Cool game

I am a real gaming person and love to try out the latest new games that come out. Well, you can imagine my glee when I stumbled upon a game called aion. This is a multiplayer online role playing game and I do not have enough words to describe the excitement that it has brought into my life. Previously, I used to be so bored when I was home alone. Now, however, I long to be home alone because that is when I can go online undisturbed, and play this game with the other players waiting online for me. This game is a fantasy game and is so addictive that you won't be able to stop playing it.

Flying is the only mode of travel and combat. Four primary classes exist in this game and you can choose the one which suits you the best. The different aion classes are: Warrior, Mage, Scout, or Priest. Once a player has gotten up to level 10, he/she must choose from the two specialized classes associated with that base class. This will permit him/her to get a feel for the play style of the class before making a major decision as to which class to play for the rest of the game.

Business Cards

Every business needs to have business cards. You want something convenient to hand to people when they ask for your contact information. If you are attending a meeting or conference you are sure to meet new people who may need your services. You want to think of the layout and content of your business cards very carefully. You want to give your contact information and have it stand out, but you also want your card to be unique. If your potential customer has several cards for the same type of service yours will stand out from the rest. You can choose to have information on both sides, or contact information on the front and a design on the back, it is all up to you and what you think represents your business the best. You can choose to have your cards coated or not as well. Keep in mind that if your cards are coated it will be very difficult to write on them, say if your potential customer wants to jot some information on the card. You definitely want your cards printed professional; this will give you a great outcome that you will be happy to give to potential clients.

Web directories

Web directories are comprised of a list of various websites which have been compiled by website reviewers. DMOZ and Yahoo directory are examples. You may have heard a lot being discussed about web directories and wondered what the big fuss was all about. The reason why a lot of business and website owners use web directories is because they can greatly increase profits as there are many useful links for business usually contained in them. Depending upon the business objective, links can be found pertaining to that objective. For example, if your line of business is medicine, then look for those website directories with medical links, and try to obtain as accurate results as possible.

Now, there are a plethora of web directories (free, paid, business and other types) out there on the internet, and it can often be difficult deciding which one would be the right choice for you. Keep in mind a fundamental rule: a good business web directory will have a variety of websites listed on it. Try to avoid those directories that offer many similar links, because this might not be helpful if you want to search for different types of links in the same directory. Steer clear of website directories that seem to be unreliable. Also, select an SEO friendly web directory that lists websites that are frequented most by your target market.

Making money online from blogging

Working from home and making money online has never been so easy.

There's an exciting array of opportunities opening up for bloggers for earning an income from or through their blogging. Bloggers looking to earn an income from blogging should spread their interests across multiple revenue streams. This is becoming increasingly much easier to do and the past year has witnessed many options opening up.

A Few Examples Of Income Generators for Bloggers:

Advertising Programs - such as Google's Adsense, and many more. MSN and Yahoo also have ad programs but those are still in beta testing.

Sponsorship - Some businesses are realizing the advantage of advertising directly on blogs. Some companies also pay bloggers to write on certain topics on a post-by-post basis.

Affiliate Programs - such as Amazon, Commission Junction etc. There are also hundred of others from the large to the very small.

Business Blog Writing - Many competitive businesses today have started blogs. Some have internal staff take on blogging duties, but many hire bloggers to run their blogs.

Non Blogging Writing Avenues - Bloggers are even being approached for writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and other non-blog websites.

Merchandising - an increasing number of bloggers are making a bit extra by selling branded products through programs like Cafepress, etc.

Blog advertising

Advertisers who are selling products and/or services have finally realized that the power and reach of the internet is unsurpassed by any other medium. Blog marketing and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques are utilized by all the marketers who wish to harness the potential of the internet.

One of the ways of to have effective advertising is by going in for blog advertising. Advertising on blogs has become extremely popular as of late. Anyone with a blog can offer advertising to advertisers. As far as advertising on blogs goes, I have to admit that I myself have become a convert to the potential.

The blogger simply writes about the advertiser's products or services and then also links back to the advertiser's website, thereby giving more power to the latter's Link Popularity. No only does the advertiser get Higher Search Engine Rankings, he also gets more targeted traffic which in turn boosts his Sales and revenue (in essence, the bottomline).

The reason why blog advertising works is because blogs are essentially gathering places for niche influencers and opinion-makers whose loyal audience also consists of smart, savvy consumers. It is not just young college students that read blogs. Rather, the audience can be composed of an astonishingly wide demographical and geographical reader profile, not to mention also the mainstream media.

Old-line, entrenched brands do not benefit much from blog advertising, as their ads are seldom interesting, thought-provoking, or human enough. Generally speaking, new launches, new products, newsmakers, etc. are what blog advertising works for. The ads should have a human voice and be high on the connectivity factor. Moreover, the ads need to be as edgy and rich as the blog content itself. Humor or sarcasm works splendidly as well. One actually needs to appeal to the reader's sensibilities with solid copy. Exclusivity also is highly appreciated by bloggers. For example, offering something first to bloggers, before it is offered to the general public, can score the advertiser brownie points, big time.

House cleaning is cathartic!

Yes, it is! House cleaning IS a cathartic process for me. Although I do sometimes think I am one of the very few people who, despite being financially well off, still clean their house themselves. I can think up a few practical reasons: it’s disruptive to have service people in my house, etc.

However, I think the real reason is something different -- I find that after housecleaning, my spirits feel lifted. My thoughts are cleared and my mind feels lighter as well. It's like the congestion in my mind has lessened along with the conjestion in my house! I feel this same way after throwing unnecessary items in the house away. There's a system called "Feng Shui" that advocates this too. You may have noticed the same feeling when working at a messy desk versus a clean and tidy one -- you feel "better" in the latter (at least in my case!) Any comments on this?
