Free Advertising Site Widgets

So, how to choose which ones are best to place advertisements on and which ones are then best to peruse for purchases?

How does one sift through the varied landscape of free advertising sites to find the gems?

One way is to discover the sites that also have widgets to then post on other blogs or websites that you have. Sites that allow not only graphic uploads and photos, but possible video uploads as well.

The Lone Blog Spammers

Spammers Will Spam

To have an affect on any type of group, the change involves a well thought out plan of action. Problems need solutions. But, where to focus the energy and change?

Spammers will spam, cheaters will cheat, and the majority of people in that group will end up getting scammed, slighted, or knowing someone else from the group who has been. Do we as a group, team, or organization focus our energy, time, and resources on the negative? Do we as a unit attempt to stop these sorts of behaviors from happening? I say, focus the groups attention on empowering the group to become aware of exactly how to discern positivity and quietly dismiss any negativity.

Now, of course, negativity comes in many forms. The blatant bashing of any business, group, or team member is quite obvious to everyone and directly in your face and very seldom welcomed with open arms. Especially, if the team member or business opportunity is not at all the vision of the painted picture by the basher. But, there are other, more subtle forms of negative energy that can infect an organization. If that team is working together toward a common goal and a single member or a few are attempting to drive the team in multiple directions, this action can break or slow significantly the momentum of the teams force. Creating confusion is the first step in losing focus and if your team loses their focus, their goals become blurry, the get side-tracked, and the team has to then create this momentum yet again.

Visualize yourself at the bottom of a hill, not a huge mountain, but a rolling hill in the Highlands of Scotland for instance. You have a task to push a boulder the size of you up to the top of this hill and back down the other side. The struggle is great at first, but as you near the summit, you begin to see your team lending a hand, the boulder slides easily to the top through the perseverance and team work. Once the momentum has begun, getting this mass to the other side becomes effortless as you happily guide it down the other side.

What if you encounter a patch of ruts and rocks, tree roots or bushes that fall in your path up the first side? Will your task be as easy with these obstacles? This is the result of group members that attempt to pull other team members in another direction by taking away the team focus. Figure a way to go around, over, under or through such things. As a team work together to fill the ruts, relocate the branches, or chart a new path around the tree roots. Becoming aware that you can never entirely rid any team of these trials or challenges or the members that insist on presenting them will benefit any organization immensely.

Focus on creating awareness. If you have chosen your business, service, or product wisely and are excited about it, share it, and network with team members that are collectively marketing the same. Understand yourself first that there will be included in this group, some who are not focused on the product, service, or business choices the team members personally made. These members generally get involved in many opportunities, never seeming to focus on one or two that work synergistically. If you have found something brilliant, focus on the brilliance. When you make a choice, first choose, then make that choice the correct or right one for you. As a team, focus on what is right with the group, not what is wrong. Alert the right thinkers in advance that they may be introduced to or happen upon multiple other ways to produce income. Until we all focus on what we have, we will all end up like the dog with his bone. A stray dog had found a meaty bone laying alongside the road he traveled on. He was so excited about it and went to show all of his friends. The dog held this bone in his mouth proudly strutting down the street. The cat, bird, and turtle were all happy for him. When he came to the pond to look for his friend fish, he bent his head down and saw his reflection. He immediately was started because he saw another dog in the water and not his friend fish and to top it all off, that dog had a bigger bone than he did! That wasn't going to happen to dog, no, so he opened his mouth to acquire that other bone.

In the end, the dog lost both bones, the real one and the visualized one too. Keep this story in mind as you build your teams, groups, businesses, or organizations and keep focus on what you do have, not what you think someone else has.

Importance Demands Time

Things we place high on our important list, Demand Time and Require Time. These things we deem important would soon fall off this list if we then did not give them the time demanded.

What do you place high on your important list? Is it family, work, socialization, research and knowledge, prayer, clubs or groups?

Now... step back and see how much time you actually give these important things. Create a pie chart and fill in the spent time everyday. Whats the biggest piece? The second biggest? Or third?

