Bold is the fastest reel on the market and the first semi-automatic large arbor model to incorporate an inertia brake not attached to the reeling system.
Full replacement of reel in the event of failure during the first two years after purchase.Unlimited: Free repair (except for carriage costs) of any defect in the reel not caused intentionally.
Reliable and robust
Good technology is not enough on its own: it also needs to be reliable. In spite of all the improvements attained, the product must achieve the levels of reliability and robustness required by Thinkfish. A test protocol has therefore been developed that starts with a CAE study of the reel, both in the individual analysis of parts and components and testing fatigue in the whole unit. The results obtained have been magnificent, subsequently verified in field tests using a functional prototype.
Progressive surge brake: The brake is activated by drag when the spool turns as the line is fed out. This means that the braking system is activated when the line is fed out and deactivated when reeling in. Thanks to this feature, the brake acts independently of the reeling-in mechanism so its tension only depends on tippet strength.
Cone design: A cone design has been chosen to ensure that when regulated at points close to maximum, the brake is very powerful (resistance when reeling out). Progressiveness has been achieved by combining multi-disk technology with the cone concept.
It has taken BOLD four years of R&D, prototypes and tests to reach the market. The result of state-of-the-art technology, BOLD has been granted two worldwide patents. The ratios achieved position Thinkfish technology as the fastest on the market.
A truly effective LA can be achieved by gaining centimetres in the spool from the central geometric axis, but without increasing width. Greater width might affect the longitudinal balance of the rod and reel unit. The spool design is also totally open, so that normal and silk lines can dry as quickly as possible.
You can buy extra spools for Bold. These spools have the same characteristics and capacities as the original spools supplied with the reel.

Rig of the Day: Guitar on the wall
Judging from our Rig of the Day pool, MacBooks are very popular (in fact, I'm typing this on one). Anyway, continuing our theme of simple, I give you a rig that seems to be made for watching movies. The LG flat screen monitor hooked up to a MacBook running Front Row warms the cockles of my heart. The desk is even sporting a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. And is that an Apple sticker I spy on that guitar?

New iPhone or Not, Smartphone Owners Aren't Moving Up
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the release of the iPhone 5s, Apple (AAPL) is looking to get a jump on its rivals, including Google (GOOG), Blackberry (RIMM) and Samsung.
You can't blame Apple for pumping out newer and hopefully improved versions of its ubiquitous smartphone -- a standard setter if there ever was one in the history of great U.S. brands.
The stakes are high in that market, even as Apple seems to be slipping a bit.
New data from Framingham, Mass.-based IDC shows that smartphone makers shipped 236 million devices in the second quarter of 2013, up from 156 million units in the second quarter of last year. That's a 51% jump in total global shipments.
But Apple's share of those unit shipments is in decline, just as Android and Windows-based phones "managed slight increases" on a year-to-year basis, IDC says. IDC's chief technology analyst, Ramon Llamas, says the new iPhone release could allow Apple to play catch-up, but there's a new fly in the ointment that could slow smartphone sales across the board in the second half of 2013. Simply put, more and more U.S. mobile phone users are waiting to upgrade their devices. The "upgrade cycle" -- a term used by tech industry insiders to gauge the number of smartphone users ugrading to new devices -- has grown decidedly longer in the past year, reaching a market high of 22 months, according to BI Intelligence. The site says smartphone manufacturers need mobile phone customers to keep churning into new devices, but now those consumers are resisting. New data from American Express (AXP) via its Spending and Savings Tracker confirms that trend. According to data provided by American Express, consumers are not jumping to upgrade to the latest smartphones, despite seemingly constant technology launches.- More than half of respondents (53%) say it's not important to them to have the newest technology when it hits the market.
- Fewer than half of smartphone users have upgraded their phones, and a mere 8% of consumers say they upgrade right when a new model -- such as this week's new iPhone -- comes out.
- 35% of consumers who upgrade their phones wait until their contract is up to jump to the latest model.

