COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Ghana is a developing country on the west coast of Africa. The capital is Accra. Tourist facilities are available in the population centers of the greater Accra region, Kumasi in the Ashanti region, and in the Cape Coast area of the Central region. They are limited in the more remote areas of the country. English is the official language. Read the Department of State's Fact Sheet on Ghana for additional information on U.S. - Ghana relations.
SMART TRAVELER ENROLLMENT PROGRAM (STEP) / EMBASSY LOCATION: If you are going to live in or visit Ghana, please take the time to tell our Embassy about your trip. If you enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), we can keep you up to date with important safety and security announcements. It will also help your friends and family get in touch with you in an emergency.
Address: The U.S. Embassy is located at No. 24 Fourth Circular Road, Cantonments, Accra.
Telephone: (233)-(030) 274-1000
Emergency after-hours telephone: (233)-(030) 274-1775
Facsimile: (233)-(030) 274-1362 or 274-1426
ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: A passport and a visa are required, as is evidence of a yellow fever vaccination. Passports should have at least six months validity. Travelers should obtain the latest information and details from the Embassy of Ghana, 3512 International Drive NW, Washington, DC 20008; telephone (202) 686-4520. Consular services are also available at the Ghana Permanent Mission to the United Nations at 19 East 47th Street, New York, NY 10017, telephone (212) 832-1300; and the Honorary Consulate of Ghana, 3434 Locke Lane, Houston, TX, telephone (713) 960-8833. Overseas, inquiries should be made at the nearest Ghanaian embassy or consulate. Visit the Embassy of Ghana website for the most current visa information.
As of August 31, 2013, all foreign nationals who are over six years old and who have been physically present in Ghana for a cumulative period of 90 days or more during a calendar year are required to register with the National Identification Authority (NIA). NIA will issue registered foreign nationals a Non-citizen Ghanacard. The Non-citizen Ghanacard will be necessary for all transactions that require identification, i.e. opening bank accounts, obtaining work permits, acquiring driver's licenses, etc.
A list of permanent registration centers, fee requirements and answers to frequently asked questions can be found on the NIA website.
The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to or foreign residents of Ghana.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page.
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: Due to the potential for violence, U.S. citizens should avoid political rallies and street demonstrations and stay aware of their safety at all times.
There are a number of ongoing chieftaincy disputes in Ghana that generally involve competition over limited resources. Several of these disputes have erupted into violence and unrest during recent years, most notably in Yendi in the Northern Region and Bawku in the Upper East Region. Visitors should exercise caution when traveling in these areas and remain alert to outbreaks of unrest.
Travelers should also be aware that the standards of construction are often lower than those found in the United States. These lower standards have contributed to building collapses, fires, and reports of electrical shock, including the death of a Westerner from electrocution at the Stellar Lodge in Takoradi (Ghana's Western Region).
Stay up to date by:
CRIME: Pick-pocketing, purse-snatching, and various types of scams are the most common forms of crime confronting visitors. Travelers have reported these types of theft at crowded markets, beaches, parks, and tourist attractions. Incidences of violent crime, such as armed robbery, are on the rise, including reports of armed robberies in expatriate residential and shopping areas, specifically the Osu and Ablekuma/Dzorwulu neighborhoods after 10 p.m. Victims who resist attackers run a high risk of serious physical injury. Take security measures, such as traveling in groups and avoiding travel at night. Avoid travel in communal taxis. Travelers who limit their display of jewelry and handle their cash discreetly reduce their vulnerability to crime. Pay close attention to those around you or following you, particularly after exchanging money, making a purchase, or withdrawing money from an ATM. Travelers should carry limited amounts of cash and only photocopies of key documents.
Thefts of both luggage and travel documents occur at Kotoka International Airport in Accra and in hotels across Ghana. All U.S. citizens should ensure that documents are kept secure at all times (including when leaving the airport) and that baggage is never left unattended. Travelers should be wary of all offers of unsolicited assistance at the airport unless from uniformed porters or officials. All permanent staff at the airport are issued current ID cards bearing their name and photograph. ID cards without a photograph are not valid. Travelers who are met at the airport should confirm the identity of their driver, either by requesting proper identification or otherwise verifying that the driver is an official from an organization or a hotel. There have been increasing incidences of impostors who approach travelers before the main arrivals area claiming to be the traveler's driver or contact. The impostor will have obtained the traveler's name from the board displayed by the official driver in the arrivals area outside the airport. The impostor then attempts to extort money from the traveler once the traveler is in the impostor's vehicle.
Use of credit cards in Ghana should be avoided if possible, as a growing number of travelers have been victims of credit card fraud.
In recent years, U.S. citizens have reported substantial financial losses from questionable transactions involving gold and other precious metals. The Government of Ghana maintains strict regulations on these natural resources. All agents must be licensed and all transactions must be certified. (See Special Circumstances below.)
Perpetrators of business fraud often target foreigners, including U.S. citizens. Such fraud schemes are now prevalent throughout West Africa, including Ghana. Please refer to the Country Commercial Guide for Ghana for further information.
