Hi!
As you all know by my profile, I used to be a photographer. And I have included a photograph of my view of Portsmouth Harbour across the Solent where I live. What I would love you all to do, is send me a photo of where you live. It could be a view of your house, your street, or town. And tell me a little about it. It doesn’t matter if it is only just a few words. And it doesn’t matter if the photo isn’t that good, it’s not a competition. And hey! It would be great if you were in it. So go on lets here from you…

I'm Back!!!
Well here I am again after a bout a year of blogging I have decided to try to do it right.

So this is my new beginning if you would like to know just how I get on why not subscribe to my news letters and bookmark this page. Oh! And if anybody out there thinks they may have any good ideas that will help me please join in.

Captivating Content Creation...
Are you an article writer? If so, what type of articles do you
write? When this question is asked, the subject matter isn’t
really being sought after, rather the way that you write. Do
you write interesting articles; articles that your readers can’t
wait to finish reading? Or do you write traditional, boring
articles; articles that your readers may not even finish
reading? If you answered traditional boring articles or even a
collection of them both, you may want to reexamine the way that
you write. After all, it isn’t a secret that readers actually
like to enjoy what they read. That is why it is extremely
important that you write captivating content.
As it was mentioned above, the subject of your articles isn’t as
important as the way that your articles are written, but it is
still important. For that reason, you will want to write
articles that interest you, but also ones that will draw in
readers; readers from all walks of life. The best way to come up
with these article subjects is to use the internet to your
advantage. After all, the internet is likely where your articles
will be published. To find “hot topics,” to write about, you
will want to use keyword research tools, search engines, news
websites, and shopping websites. When it comes to finding “hot
topics,” these are your best sources of information. Once you
have found an interesting and popular topic to write about, you
can then focus on the way that your article is written.
The goal of any article writer is to have their article read and
loved by readers; however, there are some cases where this is
more important than others. Many internet users, namely
webmasters use articles to create back-links to their websites.
These back-links are used increase website traffic. The only
problem is that many article directories only allow links at the
end of an article. This means for you to benefit from article
distribution and back-linking, your readers must make it to the
end of your article. If you are a webmaster who is using this
technique, it is extremely important that you go the extra mile
to ensure that your articles are interesting and easy to read.
Speaking of interesting, the best way to determine whether or
not your article is interesting is if you like it. After you
have created your article, you will need to proofread it. After
you have thoroughly proofread your article, you are urged to
review it one more time. This time, you will want to examine it
as a reader, not the article writer. If you find your content
dry, dull, or boring, there is a good chance that your readers
will as well.
An article that is easy to read is also important. You can
write a captivating article, but if it difficult to read, it
won’t do you any good. When it comes to easy to read articles,
grammar is an important component. Whether you are planning on
selling your articles, using them for your own personal use, or
submitting them to article directories, you need to take the
time to proofread your articles. Many internet users claim that
the number one turn off is articles that are poorly written.
There is no quicker way to lose a reader than to have an article
that is poorly proofread.
In conjunction with readable articles, grammar wise, it is also
important that you examine the words that you use. To sound
professional, many article writers use big, technical sounding
words. This is okay to do is some cases, but it is typically
advised against. The only time that you should use big,
technical words if you are writing an article that will be read
by experts in the same field. The second biggest turn off for
readers is content that regularly contains words they do not
know or understand. In a way, this is similar to creating dry,
boring content. If your readers cannot understand exactly what
you mean, they may find reading your article to be useless or a
waste of their time.
The best way to write captivating articles is to write from your
heart. When it comes to article writing, even just a little bit
of creativity can go a long way. Creativity is what can turn an
otherwise boring article into one that your readers will not
only enjoy reading, but one that they may also recommend to
others.
When writing articles, creativity is extremely important.
Even if you do not consider yourself to be a creative person,
you are urged to sit down and brainstorm. You may find that it
is the best way to develop captivating article ideas.

