In response to 12-Angry-Men's comment:
In response to GreginMeffa's comment:"What I've said to them is that I believe that God created the universe and that the six days in the Bible may not be six days as we understand it ⦠it may not be 24-hour days, and that's what I believe. " - POTUS No prob with that. But when a republican says the same thing, its "he is a f**king idiot who actually believes in a magic invisible man who created radio-carbon dating just to fool us" Perfectly sensible to some
Hey numbnuts, reading is fundamental and talking out your rectum is just plain stupid.
"...this is a country where people should have the opportunity to teach them all."
Is not only a violation of the Constitution but also anti-American.
Hey numbnuts, Obama says he believes in the bible that the world was created in 6 days! He says those days may not have been 24 hour days but, that's what he believes!!
Rubio and many others think the same thing and are ridiculed for it but, when it's Obama or any other person of the lefts political persuasion......crickets!!

Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) has acquired a new Airbus A320 full flight simulator (FFS) from Sim Industries.
The simulator will be based at OAA's Stockholm Training Facility at Arlanda Airport, Sweden.
It features an RSI Raster XT visual image generator with LCoS projectors, said OAA in a statement.
The device, which is due to be delivered in March, will be qualified to JAR FSTD A level D and fully operational by mid-May.
The first customers to benefit from the arrival of the new simulator will be SAS and Thomas Cook as well as Russian carrier Rossiya Airlines, added OAA.
The new A320 simulator is the first of two due to be delivered to OAA by Sim Industries in 2012. The second device, a Boeing 737NG FFS, will be based at OAA's Oslo Training Centre and is expected to be ready for training in September in support of long-term OAA group customer Norwegian.

This article describes the special connection methods used seal or close the ridge, hip, and rake sections of clay tile roofs.

Eaves, Hip, & Rake Installation Details for Tile Roofs
This article series discusses best practices in the selection and installation of residential roofing. Also see our home page for clay tile roofing, starting at CLAY TILE ROOFING. Adapted/paraphrased with permission from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, chapter on BEST ROOFING PRACTICES:
A number of specialized flashings, tiles, and fittings simplify modern roofing tile installations.
At left our photo shows special ridge tiles on a home in New York state, including one broken tile that needs replacement. In this location leakage was minimal.
Key details for interlocking flat and profile roofing tiles are shown in Figure 2-26 and Figure 2-27 just below, illustrating both curved (below left) and flat (below right) clay (or concrete) roof tile installation fittings that help seal against the weather. [Click any image to see an enlarged, detailed vesion.'
[Click to enlarge any image]
Eaves Closure Requirements on Tile Roofs
Both profile and flat clay roof tiles need special treatment at the eaves to raise the bottom edge of the first tile to the correct height and to close off any openings to birds and insects.
For profile tiles, many tile roofing contractors use a metal birdstop, a preformed L-shaped strip with the vertical leg cut to match the underside of the first tile and fit snugly between the weather checks (see Figure 2-28 at left).
With some high-profile clay or concrete roofing tiles, a special eaves-closure tile achieves the same effect as shown in Figure 2-26 above. [Click any of our images or tables to see an enlarged view.]
With flat clay roofing tiles, the first course may be raised with a special starter tile, as shown at left in Figure 2-27, or by a metal eaves closure, raised fascia, or wood cant strip.
With a cant strip or raised fascia, a beveled wood or foam antiponding strip is required to prevent ponding of water along the eaves (Figure 2-29 below).
Ridge and Hip Requirements on Tile Roofs
Unless hip and ridge tiles on a clay tile roof are going to be set into a continuous bed of mortar, special nailers are required to install them.
The hip and ridge boards are typically 2x3s to 2x6s set on edge to hold the trim tiles in an even plane. They are toenailed in place and individually wrapped with felt (Figure 2-30 shown at left).
Hip and ridge tiles are later nailed on with a 2-inch head-lap, and the lower ends are sealed at the overlap with roofing cement or an approved tile adhesive.
Finally, mortar, special trim tiles, or other weatherblocking is applied to fill in gaps between the ridge and hip tiles and the field tile.
