Problem or Mystery?A problem is something which I meet, which I find completely before me, but which I can therefore lay siege to and reduce. But a mystery is something in which I am myself involved, and it can therefore only be thought of as a sphere where the distinction between what is in me and what is before me loses its meaning and initial validity. -- Gabriel Marcel

Liturgy For The PeopleThe liturgy is essentially not the religion of the cultured, but the religion of the people. If the people are rightly instructed, and the liturgy is properly carried out, they display a simple and profound understanding of it. For the people do not analyze concepts, but contemplate. The people possess that inner integrity of being which corresponds perfectly with the symbolism of the liturgical language, imagery, action and ornaments. The cultured man has first of all to accustom himself to this attitude; but to the people it has always been inconceivable that religion should express itself by abstract ideas and logical developments, and not by being and action, by imagery and ritual. --Romano Guardini, "The Awakening of the Church in the Soul"

The Anguished QuestionIf you really enquire about God, not with mere curiosity, not, as it were, like a spiritual stamp collector, but as an anxious seeker, distressed in heart, anguished by the possibility that God might not exist and hence all life be vanity and one great madness -- if you ask in such a mood as the man who asks the doctor, "Tell me, will my wife live or will she die?"-- if you ask thus about God, then you know already that God exists; the anguished question bears witness that you know. -- Emil Brunner, "Our Faith"

Anyone who manages a PPC account is perpetually on the lookout for a "secret weapon" to boost their performance. As a Customer Success Rep at WordStream, I have consulted for (what feels like) almost every type of account imaginable. Usually, my suggestions differ based on each individual client, but there is one foolproof recommendation that benefits just about everyone: bid on your branded terms.
OK, I know it sounds crazy. You're probably thinking, why bother spending money on branded terms that are already triggering organic listings? (That's what eBay recently decided, but we're not sure their SEM managers are quite up to snuff...) Or you may be worried that paid search ads will cannibalize your organic traffic. However, Google has conducted studies that show this isn't the case.
Here are my top five reasons that you should start bidding on your branded terms:
- Bidding on branded queries helps you dominate your search engine results page. I think we can all agree that two is better than one, especially when it comes to your links on a SERP. In the same way that having multiple links in an email can increase click-through, giving the searcher more opportunities to click works to your advantage. In addition, by appearing in both the organic and paid ads columns, you are proving to your searcher that you are a prominent player in your space.
- You can control your messaging. Organic listings may be free advertising, but let's face it, they are boring. Paid ads give you an opportunity to craft a message that will grab the attention of your searchers and entice them to visit your site. To really drive this point home, remember that your organic results might not send searchers to the most ideal landing pages. Take advantage of paid ads and send your searchers to your highest converting landing pages. Use sitelinks, Product Listing Ads and other engaging ad formats.
- Competitors may be invading your territory. If your competitors are savvy, they're already bidding on your branded terms. So, if someone does a search for your company, they'll find your vanilla organic listings flanked (or even preceded) by a nice shiny ad singing the praises of your competitor. This may actually cause traffic that would have been headed to your site to be diverted right over to the welcoming landing pages of your competitor.
- Branded terms are a steal. We're all on the hunt for cheap keywords that actually have search volume. Those "magic" keywords might be right under your nose – your own brand name! Don't just stick with your company name, bid on your specific products or even your URL. Not only are these words likely to be easy on your wallet, they should also garner some of your highest click-through rates and Quality Scores.
- Capture high-quality leads that are near the point of conversion. People who are searching for your branded terms are already acquainted with your company. Perhaps they've heard about you from a friend, researched you in the past or are even return customers. They know you have what they want and, chances are, they are further along in the buying cycle than the average Joe Shmoe who's searching more generic terms.
Still don't buy it? I know that some marketers are hesitant to subscribe to this strategy and I understand their reluctance. My only request to the skeptics is, give it a shot! Every PPC account is unique and you'll never know what works best for yours unless you test your options.