text: Sun Prairie, Wis., June 19, 2005-California's Danny Stratton used a last lap pass to win the 25-lap Badger Midget Series feature Sunday Night at Angell Park Speedway. Stratton survived six restarts in the event, four due to red flags involving flipped cars. After a Kenny Adams opening lap flip caused a complete restart, Aaron Fiscus jumped into the lead closely followed by Stratton. Fiscus paced the initial six laps before Stratton moved in front, at the same time third place Jerry Coons Jr. retired with mechanical problems. The field was bunched up after a caution on lap nine for a three car accident. Scott Hatton moved into second on the 10th lap, two laps later Craig Carey flipped violently down the front stretch, escaping injury. On each restart Stratton pulled away from the field, only to see Hatton close on his lead after a few laps, with current point leader Davey Ray a close third. Rick Mueller, and Mike Hess escaped injury in separate flips on laps 18,and 21 of the event. Stratton again got a nice jump on the field on the restart with four laps remaining. On the 23rd lap Hatton pulled even with Stratton exiting turn two,and took the lead entering turn three. Hatton took the white flag as the leader, but drifted over the cushion in turn two, allowing Stratton,and Ray to pass him. Over the final half lap Stratton held his line and finished one car length ahead of Ray with Hatton an additional car length behind in third place. Chad DeSelle, and Brandon Waelti completed the top five. For Stratton who drove the Hans Lein owned Spike-Esslinger #2 entry it was his first career feature win at the facility. Ray holds a 39 point lead over Waelti heading into the June 26 event at the track.

anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
sorry if this seems a bit off topic, id post in the tablet section but i love the OV community and thought id share this.
A lot of my friends want a tablet to compliment their OV or optimus One phone and i thought of them as a small sub set of a larger statistic, maybe what I want to show would have more of an impact in this forum than in a tablet forum.
anyways, if youve seen the nextbook 7 premium at Big Lots and thought about buying it based on specs, read on
Thoughts on Tech: E-Fun NextBook 7 Premium Android tablet. My Thoughts
the OV community are very budget conscious ( or else we would not have gotten a OV on Virgin Mobile, am i right??) , and as such, we know how to get the best bang for the buck, so if you are looking for a companion device to the OV and want something cheap that will work well, read my link. if you have no budget and want something expensive, this clearly isnt for you.Thanked by 3: -

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
i picked up mine for 50$ NEW on craigslist (the guy got it as a gift, never opened, just sold it) thats the only reason I took the plunge.
well worth it, and if i had known how good it was, i would have no problem buying it new for 130 in store.
I tether to my Triumph when im out, and on wifi when at home.
to Mods and admins, I believe my reasons for posting here are valid and in hopes to only help the OV community. if you believe it should be moved, please just delete it instead. - 02-28-2012, 03:17 PM #3
Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
Everything I have seen lately has been you don't want anything less than a Kindle Fire or Nook Color. Anything cheaper is mostly just junk. They either fall apart, break the first time dropped or just plain work horribly.
If you are looking though, Asus has a new one coming out in a month or two (supposedly).
7in, Tegra3, $250, it put everyone's jaws on the floor at .E.S. when it was announced. Effectively putting just about every other tablet announced there to shame before they were even available. It also, may work like the Transformer.
If you can wait and afford it, this is the tablet you want.

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
When you buy a cheap no name tablet, you get a cheap no name talent. Its not to say its crap, but most of them aren't worth the plastic they are made with. Unrespoinsive, awkward designs, shoddy performance, weak internals. For what people want to do with a tablet, play games and watch HD content, its better to save a little and get more power.
Kindle Fire is a dual core tablet for $200 with the support of the largest online retailer in the world. The Nook tablet goes for $250 with a 1.2 dual core and the support of the largest book company in the world. The blackberry playbook and the HTC flyer are also cheaper tablet options that are more then powerful enough with community and OEM support.

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
leslieann and bdfull3r
your points are valid, which is why i was so surprised this tablet was so good considering its place in the market. its definately NOT for someone who has 200 to spend on a kindle fire. that was also the point i was trying to make. - 02-28-2012, 03:50 PM #6

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
That doesn't look to bad spec-wise, how is build quality, that has been a major issue with cheaper ones. Thing is, you aren't far from a Kindle Fire, so it should be decent. We aren't talking about a $100 tablet.
It still lacks bluetooth, I really wish more would include that.

