By now you know that how much social bookmarking can do for you. It is a phenomenon that has the potential to drive huge amounts of traffic to your website. The World Wide Web is dynamic, as we saw when discussing the world ‘live’ web. It focuses on websites, blogs articles and videos that are constantly being updated.

Especially when considering your blog, it is vitally important to stay on top of the traffic game by making sure that search engines have the latest knowledge of it instead of relying on the search engines to do all the work to find you, since search engines have several million blogs to sift through every day.

So, you should do whatever you can to ‘help’ the search engine search results by informing them every time you update your blog. You do this by sending a ‘ping’ to the major directories every time you add a new posting to your blog.

The technology behind the ping function is, however, not new or solely related to blogging. It is, in fact, a simple program that has been used for many years as a way of making sure that a certain IP address actually exists and is able to accept requests from remote machines.

‘Ping’ is sometimes also used as a verb – to ‘ping’ is the act of using the ping program or command. Sending a ping is almost like running a sound check on the computer that you are trying to test. Using the ping program or command is also commonly used to figure out how much time it takes to get a return response from the host. A ping can also help you learn the numeric form of the IP address of the host computer, simply from the domain name.

That was the original ‘technical’ meaning and usage of a ping.

Let’s make sense of it for our own use. In simple terms ‘ping’ implies ‘getting attention for’ or checking the presence of another party that may be online. A ping works by sending information or a ‘pack of data’ to a particular address and then waiting for the correct anticipated response.

In fact, the word ‘ping’ has interesting roots. The technical computer term for the program is Packet Internet or Inter-Network Groper – hence the acronym PING. Ping is also the term used for the sound of a returning sonar pulse used by submariners.

The ping function is also relatively commonly used for validating the existence of an emailing list. This sort of ping involves sending a message to the mail server service of the members of a specific email list requesting an acknowledgement code or ACK. This ensures that all the emails listed are both live and valid.

OK, so here goes... No fluff no filler just a straight method for getting 1500+ visitors every single day. We all know that without traffic a website is sunk so this method will show you how to get a shed load of traffic completely on auto-pilot.

The first thing you will need to do is to sign up for a Netlog account. https://www.netlog.com.

Spend some time making a great looking profile, think about what is going to appeal to people and definately make it look human.

What you don't want to do unless you are happy using proxies and clearing cookies before every visit, is to create more than one profile. This is a very easy way to get banned from Netlog.

Ok, so you have your profile replete with fluffy bunnies and pictures of your yorkie pup, etc,

Next thing is to write a blog post, everyone who visits you page will check out your blog and your links. Add the link to your homepage in your blog. Make it a fully formed link with the http part like https://www.theaffiliatepalace.com When it comes time to save the blog make sure you agree to share the link as a favourite link. This will place it at the top of your profile.

You can spend some time over your netlog profile, setting skins and so forth, remember the traffic generation part is completely automatic so you won't have to spend time on that.

So, we now have a profile which will attract people, add a nice looking skin and some nice pictures to your profile. There is no need to make your profile a sexy girl but that depends on how you are going to try and monetize this method. If you are going to be directing randy guys to your livecam affiliate link then obviously you will need to set yourself up as a sexy girl.

I know, I know, I'm getting to the good stuff. One of the great things about Netlog, when compared with Facebook and MySpace, is that every time someone visits your Netlog page, you see their picture on the right side of the screen. This means that if you are "online" (remember that word, we'll get back to it) you can see if someone visits your page. The usual thing is to go and look back at their profile to find out who was looking at yours.

Now what if we could automate the process of visiting anyone who is online. Thousands of profiles, how many visitors do you think would come back and look at your profile? And how many would check out your blog and your link(s).

OK, so we have this script and it looks exactly like this...

The first thing to do during a bear market is to have a realistic mindset. Don’t worry what newspapers are printing or what the television anchors are saying on the 6:00pm news. Remember, the media is in the business to sell newspapers and get nightly viewers.

In fact, a wise man once told me what he did during the 1973-1974 bear market. He said he was so worried about his stock portfolio that had only slept 2-3 hours per night for several weeks. This lack of sleep was affecting his health, his marriage and his day job.

After a heated argument regarding their investments with his wife, he said he went for a drive. During his drive he was listening to the news on the radio. The newscaster was talking about the bad economy and the stock market. He said he reached over to turn up the volume on the radio, but the radio knob fell off. Since he couldn’t hear the news he turned off the radio. He said he drove for another ½ hour before returning home.

When he drove into his driveway he said he felt a feeling of peace and calm come over his entire mind and body. After he made up with his wife, he told her about radio experience and the peace he felt. After listening to his story, his wife suggested he stop listening to the radio, reading the newspaper or watching the nightly news for a week and see how he felt.

After a few days he felt great. He said he wasn’t stressed out anymore and this experience taught him how to manager stress for the rest of his life. So when the market goes down, (and it will) he says he keeps in contact with his stockbroker a few times a week and doesn’t watch television or read the financial newspapers as closely as he did in the past.

So rather than focus on a bunch of numbers, charts and quotes, why not focus on the present and the future.

Taxes are an important part of growing up. Although we all complain about paying taxes, taxes are a vital component of a strong country. I firmly believe in paying my fair share of taxes, because I know it keeps our country safe and strong. However, I also believe in taking full advantage of every legal opportunity as granted by the government to minimize my tax liability. So by teaching teenagers what the taxes pay is the first step in teaching them about taxes.

Many young workers don’t understand the role taxes play in our country and our government. We need to explain the taxes taken from our pay checks go to pay fire firefighters, repair roads, support our military, pay our congressional representatives and more. In fact, taxes are vital component to a strong country and a successful society.

So by relating taxes to paying for the requirements of our country, I have found this is the best way to introduce the complex subject of taxes to your teenager.

Teenagers probably get their first introduction into the world of taxes when they discover their first paycheck was less than expected, thanks to income tax deductions. CPAs say it’s important to be sure your child understands the responsibilities for paying taxes and, if required, filing tax returns. Here are a few ideas to teach your teenagers about the importance of taxes.

Have a meeting with your CPA, tax advisor or tax attorney. One of the best ways to introduce your teenager to the subject of taxes is to sit down with your CPA or tax advisor. This approach shows the importance of taxes and how it affects earnings and investments.

Explain to your teenager what services income taxes provide to our country. For example, the next time you are stuck in road construction while your teenager is in the car, remind them the taxes taken from their pay check is paying to improve the condition of the roads for the better meant of the country.

By relating real-life situations to the abstract concept of paying taxes, your teenager will better understand “why” taxes are taken from their pay check.
