Weight Loss Fads and Fallacies

2009-03-22T15:55:00.000+07:00

Looking for a fast and easy miracle that will help you shed those unwanted pounds? There are hundreds of products, potions and plans that promise to deliver just that. The problem is, if any of them actually worked for long-term weight control, then overweight and obesity would not be a major public health concern.

There is a lot of money to be made in weight loss remedies, and John Q. Public is ready and willing to buy. In fact, Americans spend about 35 billion dollars a year on weight loss products and services. Some of the remedies are a harmless waste of money, but others are downright dangerous. This article will describe some of the fad diets and products marketed for weight loss that are popular today, and how to judge if a weight loss plan is safe and effective.

What Is a Fad?

A fad is something that is popular for a short period of time but then loses its appeal. Fad diets become popular because they often have a new gimmick that gives people who have been fighting the battle of the bulge new hope. These diets often result in quick weight loss, which is why they become popular, but do not promote the permanent healthy lifestyle changes that are needed to maintain weight loss, which is why they lose appeal.

Quick Is Good, Right?

People who are trying to lose weight naturally want to see fast results. That’s human nature. Quick weight loss can actually backfire, though. When a person loses weight rapidly, a lot of lean tissue is lost along with fat tissue. The loss of lean tissue causes a reduction in the basal metabolic rate, or the rate at which calories are burned at rest. So after the “diet” is over, the person needs much fewer calories to maintain their weight than before the diet. This increases the likelihood of regaining the weight – and then some. In order to prevent loss of lean tissue and a reduced metabolic rate, weight loss should be no more than one to two pounds a week.

Low Carbohydrate Diets

Right now, low carbohydrate diets such as Dr. Atkin’s diet are popular for weight loss. People who were around in the 1970s may remember the first time the Atkin’s diet became popular. Many people lost weight, which resulted in the diet’s popularity, but then many gained it back, and the diet’s popularity faded. Dr. Atkin’s diet has recently made a resurgence, with many reports of dramatic weight loss.

A low carbohydrate diet, especially if it has less than 100 grams of carbohydrate, will cause a large water weight loss the first week. The body stores carbohydrate as glycogen, and glycogen holds water. So when you restrict your carbohydrate intake, you lose not only glycogen, but also water. That means that when you start eating carbohydrates again, you will experience an immediate weight gain of about five to seven pounds as your glycogen stores return.

Studies that have been done to date generally indicate that the main determinant of weight loss is the number of calories consumed, not the proportion of carbohydrates and protein. In addition, some low carbohydrate diets are high in saturated fat, which is not healthy, especially if followed long-term. A high protein intake can also cause calcium loss from the bones if calcium intake is low and stress the kidneys in those at risk for kidney disease. People on low carbohydrate diets can lose weight –if they consume fewer calories than they burn, but a low carbohydrate diet may not be realistic (or safe) for the rest of their lives.

Weight Loss Products

Stores have entire shelves devoted to weight loss products. The products will “work,” as long as the individual consumes fewer calories than they burn. One such product requires that you take their product three hours before you go to bed, and you are not allowed to eat anything after taking the product. People lose weight with this product because they stop snacking at night.

Other weight loss supplements contain ingredients like ephedra, or Ma Huang, which may increase the metabolic rate. Ephedra, however, has been associated with irregular heart beat and some deaths. You should always consult a physician before taking any weight loss supplement.

Why Diets Don’t Work

When people go “on” a diet, that implies that one day they will go “off” the diet, and often back to the old eating habits that led to the excess weight in the first place. And, when diets are overly restrictive, “forbidden” foods often become even more desirable. A cycle of dieting can ensue where a person starts a strict diet, gives in to cravings and “blows” the diet, then eats large quantities of the forbidden foods because they won’t be able to eat them when they start the diet over. They start the diet again, only to “blow it” again, binge… and many times the person actually starts gaining weight with the attempt at dieting.

Again, there is no quick and easy solution to permanent weight loss. No product, device or magic cure has been proven to cure obesity. A total lifestyle change, including healthy eating habits and increased activity that leads to taking in fewer calories than are burned is necessary for weight loss. And the new lifestyle has to be maintained in order to keep the weight off.

And remember, when it comes to weight loss, one size does not fit all. There is more than one healthy way to eat, and each person needs to find a way to eat healthy that is the right fit for their individual needs.

How to Recognize a Fad Diet

So how do you know if a weight loss plan is sound? Here are some tips:

1. A sound weight loss plan incorporates both good nutrition and exercise.
2. A sound weight loss plan does not advocate an overly restrictive diet. Less than 1200 calories a day is not recommended.
3. A sound weight loss plan has a food plan that offers variety, moderation, and balance. No one food group is excluded or recommended in excessive amounts.
4. A sound weight loss program incorporates healthy eating behaviors that can be followed for a lifetime. There is no “going on” or “going off” the diet.

Here are some signs that a weight loss plan is a fad:
1. Promotes quick weight loss.
2. Limits food choices.
3. Promotes food rituals, such as food combining.
4. Claims to be fast, easy and work for everyone.
5. Requires purchasing expensive supplements.
6. Does not promote permanent change.
7. Does not include exercise or activity.

Summary
If you have questions about a weight loss plan, ask a healthcare professional. Changing lifestyle habits is not easy, and you may need support. The good news is that even a small weight loss of ten to fifteen pounds can result in significant improvements in health. And when it comes to special weight loss product, remember, “Let the buyer beware”!

Friend vs. Friendster: The new social networks

Friendster: the Beginning

When I returned to Brown this past fall, after spending the spring semester in Helsinki, I started hearing about Friendster – usually in the context of a housemate coming down to the kitchen going on about "this girl Petra – do you know her? She just tried to Friendster me but I have no idea where she knows me from, it's so sketchy" or "Jess is on Friendster, finally!"

Eventually I discovered that Friendster was a part of a nascent internet phenomenon known either as ASN (Artificial Social Networks - Weinberger) or, tongue-in-cheek, YASN (Yet Another Social Network - boyd). These websites all work along similar lines: users create profiles and link them to other user's profiles. However, they differ as to the purpose that their creators had in mind. Some deal in career networking (LinkedIn.com), others are to share photos (Flickr.com), or to create a space for recommendations and to do garage-sale-like business (Tribe.net). TheFacebook.com is currently becoming the ASN of choice for (elite) university students, while Google just launched Orkut, an invitation-only ASN.

Friendster is not the oldest ASN, but since its launch in the fall of 2002 it has become the eponymous ASN and is certainly the one most widely used in my circle of friends (although TheFacebook.com may change that soon). Originally it was created as a dating network, with the idea that friends-of-friends would make more suitable dates than random characters from Nerve.com. However, very few of the people I talked to about Friendster admitted using it for finding potential dates. Mostly it was seen as a kind of photo album-cum-mass messaging device (and of course, a prime procrastination tool).

Social Networks, real and artificial

Human beings, as social beings, are connected to each other through social ties. This obvious fact nevertheless harbors some surprises, since these ties combine to make a network, and exactly how networks work is only beginning to be understood by physicists and mathematicians such as Albert-Laszlo Babarasi and Mark Buchanan. One of the pioneering discoveries about social networks (which can be translated to other networks as well) was that any two people, of the six billion in the world, are connected by a countable, usually small, number of links. "Six degrees of separation" was first posited by Stanley Milgram in the sixties, who used the US postal network to connect, among others, blacks in LA and whites in New York. Later on, people measured connections among actors to Kevin Bacon, while mathematicians had Erdös numbers – how many co-authored papers away they were from Paul Erdös. The incredibly small amount of links necessary to connect any two nodes a complete network was found to be due to the fact that the number of links per node has a distribution according to the power law, which means that there are some nodes that act as super-connectors with extremely high number of links. In the world of mathematics, Paul Erdös was such a super-connector, as Google is on the internet. The role that super-connectors play in Friendster will be discussed further on.

These discoveries articulated the interconnectedness of people in networks, which was and is not always recognized by people acting within the networks, as evidenced by how surprising it seems when two friends from different contexts turn out to know each other from yet a third context. People generally don’t keep track of friends-of-friends, and there's little reason they should: if a friend-of-a-friend is that interesting, she should become a friend. Most of the time people aren't even aware of friends-of-friends, except through coincidental mentioning, much less friends of third degree and beyond.

ASNs, though the central database, make it possible to track connections over a much higher number of degrees (though Friendster will only allow you to view friends of third degree or closer). In the case of Friendster, with dating in mind, this allows you to browse through your friends's friends and find that someone they ought to have set you up with months ago but that they never thought of. ASNs provide visualizations of the social network through the linked 'friend' pages in a way that was invisible before, when the network was something you interacted in, instead of click your way through.

I am more than the sum of my profiles

As more and more aspects of our lives occur on the internet, it becomes necessary to depict ourselves there, to create some kind of identity. For most purposes, such as access to websites, etc., a username and password suffices. If the purpose is social – interaction with other users – more details about one's identity is needed. For example, IM clients such as AIM give users a space where they can fill out a 'profile' of themselves. Since AIM users generally know each other, the profiles are usually filled with jokes or quotes: profiles are a presentation of self, more than a description of self.

Networks consist of nodes that are linked together. The nodes of a social network are the people who make up the network; the nodes of an artificial social network are the profiles. The profiles, in theory, represent the people who make up the underlying real social network, but the degree to which they do so (or whether the underlying social network is real, in any sense) is questionable.

The Friendster profile is extremely limiting, if you are trying to present yourself. The usual demographic information is there: Gender (with binary options for male/female), age, location, occupation, etc. There is space to list your interests, as well as favorite books, movies, music, as well as a paragraph "about me" and "who I'd like to meet." Because of the limited space, people focus more on presenting themselves as interesting and intriguing, rather than being especially truthful or informative. This results in too many hipper-than-thou profiles where people seem to try to list the most arcane bands or films, or interests that are inside jokes. On the other hand, because there does exist some kind of underlying real-world social network, blatant falsehoods are hard to get away with and generally don’t exist, except for so-called Fakesters: profiles made for inanimate institutions (both Brown and Finlandia have Friendster profiles), pets, celebrities, post-structuralist philosophers, etc. Fakesters are popular with Friendster users, but the Friendster creators have decided to crack down on them in the interest of keeping the (artificial) social network reflective of the real one. This seems questionable since individuals do have ties to institutions, whether or not the ties are social in a strict sense.

Are you my friend? Or just my Friendster?

The people I've watched spending time on the Friendster website (including myself) spend most of their time just browsing their friends and friends-of-friends, rather than reading their profiles. This implies that "you are your friends," not your own depiction of yourself. It naturally follows that the act of linking your profile to those of others is of supreme significance in Friendsterland.
In the real-world social network, people draw a distinction between "spreading yourself short and thick", having few but close friends, and having a large group of less close friends. However, this can't apply in Friendster, since there are no qualitative differences between links. The distinction is binary: either you are linked or not, either you are a 'Friendster' or not. (The term 'Friendster' to describe someone you are linked to is from danah boyd, who quotes a user as saying, "She's not my friend, but she's my Friendster.")

