Listen to the reader
So before we all agree that newspapers must go because now we have online news, I urge newspaper owners and executives to carefully study now and why people read newspapers.
They need to ask their customer/reader what they want from a printed newspaper and how they can deliver it. It is time for some customer research to uncover what that special relationship is between reader and newspaper. Let's understand why a person picks up that home delivery paper and wants to spend time consuming it. We need to become fully aware of the expectations of the consumer who buys a newspaper.
If the economy dictates that we reduce the size of newspapers but that the reader wants a paper no matter how small it is, then the job of publishers is to figure out how to profitably deliver what the reader wants. Maybe this is economy is a game changer for printed newspapers where reductions are needed but that print remains viable.
I strongly believe that the customer wants a printed newspaper and that they will pay for it and that they will continue to read and benefit from the printed advertisements. The challenge is to deliver what they want. First, newspaper managers must understand what they want and need.
The reader truly is the boss. The reader is the consumer.

There's a reason Britney Spears' conservatorship has lasted 4 1/2 years with no end in sight -- it's because she has a serious medical issue that prevents her from making consistently sound decisions ... TMZ has learned.
Documents were filed Tuesday in the conservatorship case, urgently asking the judge to seal certain records. In the papers, lawyers for the conservators called the records "highly sensitive," adding "irreparable harm and immediate danger" would befall Britney if the documents weren't sealed.
Multiple sources with firsthand knowledge tell TMZ ... the records are medical documents outlining Britney's condition and treatment.
We're told the singer has a disorder affecting her personality that can affect her state of mind. We're told she is doing "extremely well" but needs the safety net of a conservatorship.
Sources tell us there is no plan to end the conservatorship, and the judge is completely down with it.
FYI ... there are 2 components of the conservatorship -- the personal and the business. The personal conservatorship allows Jamie Spears and Jason Trawick to make life decisions for her. The business conservatorship involves managing Britney's career and fortune. As for the business side, we're told it will probably go on indefinitely because it has been incredibly successful.
multiple personality disorder.
i bet schizophrenia or bipolar, probably bipolar
I always thought she had Bipolar Disorder, but the way this is worded seems to indicate a personality disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder is kind of similar to Bipolar, so perhaps that is what is being referred to?
Her mother is a greedy attention whore who wanted her daughter to be famous more than her daughter did. That's enough to eff anyone up. It still doesn't excuse the fact that she is a little bit Bi-Polar.
I figure its bipolar disorder. Treated by medication. I figure its some sort of mental illness. Its nothing she could have prevented. I don't like Britney but I sort of feel sorry for her.
She may be suffering with schizophrenia or bipolar. Both are medical conditions that play with the personality. There is nothing to be ashamed of. I have family members with schizophrenia and with proper medication and support they are doing just fine. Britney always seemed to have some mental issues. I don't believe she sings her songs at all. I believe someone else is singing and they just use her for the videos. That's why when she sings on stage she has to lip synch all the time. It's not her voice at all in the music. Maybe it's her little sister's voice being used. Anyhow. I do wish her all the best. She seems like a great mom and a nice person.
Must be schizophrenia, which to many people unfairly suggests scary, violent behavior. Brit's people would be very afraid of THAT diagnosis.
On the other hand, bipolar disorders are very common and much more "acceptable" to the average person.

