I'm normally a Marriott girl. The rooms were clean as well as the rest of the hotel...the view isn't the greatest; however for a short stay this is perfect. Nice pool and exercise room...couldn't ask for more. Sits right off of I65....

'Leccy-starved Reg hack: 'How I survive on 1.5kW'
Here's a provocative question for readers in these power-hungry times: could you survive in a house where the total power draw of all your electrical appliances and fittings at any one time can't exceed 1.5kW? An overloaded kilowatt meter Preposterous, we hear you cry. Stick a load in the washing machine and put the kettle on …
Re: Pity you're not in France
> EDF has finally started installing huge solar arrays and shiny new connection box free for all and sundry as long as you sign up to giving them the power for say twenty years.
Do you have a source for that? As I understand it, the installation cost still falls on the homeowner, although it can be partially offset against tax. EDF will sign a contract guaranteeing to buy the power from you for 20 years, that's all.
Until a year or so ago it was a good deal, the guaranteed income over 20 years would cover the costs, but between the reduction of the feed-in tariffs and the reduction of the maximum tax break from 50% to 25% there is now no guarantee of payback within 25 years. Since most solar installations are guaranteed for 25 years at max it has become a decidely dodgy proposition. Lots of solar energy installers are going out of business, since demand has collapsed.
Don't you know that you have to bribe the local electrician with a few bottles of (good) wine? It also helps to buy the local Mayor a couple of lunches (lots of wine too), for signing planning applications and permits and such.
You'd also do better to pop up a solar cell or three and power your lights from that too.
Had a friend who bought a farm house for restoration in rural Spain a few years ago - he was of the view that wine and lunch has magical (bribe) abilities to get things done. If your morals and ethics prevent you from doing that, move back to the first world, as Spain isn't there yet.
A lot of people on canal boats survive on a regular power feed of less than 1.5kW. Its no big deal...
1.5 kw? Luxury!
Ask a boater how it's done. But I have to admit to using other people's washing machines!
You say "boletín" I say "Part P Certificate"
"the new installation would need a boletín: a certificate from a qualified Spanish sparks, who'd charge a handsome premium for his signature on the vital document."
Isn't this an EU-wide thing? In the UK, if you want to do anything more complicated than replacing a lightbulb now, you have to get a sparky to certify the work, for a fee that makes a DIY solution cost double what the sparky would charge to do the work in the first place. The theory of the Part P is to prevent amateur and cowboy cock-ups, but in practice, it means I can't sort out the dangerous spider web of 20 year old extension cables that the previous owner set up to supply the garage.
Re: You say "boletín" I say "Part P Certificate"
Absolutley right. I have and electrical engineering degree, was trained by an electricity company to be a distribution engineer (able to work on 240v to 132,000v) and I still have to pay some half assed monkey to check my work.
That wouldn't be so bad, but when I moved into this house, 19 of the 23 light switches weren't wired correctly, and half of the lights in the place ran from a plug fed from the downstairs sockets ringmain. I know the person who lived here before, he doesn't even own a screwdriver and a hammer, so it wasn't him who did it, it was the original builders electrician and the "qualified idiots" that were hired afterwards.
When Part P was proposed, I looked up in the HSE website how many fatalities had been caused by DIY electrical work in the last 5 years, it was something like 3, more people died in Bagel related accidents than that.
Just paper for papers sake..
Re: You say "boletín" I say "Part P Certificate"... I say (maybe) extortion
I am so glad, that in my home (US) state, a homeowner can legally do work on their home - subject to a municipal inspection.
In 1988, I needed to move the existing 125 amp service from a soon to be removed interior wall to an exterior garage wall, along with relocating the electric meter from the back of the garage to the side of the garage. (I wanted to free up the area behind the garage in the event I decided to expand the porch, and I knew that the local power company really hates to have their meters located inside a building, or an enclosed porch.)
Now, the fact that I was an electrician for 10 years didn't hurt either. Without telling the inspector who I had worked for, I ran past him what I was planning to do, and he didn't find any problems with the scope of the work planned.
Since I really hate to work things hot, I set things us so that I would remove the old meter and panel after the power company moved the drop to the new side of the house. Once the new panel was installed, and the circuits extended back to a 6" by 6" by 6" splice box in the attic, the only load the old service was supplying was a temporary 40 amp feed to the new service. The inspector came back out a second time to insure that the panel and service were properly installed, and that the grounding (earthing for you Brits) was done correctly. He then contacted the power company so they could move the drop. (In my area, the power company will not connect a service that has not been inspected.) I arranged to be home when the worker from the power company showed up, and cut loose the temporary feed, while he moved the drop. Done.