Rake Requirements on Tile Roofs
Rakes on clay tile roofs may be finished with detached gable-rake tiles (as shown in Figures 2-26 and Figure 2-27 shown just above, or with highprofile tiles, trimmed simply with half-round trim tiles as shown in Figure 2-31 shown at left.

There's something in the chilly air that speaks well for underdogs (and no, we're not talking only about the "Eli for President" chants that are set to echo around the Meadowlands).
For the fourth straight Monday, we feel safe calling this the biggest week in Sen. Barack Obama's political existence. It's a measure of the man and the race that we don't know which Barack Obama we'll see (but we'll see him in earnest Monday night in Myrtle Beach -- it must be Monday if it's time for another debate).
Now that South Carolina's on his mind, will we see Boston Barack -- the soaring orator he's capable of being, or Boring Barack -- the flat speechifier who falls too quickly into lofty slogans and meandering Senate-ese? Will he be a comfortable, accessible, smooth presence, or will he stop taking questions in an over-abundance of caution?
In short -- will he be on offense or defense? We'll know part of the answer on Monday, and the early indication is . . . a little of both. This is defense as offense, going straight at a Democratic icon, in an interview with ABC's Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America":
"The former president, who I think all of us have a lot of regard for, has taken his advocacy on behalf of his wife to a level that I think is pretty troubling," said Obama, D-Ill. "He continues to make statements that are not supported by the facts. . . . This has become a habit, and one of the things that we're gonna have to do is to directly confront Bill Clinton when he's making statements that are not factually accurate."
Specifically referring to the way Clinton characterized his comments on Ronald Reagan -- the former president paraphrased Obama as saying "Republicans have had all the good ideas" -- Obama responded: "He was making it up and completely mischaracterizing my statement." And (wasn't John Edwards crushed by the end of this sentence?): "We've got a formidable opponent -- actually, two formidable opponents at this point, between Senator Clinton and, and President Clinton."
In calling for "honesty and candor" in the race, does Obama revive maybe a memory or two of a scandal that broke 10 years ago Monday, where President Clinton and honesty seemed to part ways?
Obama's playbook from the last round didn't work; after Iowa, even while he picked up traditional, tactical victories -- endorsements by unions and senators and governors -- he was losing the message game. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., and her skilled team of surrogates kept him off-balance, and he arrives in South Carolina riding a losing streak.
Camp Clinton says that the former president is a "huge asset," and they plan to continue to -- accurately -- speak about Obama's record. Says spokesman Howard Wolfson (and notice the reappearance of the W word): "We understand Senator Obama is frustrated by his loss in Nevada, but facts are facts. . . . Of course Senator Clinton and Senator Obama are the candidates on the ballot, and she is winning because she is giving voice to the Americans who will provide real solutions to the challenges they face in the daily lives."
But there's a new backdrop for these next six days: race. Nothing that happens in the Democratic race in South Carolina will stray far from that issue and its many themes in a state where half or more Democratic primary voters are expected to be black.