U.S. citizens frequently consult the Embassy regarding questionable business offers sent from Ghana. These are scams and typically begin with an unsolicited communication (usually by e-mail) from an unknown individual who describes a situation that promises quick financial gain, often by assisting in the transfer of a large sum of money or valuables out of the country. A series of "advance fees" must be paid in order to conclude the transaction, such as fees to open a bank account or to pay certain taxes. In fact, the final payoff does not exist; the purpose of the scam is simply to collect money from the victim. The Embassy has also received reports of fraudulent charities soliciting contributions through the Internet or direct mail. If you receive such business offers or charity requests, carefully check them out before you commit any funds, provide any goods or services, or undertake any travel. Check with the U.S. Embassy in Ghana at telephone (233)-(030)-274-1443/1449 for an assessment of the offer's credibility.
Another type of fraud is committed by persons claiming to live in Ghana or traveling to Ghana on business, and who profess friendship or romantic interest over the Internet. Once a relationship has been established, the correspondent typically asks the U.S. citizen to send money for living expenses, travel expenses, or visa costs. Sometimes a "hospital"or "doctor" telephones to say that the friend has suffered an "accident" and needs immediate financial assistance to cover medical bills. There are other variations of this scam, but the common goal is to fraudulently obtain as much money as possible from the victim. U.S. citizens have reported losing thousands of dollars through such scams. The anonymity of the Internet means that the victim cannot be sure of the real name, age, marital status, nationality, or even gender of the correspondent. In most cases reported to the Embassy, the correspondent turned out to be a fictitious persona created to lure U.S. citizens into sending money.
Visitors to Ghana should also be wary of overly-friendly locals offering tours, discounted lodging, or other services that seem too good to be true. Tourists are often targeted by touts and scam artists. Some U.S. citizens have been victims of false criminal accusations and have lost time and money as they seek to resolve these difficult situations.
For additional information, please see the Department of State's International Financial Scams page.
Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, you may be breaking the local law too.
Although the Embassy is unaware of any attacks in Ghanaian waters, piracy in the waters of neighboring countries remains a problem. The Department alerts travelers to the threat of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea and advises caution if approached by an unknown vessel while at sea. See our fact sheet on International Maritime Piracy for further information.
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate (see the Department of State's list of embassies and consulates ). We can:
Ghana maintains a specialized Domestic Violence Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) within the Ghana Police Service to assist victims of domestic violence, especially women and children. In addition to its law enforcement responsibilities, the Unit can refer victims to medical providers and counselors, as well as to community support services.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Ghana is 191.
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in Ghana, you are subject to its laws. Foreign laws and legal systems can be significantly different than our own and may not afford the protections available to the individual under U.S. law. Penalties for breaking the law can be more severe than in the United States for similar offenses. In some places you may be taken in for questioning if you don't have your passport with you. In some places, it is illegal to take pictures of certain buildings. In some places, driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. These criminal penalties will vary from country to country. There are also some things that might be legal in the country you visit, but still illegal in the United States, and you can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated goods. Engaging in sexual conduct with children or using or disseminating child pornography in a foreign country is a crime prosecutable in the United States. If you break local laws in Ghana, your U.S. passport won't help you avoid arrest or prosecution. It's very important to know what's legal and what's not wherever you go.
Persons violating Ghanaian laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested, or imprisoned. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Ghana are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. The use of illegal drugs procured in Ghana may have life-threatening consequences. There have been several deaths of U.S. citizens resulting from the use of narcotics procured locally.
While some countries will automatically notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate if a U.S. citizen is detained or arrested in a foreign country, that might not always be the case. To ensure that the United States is aware of your circumstances, request that the police and prison officials notify the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate as soon as you are arrested or detained overseas.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Visitors arriving or departing Ghana with more than $5,000 in cash are required to declare the amount at the border. Currency exchange is available at most banks and at licensed foreign exchange bureaus, but currency transactions with private citizens are illegal. The Government of Ghana also prohibits departing travelers from carrying more than 5,000,000 cedis (500 Ghana Cedis) out of the country. Ghanaian currency must either be spent or exchanged before departure, or it will be confiscated.
Strict customs regulations govern temporary importation into or export from Ghana of items such as gold, diamonds and precious natural resources. Only agents licensed by the Ghana Precious Minerals Marketing Commission, telephone (233)(030) 266-4635 or 266-4579, may handle import-export transactions of these natural resources. Any transaction without the commission's endorsement is illegal and/or fraudulent. All transactions must be completed through the commission at the price set daily by the London exchange. Any transaction that discounts this price, or includes a previously negotiated price, is either illegal or fraudulent. Export of gold dust is rare as it encourages dangerous and environmentally destructive practices, and transactions involving the export of gold dust are probably fraudulent. Attempts to evade regulations are punishable by imprisonment. It is advisable to contact the Embassy of Ghana in Washington, D.C., or one of the Ghanaian consulates in the United States, for specific information regarding customs requirements.