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
that dropad he mentioned has similar specs to the one i was talking about in the first post, the one I bought
1ghz cortex A8 reference cpu.
GPU that is capable of major games like Modern Combat 3, so its around an Adreno 205 and definately more capable than the OVs adreno 200.
512 mb ram (least mine shows that in system info apps)
4gb internal storage, 1 for OS and 3 for user. new rom formats it to 1gb for os and 1 for apps, the last two are "sd card" and a real sd card is "external SD" in android.
5 point capacitive touch screen with no axis flipping or snapping. 480x800 7 inches.
Android 2.3 stock. cmon how many of the "cheap chinese" tablets came with that. its not 3.0 or 4.0 but its a good usable OS with nothing really broken and its nice and stable and definately more forgivable than 1.6 donut shippin on the CVS tablets.
taken as a whole, what you GET for what you PAY (130 new, 50-80 used) its pretty nice. for someone on a budget.
i really like mine, its almost unibody except for a small line around the edge. looks VERY similar to a kindle fire with 4 capacitive buttons on the button like the Galaxy Tab. also the left and right sides are slight wider, maybe a little over 1/8 inch on each side (more bezel) but it fits into every kindle fire case I was looking at in store.
pic of it
the stock launcher looks horrid but once replaced with launcher pro the homescreens become a heck of a lot more usable.
after installing a DROID3 build.prop, every high end game from the market works. even without the build.prop all apps show up and most work, even netflix. gameloft games didnt boot into the game though.
i guess i have to write this HERE because you guys seemed to comment without reading the linked-to page in the first post ;P
THESE are the reasons I was suggesting it as a cheap tablet, becuase it has good support and its CHEAPer than kindle fire (some of us dont have that much, heck, thats why we sprung for the OV in the FIRST PLACE right??? cuz we like a damn good deal?)
*edit, seems the pic i linked too is the "Nextbook Premium 9" a 9 inch tablet. It looks extremely close to the 7 i have, and that launcher and home setup is how mine came too. - 02-28-2012, 09:26 PM #12
I couldn't agree with Leslie Ann more.
I have a kindle fire, but I'm in no way a reader :P
Literally five minutes out of the box, I rooted it and put cm7 on it. On top of that, the popularity is getting devs attention. So within the first few months, there was miui, cm7, and cm9.

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
You're right, I didn't look at the specs or the picture on the one you posted.
Every review I have seen on anything much less than $200 has been junk, every single time. I have read so any reviews and complaints on them, I don't even look at them anymore. I looked at buying a cheap one just for temporary and to play, and even then, I was disappointed in what I saw, and I expected it to be disposable. I get it, some people can't afford the better ones, but almost universally, the people buying them end up having to replace them with something better sooner than later. At which point they could have just gotten something much better from the start.
Reminds me of my customers who (against my recommendation) repeatedly buy the cheapest new computer, then wonder why it's junk. If you only knew how much low end computers I replace every year you would freak. I cringe every time a customer says they just bought a new Acer/Gateway/Hp/Compaq/Dell. I already know in 2-3 years it won't be worth fixing. Meanwhile I have customers on other systems 4 and even 8 years old, that are still working just fine, and cost them almost nothing more.
As for the specs, specs aren't everything.
I work on computers and networks for a living, I can show you so many examples it will make your head spin.

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
My mother bought an OV last June and for Christmas I bought her a Vizio Tablet in lieu of upgrading her to a Triumph.
8" inch tablet with Google Apps and Android market for $165 including a leather case. I almost upgraded her to a Triumph but it was more expensive and can't wifi tether without rooting (and unfortunately you can't remotely tech support cell phones yet). - 02-29-2012, 08:03 AM #15
Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
What the OP said is fine and good...but I have been through the cheap tablets and I have the best cheap tablet out there. The nook color. I bought it back in August for $180 and cringed when I saw it for $116 around Christmas time. I got people good deals on it though so I feel good.
@watskyhotsky, Is it possible to post a video of this thing in action? Also where did you find this for $50? - 02-29-2012, 11:02 AM #17

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
yeah craigslist. but i see them on there a lot between 50-80
i also did research and made sure a good full root rom and a way to get android market were available before i bought anything.
(reviewers do NOT care for these when they get free copies of bigger tablets to test. the most they will say about these is the specs and slide thru some home screens on the stock rom and get it over with. in reviews for instance, no one mentioned anything about roms or android market for this tablet, that stuff was all found by digging through the seedy underground of XDA and other forums)
someone asked for a vid? took one.
my Triumph has a much better camera but the ICS rom doesnt have the camera working yet. so recorded with Optimus V lol

Re: anyone looking for a cheap tablet?
Hey! I'm not cheap and I use the $25 plan!
On Howards there was even a lawyer using it, (though I think he was just cheap).
If I used my phone more I could justify a more expensive plan, but the $25 one serves me well so why pay 3 times that.