Rated 3.6 out of 5 by 376 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by zigk Accounting error Booked this for an employee with a PRE-PAID rate. When my employee checked-out, their card was charged for the full amount + a mysterious extra $50+ over what the total room charge should have been (they had no incidentals). Wasting my time with numerous phone calls & emails to hopefully resolve (not resolved yet). Put me & my employee in an awkward position due to hotel staff incompetence. November 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Angusthedog Disappointment I booked this hotel using my SPG points. At the time of reservation I booked a two bedroom and even selected a higher level room size so we'd have more room. However, when we arrived we were told they didn't have the room I'd booked available even though I'd booked well in advance. We ended up with a king bed and a roll-away. Very disappointing. Wish I'd booked at a different hotel. November 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jlh1985 Experiences This is a great place to stay, with a perfect location in Downtown Denver. November 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Kathy1022 Awful Staff/service All three room reservations were incorrect - even though I called multiple times to review and confirm. Was only given breakfast coupons as compensation. Staff was incompetent and uncooperative. I would never stay at this hotel again nor would I recommend it to anyone for business or pleasure. October 29, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by ChrisK123 Good hotel for a conference. Some issues noted Sound system for speakers was poor. Waffles were terrible. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good location within downtown area. The Palms Restaurant was excellent in the hotel. The Bar was not very appealing although the staff was excellent. October 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by celi508 great staff when i went to stay there for one night i went to checking in, there was a wonderful lady that took care of me,i was nervous and tired and she was very friendly and even help me with my bags to my room. God bless her. October 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tequillabeau GREAT HOTEL AND STAFF Hotel was great and staff was excellent. Very nice rooms and very clean. October 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PegG Friendly hotel All of the hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. They all seemed to enjoy their jobs. Might be too pricey for young families judging on prices in restaurants at the hotel. October 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by muppet13 Room was blah While the hotel was great, we had minor room issues 1) bathroom sink was slow to drain 2) door exterior very scuffed up 3) toilet seat was scratched 4) drapes had paint splatters on them 5) glass desktops were dusty 6) no plastic bags for dirty laundry in closet 7) no mini fridge to put water bottles in (ice bucket only fit one bottle) 8) no outlets near bed One more thing, can't stand those Westin leaf soaps! Please give us regular rectangle soaps! October 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by WillFife Disappointment with booking I was disappointed by the booking services. As a member, I tried to book directly but no rooms were available. I went through a third party and there were rooms available for the three nights I needed. As a result, I did not get any points credited. Program is disappointing. How can anyone ever earn the points!!!! October 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by glennmnc elegant, not glamorous Like other Westin hotels I have visited, this Westin offers 5* room comfort, but lacks the amenities of other hotel lines that offer similar room quality. Minimalist lobby, limited dining options ($$$$ Palm or $ Starbucks kiosk), nice looking fitness center with limited access (could not get in Sunday at 0530 for a workout before work meetings). For a hectic weekend of work meetings outside the hotel, other than a 5* comfortable room, it did not serve my minimal needs of 24 hour fitness access and a mid-range resturaunt for dinner. October 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CD50 Excellent Service I have stayed at the Westin in Denver several times over the years. The service is always excellent, clean rooms, terric workout facility and the location can't be beat. October 3, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by vic123 Never Again @ The Westin Simply put the worst Hotel in my 16 years of traveling. The room wasn't ready we requested early check in .. 4:30pm. We had to just take a room. A/C couldn't get below 70. A number of other things .. but i'm done with the Westin September 30, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by tgcc stay away bad experience; had to walk through groups of homeless people just to get into the hotel; homeless people were in the ll level;escalator not working the whole weekend; one elevator not working properly; awful toilet layout--it was installed up against the side wall -- how ridiculous September 30, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by PaulB1 I promised to myself I would never come to this hotel again last time Appalling checkin No platinum recognition No platinum upgrade Mountain view title to room stretching truth NOBODY answers GUEST SERViCE line Don't use Bell men 20 minutes delay no one answers any line when you want to know what's going on This is my first 1.5hours experience Never coming here again September 29, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Discriminant7 Compliance Administrator The overall aesthetics of the hotel was fine, but the room was not satisfactory. The air conditioner was loud, the bathroom was not very clean, the commode had dried urine around the back of the seat top and the counter was very dusty. The floor was not cleaned well, which had hair on the floor and in the corners of the flooring. September 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by nutmegmama Location Can't Be Beat My husband and I are loyal to the Starwood properties and are big fans of the Westin hotels. We chose this location because of it's close proximity to Coors Field and we were