In rare instances, visitors arriving in Ghana with sophisticated electronic equipment (e.g., video cameras and laptop computers) may have to deposit 17.5 percent of the item's value with the Customs and Excise office at the airport. To get the deposit refunded, visitors must apply to the Customs and Excise Office in central Accra 48 hours before departure.
Taking pictures near sensitive installations, including military sites and some government buildings, is prohibited. These sites are not always clearly marked and application of these restrictions is subject to interpretation. Permission may be obtained from Ghanaian security personnel. Permission should also be obtained before photographing anyone in uniform (e.g., police and military officers). In some cases, film and cameras have been confiscated. For security reasons, taking photographs of the U.S. Embassy is also prohibited.
It is strictly prohibited to wear any military apparel such as camouflage jackets or trousers, or any clothing or items that may appear military in nature.
If you are a woman traveling abroad, please review our travel tips on the Women Travelers page.
LGBT RIGHTS: Consensual same-sex sexual relations are criminalized as a misdemeanor in Ghana. Although the U.S. Embassy is not aware of any recent arrests or prosecutions for such activities, they remain illegal under some interpretations of local law. For further information on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) travel, please read our Information for LGBT Travelers page.
ACCESSIBILITY: While in Ghana, individuals with disabilities may find accessibility and accommodation very different from what you find in the United States. Ghana's Persons with Disabilities Act (2006) explicitly prohibits discrimination against persons with physical, sensory, intellectual, and mental disabilities in employment, health care, air travel and other transportation, and other domains. The government does not systematically or overtly discriminate against persons with disabilities, but such persons may experience societal discrimination. The law provides persons with disabilities access to public buildings "as far as is practical." However, most buildings, transportation, and educational facilities do not provide for people with special needs. Because many streets are not well maintained or unpaved, and sidewalks are not prevalent, individuals in wheelchairs or who have difficulty walking face challenges.
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Medical facilities in Ghana are limited, particularly outside Accra, the capital. Travelers should carry adequate supplies of any needed prescription medicines, along with copies of their prescriptions, the generic name of the drugs, and a supply of preferred over-the-counter medications. For information on avian influenza (bird flu), please refer to the Department of State's Pandemic Influenza Fact Sheet.
Documentation of Yellow fever vaccination is required upon arrival from all countries.
Motor vehicle accidents, drownings, and water-related accidents due to Ghana's rough surf have been reported by U.S. citizens. Muggings, and other violent attacks, as well as the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases - including HIV - are health and safety concerns that have been reported by U.S. citizens and can be at least partially mitigated by using common-sense safety precautions.
You can find information on vaccinations and other health precautions on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website, which also contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
Tuberculosis is an increasingly serious health concern in Ghana. For further information, please consult the CDC's information on TB.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your health insurance will cover you when you travel. It's very important to find out BEFORE you leave whether or not your medical insurance will cover you overseas. You need to ask your insurance company two questions:
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover doctors' and hospital visits in other countries. If your policy isn't valid overseas, it's a very good idea to take out another one, created especially for your trip. For more information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Ghana is provided for general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance.
Primary roads are generally paved and well maintained. However, some side roads within major cities and many roads outside of major cities are in poor condition. The road from Accra to the central region tourist area of Cape Coast continues to be the site of many accidents. Travel in darkness, particularly outside the major cities, is extremely hazardous due to poor street lighting and the unpredictable behavior of pedestrians, bicyclists and farm animals, particularly goats and sheep. Aggressive drivers, poorly maintained vehicles, and overloaded vehicles pose serious threats to road safety.
Another hazard is pedestrians who intentionally bump vehicles and pretend to be hit. They then attempt to extort money from the vehicle occupants. Scams of this nature most commonly occur in congested urban areas.
The safety standards of the small private buses that transit roads and highways are uncertain. Travelers are encouraged to consider this when making travel arrangements.
Armed robbers have targeted travelers following their arrival at Kotoka airport. An increasingly used tactic is to deliberately cause a minor road traffic accident to make a car stop, and to then rob the occupants. If your car is hit by another car it is best to drive to the nearest police station to sort out the incident. Otherwise, all drivers, particularly at night, should remain vigilant, and drive with doors locked.
There has been an increase in incidents of highway robbery on the road from Kintampo to Tamale in the Brong Ahafo and Northern regions. Travelers along this route should exercise due caution.
Travelers are routinely stopped at police checkpoints throughout Ghana, and vehicles and passengers may be searched. Drivers must possess an international driver's license (available from AAA and the American Automobile Touring Alliance). Foreign nationals should carry documentation of their status, such as a passport and a visa.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we suggest that you visit the website of the country's national tourist office.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the government of Ghana's Civil Aviation Authority as not being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Ghana's air carrier operations. Further information may be found on the FAA's safety assessment page.
CHILDREN'S ISSUES: Please see our Office of Children's Issues web pages on intercountry adoption and international parental child abduction.