Location: 4010 E. Alki, Spokane, WA 99202
Public Hours of Operation: Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 9:30am to 12:00pm; 1:00pm to 4:30pm
Phone Number: 625-4130 (This phone number is manned by an Evidence Technician during the public hours of operation listed above.)
The Evidence Unit of the Spokane Police Department is a joint unit responsible for maintaining the integrity of evidence and chain of custody of all property that comes into their possession in accordance with state laws, city ordinances, and departmental policies and procedures. The current property facility stores over 225,000 items classified as evidence, safekeeping, or found property collected from the Spokane Police Department, Spokane Valley Police Department, and Spokane County Sheriff's Office.
The City was recently able to purchase and renovate a building to serve as the new property/evidence buildling without adding costs to the Police Department budget. The City gave up leased space in a couple of different buildings, and will use the savings to pay debt service, most remodeling costs, and annual operational expenses at the new facility.
The project for the new property/evidence facility began around five years ago, and the grand opening was held on October 5th, 2011. The previous facility was 17,000 square feet. The new facility is nearly three times that size at a little over 60,000 square feet.
From the initial placement of a property item within the facility, through all the transactions thereafter leading to either release, auction, or destruction the personnel of the Evidence Unit monitor and control the activity through the use of an automated warehouse management system. The Evidence Unit is placed organizationally in the Operations Support Bureau and is staffed with civilian employees consisting of a Police Evidence Supervisor and six Police Evidence Technicians.
Examples of Evidence Unit activity include:
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Property taken for investigation is returned to the owner when the investigating detective authorizes release. Items secured for latent prints are normally returned as soon as possible if no prints were available for evidentiary purposes. Property of evidentiary value is secured in the property facility until such time as the case is closed and the prosecuting attorney and investigating detective determine the property is no longer needed. When property is cleared to be released, a letter will be sent to the owner(s) advising them of the proper procedures for receiving their item(s).
This depends on the nature of the property. In some cases, the property release letters will contain instructions regarding notarized release of items. If these instructions are not present, the individual owner must reclaim his/her property in person.
In accordance with the RCW 63.21.010, individuals may lay claim to found property. Instructions for this procedure may be found at the Washington State Legislature web site http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=63.21.010.
The Spokane County Jail also has a property unit which collects the personal items of individuals at the time of booking. These items are stored at the Jail facility and should be returned to the individual upon their release.

According to Grohmann, at the time of Wols's death he left behind a number of copper plates which he had been working on since c.1942. He states that the exact number of these plates cannot be established since a number were ruined or lost. In 1954 Wols's widow commissioned the printing of thirty-five plates in an edition of 6. At the time of Grohmann's article three of these were in private collections and two belonged to the widow and to the artist's brother. They were printed on ivory coloured Velin Arches and stamped with the stamp of the estate. In addition one set was made which did not bear the stamp of the estate and was given to a former schoolfriend of the artist… (read more)

MONSTER UNIVERSITY has a new Poster
Hey folks, Harry here with probably one of the Great Gotta Sees of 2013's posters. Headline spoils it, but MONSTER UNIVERSITY just looks like a film that many of us have been hankering for... for a very long time. I'm so curious to see how the monster loving maniacs at Pixar have peppered their film with in-jokes for those that know their monsters, monster creators and monster history. AND - I must admit, I would love a sparkling vampire joke. I would.
Here's the poster:
Brian Lynch pointed me at this International FRENCH Poster, which is... well even better:

I hope this is a return to form for Pixar. I had no interest in Cars 2 and Brave was kind of boring (but beautiful). What are they going to leave on their doorknob to let the other roommate know that he's closing some monster ass? www.nonipplesonthesuit.com
Sequels, prequels, and 3-D re-releases mark the end of a pretty stellar run. I'll take third-rate 80's Disney movies over crap like CARS 2 any day of the week.

It was one helluva 15 year run of execellence. No other studio has even come close to that kind of financial/artistic success. I blame the Cars movies.

I have no problem with Pixar sequels. Toy Story 2 and 3 anyone?
by Deceased Fan
I haven't seen Cars 2 yet probably because the Cars DVD was on loop at my house for at least 2 years straight. Also I didn't have high hopes given Cars was at the bottom of my Pixar list, but Monster's Inc. was great.
I jacked off all day incase anyone wondered.

Seriously, dahveed, it's like you've never heard of Disney. And Toy Story 2 to Cars was 7 years, not 15.
by Baked
Because A Bug's Life was unimaginative shit and if it weren't for the fact that Pixar had blown everybody away with Toy Story, they wouldn't have gotten the benefit of the doubt nearly as much. By the way, considering Pixar's release schedule of 2-3 years between movies, we're talking a hot 4-movie streak. But seriously, A Bug's Life was crap.
Toy Story and Bung's Life were three years apart. That's the longest stretch they've had. Of the last 15 years, they've released a movie in all but three.

