			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Submitting your website to Free directories is an arduous task, however, nobody really has a choice because this is the name of the game when it comes to increasing your websites Page Rank ( PR) and popularity online.</p>
<p>What is better? Submitting to Directories or submitting to Search Engines?</p>
<p>Directories are maintained by human beings who work hard in manually adding your website to a specific category where your site should belong. This could take longer for your site to be listed as compared to faster when you add your site to Search Engines which is run through a script and it is automated. It is best to list your site to both especially in directories.</p>
<p>The challenges of getting your site to the top is the competition in Traffic. There are paid Marketing software and marketing firms who employs SEO experts in this arena but you have to prepare in paying a high price.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have a budget to payfor an Auto Directory or search engine submitter, you can still do it. The battle of Traffic wars can be won if you have the right weapon in improving your organic search engine through your key word choices. Why not devote an extra time and effort manually by adding your site the Directories and Search Engines on your own.</p>
<p>Subscribing in a software that automatically submits your site to thousands of Directories online is great but what you are paying are the people who manually does the work for you. Even if you have the auto submitter you still would have to pay extra for the fees charged by search engines to get you sited listed and crawled by Search Engines.You will be investing a huge amount of money in listing your site to Search Engines.</p>
<p>However, there should always be a way and don&#8217;t lose hope, I have complied a link to all FREE Directories Online. All you need to do is click on a link and submit you site. Just take note of the sites that you already submitted to track your submissions.<br />
As long as you are willing to sacrifice your extra time and following the directory guidelines properly, you will get your page listed in no time.</p>
<p>Since I manually researched for these sites, I would ask a simple favor on your part to link back to my website.</p>
<p>It is a <em>&#8220;give and take gesture&#8221; </em>and I would appreciate it very much.</p>
<p>Please copy the code below and paste it on your site, once done please email me and I will send you a login id and password of my Free Directories Site for you to access.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-49 alignleft" title="biz1" src="http://www.webarticlesdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/biz1.jpg" alt="biz1" width="400" height="300" />(WAD) &#8211; Looking for <a title="make money online" href="http://globalonlineservices.com" target="_blank">home based business opportunities</a> online is one of the promising ways to make money. In most cases, stay at home moms or dads wanted to make a living or earn extra money while at home taking care of their children. Finding freedom to work from home drives other people to establish their own home-based business. They can set their own hours, there&#8217;s no boss around and most importantly, they can supervise their family.</p>
<p>However, does this mean you need a big capital or investment to start up a business online? Well it depends. There are lots of home-based business opportunities published online; from small to medium to large scale, business to business (B2B) and more. If you are a stay at home parent looking for an additional income, search for business opportunities from legitimate sites that offer legitimate programs.</p>
<p>Your web presence can translate into money if you know how to market your <a href="http://globalonlineservices.com" target="_blank">business</a>. Making money online can be in a form of online sales from advertisement. Your business can be anything from tangible and intangible products and services. If do not have tangible products to sell, you can also offer online or web services. Examples of these services can be drawn from being a member of affiliate marketing. Becoming an <a href="http://www.webarticlesdepot.com/?cat=71" target="_self">affiliate</a> is usually free of charge; you need to have a descent website and great number of visitors. You can advertise affiliated links of any products and services in your website and any sales from the embedded ads will be monetized and added to your account as payouts.</p>
<p>There are myriads of turnkey <a href="http://globalonlineservices.com" target="_blank">business online</a> that could generate sales without any hassle on your part.  This business can range from offering online mall, stores and thousands of products, without you possessing these products and shipping to the buyers. However, these can be tricky if you are a newbie and you need to do your homework first before you dive into this type of business.</p>
<p>If you are searching a home-based business online, be smart in distinguishing fraudulent transactions. Many have been fooled by these types of the “too good to be true” home based business scam circulating on the Word Wide Web. In order not to fall in a trap of MLM Frauds it is suggested to check with the <a href="http://www.bbb.org/" target="_blank">Better Business Bureau</a> online. Read the latest reviews and the listings of business scams before signing up. Pay attention to the so-called business opportunities advertised on the web and get specific information about the company by writing them personally. Likewise, check out the online business forums, blogs, newsletters, Wikipedia, among others and mind you they are loaded with information beneficial for marketers like you. This information is helpful for your investment’s protection and to avoid being ripped-off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-241 alignleft" title="8907_B15_rgb" src="http://www.webarticlesdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/8907_B15_rgb-300x199.jpg" alt="8907_B15_rgb" width="300" height="199" />(ARA) &#8211; There are more laptops on college campuses today than ever before. In fact, many universities require incoming freshmen to provide their own laptops. Students and professors use their laptops for work, communication, gaming, photos, music, movies and more. Losing a laptop no longer means just losing a hard drive, screen and a DVD burner. Losing a laptop now means losing your memories, hobbies and, most importantly, any confidential personal data that may be stored on it.</p>