Bon accueil de la part de notre hôte. A tenté de résoudre un problème au sujet de la télévision. sans solution avant notre départ. Le quartier n'est pas aussi silencieux que nous pouvions l'espérer. Bruits des bus pendant 24h, des trains car relative proximité de la gare. Bruits de nombreuses motos ou cris dans la rue tard dans la nuit du week-end. Proximité du tram, des bus, et de la gare qui permettent d'accéder rapidement et à faible coût à toute la région. Le logement est spacieux, coquet, lumineux et ne reste propre que par la bonne volonté des hôtes précédents, malgré tout le matériel de nettoyage à disposition.
Fanny's mom was waiting for us at the apartment after giving very easy directions on getting to the place from the train station. She greeted us and showed us around the very clean tidy place and pulled out a map for us to ask questions on where things were around town....told us about the bus/train system. Very hospitable! We had to ask for extra towels after the first night and found them in the apartment after coming back from being in Monaco all day. Really enjoyed our stay in Nice. Highly recommend!
We met Fannys mum at the flat, which was very easy to find, 5 mins from the train station. She was very helpful and talked to us about Nice and other places to visit and public transport. Supermarket and excellent bakery 2 mins away. Flat on 5th floor with lift, the pictures are a very good representation. There are some maps,info and guidebooks in the flat too which were helpful. The kitchen was well equipped with a microwave and a kettle too !( which we often miss on our travels) This was our 2nd Airbnb and both were fantastic. We really felt like locals.
L'appartement de Fanny est idéalement situé, proche de tout, dans un quartier vivant. Il est effectivement très sympathique et bien équipé pour un séjour confortable, l'accueil était également excellent. Nice en Décembre présente un charme particulier, nous reviendrons.
Very quick, easy, organised and efficient. All questions answered. Loved the idea of the information book.
Appartement clair et lumineux, très agréable, idéalement situé au coeur de la ville. Accueil efficace et chaleureux. Un très bon choix pour un agreable séjour.
Fanny's parents were very welcoming to us when we first arrived, and they told us quite a few of the good things to see in Nice. The apartment itself was nice and well located for day trips, because it was a short walk to the train station.
Ev sahibi son derece iyi ve hoş bir insandı. bizi çok sıcak karşıladı. sanki bir yakınımızın evine gitmiş gibi hissettik. Ev temiz güneşli sade ama ihtiyacınız olan herşey (website hidden) evden de ev sahibinden de çok memnun kaldık
Fanny was very communicative and prompt throughout the booking process and provided detailed instructions on accessing the flat even though she's not in the country. Her mother and father were extremely helpful with providing information and suggestions for our visit upon our arrival. The flat itself is quite spacious and was very comfortable for our five day visit. The only downside is the flat is located on a busy street so it was difficult to leave the windows open at night - luckily there was a fan provided to ensure air circulation.
My boyfriend and I spent 4 nights in Fanny's flat in Nice in October and we were very happy with the experience. We were greeted by Fanny's mother, who was very helpful in offering us tips about traveling in and around Nice. The apartment was exactly as it looks in the pictures, there were no surprises. The area was good for the price, the waterfront/Promenade was within 15-20 minutes walking distance and there were convenient bakeries and grocery stores very near the apartment. We would highly recommend Fanny's apartment for your stay in Nice!

The Cambridge History of China: Volume 10, Late Ch'ing 1800-1911, Part 1This is the first of two volumes in this major Cambridge history dealing with the decline of the Ch'ing empire. It opens with a survey of the Ch'ing empire in China and Inner Asia at its height, in about 1800. Contributors study the complex interplay of foreign invasion, domestic rebellion and Ch'ing decline and restoration. Special reference is made to the Peking administration, the Canton trade and the early treaty system, the Taiping, Nien and other rebellions, and the dynasty's survival in uneasy cooperation with the British, Russian, French, American and other invaders. Each chapter is written by a specialist from the international community of sinological scholars. No knowledge of Chinese is necessary; for readers with Chinese, proper names and terms are identified with their characters in the glossary, and full references to Chinese, Japanese and other works are given in the bibliographies. Numerous maps illustrate the text, and there are a bibliographical essays describing the source materials on which each author's account is based. |

