Let Your Beautiful Story Get You Profitable Results
I’ve dealt with a few criticisms about including my personal story on my website, but more importantly, for every skeptic I’ve had at least 10 people tell me how much they admire what I share and how it resonates with them (and those folks usually end up coaching with me). So why share your personal story? Because it’s going to be one of the fastest, most genuine ways to connect with those people that you are meant to serve in your business.My ideal clients are high-integrity healers, practitioners, and female entrepreneurs, who are

rely possible to have a well designed website, strong search engine rankings (placement on search engines results), yet have poor PageRank.

As a website owner, it is important to not get discouraged over a low PR score. PageRank is not the only way of measuring your online weight. Here are other things to help monitor your website’s success:

Blog or Ezine? Top 7 Reasons to Blog Now!
Many of my small business clients ask me: "What is a blog and do I need one?" As a marketing consultant and business coach, I too had to address those questions in my own business.A blog is a form of online journal that business owners use to develop customer relationships and establish credibility. Blog authors write and post relevant content frequently – daily, every couple of days or weekly.After publishing an ezine for some time, I decided to give up my monthly ezine for a blog. Of course I could do both -- for the more points of c

Google has revolutionized the way businesses operate on the web. Entire industries have been formed to meet the match of the most powerful search engine in the world. With such a force in the world of internet marketing, it is natural for new features to come and go.

One such feature, or byproduct of Google, is their PageRank tool available on the Google Toolbar. To understand what this feature does, you must first understand PageRank – another Googleism. PageRank is a numeric value, between 0 and 10, assigned to each webpage. Furthermore, PageRank is based on “votes” from other web pages. Google, for instance, interprets a link from page A to page B as vote. Google uses this as an indicator of an individual page’s value to the end viewer. If many sites link to yours, Google assumes your site is of value and relevant to a web surfer.

With that said, Google’s Toolbar, when in use, gives a visual representation of a website’s PageRank. The feature comes under fire at this point, it has been rumored that the PageRank (PR) feature is lagging behind – possibly up to two months behind. Meaning, if you have several hundred new links to your site, you will not see immediate increase of your PR.

If you don’t pay attention to the PR score anyway, you have nothing to worry about. However, that is not the case for thousands of businesses, webmasters, internet marketers and Search Engines Optimization “Experts”. Many times, they view a website’s PageRank as the best yardstick to gauge a website’s popularity.

In contrast, there are no obvious ties between strong search engine rankings and strong PageRank. It is entirely possible to have a well designed website, strong search engine rankings (placement on search engines results), yet have poor PageRank.

The Effects Of Printing Press: Society Speaking
The discovery and establishment of the printing of books with moveable type marks a paradigm shift in the way information was transferred in our society. The impact of printing is comparable to the development of language, the invention of the alphabet, and the invention of the computer as far as its effects on the society.A great transformation to our culture was brought due to the discovery of printing press that apparently enlightened us on what’s was happening around us through informations, books and other printed documents. Which become

Why Can't Everyone Be Just Like Me?
Why do people do the things that they do? Does my husband labor over a detail to make me suffer or is perfection something that he feels is achievable? Does my son bring home papers from school after the events have all passed just to annoy me, or is he trying to meet some need of his own, something far more important to him than paying attention to details? We find the answer partially in our preferred behavioral approach.One model of behavior that attempts to help us understand this is called DISC. The DISC model identifies four styles of

The Six Sigma Mis-Implementation: How to Know if You're a Victim, Before It's Too Late!
Though the benefits of implementing the Six Sigma strategy to a business’s processes can lead to far greater successes that could ever have been achieved without it. However, this is only the case when the implementation of Six Sigma has been done properly. Unfortunately, this is not always what happens. Mis-implementing Six Sigma can be extremely damaging to a business.Because Six Sigma often leads to an entire overhaul of every single process and function within a business, its implementation impacts all levels and employees.

How to Create a WIN/WIN When a Prospect Requests a Discount
The good news is that when a prospective client asks for a discount, he's usually interested in obtaining your services.However, the way in which you handle this request will ultimately have an effect on the value that is placed on you and your services by this potential client.If you immediately say "yes," and offer your service at a discounted rate, what do you think your potential client is going to think?You can bet it's probably something along these lines: Hmmm...She sounds like she'll work for peanuts.

Are Your Goals Accomplished?
Any website should have a plan, just as any business should have a goal or plan. Has your website met or exceeded these goals? What are your sales? Are you keeping your visitors longer than 30 seconds? Are your visitors purchasing your product? What are your returns? Lacking in any of these areas can indicate trouble in places other than your PageRank. Perhaps your sales letter is weak or maybe your product could use improvement. If your sales are lacking, look to your product, not your PageRank.

Outside Rankings
How are you doing on other search engines? Yes, there are other search engines. Many, Yahoo!, AOL, MSN, and AskJeaves have their own way of measuring a website’s relevancy to a topic. Often times, they disregard PR anyway. Be sure you are not focusing on only one indicator of your online success.

Not All Links Are Created Equal
Just because you have 1 million links to your site does not mean you will have great success. If you have 6-7 powerful links, you may have the same PR as a site with 6,000-7,000 links. Associate yourself with websites similar to yours. By linking with related sites, you are increasing your chances of 1) being found by a search engine, 2) being found by a human visitor – your ultimate goal.

Link Anyway
Just as not all links are created equal, you should be on the constant lookout for places you can link with. Having more powerful links will help you. For example, if you are a commercial mortgage company, link with commercial brokers who have customers similar to those you want. As in any business, having exposure in key areas is beneficial to your succe

There are a lot of advantages to having your website link in your forum signature. I'm not suggesting you join a forum in order to spam them with your site URL, but if you going to be using the forum anyway you might as well take advantage of the benefits of having your website advertised in the signature of your posts.
