Web marketing is not always about getting clicks to your website: it can also be used to improve your brand awareness. As your website starts to appear in more searches, even if you are not getting many clicks you can be sure that your brand recognition is improving.
Another way that you can achieve this very effectively – and with very little investment – is through CPC.
If you don't like the thought of paying for advertising then don't go just yet! The technique I'm about to show you will not cost very much at all. Indeed, you could even carry out a successful campaign without spending a penny.
CPC for Brand Advertising
Firstly, here's a very quick overview of CPC (Cost Per Click) advertising. These are adverts which appear in response to certain conditions (for example, the keywords used in a web search or the subject of a webpage), and the advertiser only makes a payment when the advert is clicked on.
You will see them as the sponsored results listed at the top and down the side of a Google search results page, as well as within Facebook and on certain websites within advertising networks (the biggest of which is the Google network).
Wherever adverts appear, the advertiser has chosen specific keywords or demographics that they want to trigger their ads, and the aim is normally to attract as many qualified clicks as possible.
We are going to use the same technique, but turn it on its head. Instead of trying to attract clicks, we are going to use CPC for brand advertising. We want people to see our company name and become familiar with our brand whilst making their searches or surfing the web so that they can associate our name with something positive – all without us having to pay for it.
My Childhood Football Team
Let's use my childhood football team, Carlisle United, as an example.
People searching for Carlisle United online are not going to be looking for my company. They are more likely to be looking for information and news on their favourite football team.
However, I could easily write a quick advert to appear for these keywords in a Google search, so that when someone searches for 'Carlisle United' the first thing they see is a message of support from my company or a quick message congratulating them on a recent win.
There are no other competing ads, so there is a good chance that they will at least notice my ad.
The aim is to associate my brand with their football club, just like many larger companies are doing when they buy advertising space on the football pitch each week which might cost them thousands of pounds.
As long as no one clicks on my ads, I don't pay a thing. And even if I do attract some clicks, the sums involved are likely to be very small.
The Possibilities are Endless
This is just one example I threw together. You could use the same idea to support a charity like Oxfam, an important local event or campaign, or a national event like the Olympics.
Whatever you choose, try to focus on keywords which are slightly more specific so that your ads have fewer competitors (preferably none) and stand a better chance of being noticed.
Using the Display Network
As well as creating ads that target searches, you can use the same technique to make your ads appear on actual websites – often bypassing other expensive advertising options.
By creating a banner add for Google's Display Network, your advert can often turn up on large websites which charge hundreds of pounds or more for a standard advertising slot, meaning you can build brand awareness for free.
Facebook Options
You could also look into targeting users on Facebook. Going back to our example of Carlisle United, you could choose to target everyone on Facebook who is a supporter of the club, and then create an advert to show up on their profiles.
Again, this performs the same function of associating your brand with something positive for free, or at least very cheaply.
Cheap and Effective Marketing
This technique is cheap and very easy to set up. Have a think about possible events, clubs, teams, campaigns or charities you might like to use to build your brand awareness, then set up a campaign in Google or one of the other advertising networks.
Check to see if you are getting any clicks, and if you are receiving too many and spending more than you want to then you can simply change your keywords or stop the campaign completely and try something else.
However, if you receive no clicks then you have just found a very cheap way to carry out brand advertising for your company.

A Little Bit Country, a Little Bit Rock & Roll
Recently, after playing Sugarland's cool new song "Tonight," I mentioned how much I enjoyed their performance of that song on the recent Academy of Country Music Awards. And then I went on to say I wasn't sure why Rihanna later joined the duo's Jennifer Nettles for a performance of her big pop hit "California King Bed." It's a good song. And Rihanna is enjoying a stellar pop/r&b music career. More power to her. But it just all seemed so random.

