Getting Contact Lenses Online
2007-06-09 00:22:00
I genuinely hate getting older. The old bones start to creak and the eyes get fuzzy. Since I'm a web guy by profession, I've always found it much easier to make purchases online and my contact lenses are no different. I tend to get the best prices and service for discount contact lens that I've found from Sanders Contact s.They provide the same quality contacts as your eye-care specialist down the street, but at prices to make you smile. Disposables, bi-focal, color lenses and custom lenses. I've found a wide selection and just about anything I could want. All I had to do was supply my eye doctor's prescription to ensure that they had the information to get my size and shape right. After that, it was just a matter of placing the order and waiting at my mailbox. Ordering was quick and easy and, if I ordered a minimum of 4 boxes, shipping was on them. How cool it that?Shipping is fast and customer service has been top notch. Try them for yourselves at http://www.sanderscontacts.co...

Article Submitter Review
2007-06-07 20:13:00
While article submission isn't anything shockingly new to the world of SEO, many people STILL don't do it... and for good reason. It takes so incredibly long to do manually.I'll admit, I had tried article submission at one point, but after I finally found a few article dircetories to submit my articles to, and then after manually copying and pasting my information into the required textboxes on each submission site, I quickly realized that my time could be better spent doing something else.Then I came across a free program created by Brad Callen and Bryxen Software, Inc. that allows you to automatically submit your articles to hundreds of article directories with a few mouse clicks. Basically all I had to do was input my article criteria into the software, ONCE! Then, the program would automatically fill in all of the required data at each of the submission websites. Pretty incredible if you ask me.The only part I didn't understand was why the program is free... but I can't arg...

I LOVE Stephen King!
2007-06-06 00:46:00
When it's time to relax and take a break from the business world, a good book or movie is one of my favorite escapes. Now, I've always loved a good scare. Things that go bump in the night make me giggle like a school girl! hehe. My favorite author of the macabre is Step hen King . I've been reading his material for years and have loved a few of the movies that Hollywood has made from his books. The Shining is the best, IMO. Both the movie and the book.It's about time for another. A short story of his called 1408 has been made into the 1408 movie and, although I haven't read it, I'm really excited about seeing the film. It's Stephen King! What can I say? ;)Here's the story: Horror author, Mike Enslin (played by John Cusack) is in the midst of writing a new book titled, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." He ventures to the notorious Dolphin Hotel, best known for it's one truly haunted room, Room 1408. Although he writes the books, Enslin is a cynic when it comes to an afterli...

Article Submitter - Increase Your PR and Backlinks
2007-06-05 21:23:00
One the Web, if you do not promote your site, no one knows that you're there. That may produce a "duh! That's so obvious!" from you, but you'd be surprised how many people believe that all they need to do is build a web site and the traffic will come flooding in, breaking down their virtual door to buy what they are selling. That is not the way it works.With the search engine evolving each and every day, it's absolutely critical to not fall into the trap of following the latest and greatest craze for ranking highly in the search engines. Things such as cloaking, keyword stuffing, blog spamming etc. are things that worked at one time, but are definitely not something that will last in the long run. Your website will either get banned for doing something like that, or you simply won't get ranked anywhere and your effort will be in vain.With that said, now is the time to start taking your business seriously. There are legitimate ways to increase your search engine ranking that wil...

You may or may not know by now that one of the pieces of software that I'm absolutely thrilled with is Director y Submitter Gold . The task of submitting my web sites and blogs is a tedious one. I want to get as many backlinks as I can to my sites with as many directories that have higher Google Page Ranks than mine. To do that takes so much time and repetition. Pretty soon the finger cramps set in! hehe. With my new tool, I don't sweat it now!Directory Submitter Gold allows me to set up multiple profiles that contain all the information about my sites that a directory requests: all my personal stats, web site name, description, keywords. I type it in once and I am done. I then go to the list of 2,200 directories (yup, they've added more!), sort it by Alexa score, page rank, type of directory and whether it's a paid one, free one or both. I click in the list, it brings up the directory and all my information from my profile is filled in for me. I just pick the category I want my s...