Here's how it works. I'll say three things that are true about me right now. The next person copys one of my things that is true about themself and the next person copies one of their's, ect., etc., etc.
For example, I say:
I like to bake.
My toenails are painted.
I just put lotion on my hands.
The next person says:
I just put lotion on my hands.
I have a huge cd collection.
I love sandals.
The next person copies one of their's.... Y'all get the idea. Let's see how long we can keep this up. Remember, you have to go to the last post to see what they've posted that you can copy, okay?

Medicare Advantage: A good investment
Monday, January 2nd, 2012Medicare Advantage is the privatization of Medicare. Medicare Advantage will be killed by Obamacare, which reduces payments to these private Medicare plans. Or will it?
In actuality, insurance companies that are highly involved in Medicare Advantage did very well in 2011, as CNN recently reported.
Among the top-performing Fortune 500 stocks of 2011, three – WellCare Health Plans (WCG, Fortune 500), Humana (HUM, Fortune 500), and Centene (CNC, Fortune 500) — were health insurers with a high proportion of Medicare Advantage enrollees. WellCare's share price has nearly doubled while Humana and Centene are up about 50%.
UnitedHealth Group (UHC) and Aetna (AET, Fortune 500), each with significant shares of Medicare Advantage patients, also inked gains of more than 35% in 2011.
WellCare's enrollments jumped 10% in the third quarter, mostly due to an increase in Medicare Advantage members. The increase helped the firm nearly double its third-quarter profits and raise its 2012 outlook.
Humana also reported an 11% jump in third quarter revenue and boosted its 2012 earnings-per-share outlook by roughly 56% after enrollment outpaced the company's earlier forecasts.
So what do these insurance companies and their investors know that we, the general public, don't know? Who would think health insurance companies would be such a good investment with Obamacare already in place in some areas (no co-pays for preventive screenings; children up to age 26 allowed to stay on their parents' employer health insurance plans; reduced payments to Medicare Advantage) and Obamacare lurking on the horizon in others (the mandate; a limit on companies administrative costs, including profit)?

