Are You Handicapping Your Conversion Rate?
As humans, we tend to believe that if we like something, it must have value—how else do you explain our obsession with celebrities?
I mean, I've never met Tom Brady, but he's one of my favorite athletes…so he must be a good guy, right?
Unfortunately, this sort of thinking doesn't end with pro athletes or TV stars. As online marketers, we make a lot of assumptions about how certain website elements affect our conversion rates.
After all, if we like a certain page element or approach to site design, then everyone else must like it too, right?
If only that were true…
The fact of the matter is, you are not your target audience. So, even if you love your sidebar and hate your developer's favorite widget, you really have no idea how either of those site elements are affecting your conversion rate.
But, the good news is that with a few simple tests, you can easily discover how different elements on your site help or hinder your conversion rate.
Much Ado About Nothing?
Eliminating website elements allows you to get a good feel for how those elements are affecting the performance of your site.
In a lot of ways, it's like comparing Tom Brady's performance with deflated balls to his performance without deflated balls.
If Tom only wins Superbowls when he plays with deflated balls, that must be a big contributor to his performance. On the other hand, if he still wins without the deflated balls, air pressure probably doesn't affect his throwing ability much.
The same idea applies to your website.
If you remove an element and your conversion rate goes up, that element was probably hurting your conversion rate. If your conversion rate goes down, that element was probably helping your conversion rate.
Simple enough, right?
It may be a simple idea, but it's one that can make a big difference to your business.
For example, EA got rid of the promo banner on their SimCity microsite and improved their purchase rate by 43%. Impact deleted their sidebar and their conversion rate went up 71%.
It's easy to fall into the trap of believing that what we like, everyone likes. But, if you aren't testing your site elements, you may very well be doggedly hanging on to an element that is ruining your conversion rate.
How to Determine the Value of Your Site Elements
If you really want to know how specific site elements affect your conversion rate, there are two easy places to start: your pages and the elements on those pages.
Which Pages Do You Really Need?
One of the simplest things you can test on your site is how your homepage affects your conversion rate. Is your homepage an important part of your conversion process? Or does it distract and frustrate your site visitors?
To test this, all you have to do is send traffic to another page.
In fact, most companies do this without even realizing it when they send campaign traffic to landing pages…instead of their home page.
Essentially, when you send traffic to a landing page, you're running an A/B test. The homepage is your control and the landing page is your variant.
In general, a good landing page that matches the messaging of the marketing that brought someone to your page will convert better than your homepage. However, this isn't always the case.
For some companies, their homepage is actually an important part of their conversion funnel.
For example, we had a client who wanted to send traffic to two landing pages (each one was focused on a different product) to see which one performed the best. Out of curiosity, we also threw in the homepage for comparison's sake.
To our surprise, the homepage won.
As it turned out, this client's customers were actually interested in both products and a variety of our client's other products. Since the homepage featured all of those products, potential customers didn't want a product-specific landing page—they wanted the homepage.
For this client, the homepage was a key part of their conversion process.
Simply adding or eliminating pages from your customer journey can be a great way to determine how different pages are contributing to your conversion rate. It's simple, easy and it can teach you a lot about your audience.
Which Parts of Your Page/Site Matter?
Once you've identified how your pages are affecting your conversion rate, you can start looking at the specific elements on those pages.
For example, for one of our clients, we removed the sliding promotion header from their eCommerce site. As a result, their revenue-per-visitor increased by 25%. Similarly, when we nixed their navigation sidebar, their monthly revenue increased by 19%.
Together, eliminating these pet design elements increased their yearly profits by $2 million!
To set up a test like this, you'll want to build a second version of your page that is identical to your current page—with one exception. Your new page won't have the page element you are evaluating.
Typically, this is pretty easy. Just duplicate the page you want to test and then go in and delete the part of the page that you want to test. In some cases, though, this can mess up other parts of the page, so be sure to proofread your new page before you start your test.
As an added bonus, you can use what you learn from eliminating page elements to come up with further testing ideas.
For example, if you know that a page element on one page is hurting your conversion rate, you can try eliminating it from other pages too. Alternatively, you can try tweaking or replacing the element to see if you can get it to perform better.
On the other hand, if a specific part of your page is really boosting your conversion rate, you may want to replicate that element across your site. You can also try to milk even more from high-performing elements by tweaking things like copy, color, size, imagery or location.
Regardless of how you use your findings, eliminating page elements can teach you a lot about what your audience really wants from your site.
No matter how much you might like a particular page or page element, what really matters is how those aspects of your site affect your traffic.
Unfortunately, if you don't test your specific site elements, you'll never know whether or not they are helping or hurting your conversion rates.
However, by simply eliminating specific site elements, you can very easily discover what your target market values on your site and what they hate. And, once you know what your audience values, you can make sure your website delivers exactly what your potential customers want.

