BUSINESS BLOG POST! FIVE COOL WAYS TO GET RANKED BY ALEXA!

Published by:

1. Install the Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and set your blog as your homepage. This is the most basic step.

2.Put up an Alexa rank widget on your website. I did this a few days ago and receive a fair amount of clicks every day. According to some, each click counts as a visit even if the toolbar is not used by the visitor.

3.Encourage others to use the Alexa toolbar. This includes friends, fellow webmasters as well as site visitors/blog readers. Be sure to link to Alexa’s full explanation of their toolbar and tracking system so your readers know what installing the toolbar or extension entails.

4.Work in an Office or own a company? Get the Alexa toolbar or SS Firefox extension installed on all computers and set your website as the homepage for all browsers. Perhaps it will be useful to note that this may work only when dynamic or different IPs are used.

5.Get friends to review and rate your Alexa website profile. Not entirely sure of its impact on rankings but it might help in some way.

Any more tips to add?

Picture this! Republican Presidential Candidate Mcain picks a female vice president! Sarah Palin!

Published by:

According to yahoo,“Two senior campaign officials had disclosed McCain’s decision a few hours before the Republican presidential nominee-to-be and his newly-minted running mate appeared at a rally in swing-state Ohio.Palin, like McCain, is a conservative with a maverick streak who has shown a willingness to clash with others in her own party. A self-styled hockey mom and political reformer, she has been governor of her state less than two years.Palin’s selection shocked numerous Republican officials.”

OH NO! MARY KAY DRAMA I GUESS SOME PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT BEING SOLD IN NIGERIA! A MUST READ!

Published by:

Check out this hilarious article culled from some random blog. Hey these are not my words but thought you all might want to know. Written by some TRACY MKWANNABE

“Mary Kay in Nigeria

For a few months, the topic of Mary Kay products in Nigeria has been popping up. Evidence suggests that Mary Kay Cosmetics are being sold in Nigeria, even though the company is not “officially” there and prohibits exporting and selling in countries where the company is not established.

There have also been questions about Nigerian directors in Mary Kay, who seem to have production numbers far beyond the norm, even for “top” directors. How is that possible unless their units are responsible for supplying the whole country of Nigeria with their Mary Kay favorites?

Our detectives went to work and came up with some interesting information… (And scroll all the way to the bottom for my take on all of it.)

THere’s a Nigerian online shopping site with plenty of Mary Kay products available.

There is an advertisement for “Nigerian sisters” who want to sell Mary Kay:

Then there’s Hermon-Dew , a “…global franchise company that produces, and distributes high brands products.” Below is their “About” page, and you can click here to see the page that advertises Mary Kay products.

So what do I think of all of this? There’s obviously a market for Mary Kay products in Nigeria. And everyone who sells and ships there is blatantly violating their contracts with Mary Kay.

Why should Mary Kay crack down on the directors who are involved in this? They’re producing huge numbers for the company, so there’s no incentive. A couple of these directors will do $2 million retail ($1 million) wholesale each this year. That’s enough money for Mary Kay to look the other way, I suppose.

But even if Mary Kay did crack down and terminate these directors, they still don’t win. Mary Kay has been so selective in their enforcement of their contracts, that they’re damned if they do and damned if they don’t. Why enforce the contracts with some and not others? So unless Mary Kay is going to systematically weed out every cheating director, why even bother?

These ladies are truly hilarious or what do you say readers!