My daughter loves this toy. Nightmare Moon is one of her favorite characters. She plays with it with her full size Princess Cadence and Celestia. The only thing that I would change about this product is the phrases Nightmare Moon says. "These barrettes are fabulous!" and "I would love it if you brushed my hair!"? Come on. What makes Nightmare Moon fun is the fact that she is a NAUGHTY pony! It would have been more fun if she had said her catch phrase..."The night will last forever! Ha ha ha ha ha!!"

Elephant beetles certainly deserve their name; now you can see one at the Audubon Insectarium in New Orleans.
Gerald Herbert / AP
Zach Lehmann, visitor programs manager for the Audubon Insectarium, holds an elephant beetle, which is being exhibited at the facility in New Orleans. It's the first time the New Orleans bug museum has been able to get live elephant beetles since it opened in June 2008. Lemann said the beetles are hard to get because there's no regular supplier in Central America, where the beetles are native

I ran prime95 for 2 hours and well need to know what to take away from this . After 2 hours the only cores that moved were 1 and 2 ( or core 0 and core 1 ) and they did not go very far at all . But why ? Here take a look . So why don't the temps go below this ? And is this normal ? If so how do you tell just how hot / cold your CPU really is ?
Looks like you have a couple of stuck censors. Try using real temp and see if you get the same results.
Maybe you are just lucky and the sensors are screwed up, I mean the proc works right? So what if it gets hot its fine, just dont go nuts on it
Yeah but isn't this bad ? Shouldn't the sensors work right ? I mean how does the CPU know if it has hit the Tjmax ?
like I said, they "most likely" respond once the chip gets much closer to the maximum. Im not real sure you can RMA because of it either
Thank you . So really nothing to worry about then ? I will not be going crazy with my CPU OC . I was just thinking about all this and wanted to know if my CPU is going to fry because of bad temp probes . Thank you again . Yeah I lost the RMA factor the day I lapped it LOL .
Just for testing purposes try to OC harder (raise Vcore especially) and run LinX with All Memory. Maybe Core2 and Core3 will start moving. But TBH usually sensors stuck at lower values should work in load, yours seems stuck at 38C and it doesn't move at all.
I would say you are safe as long as you stay under around 1.45V from my experience with most 45nm and a couple quads I had. On water, I would have no issues with 1.5V, but I like to make parts cry I see unclewebb sniffed us out, I bet he may have some much better insight!
An Intel 45nm Core 2 based CPU with stuck sensors is nothing new or unusual. Yours are just stuck more than most because you are able to run your CPU so cool. Intel only designed these sensors to be reasonably accurate when they are within about 30C of the throttling point. You are a long ways away from that point which is why they are stuck. The first two cores are just starting to get hot enough at full load to start to move a little. With a few more degrees of heat, I'm certain the last two cores would start to move too. You can try running LinX. That usually creates a little more heat than Prime95 does on these CPUs. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=201670 Your CPU has so much temperature headroom that you don't have to worry one bit about your core temperature. That's a good thing. If I had a Quad running that good at 4+ GHz I'd be doing cartwheels. There is a separate sensor that also reports CPU temperatures. This other sensor doesn't have the sticking issues that the core sensors do. You can try a program like SpeedFan to read it. All it's going to tell you is that you have a very cool running Quad but you already know that. At least now you do. Here's the latest version of RealTemp 3.58.1 I'm working on. http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/3/1794507/RealTempBeta.zip and here's another handy program for laptops that burebista is liking http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/3/3/1794507/ThrottleStop.zip
Neah, I'm not just liking it I'm loving it. And it's not only for laptops, it's for all silent/undervolting/underclocking freaks out there. Finally I can retire my RMClock. /offtopic

Hi everyone. Been with my partner for 10 years. We talked about getting married early on in the relationship but never got around to getting engaged because of various things such as losing jobs, not having enough money for a wedding etc. We have not spoken about getting married or engaged for a few years now, he has always said he wanted it to be a suprise. Anyway, he found a new job last month and finally the money problems we had been having have now gone away. They gave him clothes to wear at work, he left for work in a rush this morning, and text me to ask if I would wash his work clothes as he will need them tomorrow. I got his clothes and just before putting them in the washing machine I checked his pockets in his trousers (Its a habit I have had ever since I washed his clothes once and he had left money in the pockets that ended up being put through the washing machine!) In the pocket of his trousers was a card from a jewelers, on the back of that was some notes he had made about the ring he has chosen, the price of it, how much he had paid off, and I am assuming the date he is about to propose as he wrote the date down and wrote next to it todays the day! etc and a reciept for the ring showing it has been paid off in full. The jewelers is near his new job. He remembered about it obviously because he sent me another text saying dont wash the clothes just leave them where they are and he would do it when he got home. I feel terrible because I saw this, I feel like I have ruined it all. Should I tell him what I saw, Maybe then he could change the date so I wont know when hes going to do it? or should I say nothing?
Congratulation,wish I can meet my mr.right as soon as possible!

Resulting in an explosion of conversions – an increase of 19,619%!
Read more Internet marketing success stories here .
When we first started in 1998, Internet marketing was fun and easy. Today it is fun and challenging. It is not enough to have talented individuals working on a Search Engine Marketing campaign. You will benefit from scientific methods and procedures we have in place to ensure continuity, scalability and successful results. Your campaign will have a team of dedicated professionals, each one specializing in a different aspect of web marketing:
Google AdWords and other Paid Campaigns
Google AdWords, Yahoo, Bing and other PPC campaigns are the most popular modules. They serve the following purposes:
- Keyword research. This is typically started at the beginning of a campaign to insure that SEO efforts are focused on the correct keywords
- Determining which message brings in the most sales or leads. Creative ad copywriting and testing are the important tools used for this
- Increasing traffic and sales. This method has a faster response time than other channels.
Most Internet marketing companies can implement the technical aspects of these campaigns. Our major advantage are competitive analysis and creativity methods used to insure that your ads out perform the competition.
Your SEO campaign typically starts at the end of the first stage of keyword research. Since SEO results usually take longer to see than PPC results, it is important to start as early as possible. The SEO module includes 3 elements:
1. Search Engine Friendliness. In many cases the search engines have trouble adding your sites web pages to its data base. We start your SEO process by removing obstacles to search engines scanning your site.
2. Link popularity. This is accomplished through:
- Link Bait. This is the most difficult and powerful method. It consists of developing something on your site which will attract links. Most of our resources are focused on this method.
- Traditional linking methods - Read more in our SEO 101 course
- SMO (Social Media Optimization or Web 2.0)
- PR release optimizing
- Creative thinking
3. On-site optimization. Includes optimizing for major traffic keywords as well as the long tail.
Although increasing traffic almost always increasing conversions, the conversion rate on most sites is not very high. Improving conversion rates can result in dramatic increases in sales.
If the web site has serious problems which frustrates users it is best to start with this before increasing traffic. Otherwise we may lose these visitors forever.
Personas are developed and copy is written to allay all their concerns. The site is then analyzed for conversion obstacles which are removed. This then becomes the starting point for A/B Landing page testing to improve conversions even further.
Measuring success is the glue that relates to all the other modules. We have developed proprietary web analytics methods and algorithms in order to judge campaign success. Search engine traffic, Google AdWords traffic, referrals from other sites, direct traffic, and lead optimization assumptions and tests are all monitored for success.
Reports are presented to you in an easy-to-read format with clear actionable items.
We have developed a task priority system to ensure that your campaign runs smoothly. We have internal weekly meetings to discuss your project. You are updated of all tasks accomplished as well as the benefits of these tasks.
Guaranteed Results.
It is very likely that you are missing out on potential clients if your Internet marketing is not at full throttle. We guarantee that your marketing leads will increase.