Since quality doesn’t matter, quantity is the only way to distinguish yourself. As a friend of mine said: "It's all about getting as many friends as you can; Friendster is just a big popularity contest." Additional motivation is presented by the fact that the more people you are linked to, the more of the Friendster network you can see. People thus link to people they would not consider friends in the strict sense of the word (as in the quote from danah boyd above). Of course, there is a certain amount of backlash against people with inordinate numbers of Friendsters (over one hundred, give or take a score). Boyd calls these "Friendster sluts", a name which some have embraced (see websites). Such users act as super-connectors in the ASN.

As well as not providing any sense of the quality of a friendship, Friendster links also miss the context. Unless the profile offers clues, it is impossible to distinguish the work colleagues from the friends from high school. Moreover, friends from different contexts can see each other, which may or may not be desirable. Social connections are often valuable, especially in the business world: it seems unlikely that a PR rep would be willing to offer up her connections on LinkedIn.com.

In his seminal paper "The Strength of Weak Ties", Mark Granovetter argues that so-called weak ties are more valuable than strong ties between people with many mutual connections, since people connected by weak ties are less likely to have access to the same information. He found that people overwhelmingly find jobs though weak connections. The same holds true for dating: if you are a single straight male with a close circle of other straight males, you are unlikely to find a girlfriend through them (if only because they'll ask her out first). On the other hand, a weak connection like the girl next to you in class may be a better bet. She may also have a group of single female friends interested in your group of friends. In that case, the connection between the girl and yourself is a social "bridge" between tightly knit clusters that would otherwise be unlinked. Bridges, rather than clusters, are what makes the six degrees of separation phenomenon work – however, clusters are obviously far more valuable for friendship and support in real social networks. Friendster can't offer true friendship, but it is great for finding bridges.

When asking people why they used Friendster, what Friendster was useful for, one reply that I hadn't expected but heard frequently was that it allowed them to maintain contact with people that they would otherwise have lost touch with – high school friends, people met while traveling, and so on. These are generally the weak ties that form bridges. Friendster also makes it easier to keep each other updated: you can send bulletin board messages to all your Friendsters, without even having to remember their email addresses, as well as personal messages to individual Friendsters.

Social networks on Friendster are much more static than their real-world social network. Depending on context and the quality of the relationship, if you don’t communicate with someone in your real-world network in, say, a month, it may be that your friendship has expired. On Friendster, however, while the option of deleting friends does exist, it is generally used in only the worst cases of terminated relationships. If nothing dramatic happens, two profiles will remain linked (at least until Friendster goes under). In other words, real-world social ties require effort to uphold, whereas Friendsterships are forever.

The newest of the new: FOAF(ster)

Around the same time as ASNs became widely popular, blogging took off. Blogs (weblogs) are internet-based journals of a sort, websites which are updated frequently which reflect the author's thoughts and generally include links to things the author finds interesting, as well as a large number of links to other weblogs. The high degree of interconnectedness makes the 'Blogosphere' a social network of sorts, although, unlike Friendster, but like real-world social networks, it is difficult to see beyond one degree of separation.

However, this is about to change. The FOAF (Friend-of-a-friend) project has developed a "semantic web vocabulary" that gathers Friendster-esque information that you include on your own website, as well as such information on sites linked to yours. Essentially, it is the open-source version of Friendster, one that doesn't need a central database. As yet, there are few applications that use FOAF. If it becomes widespread, it could let us transfer the connections beyond first degree visible to us on Friendster to the rest of our lives.

One immediate application is email white lists, which could then be set to accept emails from friends-of-friends, instead of just from friends/people in your address book. Using social networks to filter email merely echoes what happens in the real world when we listen to a friend or someone we are socially aware of, but not the Jehovah's witnesses who come knocking on our door.

Using an open-source vocabulary would also get rid of identical looking Friendster profiles in favor of sites that might present a more multi-faceted, accurate representation of the user. However, this presents two difficulties. Firstly, many Friendster and other ASN users are unwilling to spend the time or accumulate the technical knowledge to build such a site. Secondly, sites that contained interesting content would distract users from the more immediate gratification of social network browsing. Friendster would no longer be entirely mindless – there would be a possiblility of discovering something apart from the social network.

Friendsters forever?

There is no doubt that the links created by Friendster are entirely different than those of true friendship, created by shared experiences and values. However, as long as there is no danger of confusing the two (and the users of Friendster are generally savvy and cynical enough not to) Friendster and FOAF software offer powerful potential uses.

Being aware of one's place within a large social network that is highly interconnected may breed greater tolerance, although presently Friendster is being used mainly by a very specific (young, urban) demographic, so the connections to others outside that demographic are as yet invisible. Friendster is unlikely to grow beyond that demographic, just as most of the ASNs are relatively demographic-specific. However, general usage of FOAF would go on to link nearly all internet users, which is rapidly becoming equivalent to the general population as large. Xenophobia, fear of the stranger, would be mitigated if it was know that the stranger was a mere three or four links away.

The fear that Friendster and ASNs may weaken social ties is not entirely unjustified. Just as the internet breeds a more-is-more approach to knowledge, in which quality is often lost among thousands of search results, Friendster is only able to focus on quantity, not quality, of human relationships. In our real lives, however, it is the quality of our connections to others that is most important. Whether or not we are Friendster sluts, in the end it is the few strong bonds of true friendship that give us the support and love that we need more than large but abstract social networks. These are the people we come home to at night – people we are unlikely to give up for mere profiles.

Discussion Report Google and YouTube

2009-03-17T14:55:00.001+07:00

Raquel Peters
raquel.peters@duke.edu

This report summarizes the class discussion on “Google and YouTube”. The assigned readings for this discussion were the articles “YouTube vs. Boob Tube,” by Bob Garfield “How Google Should Monetize YouTube with AdWords and AdSense,” by Jennifer Slegg, and “A Look Ahead at Google and YouTube” by Salar Kamangar, Vice President, and Product Management.

[1] YouTube vs. Boob Tube

Google paid $1.65 billion in stock for You Tube. Today, TV advertising is starting to break and while there are still some benefits to advertising on TV, a lot of companies like Google are realizing that the Internet is a gold mind for economic opportunity. They started to realize that people were using the Internet as a way for them to share with other people and have something to talk about with friends. YouTube gets 65,000 hits a day and with heir popularity it was no wonder, Google wanted to take advantage of it.
Google would need and believes they can have:

• A business model to convert the site into an advertising medium
• A big change in the worldwide media economy.

And since fixing their own advertising avenues and gaining revenue of $9.3 billion dollars, it seemed possible that they could do the same with YouTube. Chad Hurley and Steve Chen started out of a garage, and wanted a way to embed videos on other sites. They tried to get advertisers to fund them, but little did they know that problems were already going on in the advertising industry. People were not watching commercials so advertisers were pulling out and show quality was suffering. Some companies like CBS tried to curtail this spiraling dilemma by putting shows online, but these show were hurting local affiliates.
YouTube had refused to place ads in videos in an attempt to preserve the viewer experience, but Google needed a way to make some revenue from ads. The only spot left for ads was the area next to the videos, and advertisers could wait until there ads made it onto YouTube, and then went viral for maximum exposure. Google also tried to use metadata to help place relevant ads to videos, but it was hard for YouTube to control what descriptions people put on the video, and the met data was limited, problems could arrive such as:

1. A company for meow mix could want their ads under cat related videos and then the ad could appear under videos of people killing cats.
2. An advertiser’s ad could appear at the front of a naughty video when they did not want it to.

YouTube has the basic problem of not being able to control the content on their site even with the flagging system they have in place and it just is not practical fro one person to go through and look at all the videos for appropriate content. They also have to deal with trying to prevent copyright infringement and people posting material that they have no rights too. There demands a big level of trust with the users to keep this kind of material off.

An example was explained abut Napster, and the fact that they were just uploading material they did not own or have the right to post, and YouTube is simply just transmitting information so they have some protection from the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

[2] How Google Should Monetize YouTube with AdWords and AdSense

Google began experimenting with video ads and has done a lot to promote them, for advertisers to begin using them in their ad campaigns as well as publishers, encouraging them to use video ad friendly ad unit sizes and enabling image ads. They have a lot of videos running on the AdSense network, but they haven’t said how much.
Putting 30 second ads at the beginning of videos runs the risk of being intrusive to the viewer. Some solutions to the problem are:

1. Advertisers could choose what videos they want their ads too show up under, like AdWords
2. They could pay for better positioning of videos, and it could be similar to the sponsored listings versus the organic listings in the regular Google search results, but with videos
3. The members could put in keywords to match with the video, but they runt he risk of spam and irrelevant keywords and descriptions.
4. They could have the video just show up on YouTube and not the whole Google or content network, for example:

-Snowboard company targets just YouTube visitors who search for snowboarding videos by keyword, having the only appear on YouTube.

5. Google could allow publishers to monetize from YouTube videos they post to their blog or website, like AdSense
6. They could allow those who upload original videos to YouTube, to use their publisher ID to make money when someone views their video right on YouTube.

[3] A Look Ahead at Google and YouTube

Google and YouTube have remained separate entities since the acquisition and they both have continued to play to their strengths. Google has its search and innovation of new services and YouTube is a leading content site with a user base that uses and shares videos. Google provides the monetization platform and the support that YouTube needs to continue to be successful. Google already has result links for videos that when clicked will take the user directly to YouTube to watch the video. They realized that people want videos, websites, and pictures in their results, and they have continue to try to address these desires and future develop their search capabilities.

CHAPTER 4

“How To Skyrocket Your Website To The Top Of Google With Properly Planned Offpage Optimization!”

I don't know about you, but I get extremely excited when I see my new keywords at the top of Google for the very first time. Making big changes in ranking is primarily done by what is called offpage optimization.

Earlier I mentioned there were two types of search engine optimization.
1. Onpage Optimization
2. Offpage Optimization

We've gone over onpage optimization, so let's move on to offpage optimization which is what really makes a HUGE difference in your site's ranking.

Properly planned offpage optimization will make the difference between your website ranking #900, and ranking #1 on Google!

So, what is offpage optimization anyway? Offpage optimization basically consists of all of the ranking factors that are NOT located on your webpage, that the search engines look at when ranking a website.

These include:
1. Which websites link to you
2. The number of websites linking to you
3. The Google pagerank of the website linking to you
4. The page title of the website linking to you
5. The anchor text used in the link linking to you
6. The number and type of links linking to the website that's linking to you.
7. The number of outbound links on the website that is linking to you
8. The total number of links on the website that is linking to you
9. Whether or not the websites linking to you are deemed by Google as an authority website.
10. The IP Address of the websites linking to you.
11. Plus some other things that we'll get to later...

