Stop Wasting Money On PPC Advertising. Now You Can Get Google Ads For Free. - By: Tops Mohiuddin

I hope you hate spending money on all your Google™ pay-per-click advertising, because if you do you’re in luck. But DON’T worry as you’ll never pay for a single day of pay-per-click advertising regardless of how high you set your budget. Google Ads For Free will show you


· How to pay much LESS than your competitors are for the SAME keywords and STILL remain on the top sponsored area of the FIRST page in ANY advertising search engine.


· Enter any market you want, without worry about advertising costs.


· Enter and dominate any market you wish WITHOUT worrying about the costs per click involved in advertising directly.


· Discover an underground resource to getting unlimited advertising credits and vouchers.


According to his Website, he has used that free advertising to make more than $300 million worth of sales, and that his net worth is now $68 million, all because of the “secret” method he discovered. According to the book, the author has a system for getting free Google advertising. This allows him, he says, to set his maximum bid for any keyword he likes to $100 and to even set a daily advertising budget at a whopping $10,000. So, in theory, his net advertising costs may, indeed, be zero. Quit paying crazy amounts for PPC advertising and start getting your ads out there for FREE whilst making crazy profits at the same time.


Dr Jon created this system by implementing a 'twist' that he saw happening in the 'offline' marketing world and applying it directly towards the paid for advertising search programs. Everyday Google sells several $10 million’s in pay-per-clicks. Dr Jon has personally used this to: Eliminate over $87 million in otherwise paid-for and PPC ads at Google™ and other search engines over the course of about 9 years now. If you’re still willing to pay for all your Google Ad Words ads after finding out here and now that others are now getting $10 million’s in Google advertising FREE, then something must be wrong. Anyone can secure this system in just 2 minutes from right now, start using it within 45 minutes from now, and be getting $1 million’s in otherwise paid-for Google advertising, but because of this secret, never have to pay for another pay-per-click ever again.


Well the Get Google Ads Free methods were thought up from ideas this guy got off other internet marketers and it has actually turned him into the WEALTHIEST man in all of Internet Marketing. Before releasing it he consulted Internet marketing experts, macroeconomists, market analysts, a business psychologist and even an economics-sociologist to be sure that such a release wouldn't prove to make "lopsided" the online landscape.


Obviously the very BEST way to increase profits is to eliminate or greatly reduce costs in the promotion of your business -- this means doing away with the cost of advertising. This secret is so powerful in fact that this same retired New York doctor used it very quietly over the last 10 years to secretly rake in over $400 million in sales from 16 online businesses, and while saving over $100 million in otherwise Google bills.


In short, Get Google Ads Free doesn't teach you how to get advertising on Google for free, but rather offset your costs of advertising in such a way that you won't affectively be paying a cent for them. This method has been around for a while, though until Get Google Ads Free came along, there hasn't really been a definitive guide to doing it and doing it right. If you'd like any more information at all or would like to buy Get Google Ads Free right now, you can simply click on the link below to be taken to the Get Google Ads Free website. Whatever you decide, I hope this Get Google Ads Free review has helped you to make a more informed decision about this product, and if you're looking to make some money using it, I hope you can achieve considerable success with it.

Testing Your Marketing Messages - By: Philip Sartes

The core of any marketing push will be some specific message. If you don’t have a core message than I’m afraid you might need to look into it, because you can’t expect to be successful with your marketing if you don’t know what you’re trying to say to people.
This message needs to be based heavily around who your customer are and the best way to reach them. This message has to be about your customers, and the better your message is, the more forms of marketing you can use it for. That’s the great thing about a strong marketing message: you can apply it to any form of marketing.
The first step however is to figure out how successful that message is. Not all marketing messages are going to have the kind of success you want.
If you want to test out whether your message is effective before expanding it to all of your marketing I would suggest direct mail marketing as the best way to doing this.
Postcard printing is going to be the most likely advertisement to use with your direct mailing, and this actually works out quite nicely. Postcards are so small you don’t have room for a very lengthy message. You’ll have to have the entire postcard dedicated to what your message is going to be, so your postcards will rise or fall based on the strength of that message.
The reason why direct mailing is the best way to test your marketing is because you can measure your success rate. Pick out a mailing list of the exact type of customers you’re looking to target and send out a string of color postcards.
Now you pay attention to how much your sales rise in comparison to the number of people who received your postcards. Direct mailing is good at getting immediate results from people, so if a few weeks go by and your sales remain largely the same, you know you didn’t hit the right not with your message.
Another thing to consider with this is the relatively small expense of both designing and getting postcard printing done. You won’t have to pour the same amount of money into the initial marketing push as you might have to if you were using a pricier style of marketing.
If you do see a nice spike in sales you can be certain that your message is doing the job it’s supposed to. Now you can take that message and expand it out into other forms of marketing. You can get brochures done without worrying that they won’t be successful.
Even if you’re positive your marketing message is good, I would still suggest testing the waters for. Why potentially waste money when you don’t have to? All it takes is a little postcard printing to ensure your message is doing what it needs to.