You know, if they ever make Incredibles 2, it'll probably suck
by Drath
Just because I wanted it so much more than all this other shit they thought should be made instead. To be fair, loved Monster Inc, so I want to spend more time with the characters too, but still, dammit, every sequel/prequel that isn't to the Incredibles makes me hate Pixar ever so slightly more.
The Toy Story movies are the exception to the rule. Cars 2 was their first big critical bomb, and who was asking for a Monsters Inc. PREQUEL with Sully & Mike in college, or a sequel to Finding Nemo? Pixar needs to knuckle down and start cranking out classic ORIGINAL films again, lest they become Dreamworks/Blue Sky and do nothing but crank out one sequel after another.

If Brave had been the masterpiece it could have I would give MU a pass
by performingmonkey
As it stands, I'm waiting for this mediocre Pixar run to end! Okay, MU could be lots of fun, but it can't possibly be up there with the likes of Ratatouille, Incredibles and Wall-E. They need to make another one of those to win me back.
...Stifler's Mom just said it all.
maybe topped by Up and TS3. and cars 2 wasn't bad at all. I guess most people are just put off by the thought of talking cars and wouldn't even give it a shot....
How could anyone say Cars 2 wasn't bad at all? It was one huge misstep from the minute Lasseter decided to make Mater the main character. It is the only truly bad Pixar movie.
I don't think it's their "best" but CARS is a nice little movie. I can't win the argument, but I guarantee that 75% of the venom spewed at this movie is pure resentment of NASCAR and Larry the Cable Guy that the haters cannot get over. The "cruising" scene, when the town gets lit up again after years of neglect, was heartwarming. And while I loathe Larry the Cable guy, I just can't find fault with him as Mater. Sure, it would have been nice to get Jim Varney, but you can't really do anything about that.
Cars 2 did have a bit of stink to it.
This phase Pixar is in can't end soon enough. I'm not against sequels if they roll out an original film between sequels. One for them, one for us - it's a business, I get that. But when both their last sequel AND their last original film were largely underwhelming, a compromise like that just becomes infuriating. From trailer one, Brave seemed like the Pixar response to How to Train Your Dragon (which I thought was Dreamworks' greatest effort by a longshot). The fact that Brave didn't even come close to matching the quality of Dragon kind of makes me throw my arms up in defeat. There's no sense in hating on Pixar for its sequel projects if they can't even make great originals anymore, either.
they make like one good movie, 2 mediocre the rest are garbage but you have those great ones. here's my list... The Incredibles.... Needs a fucking sequel had alot of fun watching. Toy Story Series... C'mon admit it, you had fun watching it... Up... I felt so sorry for the main character when his wife died. right in the heart... that solidified it for me. Wall=E... Visually amazing in blu-ray and poignant to the future of the human race and love between robots. great story pixar. the rest is garbage...
Thank you! Finally someone who gets it. Pixar movies as a whole suck! Couple ok movies.
Ok, I get that point. thing is that I am not american and have close to zero knowledge of nascar and have absolutely no idea what Larry the Cableguy did apart from cars 1&2. and yes darthkitten, I actually enjoyed cars 2 for the great animations and michael caine, who I admire a lot. yes mater is annoying, but it didn't ruin the movie for me...
Sequels are never good!

Read about how Pixar paid off underground artist Stanley Mouse to hush up about their theft of his ideas for MONSTERS INC-
by sasquatch_with_a_swatch_watch
http://monsterama.blogspot.com/2006/01/monsters-ick.html http://www.shlaw.com/news/item.php?item_id=000030 Hey how about a prequel where these shitty movies never happened and this guy actually got to make his movie?
All of the shit looks exactly the same. The same overused animations over and over again. All the faces look exactly the same. The animation isn't even good by modern standards. You guys need to grow the fuck up.
Looking forward to a sequel to Monsters Inc. Seriously, not all PIXAR movies are to my taste, but they do rock when it comes to animation. Now Brave was actually a nice movie, but I never saw either CARS or CARS 2. I have no appeal to see a talking car.
There has to be the John Belushi, exploding boiled egg-pimple reference in this movie.
AICN had the viral Pacific Rim stuff up the other day, and already updated it with more stuff: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/59816