In order to optimize our original website for the keyword "weight loss stories", we need to analyze the offpage optimization techniques of the top 10 ranked websites for our keyword.

Copy The Top Ranked Websites To Get A #1 Position

The goal here will be to copy exactly what they're doing, and then do things slightly better. We want to give Google exactly what they want, by making our offpage optimization as close to the top ranked websites as possible, but as I said, slightly better, we'll edge them out and rank better.

Let's change gears and analyze the top ranked website for the keyword, "diet information" because this is a much more competitive keyword that "weight loss stories" and it will help illustrate the kind of offpage optimization that you'll need to rank high in the search engines.

As I mentioned above, we'll need to analyze a bunch of things about the #1 ranked website for the term "diet information" (www.diet-i.com).

Again, these things include:
1. Which websites link to them
2. The number of websites linking to them
3. The Google pagerank of the website linking to them
4. The page title of the website linking to them
5. The anchor text used in the link linking to them
6. The number and type of links linking to the website that's linking to them
7. The number of outbound links on the website that is linking to them
8. The total number of links on the website that is linking to them
9. Whether or not the websites linking to them are deemed by Google as an authority website
10. The IP Address of the websites linking to them.

Which websites link to them
In order to do this, we'll go to Google and enter the following into the searchbox: link:www.diet-i.com

This will bring back a list of websites that back a link pointing to www.diet-i.com. These are www.diet-i.com's link partners. You'll notice that Google says there are about 461 webpages linking to www.diet-i.com.

Now that we have the list of websites, we'll need to analyze the quality of these websites in great detail.

The Number of Websites linking to them

Google shows that there are about 461 websites linking to them.

The Google Page Rank of the websites linking to them.

If we click on one of the webpages listed above:

(http://healthyweightlossplans.com/resources.php)

we'll see that the PageRank of this page is 2.

CHAPTER 3

“The Secret To Getting Listed In Google In Under 24 Hours - Guaranteed”

You may or may not have heard people claim they can get listed in Google in only 24 hours. It seems that nearly 100% of the people you run across in forums act like in order to get indexed by Google in 24 hours is some miracle feat that can only be accomplished by doing some "top secret" marketing tactic or advanced optimization strategy.

Well, the truth of the matter is...

Getting listed in Google in under a day is quite easy!

First, let's define what "getting indexed by Google" means...

Let's say that you create a brand new website. For our purposes, we'll call it www.bradcallenscoolwebsite.com

If we go to Google and enter: www.bradcallenscoolwebsite.com into the search box, we'll see that no results are returned. See below:

The reason no results appear is because our website is new and it's not "in Google's index" yet. If you're not in their index, your site can't be ranked by them because they don't know your site exists...

So, in order to rank in Google, you must first get into their index. Once your website is in there index and you do a search like we did above, you'll see the screen below:

Notice your website title, description, and URL now appear... This website has been indexed by Google.

Ok, now that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about what NOT to do when trying to get indexed by Google. This drives me absolutely crazy when I see people doing this, and is actually what I did at one time as well. The following URL might look familiar to you:

http://www.google.com/addurl.html

This is Google's actual website submission form. They state that you can use this form to submit your website to their index of websites and it can take up to 6 weeks for your website to be placed into their index. I don't know about you, but 4 weeks is a heck of a long time to just wait for your website to be placed in their index rotation, let alone get a top ranking!

Never Use The Google Submission Form!

You should NEVER use this form, or any other of the top search engine's submission forms for that matter. These search engines include Yahoo, MSN, Altavista, and Alltheweb.

So, how do you get your website indexed within 24 hours?

Let's stick with our weight loss website for now, and I will take you through the steps you'll need to do to get indexed by Google in under 24 hours, guaranteed.

1. Go to Google and enter the broadest keyword you can think of that's related to your website. In our example, it will be "weight loss". Once you've done this, you'll see a list of Google results.
2. Browse through each website and pay particular attention to the Google PageRank of the website.

Note: Remember, Google PageRank is measured by the number of websites and the "importance" of those websites that link to your website. In general, the more websites that link to your website, the higher your PageRank will be.

So, as you're looking at these top ranked websites for the search term "weight loss", you should try to find websites with a PageRank of 5 or higher.

Once you've found several websites like this, you should check and see whether or not they have links pages. Usually you'll see links from their index page that say (resources, links, related sites, etc.) Now, you need to search their website for their contact information or information on getting a link from one of their high PageRank webpages.

Once you find their contact information you should send them an email asking if they will link to your website in return for you linking back to their website. If you do this correctly and professionally, they will respond and will place a link on their website to yours.

If you can manage to get 1 PR5 website to link to your website, you will be indexed by Google in under 3 days. If you can get 1 PR6 website to link to you, then you will be in Google's index in under 24 hours!

Sometimes persuading the higher pagerank websites is pretty tough, especially if your website is brand new, but there's another option you can pursue and that is ...

Purchasing links from high PageRank websites. The easiest and fastest way to do this is to visit 1 of the many link purchasing websites. Here are a few of the better ones that I personally use on a regular basis. I've listed them in order of which I view as the best.

http:///www.text-link-ads.com
http://www.linkadage.com
http://www.textlinkbrokers.com

Many times you can purchase 1 PR7 link for a 1 month time period for, say, $150. After the month is up, there is no need to renew because you are already in Google's index! So, basically by paying a 1 time fee of $150 you can be indexed by Google within 24 hours, with no work on your part.

Something else that I will typically do with new websites, is I will always link my older, higher PageRank websites to my new websites. If you already own 1 PR5 or 6 website, then place a link on the index page of that PR5 or 6 website and point it to your new website.

Leave the link there for 1-3 days and you'll quickly see your new website in Google's index! Once you're in the index, you can remove the link from your higher PageRank website.

It's as easy as that... So, you can see that getting indexed quickly by Google is VERY easy and doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out. One you're in Google's index, you can begin to do the things I'll be teaching you in the following chapters.

Thus far, you've learned:

1. How to properly select keywords that aren't too competitive
2. How to analyze the onpage optimization factors of the websites that aren't ranked in the top of the search engines for the keyword you selected.
3. How to properly optimize your own website for onpage optimization factors
4. And how to "get indexed by Google" in less that 24 hours”

CHAPTER 2

After we've done this, we need to actually create the content for our webpage. When writing the content, try to evenly sprinkle your main keywords throughout the copy.

Note: Don't overdo it though. If you simply repeat your keyword over and over like this: weight loss story about weight loss story that I have a weight loss story and weight loss story...

Google will immediately see your website as search engine spam and you will not rank well. So, try to keep in mind that you're creating your website for the eyes of REAL people.

Try to mention each keyword in a natural way as you are writing, but be sure to include at least one of the keywords per 1-2 paragraphs, depending on how large your page is.

Tip: Make sure to mention your main keyword at the very top left and the very bottom right hand side of the webpage. A trick I like to use is to include this in the copyright information line at the bottom of the website. For our example, this would be a good example:

Notice that it flows and doesn't really look too strange.

Bolding, italicizing and underlining ...
Once we've finished writing the copy, we should go through and bold, underline, or italicize some of the keywords only 1 time each, maximum. Only do 1 per keyword or it will hurt you more than it helps.

Properly include <alt> image tags ...
Next, add an alt image tag to the very top image of your webpage (This is usually your website's header graphic). Use the <alt> image tag using the text "weight loss story header".

The html code used to add an <alt> image tag would look like this:
<img src="YourGraphic.jpg" width="503" height="93" alt="weight loss story">

Note: If you're using Dreamweaver to create your webpage, simply highlight your graphic and then type "weight loss story" into the "alt" textbox within the properties menu. See below:

Next, click on 2 more graphics throughout your webpage and enter your other 2 keywords, plus an extra word like "graphic" or "image"... For example, we would use "weight loss picture graphic" and "safe weight loss image". This ensures that Google won't view this as spam.

Force Google To Read Your Keywords First!

Now, remember I stated above that Google reads your webpage from top left, to bottom right? Well, in general they do, but because most websites contain a left hand column which contains all of their navigation links, as shown below:

Google WILL View all of the text in the left hand column Before The Body of the webpage. This isn't good for us, because we want Google to actually read our content first!

How can you get around this? I've come up with a neat little trick that will ensure that Google reads the actual body of your webpage before the left hand column containing your navigational links.

Here is what you need to do:
Rather than creating a table that looks like this, which is essentially what the website above looks like...

You should create a table that looks like this:

By doing this, Google will read the top left hand row/column first (This is labeled "empty column") BUT will see that it is empty, so it will then read the body text of your webpage and then read the 2nd left hand row/column which contains your navigational links! :-)

That's all there is to it!

In summary, I really want to point out the fact that, although good onpage optimization is something you'll really want to do, it is NOT how you make dramatic changes in your search engine ranking!

This is one of the biggest misconceptions in the search engine world. Many believe that by getting your keyword density just right, or by moving your keywords around on the page in just the right places, you'll really move up in the search engines.

Note: Keyword Density is the percentage of times a keyword appears on your page, compared to the total number of words on the page.

Example:

If there were 10 total words on a webpage and your keyword, "dog", was listed on the page 3 times, the keyword density for the word "dog" would be 30% (3/10=.30).

Anyway, before we move on, I want you to know that what I've taught you so far are only onpage optimization methods. These are things you should do to your webpages, but will only move your website up a few places in the search engines. It is the offpage optimization factors that will get you high rankings. I will teach you exactly what offpage optimization factors are, AND how to make sure you optimize this perfectly for Google and the other major search engines!

Session notes:
Background of the Session
Microsoft has announced that they will cease selling XP/Pro within the next few months. This means that one way or another, we’re all eventually going to have to deal with Vista. But XP will remain supported until 2012.
The purpose of this CATS meeting was to discuss with other techs what each campus plans to do with Vista, and hopefully help us all to avoid “re-inventing the wheel” when we come across similar problems.

The KMS Server
The CSU system, in an apparent effort to shave costs, purchased a key managed version of Windows Vista Enterprise. This means that most techs will never see a product license key. Instead, the Key Management Server (KMS) keeps track of the software licenses, and actually activates Vista. But the KMS won’t distribute a single Vista license until you have at least 25 copies actually running! And every few weeks (at least), each copy will “phone home” back to the KMS and re-authorize the product. This means that during periods of light use (i.e. holiday breaks) it is possible for licensed copies of Vista to ‘fall off’ the KMS server, since the server now sees less than 25 copies. Microsoft promises a fix in mid April that is supposed to avoid the activation problems, but I’ve checked, and this will have no effect upon the CSU’s KMS licensing plan or how it functions.

