Work From Home Scams – How Stupid Are We?

As financial times harden so does people’s desperation to work from home and make extra cash to get by. These individuals are increasingly being taken advantage of due to their dire situations. Hopefully this article shows the carnival with its jip joints for what it is.
Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, Now that I got that off my chest I would like to discuss my viewing of a July 2008 monthly issue of a popular work from home business magazine I just received. Stupid is as stupid does, please excuse me I just had to finish getting that out also. Browsing this magazine page by page, which is by the way all advertisements and testimonial articles paid for by the advertiser, I see brilliant dazzling feel good colors. Pictures of gold, riches and stacks of money. An inspirational message from successful billionaires telling you to get it while it’s hot before it’s all gone. It kind of reminds me of a casino on the Las Vegas strip, Years ago, what was it’s name? Oh Yea, Sassy Sallie’s. I don’t know if they are still using that name but I do remember they served a world famous foot long hotdog for only 99 cents. In addition to it’s snack bar specials this particular casino sounded and felt very big as it’s dazzling bright lights, loud screeching slot machine winning bells and screams from jack pot winners all poured out the Casino entrance and onto the streets of Las Vegas Blvd. It was actually the smallest casino on the main strip which had created this atmosphere for carnival draw attraction of which worked very well. Upon reaching the casino door entrance it became more exciting to see a dollar slot machine being played and it’s hopper over filling and spilling the winnings onto the floor only steps away from the entrance. Years later I learned that these players are called shills who are legally hired to sit at special set to continually win machines for the casino. To continue the story, behind the shill was a circle of dollar slot machines with a change girl in the center. She was overly enthusiastic and guaranteed you would win because she worked there and could tell you which one was ready to hit big and pay you thousands of dollars just like the shills machine was paying off. Well to make a long story short, that attendant made change for hundreds of $100, $50 and $20 dollar bills all during her shift. None of the gamblers struck a hot paying slot but I am certain they will remember buying the special 99-cent foot long hot dog. Getting back to the subject of how stupid are we about work at home scams, at the end of this article I will hopefully, like a Hitchcock Story, have left you with sufficient scenarios to derive at your own opinion. After all, no one wants to be called stupid. Not even me, I can do a good enough job criticizing myself. and what I can’t handle my wife takes care of just fine. I completed viewing the Magazine counting a total of 38 Full page adds out of 50 pages total. The remainder pages were smaller adds and then the classified sections. The following is the Main Advertising title of each of those 38 full page adds only.

What Does SEO Stand For?

Not every one is familiar with the term SEO. This is a simple non-technical definition. Simply put, it stands for Search Engine Optimization. It involves choosing the most productive key words and phrases that will most benefit a web sites traffic by increasing search engine ratings. Key words are those most frequently entered by persons looking for information by use of a search engine. We know what search engines are because there is search entry boxes everywhere we go online and even on our home pages. Looking for something? Enter its key words into the search box and click on the search button. The results you get is a list starting with number one the highest rated downward. Also involved in the SEO process is the placing of Meta Tags and site link building . Each search engine uses different ways to rate web sites. Search engines keep secret their rating protocol to prevent Spam from infiltrating the system and to retain credit for productive search results. I think the most important reason is so they can earn revenue from the key word hits sold to advertisers. Henceforth the more control they have over key words the more advertising clients and revenue they can earn. Think of it like TV ratings, the more viewers the more that is charged for the adds. Search engine sites refer to their self’s as spiders or crawlers because when a new site directory is entered it is searched from link to link by robotic crawler or spider programs, It can take days or weeks for a search engine to index a complete web site depending on how much data, pages and links exist. Web sites are also re-visited by search engines more frequently when their data is changed or added to regularly. SEO promotion and marketing firms for a fee will search your entire existing web site and report to you on recommendations and additional features that can be added to in hence your web sites traffic and search engine ratings. Most firms offer ongoing consulting, service and web site monitoring for a fee based on the size of a web site. This can be beneficial since monitoring key words and making needed changes as they occur help keep web Site Efficiency and Optimization at its best.

Perfect Online Opportunities - The Should Not Be List

It just so happens that there is so many negative items offered by online opportunities today that it seems more fitting to just list what an opportunity should not be.