by cozy
I know they're bad but as for the new ones (brave, ralph, up), are they not made for children anyways? Is it maybe not that the movies are getting worse but you motherfuckers are becoming older, jaded, and joyless? I'm wondering how kids felt about these movies. I know a few kids that are absolutely CRAZY for those shitty Cars movies. I'm not sure why. It might have something to do with them being CHILDREN.

My daughter wasn't even born when Monsters Inc was released...
by workshed
...but she flipped her wig when she saw these posters. Mike and Sully are loved by kids the world over and if some of you cynical gits can't see that this film is going to do $1billion all day long you're mad. As Toy Story 3 showed, ten years is the perfect gap for a worthy sequel. Surprised a Nemo/Incredibles sequel isn't on the cards already. You may be right that the 'Golden Age of Pixar' is over, though I wouldn't count on the drought lasting too long as there is some class talent being honed to take over from the masters.
Dec. 1, 2012, 2:23 p.m. CST
Monsters Inc is class. Looking forward to taking my little girl to see this!
by BiggusDickus
And I agree with whoever said Cars and Cars 2 were bad. And apart from the first half, Wall-E was crap, too...
Actually, there is a Nemo sequel in development. Pixar takes a while with pre-production, so it's probably a few years off, but it's lined up. Andrew Stanton will be back as well.
Since the first film ended with the whole laughter is better then scares, or something, and this one, at least from the posters, looks to be pretty immersed in scares again, wonder what the arc of the story is.

Its strange ... I LOVE the original ... but have never had a desire to see anymore of the characters. They story felt done and done well.
by GINGE_MUPPET
They have all the characters in their servers. Think of the time and money they save by just using the same characters they've already rendered. The only disadvantage is that there aren't new toys to sell.

This should have been a PIXAR version of School Ties, with Mike being the jettisoned Jew.
by YourMomsBox3D
Fucking write that down.
Kung Fu Panda has been touted as "being six parts" from the beginning, and How To Train Your Dragon has both 2 and 3 with with years already slated for release, not to mention crappy TV series with stand-in cast. Other studios jump on the sequals the *instant* anything is a success. Cars 2 has plenty of issues but you can't say it is more of the same; it goes off at such a tangent. The last film they put out was something *totally* original, no source material like, say, How To Train, and they have two upcoming movies (men and evolved dinos living together, and "a journey into the mind") which are totally original. What more do you expect from a studio that still "only" puts out one film a year?

What's the difference between Disney and Pixar movies now anyway?
by CharlesG
Pixar is just following old Disney plots now -- "Brave" followed the Disney Princess story template almost precisely, and "Monster University" sounds like it could be right out of Disney's Medfield College series (e.g., the "Flubber" films), and Disney has been doing computer animation for years. Would anyone have thought twice if "Wreck-It Ralph" had been labeled a Pixar movie?

Pixar needs to take all those billions of dollars made and hire some creative writers to make original material and stop making sequels.

My favorite thing from that poster is the little "Used" sticker on one of the books.
by Somerichs
Most of my books in school had that exact sticker...
...and thought is was beautifully rendered, but oddly uninvolving. However, my kids loved it and watched it three times in a row, so what does an adult who expects to be entertained by a children's movie know anyway? Thinking about it again, I can see why the story resonated with them, and I appreciated that they toned the violence down this time. They are looking forward to this one a lot.

Poor fanboys.
This was one hell of a run, wasn't it? So many good movies in a row? I say give them a few mullagens. They've earned it.
I'd love to hear some sources on this. I know alumni at my college who have worked at pixar so I'd LOVE to know where you're getting that.
Monsters Inc was a beautiful, heartwarming film that still gives me a lump in the throat at the end. My daughter absolutely loved it; she laughed, she was scared, she was happy, and she cried at the end - watching it together was an experience I'll always remember, and I'd love to take her to see a sequel. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you people?
Nice comment.