The DNS has to see the KMS in order to activate Vista. This could cause problems for faculty laptops, or for those who rely upon an external DNS server. Most campuses are not resolving the KMS off-campus (Vista is primarily for campus-owned machines) so faculty may have to bring their machines back on campus every so often to re-activate their license.

Issues! We’ve got Issues!
Several CATS participants reported horror stories about installing Vista Service Pack 1. Their advice is to avoid it unless you really need it. I installed it (It patches over 530 issues), and had zero ill effects.
One tech from CSU San Bernardino reported several problems with Intel Macs running Vista in a virtual environment under Parallels. Switching to BootCamp cured the problem. Eventually his system would be corrupted. Some people in the CATS group think this may be caused by having too many invisible user profiles, which are created each time a new user logs in.

Store your “My Documents” and mail files on a different partition, just for ease of backup. Plus, if you lose your primary partition, the user’s mail and docs can be more easily restored. You do have a backup plan in place, right? Has it been tested recently? Backup before installing Vista, please!

Two people reported that the latest Vista updates literally broke the backup subsystem. See the previous paragraph.
Vista training is expensive! SDSU spent $20,000 to send 8 people for a week’s worth of training.
If we’re still going to roll back new Vista machines to XP (Most campuses are doing this), how long will the new hardware support the old XP drivers?

Some applications simply do not work under Vista! Yes, there is *supposed to be* a compatibility mode (Found under the program/properties tab) for previous Windows versions, but this seems buggy.
Use “DeepFreeze” to capture a Vista image. Several CATS participants use this product, and it works very well.

The CSU Vista license is an upgrade version only. It requires a valid Microsoft operating system to already be in place. FreeDos is NOT a legal base OS. If you need to purchase an OS to upgrade to Vista, purchase Microsoft home. Install it, then upgrade immediately. (I would never recommend you use MS-Home for anything useful).

CSUSB’s Draft of a Vista Upgrade

(Feel free to use/modify)
By Rich McGee
rmcgee@csusb.edu

Yes, we know many techs prefer to do a "clean" upgrade to Vista, including reformatting the drive. But if someone in your office insists on upgrading their workstation from XP/Pro to Vista, this document should help.

Before You Do Anything Else
It is critical that you know that the workstation you are about to upgrade will be compatible with Vista. So before you begin a Vista installation, you need to be sure of a few things:
1. Does your machine meet the minimum specs for Vista? I wouldn't try it on less than 2gb of RAM.
2. Can your graphics card handle Aero, the 3D display interface? (Without Aero, Vista will run, but it will be lacking some very nice screen layout options)
3. Do you have a CD and/or DVD drive?
4. Have you fully updated and patched MS-Office?
5. Have you fully patched your machine's OS, via the Windows Update program? What about BIOS updates?
6. Are you aware that Vista only supports I.E. Version 7? This could effect users who must access PeopleSoft? . And the version 7 of I.E. which comes with Vista is not the same version as the XP upgrade.
7. Download and run the Microsoft Vista Upgrade Adviser.
8. Examine the Upgrade Adviser reports, and attempt to resolve as many hardware and software conflicts as possible. Remember: Vista cannot be uninstalled once installation has finished. Once you commit to running Vista, you must either remain with it, or re-format the drive and re-install XP/Pro. There is a "rollback to previous operating system" option, but this can only be used if the upgrade fails.
9. Some programs, like display managers, VPN, 3rd party firewalls, etc. have Vista-specific versions. Please do not install these until your initial Vista installation has completed.
10. Remove/uninstall as many of your startup programs as possible. Try to get your XP system as close to "stock" as you can. This means that any 3rd party program which runs at startup should be removed.
11. On many systems, the "ROXIO" series of CD software causes the installation to fail. This is NOT documented in any Microsoft publication! If your upgrade doesn't work (System cannot start without error messages) roll back to XP, de-install all the Roxio products, and try again.
12. Don't forget that that CSU uses a key-management system to activate Vista, in addition to the installation serial number. This KMS must "check in" with the client every few weeks, or Vista will go into "limited functionality mode", and you will be unable to access most Vista functions. The Wiki page does have a Vista application count - the campus requires at least 25 Vista machines to keep the license server functioning. If this count drops below 25, you cannot activate your machine. Contact Keith Castillo in ACM if this happens to you.

Before Starting the Upgrade
1. Back up your files. This is not optional. You really need to perform a backup, and verify it (some of us found this part out the hard way), before you proceed. Vista is new, and although it underwent the most sweeping beta program in the history of Windows, there may be undocumented incompatibilities galore. An operating system upgrade isn't something to take lightly; it could, potentially, hose your hard drive.
Use your favorite backup program to back up virtually everything that you can't restore from installation media. You don't necessarily have to create a full system backup—although it's not a bad idea—as long as you make backups of things like finance spreadsheets, office documents and so on. If you're an Outlook user, at least back up all the ".PST" files.
2. Purge your system. Next, get rid of anything you don't need. Uninstall applications you haven't opened in the past year and will never use again. Run Disk Cleanup and do away with stuff like temporary files and installation files for updates. Check your download folders for installation files of programs you installed long ago. Consider archiving data that you haven't used in some time to removable media such as writeable DVDs, and then removing it from your system's hard drive. If you haven't cleaned up your hard drive in a while, this is the perfect time to do so.
3. Uninstall your antivirus program. Some antivirus programs have issues with system upgrades, including installing a new operating system. Even if you're absolutely sure your antivirus program is Windows Vista–compatible, uninstall (or at least disable) it before you proceed. If you know it's not Vista compatible, get rid of it entirely. Then, once Vista is installed, re-install your campus antivirus software. Disable other security applications, like antispyware and third-party firewalls. Better yet, uninstall them cleanly. 4. Defrag the hard drive(s). Even if you don't believe in defragmenting hard drives on a regular basis, you should perform a defrag before you start the Vista setup program. After a serious purge, there are sure to be plenty of gaps in the file system and at least some program fragmentation. Make your drive neat and orderly to roll out the carpet for the new OS.
5. Plug in your external devices. If you've got anything connected with a USB cable, plug those in before beginning the upgrade.
6. Research any third party products you are not sure of. It is better to know you have software that Vista approves of before you begin the upgrade, right?

Start the Upgrade
Critical Note: Don't boot the Windows Vista DVD to perform an in-place upgrade; it won't work. You have to run the Setup program from within Windows XP.
After a few seconds, the upgrade splash screen should appear. Select the option "Keep existing files", or else your hard drive will be reformatted, and your data will be lost!
The Vista upgrade usually takes from 90 to 120 minutes. Your system will be rebooted at least once during the installation process. It may also appear to "hang" for prolonged periods of time.

Service Pack 1
In late March, Microsoft released SP1, the first service pack for Vista. It specifically applies over 530 updates, and takes about an hour to install. The IS Office strongly recommends that all Vista users apply this update as soon as possible. It isn't available yet as an automatic update. Instead, go to http://www.microsoft.com/vista and type "Vista SP1" in the search box. Microsoft recommends that you manually download and apply this patch, but please search the web for the terms "Vista SP1". You will find hundreds, if not thousands of horror stories where people have documented that the installation of SP1 broke their system, badly.

My Own Upgrade Story
My department (ISO) purchased a new Dell Optiplex 745 for me last fall. This machine was "Vista Certified", and carried all the Microsoft stickers. Microsoft no longer issues those stickers, and I found out why.
First, the Upgrade Adviser told me I had just a few software issues: "Microsoft Step by Step Training" (Which I couldn't find installed anywhere), and my SoundMax? sound card driver wasn't certified for Vista. Everything else passed the pre-installation test, including my graphics card.
I started the installation process, and told Vista I wished to keep my existing files. About an hour later, the system said that the install had completed, and it was 'getting ready to start Vista for the first time'.
Nothing happened.
Instead of the Vista splash screen, I received a message saying "Windows cannot be started normally", followed by a list of boot options (Safe mode, Safe with Network Support, etc). I tried each of those, and none of them worked.
I then booted from the installation CD, and tried the "Restore a damaged file system" option. While it could see my hard drive, it appeared to hang after about 12 hours of doing nothing. When I checked the error logs, they were fill of useless information. None of the logs pointed to any specific problem.
So I rebooted my PC and selected the option "Roll back to previous OS". 45 minutes later, I had XP running fine again.
I rebooted, and attempted another re-install. Same situation, same results. Another rollback to XP.
Since I was installing to my account as a domain administrator, I wondered if that might have something to do with it (Perhaps a Group Policy Setting?). So I installed again as a stand-alone administrator. Nothing. Another try, another rollback. This was day 3.
I then started searching the web for "Vista Installation Failure". I found hundreds (or more) of stories where people have given up Vista, and elected to remain with XP/Pro. By this time, I was considering joining them.
Suddenly, in a non-Microsoft blog, I saw something hopeful: Someone had posted that their copy of Roxio CD Creator V5.2 didn't allow Vista to install. That was the same version shipped with my machine! Since I don't use Roxio anyway, I quickly deleted it, and retried the installation once again.
Two hours later, I had Vista. And it was good. Very good, actually. If you've ever used a Macintosh, Vista appears very close to OS/X Tiger. Everything pretty much worked as advertised, except for a few minor details.
I downloaded and installed Vista SP 1, about 63 mb worth of patches. They went in without incident, a fact I'm happy to say.
After I had everything working again, I started to test my hardware. The sound card works (I can hear playback audio) but the external mic wasn't working. I re-installed the Vista drivers from Dell - nothing. Finally I performed a manual Microsoft update, and the sound card came back to life.
E-Trust (My school anti-virus solution) installed fine, but the Cisco VPN software did not. I installed the latest version (V5.00.034), and it worked fine after a reboot. But when I logged into the VPN, it said there was an upgrade available. That's where my problem started.

Some Issues
1. Automatic updates are not currently working for Vista at my campus. We suspect that the SuS? application used to push back updates has not yet been updated/configured for Vista. Manual updates work fine, however.
2. Hibernate, don't power off Microsoft recommends this as the preferred method of powering down your machine for the evening. It is much faster than a shutdown/restart
3. ZoneLabs and Vista do not play well together. At least the ZoneLabs Pro version does not.
4. Some startup programs must be manually started, every time you reboot. If you have installed any type of program that starts a process on machine boot, Vista will literally block its execution. Instead, you will see a dialog box asking if you want to run this program, and suggesting that you write to the software developer for a Vista-ready version.
5. There are two types of "run" options with a right-click: run, and run as administrator. There is a huge difference between these two.
6. Several of the CATS participants indicated that Vista would not map to an XP system's shared hard drive, due to security issues.
7. BitLocker can be a nightmare. If a user secures their hard drive with BitLocker , there is literally no known way to recover their data without the password. ThuThu from SDSU says that her campus got around this by making a GPO change, and storing the password for BitLocker on an active directory server.