That weekend, with the old meter and service now dead, I ripped it from the wall. One last inspection, and job done.
Other than materials and a building permit fee, that job didn't cost too much. Just my time.
Bootnote: It was on the last inspection, did the inspector ask me: "Didn't you used to work for ........" "Yep, sure did."
Now, during my time as an electrician, I got to know many inspectors from the numerous municipalities in my area, and have heard some of the horror stories about stupid shit being done by homeowners. Today, I bet a youtube search will bring up hundreds, if not thousands of videos of absolutely shitty attempts at electrical work, most of them quite dangerous.
If you know what you are doing, and use the proper materials and perform the work in accordance with your local codes, then that is one thing. Taking shortcuts, is something completely different. Some people will do work without an inspection, and especially when it comes to electricity, doing uninspected work is quick grounds for you to find out about some deeply buried cancellation or claim refusal provisions in your home fire insurance policy that come with (financially) painful consequences.
Re: You say "boletín" I say "Part P Certificate"... I say (maybe) extortion
> I am so glad, that in my home (US) state, a homeowner can legally do work on their home - subject to a municipal inspection.
That's also the case in the UK, and is an alternative to paying a "Part P" certified moneky to do the work.
Of course, the cost of getting the inspection done by the building approval people is far higher than the cost of paying the aforesaid monkey, so you're screwed either way.
Re: You say "boletín" I say "Part P Certificate"
I too have an electrical engineering degree, plus 25 years experience in things like controls engineering and 3-phase panel wiring, and I'm not allowed to wire my own house.
However a numpty kitchen fitter can wire your kitchen, after "training" (picking his nose in boredom at the back of a classroom for a week, more like).
When they brought Part P in, it was clearly to provide jobs to huge numbers of trainers, while preventing people who already knew what they were doing from doing it. The last thing a politician likes is someone who know what they're doing. No, it was all about keeping people in training for as long as possible, to keep them off the dole queues so the politicians could crow about how great they were at running the economy.

I'm confused. I thought the house was in Spain.
Gas Fridge?
Can you still get gas fridges?
Re: Gas Fridge?
Re: Gas Fridge?
You can also get gas tumble-dryers.
Re: Gas Fridge?
We used to have a gas fridge back in the 1970s, useful with the powercuts.
I was the one who had to crawl under the sink to relight the pilot if it ever went out!
As an aside I've never seen an advert with so many spelling mistakes coming from a UK company.
Re: Gas Fridge?
Dometic is (nominally) a Swedish group - although you'd have hoped the UK distributors might have checked the copy before posting it...
No Problemo
I would just go to Harbor Freight Tools and buy a cheapo generator, or else rent one for the temporary job. Then set it outside and fire it up, and remember to keep a can of gas (petrol) handy when it gets low. A few longer extension cords should complete the installation. Just remember to roll them back and stow them up so the local thieves don't steal them for copper.
Or if you have a bit if money, put solar water heating panels on the roof. Or maybe use the exhaust heat to heat the water.
Lester, if you are having problems fitting the outside electricity box you are not using the right tools.
I had to do that job for a client here over the border in France. The only difference was that it was for the water meter. The complete job took just over half an hour including the channel up the wall for the water pipe.
Tools used, a hand held motorised diamond saw and a large jack-hammer powered from a generator. The walls are made of stone and where this had to go just under a metre thick. The channel was 10cm wide and had to go below ground level by 75cm. All of the outside work was easy, the fun part was drilling the 6cm hole through the wall.
All fun and games with these lovely thick stone walled houses.
Why do Reg Hacks live on the edge of society?
There's one who seems live up a mountain in Scotland and now Lester lives up a mountain in Spain. Are they trying to hide from someone?
Re: Why do Reg Hacks live on the edge of society?
> Are they trying to hide from someone?
Re: Why do Reg Hacks live on the edge of society?
The SPB are planning to fly a paper plane from one mountain-top to the other.
No problem.
My parents have a beach cottage in Massachusetts. No utility service is available, so the whole house runs from a 2kW inverter on batteries with PV solar charging supplemented by a 4kW generator. I re-built the electrical system in the place last summer. Living on limited electricity isn't that hard if you make some smart choices along the way.