Cheap hotels near Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy
Considered one of the most important landmarks of Florence, the Palazzo Vecchio ("Old Palace") is Florence's town hall. The building stands at an impressive height in the middle of the Piazza della Signoria, which dates back to 1299.
Fortress-like and Romanesque, the structure is set off by an imposing clock tower. Today, you can visit a museum inside the town hall. Here, you can glimpse an original "studiolo" (a tiny, windowless chamber popular in Renaissance times), the palace's inner courtyards, upstairs apartments and a chapel. Make sure to gaze at the restored frescoes lining the place, gilded ceilings and all!
Michelangelo's David sculpture (now at the Accademia) stood here until 1873. Today, there's a replica outside the palace's front doors. Opening times vary so visit the Palazzo Vecchio's Web site for details.

One Cool Cat lost on his debut start, finishing 4th in a maiden race at the Curragh. He was soon on the winning trail with a victory in a maiden race at York Racecourse six weeks later. The Anglesey Stakes was his next race, and was the second in a string of four consecutive wins, following up in the Phoenix Stakes and National Stakes. Aidan O'Brien had been so impressed with his work at home and also on the racetrack, that he joked once, "I think I'll move him in beside me and knock a door in the bedroom to put him up for the winter!"
For his performance in the 2003 racing season One Cool Cat earned the Cartier Racing Award as Two-Year-Old European Champion Colt.
A return to 6 furlongs was a victorious one, beating The Kiddykid by a length in the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes, again at the Curragh, at the start of August. Just eleven days later, he started as favourite for the Group 1 Nunthorpe Stakes at York Racecourse, finishing 3rd, although may well have won with a better run. The Group 1 Haydock Sprint Cup was next on the agenda 2 weeks later, but the 3rd run in such quick succession was seemingly too much for him, and finished 6th, 3 lengths behind the winner Tante Rose.

Not this time though, not when Notre Dame beats Mercer a whopping 128-42. This was the highest scoring game in the school's history and moved the team to 13-1 for the season. They also set record for most points in a half (72), largest margin of victory (82), and most free throws made (43). Pretty amazing feat for any team to do, great way to end 2011.