Jake Peavy

Peavy impressive in M.L. Debut
Despite loss, rookie not intimidated by Yankees
By Sandy Burgin / MLB.com

SAN DIEGO -- For the second day in a row a Padres rookie pitcher walked off the mound to a thunderous standing ovation at Qualcomm Stadium.
While the 21-year-old Jake Peavy got the cheers from Major League Baseball's biggest crowd of the season, 60,021, he wasn't able to do what Oliver Perez did Friday night--tip his hat.

Perez left Friday night's game after 6 2/3 innings with the Padres leading, 3-1. Peavy left in the top of the seventh Saturday with a runner on second no outs and the Padres trailing, 1-0.

Unfortunately, Peavy wound up losing his Major League debut, 1-0 as Ted Lilly spun a complete-game three-hit shutout striking out a career high 11 as the Yankees evened the best-of-three series at a game apiece.

One of those three hits was a bloop single by Peavy in the fifth inning as that ball was thrown back into the dugout as Peavy got his first Major League hit.

"It was a tough one to lose when you get that type of pitching," Padres manager Bruce Bochy said. "Peavy did a great job. He had good stuff, he had his command, his composure, he looked very determined. He could have caved in that first inning with the leadoff double but we made a big play to get (Jason) Giambi at third. He settled down and went on to pitch a terrific game." Peavy said he was going to go right after the Yankees and he went right after Yankee leadoff batter Alfonso Soriano, who lined Peavy's first Major League pitch for a double down the left field line.

"I did let my nerves get a little of the best of me in that first inning," Peavy said. "And the bottom line I didn't execute pitches in that inning. I knew I had to get back to executing pitches and I was able to do that for the middle part of the game and keep us in the ball game." After giving up the leadoff double to Soriano, Peavy came back and struck out Derek Jeter. However, Jason Giambi drove a ball to the rightfield fence driving home Soriano.

When Padres centerfielder Mark Kotsay slipped retrieving the ball, Giambi headed for third, but Kotsay's throw was on the money to D'Angelo Jimenez, who tagged out Giambi.

Peavy got Bernie Williams to bounce out to first to end the inning and retired 12 batters in a row. He allowed just two walks over the next six innings before giving up a leadoff double to Williams.

At that point Bochy came to get Peavy, who left to the cheers of the fans after allowing just three hits, walking two and striking out four.

"It was the best feeling of my life when I walked off the field today to that standing ovation," Peavy said. "It was awesome, it's the only words I can describe it. The 12:20 start was key for me. I was able to get up this morning, have a good breakfast and really not sit around and think about what was going to happen. Having Wiki (Gonzalez) behind the plate and some veteran guys who talked to me before about executing pitches and that's what I focused on. I was able to block out the crowd for the most part and do my game."

What about his hit?

"How lucky can you be?" Peavy asked. "I could hardly feel my right hand at that time."

Peavy said that watching Perez the night before helped.

"Seeing how composed he was and seeing a young guy do well, it's fun to watch," Peavy said. "I was happy for Oliver. But as far as helping what I'm going to do against those guys it doesn't help."

Peavy said he had 15 to 20 family and relatives on hand, who were posing for pictures with No. 44 after the game.

"It's an awesome experience," Peavy said, "I've lived my whole life to do what I did today." Peavy said. "It's just a good experience, but we lost the ball game and that's what matters here wins and loses."

That may be, but Bochy says that Peavy is here to stay for a while.

"The kid didn't seem in awe of anything," Bochy said. "He pitched with a lot of confidence. A kid coming out of Double-A and going up against that lineup is very impressive.

"I told him that this is not a one shot deal," Bochy added. "We feel he's going

HIPAA PRIVACY

2009-03-09T14:08:00.003+07:00

HIPAA PRIVACY REGULATIONS AND
WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act’s (HIPAA’s) privacy regulations went into effect April 14, 2003. These regulations limit the situations in which medical providers may release patient information, unless the information is necessary for the purpose of treatment, payment or health care operations.

The relevant HIPAA regulation is § 164.512 – Uses and disclosures for which an authorization or opportunity to agree or object is not required:

Standard: disclosure for workers' compensation. A covered entity may disclose protected health information as authorized by and to the extent necessary to comply with laws relating to workers' compensation or other similar programs, established by law, that provide benefits for work-related injuries or illness without regard to fault.

The Secretary of Health & Human Services has explained these rules more fully in the Preamble to the final privacy regulations (preamble: http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/part2.html.) A portion of which follows:

Section 164.512(l)--Disclosures For Workers' Compensation

In the final rule, we include a new provision in this section that clarifies the ability of covered entities to disclose protected health information without authorization to comply with workers' compensation and similar programs established by law that provide benefits for work-related illnesses or injuries without regard to fault. Although most disclosures for workers' compensation would be permissible under other provisions of this rule, particularly the provisions that permit disclosures for payment and as required by law, we are aware of the significant variability among workers' compensation and similar laws, and include this provision to ensure that existing workers' compensation systems are not disrupted by this rule. We note that the minimum necessary standard applies to disclosures under this paragraph.

Under this provision, a covered entity may disclose protected health information regarding an individual to a party responsible for payment of workers' compensation benefits to the individual, and to an agency responsible for administering and /or adjudicating the individual's claim for workers' compensation benefits. For purposes of this paragraph, workers' compensation benefits include benefits under programs such as the Black Lung Benefits Act, the federal Employees' Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and the Energy Employees' Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act.

Since HIPAA defers to state law regarding disclosures relating to workers’ compensation, it is important for claimants and medical providers to know what Virginia law requires for disclosure of patient information. For health care providers who render services to injured workers, Virginia Code Section 65.2-604 outlines requirements for furnishing reports for Virginia workers’ compensation cases.

§ 65.2-604. Furnishing copy of medical report.
A. Any health care provider attending an injured employee shall, upon request of the injured employee, employer, insurer, or a certified rehabilitation provider as provided in Article 2 (§ 54.1-3510 et seq.) of Chapter 35 of Title 54.1 providing services to the injured employee, or of any representative thereof, furnish a copy of any medical report to the injured employee, employer, insurer, or a certified rehabilitation provider as provided in Article 2 (§ 54.1-3510 et seq.) of Chapter 35 of Title 54.1 providing services to the injured employee, or to any representative thereof, or to each of them upon request for such medical report.

B. Whenever any health care provider attending an injured employee refers the employee or transfers responsibility for his care to another health care provider, the referring or transferring provider, upon receipt of a request therefor, shall promptly transfer or cause to be transferred to the new or succeeding provider, or to the employee or someone acting on behalf of the employee, copies of all diagnostic test results, x-ray photographs, and other medical records pertaining to the employee's injury for which further treatment is to be sought from the succeeding provider.

In the event of such referral or transfer, the succeeding provider, if given any such diagnostic test results, x-ray photographs and other medical records pertaining to the employee's injury which were performed or recorded within the preceding 60 days by a referring or transferring provider, shall not repeat any such diagnostic tests or procedures previously conducted without making a good faith attempt to use them unless there is a medical necessity to do so as certified by a qualified physician on behalf of the succeeding provider. If the succeeding health care provider violates the requirements of this paragraph, such succeeding provider shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement from the injured employee's employer or the employer's insurer for any repeated test or procedure not so certified to be medically necessary, nor may the succeeding provider require the employee to bear any cost associated with the repeated test or procedure which would have been the responsibility of the employer or his insurer but for the provisions of this subsection.

C. As used in this section, the term "health care provider" shall have the same meaning as set forth in § 8.01-581.1, except that state-operated facilities shall also be considered health care providers for the purposes of this section.

The Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission has interpreted this provision in several decisions. The Commission has held that the parties in a workers’ compensation proceeding have the right to subpoena and review ALL medical documents which are, or may be, related to the claimant’s condition, under the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Act and the exception found in Code § 32.1-127.1:03(C). Additionally, Code § 65.2-607(A) provides a waiver of the physician/patient privilege in workers compensation cases. A more complete discussion of these issues can be found in the Commission’s decision Randall v. SHS International, Inc., VWC File No. 214-26-37 (March 29, 2004). See also Scarafino v. CVS Drugs, VWC File No. 206-30-17 (July 8, 2004)

Hedge Fund

2009-03-09T13:50:00.005+07:00

Description of a Hedge Fund
A "hedge fund" is a private investment vehicle organized for the purpose of pooling investors' assets. The sponsor of the hedge fund, commonly referred to as the hedge fund manager, invests the hedge fund's assets pursuant to a predetermined investment strategy. It is argued that in the absence of such a pooling vehicle, an investor, on its own, would not be able to diversify its assets or have the resources to monitor, evaluate and implement the investing and trading strategies to be engaged in by the manager. Although historically the defining characteristic of a hedge fund was to "hedge" against market risk and volatility, hedge funds today apply a variety of investment techniques. Unlike mutual funds, which are highly regulated, hedge funds: (i) are not required to redeem investors' assets within seven days from the date on which it receives a notice for redemption from an investor; and (ii) may take illiquid positions without limitation and may engage in leveraged transactions with greater freedom.

Legal Structure
The legal structure of a hedge fund largely depends who its investors will be. For example, a private investment vehicle formed for the benefit of persons who reside outside of the United States will be organized differently than an investment vehicle formed for the benefit of United States residents.

Domestic Partnership
For the purpose of managing the assets of persons residing in the United States, a hedge fund is ordinarily organized as a limited partnership. By purchasing an interest in the partnership, an investor becomes a limited partner of the partnership.

In an attempt to limit personal liability, the manager of a domestic fund usually forms an entity to provide advisory services to the partnership. This entity serves as the general partner of the partnership. Depending on the laws of the state in which the general partner will maintain its office, the hedge fund manager will organize the general partner as a limited liability company, corporation or limited partnership. In certain cases, however, the manager will form two entities, one entity to serve as the general partner and the other entity to serve as a management company. The use of an entity as the general partner or management company, however, will not shield an individual manager from personal liability for fraud and other claims under the federal securities laws

Offshore Fund
For the purpose of managing the assets of persons residing outside of the United States, an offshore fund is ordinarily structured as a corporation and organized in a tax haven jurisdiction (e.g. Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Ireland). The jurisdiction in which the fund is organized often depends on the countries in which investors reside and the type of entity the sponsor desires to form. Also, certain jurisdictions, such as the Cayman Islands, have a well-developed regulatory system for organizing and maintaining investment funds but are more expensive than other jurisdictions, such as the British Virgin Islands, which do not have as extensive a regulatory scheme.