within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. We would definitely stay here again if we were in town for a game. September 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Timeoff Water shut off It is unacceptable for the water to be shut off for 12 hours. Staff indicated that the repairs took longer than anticipated, but why would i stay at a hotel without toilet or shower use? September 18, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by thecarshop No water Hotel did not have water for 12 hours. No compensation or explanation. Very poor. September 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pakelekia We were treated so well! Our check in was smooth and though the room was not ready, Tony, the front desk fellow, was gracious, treated us to complimentary drinks while we waited and even had a treat sent up to our room once we were settled. The upgraded suite was spacious and comfortable, and housekeeping kept things very clean and well equipped. Breakfast service was superb, as well as the bar staff. Only negative was not cool enough in the middle of the night (a common problem with most hotels). All-in-all, a great hotel with attentive staff! We will be back! September 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by tpandkp Great! Love the Westin, plus they are pet friendly!!!! September 16, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bryan11 Westin Denver Downtown A Great place to stay if you want to attend a Bronco game. Concierge recommended a limo co. that took us to/from the stadium at a very reasonable price. Staff was very friendly. Rooms immaculate. September 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Brian999999999 the hotel was terrible this time I have stayed at this hotel a great number of times and normally it's great. This time however, was TERRIBLE. I was upgraded to a suite which consisted of two adjoining rooms. I requested a late checkout of 4pm. I got a 4 am wake up call that I didn't request! Starting at 9 am the cleaning people started pounding on the door. After yelling from my bed to the cleaning person who was already keying in to please come back later, she keyed into the other room not knowing they're the same room! They kept coming back on the hour preventing me from getting any work done and thus negating the "win" of a late check out. I finally gave up and left the hotel at noon to go to a coffee shop down the street to get some work done. September 6, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 Expected More Well, there is the lady with the bull horn that interrupted both Friday and Saturday nights. I had to have the TV so loud to cover her up I had a headache. I was flabbergasted that the only resolution was for me to file a police report. Unbelievable. I was comped Friday nights room service which was good because the sirlion steak was a quarter inch thick and just nasty, I ate two bites and really the huge mound of fries to fill me up?? The apple pie was good though. I tried the food again on Sunday and was disappointed that the "roasted turkey" was pressed lunch meat...yuck. Then no one to help with my bags when I checked out.So really mixed feelings. Also I would suggest that you go into a room as a guest and see if the messaging of your services is really what you want it to be....I don't think so. September 4, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Dfletch Our stay When we first arrived to our room there was feces in our toilet that looked to be there for a few days. Needless to say we did switch rooms. Very disapointed that this hotel hasn't been updated since my last visit over five years ago. We did enjoy the friendly staff and enjoyed Starbucks being in the lobby. September 4, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Marsupial128 Disappointing return stay Sad to say our anniversary stay was disappointing. The room seemed cleaned quickly and those little Westin touches were overlooked? Pillows not very heavenly, lumpy and no others were ever delivered. The bath towels were disheveled, not placed in the normal orderly fashion. Missing glassware (toasting in Starbucks cups). The tub spout was loose, so the heavenly shower was not in full force. Didn't seem like the shower was clean, or maybe in need of a remodel to the bath? Just bummed, have stayed here several times and been so pleased, think some rooms need updating, hard to see paying that 4 star price at this time for this hotel. September 3, 2013

Americanino Jeans F/W 2012 Women's Lookbook
Founded in Italy (Bologna) in 1975, Americanino ( means little America) is the creation of Gege Schiena (of MET in Jeans).
Gege is part of the group of top Italian icons like Renzo Rosso (Diesel) and Adriano Goldschmied (ex Diesel and now Goldsign and Citizens). Feminine and wearable jeans, I like the way this lookbook shows us different ways of combining denim tops with skirts and pants.

Bottom line is that, they know that I am a very loving, responsible man and father of 2. I'm looking for someone who loves to laugh, yet loves challenges. I love science and aviation. I love dining out, going to theatre karaoke, comedy club, etc. I also enjoy cooking meals at home. I only have my friends to taste test my food. Coming from Texas, I love cooking BBQ. I love it so much, you can see me smokin' brisket when there's snow on the ground. On the same token, I love making Italian dishes. I'm just an all around individual. I love tackling challenging tasks. I got rid of my inline skates and racquetball equipment, because I love hiking at the parks here. I want a relationship where we can share each others' interests, hobbies and share new adventures. In summary, I love doing it all and doing it all to make someone feel appreciated.

Ronnie O'Sullivan: Masters champ may be the best ever, says Neal Foulds
Five-time Masters champion Ronnie O'Sullivan may be the best snooker player ever, says Neal Foulds.
By Neal Foulds
Last Updated: 23/01/14 9:55am
Throughout the tournament he was extremely impressive and never more so than in his 6-0 demolition of Ricky Walden.
O'Sullivan racked up a record 556 unanswered points during that quarter-final meeting and I don't think he's ever played better than that. Performances such as that one come along once in a blue moon. It was as close to perfection as you can get.
