Life in the Philippines

Life In The Philippines

The Philippines was in the news recently as the Army stepped up its offensive in Mindaneao as a result of ambushes by Muslim militant groups in the Zamboanga Area. A full scale offence including helicopters and aircraft resulted in many thousands of innocent people having to flee their homes for safety just so the army can apprehend some 100 odd men.

Although we are not close to the area soldiers appeared in our town and a curfew is in force from 10PM as they try to stop the Muslim extremists from leaving the area. So it seems even living in Paradise can have it drawbacks.

Apart from this life pretty well goes on as normal and Christmas decorations are beginning to appear everywhere. yesterday I heard by first Christmas carol on the local radio, Jingle bells - hard to envisage snow here in the tropics, although a year or so ago I did see snow when I climbed Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia.

I have to travel to Dipolog tomorrow to get an Xray of a tooth I damaged when mountain biking, in preparation to have it crowned. The local Dentist does not have the facilities.

Until the next time

Sell my House

Marketing Your Business

Today is a departure from my usual tips, as I discovered new company with a unique marketing plan which not only can save people money when moving house but can also be turned into a business. The worlds finances are still in dire strakes and many people are struggling to sell houses to reduce their debt burden. The problem is there are few buyers and the costs of moving house can mount up quickly. I should know having moved house earlier this year.

• The company provides a free listing for all sellers and if the property is not sold in 12 weeks pay the seller a small weekly compensation until sold.
• Buyers are also encouraged to use the service and will have legal fees and survey paid plus 50% of removals costs.

That is a win win situation for both parties, but how can they afford all this, the answer is advertising, you see moving home incurs many ancillary costs and companies are only to keen to keen to have advertising on high traffic sites listed in Alexa. On top of which they have a number of international investors.

So now what of the business side, well interested parties can buy a franchise for a particular area and earn commissions on all sales in that area, in addition they can earn money from sub affiliates either in their area or from anywhere in the world. Now I think they have all angles covered and we will have to see how everything pans out, The only thing I do not like is the early starter Guarantees, which sound a bit get rich quick, but I can understand this is needed in order to get the all areas covered as soon as possible and the guarantees will not last forever.

Top SEO Results Tips
Marketing your business

I had an interesting call today from someone looking for an e-mailing system, asking if Veremail would suit her needs, she wanted to be able to upload unlimited lists and send mail out on a regular basis. I explained that Veremail could handle this easily and would ensure that the mail was spam compliant and subscribers would are given a change to remove themselves from her list with a link at the bottom of every e-mail.

She was surprised to learn that Veretekk supplies its subscribers with daily lead and when I showed her her back office there were already 1000 leads that she could send messages to, all she has to do is to build up a number of messages and place them in the Veremail auto responder system. There are also options to put subscriber forms on any web site to bring in more leads. A further surprise was that she can host web pages with Veretekk and build blogs and pages on some of the sub domains included with the hosting, so has no more need to spend extra money/

She was really happy that by paying less than $55 per month not only she can she use a mailing system but can also generate her own leads at the same time.

Veretekk is a popular marketing tool however many people get bogged down in the back office and fail to realise that is what they are needing is leads for their business there is a simple solution.

Provided that you have some auto responder messages to send out to your leads then all you need to do is is purchase a number of Gold systems. now you might ask why purchase multiple Gold systems. the answer is simple if someone sign up up via the Veretekk route domain rather than your sub domain, then these leads are passed exclusively with Gold subscribers. So the more systems you own the more Premium leads you will receive in addition to your own marketing.

All the Veretekk portals have default setting designed to capture leads and if you do not have time to reset them to boost your own marketing these portals will still provide hundreds of daily lead to which you can send your auto responder messages to.

In addition to providing leads you can save/earn money by placing accounts one below the other down to three levels.

I always suggest that when you first sign up at Veretekk you enter your own name as your user/account name. Many people do not understand the importance for this but it the first part of branding yourself, You need to have a good image on the Internet so that if someone enters your name in a search engine they will be able to find out about you, trust you and hopefully work with you and your business. Your second gold you sign up from your own account (money saving hint sign up up for silver first then give yourself a free 30 day gold trial) Make sure you select a good keyword phrases as user name to promote your business. signing up in this way will reduce you subscription by $10.