Often, the manager of an offshore fund forms a corporate entity to provide advisory services to the fund. This entity serves as the investment manager of the fund. If the hedge fund manager already manages the assets of a domestic partnership through a single corporate entity, the general partner of the partnership may also serve as the investment manager of the offshore fund. If the sponsor is managing the assets of a partnership through two corporate entities, the entity serving as the management company of the domestic partnership will ordinarily serve as the investment manager to the fund.

Offshore funds are also attractive to United States tax-exempt organizations (e.g. individual retirement accounts, qualified pension and profit sharing trusts) as a method for avoiding unrelated business taxable income. A United States tax-exempt investor who has purchased an interest in a domestic partnership utilizing leverage may be subject to income tax on any debt-financed income. For example, if a tax exempt organization purchases an interest in a limited partnership and that partnership purchases stock in a company and finances fifty-percent (50%) of the purchase price with debt and then subsequently sells the stock for a gain, the tax exempt organization would have unrelated business tax income equal to its share of fifty-percent (50%) of the gain offset by fifty-percent (50%) of its share of net interest cost. A tax-exempt organization must prepare and file a tax return and pay taxes if it receives $1,000 or more of gross income in computing the unrelated business tax income.

Master-Feeder Structure
This structure, also known as a "hub and spoke," allows investors residing in the United States and investors residing offshore to invest, indirectly, in the same offshore corporate entity commonly known as the "master fund." The master fund is typically structured as a limited partnership. Ordinarily, U.S. taxable investors investing in a master-feeder structure directly invest in a limited partnership organized in the United States. This limited partnership is referred to as the "domestic feeder." The domestic feeder invests its assets in the master fund. The offshore investors and U.S. tax-exempt organizations (e.g. IRAs) directly invest in an offshore corporation. This offshore corporation is referred to as the "offshore feeder." The offshore feeder also invests its assets in the master fund. The hedge fund manager then purchases and sells securities in an account held in the name of the master fund.

Side-By-Side Structure
In a side-by-side structure, U.S. investors typically invest in a limited partnership organized in the United States and offshore investors invest in an offshore corporation. The prime broker typically allocates trade tickets between the domestic fund and the offshore fund.
For hedge fund managers seeking to establish both a domestic and an offshore fund, there are various tax, administrative and other issues the manager should consider in determining whether to utilize a master feeder or a side-by-side structure. The choice will depend on the manager's strategy and goals.

Hedge Fund Management
Course Description, Fall 2008

Three ingredients are essential to the success of hedge funds: trading
strategies; capital; and infrastructure and good internal controls. While
the first two seem obvious, the third is equally important. For example,
one can develop a strategy that generates much profit when traded on paper,
but unless the fund has a good relationship with a prime broker, if the
strategy involves hard-to-locate short sales to hedge long positions, the
fund will not be able to execute the hedged positions. Another example is
risk management, which recent market events make clear.

This Course will cover critical managerial aspects and characteristics of
hedge funds and the hedge-fund industry. It intends to look at the legal
foundations and structures of hedge funds including the primary regulations
in the U.S. that are most relevant to hedge funds. It intends to describe
operations, control, administration, due diligence, and valuation issues.
Furthermore, while explicitly not a course on hedge-fund trading techniques,
it will introduce a sampling of basic and esoteric hedge-fund strategies
from a general perspective so that Members better understand the concept of
absolute-return strategies. Moreover, it may discuss performance evaluation
and investing in hedge funds from the investor's perspective, as well as
issues of potential changes in regulation, risk management, and the use of
leverage. The Course may touch upon ethics in the industry. It is designed
to be a multi-functional Course that focuses on practical aspects of
hedge-fund management.

The Course may focus on issues relating to starting and running a hedge fund. Moreover, the knowledge gained in the class will conclude with groups
presenting their strategy, structure, and controls for their own mock hedge
fund to investment professionals who will critique such fund.

Upon the Course's completion, Members who attend the Course should have a
broad understanding of essential knowledge one needs to launch a hedge fund
successfully, provided that such Members have a trading strategy and access
to capital. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Members who register for this
class will learn enough information that will enable them to launch a fund
without hiring legal counsel and other advisers.

Members, whose reason for enrolling is an expectation that they will learn
winning trading strategies, may be disappointed, and are discouraged from
enrolling.

Cliff Notes for My Presentation

Slide 3: Dynamic Storage Allocation
- dynamic storage allocation is allocation of memory at runtime
- important because we do not always know ahead of time how much space we’ll need
- in languages such as C and C++, when we dynamically allocate memory, the programmer must also explicitly deallocate the memory
- not deallocating memory properly is a common source of programming error
- two most common programming errors are dangling references and memory leaks

Slide 4: Problems with Explicit Memory Deallocation
- dangling references occur when the programmer deallocates memory too soon
- in the example, pi is deleted before all references to it have been removed
- when we try to access the value pointed to by q (which consequently was the value pointed to by pi), it no longer exists

Slide 5: Problems with Explicit Memory Deallocation

- a memory leak occurs when the programmer forgets to delete dynamically allocated memory
- in this case, the memory can no longer be returned to the heap
- in the example, you can see that the programmer requested memory at the beginning of the function but never returned it to the heap
- both dangling references and memory leaks can cause a lot of havoc in a program

Slide 6: Solving the Problem
- to avoid dealing with the problems of explicit memory deallocation, languages such as lisp and java use a “garbage collector”
- the garbage collector reclaims objects that are no longer reachable and copies the survivors to another area of memory
- these dead objects are referred to as garbage

Slide 7: Beltway
- this summer my project dealt with optimizing the garbage collector (gc) that Steve, Kathryn, and others created
- this gc is called Beltway and follows the following 5 key ideas of copying gc
1. “most objects die young”
- statistics show that between 80-95% of objects die before the next
megabyte of heap has been allocated
2. “give objects time to die”
- we do not want to collect the youngest objects because they are likely
to still be alive
3. “Avoid collecting old objects”
- not as likely to be dead
4. “incrementality improves responsiveness”
- breaking down amount that needs to be collected at one time
increases response time
5. “copying gc can improve locality”
- reduces amount of fragmentation
- when survivors are copied, they are copied contiguously in memory

Slide 8: Organizational Terms
- before looking at an example of Beltway, there are two terms you must know: belts and increments
- the beltway collector is made up of what we call “belts”
- and the belts are made up of “increments” (which are independently collectible regions of memory)
- both belts and increments can be collected independently

Slide 9: A Simple Example

Slide 10: A More Interesting Example

Slide 11: So What’s the Problem?
- you might be asking yourself this very question – so what’s the problem?
- the beltway examples I showed you follow the 5 principles of copying gc and the beltway gc seems to be a great new collector
- unfortunately, Steve and Kathryn found they could not get FIFO in the nursery without a significant performance hit
- this is the problem we tried to solve this summer
- to understand the reasons behind this problem, we must first look at how pointers are handled in beltway

Slide 12: Pointers and Write Barriers
- pointers whose source and target are in the same increment are called “intra-increment” pointers and are ignored
- pointers whose source and target are in different increments need only be remembered if the target could be collected before the source
- these are old-young pointers (pointers going from an object in an older increment to an object in a younger increment)
- pointers are tested by a write barrier
- the write barrier also has the function of remembering old-young pointers
- to understand how a write barrier works, we need to look at a diagram of a heap

Slide 13: What are Write Barriers?
- if we implement two write barriers (the gray lines), the heap is divided into 3 increments
- if we say that the leftmost increment is the youngest increment (meaning we collect from left to right), we now need to remember only those pointers that cross a barrier from right to left
- this eliminates the need to remember all pointers in the heap
- pointers “to remember” in grey (left) are the pointers the write barrier would have to remember if we were collecting increment 1
- pointers “to remember” in red (middle) are the pointers the write barriers would have to remember if we were collecting increment 2
- pointers “to remember” in gray (right) are the pointers the write barrier would have to remember if we were collecting increment 3
- write barrier benefits us by: giving us better performance, targeted collection, and shorter pause times (less time spent in gc)
- the write barrier sounds like a good idea but it does not come without its cost

Slide 14: Overhead of the Write Barrier
- overhead of the write barrier comes in two forms:
- fast path: does the pointer cross a write barrier?
- slow path: if so, does the pointer need to be remembered?
- as stated, the fast path is cheap (we use a mask and XOR for this) and the slow path is expensive
- now getting back to the problem of the performance hit from a FIFO nursery

Slide 15: Motivation for Optimization
- Steve and Kathryn found that the expensive slow path was being evaluated a lot
- having a FIFO nursery requires many look-ups to determine whether a pointer needs to be remembered
- the quick solution Kathryn and Steve found was to remove the FIFO behavior from the nursery
- to remove the FIFO behavior, two rules needed to be implemented: there could only be a single nursery and it always had to be collected first
- however this made beltway more specific case and Kathryn wanted the gc to be more general
- also without a FIFO nursery, they could not reap the benefits of OF (the idea that we should “give objects time to die”)

Slide 16: Why was Slow Path Evaluated A lot?
- the final clue to the performance hit puzzle was to determine why the slow path was being evaluated so much
- Steve and Kathryn hypothesized that it was because of pointer to TIBs
- TIB stands for “type information block”
- Important things to know about TIBs:
- created when a class is loaded
- declared as an array of object references and allocated into the
nursery (just like all other objects)
- stores information about the class such as methods, virtual
methods, etc
- every object has a pointer to the TIB in its header

Slide 17: The TIB Write Barrier
- because pointers to the TIBs are in the object header, they are not seen by the normal write barrier
- Steve and Kathryn implemented a TIB write to remember pointers to TIBs if necessary
- however the TIB write barriers account for most of write barrier activity
AND
furthermore, it is never necessary to remember pointers to TIBs
- so if we removed the TIB write barrier we thought we could decrease the number of slow path evaluations, thus solving the problem of the performance hit in the nursery
- but we can only remove w/b if we move all TIBs to a “special” place in memory

Slide 18: Optimizations for Beltway
- Here’s what we did
- we implemented an immortal space for TIBs to live for the duration of the program
- the immortal space will never be collected
- turned off the TIB write barrier

Slide 19: A Simple Case First
- but before we could implement these optimizations, we wanted to look at a simpler case to get an idea of how they would affect performance
- so we implemented these changes in an Appel generational copying collector

Slide 20: Appel Generational Copying GC
- objects are grouped into 2 generations according to their “age”
- age is determined by the amount of the heap allocated since the object was created
- generation 0 is called the nursery and generation 1 is called the older generation
- objects are allocated into the nursery
- when the nursery fills, we collect it and promote survivors to the older generation
- we continue allocation into the nursery and the cycle continues
- when the older generation fills, we collect both the older generation and the nursery
- pointers are handled as in beltway (i.e. intra-generational pointers are ignored and old-young intergenerational pointers must be remembered)

Slide 21: Appel Facts to Remember
- nursery is always collected before the older generation
- collection is not FIFO
- nursery is collected most often following the hypothesis that “most objects die young”
- note that this hypothesis is one of the principles of copying gc

Slide 22: Optimizations for Appel
- just like our optimization for Beltway, in Appel we created an immortal space for TIBs and removed the tib write barrier
- the only difference with the tib write barrier is that in Appel the tib write barrier only has a fast path
- this fast path does both tests (does a pointer cross a boundary and if so does it need to be remembered)

Slide 23/24: Results for Appel
- Notice that removing the TIB write barrier (green line and aqua line) causes a significant decrease in runtime (as much as 10% in some places) as compared to Appel without the optimizations
- putting the TIBs in an immortal space does not have much affect on the run-time
- javac: Sun JDK Java compiler compiling jess (another benchmark which is a system shell)
- pseudojbb: emulates a 3-tier transaction processing system

Slide 25: Results for Beltway
- we do not have any results for beltway yet (they are running on the computer as we speak)
- however based on the results from Appel, we expect that removing the TIB write barrier will lower the run-time (probably more so than in Appel)
- we also do not believe that putting the TIBs into the immortal space will have much of an effect on run-time (as in Appel)

CHAPTER 2

“How Changing One Single Onpage Optimization Factor Can Boost Your Rankings By Over 350 Positions!”