Five or six years ago, when Ronnie was playing all year round, he was getting tired and stale quickly. Now he picks and chooses the tournaments he plays in and doesn't worry about his ranking.
As a result he's a better player now than he's ever been - and, clearly, the Christmas break has paid dividends here.
It took Ronnie a long time to win his first world title and up until that success in 2001 people were talking about him being an underachiever. Given his amazing talent, that may have been a fair accusation.
However, now he's got five world titles, five Masters, four UK Championships plus many more victories, you can no longer label him an underachiever.
In fact, people who would never put Ronnie in the same category as Stephen Hendry and Steve Davis for sheer weight of silverware, all of a sudden, might have to think again. Not only has he won five world titles in the modern era with better players all around, but he's doing it in such a stylish way.
He's possibly the best player we've ever seen.
I can't remember Davis or Hendry playing snooker like this; they dominated the game but there's just something in the way Ronnie plays which makes him special. Most players can only dream of playing the way he does.
I first played him in a pro-am when he was 12. He's now approaching 40 and giving everyone a lesson in how to play the game.
Yes, he has his quirks - before Christmas he played in the German Masters as though he had forgotten he was allowed to play safety shots - but if he's not THE best ever to pick up a cue he's certainly up there in the top two or three. There's no doubt about that now.
And you can see the impact of that in the performances of some of his opponents; he has the sign over a lot of these guys now.
We've seen in the past that Hendry and Davis had their opponents beaten before the match started a lot of the time and Ronnie certainly has some rivals in that category.
Neil Robertson and Mark Selby, meanwhile, know now they will have to up their games if they want to deny Ronnie a third-straight world title in the spring.
Robertson was desperately disappointed to have crashed out in the quarter-finals. He couldn't find any reason why he played that way because he was knocking in centuries the week before but just didn't perform at Alexandra Palace. He just has to put it down to 'one of those weeks'.
Selby, on the other hand, after having a moderate season leading up to the UK Championship, where he got to the final, looked like he was playing quite well before losing in the final to Ronnie in the way he did.
That's going to set him back a bit and he's going to have to re-group before the season's climax in Sheffield.
These guys play an awful lot of snooker and they can't keep turning up and playing at the top of their game all the time so they have to work out a way of being at their best for the big ones.
And that will be especially true at the World Championship, where we can expect to see a refreshed and relaxed Ronnie ready to add more silverware to his trophy cabinet.

I don't have a large format but I do have a torn ligament in one of my shoulders that limits how much I can carry. I've been looking at Pet Strollers, they have frames similar to Baby Strollers run less money and most of the pet baskets are easily removable. eBay has the best prices that I've found so far.
Right now I'm torn between this basket on top version, it would be nice to have a handy place to drop notes, lenses, filters etc.... http://tinyurl.com/69hrs9

How to make your website load faster without spending a dime?
It is very important to ensure that your website runs at optimum speed. One second of delay can make many people who wanted to visit your website, or those who wanted to view a page on your website to go away. If you don't want to lose your traffic because of a slow website, you have to do everything in your power to ensure that your site runs at optimum speed. Fortunately, there are multiple things that you can do to improve the speed of your site significantly. You don't have to spend money to make your website run faster. The simple things that you should do include;
- Choose a theme that loads fast.
Your theme determines how fast your site is going to load. That is why it is very important to choose a light theme with minimum images and other forms of media. A theme that has many images will take longer to load than a theme that has few or no images. Images are pleasing to the eyes of the users of your site. However, you should keep in mind the fact that if your site loads slowly, the people intending to visit it may not wait long enough to see the images. That is why speed is so much important than looks.
- Use paging and show only a little content on your homepage.
You don't have to put everything on your home page. If you want your landing page to load faster, minimize the content that put in it. Remember, the more content your landing page has, the less the speed at which it is going to load. The home page is meant to take people to other important pages on your site. That is why you should make sure that the people coming to your homepage get the some of the information are looking for they as well as find well organized links that they can use to navigate the your site to view more of your content.
- Make use of cache plugin if you are using WordPress.