Where is your importance placed really?

The Lone Blog Google Me?

Does the title of your site reflect the added content? What does your blog comment and inform about? What drew your attention to your own individual business? These are the questions to consider when thinking on what Google Me means. It has a personal twist for everyone and not all people will search the same phrases.

Whether you use the pay per click methods or free marketing methods, the search engines of Google, Yahoo, Ask, and many others have different ways that they rank your searchable keywords. The system of linking your personal name, nickname, and business keywords together is like a motor boat on the river. The motor boat would be the major search terms and the wake of this boat will then carry your name and nickname with it to the top of the original search terms. It's like bringing a friend to the shore, up and involved with the beach party.

Once you begin to include your name in the wake of other keywords, be certain to live up to these other search phrases and gain a growing knowledge of them. Become an expert in these search terms and understand what the people searching these terms are really looking for. Immerse yourself in the what, where of the searches and then discern who.

The what are they searching seems to be the first grasp of Google Me. Using the free tools at Google like their brilliant search tools, will help you decide your particular keywords.

Never get discouraged with the use of keywords and never let anyone tell you your chosen keywords are bad ones. You thought of it and connected it to your business, so others will too.

The Lone Blog 100th Post

Joel Osteen just told a cool and thinky story!

A mans wife was preparing dinner. She was fixing a ham for supper. The man watched as she cut the ends of the ham off, she always cut the ends off before she cooked the ham and her husband asked her "Why do you cut the ham ends off?"

She was a bit taken back and said "Well, my Mom was the very best ham cooker in the whole of the world and this is how she fixed it."

The man thought for a moment and said "Well, can we call your Mom and ask her why she cuts the ends off?"

The wife agreed and they called and asked her Mom "Mom, how come you cut the ends of the ham off before you cook it?"

Well, the Mom was then a bit taken back and said "My Mother was the best ham cooker on this earth and she always cut the ends off."

"Why did she do that Mom?"

"I am not certain."

"Let's call Grandma and ask her then."

"Grandma, How come you cut the ends of the ham off before you cook it?"

Grandma said, "Well, I am the best ham cooker ever, but my pan is too small."

This story tells us that you need to question why you do things, is there a reason. Let's just not do things because someone else did them, empower yourself.

List your blogsites first, then if you have any websites additionally on your list, place them towards the bottom of the link list. This will get more clicks and comments from outside our group.

Moving the items and urls in the link list is as easy as using the arrows along the side of the page element Link List. Open the link list with the edit click, look at it for a minute. There is an edit, delete, and then there are arrows here. Up and down arrows. Be sure to click these arrows with care, as you could inadvertently click the delete button :)

The Lone Blog Google Me Jim Killeen

Our lives and technology have become interwoven. Computers are now a focus of our daily lives rather than an addition to the tasks we perform each day. Strictly checking our occasional emails has become a thing of the past. Bringing the computers out of the den and into the main living area of the home for researching information, watching videos and sometimes gathering advice on the many websites available through the world-wide web. GOOGLE has produced the greatest impression and has enabled web users to connect, seek, and ultimately locate each other.

Webster's Dictionary has included the word GOOGLE as a verb in their listings and has officially made it a part of the English Language. The definition of this word is to look up, investigate, to explore, to seek out, or acquire answers. The refreshing addition to our verbiage of the twenty first century, is not only clever but useful. This lone word was invented and given the use for and definition of, by a single company started as ideas in a college dormitory and exploded into a daily need of millions every day.

Jim Killeen has taken this search engine highway experience and turned it into a documentary soon to be released. The director and creator is working on this documentary of his travels seeking out other men of same name that he discovered while GOOGLE searching his own name.

Jim Killeen's GOOGLE search of himself, ultimately set him on this quest for "himself". He found seven others labeled with the very name he was given at birth. His adventure takes off, quite literally, on an airplane to Ireland to meet with a man of the cloth. In his searches, he discovered a corporate VP in Saint Louis, a traffic engineer in Scotland, a retired Police Officer in New York, and a CEO in Australia. The adventure takes him along on his travels to meet the men who share his name from many different cities, towns, situations, and lifestyles. He was quoted to hold concern and hope by saying "I wanted them to be doing well in life."