Wonderful older mature women being well discipline, love it
This woman is absolutely fantastic - would be interesting to see her on the delivering end as is alluded to at the beginning of this segment
Excellent spanking of a naughty teacheer. I believe many female teachers, including some headmistresses are in need of a good dose of a cane on their bare bottoms.
Wish she was my teacher, shame the cane didn't appear until near the end of the clip :)
She has a fantastic figure and shows that age is no limit for a spanking. She really is one classy lady
Love it - the idea of a classy, professional lady having to bare her bottom for a good spanking and caning - very enticing

Georgetown University Hospital - What's it like?
- 0Feb 28, '10 by IGiveTheShotsHi everyone,
I'm just curious to know what its like to work at Georgetown University Hospital, aside from pay and benefits (although if you see fit, feel free to comment on those too). Do/did you enjoy the nurses you worked with, the doctors? What about the hours and conditions? What about the cafeteria (silly, I know, but valid!) I'm particularly interested in any information you have on the PICU, but would love to hear about all other areas as well. Thanks for your help!
- 0Mar 8, '10 by IGiveTheShotsI have been! And you?
- 0Mar 22, '10 by IGiveTheShotsThe application came out online sometime in October or November. I applied, took a Nursing Battery Test, had a short phone interview and was invited to New Grad Day. During NGD, I interviewed in the area I wanted to work and was offered a position.
- 0Mar 22, '10 by IGiveTheShotsYou know, I'm really not sure. I would guess its twice a year. I would try calling Nurse Recruitment. The number is on the GUH site. Good luck!
- 0Apr 21, '10 by boisern84Georgetown is notorious for hiring lots of new grads because the turnover rate is so high. I worked there three months and left and most of the other new grads that came in with me were out of there by the time they got their second bonus check. Of course everyone's experience is different but I couldn't help but present another view point.
- 0Sep 11, '10 by msteelman2question boisern84? or to any guh nurses...
so i have been offered a micu job at georgetown. i am coming from mn if i make the move. do you think it is worth it? the pay is different and i would be loosing about $4/hr to work in dc. life is certainly more expensive out there as well. given all of your experience...what do you think?

Wright-Phillips foils Cherries
Charlton striker Bradley Wright-Phillips denied Bournemouth a vital win in their bid for a place in the League One play-offs with a late equaliser in a 2-2 draw.The Addicks took the lead in the 27th minute through Scott Wagstaff, who made the most of a rebound after a shot from Frank Nouble had been blocked.Bournemouth equalised in the 30th minute when Marc Pugh headed in from close range after a misplaced back pass by Thierry Racon.The Cherries had numerous chances to end a run of three successive defeats but went ahead in the 58th minute with a deflected shot by Danny Hollands.But just when it looked as though Bournemouth would go on and win, the prolific Wright-Phillips shot home from the edge of the area.Bournemouth almost snatched a winner in five minutes added on for stoppages. Pugh hit the underside of the bar and Danny Ings had a shot blocked on the line by Jose Semedo at the death.

New York Fashion Week is soon upon us. Perfect timing for a new show in Brooklyn that takes its plot from the stars of the runway. The House of von Macrame is a new pop musical playing at The Bushwick Starr. This production by Brooklyn based the Management is a thriller about a slasher who targets models and an eccentric designer who may or may not be the culprit.
The show takes the cutthroat modeling scene to a whole new level!
When you think cutthroat, typically intense competition comes to mind. Well, think again. For The House of von Macrame the term is literal! You will see plenty of throat slashing gore created by special effects designer Waldo Warshaw. He is in charge of determining where the blood from the slashed victims comes from, how fast it spurts and how it splashes onto the props and costumes. Oh, and he also was in charge of selecting which stage blood to use for his effects . . .
Mehron - The Stage Blood of Choice for The House of von Macrame's Special EffectsAs noted in a recent New York Times Theater piece, "Mr. Warshaw buys blood from Mehron, a theatrical makeup company in Rockland County, N.Y., that keeps its pigmentation and weight even when diluted. . . . The key to convincing-looking blood is viscosity. Watered-down blood flies easily, but if it's too runny, it looks weakly atomized when airborn. Thick blood smears nicely across a face or wall." Thanks Mr. Warshaw for the wonderful testimonial!
Warshaw's Patented Stage Blood EffectsThe incredible stage blood effects in The House of von Macrame will be delivered using Warshaw's own patented system, which is a twist on how stage blood is typically released. Usually the actor creates blood spurting from a pellet inside a garment or hidden somewhere on the stage. In Warshaw's system, the blood is inside the actor's shirt, but it is activated by a remote control and strewn on the wall by the actor quickly turning at the same time - in essence the actor is the paintbrush. Mehron is excited to be part of this patented system!
Mehron offers several different blood products:
Stage Blood, available in 0.5, 1, 4.5, 9, and 16 ounce bottles as well as a gallon container. Because it is non-toxic it can be used in and around the mouth. It also washes off easily with soap and water.
Squirt Blood, available in 0.5, 2, and 9 ounce and gallon bottles. In veinous and arterial colors, this is a great product for gushing blood effects. Water based, it is easily removable from hair and costumes.
Blood Capsules, for use with Stage Blood, it is non-toxic, edible, and quickly dissolved.
Coagulated Blood Gel is used throughout the entertainment industry for its realistic look.

