    Safety in the Workplace - It is Everybody's Concern
    While safety is a high priority in manufacturing and industrial companies, office safety is also a serious issue that needs the same attention. Accidents and injuries can happen everywhere and the resulting pain and trauma it causes are the same, whether it occurs in a factory or an office. Adequate safety planning needs every employer’s attention.Safety planning begins with a careful survey of the conditions of your work space. Examine areas for potential problems with a critical eye. Hazards are not always obvious. How are desks spaced? What kind of carpet do you have? Where are electrical outlets located in the office as well as the restroom? Is the coffee area clean and uncluttered? Is the pavement in parking areas, curbs, and sidewalks in good repair? Look at any areas that employees use. Sometimes this takes an outsider from your office to look at areas that you m

    Then your link is on a redirect.

    Any form of link that has theirdomain and not yourdomain in the link URL is only of benefit to the other site owner and not you. Links like this point to their domain and not yours which gives the other site the link benefit in the eyes of the search engines.

    How To Select Your Online Business Niche
    Last week I talked about the importance of finding your niche. I mentioned how significant it was to feel passion and interest in your business idea. I received quite a few emails asking for more clarification. So I am writing this next new article to provide more information on finding a niche, but more importantly I am going to show you a tool that will help you determine the perfect niche business idea.First let’s talk about what a niche is, why it is important and how you should narrow the field. A niche is a focused area of concentration. A niche could be about orchids whereas a topic, or non-niche, would be flowers. Orchids are focused. Flowers are topics.It is important to find your niche in business because it answers extremely relevant questions. You must know who your customers are and what they want from you. Choosing a niche almost immediately fills in all blanks about
    If you have a link directory on a website, how do you stop link theft by sites that don't link back, or trick you into thinking they do?

    Whether link theft is anything to get concerned about depends on how many links your website has, the quality of those links (Google Page Rank) and how many of those links you lose. Search Engine Ranking is certainly something that's becoming more dependent upon the links to your website.

    You might be forgiven for thinking that when a website no longer links back to you, that it was an accident your link was removed from the link directory. Of course accidents happen as I know from using some link manager software. Just one click in the wrong box and a website link disappears the next time you update your link directory. But the real link thieves are those people that use methods to rob you of a link.

    Here's 7 Top Ways Link Thieves work and how you can avoid being their next victim.

    1. If a website asks you to exchange links, don't link to them until they have given you the URL location of your link in their link directory. If you link to them first they may forget to add your link.

    2. Visually inspect your link by visiting the website page your link has been placed on. In your web browser, view the source code of the page. In Internet Explorer go to View then Source and this will open up your default text editor.

    Using the text editor search on the page for your website domain and ensure when you find it that the link is a standard text link of the form :
    a href="http://www.yourdomain.com/" target="_blank">Link Title.

    The target="_blank" just launches a new browser window when the link is clicked. The link should have no JavaScript code like: onclick="javascript:newWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com')">Link Title.

    Links like this JavaScript one can be made to look visually identical when viewed in a web page browser, but to a search engine it's as if this link is not there. Whilst a visual inspection to catch this form of theft is always the best, you can catch some, but not all of these types of links by using reciprocal link manager checking software.

    3. Check that your link on the other web sites page is not being put through a redirect. By hovering your mouse over the link, check what link text appears in the status bar of your web browser.

    If your link appears as:
    "http://www.theirdomain.com/page.html" or
    "http://www.theirdomain.com/redirect.asp?id=2273" and not
    "http://www.yourdomain.com"
    Then your link is on a redirect.

    Any form of link that has theirdomain and not yourdomain in the link URL is only of benefit to the other site owner and not you. Links like this point to their domain and not yours which gives the other site the link benefit in the eyes of the search engines.

    Don't link to this site if you want some search engine benefit from the link.

