Live Footage of the BP Oil Spill!

Well it's been 85 days since BP screwed up the ocean after an Offshore Oil Drilling Expedition went horribly wrong! Since then BP Global has single-handedly put hundreds if not thousands of people out of work in the Gulf of Mexico and has deterred any if not all beach goers/tourists who were dreaming about soaking up some sun rays after this harsh 2009-2010 winter was finally over.


If any of you are interested here is live footage of the efforts made on BP's part to replace the Oil Containment Cap that they broke along with a counter clock on how many gallons of oil has spilled into the Gulf and how many days it's been since the whole thing started.





                    

                          



p.s - I wrote an article on Offshore Oil Drilling Pros and Cons way before it started Click Here to check it out.
p.p.s - I will continue to update this particular post periodically so bookmark this page, tweet this post, or send a shout out with the facebook button or any of the social netowork buttons. It does doesn't matter how just stay in touch with the TTR Web Matrix for updates!

Effective Article Marketing

When your marketing through your articles, it's a Million times better to write good quality articles rather than to churn out your everyday crap-of-the-meal mass produced junk, but we'll just call them junk articles from now on. You don't have to be an award winning writer to put out a great article. What makes a great article: 

  • Simplicity, don't make it too complicated and remember synonyms can serve as a great replacement for large, difficult to pronounce, or rarely used words.
  • Relate, your experiences in the article, if you have none be honest about that while at the same time encouraging others to share their experiences with similar services and products to what your offering then highlight the pros and cons of both in you favor, this will offset bad press due to lack of experience with a particular service or product and shows you're open to every one's thoughts and/or concerns.
  • Spelling and Grammar, is a big one. Who will recommend a product or service that's being marketed in an article filled with misspelled words, poor punctuation, or Internet jargon...no one comes to mind I thought not. People are less focused on spelling and grammar when it's on a personal website or some other platform that's not meant specifically to attract their wallets, but when it  comes to Article Marketing it's shape up or ship out. So try running your article through a spelling and grammar check program before publishing then reread it yourself just to be sure.
  • Prove it, site your sources for your findings in your article geared towards getting people to open not only their minds but their wallets. If you don't have any specific sources that readers can go check out themselves then detail what research you did to come to the conclusion and basic point of your article this well win you some brownie points with your readers.
Now that we've gotten those Article Writing basics out of the way lets move on to some Article Marketing Do's and Don'ts:

Do write articles that provide solid information that shows how your product or service can be helpful to the needs of your readers/potential customers.

Don't boast about your company or you, save that for the media(or press releases)simply highlight and inform others about how your products and/or services can be of help or service to them.

Do select article topics that would allow you to some shed light on the things unknown or that simplify the complicated.

Don't write about topics that are too broad in range try to narrow down the topic to specifics. Lets say you right an article on Marketing Strategy, you wouldn't name the article 'Marketing Strategy' that's too broad and because of that it would probably get overlooked or ignored by readers because they aren't sure if your article is what they're looking for and since there are some many article just like your on the Internet they wouldn't take the time to read it, for fear of it being disappointing and a waste of time.

Do learn what makes a good headline. A lot of effective headlines include numbers, provide content specifics, and power words(great key words).
you want

Don't take headlines or article tags for granted you NEED them if you want to not only want to get your article read but found through search engines, being found through a search engine translates to free organic traffic.

I hope I've helped you with your venture into effective article marketing and if I have I'd really like to know so leave a comment on how this post has helped you in some way. Best Wishes :-)

The World Wide Rave

What is a World Wide Rave?

No, it's not a massive rave party that's happening at the same time all around the world but just in different places. WWR is when a mass amount of people around the globe can't stop talking about you, your company, and your products. And when online buz drives buyers, bloggers, and fans to your site simply because they want to be there.

How do you achieve World Wide Rave Status?

Those of you who are Star Wars junkies should recognize this next quote "You must unlearn what you have learned." this phrased was quoted by Yoda in Star Wars. So how do you "unlearn" things we here are a few pointers:

  1. Unlearn the use of jargon(or slang) about your products or services, instead try to get rig to the needs and/or problems of your buyer persona's(identity).
  2. Unlearn spin(invented stories or lies). Realize that people not only crave but applaud and respect authenticity along with transparency. 
  3. Unlearn interrupting people with messages(aka:bothersome pop ups). Go the opposite direction and just publish the content that they want to read.
  4. Unlearn being egotistical(self-interested) forcing others to adapt  your terms. Create online content geared towards addressing buyer needs as well.
  5. Unlearn the assumption(hypothesis)that charging for access is a plus, because that isn't always the case. If you create something that becomes popular enough to rank WWR status then don't put the price tag on the access to your content put it on the product or service it self and then let the millions of people connected to the Internet tell & sell your story for you.
Even though this may sound a wee-bit overbearing right now just try to take it one step at a time an see how far it gets you. Don't forget that you have my happiest thoughts and best wishes, Thank You for reading come back soon :-)

It's a tool that allows you to type in any key word or phrase and it gives you a whole list of relevant keywords and phrases to the word or phrase you typed plus how many times that word was searched in in the last say.. a month or a year and then you take the most searched key words and phrases and insert them into your Meta Tags. Then after that, all you do is sit back and watch the search engines fight it out gladiator style to index your site!

