Easy ways to get your business noticed … FOR FREE!
1. List your business on Google Maps/PlacesGoogle Maps/Places has become the new Yellow Pages and the place to get your business listed. At the moment it's still free and the fastest, easiest way for customers to find you.
They simply type in a business category – perhaps electrician plumber or florist – together with a postcode or a location to find the service they need.
While the listing is still free to grab, competition is strong. Google currently uses large amounts of information from Place Pages in its search results. So without a listing, your business could drop down the rankings.
Don't have a listing – sign up NOW! Got one already? Make sure it's as complete as possible, with strong customer reviews, pictures and videos about your business.
2. Review your website meta titles and descriptions
Tight on time and money? Your website Meta Tags are the single most important piece of search engine marketing you can do for your business.
Look at the title and description for each page of your website. Is the information up to date and appropriate?
Meta title tags appear in the first line of search engine results, followed by the meta description. You should have one title and one description for each page you want listed on search engines. Each title tag should contain the keyword or phrase you want the page to rank for. Keep titles to 60 characters or less.
Meta descriptions should be 150 characters or less. Write interesting and catchy descriptions to grab searchers' attention and encourage them to click through to your page.
3. Create new links to your business and see your ranking rise!
Has your website got a link strategy? Strong inbound links are one of the most important ingredients in getting a good search engine listing.
Think about getting a link with authoritative trade organisations or industry bodies. Lots of business directories will give you a free listing.
You could also write a short article about your business, industry, product or service and submit it to sites which take articles for free and link to your website. To find them, type "submit articles" into Google search.
4. Analyse your website traffic
Knowing who's visiting your site and what they're doing there is essential. Google Analytics remains a great free tool giving you access to scores of different reports on your website data and activity.
Armed with all this information, you can make the most of your online advertising budget or track which keywords and referrals are converting into real business.
Find out where your website traffic is coming from; examine e-commerce transactions and dissect AdWords campaigns and keywords.

• the numbered seal of warranty placed on the article during quality control prior to shipment is still present and intact on the product.