Mobile and internet advertising set to boom - By: tdimobilead

Mobile advertising is the form of advertising using mobile phones or using other mobile devices. Mobile advertising is a part of mobile marketing. Mobile advertising is closely related to online advertising or internet advertising. Mobile advertising involves displaying text, graphic image and animated ads on data enabled mobile devices. The world’s wireless infrastructure is moving in the right direction, and the catalog required attracting mobile advertisers increasing. There are different ways of advertising on mobile phones, like SMS, calls, MMS, blue tooth, internet gaming, screensaver or wallpaper logos.
The current mobile advertising India, on the other hand, is estimated to be just Rs 0.6 crore. It includes broadcast SMS, brand jingles as caller ring back tones (CRBT), product placements in mobile phone games and banner advertisements on Internet-accessed through mobile phones. India's online advertising is expected to reach an inflection point by 2009-end - a time when mobile advertising is predicted to grow at a roasting speed. Mobile advertising is going in a slow but fixed pace. The reason is that marketing people and consumers have to understand the benefits and the technology has to be sold at a low price. Mobile advertising as a product to mobile marketers is also somewhat upsetting: There are a lot of new concepts for marketers to learn.
However, it’s said that there is more of talking then action in mobile marketing.
• Mobile advertising grows bigger than any other form of digital advertising or internet advertising.
• The number of people that uses mobile increasing rapidly.
• Chances of seeing an ad in mobile is higher using SMS or MMS or WAO Applications.
• The response rate is higher on mobile as compared to other advertising devices.
• Advertisers can arrive at their target audience more accurately.
The biggest challenge for mobile advertising India or internet advertising now is educating the system that mobile is not the same as the Internet, bcoz of the advanced functionality of phones and networks.

Mobile advertising and internet advertising has gone away from the testing stage by brands, which now see it as a reasonable option for the promotional dollars, says Laura Marriott, executive director of the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA). The operators have played a vital role in helping the association develop guidelines for internet advertising India or mobile advertising India. Over the past few years mobile advertising has become a reasonable advertising channel. This is due to the fact that unlike email over the public internet, the carriers who control their own networks have set guidelines and best practices for the mobile advertising industry (including mobile marketing). The IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) and the Mobile Marketing Association, as well, has established guidelines regarding the use of the mobile channel for marketers. No doubt internet advertising India is going to be the worlds toppest advertising techniques within couple of years.

Jokes by Famous Comedians about the Ironies of Life or Something Like It - By: Joe Owens

When life gets too tough to handle, people have different ways of overriding the problems and stress brought about by mountain-high price of gasoline, traffic, annoying neighbors or pesky people at work. Commonly, people freak out, spend impulsively or go to a shrink to cope with problems. But for those who want to change the cycle, instead of pulling their hair, they just sit down and turn on the television to hear some downright funny jokes by famous comedians. In the words of Woody Allen, “life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television”.

Famous comedians like Woody Allen, Dave Chappelle, Dane Cook Jones, Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman are just some of the bunch of people who have made a living (and some considerable amount of cash to boot) out of making fun of life, and well, other people. They can even make poverty, unemployment or death sound so unbelievably hilarious that you would forget that they are the causes of your misery. We can definitely say that they make the motherloads of motherloads by biting life back with a wide grin on their rich faces through their comedy jokes.