> 2011 NFPA 70 Softbound NEC Code Book (#11PB)
NEC Revision Year:
Have NFPA 70, the 2011 National Electrical Code, at your fingertip. Softbound version.
Why You Need It
If you're doing electrical work, you need your own copy of the NEC. Why:
Drawings can easily contain code violations. You need to check the drawings before doing the work. That protects your company and it protects you.
When a question of "Can we do it this way?" arises, you'll be able to find the answer yourself.
If a question arises about something you did, you can look up the Code requirement rather than taking someone else's word for it.
And that copy needs to be current. Why:
The NEC is revised every three years. This is the Code cycle. Things change.
You may miss a requirement, and thus commit a violation.
You may do something in a more time-consuming or costly way than the NEC actually requires.
Spiral or Softbound?
Some people have both. Each has its advantages.
The spiral coil allows you to conveniently study by placing the book folded on your desk. It lies flat. You can even put it on a hook in your truck.
The binding gives the book a nice, rigid spine so you can stand it up on a bookshelf. It also fits into a briefcase or carrybag without snagging.
New and Improved
New Article 694 has first-time requirements for small wind electric systems.
Revised Article 625 includes updates on safe battery charging for plug-in hybrid vehicles that reduce the risk of explosion.
Revised Article 705 covers interconnecting generators, windmills, and solar and fuel cells with other power supplies.
New Article 840 addresses the increased demand for broadband communications systems with requirements for wireless, routers, and wireless disconnects.
More Safety
The 2011 Revision includes more safety requirements:
Means to reduce incident energy (240.87).
Labeling at subpanels to identify feeder supply source (408.4(B)).
Disconnecting means for transformers (450.14).
More Info
The NEC is divided into nine Chapters. The first four apply to all electrical installations. The last five apply to special cases. There, that makes it easier to work with already!

Bulgarian Drug Lord Sentenced to 7.5 Years behind Bars
The Sofia City Court sentenced notorious Bulgarian drug lord Evelin Banev aka Brendo to 7.5 years in prison on Friday.
Prosecutors had demanded a 12 year-sentence for Brendo, who was charged with heading an organized crime gang and money laundering.
His accomplices, Monika Dobrinova, Desislava Dishlieva and Simo Karaychev, received a 3-year suspended sentence with a five-year probation period.
Banev and the others are charged with launding over EUR 2 M using a personal account belonging to Konstantin Dishliev, owner of a firm called Private Finance Union, who was killed in 2005.
Dobrinova is Brendo's ex wife, while Dishlieva is Dishliev's widow. The prosecution believes they were part of an international drug money laundering ring.
Brendo has been in custody on charges of leading organized crime groups, and laundering money from drug trafficking and drug dealing; he is known as Bulgaria's "cocaine king".
Evelin Banev was recently extradited to Italy on organized crime and cocaine trafficking charges under a European Arrest Warrant, and the Italian authorities committed to flying him back to Bulgaria every time there is a court hearing.

©2000 by David Sedaris, All Rights Reserved; (P)2000 by Time Warner AudioBooks, A Division of Time Warner Trade Publishing
"At his best, he makes you laugh out loud, which indeed may be worth the price of admission." (The New York Times)
"So funny but missing great bits!!"
Sedaris' funniest work on audio, period. I've got it on tape, unabridged, and was looking forward to transefering it to my iPod. So disappointing! This is really missing whole chunks of great stuff. If you're new to Sedaris, it's a good start, no doubt; but "Live at Carnegie Hall" is probably even better. I listened at work and had my head on my desk I was laughing so hard.
"Wouldn't pick this book again"
Sorry to say, we were not laughing.
"Very funny"
This is my favorite book by David Sedaris. It is funny, insightful and poignant.
"Same drab style gets old about halfway through"
As mentioned in the title of this review, the author's drab style of writing and narrating gets old about halfway through the book. At a certain point I felt like I was hearing the same story just in different settings with different characters over and over again.
No. I don't find his style entertaining anymore after this book.
"Not funny"
This book was chosen after reading reviews and hearing that other reviewers thought this was Sedaris' best of the bunch of books; reportedly people would laugh out loud when listening to this book.
I dont get it. Not only did i not laugh, i think it wasnt funny at all. I listened to the first three stories and then had to put it away, thinking it was dull and drab and anything but funny unless you have some weird, flat humor gene. A week later i started into the next two stories, only to continue to be disappointed even more. Its painful. The expectations were that this was a brilliant book, it is anything but. Furthermore, the author is crude and does illegal and unethical things and we are supposed to think they are funny?
I wont buy another DS book.
i want my credit back on this one!
"Very Clever .. . and funny."
Among the best.
Very honest and endearing performance. I really enjoyed his stories and I really felt that I got to know his family.
Say something about yourself!
"David is great."
i love all his work. what more can one say? to make a minimum of 15 words and 25 characters? you either agree with my tastes or you dont? i guess this is our rights as Americans? stop buy if you want to try and chop off my hands. Nice touch with the hand chopping thing. ill continue on next review for filler.
Absolutely the most funniest I really enjoyed Me Talk Pretty One Day. The book was a fast listen recommend it highly.
"Honestly Funny"
I definitely would and have recommended this book. I have read a lot of his books and was just as amused with this one.
The most memorable moments is when he writes about his fathers reactions and cariing about his sister's looks.
His openness and complete honesty.
Yes if t were possible, but I enjoyed the bits of listening spread out through the days
"Missing Chapters"
There were too many missing chapters and no one ever contacted us about how to correct it.
David Sideris
Loved all of them.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