What the 1960s Can Teach You About Growth Hacking
Growth hacking is an evolution.
Not a revolution.
It takes a different skill set. A new way of thinking.
However, at the end of the day, a lot of what you're doing still looks and sounds like real marketing.
Not today's misappropriated use of the word, but the good stuff originally developed back in 1960s.
Here's why.
Where Did Growth Hacking Come From?
Sean Ellis gets credit for initially coining the term that would eventually send startup peeps into a frenzy. (And for the first time in their lives, not completely abhor the concept of marketing or sales.)
Sean's concept came from initial failed attempts to hire data-driven, technical people focused on growing products or companies.
Instead, most of the 'marketing backgrounds' he saw made them great at communication, PR, and other classically defined marketing skills. Yet little focused on this new way of obsessing over conversions first.
These skill sets, while important, also aren't completely necessary in very early stage startup companies, as QuickSprout excellently points out in the Definitive Guide to Growth Hacking. They also carefully point out that both skill sets are still very important – one's just right for different circumstances.
But the problem comes when it's asserted that growth hackers are fundamentally different than marketers. Even the sage Fred Wilson got this wrong.
Are the two things so interlinked really all that different?
I'm not so sure.
Here's why, and where the confusion stems from.
The Great 'Growth Hacking' Hoax: Why Marketing Isn't Advertising
It's not growth hacking's fault.
For years, 'marketing' has been masquerading as 'advertising'. Inside most companies, the 'marketing department' does little more than work with advertising agencies or pick advertising channels.
Only in a rare case are they responsible for actual, you know, marketing.
Years ago, like way back in the 60s, the marketing mix was developed to provide a framework of all the roles and responsibilities that marketing influences.
And what you'll quickly notice, is that unlike today's bastardized version of marketing, this one actually includes a few other key areas like Product, Pricing, and… wait for it… Distribution (we'll come back to this last one in a minute).
Now is the marketing mix the end-all-be-all? Of course not. Sure, there's flaws.
But the central idea is strong and valid. And it can be perfectly highlighted with a simple story.
Walk into any car rental agency right now. Or retail. Or food. Movie theater. Take your pick.
What you'll encounter, is numerous dealings with the lowest paid, most underappreciated people in a company. And they'll treat you as such. Your experience with each person (who undoubtedly hates their job and questions their existence) colors your worldview of that brand forever.
What do you call that? Who's responsible for putting these ingrates in direct contact with customers on a daily basis? Customer service? Operations?
Now walk into an Apple store or a Four Seasons, and you'll undoubtedly #humblebrag to your friends on Instagram how helpful and awesome they were.
That's marketing. Even Fred Wilson readily admitted that customer service is one of the best forms of marketing for startups. And under the classic definition, it is.
The long-winded point here is that true marketing isn't advertising. Or PR. Or sales. It's all this junk that ultimately gets a customer to buy your stuff.
Or 'convert' and become a 'user'.
Peter Drucker, the OG, said the "aim of marketing was to make selling superfluous". Obviously that's not defined or limited to a single person or department within an organization. And that's where the confusion stems from.
Growth hacking definitely has some unique characteristics that make their objective different than say, these other brand marketers who obsess over fuzzy intangibles all day.
But at the end of the day, a lot of what they do still looks like classic marketing.
Let's get specific.
If you try researching the difference between marketing and growth hacking, you'll see this article from The Next Web. A reputable, tech savvy site that's going finally lay the issue to rest. Perfect.
And it's a good read, which culminates in pointing out the laundry list of tactics that commonly differentiate growth hacking from marketing.
However, when you really start to analyze these tactics under a broader understanding of what marketing is or involves, you'll quickly start to see that these new-fangled tactics still look a whole lot like mid-century marketing.
When you get right down to it, a lot of the daily activities that define growth hacking resemble much of the same seemingly outdated marketing concepts from nearly 50+ years ago.
Again, let's get specific.
Let's take a look at some of the most fundamental 'growth hacks' used by successful startups over the past decade to reverse-engineer their meteoric rise.
Example #1. Product Hacks
Long before Gmail, there was Hotmail.
The idea of free email, at the time about twenty years ago, was kinda nuts. And it also presented a few obvious drawbacks to classic growth methods like advertising.
(Yes, even Stone Age Startups understood how CAC affects LTV. That wasn't just a YC thing for you millennial hipsters.)
Instead, Hotmail decided to leverage their existing 20,000 user base to kickstart one of the first examples of 'viral acquisition'.
In the bottom of each email, they added the simple tagline: "Get Your Free Email at Hotmail".
Commonplace now, but keep in mind that this simple edit was pretty revolutionary at the time. Within six months, their userbase shot up to a million users.
Fast forward a bit, and another Silicon Valley darling was quickly finding out that paying more for a new customer than they're worth is a recipe for disaster (and bankruptcy).
In response, they created a simple referral program that resembled Hotmail's early tactic. Each new person that signed up for an account through this referral process got 500MB of free storage.
And in a little over a year, Dropbox grew from 100,000 users to 4 million.
Now there are many reasons these tactics succeeded. For one, getting something (for free) from your friend is a more compelling proposition than buying from a stranger over a questionable banner ad.
However, these are still simple product decisions too at the end of the day. (1) You have to have a good product to begin with – otherwise all the Promotion in the world won't help. And (2) creating new features in the product are what enable it to be shared through a referral mechanism.
But it also brings up an important concept from, you guessed it, the 60s.
In marketing promotion, there's Reach. And Frequency.
- Reach: The number of new, unique people your message is seen by.
- Frequency: The number of times that message reaches these people.
Admittedly, very simple. But also effective.
You'll notice that in both cases, Hotmail started with an initial 20,000 users while Dropbox had 100,000. If you're going for viral growth through recommendations, you need an existing user base to tap.
Why? Reach and frequency.
Wanna make numbers go up? Increase those two things.
The first is pretty easy. Just get more eyeballs to see your message.
Here's how.
Example #2. Distribution Hacks
Back in the day, distribution used to be more focused on Place.
That's because we lived in small towns and cities where you literally had a physical storefront. And even when times evolved, when products needed to be shipped across different factories or warehouses or retailers, you relied on heavily on distribution.
Technically, it means the "process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by a consumer or business user, using direct means, or using indirect means with intermediaries".
That brought about different distribution methods like intensive, exclusive or selective (all of which mean exactly like they sound).
Today, this all seems archaic because you're mainly going direct to consumers through the interwebs.
But here's the important part, summed up by Wikipedia:
"The role of the marketing channels is not only focus on the participate in demand satisfaction by offering goods, but also need to stimulate demand through information, creating proximity and promotion by customer (Balasecu, 2014). In other words, distribution channels for the product is a system process."
Distribution hacks are some of the most common in growth hacking lexicon, and it's roots are still firmly planted in the work from previous decades.
Airbnb didn't magically become the one-stop shop for letting strangers crash on your couch. No; they 'borrowed' (or ripped off) Craigslist's user base (thereby massively extending their own distribution). They created simple tools to allow Airbnb users to also get their properties in front of the massive number of people already searching and browsing Craigslist.
This approach is nothing new.
Back in the good old days, YouTube used a similar form of 'platform hacking' (read: distribution) to piggyback on MySpace's success (and userbase of around 25 million uniques in 2005). Unlike many other video platforms at the time, YouTube openly allowed (and encouraged) users to take advantage of their embed code and spread their content to larger platforms like MySpace.
Facebook used selective (or exclusive) distribution when they started off as a closed network only open to specific colleges. That exclusivity idea was then borrowed by Pinterest who initially used invite-only status to increase their desirability and cachet.
In each case, distribution – a classic marketing consideration – was central to growth.
Example #3. Promotion Hacks
Despite the semantic issues already discussed at length, advertising still plays a role in today's 'growth hacking' playbook.
Look no further than Eric Ries' Lean Startup (which I can't believe was published in 2011 already), where advertising shows up as one of the three engines of growth to grow a sustainable business.
Paid acquisition, once again, isn't some completely brand new concept that evolved from the halls of MIT or Stanford. Instead, it's been employed successfully for half a century since the Mad Men era.
Sure, advertising channel options were incredibly limited back then. Which meant it was far easier to get your stuff to stick out. And sure, they didn't have fancy cohort analyses or funnel tracking tools, instead largely relying on correlation measurements to sales.
But still.
Make more money than you spend ain't an original equation. And it's especially useful in today's world, where let's face it: true virality like some of the earlier examples is incredibly rare (not to mention, borderline lucky).
Just look at Noah Kagan at AppSumo, who has spent over $2 million on ads to profitably grow their business.
Or Netflix spending around $18 bucks for a subscriber when they make like $300 on each.
Or Groupon.
(Don't laugh. They still went public, bro.)
Sure they spent a sh*t-ton to do it, reportedly almost $200 mill in a single quarter according to the SEC. But that also helped them gain 33 million new subscribers. AND GO PUBLIC.
Point is: paid acquisition isn't a 'hack'. It's just called good (read: not terrible) advertising.
A few minutes ago you read about Reach, which can be increased through distribution and obviously advertising.
However advertising can also help bolster Frequency, which is important considering its curse (as Seth Godin describes it):
"The best members of your audience, the ones who are listening the most carefully, have to be bored/annoyed at the messages that show up after they take action. Some people pledge the first day of pledge week, or buy the book the day it comes out. Those folks don't want or need to hear the message again."
"Worse, frequency creates a culture of less engagement. Since we know that just about every important issue, opportunity or warning is going to be repeated a few times, we don't engage as much. Why bother to listen, we say, they'll just repeat it."
The world ain't as simple today as it used to be. A single ad or message won't get someone to convert.
But multi-channel marketing, complete with remarketing ads or utilizing custom audiences on Facebook, provide another new twist on an old stand-by marketing principle.
Growth hacking can involve mind numbingly complex techniques to obsessively grow a new product.
It's difficult to pull off and takes truly creative thinkers who're able to blend strategy with technical chops.
But at the end of the day, a lot of what they're doing still sounds a lot like marketing when you think about it.
Not today's watered-down version of advertising or PR. But true marketing, how it was envisioned over half a century ago, at its theoretical high point.
Those days weren't perfect. And the models espoused can seem a bit dated at times.
However, you might be surprised to find that your new brilliant growth hacking idea didn't come from hitting refresh on Hacker News, but instead from looking through a few dusty books from the 60s.