    Why I Prefer Supply and Demand to Keyword KEI
    I had an email this week from someone who asked me why I chose to use supply and demand, rather than KEI when deciding the best keywords to optimize for. I thought some may be interested in my reply. I am sure it will spark some debate, so I have my flame-proof jacket on :O)Here it is:"Yes, KEI is a formula built from supply and demand - the exact same parameters I prefer to use individually.Let me ask you a question.If you had to write an article on one of the two phrases, which one would you pick and why:Phrase 1 - "reviews eddie bauer elite car seat"Phrase 2 - "eddie bauer cosco high back booster 22-859"Both have a KEI of 25, so both should be equally profitable if you trust the KEI figure.You see, my problem is that I just dont have enough information to answer that question. I want to see how many times each are searched for, and h

    Things Do Not Change - We Do
    We live in a world of constant change, and even though the vast majority of these changes are for the better, change is still something that many people – and therefore many organisations – can find extremely difficult to deal with. Why is this, and what can be done to help people embrace change rather than fearing it?The nature of changeChange is all around us. Changes can be small or large, but the overall impression they create is of a world that is in a constant state of flux. Change may be welcome, but for many of us, the reaction to certain changes will be one of automatic resistance, which in turn often results in stress.To accept change is akin to getting used to a new pair of shoes. The new shoes may be more waterproof, more hardwearing and better looking than our old ones, but they will almost certainly not be more comfortable until they are worn in. The amazing t

    An Internet Marketing Strategy for the Mystified
    Ok, you’ve got your web site set up, you are sure that it is search engine friendly and you are pretty certain what your customers want. You’ve identified at least 3 affiliate programs/products that you want to promote and you think that they meet your potential customer’s needs. So now what?Well unfortunately the days, that I can remember, of “build it and they will come” have long gone. Unless you promote your web site – no one will know that you are there and no visitors means no sales. So where so you go from here?Well take a deep breath, a pen and paper and let’s start on your Marketing Strategy. Briefly for a new business, with a relatively inexperienced marketer, your strategy will probably include the following options:* Pay Per Click Advertising * Email Marketing * Community Marketing * Classified AdvertisingSo let’s get sta

    Why Salespeople Fail
    Since 1990 I have focused on the three primary barriers which affect the performance of salespeople:1. Low confidence and self image2. A low sense of personal responsibility for their performance, and3. A low acceptance level of the need to practise selling skillsIn all top performers, and in sales team this might represent only between 15-20% of the population, these barriers have been overcome, or at the very least compensated for.Where many people make the mistake is in assuming that they can solve their overall sales force performance needs by employing people with the opposite of these characteristics.These people only represent some 15-20% of the population anyway and the stark fact is that merely because people are successful elsewhere, this does not guarantee that they will be successful with you. The reason for this is that your management styl
    your link appears as:
    "http://www.theirdomain.com/page.html" or
    "http://www.theirdomain.com/redirect.asp?id=2273" and not
    "http://www.yourdomain.com"
    Then your link is on a redirect.

    Any form of link that has theirdomain and not yourdomain in the link URL is only of benefit to the other site owner and not you. Links like this point to their domain and not yours which gives the other site the link benefit in the eyes of the search engines.

    Don't link to this site if you want some search engine benefit from the link.

    If you just want traffic from visitors clicking on the link, that's the only benefit you'll get.

    4. If you want to get search engine link benefit, don't link to web sites that have dynamically generated link pages. If your link is on a dynamically generated link page the URL of that page could be something like :

    "http://www.theirdomain.com/links/index.php?&lk=5".

    The fact that the URL has a ? or & in the URL means that most search engines will never read that page, so they will never see the link back to your site.

    5. Use the Google Toolbar Page Rank Tool to check the PR of the page your link is on.

    If the PR is 0 but the PR of the home page is much better, this could mean either the link directory is new ( not likely if it has a lot of links ) or there could be something about the page which is preventing Google from reaching it.

    Using your web browser view the page code as in 2 above and check for the robots meta tag at the top of the page between the and tags.

    If it says :
    meta name="robots" content="index,follow" or
    meta name="robots" content="all"
    then all is OK.

    If the tag says :
    meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" or
    meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow" or
    meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" or
    meta name="robots" content="none"

    Then this page is not being given full access to the search engines. Do not link to this sort of page.

    6. If the robots meta tag you checked is OK but you still suspect a problem with a low PR then you should check the sites robots.txt file. To do this type the main URL of the site into a web browser but add robots.txt for example: "http://www.domainyourlinkingto.com/robots.txt"

    The robots.txt file is read by the search engines and it tells it the directory and files it can access. A simple robots.txt file might look something like:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /cgi-bin
    Disallow: /forms
    Disallow: /contact.html

    If the URL of the page you were linking to was: "http://www.domainyourlinkingto.com/dir/web-design.html"

    Then you would want to be sure that in the robots.txt file you should NOT see:

    Disallow: /dir
    Disallow: /dir/web-design.html

    This is telling the search engine robot not to index or follow the links in the link directory called dir and to ignore the link