California Crude Oil:
An Analysis of Posted Prices and Fair Market Value
GGD-88-114: Published: Sep 8, 1988. Publicly Released: Oct 12, 1988.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
In response to a congressional request, GAO reviewed whether posted crude oil prices in California reflected the oil's fair market value for federal windfall profit tax and royalty purposes.
GAO found that: (1) Internal Revenue Service and Minerals Management Service studies showed that oil companies sold substantial quantities of oil at the prices considered as fair market value; (2) California and the city of Long Beach filed a suit against the oil companies concerning allegations that major oil companies conspired to keep the posted prices artificially low in California; (3) oil sell-off programs generally generated selling prices with bonuses above the posted prices; (4) because independent refiners had limited supply sources, they purchased 100 percent of the oil the city and state auctioned and as much as 82 percent or more of the oil that the Department of Energy auctioned; (5) although refined petroleum prices in California were in line with prices in the rest of the United States, crude oil prices appeared lower than elsewhere; and (6) there were no enforceable complaints regarding violations of common carrier obligations with intrastate pipelines crossing federal lands.

What are your goals for your freelance writing website? To be clear, we're talking about your professional site -- the one designed to attract clients, not your site or blog targeting other writers.
Chances are that you're hoping to attract not only clients, but the right clients. You know, they're the ones who have a need in your specialty area and an adequate budget to hire a pro like you. But how do you know if your website is doing its job effectively? Let's explore four things highly effective freelance websites tend to have in common.
The best freelance writing websites are:
1. Easy to Find
There is very little point in having a professional website if your prospects can't find it. This can mean several things:
- High search engine rankings for things your prospects type when searching for writers
- Being listed on all of your social networking profiles that you use for professional networking
- Being included on your business card or other physical marketing materials distributed offline
If you offer any kind of online writing services (from blogging to Web marketing copy), you need to worry about search engine rankings.
On one hand, many clients search for their own writers. If they don't find you in search rankings, they don't hire you. On the other hand, if you think you're qualified to write their Web copy and content, you had better be able to show that your own can get the job done.
Even if you don't care about rankings, you can bet your clients do. And if you don't don't take search engine optimization seriously for your own business, you're telling them you probably won't take it seriously for theirs either.
What does that mean exactly?
It doesn't mean you should be buying into old school SEO tactics that are really just spam -- think keyword stuffing as a prime example.
What it does mean is that you have to know your target market. You have to understand their search habits. And you have to understand how to give them what they really want.
By focusing on your prospects first and foremost, you'll naturally appeal to Google at the same time. It takes some planning, and takes an emphasis on quality content. But you're a professional writer. So you have that covered, right?
As for other ways to make your freelance writing website easier to find, just keep it professional. Distribute it in a way you would want others' contact information distributed to you.
In a newsletter they signed up for? Yes. On a business card you handed out at a networking event? Absolutely. On your LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook profiles? Of course. In every blog comment you write on other people's sites? Not so much. Use common sense.
2. Easy to Navigate
Okay. So you're able to get prospects to your writer website. But once they arrive, are they able to find what they really want?
This is where it's a good idea to review your website analytics regularly (Google Analytics is a good option). Find out where you most often lose your visitors (their exit pages). Then figure out how you can better help them find what they're looking for.
What does this include?
- What services you offer
- What you charge (or how they can get a quote)
- Where they can find samples of your work
- How they can contact you
Obviously your site can include more than this. Here's a list of things to include on your freelance writing website to give you ideas. But if your visitors can't at least easily access this basic information, your site isn't working as effectively as it could.
Here are a few ways you can make it easier for visitors to find what they're looking for:
- Include links to your main pages in your primary site navigation (ideally along the top of your website or at least at the top of your sidebar; keep it above the fold and easy to spot).
- Add a search box. If you have a lot of content, you might want to use something like Google Custom Search if your platform isn't known for handling search results well (WordPress is notorious for this).
- Customize your 404 page. If someone types something wrong or if an old link to your site is now dead, visitors could land on a page with a 404: Page Not Found error. By customizing that page you can add your search box or link to key pages to help those visitors find what they're looking for.
Remember, if you aren't giving visitors what they want or if you don't make it easily accessible, they'll happily go to a competitor's site that meets their needs.
3. Content-rich