Whaling is becoming an even bigger problem than before!

In a stunning instance of what can only be called collective cognitive dissonance, a small working group of the International Whaling Commission has just proposed we reinstate commercial whaling in order to save the whales.


Make no mistake: This proposal has nothing to do with saving whales, but is instead all about protecting the whaling industries of just a few obstinate countries who insist on destroying these amazing creatures. This proposal is the most serious threat to the moratorium on commercial whaling that we’ve seen since Greenpeace fought for and won the moratorium in the 80s.


Greenpeace activists witness the killing of whales in the Southern Ocean by the Yushin Maru and the Kyo Maru No.1 ships of the Japanese whaling fleet. © Greenpeace / Jeremy Sutton-Hibbert



While some US officials have been insisting that they are not supporting the proposal, we are very concerned about reports that the U.S. IWC Commissioner is not only supporting it but in fact pushing other countries to support it as well. The US position will be clarified at a meeting of the International Whaling Commission in St. Petersburg, FL next Tuesday and Wednesday.



Greenpeace vehemently opposes the proposal because:


  • It would allow whaling to take place in the Southern Ocean whale sanctuary. Not only would the killing of whales there continue, it would be legitimized.
  • By legitimizing all whaling, the proposal would secure the future of whaling instead of seeking to phase it out. With a single stroke, this proposal would reverse nearly three decades of progress in protecting endangered whale species.
  • It will set interim quotas – the number of whales each country is allowed to catch – based on political need, not scientific evidence. Nothing could be more disastrous to fragile whale populations than caving to political pressure rather than listening to scientists about the best way to protect healthy whale populations.
  • Adding insult to injury, the proposal would pass the costs of regulating whaling on to all members of the IWC, meaning that the taxpayers of even anti-whaling countries will be forced to support whaling operations.
GreenPeace is aiming to kill this atrocious, unscientific proposal before it even gets voted on, which will be at the IWC’s annual meeting in June. They’ll need your aid and support if we’re to achieve that goal, though.

Offshore oil drilling is it a Good thing or Bad thing???


free glitter text and family website at FamilyLobby.com




1. True or False? - The U.S. burns 24% of the world’s oil but only has 3% of the world’s oil reserves…..TRUE    
     But is their really any correlation (or connection) between increased oil drilling and lower gas prices!? The number of drilling permits did increase 361% from 1999-07 but still that didn’t stop gas prices from more than doubling in less than a decade!2. So will more oil drilling result in lower gas prices for the U.S.? I think not. WHY? Cause crude oil prices are set by the Global Oil Market and that means that all of the oil produced around the world is sold at the same price -Translation for gas suppliers buy high sell higher- and U.S. citizens wouldn’t get a mark down on gas prices just because we are drilling on U.S. soil.
3. Did you know? - That the U.S. requires all automobiles to achieve 35 mpg by the year 2020 we will then be saving 1 MILLION barrels of oil per day!!!

OH! NO! The Amazon Rainforest is in Danger!



The Brazilian Congress, influenced by the agribusiness sector, seeks to change the Forest Code in Brazil to open more of the Amazon rainforest to be cleared. Not only will this destroy forested areas in the Amazon no longer protected by the Forest Code, but the clearing and burning of these lands will release millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere—making the impacts of climate change much worse.



  • The proposals to weaken the Forest Code include:
    A 250% increase in the percentage of land a farmer is allowed to clearcut (from 20% to 50%)
  • Allowances for farmers to replant exotic tree species such as palm trees and eucalyptus in Legal Reserves that are intended to be native rainfores


The region has already lost almost 18% of the forest cover—an area larger than France—in the last 40 years. In theory, the change being discussed by the Brazilian Congress would immediately apply to 36% of the Amazon in the hands of the private sector.


If these changes to the Forest Code pass, they will stimulate deforestation, increased greenhouse gas emissions, land grabbing, and disputes over land rights in the Amazon. The Forest Code would legally allow for millions of acres of the Amazon to be deforested and then burned to further clear the land for grazing cattle or planting soy.


All this could happen under the protection of the law if we don't stop it. Please send the message below to the Brazilian Congress today. It's important they recognize that the world depends on the Amazon for our survival, and the world is watching Brazil. Please take a moment to sign the petition below that is being signed by people all around the world.


Say No To Brazilian Congress!