Ok, so now we've selected our main 3 keywords:
1. weight loss story
2. weight loss picture
3. safe weight loss

Notice that all of the keywords contain the word "weight loss". This will make things easier for us when we begin to optimize our offpage ranking factors which you'll learn about later.

Ok, so now we've selected our main 3 keywords:
1. weight loss story
2. weight loss picture
3. safe weight loss

Notice that all of the keywords contain the word "weight loss". This will make things easier for us when we begin to optimize our offpage ranking factors which you'll learn about later.

Let's Optimize Our Webpage ...

Step 1: The first thing we need to do is select a page Title for our website.

The page title should:
Include ONLY our main keywords. The least amount of words you can place in the title, the more weight Google will give to each of the keywords and the higher you will rank.

When creating your page title, it should not look like this:
Welcome to our website!

It should not even look like this, which does contain our main keywords, but contains an unnecessary number of words:
weight loss story and weight loss picture and safe weight loss

Although that title isn't horrible and does contain all of your main keywords, you should do a couple of things to cut down on words used.

This would be a perfect title for your webpage:
Weight Loss Story | Safe Weight Loss Picture

Notice that I've:
1. Taken out all of the "ands"
2. Replaced one of the "ands" with a "|" character
3. Note: This character is located on the keyboard directly above the "enter key".
4. Combined the keywords "Safe Weight Loss" with "Weight Loss Picture”

Always Combine Your Keyword When Possible to cut down on the total number of words that are in your title!

Always Combine Your Keywords In The Page Title!

When Google looks at our title it will see all 3 of our keywords only. Combining keywords to cut down on the total number of keywords displayed in the title is a great way to boost the strength of each individual keyword, which will have an immediate impact on your ranking.

Add <h1> header tags

Next we'll need to add 1 <h1> header tag and place our most important keyword there.

The <h1> header tag should be as far towards the top left hand side of the page as possible. When Google reads a webpage, it views the text from the top left hand side of the page, and then follows down to the bottom right hand side of the page. So, it's best to place your <h1> header tag on the top left hand or top/middle portion of your page.

You can think of an <h1> header tag as a title for whatever content you have on your page. For example, the <h1> header tag of this chapter would have been:

"How changing 1 onpage optimization factor can boost your rankings by over 350 positions!”

... and the html code used to create this title would look like this:
<h1>"How changing 1 onpage optimization factor can boost your rankings by over 350 positions!"</h1>

Of course, I would have changed my lesson title to contain my main keyword if I was actually trying to optimize this page for Google. Also, if possible, it's ideal if you can include ONLY your main keyword within the h1 header tags. <h1>Weight Loss Story</h1> would be a perfect header tag.

Note: If you're using an html editing program such as Dreamweaver, all you have to do is highlight the text you want to make your <h1> header tag, as shown below:

"How changing 1 onpage optimization factor can boost your rankings by over 350 positions!”

... and then click the dropdown button from the properties menu, and select "heading 1" as shown below. That will automatically enclose your text within <h1> header tags.

Add <h2> header tags

Next, we'll need to create an <h2> header tag. This can be thought of as a sub heading for our webpage. You should place your 2nd most important keyword in the <h2> header tag. The <h2> tag should be placed somewhere towards the top half of your webpage.

A good <h2> header tag for our example would be:

<h2>safe weight loss<h2> (Usually it's best to place your primary keyword in your <h1> tags and your secondary keyword within the <h2> tags.

CHAPTER 1

We now know we can easily out optimize this #1 ranked website!

... At least for all the onpage optimization factors that Google deems as important. The reason we know we can out optimize them is because of the following things we've found out by

1. The website is not using the keyword "weight loss stories" in an <h1> header tag.
2. The website did not use <alt> image tags containing the keyword "weight loss stories".
3. The website did not place the keyword "weight loss stories" at the very end of the page.
4. The website has a low Page Rank of 4, which can be beaten. We can easily achieve a Page Rank of 5. I'll show you the exact steps for this in the coming chapters.

The website is ranked with their subpage (Weight_loss_success_story.htm). By optimizing our index page for this keyword, we can one up them.

Remember, the main idea behind ranking well on Google is to analyze the top ranked websites to find out exactly what they're doing and then do those things, BUT just a little better to one up them and obtain a better ranking.

We'll continue to go through the same process for the other 2 keywords we've found. It is best to analyze the top 5 ranking websites for each keyword.

Note: If the top 5 websites for a specific keyword have a Google Page Rank of 6 or higher, it's probably not best to shoot for that keyword until we build some momentum and get some initial traffic from the easier ranking keywords with less competition, like I mentioned earlier.

Above I mentioned that keyword research was very important in building traffic. Some other very good resources for building keywords and finding niche phrases include the following:

http://inventory.overture.com
(web-based version of goodkeywords.com)
Cost: Free

http://www.keywordlocator.com
One Time Cost: $87

http://www.wordtracker.com
Monthly Cost: $52.70

That wraps up chapter 1 and the first steps you need to follow in order to choose which keywords you're going to target. This is probably the most crucial step in optimizing any website. You MUST build a solid foundation by selecting the keywords with the right amount of competition or you're doomed for failure.

Ok, let's move on to chapter 2!

2009-03-04T18:33:00.004+07:00

CHAPTER 1

For example, on the page below this website is linking to www.motivation123.com. So, this website is casting a "vote" for www.motivation123.com, thus increasing the Page Rank of www.motivation123.com.

In order to see your own website's Google PageRank, as well as others, you must have the Google Toolbar installed on your computer. You can get that for free here:

http://toolbar.google.com

Once you've installed the Google Toolbar, it will be located at the top of your web browser as shown below:

Seeing that the #1 ranked website for this keyword only has a PageRank of 4 is also good news for us, because a PageRank of 4 should be easy to obtain. Remember, the ONLY way to increase our website's PageRank is by getting other websites to link to us (getting other websites to "cast votes" for us). Later, I'll teach you the right way to get thousands of links pointing to your website in a matter of a few days.

View The Source Code

Every website on the internet is created using a programming language called "html". In order to see the "html code" that is used to create a webpage, we must click "view", then "source" within our web browser as shown below:

This will open up a text file for us to have a look at and see if this website is actually optimizing their "Onpage Optimization factors".
See text file below:

* Side Note: There are 2 types of search engine optimization methods, onpage and offpage optimization. We'll cover offpage optimization in later chapters, but for now we're going to have a look at "Onpage Optimization".

As we view the source file from this website, we need to look for a few things.

a. Whether or not they are using <h1> header tags and are placing the keyword "weight loss story" within those tags. In this case, they are not... AND they aren't even using <h1> header tags at all! Another great thing for us!

b. Whether or not they are using their main keyword in the <title> tags of the website. In this case, they are, which is one of the main reasons they're currently ranked highly for "weight loss stories".

Whether or not they've bolded, underlined, or italicized the words "weight loss story" anywhere in the body of the webpage. In this case, yes... they have. They've actually bolded the keyword "weight loss stories" 4 different times throughout the webpage. At first glance, it looks as though this is another one of the major reasons they've managed to grab the top spot for this keyword. Bolding is something we can do right away, so now we know that we should also bold some of the keywords throughout our copy.

Whether or not they are using image tags and placing the keyword "weight loss stories" within that tag. In this case, that answer is easy because they're not even using any images at all! This is definitely something we can do when optimizing our website. And another thing we can do to "one-up" this #1 ranked website. It is best to add images that are actually named after our main keyword. For example, we could insert an image and call it weight-loss-stories-graphic1.jpg and so on.

The final thing we want to note is whether or not they've placed the keyword once at the very beginning of the copy, and once at the very end of the copy. In this case they have placed it near the beginning BUT have not placed it at the end. This is another thing we can do to better optimize our webpage.

CHAPTER 1
“Optimize The Wrong Keywords And You'll Likely Never See Results ...”

Note: Before you begin, if you're NOT 100% serious about getting your website to the
top of Google and the other major search engines, DO NOT read another word. Only
read on if you plan to put into action, everything I will be teaching you. It's best to print this e-Book off, highlight areas, and take notes as you learn the exact steps needed for a top search engine ranking.

Ok, on to chapter 1...
If you're anything like me, you've probably created a brand new website, Submitted it to a few search engines and hoped that people would mysteriously show up at your site and buy whatever it is you were selling.
After a couple of weeks go by and only a few stray people show up at your website, you decide to try and "optimize" your website around your main keyword in hopes that you just might rank well in 1 of the millions of search engines. Another couple of weeks go by and still no luck. At this point you probably give up and decide to either build another website around a different target market or just lose all hope and quit. Well, news flash, as you've probably figured out by now, this is not the way to go about doing things.

Let me give you a specific example of what your very first steps MUST be when creating any website.

In our example, let's create a weight loss related website. Our weight loss related website will primarily sell a weight loss eBook. Before we start creating and collecting content for the website we need to do a little keyword research. This is VERY important and should not be skipped. To do our keyword research we need to visit a few websites.
The first of which should be http://www.goodkeywords.com. They have a very good keyword tool and best of all, it's free! Once we've downloaded this software, we can enter the most generic keyword for our website into the software. In our example, our keyword would be "weight loss".
You'll notice that in the screenshot below, Good Keywords will return a list of related terms.