Have YOU incorporated branded terms into your keyword lists?
Image via Exit Lines
Usualy I am not concerned at reasons 1 and 4, but 2, 3 and 5 are the main reasons why I advertise on Branded Terms. It is amazing to see competitors bidding on your branded terms, and it happens more and more in my customers. So, instead of loosing traffic, just bid at a low price. Competitors are getting better at the art of creating messages that are not good for my brand, and by bidding on my branded terms, they show up high in the page - a big no no...
Hi Erin, I must admit that it is a nice and well composed post. I'm a newbie to this industry and rading your post gives me some idea how to passify my customers to go gor PPC campaighs. I think you've been in this niche for a long time now. Can you suggest me some more ways or importance of opting for PPC rather than going organic.
Hi Erin, you make all valid points for bidding on brand terms, and I've used these reasons time and time again to justify brand campaigns. My question is, how do you respond to merchants when they say "I don't want to pay for [a click] for someone already interested in the brand". For some PPC managers, we are paid to bring in new customers using new keywords and ads, and brand campaigns are just 'low hanging fruit' , particularly if the merchant owns the organic SERPs for their branded keywords.
This is really an increadible post, makes me think to go invest more time on PPC. It maybe a long way on testing and sometimes the campaign would not return anything but yeah, its worth a shot! Thanks for sharing these tips with us Erin!
Branded terms are cheap and convert like crazy. Besides if you dont use them someone else will for sure. :)Good read overall. These are some basic stuff which most people tend to forget while doing ppc. ThanksRyan
Thank you for sharing this very informative article. I agree with you that anyone who manages a PPC account is perpetually on the lookout for a "secret weapon" to boost their performance and your top five reasons on why we should start bidding on branded terms are true.
branded keywords are a steal no doubt. but what happens when competitor misuse this feature and misleads the brand? isnt there any protection for brands to protect their identity?
If other competitors are bidding on your brand, then you should definitely be doing it to preserve top rankings and search engine real estate. I don't think it should form the crux of your campaign though. If you are spending more than 10% on your own branded terms, you are probably throwing money away on a traffic source that isn't really affecting your bottom line. Ofcourse they convert like crazy, and agencies love reporting on a campaign as a whole when branded terms are included, but the reality is 90% of the time you would have converted that customer for free. It's just another tool in the toolchest.
Thanks for a really useful article. If you have a business that is relatively new/unknown can you still use use branded keywords to your advantage? How would you do this? ThanksKath
You've covered most of the main benefits for bidding on brand terms (e.g. messaging control), but here are plenty more benefits:http://www.calculatemarketing.com/blog/techniques/13-practical-uses-for-your-google-brand-adsI'm a big fan of using brand terms to show time-sensitive offers and promotions (point #5) - I think this is a big opportunity often overlooked when brand bidding.
Great post. We sell an add-on software that is useful for existing customers of Oracle ERP. The term "oracle" is a branded keyword for us and a vital part of our ad copy. Oracle Corporation itself doesn't have a similar software. Therefore, while the brand is not ours, neither does it belong to any competitor. We've found our ads getting rejected if they contain the term "oracle" in the copy. Any idea how we can get over this issue?
Thanks Erin, I'm bidding my branding keywords for a long time now and it's working great. However, I found out in the last months (and it's growing trend) that when i bid my brand keyword (SysAid) on a broad match type i get many search terms very related to my product (e.g. help desk software) even due i have those keywords in other ad groups and campaigns even in exact and phrase type.I would appreciate your recommendation if to exclude this search terms (as negative keywords) in the adgroup level so they can be attribute to the exact keyword or leave it that way? Many Thanks,Ami
I am working on PPC campaign of an e-commerce website and I would like to know that if I use competitors brand or competitor keywords ( other e commerce websites ) to trigger my e commerce website ...than will it cost less or high. Will the CPC for competitors campaign be high or less ?
I used to agree with your view, but things have changed in the past 2 years. Now even bidding on your company name is EXPENSIVE! It makes you wonder if it's worth it at all.
Another insight to take into considertion is sitelinks: studies (see Aaron Wall et al.) have shown that if you use sitelinks in the ad that shows up for your brand, you're actually taking away organic clics (assuming you're ranking 1st on your brand and company name on Google, which you should be...). So this study suggest that it is a good idea to have an simple ad on your company name, just without sitelinks, as your organic listing will have sitelinks as well. With that approach, ads actually give you more lead in the cumulative approach with organic leads.
All the best