We use a gas-fired refrigerator and water heater, the heat is by passive vented gas furnace and woodstove. No air conditioning. Electrical usage is really just for lighting, entertainment gadgets, power tools for constant maintenance in the marine climate, and water pumping from the well.
Spain? An advanced 21st Century civilisation? When did that happen?
Carbon tipi toes
It may seem a drag but how many kids actually have a grasp on energy use unless forced by circumstances.
It's a valuable lesson and one that could quietly repay over generations.
Plasma's need nuking due to both the power the RF noise they generate not to mention the amount of brain cells they kill every day.
Proof? I see a strong correlation.
You know you are in the last phase of Plasma degenerative disease when the fridge seems a long way off and your lower clothing has stripes down the sides.

Kettle and Microwave.
Perhaps I am a barbarian American, but for tea, I always heated water on the stove, and for many years I did popcorn on covered pan on the stove.
Re: Kettle and Microwave.
Perhaps I am a barbarian American, but for tea, I always heated water on the stove
Probably are! I spent time in California in 1996 and 1998-2000. On first 6 month visit we went to local electrocal retailer (Fry's) and searched for a kettle ... found nothing and salesbods had no idea of what we were talking about. Just before I returned to UK branch of Bloomingdale's opened in Stanford shopping centre and I spotted a mini kettle there for .... $99! 2 years later when were were back for almost 3 years things had moved forward a bit and found an "electric water heater" for $20 in Walmart which was basically a 2 mug kettle which saw us through ... though at 110V it took forever to boil.
1500 Watts? Colour me impressed
It's great that you've managed to get your power consumption down to that level.
If the bank will lend me the money, I'm having solar panels installed later this year. (They are getting less expensive all the time.) It'll be very nice to be able to go to the corner shop, hand over my meter key and them give me money .....
Re: 1500 Watts? Colour me impressed
".....It'll be very nice to be able to go to the corner shop, hand over my meter key and them give me money ....." Not when the rebates disappear.
Re: 1500 Watts? Colour me impressed
I can still generate more than I can use, thanks to frugality (if not quite of Hainesian proportions) and the sheer, blind luck to live in a house with a decent amount of space on a South-facing roof with the right pitch. As long as the feed-in tariff remains at or above the retail price of electricity, I'm up on the deal. Anyway, the electricity companies are obliged, under longer-standing regulations (dating back to before privatisation) to pay at least the wholesale rate for anything suitable for feeding into the grid that anyone can generate, as long as their kit is type-approved.
In the worst case, I'll just tell E-on to F-off, and invest in some used batteries that can still just hold a charge well enough to make up the time lag between the daytime (when I'm generating my electricity) and the evening (when I'm there to use it). I'll still be better off, by the amount I used to spend on electricity.
Generators & Batteries
Re everyone who suggests using an inverter & batteries - its not as simple as it seems!
We moved to a house with no supply in the middle of a field. I fitted a generator, deep-cycle batteries, sinewave inverter, and clever charger. What I found was...
1. Batteries deliver nowhere near the capacity they're supposed to. No idea why, but they hold maybe 1/10 the rated charge.
2. Inverters won't run fridges unless they're very high output ones, ie more than 1500W. That's because the compressor motor draws a huge amount of current at startup, which it does several times an hour, compared with about 50W after its started going. That's why the lights dim slightly in most houses when the fridge starts. The only way to run fridges and freezers is directly off the generator.
3. If you have a large output inverter, you'll need bloody massive cables off the battery to carry all that current. 1500W + 15% converter inefficiency = 143A out of a 12v battery!
4. Charging the batteries requires the generator to be running for hours, because you can't charge them too quickly or they'll boil all the water off.
5. Maintenance. If anything breaks, you're in the poo till you personally fix it. Never mind if its raining and you can't quite fit in the generator shed so your back gets wet, never mind if its freezing and you've been at the lager, never mind if you have to be somewhere. YOU have to fix it.
6. You can't go anywhere. If you do, the freezer will defrost and all that lovely steak is ruined.
7. You can't trust anyone else to run the generator. When they forget, your steak is ruined, they'll titter apolgetically then walk away as if its some kind of joke. You'll never trust them again.
8. You can't skimp on kit. If you buy a modified sinewave inverter, all of your electronics will self-destruct. Cheap battery chargers will wreck the batteries. Cheap batteries are even worse than deep-cycle ones. You have to suffer expensive and crap, or suffer slightly cheaper and too-crap-to-use.