For a realistic big cat outfit, look no further than the Jaguar Morphsuit costume. With black spots on orange and white fur, this suit is incredibly accurate, down to the black paw pads and high quality printed jaguar face.
So what are Morphsuits? Morphsuits are a unisex all-in-one spandex suit that cover the whole of your body from head to toe. They have been specially designed so that you can breathe through them, see through them, drink through them (only water of course!), and even better nobody can see you.
If needed you can easily free your head by un-zipping and pulling the hood forward.

Jodorowsky's Dune
Opens Friday, April 18
1hr 30mins // directed by:Frank Pavich // featuring:Alejandro Jodorowsky, H.R. Giger, Nicolas Winding Refn, Michel Seydoux
This fascinating documentary explores the genesis of one of cinema's greatest epics that never was: cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's (El Topo) adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi classic Dune, whose cast would have included such icons as Salvador Dali, Orson Welles and Mick Jagger.
In 1975, following the runaway success of his art-house freak-outs El Topo and Holy Mountain, Alejandro Jodorowsky secured the rights to Frank Herbert's Dune - and began work on what was gearing up to be a cinematic game-changer, a sci-fi epic unlike anything the world had ever seen.
Jodorowsky enlisted an elite group of artistic mercenaries, including French comic book artist Moebius, who illustrated the storyboards; screenwriter Dan O'Bannon (Dark Star, Alien); artist H.R. Giger (Alien); and sci-fi paperback illustrator Chris Foss. For the cast, he lined up icons ranging from Salvador Dali and Mick Jagger to

What does the Bible say about gambling?
by Brad Huston
ed. Matt Slick
The Bible does not directly mention gambling for money. Neither does it provide an exhaustive list of forbidden behaviors in several areas. That is not the Bible's purpose. Its purpose is to draw people to God. Anyone who finds himself asking, "Is it okay to ..." ought to first question his motives, especially since the Bible says "...whatever is not from faith is sin," (Romans 14:23).
Gambling is leaving to chance what you should trust to our Lord. Christians should trust in the providence of God and not in "chance" to provide for them. This is why gambling cannot be endorsed biblically.
Matthew 6:19-21 says "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Why do you want to gamble? To provide for your needs? Jesus continues, saying "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well," (Matthew 6:33). Gambling can, at times, betray a lack of trust in God, that he will provide. Or is it merely that you want more money for the pursuit of pleasure? Ecclesiastes 5:10 observes that "Whoever loves money never has money enough." But he who loves God first receives what he truly wishes, joy (Psalm 37:4) which outlasts fleeting pleasures, the treasures which Jesus warned us about storing. In the end, one must ask himself, who am I serving, God or money (Matthew 6:24)? We cannot serve both.
Whoever asks this question must decide for himself if he can have a pure motive for gambling, for spending money on toys, vacations or movies, and even for helping the homeless. Even good actions can have bad motives. The human heart is horribly deceptive (Jeremiah 17:9). Because of this, if we truly face ourselves we must admit that it is difficult for us to do nearly anything purely for the love of God. That is why we need grace. For our attempts to do good always come up short but God's grace never does (Romans 3:20-24). Christianity, after all, is not a set of rules, but a love relationship with our grace-giving Father.

