Blog

Here you will be able to find a blog about getting a Free Website. It will look at the different choices and plusses and minusses about choosing to get a free homepage. But hey - it's hard to complain about something free huh?

The 3 Major Search Engines

Microsoft relaunched their MSN Live Search or Live Search or whatever they used to call it to Bing.com. Also they have changed the way they work as a search engine, so you get different results now. Never the less Google, is still the market leader in search with a very large margin.

This means that the 3 biggest search engines in the world currently are:

1. Google
2. Yahoo!
3. Bing

Bing is still in beta however.

Advertising on search engines is referred to as Search Engine Marketing (SEM) while organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) refers to the work involved in getting websites to rank higher on the editorial search results also known as "the left side".

Make More Money As Website Owner

I can highly recommend Google Adsense if you have not already tried it. OK it takes a little bit of time to set it up, but not that much. Once its done you have an ongoing revenue from your website, blog etc. I know I don't have it on this blog yet, but that's not the main purpose of this blog, and sooner and later it will come.

Basically Google Adsense is the program where you can run relevant Google ads on your website. All the ads come from advertisers on Google Adwords, where Google matches these up against relevant webpages/content or shows them to people, where they know the ads are relevant based on their search history if they have enabled this.

Results are:

1. Revenue as website owner
2. Relevant ads for your visitors
3. Advertisers gets their ads in front of the right and relevant people

A Global Online Marketing Directory

Dubai First SEO has launched a Global Online Marketing Directory called a1974.com. It contains great links related to online adveritising. One great tool is Alexa.com, which you can use to get some user figueres on any website in the world. Basically you can get an idea of how many users a website has and where these users come from.

If you have any great links please ad them to the directory. If your own homepage is related to online advertising, then you are most welcome to ad this as well.

Directories are great. They help users find homepages according to the subjects they are interested in. Therefore we have made another one, where you can also ad a link to you own homepage. Its called DFSDIR.com.

You can even read news from News Week or take a free game online game - they are great fun!

The Greatest Advertising Tool In The World - Period!

Now there can be no doubt about what I am talking about - this can of course only be the magically Google Adwords! I have worked with all media and especially with everything within Online Marketing. And nothing - NOTHING compares to being on page 1 of Google, when it comes to Return On Investment (ROI). Or ROMI - return on media investment as someone dubbed it.

Google Adwords lets you control SEM also known as Search Engine Marketing. This is great because you can be on page one of Google in 5 minutes (if you can setup an account quick;). An even more amazing tool actually is SEO, which means Search Engine Optimization. This concentrates on getting you better organic results in Google, which again is 80% of the traffic from Google, so this is quite an amazing area to invest in.

Seek4Fitness.net is a great site for inspiration to your fitness. Here you can meet with people from all around the world with similar training interests as you. There is both a lot of programs on the site that you can download and use for inspiration, but it also works as a community where you can interact with like minded people from everywhere. 

Also you will find a lot of nutrition information and help to plan your training diet. 

If you like fitness and like to meet new people this site is worth checking out.

BBC Is In General A Great News Source

BBC is just in general a great news source. Its public service at its best, not biased by commercial interests.

For a world news source I like to have this next to CNN on the TV remote. They usually are very professional and have a high standard of journalism. It's always good to have a second view on any matter - also when it comes to world politics.

A Great Finance Website

I believe that Yahoo Finance is still the most visited finance website out there. And it's not too bad! It was my main financial information ressource for many years. But then along came another beta product from Google: Google Finance

In the beginning like so many other people I find it hard to change my habits. I even know another Google investor, that didn't switch from Yahoo! Finance to Google Finance, even thought he had options in Google. But I forced myself, and soon I found that Google Finance is a more nimble and dynamic website. You are not limited to the news providers that have signed up with the site, instead Google uses its crawlers to search through all other websites to find relevant news related to Google. Also the graphs are really nice to work with on Google Finance.