9. Running costs are huge. Generator petrol is taxed at the government's maximum nose-bleed rates in case we melt the planet. You can choose gas if your generator will run off it, which reduces fuel costs by 3/4 - but its nowhere near as cheap as mains electricity.
10. Whatever you do with the power system, cooking with electricity just isn't viable. You put in gallons of fuel, and you get out a tiny bit of heat in the cooker. Much better to cook with gas. Therefore you'll need an LPG cooker and boiler on top of all the power gubbins.
On the plus side, now we've got proper power, we have a large online UPS which kicks in whenever the mains fails - like it did last winter when an overhead line pole snapped off in the wind. Essentials like the TV, cooker and boiler (you need mains for the oven valve and boiler pump + control system) and some lights use the UPS, while everyone else in our area stumbles around looking for candles. Ha!
You can always make popcorn on the Gas Stove!
Cover the bottom of a pasta pot with oil
Put 3 popcorn kernels in the pot << This is the trick!
Put on medium fire and wait until they pop
Cover the bottom of the pot wih a single layer of popcorn
Place lid on pot
Wait until all the popcorn are popped, shaking occasionally at the end.
Enjoy wth salt or butter and honey
Try with rosemary and butter
Try with hot milk in the morning instead of corn flakes
1.5kw? No problem...
...My PSU is 450w. Add a couple of 22in monitors and an amp, mixer and turntables into the mix, and I think I would be under 1.5kw.
Haines, The Next Generation
"They'll thank me one day for organising these family bonding exercises, I have no doubt."
I am probably stating the obvious when I point out that they are more likely to send for brochures from retirement homes as soon as they become of age. If you are lucky. ;)
That aside, I thoroughly enjoyed your story. My apartment in Sweden can't handle me running the washing machine and the dishwasher at the same time. Coming from electricity-rich Norway, that was something of a cultural shock to me. I would probably have freaked out had I been in your shoes (what size do you wear?).
just stick a bigger MCB in
As long as you don't exceed the 1.5kw for an extended period of time then you will be OK, kettle/microwave will only be running for 4/5 minuites at a time.
Just so long as the Missus doesn't have a shower we seldom exceed 1.5kW in our house. Don't really see the problem.
We have less than that when working at events in the summer...
I get through quite a lot of the summer using less electric than that as I work for an events firm, and just plugging anything other than a light bulb in is likely to blow the fuse as there are normally about 10-15 caravans all running off one box with splitters.
Wouldn't installing some kind of extra generator be allowed, like maybe a temporary diesel generator, or even solar panels in the garden or on the roof - if it's in Spain it's not like they don't have enough sun.

Flammability and Explosibility
Bromine alone is a noncombustible substance (NFPA rating = 0).
Reactivity and Incompatibility
Bromine reacts violently with easily oxidized substances, including many organic compounds and a number of metals. Explosions have been reported to occur, for example, on addition of bromine to methanol, acetaldehyde, and DMF. Fires and/or explosions may result from the reactions of bromine with hydrogen, acetylene, ammonia, aluminum, mercury, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus.
Storage and Handling
Bromine should be handled in the laboratory using the "basic prudent practices" described in Chapter 5.C. In particular, work with bromine should be conducted in a fume hood to prevent exposure by inhalation, and splash goggles and rubber gloves should be worn at all times when handling this corrosive substance. Containers of bromine should be stored at room temperature in a secondary container separately from readily oxidizable substances.
In the event of skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water and remove contaminated clothing. If irritation or burns develop, seek medical attention. In case of eye contact, promptly wash with copious amounts of water and obtain medical attention. If bromine is ingested, give the person large amounts of milk or water to dilute the bromine (do not attempt to induce vomiting) and obtain medical attention immediately. If a significant amount of bromine is inhaled, move the person to fresh air and seek medical attention at once.
Treat small spills of bromine with sodium thiosulfate and an inert absorbent, place in an appropriate container, and dispose of properly. Large spills may require evacuation of the area and cleanup using full protective equipment.
Excess bromine and waste material containing this substance should be placed in an appropriate container, clearly labeled, and handled according to your institution's waste disposal guidelines. Special care should be taken not to mix bromine with incompatible waste materials. For more information on disposal procedures, see Chapter 7 of this volume.