So today is a month and a day since the announcement that Disney is buying Lucasfilm and making Episode VII. It's been… A month. Don't get me wrong: It's been a great month, an occasionally frustrating but revitalizing month. A month to reevaluate. Continue reading
Tag Archives: disney buys lucasfilm
Disney's Alan Horn on Lucasfilm, Episode VII
Vulture caught up with Disney chairman Alan Horn last night and, naturally, asked him about Lucasfilm and Star Wars. He revealed how many people knew about Episode VII: "A very small group," He dodged the Matthew Vaughn rumor, though he did say we should hear it "soon" and that the announcement has to come from Kathleen Kennedy.
"We take very seriously the obligation to make a very good movie," he told Vulture. "Kathy is a very experienced producer; George Lucas is the godfather of that franchise and very, very involved on a consulting basis, so we feel very confident."
Episode VII roundup: Kennedy in, McCallum out
Behind the scenes. IGN's Lucy O'Brien has a nice profile of Kathleen Kennedy, "Star Wars' new Emperor," and her film-making resume.
Meanwhile, shuffling up into the spotlight is the news that Rick McCallum has retired from Lucasfilm. The big question seems to be where this leaves the live-action series, which McCallum has been the main ambassador for and which hasn't been much mentioned since D-Day. Honestly, given what's been said of it so far, it's one project that I don't really mind staying on the back burner for a while longer.
Outside looking in. Scott Myers looks at some of the recent information and surmises that Disney may be taking the Pixar approach to Star Wars story development.
Actors. The real question is who doesn't want in on Star Wars, but thus far we've heard from Derek Jacobi, David Tennant, plus Thor's Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston.
Roundup: Entertainment Weekly gives Star Wars the cover
Media. The cover of this week's new issue of Entertainment Weekly is – surprise! – devoted to Star Wars. This means that anyone who hasn't already heard about Episode VII will see it at the grocery story and pester us about it! Hooray!
Screenwriting. Curious about Michael Arndt? Scott Myers at Go into the Story has devoted a series of posts to his comments on screenwriting. (via)
Directors. We already figured this from his comments last week, but J.J. Abrams has out and out denied that he's up for Episode VII. Please save all your lens flare jokes for Star Trek into Darkness.
Your moment of bwah. With the new (last?!?) Twilight movie encroaching, of course someone asked Robert Pattinson if he'd like to be in Star Wars. His answer? "Oh, absolutely. In a heartbeat." Love or hate him, consider yourself warned. (via)
Video: 1920's Disney Star Wars intro
Because things are beyond slow today, here's a mashup. (via)
Roundup: J.J. Abrams and Jon Favreau excited for Episode VII – Quentin Tarantino, not so much
Directors. Hollywood Life talks to Star Trek's J.J. Abrams and Iron Man's Jon Favreau about Episode VII. "I am looking forward more then anyone to the next iterations of Star Wars, but I believe I will be going as a paying moviegoer," Abrams said.
"I am just giddy, first and foremost as a fan, to see what happens with it. I think there is a lot of question marks of how they are going to do it, and who they are going to do it with, and what the story is going to be about; but to say that I am not excited about it is definitely an understatement. We'll see," Favreau said. (Lest we forget, Favreau voiced a character on The Clone Wars back in 2010.)
On the other side of the spectrum, Quentin Tarantino said the other day that he couldn't care less about Star Wars and isn't interested in the job. But then, did anyone actually expect he would be?
History. Huffpo's Mike Ryan takes a look at the Making of books and interviews to document Harrison Ford's history with Han Solo, and all the comments he's made about the character over the years.
Release date. ComicBook.com's Scott Johnson and his sources theorize that Disney could make Episode VII the first Star Wars movie not come out in May, since Avengers 2 is currently slated for May 1, 2015. I am beyond skeptical.
Hasbro and Disney. MSN Money takes a detailed look at the rumor that Disney is in talks to buy the toymaker, while CNBC analyst David Faber said that Hasbro is denying it.
On a lark… Entertainment Weekly takes inspiration from other franchises.
Dave Filoni, Ashley Eckstein in the mood for Disney
Clone Wars heavy-hitters Dave Filoni and Ashley Eckstein both have blog entries about Disney and Star Wars on the official site today.
Filoni writes about his history with Disney – he worked on Kim Possible, among others – Star WArs Weekends, and
When Revenge of the Sith was over, I found myself in the incredible position of carrying the torch forward. Now I can see the incredibly bright light that is the future of Star Wars. For those of you who are fans of The Clone Wars, do not worry. We have many stories left to tell, and every one of them came directly from George himself. Right down to the last one, where that thing with Ahsoka happens…
As the daughter of a Disney "cast member," Ashley Eckstein has never made a secret of her Disney love, and she writes at length about the effects of "being immersed in the Disney culture at such a young age."
I wanted to work for Disney SO badly that I turned in my application on my 16th birthday. After several auditions, I finally got my big break and I was cast as a cheerleader in the Hercules Parade. I got to dance down Hollywood Blvd. Thanks to Disney, I was able to perform in front of thousands of people on the weekends and it made my dream, again, feel tangible.
It's the circle of life, and it moves us all: Last week's best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets
Shockingly, Disney buying Lucasfilm continued to dominate Twitter. Get your share of the snark now. Continue reading
Rumor: Disney looking into buying Hasbro?
Anti-trust lawyers must be wringing their hands with glee at this one: MTV Geek is saying that after acquiring Lucasfilm (pending approval) Disney will be turning to Hasbro. Or rather, that they're having "discussions."
Buying Hasbro would give Disney the rights to Transformers, G.I. Joe, Dungeons and Dragons, and My Little Pony, among others. And by folding in the toys, they'd be getting a bigger share of the Star Wars pie as well.
Let's review: What do we really know about Star Wars VII-IX?
Tomorrow it'll be a full week since the biggest Star Wars news since the mid-90's dropped: Not only Disney buying Lucasfilm, but that they'd be making a new trilogy – the sequel trilogy and perhaps beyond.
And amid all the rumors and fan hopes? There's not really all that much info that's actually solid. So in order to help stem at least a little confusion, I've created a page to keep track of what we actually know about Episodes VII-IX so far. It'll be updated as we get further information.

