Have you ever encountered a situation where your favorite band is playing a concert and you are very eager to see it yet you do not have the ticket? To get ticket then you have to camp outside the ticket box way before the day of the concert and you have to get in line with hundreds or event thousands of other equally eager people. This has happened to me before when my favorite band, which is Michael Learns to Rock, came to play in our town a couple of years ago. The long time waiting in line was a waste as I did not get the ticket I wanted.
This would not happened to me if I knew about A Cheap Seat at that time. A friend of mine told me about the site when his younger brother wants to buy Notre Dame Stadium Tickets. My friend's brother attended University of Notre Dame and he wanted to watch his football team play in the semifinal of the university championship. At A Cheap Seat you can find many other cheap tickets for many events across the country. This includes Rosemont Theater Tickets where you can held corporate meetings, Soldier Field Tickets where an exhibition between last year's NFL Champion and a team of collegiate all-star players of the previous season was held. No more waiting in line or worst waiting in vain for tickets which you have long been longing for. One more important thing to notice is that in A Cheap Seat you will be guaranteed the cheapest ticket for any event you want to attend.

3 Common Barriers to Blog Success
by: TJ Philpott
For many blog success can be difficult to achieve due to varying reasons or circumstances. The blog building process itself is a long and winding road filled with many ups and downs. Many popular blogs you see on the internet today did NOT get that way overnight but instead slowly built a loyal reader base over a period of time. The fact of the matter is that of all the blogging sites you may find online today only a small percentage will be in existence a year from now. What is it that keeps so many of these sites from the dreams of success they originally started out with?
Here are 3 of the most common barriers that many blogging sites succumb to in their quest to establish themselves online.
Uninspired
As already mentioned above the blog building process can take quite a bit of time. Without gaining any type of 'gratification' over a period of time many tend to lose their enthusiasm or the inspiration they felt when they first started. This results in a decrease in the quality of their post which then leads to a decrease in their readership.
Unmotivated
Once a bloggers inspiration begins to decline due to their slow progress so does the motivation necessary to 'adequately' maintain the site itself. Now not only are post lacking quality but they are also becoming more infrequent as well.
As difficult as it made be to build a steady flow of returning traffic it is much easier to lose whatever readers you may already have.
Unappreciated
With little or no sign of gratification the owners of many blogging sites understandably will then begin to feel unappreciated. At this point the feeling of 'what is the sense' starts to sink in and this demoralizing feeling is tough to shake. Now the blogger is on the verge of simply giving up and likely will if the lack of gratification continues. This is a bad but also natural 'emotional' cycle many fall into when trying to establish a blog.
Achieving blog success online is something to be proud of due to the fact that it is a feat not easily accomplished. The blog building process is a long and challenging one that can and will test the resolve of even the most motivated amongst us. Even the most popular blogs you can find online had to pay their dues in patience, effort and time before they established themselves. Although circumstances vary from one blogger to the next the 3 barriers we discussed here today commonly faced by every blogger at one time or the other. Ultimately it is the motivation and perseverance of the individual that determines the degree of success they will achieve. Blog building is not a short sprint but rather a long distance run. If you possess the endurance to continue on you will likely be one of the minority who cross the finish line.

Adwords Quality Score
by: Daniel J Thorley
Using Google Adwords as part of your marketing strategy makes a lot of sense. What makes less sense however is wasting your precious advertising budget on a poorly constructed campaign. "Quality Score" is one of the areas theat can help give you more bang for your buck.
Improving what Google refers to as your "Quality Score" in AdWords can help move your paid search ads up the page. This will improve their visibility and click through rates.
We've already mentioned your Quality Score rating in PPC but here is a reminder:-
The AdWords system calculates a 'Quality Score' for each of your keywords. It looks at a variety of factors to measure how relevant your keyword is to your ad text and to a user's search query. A keyword's Quality Score updates frequently and is closely related to its performance. In general, a high Quality Score means that your keyword will trigger ads in a higher position and at a lower cost-per-click (CPC).
Google began calculating Quality Scores for AdWords ads for each consumer search in September 2008. Part of the Quality Score calculation is the page load time of the landing page your ad points to.
Page load time is the time it takes for your page to fully display in a browser after it is requested via a link clicked to the page. A page load is straightforward as quoted below:
1. The request for the page is made (e.g., a link is clicked).
2. The server performs any server-side processing, like dynamically generating content or accessing a database to get information. When the page is completely constructed, it proceeds to the next step. NOTE: Static HTML pages do not have server-side processing, only PHP, JSP or ASP.NET pages use server-side processing.
3. The server begins transmitting the response over the Internet/
4. The client computer (the one from which the click orginated) receives the response from the server.
5. The client computer's browser begins rendering the server's response (Web page elements) in the browser. Additional requests are made to the server to deliver Flash scripts, graphics and/or Javascript.
6. When the page is completely rendered and all other requests are complete, the page has loaded.
How Google actually determines page load time is not clear. However, what is clear that it is measured and is a component of your page's Google Adwords quality score.
Google has this to say about why it considers page load time:
Two reasons: First, users have the best experience when they don't have to wait a long time for landing pages to load. Interstitial pages, multiple redirects, excessively slow servers, and other things that can increase load times only keep users from getting what they want: information about your business. Second, users are more likely to abandon landing pages that load slowly, which can hurt your conversion rate.
Improve your page load time by:
1. Optimize your server-side scripting.
2. Get dedicated Web hosting.
3. Compress the size of your page.
4. Lose the Flash Animation.
5. Strip out unnecessary elements from the page.
6. Optimize your page.