Dave Chappelle once talked about racism and being robbed in one of his shows in Comedy Central. Iironically, he garnered a lot of laughs out of making fun of the often scary and demeaning situation he was in:

“Somebody broke into my house once. This is a good time to call the police, but mm mm, nope. The house was too nice. It was a real nice house, but they'd never believe I lived in it. They'd be like ‘He's still here!’ Whack! ‘Oh my god. Open and shut case, Johnson. I saw this once when I was a rookie. Apparently this ni**er broke in and put up pictures of his family everywhere.’ Dave! Relax! Close your buttcheeks!” -Dave Chappelle (mustsharejokes.com)

Jerry Seinfeld has been famous for playing himself in the long-running comedy (which already ended) show aptly named, Seinfeld. Now, most television actors could win an Emmy by playing any character but themselves. However, Jerry is no ordinary comedian. He won Emmy’s for talking about himself, his friends and of course, making fun of every situation in his life from the most mundane to political correctness. In one of his jokes, he was able to give a more positive view about losing:

“The Olympics is really my favorite sporting event. Although I think I have a problem with that silver medal. 'Cause when you think about it, you win the gold-you feel good, you win the bronze-you think ‘Well, at least I got something.’ But when you win that silver it's like ‘Congratulations, you ‘almost’ won. Of all the losers, you came in first of that group. You're the number one loser. No one lost ahead of you!" –Jerry Seinfeld. (mustsharejokes.com)

So next time, life hands you crap, just smile, breathe, and start laughing the crap away at comedy jokes. Remember, you’re not traversing this wretched world alone. After all, these comedians can’t joke about life’s problems without having faced them themselves.

How To Become A Full-fledged Comedian - By: Maryann Floretta

You’ve finally gotten tired of your boring nine to five job and decided to become a comedian. You think you have that unmistakable talent that would make audiences burst out in laughter. For someone like you that enjoys humor, it’s an appealing job. But how exactly do you go from an everyday person to full-fledged comedian?

The first step on your journey to become a comedian is to study the greats that have come before you. You can do this by renting videos of stand-up routines done by the likes of Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler and Chris Rock. Study how they go about their routines and why they are funny. Learn about timing and notice how every comic has a different persona. Being unique is the ultimate goal that could ensure you getting laughs.

The second step to become a comedian is to write your own routine. Write everyday about what you know and then put a comedic spin into it. Go with what interests you and what interests other people. Celebrity impersonations, musical gags, and the use of props are just some of the things that you could do in your routine. Take note of having setups as transitions from one joke to another.

The next step to become a comedian is to train for the stage. Taking improvisational acting classes and public speaking classes can help make you a better performer. Part of being a comedian is your confidence on stage. Memorize your routine and run it with a test audience. Make changes to your routine based on the reactions that you get. Also, be prepared for those that would heckle you during your routine. To become a comedian is to have a thick skin and taking everything with a grain of salt.

To become a comedian, you need to start somewhere. Start out by joining open mics to see how you are received. The practice you get from performing for different audiences can represent your growth as a comedian. Once you’ve mastered the open mics, you can now head to the big comedy clubs.

But to become a comedian that would be deemed, at the very least, good, you need to avoid some amateur mistakes like thinking you can do better than others before you, thinking you can be famous easily, talking badly about other comedians, blaming the audience for having a less than successful show or reacting badly to hecklers.

Remember that to become a comedian is no easy task. Persistence is key. It’s a hard road as it does not necessarily bring in big money. But if you have the qualities for the job, you should know how to have fun along the way.

Changing Landscape of Living Room Furniture & Home Theater - By: Philip Pendleton

Living room furniture has changed a lot in the last 30 years. Much of that has to do with the many advances in television technology as well as home entertainment. Have you noticed these changes in your own living room or family room? I’ll bet you have. In this article we’re going to take a look at some of the emerging furniture categories that have benefited from the advances in television and home entertainment and how these have changed the landscape of living rooms and family rooms everywhere.

In the early 1980’s society became introduced to affordable entertainment in the form of VCR’s. The VCR was an interesting medium for the television in that it allowed playback of movies and television shows in your own home. The ability to tape programs as it was called allowed individuals to be able to sit down and watch programs at their own leisure in their own furniture whenever they wanted without having to catch a program as it aired. Most families owned a TV and a VCR and these were often able to be placed on simple stands or inside cabinets as most average TVs were anywhere from 27" to 32" in viewing size. Parked in front of the TV was a stationary sofa and perhaps a chair, recliner or a loveseat.