Now that you have an idea of what you want to include on your professional site, how much information should actually be there?
This comes down to two things:
- Whether or not you care about ranking in search engines (if you care about growing your writing business, you will)
- Who your clients are
Let's focus on the former. We'll get to the client side of things in the next section.
If you want your site to rank well in search engines (Google specifically), you'll probably want a content-rich site. What they call "shallow content" doesn't rank very well anymore. You can thank all the crappy shallow content coming out of content mills like Demand Media Studios for that.
Your content has to offer real substance. That's not to say every page has to be epic. But you need to offer something of value. Your site copy needs to go far beyond:
"Look at me! Look at me! I'm awesome. Don't you see all this awesome stuff I wrote? See? See? See? Did I tell you I'm awesome? Hire meee!"
I said it before, and I'll say it again. If you want your freelance site to rank well in search engines and convert visitors into clients, you have to put your prospects first. And they want, and deserve, more than a virtual billboard. Let's look at what they do want.
4. Client-focused
This is probably the most important element of an effective freelance writing website. It needs to be about your clients more than you. Yes. Give some background on your credentials. Yes. Show off some samples. But no. Don't focus on yourself on every page of your site. Focus on what you bring to the table for your clients.
How can you do that?
Focus on Benefits
Don't just mention what services you offer. Explain how those services will directly benefit the client. It's not about your business. It's about theirs.
Share Examples
Showcase some testimonials or case studies. It can help to have other clients take you from mentioning benefits to discussing real-world results.
Add a Blog
Consider adding a client-focused blog. It gives you a chance to showcase your expertise, and it also helps with search rankings to have fresh content.
My business writing site used to rank #2 in Google for the phrase "business writer." (It's not a terribly valuable keyword phrase, but my rankings with it corresponded to rankings on more service-specific terms that drove more traffic.) It ranked there for years. When I took a few months off last year for health reasons, that site dropped to the third page in those rankings -- and also dropped for other phrases -- and my prospect inquiries from search engine visitors fell by more than 75%.
After getting back to blogging over a few months, I'm back to the first page for that example term. I'm not back to the #2 spot at this point, but I'm almost back to the same level of prospects thanks to increases all-around.
You don't even have to update your blog often, so it doesn't have to be the time suck some freelancers worry about. I'm currently updating just once every other week and I'm seeing those huge improvements.
Offer Extras
Also consider adding resources that might attract prospects to your site. These might be free e-books, templates, worksheets -- whatever your specific client base would be interested in.
Why add these things? They can encourage prospects to come back, much like a blog. But they can also encourage visitors to share your site with others, building your referral base.
The most effective resource I've released so far was a very short e-book I created back in 2006. I released it for sale in 2007, promoting it mostly in forums where I networked with target clients.
It was a simple guide on writing better press releases. I can hear your questions now -- "Why would you offer an e-book teaching clients how to do it themselves if you're trying to get them to hire you?"
Here's the thing. We all know that there are plenty of clients who don't understand freelance writing well yet. Some think our work is easy and anyone can do it, including them. My philosophy has always been to let them try. Most will never do it well, and those prospects are the ones likely to come back to me later.
I teach them the basics. Some read the e-book, see what's involved, and hire me immediately. They figure it sounds too much like work to do it themselves. Or they were just looking for confirmation that you know what you're talking about. Some want to understand your process and work philosophies more than others.
Then you have the DIY group who actually will succeed. This isn't a usually a huge group, but it's okay. Even if they don't buy now, you've made an impact. They might come back to you for other services later. But at the very least they're more likely to spread the word, bringing even more prospects to your virtual door.
And then you have my favorite group. These are the ones who read the e-book, try it themselves, and then come to me to do it right. I love them because they come into the working relationship with a deeper appreciation for the work we do and the value we bring to the table after failing in their DIY attempt.
This particular e-book was originally sold to prospects. In the short period I had it available for sale, it brought in several thousand dollars in direct sales. It brought in far more income through referred services. That increased significantly when I decided I didn't feel like updating it anymore, so I released it as a free download. And I still land new clients thanks to that freebie today.
Now I'd probably call it more of a report than an e-book if I released something similar today, given how short it was. And I'd pay more attention to its design. I'd bet you could do this even more effectively than I did if you tried it now. And if you used those freebies to build your subscriber list, all the better. (I didn't at the time.)
The best part? It was written and released in about a day and a half. Time well spent.