BROUSSARD -- Accommodations specialist, HB Rentals, a Superior Energy Services company, installed 14 A60 – ABS/USCG approved buildings on an ABS-classed offshore construction vessel and provided fifteen buildings to a Lloyd's-classed multipurpose platform supply vessel. Both vessels are located in Mexico, announced HB Rentals Senior Vice President of Global Operations Glenn Aguilar.
The temporary building packages include the provision of sleeper units, diners, laundry rooms and locker facilities. The installation of accessories including stairs and platforms were necessary as the buildings were stacked three levels high.
"The significance of the 14-building contract comes from the difficulty regarding required clearance for the vessel's crane," said Aguilar. "Because space on one of the vessels was extremely limited, the quarters were installed in three different locations. Two of the buildings supplied were HB Rentals' newly designed five-man sleeper units."

Crixus' inarticulateness concerning his feelings towards Kazarah threatens to drive her into the arms of Cayman, a dashing immigrant Jamaican boxer, who is younger and more prosperous. Cayman is on the eve of challenging John the Hurricane Blaine to a bare knuckle boxing match. The Hurricane is an ex-confederate soldier who has sworn to retrace the paths of famous battles of the Civil War fighting against opponents at the battle sites themselves. The projected fight between Cayman and the Hurricane is delayed enabling Cayman to challenge Crixus to a match.

Truck speed limits on non-interstate highways in Illinois increased Jan. 1.
Big rig speeds on various four-lane roads will rise to 65 mph from 55 mph on more rural roads outside of Chicago, matching the passenger car speed limit.
Truckers are advised to hold off on increasing speeds until road signs have been changed, the Illinois Department of Transportation said.