Visitor Satisfaction
It’s oftentimes a difficult balance for web site owners. How do
you please both visitors and search engines? Well, it’s not
easy, but if you follow certain steps, it isn’t that difficult,
either.
So which is more important, to please the visitors or the search
engine spiders? The unequivocal answer is to please the
visitors. What good is a site that attracts spiders but not
actual people? And what good is a site that only attracts some
visitors but not search engine spiders? In this newsletter, we
will go over writing content that interests and pleases both
your readers and the spiders.
So how do I write content that pleases a visitor?
First, stick to writing content that is relevant to your site.
That means that if your site is about Rock music, you should not
have any content about dogs, as that only makes your site look
bad and repels visitors.
Second, write content in an easy to understand, conversational
format. Do not use big, fancy words just for the sake of looking
smart or pleasing search engine bots. I can’t count the number
of times I’ve visited a site with content that is so hard to
comprehend that I do not wish to ever come back to that site
again. You want to make a good first impression on anyone who
takes the time to look at your site, so make sure your content
is easy to understand.
Third, never ever write content that is long, dull, and boring.
If the point you are trying to get across can be said more
concisely in 500 words, than why waste another 300 words droning
on and on about the topic? This is a huge turnoff to potential
visitors.
Fourth, make sure that all of your content is grammatically
correct. I know, this is hard because we live in the instant
messenger world, where sentences like “how r u?”, are thought to
be acceptable. However, anyone who is well-educated will
appreciate good grammar. Make your site shine in this
department.
Fifth, don’t overuse keywords and keyword phrases. In other
words, don’t make it blatantly obvious to the reader that you
are trying to attract search engine spiders to your site. Make
an effort to make sure that your keywords and keyword phrases
flow into the content of the article. This is easier said than
done, but can be accomplished with a little fine tuning.
But what about search engine spiders? How do I please them?
Search engine spiders are actually very easy to please, much
easier than actual human beings. This is because search engine
spiders aren’t subjective—they don’t care what the subject is
about; they just care about the number keywords and keyword
phrases.
The only way you can possibly displease a search engine spider
is by overusing a keyword/keyword phrase and making your site
smell like spam. Search engine spiders are now more advanced
than ever, and so they are better able to ignore sites that are
full of spam. Too many keywords or keyword phrases that are
blatantly there will hinder your site from being crawled by
spiders.
As is mentioned in another of our newsletters, a keyword density
of 1-3% is generally considered to be good. Any less than 1% is
bad and will make it harder for your site to get listed on
search engines; any more than 4% makes your site look like spam.
If you haven’t checked out our other newsletter, keyword density
is basically the number of keywords or keyword phrases in a
piece of content divided by the total number of words.
Before you write your article, take some time to make up a short
list of keywords that are relevant to the topic at hand. Then
try to naturally sprinkle them into your content, so that your
content will please both the search engine bots and your
readers. If you are able to do that, you will have a successful
site in no time. Not only will the search bots love you, but
actual people will, too!
Writing content that is good for both people and search
engines is an absolute essential to making your site a
powerhouse. So follow the rules above and you will be able to
write excellent, pleasing content!

Don't Get De-Indexed
As search engine optimization has grown more popular, so has the
use of unethical SEO (that’s shorthand for search engine
optimization) techniques. But what are these “black hat”
techniques? Why are they so bad? Better yet, what can you, as a
web site owner, do to legitimately increase your search engine
ranking? These are all questions which this newsletter will
answer. After you’ve read this, you’ll know what techniques are
underhanded and which are acceptable.
So what are “Black Hat” techniques?
“Black Hat” techniques are unethical techniques that some web
site owners use to get their site listed on search engines. They
usually use these techniques to get a high search engine
listing. Here is a list of three common “Black Hat” techniques
you should avoid if you want to please search engine spiders.
1. Keyword stuffing. Keyword stuffing is the overuse of keywords
in a piece of content. Generally, this is repeating the same
keywords over and over just to achieve a higher search engine
ranking.
2. Invisible text. Quite a few cheap sites use this tactic,
which involves making keywords in a font that is the same color
as the background, so that readers can’t see the massive amounts
of keywords, but search engine spiders can.
3. Doorway pages. These are pages that regular visitors cannot
see, but search engine spiders can. They are done to trick the
search engines so that the site gets a higher ranking.
Why are “Black Hat” techniques bad?
They’re bad because they go against the rules set forth by
search engines. Not only do they go against the rules, but they
also hurt the visitor’s experience. Who wants to see a site
stuffed with keywords? “Black Hat” techniques are unethical and
wrong.
Do “Black Hat” techniques work?
Yes, they do, which is why people use them. But these techniques
only work temporarily. Eventually the search engine spiders
catch on and your site is permanently banned from being listed.
This is why you should never use “Black Hat” techniques. It may
pay off for a few short weeks, but it permanently hurts your
site and its credibility on the internet.
So if I can’t use “Black Hat” techniques, what techniques can I
use to help my site get listed high on search engines?
Fortunately, there are multiple techniques that you can use to
get your site legitimately listed high on search engines. We’ll
go over two such techniques right now.
Keywords
Earlier in this newsletter, we talked about keyword stuffing.
While keyword stuffing is an awful thing to do, the natural use
of keywords is perfectly fine. By natural, we mean keywords that
are spread throughout a document in a way that isn’t blatant.
How do you naturally use keywords in your content to benefit
your site? Well, before you even write your content, take a few
minutes to identify some keywords that are relevant to your
site. Then, begin to write the content. Try to incorporate the
keywords you have picked out in a natural way throughout the
content. Ideally, if your content is 600 words, you’ll want to
use the main keyword between 6-18 times, which is a keyword
density of 1-3%(keyword density is the number of keywords
divided by the total words of a document). Anything less than
that won’t be beneficial to your site. More than 3% keyword
density might seem like keyword stuffing, so try not to go much
past 5% keyword density.
One thing to keep in mind is that actual people are reading your
site. Thus, you should make sure that the use of keywords does
not distract your readers from the whole meaning of the content.
Linking
Linking is a very common practice between web sites. How do you
do it? Well, you ask a site that is relevant to yours to post a
link to your site on their site. In return, you can offer to
link to their site on your site. That way, both sites get a
benefit from the linking.
How does this help your listing? Well, each time a search engine
spider visits a page with a link to your site on it, the spider
will then visit your site.
If you keep the above in mind, your site will get listed high on
a search engine with no danger of being pulled.
While “Black Hat” techniques temporarily do work, they
never pay off in the long run. So if you want a legitimately
high search engine listing, don’t use “Black Hat” techniques.
Use the natural methods for high search engine rankings!