The 1980’s also introduced consumers to home entertainment in the form of video game consoles. Born out of the growing arcade industry which included full size upright cabinets, cocktail tables and sit down games with numerous popular titles the video game industry was booming. Software companies like Atari, Colecovision, Sega and Nintendo came to the forefront with video game consoles that allowed users to plug in different cartridges in which they could play console versions of their favorite arcade games in their own home. The graphics might not have been much like their arcade counterparts but the playability of these games in one’s own home was the appeal and made living rooms and family rooms busy with family members mashing buttons and kicking over end tables and chairs while battling their electronic foes.

Furniture manufacturers at the time missed the mark somewhat in designing furniture for these budding home entertainment centers. Often people would have video game consoles, game cartridges and VCR tapes all over and ended up having to search and find the different media that they wanted to use because there just weren’t any real products on the market that did a great job of organizing and displaying products without compressing them into tiny furniture that was tall and enclosed.

The mid 1990’s Sony and Phillips began waging war with a new medium in home entertainment, the DVD. DVD was a new format that looked like a CD disk but could hold ten times the information. It was around this time that DVD players were introduced with sleek thin profiles that were a match to the many home audio and receiver systems which were beginning to take on more modern designs. The DVD was replacing VHS tapes and big and bulky was heading out to be replaced by thin and efficient designs.

The same can be said about televisions as well. A new market of television were being introduced to consumers who were tired of the boxy designs of 27" and 32" televisions and wanted TV’s that could bring them the look of a home cinema experience. TV’s would soon be able in theater wide models and would be described as projection TV’s. These TV’s would lead to other models like LCD, DLP and plasma models and would continue to market the popularity of theater wide or a 16:9 aspect ration compared to the 4:3 aspect ratio of older television sets. Wider TV’s now meant that cabinets and stands needed to be designed wider as well. This time furniture manufacturers got a second chance at making furniture that kept up with emerging trends in electronics and television as well as the right seating for consumers who were creating their own home theaters.

Furniture would soon be designed wider such as entertainment centers for theater wide television sets. Manufacturers were making the units wider and at the same time dropping the furniture lower to accommodate the larger size of the televisions now being used so that they could keep the furniture eye level with the viewer. DVD players, AV equipment and gaming systems also could fit beneath easier now as the longer width provided better space for all of the equipment. Seating also changed and now reclining furniture as well as super sectionals and motion sofas, loveseats and chairs were introduced to provide a real home theater experience.

So what did your living room look like 30 years ago compared to today? If you walked up to someone in the 1980’s and showed them today’s home theater furniture, seating and equipment you would probably be greeted with any number of responses but any of those would include amazement in how much technology has moved forward both in electronics and furniture. Today’s furniture keeps up with the changing landscape of electronics and the many advances in designs and materials. It’s truly amazing how far we’ve come in what seems to be so little time.

Decorating Your Home On A Shoestring Budget

It happens to all of us sooner or later. We get that itch to actually DO something with the space that we live in. We actually want to decorate. For a lot of us it's a case of having champagne tastes with a beer bottle budget. What we want isn't necessarily what we can afford, and what we can afford, we really don't want!

But just because you have a limited, okay, VERY limited budget doesn't mean that you can't liven up your space. But where do we start?

The easiest way to give a whole room a makeover is with a coat of paint. You'll need to determine if the current paint on your walls is oil or latex. If it's oil paint, you'll need a coat of what I call "transition" paint because latex will not adhere to oil paint properly. Ask your favorite paint store for help with this.

Decide on a color. Lots of decorating stores have paint chips available for you to take home free of charge. It's difficult to tell though how a color will look on a wall from just a small two inch by two inch scrap. Once I've decided on a couple of colors, I usually buy a tester pot of each color. You might have to ask, not all stores offer this. Then simply paint a couple of two foot by two foot swatches, one on a wall that gets a lot of light, and one on a wall that doesn't. Different lighten conditions will affect the color and what looks good in bright sunshine may just creep you out come nightfall.

If you really can't decide about the color, then go with something neutral like a soft off white or a very pale yellow. One lady I knew had such a difficult time making a decision she painted every room in her house white! Sounds extreme, but with colorful furniture and accents, it actually looks quite striking.

As far as paint quality is concerned, this is a case of 'you get what you pay for'. By all means look for a good quality paint on sale, but don't buy the cheap stuff just because it's cheap. You'll regret it a month from now when you try to spot clean the wall and the paint literally dissolves on the sponge, leaving you with unsightly streaks on the wall.

Because you're decorating on a shoestring, it may take a little longer to buy the paint that you want. But your patience will be rewarded once the job is complete!