Dear All,
I am working on plasma miRNAs. I'm trying to isolate miRNA from plasma with Qiagen miRNeasy Mini Kit. I usually got ~10-20ng/mkl (Nanodrop), but the 260/230 ratio is awful (0,15-0,4) and 260/280 is also around 1,5-1,6. It seems to be, that the contamination is phenol (Trizol). For qRT-PCR it is okey, working really nice, but I afraid, for microarray it is too contaminated.
Anybody know how can I clean my samples (to get rid of phenol)? Anybody tried it?
Thanks a lot!

It's GuSCN that causes the super low 260/230, because even trace amount of GuSCN has stronge absorption at 230. But it would not likely affect your downstream applications, including microarray.

Hiking the Twin Falls Trail
The weather in the Pacific Northwest has been glorious these last few weeks. We had a few weeks of unseasonably gorgeous June days followed by about a week of cool, rainy, and windy – more typical for that time of year, they tell me. (One woman said to me in the elevator, "What happened to our 'Junuary'?") But over the weekend and yesterday, temperatures rose into the 90s. Granted, there's hardly any humidity here when it's that hot so it's not like a 90 degree day in the swamp of St. Louis at all. But we are talking about an area where most of the housing built before the 90s – and a lot built since – doesn't have air conditioning. At all – not even window units. Many restaurants and shops either don't have it, or won't turn it on. Smart people flee to shady or breezy locations.
Sunday was supposed to be ninety, and we had planned on hiking in the Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. They have a boardwalk trail out into a marsh that is supposed to be great for viewing all kinds of wildlife – birds and sea creatures alike. We chose it because it was near two other objectives: Cabela's 4th of July sale, and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, which boasts a bridge made of Chihuly glass.
Alas, it was not to be. When I saw the forecast I revised and we headed east past Tiger Mountain to the Snoqualmie area instead. There, in the Twin Falls Natural Area, lies the (appropriately-named) Twin Falls Trail. A nearly one-mile hike along a relatively level trail that follows the riverbank of the South Fork Snoqualmie River to the bottom of a series of switchbacks. Climb the switchbacks and you reach a viewpoint overlooking not one but two waterfalls of some good size. Better yet, an additional mile – up steeper terrain – takes you out onto a wooden bridge that spans the gorge just over the top of the upper falls, which is really a series of cascades through the narrow stone throat of the chasm. The WTA calls the switchbacks "gentle" but there were a lot of people who looked like they disagreed with that assessment in several places. The trail guide says that you only gain 500 feet of elevation, but you do it at least twice on each leg of the hike, so that description is pretty deceptive. Still, all of the uphills have steep sections interspersed with wider, level spots to stand and catch a breather. The trail is completely shaded by towering trees and softly carpeted with evergreen needles – though only a few old growth – and the river is accessible in several places along the first mile of the trail. I think that fact contributed greatly to the number of people gathered there on Sunday. The trail was packed for the first mile, but many families and groups with older people turned back at that point – or stopped to splash around at the ice-cold river's edge. Once the climb started, the hikers were more sparse but the trail was still more crowded than I prefer. I'd like to go back in the spring, before Memorial Day and when the river is still rushing full of the snow runoff.
My sister is not much of a hiker, and I am not in the best shape of my life, so we were both pleased and proud to reach our destination and savor our lunch of beef jerky, bananas, nuts, and Gatorade from our spectacular vantage point on the bridge, where the rushing water drowned out every other sound. We were even more pleased to summit the last major slope on the way back to the trailhead and rest up on the bench overlooking the falls, knowing that we would be down in the water in only minutes.
There is very little in my life that has felt as good as that ice-cold rushing mountain river when I finally prised off my hiking boots and thick, cushioned socks and stepped with bare feet into freezing water just above my ankles. Even better was when I found a rock about a foot offshore, big enough to sit on, and was able to untie my sweat-soaked handkerchief I'd used as a headband, rinse it out, and wash my sweaty, dusty skin until I was as cool as if I were sitting in air conditioning. We splashed and basked in the water for at least half an hour before making the final trek out to the trailhead, past the (capacity) parking lot, and down the road to where we'd left the car.
On the way home we stopped at a roadside cherry stand and bought two pounds – one Rainier, and one bing. We drove home with the windows down, spitting cherry pits like machine gun fire, worn out and perfectly content.