Ok. We've owned Bissel machines in the past and the old canister, drag-along thing was pathetic. So, I researched and decided on this one. WOW! WOW! This steam cleaner works GREAT. Just look at the pix below taken while cleaning. I put it together in no time. Even though the box came with a 16 oz. deep cleaning solution, I purchased the premium pet solution-for obvious reasons.
Easy to use, fill, empty. EVERYTHING! I really like the view window on the extractor because if I still saw the dirt in the rinse, I simply went back over for deeper cleaning.
Important to note: thoroughly vacuum the carpet before hand. This reduces the cunk build-up when you're done. After you're done with the machine, take it apart per the instructions and clean it and dry it before storing. I work on my own vacuums and took it apart a little further for longer life. And, I gently laid it on it's side on an old rag to let it drain from the body of the cleaner. I actually washed the carpet on a rainy day and it still only took about 1 hour to dry. After, I vacuumed, per instructions. Amazing, outstanding results. The photos are from the carpet in our bedroom which is about 30 years old (I know, maybe it should be replaced). But WOW! it looks and smells GREAT! THNX HOOVER and Walmart for this awesome buy.
I had debated back and forth for a while as to whether to rent or buy a carpet cleaner. I decided to purchase one when I figured out that, financially, by using it at least 3 times, it would equate to the cost of a 2 day rental (which I would need). That being said, the "search for the right steam cleaner" began. I researched reviews for Bissell, Hoover, Dirt Devil, and other big chain companies. I discovered that the reviews for the Hoover Steamvac were very positive on all sites, where as other competing models like the Bissle ProHeat 2x had varying reviews. I went to the Walmart store and checked out the box, and noticed it was also on sale for $139.00. So I bought it. I got the machine home and found it pretty easy to assemble. I had it set up in about 15 minutes, I probably could have done it faster, but I couldn't find a screw driver! The directions are easy to understand and adding/removing water is easy. I especially like that it has separate clean/dirty water tanks and also comes with attachments for cleaning upholstery. Also, it didn't mention this on the box, but it did come with a 16 ounce bottle of deep cleaning solution. Then the fun began! I cleared the furniture and started using the steamvac. It was super easy to move and operate. The directions say to do a front and back wet pass followed by a front and back dry pass, I found that doing an extra front and back dry pass really sped up the drying time for the floors. The results were incredible. The tank water was easy to dump and refill, and my carpet turned out phenom! You can totally see the difference it made. I included some before and after pictures so you can see too! I definitely recommend this product!!!!!
This machine is amazing! Assembly only required 5 minutes to screw in 2 bolts and snap in the handle and tool holder. My carpet was BAD. This is a rental home and the home owners have never had the carpets cleaned. I was fed up every time I cleaned the house, the room still looked undone because of all the black stains on the carpet. It took about 7 times of emptying the dirty water and refilling the detergent, but the carpet is like new! I cannot wait to tackle the rest of the house! Take a look at the transformation in the pictures below... Thank you HOOVER!
I purchased this steam cleaner today from Walmart (although, the rollback price was not in effect at the store...I must address that) Anyways, I have stewed over buying a steam cleaner for quite some time now. My girlfriend let me use her steam cleaner before she moved out of town and it worked wonders. It is also a hoover very similar to this one. I have 2 dogs and a cat...and might I add, they all make regular messes! I searched and searched to determine which steam cleaner would best suit my needs. Most of the reviews for this cleaner were excellent but there are a few that did concern me. However, I made the decision to buy it today (along with the 1 year warranty from Walmart...no chances with 4-6 month breakdowns) It was super easy to put together and it is super easy to use. My 3 month old puppy decided to poo on the carpet, smear it and lay down in that spot today. I pretreated the carpet with a carpet foam (that I did not scrub in) and went to work. It looks beautiful! You would never know there was a dried up mess there earlier! Definitely worth the money. If you can get the rollback price, I suggest doing that. Otherwise, this is a great buy. I find if you follow the instructions, take your time and use the machine properly, you should not have any issues with it. Besides, hoover is a very good company and the products are long-lasting. Hope this was helpful
To be honest I had debated for the longest on to buy this product or to rent the machine from the grocery store. Well to make a long store short I am very glad i purchased my cleaner. I took before and after pictures all i could say was OMG i have my carpet back.
I feel like i have my home back. (tear drops)
this is so much better than the Bissell Pro-Heat that I paid over $200.00 for. I got this for a temporary replacement since someone borrowed my Bissell and never returned it. I was very skeptical at first since this was least expensive that I didnt think it was going to work better than the one I had. But HOOVER proved me wrong, sometimes you dont have to pay a lot to get quality. I made this decision on buying this after getting quoted for over $300.00 dollars from those carpet cleaning company offering specials for $99.00 to clean 4 rooms and ended up giving me a quote for over $300.00 so I did the math.... go figure... I got the carpets cleaned for all my rooms in the house better than when I paid to have one floor-2 rooms cleaned for $125.00.
I had been looking into getting a carpet cleaner for awhile and after looking at the reviews for this one and the cheaper bissell I decided to go with this one. I have an 18 month old daughter so my carpets were not clean to say the least. She does a number on my couches as well so i loved the fact that this cleaner has an upholstery tool. The cleaner works great on both carpet and upholstery and it hardly took anytime at all for everything to dry which is really nice. I took before and after pictures of my carpet and couches but i can only upload 2 so i just included the ones of the carpet.
In 2 hours did the seating surfaces of a large "pit" couch. About 300sq feet of outdoor carpet. 4 outdoor chairs (seating area) and 3 small dinning chairs. The 300 sq feet of outdoor carpet took 4 refills. Had I followed the instructions it would have doubled that amount. Very high on consumption of fluid...not that I'm complaining. It pulled mud out of the carpet. Hand tool for upholstery was excellent. I've used R.Dr's several times. Almost the same quality job. Actually a little less over-spray/drip(lower water pressure). Could use a little more suction but adequate. I'm not sure how deep the scrub brushes got. No obvious scrub pattered but then I was doing outdoor carpeting. Seems it could use some adjustment for floor hight. Needs to come with hardwood floor attachment. Overall quality looks a little low...but so is the price. I think if you spent 2-3 times more you would only get 10-15% more in performance . Good work out ;) 2 dogs(one is a puppy, why I bought it), one kid
i love this steam cleaner it worked great for our few months set in stains and for the traffic areas. getting new furniture and wanted to steam clean the carpet first. we were eh about it at first but seeing how easy it was to use, drain, and clean out. not to mention how well it cleaned the carpet. it was well worth the money. I told a few of my friends about it and they are considering getting it. WE LOVE IT. we used to have a bissell and in order for that to pick up well. you had to go over the area a few times. this beats it hand down. definitely when you have a 3 yr old, two cats, and a husband running around and in and out. it makes it well worth it. I love the idea of the hose attachment haven't used it yet but I am sure I will be in the near future. I love makes keeping our place cleaner. and since our carpet is the very flat one made it even more challenging to see it get deep in the carpet (A+). I would highly recommend this to someone. Actually already have lol =)
