I run an article directory on my site, and I'm seeing an increasing number of articles being submitted, solely for the backlink given in the Resource Box. This is probably due to the increasing number of PLR articles and material that is becoming available.

Now, there isn't necessarily anything wrong with this, I just believe that authors who are doing this are missing out on potential traffic and/or customers. Such resource boxes will only benefit their site rankings in any search engine that values incoming links.

Is this a bad thing? No. Where they are losing out is as follows.

Much of the traffic to my article directory comes from search engines, by people searching for information on a specific topic. Now, this user types in their keywords, clicks on the search box, and is given a list of related sites. They chose one, and are taken to the author's article. They read the article about, say, snowboarding, think "This is interesting" and go to the author's resource box at the end of the article to see what else they have to say on this subject. There, they find a link to a site advertising mobile ringtones. Is the reader going to be impressed, or interested in this? Not very likely. They want to find out about snowboarding, not personalize their phone. I believe one of three things will happen then:

The reader leaves the entire site in disgust.
The reader clicks on a link to a related article.
The reader clicks on a related Google AdSense (or similar contextual advertising) ad.

They don't click the author's resource link. That's a potential customer lost, quite probably for good.

Yes, put a link in to your site in the resource box, but most article directories allow several links, so for goodness sake put a link in that' ;s related to the article subject as well, and preferably put it in first, before you lose the customer.

"But my site doesn't have anything to do with that subject on it!"

Then add something that does. Add an article directory, and have the resource box saying "To read more articles on this subject, click here". Add a web directory, and have the text say "To view links to sites on this subject, click here". Or simply go to ClickBank, look for related projects, and have a link to them, with the link saying something like "If you want to learn more on this subject, purchase this product". Preferably, not a direct link to the product, but a cloaked or redirected one.

By doing this, you still get that link to your site that you were after originally, but, additionally, you have the chance to make money from the reader in a new way. A win-win situation. Plus, you don't look like someone simply submitting purchased content on any subject merely for the sake of the backlink it will give you. A much more professional look. Isn't it worth taking the time to make better use of your resource box?

Are you one of those at a  loss on what to do to get their ex girlfriend back after a  bad break up? You may not even be aware,  but such thing is  possible.

You may have the worst  breakup,  however, experiencing a terrible split-up does not  ensue that your relationship has also ended forever.   Successful  couples could  give evidence   that they still have all the  likelihood to reconcile after they were  separated by inevitable  situation.

Haven't you heard about couples reconciling even  after one of them has been found guilty of cheating?  Some even get back  together in spite of the physical  abuse by males.  Even if it may  appear awkward that such a relationship continues, the point is,  you have still chance to win your ex back no matter what the  root of your breakup  may perhaps be.

As humans, we are prone to commit blunders,  and as humans have the capacity to  think, what is essential is to learn from those  mistakes  and never to make them occur again in  the future.

Therefore, don't burn the bridges once a breakup  occurs.  Preserve that connection regardless of how  fragile it may be.  But for you to get your girlfriend back, you  need determination, perseverance, patience and  sincere  motivation to transform yourself.


Continue reading to obtain a few insights on how to win your ex-girlfriend back after you break up:

Remember that we can by no means change nor dictate a person even if she is your girlfriend or your  spouse.  We just possess the power to change  ourselves.

Maybe you have to reassess your manners.  What has to be changed in order to  avoid things that can make your  situation worse. 

Have you been sending her unsolicited text messages hour after  hour,  hopeful that she will  come back to you.  Have you been conniving with her  family  and friends, or have you been spying or following her?  Any of these will just aggravate the circumstances and  may even  drive her farther away from you.   Keep it cool, lay low and give her a breathing space and moment to  reflect on the things that occurred.

If your break up was that terrible, I may  possibly presume that you have been doing a few of the  things I just said.  Nice if  you have  not.  However do not punish yourself by  indulging in any destructive activity.  No,  don't drown yourself with  hard drinks, nor drugs. These  won't help you in any way.  In fact, you are inviting  likelihood of losing her for good.

Strive to request support from  people you may lean on.  Speak to your  best friend, your family or any relatives who you think will understand  your condition.  Keeping those feelings inside you is  hazardous to your emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing.  Pour you heart out.  Cry if you  want.  There's nothing improper for a male to shed tears in  situations like this. Needless to say, these will help you feel  better (not bitter).

Your next move may be somewhat hard to  accomplish, but this is  imperative if you intend  to get her  back.  This is simply acceptance of what happened and  allow yourself to feel the true feeling regardless how  heartbreaking it may be.   Rejection of what had occur will just  bring  negative consequences and could lead you to act destructively.

Acceptance, however, does not mean dropping or losing all the hopes of repairing a broken  relationship. At this point you are still her man  and nothing can  change it. All you need is to go over what happened  and learn from it.  Time and distance heal wounds, so allow her  as well as yourself to take time off to  analyze what happened.

Allow a cooling stage, then sort out all that has been disarrayed  by reversing what had occurred between you.  Be more careful  then.  Avoid the  risk of  doing whatever thing that might drive her away again.  Bear in mind,  we make things better through our mistakes.

Yes, you can straight away  boost your probability of getting her back by  discovering the unseen secret methods that you  can  make use of.   Click here now or else it may be too late. 

Ways to plan for your child’s future

Your parents built a sound moral and financial base for you to study and establish your career. Hence, it is natural for you to wish that your kid’s financial plan is similarly set right in order to ensure a smooth run up when your children grow up and become independent. However, with the vagaries of the markets and the range of products available, you get confused and are unable to come up with a plan that will deliver exactly what you need for your child's future.

Were you aware that a four-year degree course can amount to as much as US$166,241 (Australia), US$238,188 (Britain), US$236,682 (US), US$104,480 (Canada)? A similar course in India is cheaper but on an average, can still come up to a significant amount. In this case, we have considered approximate fees in current times, which do not include inflation and future increase in fees! Therefore, earlier you set your child’s financial plan in motion, easier it is for you to meet loftier targets, without the need to take excessive risk or exposure. For reference: Beginning to plan as early as when your child is one year old is considered a safe point.

There are a number of ways to go about ensuring that you have sufficient funds when your child's university entrance beckons:
1. Savings in the bank
2. Public Provident Fund (PPF)
3. Stocks
4. Insurance
5. Mutual Funds

Savings in the bank
We do not recommend you to keep money in the bank at the savings rate of 3.5-4% p.a. in order to accumulate funds for your child's education. If you have some time on your side, you should invest your savings to get better returns.

Public Provident Fund
PPF has a lock-in period of 15 years. Therefore, it is ideally suited when you start putting the money once your kid is born; so that by the time your kid is ready for college, you have sufficient money. In addition, investing in the PPF account saves income tax as the interest earned from it is tax free. You can also open a minor account for your child apart from your own PPF account. However, the upper limit of INR 70,000 per account still holds for each account.