Now that the film is in its final stages of development, Jim Killeen will be making public appearances, being highlighted in newspaper write ups, and being a guest speaker on radio spots. Technology is brilliant, but I think the doorway into a destiny does not always lead you to the same end. He traveled through the Internet door of a seemingly inhuman world, that brought him closer to the human interaction we crave and seek venturing onto the World Wide Web initially, but often are not aware of our needs until they present themselves.

The Lone Blog Tides, Currents, and Waves

The rise and fall of our Atlantic Oceans tides involves a great deal of energy. Within a twenty four hour time frame, there are usually two high and two low tides. Each high tide being about twelve hours apart and each low tide spacing the same time frame. Keeping track of the tides in a coastal community is as easy as turning on your radio to listen to the surf report or checking your local paper.

Surf's up basically closer to the full and new moon phases but it varies with the wind. The moons gravitational pull displaces water from both the earth's surface facing the moon and the surface directly behind it. The rise and fall of the tides, wind, and thermohaline circulation (thermo-heat, haline-salt) all drive the oceanic currents.

Tidal currents are the only kind that can readily be predicted. They are created by the sun and moons gravity making a current in the ocean close to the shore and in bays and estuaries and are the only currents affected by the gravitational pulls.

Wind is responsible for driving currents at or close to the ocean surface. Wind currents are generally measured in knots (1 knot is equal to 1.15 miles per hour) and effect a concentrated local area along the shore or larger areas out to sea.

Thermohaline currents are a slower moving current that happens when the difference in water density is occurring because of temperature and saline changes. These currents are found at shallow and greater depths and create a kind of circulation much like boiled water in a pot, but not near as drastic.

When observing the angle of a waves approach to shore, notice the break. A wave begins to break when the depth of the wave is half that of the depth of the floor where the floors grade escalates. A wind driven wave that becomes unstable, having elevated sharp angles is referred to as a breaker. Wave height is dictated by wind speed, direction, and length of time the wind has been blowing in that direction. Waves come in sets or patterns that are countable and somewhat predictable on any given day. Surfers watch the wave sets and choose which wave in the next set they will ride based on the breaking patterns of the previous set. Body surfers can tell which wave to catch by the strength of the undertow preceding the wave.


Tides, currents, and waves all have an impact on beach erosion. The explosion of energy released when a wave crashes the coastline causes sediment to be displaced and taken further out to sea know as longshore drift.

A rip current flows away from and perpendicular to the shore. It generally occurs between two breakers and is no more than eighty feet wide. If the waves are small, the rip currents are more numerous but weaker. If the waves are large, the rip currents are spaced further apart but more powerful. Taking some time to look at the wave patterns before you take a swim is the mark of safety and always stay close the life guard stations.

The Lone Blog Perseverance

Perseverance

The numerous and gifted quotes of Authors throughout the globe, speak on the subject of perseverance and pushing ahead. Climbing insurmountable mountains, forging rapid rivers, and trudging through the swamps of life to finally to get to your required destination.

Look at today as either climbing that slope or gaining some kind of wisdom to actually peak the summit tomorrow. Perseverance is defined in the dictionary as a noun. "The steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement."

In reality, the steps taken to reach your end can never be viewed as in vain. The learning, teaching, people you meet, places you go, and experiences in life are but needed travel time to mold yourself into that what you seek.

Let's look at the quote by H. Jackson Brown "In the confrontation between the stream and the rock, the stream always wins- not through strength but by perseverance." In this, he states that in the observation of a steam trickling down it's path, even when rocks and other obstacles prevent the stream from a straight line, the stream will fully reach it's desired area and destination.

To be constant and persistent is the key to any success be it online or otherwise. Keep reaching and pushing towards the outcome you are seeking and you will reach it :)