I've always hired people to clean my carpet or rented machines to do so. In truth, I was never pleased with the end result and didn't like having to do it according to their schedule. So after research, several months ago I took the plunge and bought this unit. Have used it twice in two marathon cleaning sessions - upstairs and downstairs. Good price - but more importantly it cleans very nicely. I'm sure there are more powerful machines - but this machine does what I needed it to do! I also like having two separate containers - one for cleaning solution and one for dirty water. But it is not a steam cleaner. That is a false description. Just uses your hot water. And save money by buying store brand cleaner - works just as well. Great purchase and I am pleased. My carpet looks and feels and IS cleaner!
I've had this carpet cleaner for two years and I have no regrets in choosing Hoover. It does a wonderful job of cleaning carpets and upholstry (Ididn't realize how filthy my sofa really was!). It's easy to assemble and use. The hot air that blows out the bottom helps the carpet dry quickly.
The only problem I had was the trigger for the upholstry attachment. It sticks and continues to spray cleaning solution. I returned/exchanged it twice before I got one that works properly.
The price of this machine is less than what it would cost for a professional to come in and do my carpets, so even if you use it once or twice, it pays for itself.
I get my carpet cleaned by a professional once a year but I needed to be able to deep clean those high traffic areas more often. I purchased this carpet cleaner to clean near entrances and hallways where everyone tracks dirt and to clean pet stains. Now when we have a party I no longer have embarrassing spots in my carpet. The Hoover Steamvac Is easy to use and does a good job. Don't ask to borrow mine. Get one of your own! You won't be sorry.
I used this to clean my apartment carpet before I moved out. It saved me the cost of hiring a company, or renting a cleaner to do it. My mom had the older version of this model and she loved. In fact, upon hearing my review and the price, she bought one for herself too. She has been called the "Mopping Queen" so I have trusted her cleaning advice for years. The dual tanks are ideal and their larger size allows you to clean for awhile without having to empty or refill constantly. I haven't used the upholstery feature yet, and it looks a bit daunting, but after I read the instructions I'm sure I will find it's easier than I think. Just as a word of advice, per my mom's suggestion, don't put the cleaner they give you, or any cleaner in the source water tank. She says it's difficult to get it completely rinsed out. She also said the cleaner it comes with smells weird. I had bought spray oxi-clean carpet, and sprayed it all over the carpet before I used the cleaner. It worked like a charm. The apartment manager was astounded that I had cleaned the carpet myself, and that I had done such a good job.
I LOVE my new shampooer. For years I owned Bissell carpet shampooers but when the last one stopped working I decided to try a Hoover. I read all the reviews and felt pretty confident that Hoover would be a good choice. It is SO much better than Bissell. The carpets came out much cleaner and the brushes really seemed to scrub the carpet from all sides. I use it weekly since I have a daycare in my home, have 4 dogs and I am a clean freak. My white berber carpet looks and feels brand new. I will only purchase Hoover shampooers in the future. The only complaint I have is that I prefer to have both the clean water and the dirty water tanks combined like in the Bissell because it saves trips to the sink. Other than that, I am really happy with the Hoover.
this carpet cleaner works wonders, my carpet looks like i just moved in, and its so powerful that it nearly sucked up all the water and cleaning solution off the floor, i started cleaning after kids left for school about an hour later it was completely dry. i love it, i have found a reason to clean my carpet since i got it. if the kids walk on the carpet with shoes, i am cleaning the carpet again, just spot treating, lol, i love it.....
I decided on his machine because of the reviews.
It has exceeded my expectations and I am very satisfied with it.
You can clearly see this carpet cleaner is cleaning your carpets.
i previously purchased the upright steamer from bissel,wich didnt have round rotating sep brushes and by the way the bissel uprighte steamer stinks and doesnt work well----i decided to try this product,it looked good and the round spinning brushes is what caught my eye,because i know those time brushes are better,anyway,
took only a few minutes to put togeather and was anxious to try it when i got home,and i did and area,which come out tremendously wellmfor heavier soiled areas,id go over it a couple times and use a lil extra soltion for the tank.
i fell in love with it and i feel like a kid at xmas with a new toy--this one was defently well worth the money i promise you that,and i have alot of traffic in and out the home with 4 teens and a german shepard lol....and my carpet is a light tan and you just need to get this..you'll be amazed!!!!! the water compartments are very sturdy i like that it has seperate solution and empty tanks,and the hose attachments are really good for couches chairs anything small/stairs ect---id bu this again no doubt
So I went back and forth between this one and F5914900 model, with the power surge. I eventually just bought this model and I was skeptical because it was cheap and I am a avid lover of renting rug doctors. However this rug cleaner cleaned my white carpets like a rug doctor. I am loving this, granted I have only had it a few hours. I am already in love with this rug shampooer. To spare you from doing TONS of research as I did, this model and the F5914900 are highly recommened among several websites. Well worth the price. The only downfall it does take a little getting use to. Meaning you have to lower the handle to take the dirty water tank out and take the lid off, but after a few clumsy dumps I got the handle on it. Enjoy yours if you end up getting it. Ohh and this model does have a power clean surge and the only difference between the 2 models is the F5914900 has an extra attachment.
I bought this maching to replace my old Bissell. There is no comparison between this machine and the Bissell. This machine actually scrubs the carpet fibers with horizontally spinning brushes instead of a brush bar that beats the dirt further into the carpet. This machine extracts almost all of what it puts into the carpet. Dry fast. No sticky residue leftover. Uses a fraction of the liquid shampoo my Bissell used. That alone is a huge cost savings! Don't let the relatively low price fool you. This machine works far better than the Oreck I had years ago and that was far more expensive. Although I had mine less than a year before I wore it out, I put over 250 hours on it during that time! I have 5 dogs, 2 boys, and a husband - all of whom create the need for a lot of carpet shampooing.
This rug cleaner measures up to the great reviews. Primarily it does an excellent cleaning job and vacuums rugs nearly dry. The test of a good cleaner is finding that your rugs were dirtier than you could have imagined. I'm happy with the area it cleans between filling and emptying and it is easy enough to use for spot cleaning of small areas. Filling and emptying can be a bit messy, so I find wearing latex gloves useful. I have not yet tried the stairs/upholstery and dry floor accessories, but am confident they will do an excellent job as well. In my view, no need to pay more for a terrific product.