For nearly a decade, companies have hired Future Now to help them understand how people buy online. In this same amount of time, I've spent a good chunk of each paycheck
bidding, saving money, doing "market research" on eBay. And, throughout the years, it continues to amaze me how few eBay sellers get it right.
One little-known but poorly-kept secret out there in vendorland is that many big companies — the same ones who come to us for retail advice — use eBay to dispose of returned, open-box, or otherwise retail-disabled inventory. Did you know that?
So it dawned on me: Here I am, an experienced buyer — who better to ask than me about what makes me bid, bid, bid? Want to SellItNow™ your way to increased eBay sales? Here are some guidelines so you'll be able to sell like the pros (and by pros, I mean folks like these, not just eBay PowerSellers).
10 tips for persuasive eBay listings:
#1) A Sticky Headline — If you can't write a strong headline, you might as well not bother. It's your only hope for getting anyone to ever see what you're selling. (Don't forget to test your headlines.)
#2) Better Product Images — Having better-looking product images than other sellers will do wonders. In fact, 83 percent of eBay shoppers skip listings without images, while sites with galleries get 15% more activity and those with so-called super-size photos show a 24 percent spike in sales.The better photo wins every time. Consider this photo, for example. And remember that lighting control is essential, as well as these two other points about product photos on eBay:
#3) Outstanding, Original Copy — If you're tempted to just cut-and-paste your way into persuasive sales copy, forget it. Your words matter. First of all, it's obvious when sellers just use the same boilerplate copy from the manufacturer's website, which may not even be good to begin with, that everyone else is using. Besides, using the manufacturer's copy implies to me that the product is brand new and untouched.
Show some personality. Showing personality helps potential buyers to see you as real; it builds trust. Why did you buy this product in the first place? Why are you selling it? Have you sold any of these items before? Different people buy in different ways, so the words you choose, and how you choose to dispense them, are everything. Start with spontaneous, emotional copy at the beginning, then get more methodical toward the end when listing product details. The second half of this article offers good advice on how to write for different personality types.
#4) So, What's the Catch? — Why do you have such a good deal? Oftentimes, the most persuasive thing you can do is to be completely transparent about your business model. Are you making tons of money by selling digital cameras in bulk? Did you buy too much for your brick and mortar store, and you're selling the overstock? Is your wife making you sell the XBox before you get a Nintendo Wii, so you've set a low reserve just to move it (this happens). I want to know. Sorry, but saying "Lowest price on eBay, guaranteed!" means nothing.
#5) Exaggerate Flaws — This one may seem counterintuitive for the novice seller but it makes perfect sense and the best eBay sellers do it masterfully. If there's a minor scratch on that DVD player you're selling, zoom in on it enough in a separate photo to the point where it seems ridiculous that you're apologizing for it in the first place. Overestimating flaws builds trust. Trust is what makes people bid.
#6) Accept PayPal – It's been the eBay gold standard since 1998. If you don't accept it, you're not making things easy. I'm skeptical. In fact, offer as many payment options as possible. Get the cash (GTC)!
#7) Know How to Price — Hear about all those folks trying to sell iPhones on eBay for $1,000? How's that working out? It's not. In the world of eBay, your competitors are two clicks away, at most. Overestimate the market for your product, and you'll never get that crucial first bid. Here's how it's done:
#8) Link to the Owner's Manual — (Where applicable) link to the owner's/user's manual/instructions for your product. Feel free to borrow product details from here, just don't use the manufacturer's boring words Just don't use this tip as a substitute for tip #3 above.
#9) Have a Star Rating Above 99% — If you have a star rating below 99%, that means you've upset too many people for me to feel comfortable buying. Sorry, but if you have a 100% rating and you've sold to less than 100 people, I'm still not confident; it's not a true 100%. If you've sold to thousands of people and have a 98% rating, your "success rate" means nothing.
#10) No Shipping Extortion — Last, but not least, some eBay sellers lose their minds when it comes to shipping. Do you think we're stupid? Um, no, it doesn't cost $15 to ship from a one-pound package from Kansas to Brooklyn within 10 days. If it costs $5 to ship it from China, why must I pay $25 to ship it in "4-6 weeks" from California? And, by the way, I'm receiving the package, so I often how much you've paid the very moment I get it. Try this, and the only one you'll fool is yourself.
eBay sellers: I've still got one last free corner of space in my apartment. Please help me fill it with stuff! The quicker it fills, the quicker I'll clear it out by selling on eBay and then have all sorts of free space to fill up with new eBay purchases!
