The Economy Is Making It Difficult For Job Hunters

People everywhere are nervous about losing their jobs. In the current economic climate, it seems that no job is safe. Whether you have a work-at-home job or you work in an office for a major company, your job safety is uncertain. Most of us haven’t seen such a financially devastating period in our lifetime, and the stress levels of people everywhere are skyrocketing.

To make ends meet, many more people than ever before are seeking second jobs. This means families are undergoing newfound pressures, as the breadwinners are working two jobs and spending less time at home with the family. But of course with the scarcity of jobs these days, the challenge is actually finding two jobs, much less holding either one of them down. Currently, companies all seem to be downsizing and none of them are hiring. Until something changes and a turnaround begins, all of us will be looking over our shoulders wondering, what’s next?

Currently, people are open to taking any job, whether that is working from home or going to a more traditional job. People must have money, and, therefore, jobs so they can pay for the basics such as food and bills. Few of us can recall another era when jobs and money were so scarce. Taking a part time night job is a wise choice if the work is easy enough to allow you to relax a bit. If you have both stressful day and night jobs, your health may soon begin to suffer.

The best type of jobs that you can do out of your home are the kinds you develop yourself. If you can create a job to operate from your home, then you can control what happens. When you are the boss, you can’t get fired or laid off. You may lose clients or suffer from some business lows, but you can’t lose your job. And if you have the patience to wait out the current economic downturn, by the time things improve you’ll be able to continue operating your business out of your home.

At the rate this country is going, there will continue to be daily layoffs of workers, so it’s going to be a long year full of sad stories. In fact, the job market is so shaky right now that everyone could potentially be laid off or fired. Due to this, you must be especially careful now about saving money. You should always save money for a rainy day, as the saying goes. And that rainy day has arrived.

You Must Avoid Scams On Your Way To Making Money Online

One of the first things people hear about when they start to look into making money online is surveys. They might also hear the word scam being bandied about in relation to online surveys and this is not always the truth. A person can use most survey sites to make a little money but probably not much more than that.

A number of these survey sites arent legitimate it is true and that would be most of the ones that require you to pay upfront money. But there are many that are totally legitimate and will never ask you for a cent at any time. Many people make some good spending money on sites like that and it is something you can do in your spare time. It is nice for beginners because they don’t have to invest anything or learn how to have their own website to make money.

Besides surveys, there are other real ways to make money online and more scams along the way as well. One of the scams is the stuffing envelopes from home gig that is advertised all over the net. You will be required to send in some money to get the materials and in the end it will be your job to recruit others just like you. You will have to send out hundreds of envelope packets that you have stuffed which have information about the job. Whether you get any recruits or not will determine whether you get any of your money back. The scam perpetrator wont really care though, as he has already gotten his money from you.

The problem is that so many people look for easy ways to make money when in fact there are very few. Our society is such that people always want to find the easy way out and to do things quickly. Lost is the old way of thought that whatever is worthwhile in life is worth working for. Everybody goes online to find the easy money making system and as a result, they are a great target for the scams.

With the economy and jobs situation being at such a low point, now is the time for people to be doing everything they can to make ends meet. Rather than look for entitlements and easy ways out, they should be looking to work hard and earn an honest dollar. Making money online is possible but just like all things in the real world, it takes hard work. Despite what you have read or heard, those that are willing to learn and to work hard will be successful and able to earn a nice side income online while avoiding the scams.

Zen in the Art of SEO

Originally, our SEO strategy blog was my supposed to be our company’s research checklist for our SEO research team. We used it to essentially be an online notepad that contained a universal theme of our ongoing research projects. Now, the blog is ranking well for search terms like, “SEO strategy” (second page of Google) and other related search terms. I was astounded when I found the blog was ranking on the first page for a few other quality search terms as well. So, how can this happen? We never intended for this blog to rank high for competitive, highly sought after first page placements on Google. A review of these factors might shed light on what elements caused this blog rank high with no traditional SEO technique applied to it.

The fact is that this blog was never intended to be seen by anyone but a small group of SEO professionals sharing findings and asking questions. The notes that we made there are research notes regarding SEO elements that relate to some current clients of mine as well as holistic concepts about Twitter, local map optimization, and new types of domain names that deal with the Trust Rank. The notes are raw and free of any referencing elements or links that might promote another web site with the exception of an RSS feed that we (our team) read to learn more about social media as it relates to SEO.

So, here is the Zen. The blog ranked high for competitive search terms without actions that are typically associated with website promotion such as directory submissions, meta tag optimization, or changes to anchor tags/text. Why? That is the question. The answer is in the following qualities of this blog:

1. This blog had no real intent to promote anything. In a total of 10 posts, it has only 2 outbound links. What does that mean? Every other promotional blog that is purely designed to rank well on Google almost always has a specific “acceptable ratio” of keywords to links. Thus, those blogs are easy for Google to identify as “referencing” or “promoting” blogs as opposed to blogs that are not trying to “game” the search engines, but be a quality information source.

2. There are no ad feeds in this blog. Once again, this blog appears as though it’s not manipulating search engines to attempt to rank high. It just sits here and grows. The content has grown with no outbound linking or other promotional link references.

3. No ad feeds are found in this blog. No Adsense, banners, or other ads are feeding into the blog in question.

4. For the purpose of simply having a short and easy remember place for the blog, we bought a simple but relevant domain name. It was a Blogspot blog prior to this change. This is theory, as most predictions about search engine ranking preferences are, but we have other Blogspot blogs that are stuck in the sand box that have good content. The domain name purchase may have given this page a small vote of confidence because we made a small investment in creating a home for this lonely little blog.

5. The domain name is relevant to the topic. This appears to help rank the blog well; however, with so many other domain names with the same words included in them, it can only be a small factor.

In the end, SEO strategists are constantly trying to interpret from the search engines how to build the right page that will rank well. The search engine philosophies are taught to us through the ranking of the pages we watch and change. So what has this taught me a about Google’s philosophy? Create sincere value without much promotion and advertising and users will like the page so the page may rank higher as a result. Create a page with the intent to promote and it is likely to be treated with a greater degree of scrutiny without the liberal application of better ranking (not Page Rank – note this is a PR 0 that has some first page placements).

So, what does this have to do with Zen in the Art of SEO? If you want to promote, don’t promote – grasshopper.