SINo. is a next numbering system and just shows shows you the rank of which keyword was searched the most times last month. The SINo. 1 is "weight loss" and was searched 1,413,194 times in the Overture search engine last month. The Words column shows the specific keyword that was searched. If you enter "weight loss", the Good Keywords tool will bring back the 100 keywords containing the word "weight loss" that were searched for last month.
The "count" column will then show us how many times the specific keyword has been searched for the previous month within the Overture.com search engine. Generally, you can take that number times 3, in order to estimate the number of times that keyword has been searched within Google for the previous month. Already, I will see many people making a BIG mistake, and I'll admit, I was one of these people when I first begin my online endevours.

Do NOT start off by optimizing for the keyword "weight loss"

Why? you ask... If a keyword is searched that many times in Overture, then 100 times out of 100, the competition you will have to outrank will be extremely fierce. This is not something you should try to take on right away. For now, just take my word for it. I'll be teaching you later why starting with these highly competitive phrases is not smart. Let's take a quick peek at Google so I can show you exactly how many websites are competing for this keyword. If we go to Google and enter "weight loss", you'll see there are almost 20 million websites competing for this keyword phrase!

I don't know about you, but that's an awful lot of websites to be competing against, especially if you're just starting. By the end of this course, you will be able to eventually target HUGE keywords such as "weight loss", but it's always best to start off on the keywords with less competition. Get some traffic with those keywords, and THEN you can focus on the larger keywords. Ok, so back to finding which keywords we want to target. If we scroll down, we can find some more specific keyword phrases like "weight loss story", "weight loss picture", and "safe weight loss".

These could be possible keywords we should target to begin with. Once we have our list of 3 to 4 keywords, we need to go to Google and check out the competition to see exactly how hard it will be to optimize for the specified keyword.
We'll begin with the keyword "weight loss story" because people looking for weight loss stories are more than likely trying to find out how to lose weight and may buy your weight loss eBook. You'll notice that the #1 ranked website for "weight loss story" at the time of writing this
e-Book is: http://www.runwalkjog.com/weight_loss_success_story.htm
which is not a top level webpage, meaning it's not simply http://www.runwalkjog.com/

This is good news for us because, typically, if a website's subpage is ranking well in Google, we have an immediate advantage if we choose to target the same keyword with our homepage (i.e. www.domain.com). For now, just take my word on this, as I will go into more detail why it's usually easier to rank well for your homepage than any other webpage on your website.

You'll also notice that the website has a Google Page Rank of 4.

Note: Here's a quick definition of Page Rank. Page Rank is Google's way of giving a specific value to how popular your website is. It is based on the number of "votes" other websites cast for your website. A "vote" is simply when another website places a link on their website that is pointing to your website. Generally, the more "votes" or links you have pointing to your website, the higher your Page Rank (PR) will be. Page Rank is 1 of the many factors that Google takes into account when ranking websites.

history of programming languages javascript

2009-02-28T09:09:00.000+07:00

history of JavaScript
javascript introduce in the first by Netscape, which is in 1995. in the first language that is now in a JavaScript is called "Livescript" that functions as a simple language for the browser Netscape Navigator 2. browser is a browser that is very popular at that time. And are in line with the incessant cooperation between Netscape and Sun (the developer pemograman language "java") at that time, then on 4 December 1995 the name Netscape "Javascript" to the language. At the same time, Microsoft tried to own the technology they call as "Jscript" in their browser is Internet Explorer 3. JavaScript itself is a modification of the language programming C + + with the pattern of the simple language of programming C + + is.

Understanding
JavaScript is a programming language specifically for use in web pages to become more alive. If viewed from the tribe said, Javascript is comprised of two syllable, and that is Java Script. Java is a programming language is object-oriented, while the script is a set of programming instructions.

Developed by the JavaScript in Netscape, as a programming language "simple" because it can not make an application or applet. However, with the javascript, we can create an interactive web page easily.

Differences in JavaScript and Java
Java and javascript have some differences. Java is a programming language that is designed for fast execution and writing security. Seen the writing on the security of a command "int" in a reference to the object or taking a special memory space by reducing the number of Java byte codes.

The program has a java classes and methods are exclusive. Java also need equipment to make a declaration, the class method of writing, writing, and ensure the security. It makes java programs appear complex and less user friendly so that it tends to require a hierarchy or some collection of objects.

javascript has a high ability to write even if only in a few lines in the dynamic course. This is seen from the program or Hyper Talk dBase. Programming language the script is also in the complete equipment. that could facilitate users from various circles. Among them there is a simple syntax, functions specifically installed, and needs at least a need to create an object.

Note the comparison with the programming language java javascript on the table below.

JavaScript		Java
1.	Diterjemahkan oleh Client (tidak di kompilasi)	1.	Kompilasi di server sebelum di eksekusi di Client
2.	Bekerja pada objek.	2.	Applets di pisahkan dari HTML (di akses dari halaman HTML)
3.	Kode mempergunakan objek-objek built-in, dan dapat di kembangkan tetapi tidak di perlukan kelas-kelas	3.	Tipe-tipe variabel data harus di deklarasikan
4.	Ikatan dinamis (dynamic binding)	4.	Ikatan statis (static binding)
5.	Referensi objek di cek pada alur waktu	5.	Referensi objek harus ada pada waktu yang di kompilasi

JavaScript Implementation
In client applications for navigator, javascript statement written in a web page the user can respond to commands such as mouse movement, input form, and navigation HTML pages.

For example you can write a javascript function to verify that someone had written information in a form field on the e-mail address and zip code number. without any network transmission, an HTML page complete with any posts in the javascript that can interpret the text in the write on the page and give the look of text when the text dialog rejection of the earlier write one. In addition, you can also take the javascript command for an action (such as play sound files, execute an applet, or communicate with other plug-in) as the response from the open a web page or closing the page by internet users.

Things that need to be noticed
There are several things to note in the processing of javascript programming, such as javascript is case sensitive ", which means that javascript distinguish uppercase and lowercase letters. If you ever learned about programming, such as turbo C or C++, the programming language, and specify that in the letter Q is not the same with the letter t. rule applies also in the programming language Javascript. For example, the function of the var should not be written in the Var and also can not write in the Var (all uppercase). Var is the correct (all lowercase). The command is not new Date may write in the new date (all lowercase). And many others.

Usually there is a long time in the browser <- -> is used if your browser does not support javascript. Tag in HTML comment tags are, so will not be in the execution by the web browser. An example is written as below.

<SCRIPT language="javascript">

</SCRIPT>

Editor of the use of javascript in the very many. For example, Macromedia Dreamweaver, Editplus, Notepad and many others. However, the author suggests to use the Notepad editor. This is so you can understand and to be primitive in the creation of web documents.

In this book I did not discuss about the HTML language with suspicion you have understand it. In addition, the book also discusses HTML has been outstanding so if you understand less about HTML language you can get it easily.

Advantages and disadvantages
Each programming language has certain excess or deficiency, as well as javascript. Among others the following:
a. quickly, because in place in the HTML, and can try on in your browser.
b. Easy, because it has little syntax.
c. Open, (platform independent).
d. Size is very small when compare with the programs java.

While the lack of javascript programming language such as this below.
a. can not make the application independently
b. javascript object, which is managed very limited
c. script can be copy or to copy from a web browser, so that everyone can use javascript program that we have created.

steps to create a blog on blogspot

2009-02-25T17:21:00.004+07:00

The Blog
There may be among you, who do not know you blog about and wonder about the blog, then I'll review a little about the blog version of my own.

1. What is a Blog?

Blog (short for Web log) is a site that is more personal, the more weight to the depiction of the creator of the blog itself.

Blog created by the designers so that the blog works automatically and is easy to operate, so for us-we who are still confused with the programming language to create a website it does not matter. If you can make an email account on the internet, then in making sure my blog is you can.

2. Google List

He said I want to study in the blogger.com blog, why even at Google? No one, because to go to blogger, you must have a login google.com.
Please visit http://www.blogger.com. You will get a page like in the picture below.
If you already have a Google login, you stay logged in, you'll go to the Control Panel or Control Panel.
to create email in gmail or google account just click here.
Oh yes, you can select the language, whether English or English.
For this time I you do not have a Google login.
Click the arrow that reads Create YOUR BLOG.

So far, very easy and will continue to be easy.

3. Blog List

After you click the arrow that reads Create YOUR BLOG, the form will appear as in the picture below.

This process will create a Google account that you can use on other Google services. If you already have a Google account perhaps from Gmail, Google Groups, or Orkut.

A Google account can be used for access to all facilities provided by Google.

If you already have a google account, you can directly log (incoming). To login to Google, you must log in using your email address.

Please complete.

1. The email address you enter must already exist before. You will be sent to a confirmation email. If you use a false email or email that the new plan will be made, the registration may fail. You do not need to use email gmail.com. What email can.

2. Complete the other data.

3. Mark "I accept the Terms of Service" as evidence that you agree. BTW have you read it?

Once complete, click the arrow labeled continue.

4. Create Blog

If you are successful, you will be taken to a page as shown below. If this fails? Usually fail because the word verification is incorrect. That makes sense because the word verification is often difficult to read. The patient only, repeat until correct. I own up to repeat 3X.

After you successfully register, you will be taken to a page like in the picture below. Now you start to create a blog with your name and complete address of your blog.

For example, my blog is named with the name of Hasna Zahidah. Sssst, be suspicious, Hasna is my daughter. I choose the blog address with the address http://hasna-zahidah.blogspot.com
as alaternatif, can also http://hasnazahidah.blogspot.com.

If you create a lens with the purpose of promoting your products or affiliate products, then choose a name, must contain the name of the product or service that you offer. For example if you want to sell my ebook, you can choose the keywords such as motivation, success, positive thinking, words and other key customers.

You can also examine the keywords most searched person (must relate to the products that you sell) in the
https: / / adwords.google.com / select / KeywordToolExternal

You can check the blog address is available if you choose. If available you can continue. If not available, then you must find creative new name or modify an existing address, for example, added abc, xzy, 101, and can also insert your own name.

Continue to click the arrow labeled CONTINUE.

5. Blog Template

Successful? Of course, successfully, that is easy. If successful, you will be directed to a page like in the picture below.

Choose a theme according to your taste. If you do not have that match your taste, do not worry, later on many themes that you can install yourself. Now select the theme that only the process of blog can be completed. You can preview the themes by clicking the picture.

Choosing a theme for your click (mark) o rounded like in the picture below. I see a red arrow with the point I made.

Then you click the arrow labeled CONTINUE

Create Blog Done

Out any posts after the "Your Blog has been created." Click on the picture the arrow labeled "FROM POST". Please write you at your convenience, if you are finished click the "Publish POST".

For beginners, it is usually confused when they make a list of what to fill in the (post) in a blog. Content (content) of a blog, of course, it's up to the owner of the blog itself, is like poetry in content, road life, technique, or whatever. Well here I recommend that, fill your blog with interest and expertise hoby or your own, because, of course, outside there are so many people that would equal his hoby and interests with you, so that they will be interested to read your posts.