The MAROON Vol. 64, No. 8 Loyola University, New Orleans, Louisiana 70118 October 18, 1985 S. African students in N.O.: The policy still hitting home By Mari Ban Assistant News Editor THE AGONY OF APARTHEID Oupa Mokuena can't cite a specific incident that prompted him to become involved in the fight against apartheid. He remembers always knowing — even at an early age — that he lived in an unjust society. "Even as a child I could tell something was wrong," he said. "You go to town and see big houses and wonder about things . . . why yours is so small and crowded . . . why you have to walk barefoot to school." But when Mokuena talks about injustice in South Africa, he doesn't use facts from the latest Newsweek or the evening news. Instead, he tells listeners what it was like living there, in a black township isolated from the entire white population, for the first 23 years of his life. Mokuena, vice president of the student government at Dillard University, devotes much of his free time to making people aware of the plight of South African blacks. He described his home in the township of Sebokeng, where his family of eight still resides. "We, like the other families in our township, live in a four-room, 'matchbox house,' " he said. "At night, every room becomes a bedroom." Mokuena, who came to New Orleans in 1983 to study, hasn't seen his parents or four sisters and brother since he left. "Communication is a problem," he said. "It takes about six months Students from Dillard University protest apartheid in South Africa in an Oct. 12 march. _ ~ " _ . photo by John McC usker Students agree to fund facility in narrow vote By Rene Sanchez Managing Editor Students voted to cure Loyola's parking headache this week, approving a referendum that asked them to help fund a new parking garage/recreation center on campus. The referendum passed with 53.5 percent of the vote. There were 825 "yes" votes and 718 "no" votes cast in the election conducted by the Student Government Association Monday and Tuesday. Students were asked to vote on a $200-a-year tuition increase ($lOO annually for part-time students) that would remain in effect for 25 years. The increase is to lend financial assistance to the $1.3 million annual debt created by construction of a new parking garage/recreation center. That project will cost $12 million. On Wednesday, the State Bond Commission approved the sale of $35.5 million in bonds for Loyola, $12 million which will be used to finance the construction of the new building. John L. Eckholdt, vice president for Business and Finance, said those bonds would have been recalled had the referendum failed. The new four-level parking garage will creatc 835 additional parking spaces on campus, a 135 percent increase from the available space now. Total campus parking will be 1,323 spaces upon completion of the project. In addition, the rec center portion would include a swimming pool as well as an expansion of all facilities now available. Since students approved the referendum, the university can now authorize an architect to begin drawing plans for the building, said Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs. The Board of Trustees will be asked to give final approval to the project at its November meeting, and demolition of the existing Rec Center should begin between mid-May and June 1 next year, he said. "It was fairly comfortable," Knipfing said of the referendum's passage. "It certainly wasn't a landslide, but I wasn't disturbed by it. Students realized that this was the only realistic attempt at a solution to the problem and without their support it wasn't going to happen." Byron Arthur, SGA president, said the small margin of victory for the referendum will not change the administration's plans for the project, or the way University to decide on AIDS policy By Rene Sanchez Managing Editor Loyola is preparing to set policies and educate the campus community about the deadly disease now alarming the nation — AIDS. "We don't want to play ostrich. We want to deal with it intelligently and compassionately," Jo An Yerger, administrative director of the campus health center, said. The university health committee will meet this month to shape guidelines Loyola would follow if a student or employee contracted acquired immune deficiency syndrome, which destroys the body's immune system and leaves it defenseless against even the most common ailments. "This is going to be a big issue," Yerger said. "It's something very serious, but we feel relaxed about it. We know we have a terrible epidemic that we don't have all the answers about, and we'll deal with that." Colleges around the country are now forming strategies to deal with an AIDS outbreak on their campuses. The American College Health Association soon will recommend AIDS policies to its member institutions. The University of Pennsylvania, for example, has already published a brochure for students titled, "AIDS — What All Students Should Know." AIDS is transmitted primarily by sexual contact among homosexuals. But uncertainty about how contagious the disease might be has spread panic outside gay communities and made AIDS the nation's number one health concern. Recent discoveries of the AIDS virus show it can be carried in body fluids such as saliva, semen, tears, feces, vaginal fluid, white blood cells, plasma and possibly sweat.

Real estate agent Cara Jones needs a celebrity handyman for her charity auction. Reclusive billionaire Richard Thompson is the perfect choice. All she has to do is find his trigger and trip it, without becoming emotionally attached.
Sometimes Go Awry
Richard wishes to be valued for himself, not simply for his money. He certainly isnt going to fall in love with a pushy, pie baking saleswoman, no matter how sweet she tastes.
Want another beer? Cara partially opened the fridge door, concealing her collection of week old takeout.
No thanks, twos my limit. He held up his empty bottle. Im driving.
Interesting. Cara grinned at the outright lie. The taxi driver letting you drive tonight?
One of the perks. His face reddened. How come you know so much about me?
Cara wasnt about to answer that loaded question. How come there was a message from my very excited father on my machine?
His head bent a little more over that cupcake he was mauling. How should I know?
Something about a delivery of baby back ribs ring any bells? He was thoughtful to send her dad, a complete stranger to him, the gift. He certainly didnt deserve the stingy label smacked on him by the press. But then, she already knew that. One of the things that first
Sorry, Quasimodo. He wouldnt meet her eyes.
Came from the account of one Richard Thompson, Cara prodded. Meat lover extraordinaire.
Damn identity thieves.
Cara had to laugh. The goof. She concentrated on her cupcake, suppressing the wild impulse to hug him. Him. A complete stranger.
And do other things, much less innocent. The few photos Cara found on the internet, horrid candid shots, hadnt prepared her for Richards subtle good looks, his long, lean body. He wasnt movie star handsome, but somehow she found him more appealing, more virile, and more male.
Combine that with his personality. Oh, sugar. The media had it all wrong there, too. Richard Thompson wasnt sullen and silent, but witty and engaging.
Maybe not so witty. She glanced up to find him folded behind the island, that butt of his sticking in the air.