You are not going to believe this…but you need to!
I just checked out Matt Callens incredible software called HyperVRE, and this could be the first time that I have used a free software more than I do my other paid apps.
Matt told me I could let a few people know about the site before he starts charging for the product, and I had to tell you about this. :-)
http://www.hypervre.com/?affiliate=103999
While I could go on and on about the features and how they have benefited my business, I think you really need to see for yourself what this software really can do. For now - he is giving this software away for free, so there is no risk. But you need to hurry before there is a hefty one-time payment.

Post Regularly Because...
Keeping people interested in your blog, whether it is a business
or personal blog, is key to attracting a lot of regular
visitors. Many blogs have died because people have just lost
interest. The main reason for the lack of interest is simply a
lack of posts by the blogger. Regular, frequent posting, which
will boost your blog’s ranking in search engines, is essential
to the survival of any blog.
You might be asking yourself, what is frequent posting? How many
blog entries should I make on a given week? How do I make
frequent consistently good posts? What are the reasons for me to
post frequently? In this newsletter, we will go over all of the
above.
What is frequent posting?
Frequent blog posting is posting enough to keep your readers
interested. Obviously, people will not want to come back to a
blog that hasn’t been updated in months. They want to see
consistent posting so that they know coming back to check the
blog next week to see if there are more posts won’t be a waste
of time.
How many blog entries should I make each week?
This is one of the tougher questions to answer. It really
depends on the purpose of your blog. If it’s a personal blog, a
weekly or twice weekly update is an excellent idea. A
political/sports/music/religion blog should have 3-4 posts per
week. Business blogs should have at least 2 posts, but
preferably 4 each week.
The thing to remember is that quality counts. Posting frequently
just for the sake of posting frequently tends to result in
subpar posts which people won’t care about. It is important to
find a balance—frequent, quality posts that won’t result in
burnout on your part. Why create 4 poor quality posts each week
when you could post 2 quality posts per week?
How do I create quality postings on a consistent basis?
It’s all about following a consistent pattern of writing. Maybe
you’re not a natural writer and this is difficult. That’s why
we’ll give you an outline to help you.
1. Pick a topic that is interesting to you and to your readers.
Maybe if your blog is a personal blog, you could write about the
latest happenings in Hollywood.
2. Carefully think about what you’ll write about the topic. It
makes it easy to make quality blog postings if you know exactly
what you’ll write. Plot out everything about the post before
even beginning to write it.
3. Before writing your content, pick out some keywords that are
relevant to your blog. If you naturally use keywords throughout
your post, you will please search engine spiders which will get
your blog ranked higher on search engines. Your visitors won’t
mind the use of keywords if they are used in a tasteful way.
4. Begin writing your post. Don’t limit yourself to a particular
amount of words. Just do what’s natural. And if any blog post is
hard for you, just take a timeout and relax. You should be able
to finish the post a bit later on, after you’ve had some time to
think things through, you should be able to finish the post with
no problems.
Why is frequent posting important?
Blogs are meant to be outlets for individuals or businesses.
They are used to get an opinion out on something and to engage
readers. Readers need to have something that makes them want to
keep coming back to a blog. That something is usually quality,
frequent posts.
Gaining and maintaining visitors isn’t the only reason to post
often in your blog. Catching the eye of a search engine—and
achieving a high ranking—is another valid reason for posting
frequently. Most likely, each posting in your blog features some
keywords or keyword phrases scattered throughout it. Logic says
that the more natural keywords you have on a blog, the better.
Thus, the more posts you make on your blog, the more keywords
you have on there. And the more keywords you have, the more
likely a search engine bot is to crawl your site. The more your
site is crawled by bots, the more likely it is that you will
have a high ranking on a search engine.
Frequent blog posting can be easy as long as the person who
is posting takes the time to plot out what they’ll write about.

