How to Maximize Your Business Using Traffic Generation ...

Whatever type of business you can think of, you can be sure that you can find them online. Online businesses are the trend nowadays. All sorts of businesses are sprouting. Their number increases day after day. So what are you waiting for? You may find that bringing your business online will bring you more rewards than the traditional offline business venture.

Setting up a business online is one thing. Making it successful is another. With the infinite possibilities of the World Wide Web, we can make an intelligent guess that other businesses have made their way online, as well as limitless upcoming new businesses. With an online competition like that, making your business one of the best online is seemingly impossible to do. Have faith, and think of this as a huge challenge ? achievable and not impossible.

Your business starts off with setting up a website. This would be another topic, seeing that we are tackling article marketing. After you make a website for your business, you have to let other Internet users to know about your business website and visit your business website. You should advertise your business website. This can be done in various ways. One preferred strategy is by article marketing.

Article marketing is a useful tool and a powerful source of generating traffic and providing links to your business website. Article marketing in its greatest sense, generates traffic to your business website. In order to be successful in article marketing, your articles must be able to generate traffic. What does this mean? A person online that reads your article and consequently goes to the link to your business website generates a hit. Website traffic refers to the amount of hits that a website generates. In your case, it is highly recommended for your business website to have lots of traffic.

The likelihood of somebody in the Internet buying your product increases as the traffic to your business website increases. This is sort of like having a lot of customers coming in your store. The bigger the number of people inside your store, the better the chances you have of selling your product.

Probably the best strategy to increase traffic to your business website is article marketing. Aside from creating articles that appeal to consumers, it is also of prime importance to advertise your articles to the online community where they can be reached. You can?t just post your articles anywhere in the Internet. It would be harder than finding a needle in a haystack. They don?t call the Internet as the infinite web for nothing. It would be like placing an ad poster to a very isolated alley or desert. There won?t be too many people finding your ad. In order to advertise effectively on the net, it would be for your best interest to submit your articles to well known article directories and ad sites.

Search engines run through article directories. This would be of big help to exposing your article to the online community. A lot of potential customers can be reached especially those that prefer to use search engines. But you can?t post your articles in search engines. There are places to post your articles and these are called article directories. Some require payment but the huge majority of article directories are free. These article directories categorize your articles to their appropriate field or genre. Most of these article directories have a search field to help speed up the search for specific articles that online users want. This is where article keyword comes in. Your article should have the appropriate keyword or keywords to make it easier to spot. These are the same keywords that online users use to search for what they want in the search fields of article directories or search engines.

Why is article marketing effective at directing quality traffic to your business website? One of the reasons that article marketing is effective at directing quality traffic to your website is that when an online user reads your article, it already informs them of what your business is all about as well as your available products and services. They visit your website because they are there to already do business with you, or seek for additional information regarding your business. Hence, they are referred to as quality traffic since they are most likely to buy than regular traffic, who happens to be online users who just browse without intending to buy.

In order for your online business to survive, you must have a steady flow of traffic in your business website to sustain you. If you want it to thrive, attract even more traffic to your business website by creating more articles. Do not underestimate the power of articles. They inform all potential online consumers. Don?t settle for just a few articles. The more articles, the more traffic your business website generates.

Constitution Check: Does a president have the power to repeal a federal law?

Constitution Check: Fact-checking the newsConstitution Check Lyle Denniston looks at how Mitt Romney could try to overturn the Affordable Care Act if he were president ? a task that could be very difficult.

The statement at issue:

?If our goal is jobs, we have to stop spending over a trillion dollars more than we take in every year. ?So to do that, I?m going to eliminate every non-essential, expensive program I can find. That includes Obamacare??

? Republican president candidate Mitt Romney, in a speech July 11 to the convention of the NAACP in Houston, as reported in various news accounts.

We checked the Constitution, and?

The President of the United States has awesome power, but the Constitution does not give the occupant of that office the authority to ?eliminate? a law that has been passed by Congress, whatever the voters may think of that law.? It is a fairly common rhetorical flourish for presidential candidates to say something like ?when elected, I will repeal? a law.? But they can?t.

The process for repealing a law has to begin in Congress.? Last week, the House of Representatives made a start on eliminating the new Affordable Care Act, from end to end. By a roll-call vote of 244 to 185, the House passed H.R. 6079, to wipe out the law as of March 23, 2010, the day it was signed by President Obama.? In the words of the bill, the law would be eliminated ?as if such Act had not been enacted.?

Not only would that measure erase some 2,700 pages from the federal statute books, it would also erase more than 13,000 pages of federal regulations written by government agencies to carry it out.

Will that happen?? The chances are, at best, remote.? Here is what probably has to happen for H.R. 6079, or a similar measure in the future, to become a law:

First, the Republicans must retain control of the House in the November election, with at least? 218 seats (a majority of the 435 if a vote on repeal is cast along strict political party lines).