Do you have any tips to sell more effectively on ebay?
Update: Seth reminds us people are irrational.
Great tips John – thank you. Too many people treat eBay like a garage sale and then are surprised when they get garage sale prices! Many of us are making a very nice full-time living selling on eBay by employing many of your tips.
Couple other thing I would mention…use the tools that are out there to make your eBay business run smoother & faster & more profitable – Terapeak, Endicia, Turbo Lister, Vendio, etc are just a few on most PowerSellers lists.
If you are going to compete, you have to have an eBay Store. This is the most powerful & inexpensive tool you could own for selling online. For $16 a month, you get an automated webstore with very powerful seo – if your Store is set up right.(99% of the eBay Stores are NOT set up right) Now you not only have the 233 million customers from eBay, but you then have the attention of anyone who is on a search engine looking for your product. My client's eBay Stores are showing up on the first page of Google for their products because of this powerful SEO feature.
Great article! Perhaps you could follow this up with 'Top Ten tips to sell "it" on Craigslist'?
Great article articulating a lot of the things I've learned by painful experience…
One more I might add though is to consider offering to sell/ship internationally. From personal experience, I can attest to the fact that MANY items will sell for significantly more if you make sure that antique guitar collector in Tokyo or Saudi oil tycoon with too much time (and cash) on his hands can purchase it.
And it's not just eBay. Most U.S. eMerchants ignore international shoppers because they think it's too much hassle, risky, etc. Not necessarily. Take a look at http://www.shurikensystems.com/html/it_s_a_small_world.html which coincidentally includes a real world example of an eBay transaction that missed out on potentially as much as 82% upside by not shipping overseas…
I used to sell a lot of items on Ebay but have ceased. I buy very little as well. Ebay does not protect consumers as well as it should and there are now many, many shady sellers operating from off-shore using Ebay.
From the sellers end, most bidding now happens in the last 20 seconds of an auction. I think the system should process ALL bids in the system as of the close of the auction. In other words, if some places a max bid of $5 on a 50 cent item with 5 seconds to go and someone else bids a max of $10, the item should go to the highest max bidder for $5.50 (assuming a 50 cent increment). Instead, the item will sell for $1 because of the time cut. The time cut should end the acceptance of bids but not the processing of bids as it does.
In an election, when the polls close you don't stop counting votes, you stop accepting ballots. If the Ebay computers were faster, the seller would get more money. So really, the amount you collect is a function of the speed of Ebay's computers—is that right?
I recommend avoiding Ebay until they clean up their act. Too many friends and clients have been "taken" lately and I no longer see Ebay as a safe harbour…

You're so right, John. I'm a work-at-home mom who has been an eBay powerseller since 2000. I'm blessed to have a 99.9% positive feedback rating (29,547) with only 23 negatives in all that time (all from eBay newbies). My husband is a marketing exec/web developer who's an insatiable consumer of grokdotcom wisdom. This month, he finally had the chance to "persuasion architecture optimize" my eBay business. He used everything he's learned from you guys to build me a new web site at http://www.sunshinestyles.com. He also optimized my actual eBay auctions. The result: I've seen a spectacular rise in my eBay and Internet traffic, my profits and my global brand recognition. It's only been a little over 3 weeks since he put everything in place, but my profits have already increased by 22%. Last year, my gross revenue hit $225,000. Now, our expectations are much higher.
Hi John,
Very good points indeed. I couldn't agree more about the importance of a Sticky Headline. Think about the printed press – do you think they'd sell as many papers with dull headlines? Not on your nelly!
I would also like to pick up on point 2 – Better Product Shots. If anyone is wondering how to spruce up their product shots they could do themselves a huge favor by checking out Bling! It – http://www.blingit.us
All the best
Great artikle.

You have done good SEO for your website (like keyword research, keyword placement, link building, and social outreach) and a result of it, you have gotten ranked in the search engines. Now you can relax, sit back and enjoy your conversions, right? No, you cannot do that. The most important thing to understand about SEO is that it is always changing.
Today you may be ranking in the top positions but tomorrow you may not. This may happen for many reasons, such as another site providing more content that's better than yours and changes in the search engine algorithms. You must keep track of your SEO, web statistics, and all possible outcomes to remain in the top positions.