You can then repeat the process and sign up again in your second account which will give you a further monthly saving of $5.

There is one further level you can go down to if you wish and this will double your total monthly savings to $30.

The third level is where you can earn the best money, for every account opened at your third level you will earn a commission of $15 and by using the method outlined above you will also earn a further $5 and $10, in other words $30 out of the $55 subscription will come to you at the third, helping to build another income stream alongside your business.

Your outlay for using this strategy is $140 per month which is a lot less than many people pay for leads and you will have a collection of some 120 portals proving leads and promoting your business.

When you have time you can look into the other features of Veretekk, the conference rooms, mentoring web hosting and social marketing feature which help build your business and income on the Internet.

Dipolog Houseand Lot For Sale

Dipolog house and lot for sale - Roofing

Most houses in the Philippines use a metal roof as they are cheap and easy to replace however unless they are insulated they are a veritable heat trap in the tropics. people have tried Terracota tiles but they can crack in the heat or become discoloured over time. I have decided that the roof of my Dipolog house and lot for sale will be done with ashfelt roof shingles which offer a far more affordable option than sheet metal or concrete roof tiles.

As a roofing material roof shingles offer a far more practical solution today, they not only look great fixed to any roofing structure but they also offer more rewarding energy conservation because of the insulation quality that is associated with asphalt shingles. By using a more energy conscious roofing material alternative you are helping to protect the environment in which we all live. Quality roofing materials will bring your Dipolog house and lot for sale to life with a more modern look that will value you add to your homes resale value.

Traditional metal roofs fade and can rust not to mention the leaking issues and noise issues. Metal roofs have a tendency to make large expansion bangs on hot days as well as offer poor insulation qualities. Whilst traditional tiled roofs can crack in extreme weather conditions, crack from hail, leak and be very expensive to replace, not to mention the maintenance issues associated with roof tiles.

It is an obvious choice roof shingles make the very best roofing material choice and with more Dipolog house and lot home owners choosing roof shingles on new home construction as well as home renovations due to the light weight, better insulation and strength qualities.

Does Page Rank matter?

Many people swear by page rank and if you look at most SEO companies they tend to build back links to sites with high page ranks. There is a drawback to this technique because if a site with a high page rank is linked to one with a lower page rank the value gets reduced. this is why some site owners will not accept reciprocal link.

I used to worry about page ranks but came to realise that they are no longer rel event, so now i do not bother with them. If you concentrate on the basics of providing good content on a regular basis the search engine bots will reward you for your effort.

A lot of people tend to send the wrong message in their copy, concentrating on the hard sell rather than providing quality information about their product. You need to realise that we are in an information age, that is why so many people look things up on Google. So its natural that search engine robot bots are designed to search out information which will answer peoples queries.

What does this mean for you, you as an advertiser need to write copy for robots not for real people. take for example a online classified advert you can forget about using flash,colours, pictures, or sound because robots with a few exceptions are colour blind and deaf. plain text is fine, if you use HTML stick to basic formatting such as p br h1 h2 and links, that is all that is required.

Health Weight Loss

Weight Loss Success

Eating well is an important part of maintaining good health, and can help you feel your best. It can be simple too. Just follow these eight tips to get started.

The two keys to a healthy diet are:

1. Eat the right number of calories for how active you are, so that you balance the energy you consume with the energy you use. If you eat too much, you'll put on weight. If you eat too little you'll lose weight. The average man needs around 2,500 calories a day. The average woman needs 2,000 calories.
2. Eat a wide range of foods to ensure that you're getting a balanced diet and that your body is receiving all the nutrients it needs.

These practical tips cover the basics of healthy eating, and can help you make healthier choices:

1. Base your meals on starchy foods
   Starchy foods include potatoes, cereals, pasta, rice and bread. Choose wholegrain varieties when you can: they contain more fibre, and can make you feel full for longer. Starchy foods should make up around one third of the foods you eat.

   Most of us should eat more starchy foods: try to include at least one starchy food with each main meal. Some people think starchy foods are fattening, but gram for gram they contain fewer than half the calories of fat.