I have two children, a son and a daughter, who are still under five years old. As this they are still on their growing phase, my wife and I have to really pay attention to their food.

Tutor For Your Children
I have a nephew who is just entering his days of learning at primary school. At first he was quite struggling to adapt to the new situation at school. This problem also affected his achievement at school. He could not do some of his homework mainly on algebra and fractions. His parents understood that if the problem persisted he would not made it to the second grade. He was then assigned a tutor to help him study at home. I recommended to the parents to look for good and quality tutor at TutorVista as one of my friends at work had tried it and the were very satisfied at the result.
All of the tutors from TutorVista are professional with years of experience and familiar with the U.S curriculum.

Make My Own Web Business
by: Matthew Zinda
There are basically 2 factors that determine how much MONEY you will make on the internet. These 2 factors are TRAFFIC, and CONVERSION. There is no reason to send traffic to a website that doesn't convert, and vice versa. However, you want to consider your traffic sources while dialing in your conversion.
CONVERSION is how well your website does what it is intended to do. This is where alot of internet marketers go wrong. The only thing your home page, or squeeze page, should accomplish is to capture your visitor's name and email address. You should NOT sell anything on your home page.
Your visitor should only have 2 options on your home page; to input their name and email address, or to leave your website. You certainly don't want them to leave your website, so the job of your home page is to capture your visitor's name and email address.
How do you capture your visitor's name and email address? By offering them something of VALUE, for FREE. You give them a free gift that will solve their problem, in exchange for their name and email address. The more valuable the free gift is, the more likely they are to give you their name and email address. This benefits you in 2 ways; it builds your LIST, and they start to get to KNOW you, LIKE you, and TRUST you.
Your visitor's name and email address goes from your opt in form, on your home page, or squeeze page, to your LIST in your auto responder. You will then continue to email them FREE content, that benefits them, using prewritten emails, via your auto responder.
The people on your LIST now KNOW you, LIKE you, and TRUST you, because you have given them a free gift, and valuable, free information, all of which has helped them tremendously.
The chances of these people buying your product or service has now dramatically increased. These days, it is very difficult to SELL something to someone that doesn't KNOW you, LIKE you, and TRUST you.
Now you use your auto responder to send them a prewritten email, with a link to your paid product or service. Again, they are much more likely to BUY now, because they KNOW you, LIKE you, and TRUST you. You have already given them a FREE gift, and VALUABLE, FREE information that has made their life easier.
DO NOT take advantage of this. Your LIST is, by far, your biggest asset. If you treat them right, by giving them valuable information, and if you only send them to products you truly believe in, you will have a LIST of laser targeted BUYERS for LIFE, not to mention some new FRIENDS.
Once you have set this process up, you don't have to do it again. You only have to set up the PROCESS your visitors will go thru ONCE.
With this process set up, you can start concentrating on the 2nd factor that will determine how much MONEY you will make online; TRAFFIC. There are many ways to get targeted traffic, many of them are FREE. I tend to lean towards the free ways; forum marketing, newsletters, email signatures, article marketing, content syndication, list swaps, classified ads, online giveaways, and social media, etc. You also have the option to use paid SEO techniques, PPC, and more.
This will get you a bunch of targeted TRAFFIC, to go along with your excellent CONVERSION rate. This equals a lot of MONEY for you.

Most Popular Blogs Share 3 Common Characteristics
by: TJ Philpott
Some of the most popular blogs on the internet have gained their loyal following for reason other than what you would think. No doubt the quality of content found in the blog posting of a site has a lot of influence over its popularity. There is however subtle little things that readers tends to appreciate just as much as dynamic blog entries.
Often times it is these 'little things' that make for a successful blog.
Here are 3 'practices' every blogger should adopt that will only contribute in a positive way to the satisfaction of every blog reader who visits your site.
Contribute Your Own Content
When posting many will often use the content of others to place on their site and this is a perfectly acceptable practice. What you do not want to do is let this become such a habit that most of the content on your site originates from somewhere else. Make the effort to compose plenty of original content yourself to help give your site more of an identity. This will also give any visitor a more reason to visit your site.
Give Credit Where Credit is Due
Above it was mentioned that an acceptable practice is to use the content of others on your own site. The key to this that makes it acceptable is to ALWAYS credit the author since by not doing so you are 'stealing' the hard work of somebody else. Although the internet is vast in size this type of behavior will be identified quickly damaging your reputation and credibility.
Avoid Large Blocks of Text
Always try to compose your entries so that the sentences and paragraphs are short if possible. This helps to minimize large blocks of text on your site that not only discourages people from reading it due to its size but is also stressful on the eyes.
Most every one of the most popular blogs found online share 3 common characteristics that contribute immensely to their popularity.