Keeping track of your web analytics & rankings
It is very important that you keep track of your site's analytics and positions. Tracking your analytics enables you to know how your site is performing, how many visits are you getting everyday, and how many visitors are actually engaging. The most important part is how many conversions are you getting from that engagement. By studying all those data you can understand which part of your site is more engaging and which part is not. You can optimize the latter part according to the end user's requirements.
Because SEO is an ongoing process, a huge number of things are going on all at once. Webmasters should always be looking at their ranking positions. This will help you keep track of your overall site performance. Good (top) positions in the search results will tell how visible your site is.
Keeping track of your keywords & links
Webmasters should always optimize their keywords in order to preserve top search positions. Keyword optimization is a valuable asset of an SEO, as it will bring traffic to your site no matter how many inbound links you have or how good your site's outreach is. You must track the keyword trends and evolve your site's keyword base accordingly. I personally prefer to use Google Trends to keep track.
Link tracking is also an essential element. A webmaster should not only track links which are linking towards his/her site, but also to the links which are getting out. Unnatural links both towards and outwards can cause severe search engine penalties. Analyze the links coming to your site. If they are coming from unrelated sites, you can ask those webmasters to remove them. You must also monitor the guest posts you accept, make sure they do not contain irrelevant links or an irrelevant number of links. If the guest post is low quality content, then don't publish it. If you post low quality content, then the links within it will be considered spam.
Keeping you content 'fresh' & 'good'
Content will always the king no matter what happens. Poor content will affect the reputation of your site the most. Keeping content updated is a very desirable element of good SEO. Having a consistent writing schedule will turn general viewers into loyal readers or loyal customers. Adding more and more pages to your site will make your site grow, which is also a natural extension for good SEO. Just make sure that when you add a new page that it's connected to the rest of the site.
Ad campaign tracking
If you are doing ad campaigns to promote your site then a major responsibility will come. Tracking those campaigns is an essential part of it. Track the full statistics of the campaign, how many impressions yours ads are getting, the CTR rate, and the conversion rate. If you are not getting many conversions then try another ad agency. You must also track if there are any click frauds. If you find one then quickly notify your ad providing agency.
Social Media Tracking
In today's world, social media is a very effective way to increase your outreach for free. In case you get the proper outreach and proper engagement, you must monitor your social media profiles. There are many advantages of monitoring your social media profiles, such as:
- Getting your name out directly to the end users.
- Getting reviews for your product. You can easily identify your down loops and try to make them correct.
- By interacting with your customers or end users, you will naturally increase their trust with you and your product.
- Interacting with your end users will also provide you the information about what your competitors are doing and which measures will keep you at the top.
There are plenty of other measures which webmasters should care about in case of tracking down a website's search engine optimization, but I have tried to explain only the basic elements of it. Hope it will be helpful to you all.

At Sushi Factory, colorful dragons dance, Godzilla reigns supreme, and the Golden Gate Bridge spans its majestic arches across china plates. These tantalizing morsels are a mere sampling of the sushi we provide, several of which are original Japanese creations. With a unique approach to attract customers, Sushi Factory offers All You Can Eat Sushi at an inexpensive cost. "Sushi is expensive," notes the owner. "Most people like it, but can't spend that much money, so we did something revolutionary. We offer high quality sushi and Japanese food at affordable prices." Besides several types of sushi and sashimi, they also serve kitchen food like chicken, beef, and salmon teriyaki, tonkatsu, and vegetable and shrimp tempura. One of our specialties, the Godzilla Roll is very popular with the clients. Inside is lightly fried yellow tail, a spicy Unagi sauce, and scallions. It's sweet and spicy, with a crunchy outside, and a tender inside. People love it. We are also proud of our S.E.X. on the Mountain, which consists of Shrimp, Eel, and something eXtra (scallops). It looks like a mountain with a tree (parsley) on top. Our Dragon Roll (which includes tempura shrimp, eel, crab, and avocado) looks like a dragon, and the Spider Roll (soft-shell crab and vegetable) looks like a spider. The Golden Gate is grilled salmon skin in the shape of a bridge with fish eggs on top. The most favored of all of the rolls is Lion King Roll, which is Salmon, crabmeat, and a special sauce all baked in the oven. Every dish looks beautiful and delicious. We would like to let everybody to know that we have great food, great service, a great location, and a beautiful restaurant. The question is how good are we? We opened about two years ago, and have seen people who came regularly and later on became members. They really enjoy our food.