"I am pleased to report that several distinguished residents of the Village of Lynbrook have agreed to serve as subcommittee chairmen on the 75th Anni-versary Committee," stated Co-Chairman Don Matzen.

Rock Rivalry Meeting Set East Rockaway High School alumni and anyone else interested in helping to plan a special event to honor the 50th Anniversary of Rock Rivalry are urged to attend a preliminary plan-ning session at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 17, 1985, in the High school JMSicxQOm. t e n n i a l Committee in a c c e p t i n g the c h e c k. O'Reilly then presented the students with photographs of the Statue of Liberty being restored. This is the first year that all four high school classes, g r a d e s 9-12, w o r k ed together on the Halloween party which has been a senior project in the past, "it was a concerted effort," Principal Dr. Kathleen Semergieff said. The high school is among the six schools in East Rockaway participating in the community fundraising effort to save the Lady. The schools kicked off their involvement in the drive on Oct. 28 when they joined (Continued on Page 13) Report by Annette Ling The good news at the Lynbrook Board of Trustees Meeting held on Monday, Dec. 2, 1985 at 8 p.m. was . that the Village of Lynbrook has a tentative price of $85,000 for the LILCO light-ing system in Lynbrook which will mean a savings in user costs of $120,000 per year according to Mayor Bill Geier who announced the purchase offer. How-ever, the amount is tentative because LILCO insists that Lynbrook must publish bid specifications for the light-ing system and accept bids. Lynbrook has suggested this because of problems they have had in the past in their municipality dealings. This is also because of state laws mandating the bidding procedure as well. As a result of the survey of Lyn-brook's lighting system done by John Cameron & Co., the Lynbrook Board of Trustees feels that it would be much more advantageous to buy the system because LILCO's a n n o u n c e m e n t that it intends to go out of the street lighting business alto-gether. By the purchase of the LILCO street lights. Mayor Geier hopes to reha-bilitate the lighting aJong Sunrise Highway, Atlantic Ave., Broadway, and Mer-rick Rd. A date of Jan. 6, 1986 was set for the formal Bid Opening. Earlier in the Board meet-ing bids were opened for surplus Sale of Equipment such as Rifles, Shot Guns, and Vehicles with the final bids to be determined after study by Police Chief Frank Kehr in the matter of the guns and on the surplus veh-icles by D.P.W. Supt. Jack Woessner. One extra matter came up when one of the bidders for the DPW vehi-cles asked for further con-sultation and clarification with the DPW, on the bid wording and specifications. (Continued on Page 13) A special orie-night event of selected highlights of Rock Rivalry entrances "through the years" to be performed by past graduates from each decade is being explored for possible pres-entation in February or April. "We have heard from groups from the classes of 1979, 1975, 1969, and 1956," said School Board member. Richard Meagher, "and individuals who range all the way back to the very first Rock Rivalry." Meagher is serving on a Board commit-tee, along with Board Presi-dent John van Houten and Board Vice President Elaine Boll, all three of whom are graduates of East Rockaway High School, to "sound out" the degree of community interest in such an event, Ed Power, Class of 1975, indicated strong support for such an event was evidenced at his class's 10th anniver- ..saiY-rcunitiniigld durinje^e Thanksgiving weekend. "We need to hear from more groups and more indi-viduals," said Meagher. "The 50th Anniversary of Rock Rivalry deserves spe-cial attention."

"We welcome everyone's p a r t i c i p a t i o n , " ^ said Meagher. HERJC Damaged By Fire The Hewlett East Rocka-way Jewish Center was moderately damaged by a fire that raged out of control last Tuesday, December 3. The fire which forced the evacuation of approxi-mately fifty students from the school adjacent to the temple, and damaged a stor-age area above the kitchen as well as the roof, was brought under control in about 35 minutes. The East Rockaway fire department responded with 8 pieces of equipment, and assistance was received from the Oceanside fire depart-ment who sent an additional 3 pieces of equipment. In all about 100 fire fighters fought the blaze. Because Chief Cittadino could not immediately determine the cause of the fire the Nassau County fire marshal was called to the scene. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The rabbi and his assist-ants were able to move the Torah to a safe location, and efforts were under way to reopen the school and to have the temple ready for two weddings that were scheduled for the weekend. The East Rockaway fire department remained on the scene for about four hours to assist the marshal with his investigation and to insure the fire was completely^ extinguished. There were no' injuries as a result of the fire. Second Asaistant Chief Shelton surveys the damage to the Temple after the fire was extinguished.