This campground is suitable for overnight while traveling to another destination. Gravel/grass parking spots. Gravel roads with lots of puddles. They have the worst internet service I have ever encountered anywhere, plus limited online time. It was so slow I gave up trying to access email. - R V Camper
May 2016 - $33.00
We have stayed at this campground before and knew what to expect. It is off of I-95 and seems to cater to travelers coming off the highway for the night. We have never seen anyone there for an extended stay. The sites are close together, but we've never had anyone next to us for it to matter. The roads are dirt and get muddy when it rains. Our site was level. The utilities were easy to reach and use. The over-air TV reception was fine. This is a good place to stop for the night as long as you don't want frills. - ShoreXplorers

Very clean and nice park. If you want to get away from it all it is great ... No cell phone and big sky. Was a bit mislead thinking my site had water. Water is available throughout the park, so fill tank before set up or coming into park. Great park! - welkertp

We stayed 3 nights. We had a large level gravel site. Spacious, clean, Wi-Fi strong in some areas. We visited to check out Roanoke Rapids area. The staff was excellent and very professional. Large Dog run, pool, hot tub, 9 hole mini-golf for a great price. Satellite reception was excellent. We were in site P19. - Nomad61

Stayed two nights. Clean, spacious sites. Easy in/out. Level. Some sites paved/concrete. Others with gravel with concrete pad. Only problem - water does not drain well at some sites. It rained ( can't prevent that ) both days. Had to step out into 1-1 1/2 of water because pad is lower than the ground. Will stay again; but not at site P6. - billydw

I think this is an excellent stopover CG off I-95. Easy off/on and easy to maneuver within the CG. Office was closed as it was July 4th. They have a very easy and clearly described self check-in system. Choose your site, put cash in an envelope with site #, and put in box. If paying by CC, go to office the next morning. It says you pay $1.00 more for CC, but they did not charge me that. Our pull-thru, 50 amp, FHU site was gravel and level. We paid $33.00. The paved sites were $5.00 more, and the gazebo sites were another $5.00. WiFi worked well. They had limited cable channels, but plenty to have enough choices. If we had not been traveling to a destination, and if there had been anything in the area, we would've happily stayed here for a few days. We will stay again if traveling on I-95. - Gayle E.

This "campground" is a dirt (spots of grass) parking lot behind a motel. It appears to be very old and poorly maintained. Hookups very rusty, but usable. We did not see any sewer hookup. There was a dump...not in good shape. Restroom was available with a key...very old and basic, but seemed clean. The lot looks like it would be a mess in wet weather, but it was dry when we were there, and it is very convenient for a pull through night, just off the highway. We will not likely use it again. - joyces
Dec 2009 - $29.00
Sites were level. We were able to use our satellite. Site long enough for 40ft+towing. Sewer connections nicely placed (not in back and not raised). Wi-fi strong and fast and free. Local pizza delivery available (not RV park pizza). Interior roads very wide. Roads paved with no ruts; more than enough for big rigs. Staff was friendly. Very nice and clean. There were no permanent residents. Propane was available. We will stay here every time we are near. - petersoldan
Oct 2007 - $18.00
This campground is a reasonably priced, easy off, easy on, Interstate stop over. I would not recommend this as a destination RV Park. Cable TV is an extra $4/night, but the TV service is was excellent as was the free WiFi. The voltage was low (105-V) in the morning when all the overnighters were using power. I had to turn my refrigerator and water heater on gas. Security in an unknown quantity as this campground is not in the best of neighborhoods. However, there are lots of bright lights. I would stay here again. - dlr