Principles Before Personality Common Welfare Of All
1.We bash because we care.
We care what happens to our favorite characters.
affected by every illogical plotline / new entry / twist
When the show crosses some boundaries, moral or cerebral.
The waste of awesome chemistry
which we crave, no matter what shape it takes
We restrict our discussions only to the show the daily episodes the characters actors and IPKKND related issues and do not indulge in bashing other forum members in a negative manner or mocking jeering or taking potshots at them nor do we post links to threads that are negative or nasty or of any remote interest to us and our discussions
We have the privilege of bashing and we do it in a decent ethical and classy style and lead the way
With that out of the way'..
We are not very nice folks and certainly not the sorts whose family will come online and vouch for us. We are very feisty and fiery and funny in our opinions
We do love KKG SI a lot so sue us but that does not make us phangurls nari morcha or gay or bisexual just truly appreciative of a soul sistah and human being and yes we also critique her when necessary without spewing venom or vitriol or confusing the actor with the character
We also like BS but we don't drool dribble go OMG thud faint and drown in our ocean of saliva we have real wonderful men in our own lives thank you very much without desperately needing to supplant their image with some pin up fantasy and appreciate him without prejudice
Our own self worth and esteem is very valuable to us so we wont go gaga.
We don't like the extreme bias and nonsense emanating from certain corners. We don't like to be told to shut up and not criticize the show the actors the characters and such
We take pride in our bashing for it brought incredible changes in IPKKND that no positivity slogan chanters ever could achieve We are sensible bright level headed pragmatic viewers with our own bit of eccentricities and dislike for certain characters but never blatantly obvious unless universally accepted here as such
We are very democratic and do not hesitate to call a spade a spade

Lorraine was working again on Sunday but I had the shower to get on with so did that most of the day. Worked on the PC once that was done but refrained from gaming or watching the latest episodes of Heroes!!! Oh it was tempting.
Watched Motorcycle Diaries – yes we can get away with watching our Amazon Rentals – in the evening which was really good. Touching but amusing in its own way.

If you didn't get enough of Jesse James on Monster Garage, you'll soon get the chance to buy a piece of him. James' Payupsucker Productions is working with Circle King Networks to give life to El Jefe Entertainment, which promises authentic enthusiast and motorsports entertainment. But you may not be able to find this information on cable, as Ultimate Motorcycling reports that the content will be made for DVD, Pay Per View and mobile formats.
James is billing El Jefe Entertainment as "an opportunity for me to share with the fans the two things that I love so much, building and racing." The West Coast Chopper icon plans to create a series of how-to videos that teach others his tricks to modding most anything with a motor.
James still has some devout followers, but the past couple years in the media spotlight haven't been all that kind to him. The real question is if enough of those followers are willing to pay for the content they used to get for free on cable.

LANSING - Fans of country musician Toby Keith will have a new, favorite place to get their red Solo cups filled. Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill is coming to the Lansing area. The country music themed restaurant chain is coming to the grounds of the Lansing Mall. A statement sent by Rouse Properties, which owns Lansing Mall, says the bar and grill will move into a newly constructed location near Regal Cinemas. It says construction has already begun and the restaurant is expected to open in the fall.
The restaurant is named after Toby Keith's popular song "I Love This Bar," which was released in 2003.
The bar and grill will feature southern, home-cooked food. The bar itself will be 85-feet long and be in the shape of a guitar. It will also have two indoor "barns" available for private functions. There will be a stage to feature live music acts.

I was driving down Broadway and was behind a Fort Wayne Community Schools bus. As children poured out of the bus, so did wads of papers out of the windows from both sides. The driver just pulled off, continuing down Broadway to its next stop. As the bus was getting ready to turn onto Wildwood Avenue, a glass object was thrown and almost hit a passing vehicle. Did the bus driver not see what was going on? Are there any regulations if these kinds of things happen?
I called Fort Wayne Community Schools' student service line. The girl I spoke with said transportation was not answering calls. Isn't this the busiest time of the day for buses? So I began to tell her what I was witnessing. She cut me off, telling me she does not work in transportation so she could not help me. I called Fort Wayne police, who gladly took the information.
It sickens me that adults and parents are not teaching responsibility to children. It is also scary that the people running the school systems are not practicing or following through with the policies. Parents need to stop being lazy and actually teach their children the basics. Children learn by example. Be a good one. No, be a great one. These kids are our future and, quite frankly, that scares me.