Andy Roddick says union talk ahead
Updated: September 25, 2011, 11:55 PM ETAssociated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY -- Andy Roddick believes there's a conversation ahead among pro tennis players to consider whether forming a union would be the best way to tackle the sport's issues with a collective voice.
Prompted by weather issues that played havoc with the U.S. Open this month, Roddick suggested that the players should think about creating a union similar to those in other major pro sports. He even talked about being willing to lead the charge.

Your sense of humor, jokes, songs, advise and friendship will never be forgotten by the many Couch students and employees whose lives you have touched. You are greatly appreciated and deeply respected. You are wished the very best as you leave Couch R-1 School."

This figure was based on original artwork done by a fellow's wife. As you can see in the WIP shot, she's quite talented with digital illustration.
'Requested' as a Christmas gift, "Jill Frost" is a superhero that looks like a cross between Iceman and Emma Frost (no relation, apparently).
I don't typically take requests for 3.75" scale figures, but decided to take this project on as I was already working on an upcoming series of Zombie Apocalypse GI JOE scale figures, and I really liked the design of this character.
-Marvel Universe Spider-Woman (from Secret Wars 2-pack)
-High-heeled boots, cast by "Raginspoon's Custom Cast Parts and Figures"
-Female Headcast from a random seller online
-Lightening Effects from MU Storm (repainted, trimmed into clip-on 'ice' effects)
-Large Ice Blast (made from styrene + a MU Iron Man vortex blast for the handle)
-Paper clips (carefully bent, and superglued into drilled out holes in the boots - then resculpted over with Aves for the 'ice skates'
-Cast Warhammer 9" Ice Base, resculpted/repainted. Carved out new cracks, and made 2 indentations so the figure could stand properly, while wearing skates.
The rest is Kneadite (Citadel 'Green Stuff') + Aves Apoxie Sculpt (Gray).
Painted with Mr. Hobby Super Metallic Chrome & Gunmetal (Lacquer paint), black/blondes/eyes done with Vallejo Acrylics, and sealed with Mr. Spray Super Clear Matte finish.
Hope you like the pics.

Community Notes
Jon Masters looks at a few of the defining moments of 2006 and rounds up the latest activities from the many different Linux User Groups around the world.
This past year will be noted as one in which even the most traditional software companies who didn't "get it" – such as Microsoft – satup and finally tried to listen. It was also a year in which the dynamics of the Linux community changed. There was a shift away from the mainstream media and users caring solely about "Linux," to users becoming more interested in the fundamental concepts behind free and open source software. I know of many Windows users who discovered Firefox, Wikipedia, and Thunderbird in 2006, but who have no interest in making the switch away from their Mac OS X or Windows PC – yet they still do "get it," and are increasingly getting involved in areas in which the different project communities overlap. In fact, a recently published book, Wikinomics, aims to draw various conclusions from these trends and is on its way toward being a bestselling examination of the power of communities like our own.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Two-time major champion Svetlana Kuznetsova and top-20 players Kaia Kanepi and Flavia Pennetta have pulled out of the U.S. Open.
The U.S. Tennis Association did not give reasons for the three withdrawals Monday.