2. Eat lots of fruit and veg
   It's recommended that we eat at least five portions of different types of fruit and veg a day. It's easier than it sounds. A glass of 100% unsweetened fruit juice can count as one portion, and vegetables cooked into dishes also count. Why not chop a banana over your breakfast cereal, or swap your usual mid-morning snack for some dried fruit? Learn more in 5 A DAY.

3. Eat more fish Fish is a good source of protein and contains many vitamins and minerals. Aim for at least two portions a week, including at least one portion of oily fish. Oily fish is high in omega-3 fats, which may help to prevent heart disease. You can choose from fresh, frozen and canned; but remember that canned and smoked fish can be high in salt. Oily fish include salmon, mackerel, trout, herring, fresh tuna, sardines and pilchards. Non-oily fish include haddock, plaice, coley, cod, tinned tuna, skate and hake. Anyone who regularly eats a lot of fish should try to choose as wide a variety as possible.

4. Cut down on saturated fat and sugar
   We all need some fat in our diet. But it's important to pay attention to the type of fat we're eating. There are two main types of fat: saturated and unsaturated. Too much saturated fat can increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood, which increases your risk of developing heart disease. Saturated fat is found in many foods, such as cakes, pies, biscuits, sausages, cream, butter, lard and hard cheese. Try to cut down, and choose foods that contain unsaturated rather than saturated fats, such as vegetable oils, oily fish and avocados.

   Most people in developed countries eat too much sugar. Sugary foods and drinks are often high in calories, and could contribute to weight gain. They can also cause tooth decay, especially if eaten between meals. Cut down on sugary fizzy drinks, cakes, biscuits and pastries, which contain added sugars: this is the kind of sugar we should be cutting down on rather than sugars that are found naturally in foods such as fruit and milk. Food labels can help: use them to check how much sugar foods contain. More than 15g of sugar per 100g means that the food is high in sugar.

5. Eat less salt
   Even if you don't add salt to your food, you may still be eating too much. About three-quarters of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as breakfast cereals, soups, breads and sauces. Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke. Use food labels to help you cut down. More than 1.5g of salt per 100g means the food is high in salt. Adults and children over 11 should eat no more than 6g of salt a day. Younger children should have even less.

6. Get active and be a healthy weight Eating well plays an important part in maintaining a healthy weight, which is an important part of overall good health. Being overweight can led to health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes. Being underweight could also affect your health.If you're trying to lose weight, healthy food choices will help: aim to cut down on foods that are high in fat and sugar, and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. You can find information and advice to help in Lose weight. If you're underweight, see Underweight adults. If you're worried about your weight, ask your GP or a dietitian for advice.

   Physical activity can help you to maintain a healthy weight. Being active doesn't have to mean hours at the gym: you can find ways to fit more activity into your daily life. For example, try getting off the bus one stop early on the way home from work, and walking.

7. Drink plenty of water Try to drink about six to eight glasses of water (or other fluids) a day to prevent dehydration. When the weather is warm or when we get active, we may need more. But avoid soft and fizzy drinks that are high in added sugars. Remember: When thinking about alcohol, there is nothing wrong with the occasional drink, but drinking too much can cause serious health problems. Alcohol is also high in calories, so cutting down could help you to control your weight.

8. Don't skip breakfast Some people skip breakfast because they think it will help them lose weight. In fact, research shows that eating breakfast can help people control their weight. A healthy breakfast is an important part of a balanced diet, and provides some of the vitamins and minerals we need for good health. Wholemeal cereal, with fruit sliced over the top is a tasty and nutritious breakfast.

Nopal Cactus Juice Reduces inflammation
I am surprised and absolutely delighted at how well Nopalea is working for me

"I have been living with high blood sugar and chronically stiff, swollen and painful joints for many years. these conditions have produced debilitating fatigue, decreased range of motion and sever joint pain. Inflammation is something I have experienced on a daily basis. Medication has only been partial helpful in alleviating these symptoms.

At first I was very skeptical a the thought of trying Nopalea, but then I started the Loading Phase. I am surprised and absolutely delighted at how well Nopalea is working for me. I sleep better and wake up feeling more fully rested. I have stamina and energy during the entire day. My body feels much better and my general sense of well being has dramatically improved. The flexibility and function of my joins are showing improvement and the deformities on my hands are beginning to diminish in size.

I am grateful to have hope again and to be able to look forward to continued better health and productive energy"