Caching makes the elements of the pages that someone has already visited to be stored in the browser. This prevents the elements from being loaded afresh when someone visits the site again. This will significantly reduce the speed of loading the pages of your website that a given user had visited already. The less HTTP requests a site sends to the server, the faster it is going to load. To enable caching on WordPress, all you have to do is install the cache plugin and enable it.
- Compress your images.
Most websites are slowed down by images. By compressing your images, you will make your site load faster because it will take a shorter time for the images to be displayed. Compression can speed up your website by up to 70%. Compression will not destroy the quality of your images id done correctly. If you are using WordPress, there are many plugins that you can use to compress the images that you want to publish on site.
- Use CSS.
CSS holds the style of the pages on your website. There are two ways that you can use CSS to modify the look of the pages on your website. You can use inline CSS or an external file. Inline CSS is where the CSS is inserted in the HTML. External CSS is loaded in the header section of your site. Using an external file will make your website load faster because there is fewer code duplication and also help to reduce the side of your code. You should also set up only one CSS style sheet to decrease the number of HTTP request sent by your site.
- Use a mobile friendly theme for mobile users.
You are going to lose a lot of traffic when your site loads slowly on mobile devices. You cannot ignore the number of people that surf the web on their smartphones every day. That is why you have to ensure that you have a theme that is mobile friendly. You have to ensure that theme you are using loads as fast as possible on mobile devices. Today, search engines favor websites that are mobile friendly. Therefore, by ensuring that your site loads fast on mobile devices, you will also be improving your rank on the search engines.
How to generate quality traffic via Google Adwords advertising?
When it comes to Internet marketing, there are tonnes of advertising platforms that are available for streamlining internet traffic. However, one of the best tools in the trade at this moment is the Google Adwords Advertising platform as it is most effective mediums for generating quality traffic. In this article we take a look at the use of Google Adwords in increasing the traffic to one's website or blog.
The first step towards optimising the ad campaign is to decide where to run the campaign itself. Since Google Adwords is a large and versatile platform, one should be sure of where to run it so as to generate the maximum leads. In order to do this, the best approach is to use a mix keyword based campaigns that can target the audience effectively. The keyword targeted Google Adwords features are as follows:
- Google Search Network: The reason for sticking to this platform is that it is keyword intensive. As anyone running an ad campaign will be aware, search engine optimisation is one of the key factors resulting in greater viewership and this is exactly what Google Search Network addresses. When one advertises on Google Search Network, it allows for their ad to feature when the user types in the keyword. This is a significant step towards increasing online traffic.
- Google Display Network: The principle reason behind using Google Display Network for generating internet traffic is that it allows for something called contextual targeting. This is a feature by means whereof the network can direct your ad to specific web pages that are thematically linked to the content of the ad. What this does is that it increases connection with the consumers and allows for an overall increase in viewership.
- Search Partners: In keeping with the idea of increasing connectivity, Google Adwords offers an option by means of which you can ensure that your ad appears on search sites other than Google. This is the best way to generate leads and allows for the streamlining of high-quality internet traffic.
There are a number of features that one could use in order to increase the internet traffic. These are:
- Ad Formats: Using text ads with visual graphics, rich media and formats are one of the best ways in which to generate online traffic that can beneficially affect the popularity of your ad. Since this method allows one to deliver the message in ways that go over and above the plain text, it is instrumental in creating leads and increasing the overall viewership of the ad.
- Placement Targeting: In conjunction with using the 'Search Partners' option, this feature is sure to generate specific, streamlined traffic that can increase the popularity of the PPC ad campaign enormously. What this does is that it enables one to choose the area where the ad will be placed. This refers to specific sites and web pages where the ad can be featured. What this does is that it increases the concentration of the invested consumer and also allows you to connect to readers who are browsing content related to the ad.
The final aspect of increasing online traffic using Google Adwords is to ensure that the traffic is continuous and grows at a steady rate. In order to ensure that the campaign is effective, one can use the 'Conversion Tracking' option that allows one to keep an eye out for the number of conversions, cost per conversion, conversion rate as well as the data on landing pages. Overall, the system is kept in place to ensure that the internet traffic is steady and can be increased and streamlined accordingly.