or personal blog, is key to attracting a lot of regular
visitors. Many blogs have died because people have just lost
interest. The main reason for the lack of interest is simply a
lack of posts by the blogger. Regular, frequent posting, which
will boost your blog’s ranking in search engines, is essential
to the survival of any blog.
You might be asking yourself, what is frequent posting? How many
blog entries should I make on a given week? How do I make
frequent consistently good posts? What are the reasons for me to
post frequently? In this newsletter, we will go over all of the
above.
What is frequent posting?
Frequent blog posting is posting enough to keep your readers
interested. Obviously, people will not want to come back to a
blog that hasn’t been updated in months. They want to see
consistent posting so that they know coming back to check the
blog next week to see if there are more posts won’t be a waste
of time.
How many blog entries should I make each week?
This is one of the tougher questions to answer. It really
depends on the purpose of your blog. If it’s a personal blog, a
weekly or twice weekly update is an excellent idea. A
political/sports/music/religion blog should have 3-4 posts per
week. Business blogs should have at least 2 posts, but
preferably 4 each week.
The thing to remember is that quality counts. Posting frequently
just for the sake of posting frequently tends to result in
subpar posts which people won’t care about. It is important to
find a balance—frequent, quality posts that won’t result in
burnout on your part. Why create 4 poor quality posts each week
when you could post 2 quality posts per week?
How do I create quality postings on a consistent basis?
It’s all about following a consistent pattern of writing. Maybe
you’re not a natural writer and this is difficult. That’s why
we’ll give you an outline to help you.
1. Pick a topic that is interesting to you and to your readers.
Maybe if your blog is a personal blog, you could write about the
latest happenings in Hollywood.
2. Carefully think about what you’ll write about the topic. It
makes it easy to make quality blog postings if you know exactly
what you’ll write. Plot out everything about the post before
even beginning to write it.
3. Before writing your content, pick out some keywords that are
relevant to your blog. If you naturally use keywords throughout
your post, you will please search engine spiders which will get
your blog ranked higher on search engines. Your visitors won’t
mind the use of keywords if they are used in a tasteful way.
4. Begin writing your post. Don’t limit yourself to a particular
amount of words. Just do what’s natural. And if any blog post is
hard for you, just take a timeout and relax. You should be able
to finish the post a bit later on, after you’ve had some time to
think things through, you should be able to finish the post with
no problems.
Why is frequent posting important?
Blogs are meant to be outlets for individuals or businesses.
They are used to get an opinion out on something and to engage
readers. Readers need to have something that makes them want to
keep coming back to a blog. That something is usually quality,
frequent posts.
Gaining and maintaining visitors isn’t the only reason to post
often in your blog. Catching the eye of a search engine—and
achieving a high ranking—is another valid reason for posting
frequently. Most likely, each posting in your blog features some
keywords or keyword phrases scattered throughout it. Logic says
that the more natural keywords you have on a blog, the better.
Thus, the more posts you make on your blog, the more keywords
you have on there. And the more keywords you have, the more
likely a search engine bot is to crawl your site. The more your
site is crawled by bots, the more likely it is that you will
have a high ranking on a search engine.
Frequent blog posting can be easy as long as the person who
is posting takes the time to plot out what they’ll write about.
So take a few minutes to think about your post and then just do
it!