Pixar is still far and away the most consistently great studio on the planet. Name one other prolific studio that has a better track record
by kidicarus
Dec. 3, 2012, 10:05 a.m. CST
And for the assholes ranting about it being overrated, these movies aren't aimed at you, so move on
by kidicarus
Yup, same book sticker. Now what I really wonder is if we'll get a scene where a used book costs $152 screams and then they bring it back for the exchange program and they say the book can't be returned because it's been replaced with a new edition even though the school has said they can't afford new editions of anything.
So how the last one was basically the Magnificent 7 this one will be Man in the Iron Mask....with bugs.
The fickle fanboy winds have finally turned against Pixar. I'm shocked it took this long.
Are the monsters gonna fight against a crusty dean, in the course of trying to get laid?
a shame we had to endure Cars II before this
From HitFix: "The nominations for the 40th annual Annie Awards were announced today, and Disney had to be all smiles with 27 nominations across four feature films in play. And it was "Brave" and "Wreck-It Ralph" from that stable that led the pack, along with DreamWorks Animation's "Rise of the Guardians," with 10 nominations apiece.
 Not far behind was "Hotel Transylvania" and "ParaNorman" with eight nods each.... The other DreamWorks entry in play, "Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," brought in four nods...."
 Saw "Wreck-It Ralph" yesterday- excellent flick.
And Brave was barely watchable. Not much there that Disney wasn't doing 20 years ago. Well, Pixar had a good run but it is over.

You have to remember that the viewing parents see no difference between BRAVE and HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA
by Nintendarth
So why do the extra work? PIXAR finally figured that out.
if every movie ever made was judged only by talk backers on this site....there wouldnt be a single fucking movie ever made that wasnt an overrated piece of giant shit. like someone noted earlier...if there was a thread about oxygen on here...20 douchebags would show up and say it was overrated and shitty. i'd put monsters inc at number 4 on my pixar movie list, behind up - toy story - and nemo. this looks like a great idea for a prequel to me. and judging by the handling of the toy story sequels, i have no problem with pixar looking to further explore and expand this little corner of their universe. im excited about this childrens movie. fuck you haters.
Seriously. I dozed off for a few minutes part way through. Now I liked the original Cars movie, thought it had some heart but Cars2 was just a cynical cash grab. My kids haven't re-watched it either unlike the original. Personally Monsters Inc is my own favourite Pixar movie so I hope they knock the sequel out of the park. Saw Brave this week too, it was okay but it no 'How to train your Dragon '
Monsters Inc was my favorite movie and I'm so excited to take my daughter to see Monsters University for her first movie theater experience

I just thought it was a bit strange that the second (or was it third?) floor bathroom didn't have lights, so you could only use it in the morning. Having lights installed probably wouldn't cost a lot and it would make things much more convenient for guets. "