In this case, Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. will notify refusal of the return via e-mail, indicating where to collect the product.
9. Right of withdrawal and product return
The Customer may exercise the right of withdrawal contemplated by article 64 of the Consumer Code. It is in the interest of Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. for the Customer to be able to exercise this right of withdrawal in the best possible conditions.
The Customer may exercise the right of withdrawal within 20 (twenty) calendar days of the order delivery date, as certified by the shipper and indicated using the methods shown on http://www.pennyblack.com in the "Returns & Exchanges" section, where the conditions and actions necessary for exercising this right and the times, methods and any costs of the return operation are also indicated.
Within 10 (ten) calendar days of the withdrawal request as indicated above, the Customer may therefore return the products in the same conditions in which they were received, according to the instructions on http://www.pennyblack.com in the "Pristine conditions" section.
Return is considered as having taken place when:
• the articles being returned have been delivered to the express shipper, if the Customer has decided to use the goods return methods arranged by Diffusione Tessile S.r.l;
• the articles being returned have been delivered to personnel authorised by Diffusione Tessile S.r.l at the address and in the times communicated to the Customer, if the Customer decides to arrange return independently.
If the right of withdrawal is exercised in accordance with the above conditions, the value of the returned products, equivalent to their purchase price, will be refunded to the Customer within 30 (thirty) calendar days, starting from the date when Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. has received the withdrawal request and, in any case, within 10 (ten) business days of the goods being returned.
A Customer who has used one of the product return procedures indicated in the "Returns & Exchanges" section is fully entitled to a refund of the price paid and may ask for the amount to be credited onto the credit card or into the PayPal account used to make payment.
It remains understood, in all cases, that, according to the requirements of article 67 of the Consumer Code (Legislative Decree no. 206 of 6 September, 2005), the product being basically in pristine conditions is an essential requirement for the Customer to exercise the right of withdrawal. If the products returned by the Customer are damaged, incomplete, deteriorated and/or used in a manner which does not correspond with normal diligence, such as not to be in pristine conditions, they will not be refunded.
10. Product replacement for a size and/or colour change
Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. offers its Customers the possibility of replacing the product purchased remotely through http://www.pennyblack.com with an identical product, and therefore solely and exclusively the same model with a different size and/or colour, if the replacement request is sent within a maximum of 20 (twenty) calendar days from receipt of the product, using the methods and in the times indicated in the "Returns & Exchanges" section of the website, where the conditions and actions necessary for exercising this option and the methods and any costs of the return operation are also indicated.
Within a maximum of 10 (ten) calendar days from the above communication, the Customer may therefore return the products for replacement, in the same conditions as when they were delivered, according to the instructions on http://www.pennyblack.com in the "Pristine conditions" section.
As specified in said section, according to requirements indicated as "Pristine Conditions", any products the Customer wishes to replace but which lack the numbered seal of warranty placed on the article prior to delivery or which are deteriorated, damaged and/or used in a manner which does not correspond with normal diligence will not be replaced.
11. Conformity - Warranty
In guaranteeing conformity of the products purchased, legal warranties are also applicable to sale of the Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. products governed by these general terms.
The legal articles concerning Customers' rights with Diffusione Tessile S.r.l. in the case of non-conformity of the products delivered and methods of applying them are indicated below:
« Article 129 of the Consumer Code:
1. The seller is required to deliver to the consumer products which conform with the contract of sale.
2. It is presumed that the consumer products conform with the contract if, where pertinent, the following circumstances co-exist: a) they are suitable for the normal use of goods of the same type; b) they conform with the description provided by the seller and possess the qualities of the good which the seller presented to the consumer as a sample or model; c) they have the normal characteristics and performance of a good of the same type, which the consumer may reasonably expect, taking into account the nature of the good and, if necessary, the public declarations on the specific characteristics of the goods made in this regard by the seller, the manufacturer or their agent or representative, particularly in advertising or on labelling; d) they are also suitable for the specific use intended by the consumer, as indicated by them to the seller in concluding the contract and which the seller has accepted, including for concluding facts.
3. There is no non-conformity if, on concluding the contract, the consumer was aware of the non-conformity in question or could not be unaware of it with normal diligence or if the non-conformity derives from the instructions or materials provided by the consumer.
4. The public declarations indicated in paragraph 2, letter c), are not binding on the seller when, including alternatively, it demonstrates that: a) it was not aware of the declaration and could not have discovered it using normal diligence; b) the declaration has been appropriately corrected by the moment when the contract is concluded, so that the consumer could be aware of it; c) the decision to purchase the consumer good was not influenced by the declaration.
5. Non-conformity deriving from incorrect installation of the consumer good is equivalent to non-conformity of the good when installation is included in the contract of sale and has been performed by the seller or under its responsibility. This equivalence is applied even when the product, designed to be installed by the consumer, has been installed by them incorrectly due to deficient installation instructions.»
« Article 130 of the Consumer Code:
1. The seller is liable to the consumer for any non-conformity existing at the moment of delivery of the good. 2. In the case of non-conformity, the consumer is entitled to have conformity of the good restored, at no expense, through repair or replacement, in accordance with paragraphs 3, 4, 5 and 6, or to a suitable reduction in price or termination of the contract, in accordance with paragraphs 7, 8 and 9. 3. The consumer may, at their own discretion, ask the seller to repair the good or replace it, at no expense in both cases, unless the remedy requested is objectively impossible or excessively expensive compared with another one. 4. For the purposes indicated in paragraph 3, a remedy is considered as excessively expensive if the seller sustains unreasonable costs compared with another one, taking into account: a) the value the good would have without the non-conformity; b) the extent of the non-conformity; c) the possibility of using the alternative remedy without any serious inconvenience for the consumer. 5. Repairs or replacement must be performed within a congruous time from the request and must not cause any serious inconvenience to the consumer, taking into account the nature of the good and the purpose for which the consumer has purchased it.
6. The costs indicated in paragraphs 2 and 3 refer to essential costs for restoring conformity of the goods, particularly with reference to the costs sustained for shipment, labour and materials.
7. The consumer may request, at their own discretion, an appropriate reduction in the price or termination of the contract in the following situations: a) repair and replacement are impossible or excessively expensive; b) the seller has not repaired or replaced the product within the congruent time indicated in paragraph 6; c) repair or replacement previously performed has caused serious inconvenience to the consumer.
8. Use of the good is taken into account in determining the amount of the reduction or refund.
9. After a non-conformity has been reported, the seller may offer the consumer any other remedy available, with the following effects: a) if the consumer has already requested one specific remedy, the seller is required to implement it, with the necessary consequences concerning the congruous period of time indicated in paragraph 6, unless the consumer accepts the alternative remedy proposed; b) if the consumer has not already requested a specific remedy, the consumer must accept the proposal or reject it and choose another remedy in accordance with this article.