Internal Control Systems
This paper gives a description of three phases of internal control evaluation and presents an example of a comprehensive internal control checklist.
Phases of Internal Control Evaluation
According to Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), internal control is "a process effected by an entity's board of directors, management and other personnel, designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of objectives in the following three categories:
* Reliability of financial reporting
* Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
* Compliance with applicable laws and regulations" (Louwers, Ramsay, & Sinason, 2007, p. 149)
Auditors evaluate client's internal control by following three sequential logical phases:
* Obtaining an understanding of the client's internal controls and documenting that understanding
* Assessing the preliminary control risk
* Testing the controls, reassessing risks, and planning substantive procedures
Phase 1: Understanding the client's internal control
During the first phase auditors gather evidence about the client's internal control and document their understanding. Narratives, flowcharts, and internal control questionnaires (checklists) are common audit methods used to study and evaluate the existing internal control.
Narrative description is a document which describes all environmental elements, accounting system and control of a client (Louwers, Ramsay, & Sinason, 2007).
Flowcharts are visualization tools that help to understand flow of information and documents within a company. They represent the inputs, outputs, and sequences of processes. Auditors use flowcharts to understand better the client's system and identify key control points.
Auditors use checklists to conduct a formal interview with client's responsible managers. The...

He indicated that he wanted to restore the Glory of Genghis Khan and the Mongol empire and the Golden Horde. However he was not Mongol but Uzbeki. He felt the Persians had wrongfully taken the area in the past. He was very Muslim though and did spread the religion but that was not the purpose of the armed expansion of his empire.

My parents 'rescued 'a bike for me that their friends were going to take to the tip, as they thought I might enjoy fixing it up.
The ex owner sent me a letter shortly afterwards telling me all about their history with the bike and seemed to be quite sentimental about it (even though they were going to take it to the tip). So now I feel obligated to try and restore it.
The bike appears to be hi tensile steel, and I can't see any name brands on anything much. It's a three speed hub gear and I'm guessing its from the 80s.
The thing is, it was stored outside in coastal qld and the owner used it as a clothesline for her wet cossies. The bike is absolutely covered in rust. There isn't a part ( to my mind ) that is suitable to be retained. Most of the chroming is ruined, and someone in the past has tried to tart it up with silver paint. The frame needs stripping and repainting. I estimate it will cost $100s to fix. I started stripping the parts off it and found a rust spot that goes quite deep (1 or 2 mm) into the frame tube. I'm wondering if this affects the structural integrity.
Well to be really honest i'm kind of hoping that it is terminal and I can send it on its way to the tip with a clear conscience.

The tyres say 27 1/4 ". So I'm guessing the forks will be the wrong size?

Every year, almost like magic, a group of volunteers organizes and successfully pulls off the annual Pemberville Free Fair.
And the fact that no admission has been charged for the many decades of the fair is a trick akin to pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
Oregon City Council last Monday unanimously approved a contract with the Oregon Police Patrolmen's Association (OPPA) that does not include wage increases.
The contract period is from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2014.
It started with a unique idea and an ad on Craigslist, and now it's developed into an award winning band that's opening for the Cleveland Browns.
It's a feel good, rags-to-riches story for the seasoned veteran musicians that have formed the group Booyah!
"All around these are the best guys I've ever played with, hands down. This is basically the band I've been waiting for 25 years to play with–playing with guys this talented," says guitarist and Genoa grad Bob Hamilton.
Northwood Mayor Mark Stoner remains a staunch supporter of his plan to have 24/7 Advanced Life Support (ALS) coverage in the city, despite some misgivings on council at a July 7 meeting.
Stoner, who was not at the meeting, told The Press this week that providing round the clock ALS coverage to residents is a priority that the city will be able to afford.
Riders Unlimited, Inc. has completed the purchase of a horse facility on Behlman Road near Oak Harbor and is now looking for volunteers to help with repairs.
The non-profit organization based in Fremont purchased the property that had been owned by Robin Vess, who was convicted of animal cruelty in 2010 after officers from the Humane Society of Ottawa County responded to a call about the poor condition of more than 40 horses on the farm.