The effectiveness of the campaign further depends on:
- Effectiveness of the ad header.
- Placement of the ad.
- Appropriate use of keyword strings.
- Overall appeal for both visual and textual of the ad.
When it comes to generating traffic on the internet for ad campaigns, one should keep in mind that Google Adwords is merely a medium that can place the ads in an appropriate place and aid one in streamlining the traffic. Ultimately, however, the success of the ad campaign depends on how well formed the content is, how easy the website is to navigate through and how promising the various offers of your company are. Google Adwords in this context can be seen a perfect complementary tool that can allow for an exponential growth in internet traffic.
Creating strategic backup plans for your website
One of the most efficient ways of earning money online is through websites and online marketing. And this has become comparatively easier considering that websites are nowadays cheaper to build. So, let's picture this. You run a small or medium-sized website with a steady stream of traffic, and so far so good. In fact, you always manage to churn out a handsome amount of cash every month. Have you ever wondered what would happen if one morning you woke up and found out that web-hosting company had deleted your site accidentally? Or maybe someone had forgotten to pay their annual hosting fee. Even worse, sometimes hackers infiltrate web-hosts and maliciously wipe out websites indiscriminately.
Nonetheless, you don't have to be a victim of such eventualities. A little insight on how to backup your website could go a long way in helping you find foot again should such an unfortunate situation arise.
- Manual backups.
This is probably one of the most low-tech ways of creating a restore plan for a website, but it works relatively well for small websites. It basically involves downloading (or FTPing) the website files, videos, articles, photos and any other material that you may have uploaded to a local hard-disk. It maybe your laptop's internal drive or an external HDD.
The upside is that it's analogously easier or cheaper to backup your website the manual way. For sure, it's better than no backup at all. Nevertheless, the method rarely works for large websites as downloading large multimedia content could take hours if not days. However, should you decide to go this 'old school' way, keep a series of reminders to alert you when to periodically update your file collection. Otherwise, you risk falling behind in your backup schedule and thus predisposing yourself to huge losses should your site crash.
- Using the cPanel backup plan.
It's one of the easiest and effortless ways to backup websites. You need a cPanel hosting account, one which can be acquired via $40-per-month subscription. After that, the rest is just but a breeze.
- Start by logging in your cPanel account ( control panel ).
- Move the cursor to the backup icon and click on it.
- Make sure you select the " download full backup" option and then proceed to set the download destination to " Home Directory".
- Once the backup is complete, you will receive an email notification. You can then go ahead to transfer your backup contents to your computer for further safe-keeping.
The cPanel backup plan is particularly great for those who already host their websites with this web-hosting giant. Well, for others, they might have to rely on manual backups or any of the following two.
- Offsite backups.
This is synonymous to storing your backup contents to the cloud. It's much reliable considering that offsite ( cloud ) file storage is less prone to failure compared to onsite storage ( storing your contents on physical hard disks). You could also backup files in their Terabytes on the cloud, something that would be more expensive to do with external HDDs.
Some of the best cloud solutions for storing backup contents are;
- Amazon S3: Getting your backup data and files on this platform is typically the big deal. After that, you can enjoy plenty of space for a just a fraction of what it would cost you to buy external HDDs of similar capacity. However, this will require some clever expertise on your side; which entails installing a backup server software ( that is, if it possible to). A good example is the CloudBerry Backup Server Edition, for those running windows OS.
For those using WordPress platform, it may not be possible to install such a server software. Although, there are a couple of plugins available that could help you land your data on Amazon S3, such as Backup Buddy.
- Manual uploading to the cloud: You can alternatively subscribe for cheap cloud storage platforms e.g DropBox or Mozy, and then transfer your manually backed up contents to them. Rather than having them fill up your computer's hard drives.
- Automatic backups.
Automated backups are best crafted for those who run multiple sites. For such users, it's hard for them to keep track of any of the above-outlined backup schedules. Interested parties have to sign up for third-party automatic backup engines e.g Backup Machine, Codeguard, dropmysite, etc
Such platforms work by simply automating the otherwise mundane and boring task of managing website backups to local or offsite storage. The advantage with such a plan is that some of these platforms also offer quick restore options in case the website under auto-backup fails or is deleted.