I started work on a dungeon crawler in C# and I've already coded the level generation.
However, I've run into a problem. My level map is stored in a 32x32 multidimensional array, and each tile is stored as a string. All the tiles except for the following (all of these names are the variable names that represent that tile) (mongroveplant, tree, hjalaplant, vnosplant, barraplant, weedplant, naroplant, deathweedplant, venustrap, strangulator, statue, emptiness and stonewall) cannot be walked over.
These tiles (which can be walked over), which constitute a much longer list, are found here: Walkable Tiles. In each entry in the 32x32 multidimensional array, every entry is a string.
How do I create a pathfinding algorithm that avoids all the tiles listed above, but can go through all the tiles listed in the link? I am trying to go from the "start" tile to the "exitlevel" tile.

The text is familiar territory for parents and kids who've read other books by Martin, Jr. This wonderful rythmic writing makes it easy for kids to read and, even better, more fun to listen to. I highly recommend this book. It's fun for all ages.
The book is colorful, easy to hold, and has that unmistakeable charm that all of Eric Carle's books carry. The pictures, as well as the characters, are all far more advanced than in the original Brown Bear book. The book is dedicated to the wild life of North America and has a forward encouraging everyone to do there part in the conservation efforts Eric Carle supports.
Long story short- it's worth it!
I would recommend this to a person with small children and children learning how to read as well as reading at advanced levels.

We stayed at the Charter house for 10 nights for a great price. We booked for The Caroline Beach Motel but Tammie contacted us before we left the UK, that she had doubled booked us and she had moved us to the Charter House. We were a bit concerned as we couldnt find any pictures of the place or even locate it on google.Tammie assured us that we would be OK.
On arriving Tammie met us at the Caroline and directed us to the Charter House, it was raining and no where looks the same as it does when the sun is shining. It wasnt quite what we expected but after staying the first night we settled in and we were quite comfortable. The Charter House is basic in comparison to other places in Florida,but we have stayed in a lot more basic in Greece and Spain.
The Charter house was clean, the room was quite large with a double bed and 2 other beds for the kids.The bed linen could have been of a slightly better quality and should have matched for the whole room but it was clean.We could have done with a few extra pillows.There were plenty of towels and we just left them in a laundry basket to be washed as often as needed.We had a large fridge freezer with ample room for the many cold beers and drinks that are needed in the hot Florida sunshine.The only thing that we missed being from the UK was a decent kettle. The courtyard at the Charter house was well maintained,despite getting biten by mosquitos that goes with being in Florida. There was a large bar-b-que for all to use, many people did but we enjoyed going out to the nearby restaurants.
Charter house was just steps away from an amazing beach that was miles long and apart from independence weekend was pretty much empty in comparison to any beach that we have visited in Europe. There were restaurants a few bars and ice cream parlours which were generally all quite nice,fantastic meals in Nicks and the other restaurant that we would recommend would be Las Palmas that overlooked the inland canal.The outdoors theatre had some great music acts with people dancing on the promenade.
Staying at the Charter House and in Hollywood was a fairly good location for getting to many other places, we visited the Everglades, Fortlauderdale,and as for shopping we thought Aventura Mall was great as well as Sawgrass Mills.Bargains galore if you like Abercrombie, Ralph Lauren Hollister Tommy Hilfiger and many many more.
We had a great time at the Charter House, met some lovely people from all over Florida and then went on to the Keys.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Charter House is a 19 unit, two story hotel located within steps of the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk. The hotel has been completely refurnished and offers free wireless internet, flat screen cable televisions, BBQ areas, and beautiful landscaping. ... more less
- Also Known As:
- Charter House-Ocean Beach Hotel Hollywood

Antibiotics and drug testing
Some common diseases like influenza (flu) and the common cold are caused by viruses. These mutate quickly, and this changes their surface proteins. This makes it almost impossible to develop a permanent vaccine [Vaccines: substances containing disabled antigens of a particular disease, usually administered via injection. Vaccines stimulate the body to produce antibodies to provide immunity against that disease. ] against them. A new flu vaccine has to be developed every year, after the strain has been analysed.
There is no vaccine for the common cold because the virus that causes it mutates far too quickly. By the time a vaccine could be developed, the virus would have changed its surface proteins and would no longer be recognised by the antibodies [antibodies: Proteins produced by the body's immune system that attack foreign organisms (antigens) that get into the body. ].
You may wish to view this BBC News item (2006) about the recommendation that pregnant women should be offered the flu vaccine in winter.
The government has policies on vaccination which advises which stage in their life people should be vaccinated against different diseases. The policies and advice are updated as and when new scientific information becomes available.
With respect to vaccination policies, you need to be able to:
During an epidemic, an infectious disease such as influenza spreads very quickly. Epidemics can be prevented if a high proportion of the population has been vaccinated. This reduces the number of people who are able to catch the disease and pass it on to others. The more infectious the disease, the higher the proportion of the population that must be vaccinated to prevent the epidemic.
With respect to vaccination policies, you need to be able to distinguish what can be done, ie what is technically feasible, from what should be done. For example, smallpox is the only disease that has been eradicated from the planet by vaccination. This was possible because smallpox is spread by direct contact, and not through the air.
This made it possible to vaccinate enough people in the world to completely stop the disease from spreading.
Some other diseases are more infectious but if we could vaccinate a sufficient number of the world's population we could, in theory, eliminate the disease. However, at the moment this is not technically feasible because we do not have enough vaccine, some areas of the world are at war and inaccessible, and some people would refuse to be vaccinated.

Made these as part of an appy night for 3 (the DM, DS and myself) and served with sweet and sour sauce. With the 2 breasts and the tenderloins from them I got 12 rolls and as my 12 shrimp were more medium than small I ended up with nearly half the mix over (will use in steamed dim sums tomorrow). We all thoroughly enjoyed and gave it the big five up. Thank you Sue L, made for Newest ZAAR Tag.