Second, the Republicans must take control of the Senate away from the Democrats in November.? They must wind up with control of close to 60 seats in the new Senate and, to be really confident of succeeding, they must win 60 or more.

About Constitution Check

  • In a continuing series of posts, Lyle Denniston provides responses based on the Constitution and its history to public statements about its meaning and what duties it imposes or rights it protects.

Third, even if both of those things occur, a repeal bill would have to overcome a certain veto by President Obama ? if he has been reelected in November.

Fourth, even if the president loses to the Republicans? Mitt Romney, a repeal bill almost certainly would face a Democratic filibuster in the Senate, and that is why the GOP would need close to, if not actually, 60 seats in that chamber.

Assume, then, that the Affordable Care Act survives a repeal effort in Congress.? So far, the House of Representatives has voted 33 times to overturn all or part of that law, and none of those measures has become law, so it has a good chance of surviving.

Would a President Romney be able to do anything to keep the law from going into full effect at the beginning of 2014, as it is presently scheduled to do??? He would have a number of options, and each would presumably be constitutional.

He could order the Internal Revenue Service to stop enforcing the penalty that the ACA will impose on those who fail to obtain health insurance policies by 2014.? That insurance-purchase mandate is the heart of the ACA, and the entire law might be in some jeopardy if that provision were to become a virtual dead letter.? The Supreme Court last Monday ruled that the penalty is, in legal terms, a tax, and the President would be in a position to direct IRS not to use the few tools of enforcement that are available in the ACA.

Because the penalty is now designated as a tax, Congress could simply repeal it using a somewhat complex procedure known as ?reconciliation.?? Under that procedure, a bill cannot be filibustered in the Senate, so it would require only a majority vote to pass that chamber.? As a matter of fact, Congress used this procedure ? after the initial passage of the ACA ? to make some changes in it without encountering a filibuster.

Moreover, the White House could order the federal Health & Human Services Department to slow down, or perhaps abandon, the massive project of writing new regulations to implement the health care law.

In addition, a President Romney could work together with opponents of the ACA in Congress to deny federal funding for some or all parts of the ACA.? Such efforts, though, might face a Senate filibuster.

Perhaps most importantly, a new President would be able to use the ?bully pulpit? that is the White House to build up public support for overturning the ACA, or at least to cut back on its major provisions.?? Already, a number of Republican governors who are opposed to the ACA have announced that their states will ?opt out? of the new law?s broad expansion of the Medicaid program of health care coverage for the poor.

In a real sense, then, the fate of the health care law may be said to ride on the outcome of the November elections, for the White House and for Congress.

Islamists continue destroying Timbuktu heritage

(AP) ? Despite international condemnation, the radical Islamic faction controlling the northern Malian outpost of Timbuktu continued destroying the city's ancient tombs on Monday, laying waste to the city's five-hundred-year-old heritage.

The destruction began on Saturday, after the al-Qaida-linked faction Ansar Dine secured its hold on the three main towns in northern Mali, including Timbuktu. They descended on the tombs of the city's Sufi saints with axes and shovels, as well as automatic weapons, saying that they were idolatrous. Their destruction spree continued through Monday.

"This morning, the Islamists continued breaking the mausoleums. This is our patrimony, recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO," said Aboubacrine Cisse, a resident of the town who slipped outside on Monday to witness the destruction. "They are continuing to destroy all the tombs of all the saints of Timbuktu, and our city counts 333 saints," he said.

The U.N. cultural agency has called for an immediate halt to the destruction of the sacred tombs. Irina Bokova, who heads the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, cited in a statement Saturday reports that the centuries-old mausoleums of Sidi Mahmoud, Sidi, Moctar and Alpha Moya had been destroyed. Meeting in St. Petersburg in Russia, UNESCO's World Heritage Committee, last week placed the mausoleums on its list of sites in danger at the request of Mali's government.

And in Dakar, Senegal, on Sunday, Fatou Bensouda, prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, said that the destruction of the city's patrimony constitutes a "possible war crime," according to private radio station RFM.

Reached by telephone in an undisclosed location in northern Mali, a spokesman for the Islamic faction said that they do not recognize either the United Nations or the world court.

"The only tribunal we recognize is the divine court of Shariah," said one of Ansar Dine's spokesmen, Oumar Ould Hamaha.

"The destruction is a divine order," he said. "It's our Prophet who said that each time that someone builds something on top of a grave, it needs to be pulled back to the ground. We need to do this so that future generations don't get confused, and start venerating the saints as if they are God."

For years before the north of Mali became a base for an offshoot of al-Qaida, Timbuktu was a must-see for backpackers and package tour groups. Much of the city thrived on tourism, from young men who memorized the history of the tombs to act as tour guides to the numerous hotels and restaurants, nearly all of which are now shuttered.

Hamaha said he didn't care about the impact that their actions will have on tourism.

"We are against tourism. They foster debauchery," he said.