This has so much value – thanks, Jenn. I admit I have been remiss on the 404. Love the idea of the search function on it. This task goes back on the To Do list. The other I have put off is an audit/update of my site for improvement.
Cathy Miller recently posted…Laboring Over Your Marketing Message-
Right now my 404 (here) has a search box to help people get back to what they were looking for. But I've actually been planning to set up a better one. Maybe I'll do that and post about it today as an example. I think a lot of people neglect it because it's so easy to forget about. It's not something we regularly see (or hopefully we don't!).
I love this article, and I like the examples you included about how the technique works. One thing I spent a lot of time on is my design. I played around with TONS of different themes until I finally found one that looks professional. However, I still haven't landed a client off my site since it's only about a month old, but I've been doing what I can to make it shine.
Alicia Rades recently posted…6 of My Favorite Blogs and Resources to Help You Write Your Novel-
I think the theme you're using on your professional site looks great. It's clean, it's modern — it's appropriate for the types of clients you target. That's key.
I wouldn't worry too much about the direct leads from it yet. A lot can happen from one month to the next when it comes to rankings. For something general like "freelance blogger" it might take a long time or not happen at all. There are so many people targeting that, and not just service providers but people writing about the topic. A good start might be to focus on longer tail phrases related to each niche you blog about, like "freelance travel blogger." One way to do that would be to have a page for each specialty subject you cover, pitching the benefits of professional blog content in that niche (the reasons clients hire bloggers can vary a lot from one niche to the next). You could also use those pages to link to niche-specific portfolio samples — basically tailoring your pitch to each vertical you target. But so far so good. I have no doubt it will be bringing you leads soon.
Yep, I'm remiss on the 404, as well.
I love this. I love that you remind people it's about the benefits, not about "I'm so freaking special." Clients are not hiring us for our love of self — they're hiring us because we've shown them how we'll get the job done.
Lori recently posted…Free Advice Friday: The Writing Client Interview-
It seems like the hardest thing for freelancers to do is design the site for their target, not for themselves. I hate my site. I'd love to have something sleek, low-content, filled with catchy calls to action and white space. But that's not what converts my clients. A portfolio website isn't about the writer–it's about the client, a point you nailed.
Yo Prinzel recently posted…Friday Fun: Today's Memetastic-
I can imagine in your specialty area, the more information the better. Your clients aren't the type who make decisions lightly. Have you found that any particular types of content do better than others in the financial sector?
Including a blog has been very helpful for my website, and has almost become the main point of it. Not only is it a great way to showcase your writing, it is also a wonderful way to network with other writers or business owners. Blogs really draw people in. Thank you for this tip and for all the others!
Michael Levanduski recently posted…Do You still have the Employee Mindset?-
I agree. Having a blog on your professional site is a great idea. I covered some of the reasons writers should consider this in a post not long ago. (Not that you need any convincing, but just in case someone else reading does….)

This will be our first UC, I have been seeing a doctor for prenatal care. Should I register at the hospital just in case?

I think it wouldn't hurt, it will make things go quicker if you do decide to go in for whatever reason.
I would, that would be one less thing to worry about if you need to transfer for any reason.

I don't see that pre registering would hurt anything. Your doc may continually ask if you have pre registered yet. If you don't just make sure you have your ID and insurance card handy if you need to transfer and you can register after the birth (assuming only reason you go to hospital is emergency). I haven't decided if I will pre register or not, it seems like a waste of time and my time is getting more valuable the later in pregnancy (feeling cruddy and have 2 young children)
I didn't preregister, but not because of any concerns -- I just never went and got the paperwork (so, laziness). it shouldn't be at issue, and your doctor should be able to give you the paperwork at the office at one of your visits (i would think), so you could ask for it and do it fairly easily. I think my friend's doctor turned it in for her any everything. So she just got the paperwork at one appointment, and gave it back to him at the next appointment, and went from there. :)
I always preregister. Made my one hospital birth a walk in the park at admission, rather than having to go through all the registration stuff. And I did it all on line. That is the way our hospitals work.
they are placed there for the amusement of those who like to point them out.