Brilliant service with 123-Reg, will never fade away from them, they been brilliant! I would recommend this service to friends, family and to other people for running as many websites as you wanted as they brilliant with the fast contact service which is available with their live chat function. Their staff are kind and they get the problems and your questions sorted. 100% for their loyalty and hard work. I liked how they can be always there to help you and allow many functions for your needed services. I would of liked to know before hand that their services are easier and more wider as it would of made me choose 123-reg straight away, but no matter what they got my attention at the end of the day and thats why I chose 123-Reg.co.uk. If they could include some more extra domains such as .fm etc. that would be brilliant. Recommended to all buyers and people needing to get a website set up! I use the product where everything is unlimited, I suggest this is the best one for you people!

DiDio & Lee Says DC Will Take the Time to Do "Watchmen"/Rebirth Story 'Right'
Comic Books
Whether or not you're a fan of Batman: Arkham Knight, we can probably all agree the video game's Batmobile is pretty badass. We've seen it deployed in Grand Theft Auto V, and even reinterpreted as a go-kart. But now a brick fanatic has recreated the Dark Knight's signature ride in highly detailed LEGO form.
In the films, Bruce Wayne has Lucius Fox to provide him with those wonderful toys, and in real life, a Batman fan named Francis has the builders of AWE me.
PlayStation teamed with the YouTube channel for a contest to reward one lucky gamer with a one-of-a-kind go-kart inspired by the Caped Crusader's ride in Batman: Arkham Knight. And Francis, a systems engineer from San Diego won.
If you missed out on the original 1966 Batmobile when it sold at auction in 2013 for a staggering $4.62 million, here's your second chance.
Robb Report notes that the customized 1955 Lincoln Futura concept car from the Batman television series is for sale once again, this time in the Barrett-Jackson showroom in Scottsdale, Arizona. However, it's not listed at the same Bat-price. It's gone up.
After a long night of crime-fighting, there's nothing better than kicking back and relaxing while your butler brings breakfast, the morning newspaper and … your enormous Batmobile house slippers.
Based on the vehicle from Tim Burton's 1989 film Batman (obviously!), these officially licensed slippers are designed for comfort, if not necessarily speed. It's difficult to imagine springing into action with those on your feet …
Following Funko's Pop! vinyl two-pack, we now have a look at the second toy tied to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice — the LEGO DC Super Heroes New Batmobile.
Based on the vehicle from the upcoming Warner Bros. film, the playset will be displayed next week at Comic-Con International in San Diego, but The Wall Street Journal reports it won't be available for purchase until Jan. 1.
Everyone undoubtedly has a favorite Batmobile, whether it's the one from the 1966 television series, the Tumbler from the Christopher Nolan movies or any of the numerous comic book incarnations (I'm fond of the one created by Frank Quitely for Batman and Robin #1). However, there's something undeniably special about the Batmobile designed by Anton Furst for Tim Burton's Batman. It's probably those glorious wings.
Whatever the case, it continues to inspire more than 25 years later, as we can see with this incredible custom motorcycle trike created by Game Over Cycles in Lubaczów, Poland. It even has a seat for Robin.
If that $1 million replica of the Dark Knight's Tumbler is a little outside of your price range, we've found a Batmobile that may work within your budget. It just requires a bit of imagination and a lot of bravado.
Jalopnik spotlights a Craigslist entry for a 1991 Geo Tracker convertible that, for reasons not entirely clear, was transformed into a Batmobile perfect for a crime-fighter not overly concerned with striking fear in the hearts of evil-doers.
Hello and welcome to Shelf Porn, our weekly look at a fan's collection. Today's shelves come to us from author David Peck in the UK, who shares his collection of Batmobiles, figurines and more.
If you'd like to see your collection right here on ROBOT 6, you can find instructions at the end of this post.

Libraries | Michael Cavna talks to Drama creator Raina Telgemeier and Charles Brownstein of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund about graphic novel challenges in libraries and why Drama made the American Library Association's 2014 list of 10 most challenged books. [The Washington Post]
Political cartoons | The East African cartoonist Gado has been let go from the Kenyan newspaper The Nation, apparently due to pressure from the government. The move came after the newspaper's owner met with President Uhuru Kenyatta, who's been pushing the publication to drop some its contributors critical of his government. Gado's cartoons about various scandals, and his depictions of the president as a prisoner with a ball and chain and as a turbaned Sikh (following an attempted land grab that involved four entrepreneurs named Singh) have clearly hit a nerve.

A replica of the Batmobile from the 1966 Batman television series could bring as much as $175,000 this weekend at a car auction in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Purported to be only the sixth Batmobile replica produced, by Jay Orhrberg Hollywood Cars, it was used in a U.S. tour warning children of the dangers of alcohol and drugs.
A Batcycle replica is expected to sell for somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000.
That state-of-the-art iPhone 6 you stood in line for is practically the size of a small car, so it might as well be a stylish car. Say, the Tim Burton-era Batmobile?
For $50, you can by a case that not only protects your smartphone but also transforms it into a detailed replica of Michael Keaton's sweet, sweet ride, complete with LED lighting … and a projector that actually casts the Bat-Signal! As Gizmodo points out, a little utility belt covers the phone's home button, while pop-out front wheels give access to its camera lens.
Don't think of it as something that makes your bulky iPhone 6 even bulkier; think of it as a conversation starter! "Excuse me, I think that Bat-Signal is for me …"
The earliest known licensed Batmobile — a customized 1956 Oldsmobile 88 built in a New Hampshire barn — sold at auction over the weekend for a whopping $137,000.
As we noted last month, the vehicle has more humble origins than the iconic Lincoln Futura concept car created by George Barris for the 1966 Batman television series: Completed in 1963, it was built from the ground up by 23-year-old Forrest Robinson and his friend Len Perham simply to drive around.
Although George Barris' Lincoln Futura concept car achieved iconic status on the 1966 Batman television series, it wasn't the first Batmobile. That honor apparently goes to a customized 1956 Oldsmobile 88 built in a barn in New Hampshire and later sanctioned by DC Comics. And now it's up for sale.
According to Heritage Auctions, 23-year-old Forrest Robinson began conceiving the car in 1960 — simply to drive around himself – and then enlisted his friend Len Perham to help build it. Their Batmobile, originally painted "space-age silver," was completed in 1963, two years before Barris began work on the car for the TV show.
We've seen Shelf Porn collections that focused on creators like Moebius and characters like Thor recently, but this one may be a first. "My collection might be a bit different than everyone else's as the main focus is not a character or book, but a vehicle!" said Todd, who runs the Batmobile Collector website and shares his collection of Batman's famous vehicle with us today.
If you'd like to see your collection featured here, you can find submission details at the end of this post.
And now here's Todd …
For Batman Day, and the start of Comic-Con International, LEGO has unleashed a one-two punch on fans of the Dark Knight: the LEGO Super Heroes: DC Comics San Diego Comic-Con Exclusive Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile and the giveaway Batman of Zur-En-Arrh minifig.
Priced at $39.99, the Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile comes with the 1960s-style Caped Crusader minifigs. While that set will be readily available this week at the LEGO booth (#2829), convention attendees will have to rely on some luck to get their hands on Batman of Zur-En-Arrh.