«Article 132 of the Consumer Code:
1. The seller is liable, in accordance with article 130, when the non-conformity appears within two years of delivery of the good.
2. The consumer forfeits the rights according to article 130, paragraph 2, if they fail to report the non-conformity to the seller within two months of its discovery. Reporting the non-conformity is unnecessary if the seller has recognised or concealed its existence.
3. Unless proved otherwise, it is presumed that non-conformities which occur within six months of delivery of the good already existed at that date, unless this is incompatible with the nature of the good or with the nature of the non-conformity.
4. An action for recognition of defects not intentionally concealed by the seller may only be brought within twenty-six months of delivery of the good; a consumer who is ordered to fulfil the contract may nonetheless invoke the rights indicated in article 130, paragraph 2, provided that the non-conformity has been reported within two months of discovery and before expiry of the time-limit indicated in the previous sentence. »

kyshel 12-08-2013, 08:20 AMGood point, b-j-03.
We have done much better booking Star Alliance partner award seats through United, if we do our own research in advance
Hi O....Good for you. My UAL rep was very helpful but I had to show her the routing from the website. I was surprised they were not looking at the same
bonniejoy03 12-08-2013, 04:55 AMMaybe it's the season or maybe United wants as many MileagePlus miles used as possible before the devaluation in February.

EQUALITY IN THE COURTS: KY Court Awards Joint Custody to Non-Biological Lesbian Mother
January 22, 2010
Yesterday, in Mullins v. Picklesimer, the Supreme Court of Kentucky awarded joint custody to two former same-sex partners after finding that the non-biological mother was a de facto parent of her child. Because non-biological same-sex parents of a child are often not related to the child in the ways traditionally accepted by law – that is, by blood, marriage, or adoption – due to prohibitions on same-sex marriage or second-parent adoption in various states (including Kentucky), it is highly significant that the Kentucky Supreme Court recognized that a non-biological lesbian parent can have a parental relationship with her child.

The Editors
Amal El-Mohtar is a Canadian-born child of the Mediterranean, and would have you believe that her longing for fruit in all seasons is in no way the result of her having compromised her virtue with goblin men. She's currently finishing up a PhD on fairies in Romantic-era writing while living in Scotland, where, in the company of two black and white cats and their pet Glaswegian, she still drinks copious amounts of tea, plays harp, and reads books. She reads lots of books. In fact, it has been suggested by some that her editorial favour might be bribed by gifts of bookshelves. Such rumours are unsubstantiated, and are, of course, likely to be dirty, dirty lies... Still, dark shelves are best, preferably with an oak or walnut finish.
Amal's favourite colour is blue. She also keeps an LJ somewhat tidy. | |
Jessica P. Wick is an irritable lump, often found lurking in the dingy aisles of a chain bookstore (which, much like a chain-gang, can be a painful experience. "Do you sell books here?"), where she earns her bread. When she's not at the bookstore, she's serving time at a local college; when she's not there, she's invariably found squinting at a book. She lives just outside Los Angeles, where, if she climbs high enough, she can enjoy the sunset bouncing off the dome of smog, and has been known to mistake falling snow for seeds. Anybody could have made the mistake. Anybody!
Just slightly relevant: She's enamoured of e.e. Cummings, Pablo Neruda, H.D., Gerard Manley Hopkins, John Donne, Rosanna Warren, Lucille Clifton, Nicholas Christopher and Lisel Mueller. Especially Lisel Mueller. She has given at least five people a copy of Lisel Mueller's Alive Together, and would probably give it to you, too, if she knew you. | |
Oliver Hunter is shamefully lazy most of the time, but ever so often his fingers crackle and itch and before you know it he has filled sketchbook upon sketchbook with page upon page of curious drawings, which he later aims to show to his future psychiatrist as evidence of how much he actually enjoys being a mad genius. He is also preturnaturally fond of long sentences. Oliver likes books. His room is a refuge for every genus and species of book. They pile up and make bookstands and reading chairs, which is handy. His problem is simply that as soon as he begins reading, he simultaneously feels the urge to draw.
He also fancies tea and toast, eggplant, ukuleles, Anais Nin, Tom Robbins and owls. When he is not drawing, Oliver studies and works and goes happily loopy singing duets with blackbirds. His favourite colours are tactile, audible, edible and fragrant. You can check out his brand new site. |
Caitlyn Paxson was raised by folk musicians and artists on a farm in Michigan, where she was taught to play the harp and grow heirloom tomatoes. She spent several key developmental years searching for faeries and werewolves in various European countries, but eventually gave that up to immigrate to Canada and live with a magician. By day she is the Managing Artistic Director of the Ottawa StoryTellers, and by night she writes novels and may or may not be learning to play the banjo. If you ask her nicely, she might tell you about the summer she spent working as a shepherdess. She knows more gloomy ballads than most people twice her age. | |
Dmitri Zagidulin, our Wanton Web-Beast of Wish Fulfillment, has, over the last two years, earned himself the titles Indefatigable, Indispensible, Incomparable, Tireless, Heroic, Gentlemanly, and Distinguished. He is most at home on islands and the waters in between; if you see him running, be warned that he is most likely to be the one in pursuit. When not raising fey orchards with his fingers' mighty tips, he has been known to play Invisible Games and translate Russian fairy tales into English. His favourite fruit is the cherry, and it is rumoured that he once ransomed his bride-to-be with a song. |