With subscriptions starting from as little as $5 a month, scheduling for automated backup remains one of the most efficient plans for both small and large websites..
Using Facebook as an effective online marketing tool
Although the coming of the internet and personal computers has had an immense and positive impact on ways companies do business, the introduction of the social media has catapulted that effect. A recent research revealed that 49% of business organizations will increase spending on marketing in this year's budget, and 39% of businesses regarded use of Facebook and other social media as the most effective marketing tools.
Although most businesses originally targeted social media as a source for website traffic, many more are using it to increase brand awareness and source for clients. 92% of marketers said their brand awareness increased with the use of social media in 2014. Facebook also topped as the mostly used social media platform in marketing last year. The dominance of Facebook as a marketing tool is evidenced by the fact that 70% of marketers used the network to acquire clients last year. Facebook has 1.44 billion monthly active users and plays an important role in marketing, with US$8.3billion set to be spent on social media advertising this year. Following are advantages of using Facebook in marketing:
- It is among the top 3 social media networks.
Facebook is ranked among the top 3 social media being used by companies that are new to social media strategies. About 68% of B2C (Business to consumer) companies, according to a recent research, consider Facebook as an important tool for marketing. Facebook is more popular among B2C firms than B2B and other companies. Facebook also ranked top among social media sites used for paid advertising campaigns last year.
- Effective sharing of content.
In regard to Facebook marketing campaigns, companies are not only setting up business pages, but are also focusing their activity to achieve defined marketing goals. It helps companies share out content to many people at a go and to practically communicate with audience in real time.
Communicating with clients and responding to their needs in a timely manner helps increase brand loyalty. By identifying the audience, it is possible to reach potential clients quickly and faster. Many also emphasize on the use of compelling content tailored for their niche audience. Identifying the target audience helps companies to reach like-minded clients who are likely to purchase their products and services.
- Saves on costs.
Other than wasting time reaching out to any audience, Facebook also helps companies save on advertising time and costs. The geo-tagging of posts, pay-per click ads, events and images also has increased effectiveness of marketing campaigns by focusing content on relevant audience. Many companies have also achieved an increased client base by way of making contacts through Facebook, such as through the use of Facebook Groups.
- Metrics.
Facebook has also introduced metrics, making it easy for businesses to not only launch marketing campaigns, but to measure their effectiveness in real time. These metrics are measured on various aspects, from weekly likes to popularity of individual posts, allowing businesses to use the statistics to tailor their campaigns. For instance, by increasing the number of posts whose nature achieve the most popularity. Besides, companies can place ads on Facebook and advertise their posts to a targeted audience.
- Increased traffic.
In regard to increasing traffic, the most envied aspect is having posts and images going viral over the network. In response, companies are not only creating interesting posts, but are they using infographics to increase readability and boost audience engagement to posts. Funny images can not only be shared among many people, but they also help the audience link back to the company website. Use of Facebook sharing through plugins placed on websites eases sharing of interesting posts and blogs. The inclusion of real time social media information on search results by search engines has also made many company websites more discoverable through these searches.
Disadvantages of using Facebook in marketing.
A number of organizations will need to put in place measures if they must avoid a backlash for not using Facebook and other social media sites.
Social Media Marketing requires a budget commitment and professionalism. Creating a valuable and sizeable campaign also takes time for small and medium-sized firms. In fact, some organizations have cited lack of time to manage their social media as the reason they are not using it in marketing.
Use of Facebook in marketing also presents a major risk for any organization out there: negative comments and posts, as well as shared negative reactions to company's acts, products, services and information; all of which can ruin the business and brand popularity in a matter of minutes.
The very same advantage of reaching many people at a go for marketing benefits presents an equal amount of risk to lose followers and clients if no appropriate measures are put in place. In regard to this, companies still have to incur a sizeable percentage of budgets in controlling corporate content, monitoring client/audience responses and responding to the latter. Besides, damaging campaigns can purposely be created by competitors with a motive to destroy a company's popularity. A report has also previously ranked exposure to viruses and malware as a risk for social media marketers.