Tim Humes, Sioux Rapids, first proposed the project at a conservation board meeting in July.
An ecotourism enthusiast who has used ziplines in Thailand and Costa Rica, Humes told board members the steep hillside of the BV County Conservation Park, once home to a winter tube sledding lift, would be an ideal spot for the attraction.
Dubbed "Flight of the Eagles," a nod to the local efforts to re-establish birds once near-extinct in the region, the zipline, which could accommodate disabled individuals, would neatly coincide with a potential four-county eco tour.
A low-impact alternative to mass tourism, ecotourism is gaining popularity worldwide, highlighting undisturbed natural areas.
However, Supervisors and BV Conservation
Director Nate Young appeared to be in consensus the zipline, if built, should be housed outside the county conservation park.
"Honestly, I am not interested in turning the conservation park into an amusement park," Young told the Supervisors during their Nov. 27 meeting. "While there might be ziplines in Dubuque and Wisconsin Dells, Buena Vista County can't compete."
A similar set-up, part of a private high ropes course at a Boone County conservation park, is accompanied by a hefty price tag.
Installing a 50-foot zipline cost $10,000. Staff must be certified, and the zipline must be inspected monthly, in addition to receiving certification from an outside company. When open, at least two staff members are needed to assist participants.
Due to sheer cost, Young said the zipline is not open to the public, and is only in use two or three times per year.
"No other county (in Iowa) has a zipline or is considering one," he said, noting putting the attraction in Gabrielson Park, or even near King's Pointe, might be a better fit.
"I don't like the idea of having it in a conversation park, because it defeats the purpose of a wildlife area," Young continued. "We can't get people to come now, and I don't see a zipline working 20 miles from town."
Pursuing grants through a 28E-established group is a better option than using county funds, Supervisor Dale Arends said. "I don't think it's a wise use of our resources."

Emergency workers, firemen and police officers raced against time Thursday morning to save the lives of two people in an armored truck that rolled off Indiana State Road 46 into a ditch near Bowling Green.
The accident resulted in blocked traffic in both directions for most of the afternoon.
An official at the Clay County Sheriff's Department said a report had not been filed Thursday afternoon because all of the officers involved were still at the scene.
Emergency Management Agency Director Bryan Husband arrived at the scene with the Lewis Township firefighters and helped remove a man from the back of the vehicle.
Thirty to 45 minutes elapsed before the man was taken out of the back of the vehicle.
Husband said inside the vehicle was "a secured box -- basically a steel box" that had to be removed in order to get the man out. Emergency workers used torches and then cutters to get the man out.
Husband said he thought the person in the backseat died, but the driver lived through the accident.
The man removed from the back of the vehicle was not moving when emergency workers placed his body in an ambulance. The ambulance did not leave the scene immediately, but it was unclear if the man was dead or not.
The company whose vehicle crashed was identified as AT Systems when an emergency worker shouted to a person taking a report the Web site on the side of the vehicle as www.atsystemsinc.com.
A message was left with AT Systems.
Ken Talley, Indianapolis, was driving eastbound on SR 46 on his way to Spencer when he saw a Sheriff's car blocking off the road. Talley's white truck was the first semi stopped in a long line of semis.
"When I got here there was only one Sheriff's car here," Talley said standing outside of his truck on the highway.
The scene soon escalated as three fire trucks, three emergency vehicles and at least four police cars all carrying numerous workers blocked off the road. Towing services also showed up later to remove the armored vehicle from the ditch.
Talley said he did not see the accident happen, but said it appeared as if a back tire had blown out of the vehicle.
Another semi driver, Rose Miller of Iowa, stopped shortly after Talley. She said she overheard someone saying one car was passing another when it was cut off and the accident resulted.

People tend to check in during these times:
Delicious Mexican food with sit-down restaurant quality at fast food prices and convenience.
Nice folks
this Taco Bueno has the best quality food than any other in town and the staff here is awesome!
The chicken quesadillas seem to have too much cheese. Beef tacos aren't bad.

Scatterbrain Lyrics
Artist: Radiohead
Album: Hail To The Thief
I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin' on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Somewhere I'm not
Lightning fuse, powercut
Radiohead Lyrics