Royal Mail will hire 1,000 employees and expand package-processing hubs.
Online sales in the U.K. will account for 12.4% of gross domestic product by 2016, according to consultancy Boston Consulting Group. To expand its services to online retailers, The Royal Mail Group Ltd., the U.K.'s postal service, is investing 75 million pounds (US $120 million) in its package delivery businesses and hiring 1,000 workers to focus on its delivery operations.
With the investment, Royal Mail will build a package-processing center in Chorley, Lancashire, U.K., to add to its hub in Coventry, West Midlands. It also will open two depots in Cornwall and Hampshire, with plans for nine others to be either expanded or moved to larger sites over the next four years. It's also upgrading its information technology systems.
"Our investment is part of Royal Mail Group's strategy to grow its parcels businesses in the U.K. and overseas," says Royal Mail Group CEO Moya Greene. "Our strategy is to convert the rise in parcel volumes to profitable growth. That means becoming a much more customer-focused company being run on commercial lines and investing in new, vital technology. The investment will enable Royal Mail Group's express parcels business to meet the rapid growth in demand in the business-to-business, business-to-consumer and consumer-to-consumer markets."
In August, Royal Mail Group and GLS, its European package delivery business, formed a partnership with ZJS Express, a Chinese delivery company, to create a gateway to Europe for Chinese businesses. As part of the agreement, Parcelforce Worldwide, a division of Royal Mail that operates b2b and b2c delivery services in the U.K., will deliver packages to British consumers for GLS and ZJS packages coming from mainland Europe and China.
Royal Mail Group's parcels businesses—excluding Post Office Ltd., the retail store and post office division of Royal Mail—accounted for 4.2 billion pounds (US $6.7 billion) or 48% of total revenues for the group in its last fiscal year. Royal Mail says its U.K. package delivery volume grew by 6% and revenues by 10% this year compared to last. That's partly a result of U.K. consumers buying more online. U.K. online sales increased 20% to rise to 76 billion pounds (US$ 121.6 billion) over the past year, according to IMRG, an e-retail trade association in the U.K., and consulting firm Capgemini.

Period: Late Republican
Date: ca. 50–40 B.C.
Culture: Roman
Medium: Fresco
Dimensions: Overall: 70 x 40 1/4in. (177.8 x 102.2cm)
Classification: Miscellaneous-Paintings
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1903
Accession Number: 03.14.7
This fresco from the villa at Boscoreale depicts a woman clad in a white chiton and blue cloak, and holding a gold shield in her right hand. The front of the shield shows the image of a standing nude male figure who is adorned with a white headband, the same as those worn by Hellenistic dynasts. This small male figure has been described as a reflected image on the shield, a popular motif in Hellenistic art. However, since there is no image in the fresco cycle that corresponds to a reflection, the figure should be understood as an apparition, which, in antiquity, was viewed as prophetic. The small apparition with a portraitlike head in this particular fresco may refer to a Hellenistic royal heir, and the woman bearing the shield may represent a priestess or prophetess.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I used to be a diehard yankee hater but I think they've had their ****s in the dirt long enough to actually appreciate this win. Yeah they're mostly still a bunch of over-paid egotistical prix but they beat a really REALLY good team and had to work for it for the most part.
I have a friend from upstate who is a life-long yankee fan...not some hat tilting knuckle dragging spouting off at the mawth bronx till death type, but a real fan born in pinstripes, and she helped me see the Yanks in a more positive light. Especially Jeter, I used to think he was the biggest prick but she laid down all his community work and stuff for me and kind of turned me around on him, they don't just hand out the Palmero award for nothing you know?
A-Rod is still a jackass though, someday I'd like to see him cry like that for having had his ass kicked.

Well, the highest paid team is expected to win... just wish my phillies could have pulled it out. Until next year.
'; pd[45884] = '
There's a reason why there has only been 1 team to repeat in the last 87 years and that reason has been validated, I love the Phillies, I've been a die hard Philly fan since I was little and it was heartbreaking to see them lose a series that I know they had every chance of winning, but you have to hit and bring home baserunners to win the game and have a strength in you bullpen, it's too bad Romero's season turned out the way it did, I think he could have had an impact in the bullpen this series. And don't get me started on Lidge and Hamels, maybe if he wasn't so involved in making Comcast commercials, he could have trained a little harder and pitched like the pitcher he has the potential to be. Congratulations to the New York Yankees, although I don't particularly like their team, they did what needed to be done to win the World Series and that's why they are 2009 World Champions of baseball and my team is the first loser.

I love baseball and Im a die hard orioles fan.....nough said
The biggest market teams are able to pick players off a shelf and throw them in a lineup. Its more about individuals and seems as though there is no team identity anymore.

The government of Ukraine plans to significantly reduce tariffs on container shipments via the trans-Caspian international transport route.
18 Feb 2016
The government of Kazakhstan expects container traffic via the Khorgos-Eastern Gate dry port to rise by 200,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units this year due to its location on the China-Europe rail route, which is growing in popularity with shippers, according to an official spokesperson of JSC Kazakhstan Temir Zholy, Kazakhstan's national railway.
25 Aug 2015
China and Kazakhstan are working to more than double containerized rail traffic bound for Europe via the launch of the Trans-Caspian international transport route connecting China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey.
06 Aug 2015
The latest multimodal option introduced to the One Belt, One Road trade initiative linking China and Europe comes from the Caspian Sea port of Baku in Azerbaijan that this week greeted the arrival of its first block train.
04 Aug 2015
Shippers moving containerized cargo between China and Central Europe and Central Asia can soon tap a new transport corridor connecting China, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan via rail and a new seaport in the Azeri capital of Baku.