Japanese for All Occasions is an introduction to Japanese speech styles, or the ways in which Japanese speakers adjust their words depending on who they are talking to. In this unique volume, veteran teacher Taeko Kamiya shows how similar ideas are expressed in casual, polite, honorific, and humble styles.
Japanese Kanji Power helps beginning and intermediate Japanese language learners to master the reading and writing of 464 of the most important kanji. The presentation of each kanji incorporates many key features, such as sample sentences that introduce each kanji in context; a list of frequently-used compounds and phrases; stroke count and a stroke-order diagram; and numerous exercises and frequent reviews.
Picture mnemonics are a proven tool in the world of language learning. Full of useful writing tips, rules that allow students to write all Japanese, sounds, and exercises such as word searches, crossword puzzles, fill in the blanks, timed recognition quizzes and more, this book is an excellent tool to increase knowledge of the Japanese language. Includes a set of 46 flashcards.
From ai ("love") to zukkyu! ("heart attack!"), Japanese Street Slang details the roughest and rawest street language as it's used in Japan today. Here's how the Japanese really speak: the hustlers and high-rollers, the anime otaku teens and Tokyo yuppies, the gangsters and their ladies of the night. This is the guide to the kinkiest sex talk, drug slang, criminal lingo, popular text-messaging abbreviations, and more.
In the 22 years since its publication, Japanese for Busy People has won acclaim worldwide as an effective, easy-to-understand textbook, either for classroom use or for independent study. Now, in its first revision in more than a decade, the series is being redesigned, updated, and consolidated to meet the needs of today's students and businesspeople who want to learn natural, spoken Japanese as effectively as possible in a limited amount of time.
This workbook has been specially designed for those students wishing to learn the two basic Japanese scripts, hiragana and katakana, as efficiently and painlessly as possible. It teaches not only reading and writing but also - with the aid of an included CD - listening and pronunciation.
This workbook has been designed for those students who are not yet comfortable conversing in Japanese and wish to have more practice. "Drills for Oral Fluency," as it might be called, provides ample speaking and listening practice in the form of illustrated exercises that call on learners to construct dialogues and role-play in Japanese.
Picking up where Japanese for Busy People I left off, the text goes beyond survival Japanese, turning to the basics of Japanese syntax. Topics covered include plain forms of verbs and adjectives; compound sentences; modifying, terminal ("when"), and conditional ("if") clauses; clauses; potential and volitional forms; and direct and indirect quotation.
Japanese for Busy People 2 provides the basic language skills necessary to function in a professional environment. In this new edition, numerous revisions and additions have been made, taking into account the comments and responses of both students and teachers who have been using the course.
The Workbook for Japanese for Busy People II has long served students at the mid-beginner level who require support as they try to master plain forms of verbs, time expressions, conditional clauses and other difficult grammatical topics. Now, with this completely revamped 3rd edition, students can enjoy the same support while also expanding their vocabulary and honing their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills.

Youngster makes PGA Tour life a habit
In this photo taken Tuesday, May 14, 2013, Guan Tianlang, 14, from China, tees off on the 18th hole during a practice round at Byron Nelson Championship golf tournament in Irving, Texas. (AP Photo/The Dallas Morning News, Brad Loper) MANDATORY CREDIT; MAGS OUT; TV OUT; INTERNET USE AP MEMBERS ONLY; NO SALES. |
IRVING, Texas (AP) -- Guan Tianlang is one of five amateur players being honored this week for the Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Awards.
While the other four award recipients will be watching the Byron Nelson Championship, the 14-year-old Guan — already the youngest player to make a cut on the PGA Tour — is playing in the tournament.
This is the second PGA Tour event for the eighth-grader from China since making the cut last month at the Masters. He also made the cut at New Orleans, where he first spoke with Nelson officials about playing this week.
"Always a challenge, every tournament, because this is another big event ... this is only my third start and everything is still new to me," Guan said Wednesday, a day before the Nelson's opening round. "I have to play my best and make some good score."
The youngster's impressive performance at Augusta has led to invitations to play in other events. He hopes to again be playing in the weekend rounds.
"For this week, I want to enjoy the experience, great experience here," Guan said. "And hope to, yeah, make the cut. And if I make the cut hope to play better and better."
There are two sponsor exemptions playing in this year's Nelson: Guan and 19-year-old Jordan Spieth, the Dallas native playing at TPC Four Seasons for the third time.
Spieth is playing as a pro this time, having made six of nine cuts and already won nearly $700,000 this season. As an amateur at the Nelson, he tied for 16th as a 16-year-old in 2010, then played on the same day as his high school graduation two years ago when he tied for 32nd. He played one season at the University of Texas before turning pro.
"I think it's incredible what he's doing," Spieth said about Guan. "He played beyond his years, the composure. I watched him at the Masters and honestly going into it, I thought it would be a little too much for him, and he surprised the whole world. Then to follow it up with a made cut in his second event."
The two had what Spieth described as "small talk" when they were on the range next to each other in New Orleans.
This week in the area Spieth calls home, they were near each other on the putting green.
"It was just me and my bag, and he he's got a whole group of people," said Spieth, a past recipient of the Byron Nelson International Junior Golf Awards.