The following are just a few of the author’s researched items that truly relate to what the perfect online opportunity should not be.

(a) It does not require any start up, training, purchase or ongoing fees.

(b) It does not require any product or sponsoring quotas. (c) It does not require you to lie about your earnings to others. (d) It does not cancel your membership or pay due to inactivity or old age. (e) It does not withhold your earnings for any reason. (f) It does not require attending conferences of any type. (g) It does not preach the power of positive thinking. (h) It does not preach the power of universal attraction. (i) It does not preach spiritual, motivational, extorestrial beliefs or otherwise. (j) It does not require donations to charities. (k) It does not retain the right to change any Pre-agreed upon Terms and conditions of sub contracting performed by any independent marketer. (l) It does not retain the right to change any Pre-agreed upon commissions or their structure pay for income production attributed to independent marketers efforts. (m) It does not retain the right to change anything at anytime without cause. (n) It does not manipulate or persuade independent marketers to invest their time and effort into a cause or action without offering monetary compensation. (o) It does not require advertising expenses. (p) It does not claim to run completely on autopilot. (q) It does not fantasize a six-figure income possibility. (r) It does not advocate an extreme urgency to act now or else. (s) It does not advocate it is only looking for serious opportunists. (t) It does not claim to be the best opportunity available online. (u) It does not claim to be the most honest of opportunities online. (v) It does not claim to be your only real paying opportunity online. (w) It does not claim to be truly concerned about its current and future working independent representatives. (x) It does not promote individual or group prize vacations as motivational incentives. (y) It does not sale or distribute self-improvement or mentoring data or programs. (z) It does not lay blame or criticize independent Marketing Representatives that are less successful than the norm. Sorry I ran out of alphabets, but I think the most important have been covered. I could write a lengthy paragraph on each listed lettered item explaining why and what the perfect opportunity should consist of and I may just do that in the near future to assist the lambs entering the work on line search field who are increasingly eaten up by the wolfs daily. Marketers are grown adults that do not need to be treated as if they are children. The most important item a marketer invests is their time and applied knowledge. A marketer is no different than your Gardner; he also deserves to be paid reasonable for his efforts, skills and time invested. Whoever concocted the notion that a marketer should pay a company up front just for the opportunity to peddle their goods is truly a con of all cons. Think about it? Then think about it again? This is nothing more than an old mafia tactic. Just think of all the money you could swindle from honest people by charging them to peddle an item you manipulate them to religiously believe will make them wealthy. Now that’s only one type of online wolf. Be wise and expect all online opportunity offers to be a rip off. Use the power of the Internet against the wolfs by searching data on offers by using several of the different search engines available for free such as MSN, Google, Yahoo etc. It is also important to visit forums that are not funded by the wolfs in order to get true information.

Don’t trust just one of the search engines because the wolfs pay for prime advertising with some of them but rarely all of them. The wolfs are so tricky that they even operate their own sites and forums for listing what opportunities are shams and which are not. Obviously their own scams are the recommended ones. Warning, You will run into these types of sites during your investigative searches and this is why you should do several searches with several different search engines. I hope this article has been educational as well as informative to all those currently seeking income or planning future online work or investment.

What’s The Deal With Search Engine Site Positioning?

Try to learn and understand search engines and how to use them most effectively.

Periodically the crawler or spider portion of the search engine will return to the sites checked prior for any information that has changed. The administration technician of the search engine determines the frequency this occurs.

Like in a book where it contains the table of contents, crawler or spider portions of the search engines index up to a million pages a day. The actual contents, links and references are indexed for all the websites it finds during its search.

When information is entered into a search engine, it is being asked to locate said information, in doing so it actually searches through the index it created, it doesn’t search the Web. Different search engines produce different results because not every search engine uses the same method to search it’s index’s.

One of the things that a search engine looks for is frequency and location of keywords on a web page. It can also detect repeated keywords in meta tags and spamming. Also like google engines, they analyze the way that pages contain links to one another and position the sites most frequently visited at the top of the list presented to searcher. So the websites with the most links and visits accredited them are the first to be shown at the search engines results page.

Multiple links to other websites and from outside web sites to your site will greatly benefit your position in the search engine rankings. Use of your site link within all postings to forums, blogs and e-mails that you write will up your rating.