Tweak Your Campaign and Track: Pay Per Click Strategies Part Two
In part one of this article we examined how to get your PPC keywords up and running. This is the point at which too many people think the job is done and don't realise there is still work to do. In this second part we will look at three more steps to ensure a business gets the most from its PPC campaign.
Step Two – Design Unique Adverts for Every Single Search Phrase
A lot of people take the time to research the keywords for their company but then stop there. This is a mistake as there are a number of further steps to take to make sure you get the best return on your investment. The first thing to do is to make sure you design a unique advert for every single search phrase you are investing in. This will, of course, take more time than simply writing and designing one advert for all of your PPC search terms, but you will find that a bit of work now will pay big dividends later. This is because adverts that are correctly matched to the correct and corresponding search phrase will receive many more hits and this means much more targeted traffic for you and your business.
The first step is to make sure you write the correct and most effective title for the listing. The titles are the main link text of the listing. The text here should be chosen very carefully as it is effectively the attention grabbing headline for your product and advert. As with all good adverts the title should be short (in this case preferably less than 5 words) and get straight to the point. Unlike SEO it doesn't need keywords to rank, just words that will sell your product and make people click through.
Underneath the title you get the chance to put a small description but again this is not the time to get carried away writing an essay. No more than 25 words and straight to the point, telling the consumer / reader how clicking your advert will find what they are looking for. For example, if the search query was 'international teddy bears,' then your title might be 'International Teddy Bears at HouseofTeddy.com' and your description could be something like 'Wide range of teddy bears from all over the world at unbelievable prices. HouseofTeddy offer the highest quality teddies at the very best prices.'
Step Three – Make Sure You Send Traffic to the Correct and Most Appropriate Page on your Site.
Again, this is another step that people sometimes bypass at the planning stage where a little bit of extra effort could make all the difference to their sales figures later. If you go to the trouble of setting up PPC with individual advertising for each and every product, then make sure you do the same for the page that you send them to. Use a URL that takes the person directly to the sales landing page for that product and not to your general homepage for your site. Many people don't take the time to browse, or are not particularly skilled at navigating their way around sites. Imagine your customer is completely free of web skills and take them to the place where they can instantly buy what they are looking for and what you are selling. With this in mind build a sales specific landing page to answer the question they have posed. If they have asked google – 'where can I buy English Beefeater Teddy Bears?' then take them to a page that sells English Beefeater teddy Bears with one click of the button. Simple as that.
Step Four – Track your results.
Lastly, it is important to track the results of your PPC campaign. If you're going to spend money on an advertising campaign you'll need to know whether it pays dividends or not, so you can decide whether to do it again. This is easy to do and more importantly, free to do. Simply install the free tracking tools available via Google Adwords and you can measure the search terms that are bringing your business the best results. Also, look into other third party tools that can measure how well your PPC search terms and phrases are converting into sales.
In the end, after you have followed these steps and tried out Pay Per Click for a few weeks (or months) you can simply sit down and decide: Am I getting better results and more sales that make the cost of PPC worth it or not? If you are, carry on with PPC, if you're not, stick to good old fashioned SEO.

PPC is still a good way to gain traffic..but you just have to keep an eye on your spending and you will be ok..
"Black Seo Guy "Signing Off"
What about structure? In part one you recommend going after a large amount of keywords? I think it would be helpful to PPC novices if you went deeper into how to structure an account.

This is the best gnocchi recipe that I have ever used. The gnocchi come out light and airy, with a flavor that is distinctive (I think it is due to the nutmeg, which is not at all overpowering. I served it with a basil pesto for a dinner party and everyone loved it, especially how light an airy they were. Delicious.

The dunderi proved to have flavors that were both bold and delicate and was incredibly easy to make. I haven't watched this episode and didn't have a picture to work from, so I am afraid that my little pastas look nothing like they should, but they did taste delicious. I learned that the dough can handle -- and likes -- liberal seasoning with salt and pepper, which sharpens the gentle cheese flavors and helps to balance the pasta with the sauce.