<p>The recent downturn in the economy has created an increased temptation for laptop theft. According to a recent Ponemon survey, a laptop goes missing every 50 seconds. That number is likely to rise this year as a result of the recession. Absolute Software, a company specializing in computer theft recovery, data protection and asset tracking, is calling this the perfect storm for laptop theft, especially at colleges and universities.</p>
<p>&#8220;The popularity of laptops on college campuses has increased over the past few years,&#8221; says Lyle Singular, associate vice president of recovery services at Absolute Software. &#8220;The combination of increased availability, greater opportunity for theft on campuses, along with tighter consumer budgets due to the economy, has created the ideal environment for laptop theft.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a survey conducted by Absolute Software, dorm rooms and schools are among the top five places for laptop theft. And with the mobility of laptops, students are even more likely to use them in public places like coffee shops, libraries and in classrooms, further exposing them to theft.</p>
<p>College students should follow these tips to help them prevent laptop theft:</p>
<p>* When working in a public place, like a coffee shop or library, do not leave your laptop unattended. Either take it with you when you leave your table or lock it to a table or other fixed structure before leaving. Also, don&#8217;t assume your laptop is safe in a classroom, even when you are in it. Take your laptop with you when you leave the classroom or get up from your desk to work on a group project.</p>
<p>* Leaving your laptop out on your dorm room desk is an invitation to thieves. Many dorm rooms have a constant flow of traffic going in and out, without anyone really paying attention to their belongings. Some students will even leave their doors open to run to the bathroom or down the hall. Always hide your laptop in a secure location and lock it when you are out of the room, even if it is for a short time.</p>
<p>* Even if you are discreet and constantly aware of your laptop&#8217;s location, use a tracking and recovery program in case of theft. Software like Computrace LoJack for Laptops by Absolute Software is an easy and inexpensive solution to help recover stolen laptops. They even have a Theft Recovery Team staffed with former police officers to help the local police force track down your laptop and obtain search warrants. With a recovery rate of three out of every four laptops that call in stolen to Absolute, Computrace LoJack for Laptops offers added protection and peace of mind.</p>
<p>* Do not use the telltale laptop bag or sleeve. This is a giveaway to any thief that you are carrying a laptop. Instead, find a more discreet carrying case, like a tote bag or regular backpack.</p>
<p>* Never leave your laptop exposed in the backseat of your parked car, even if you are just running to class or dropping a book off in the library. Either bring it with you or discreetly lock it in your trunk. Many laptop thieves will not hesitate to break a window and quickly steal your laptop if they see it in your car.</p>
<p>* While waiting in a line or even in your seat in class, do not leave your laptop on the floor at your feet. It is very easy for someone to casually walk by and take it or reach down and grab it while you are concentrating in class.</p>
<p>* Personalize your computer with stickers or labels, especially if everyone at your school uses the same or similar models. This will make it easy for you to identify if someone is walking away with your laptop, even by accident.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-230 alignleft" title="MACORF-00014544-001" src="http://www.webarticlesdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/8816_B20_rgb-300x210.jpg" alt="MACORF-00014544-001" width="300" height="210" />(ARA) &#8211; Whether you shop at a local small business in your neighborhood, are a small business owner yourself, or are thinking about starting a small business, everyone in the country is impacted by America&#8217;s small business economy. Small businesses continue to be the heartbeat of America, representing 99.7 percent of all employer firms and generating 60 to 80 percent of new jobs over the past decade, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration.</p>
<p>While many think that small businesses have been hit harder than the average consumer in the current economic environment, small businesses are often credited as the sector that will likely lead us out of the current &#8220;Great Recession.&#8221; To remain successful in today&#8217;s economy, it&#8217;s critical for small business owners to reduce expenses and better manage their day-to-day work.</p>
<p>Here are some tips from Rieva Lesonsky, a small business expert on Bank of America&#8217;s Small Business Online Community.</p>
<p>* Be smart about your cash flow<br />
&#8220;Everyone has heard the phrase &#8216;cash is king,&#8217; but for today&#8217;s small business owners, I recommend adopting the mantra, &#8216;smart cash flow is king,&#8217;&#8221; says Lesonsky.</p>
<p>Maximizing your earnings potential on idle cash balances is a smart way to get the most out of your cash flow. Small business owners can do this by placing funds in money market savings or short-term CD accounts. Interest earned on money sitting idle will always benefit your business in the long run.</p>
<p>* Reach out to ask for advice and support<br />
For many small business owners, this is the first time they are navigating their business through this type of economy. It&#8217;s important to remember that it&#8217;s okay to ask for help. Asking for advice and information from peers who may have experienced a similar situation is a great way to strengthen your business. There are also forums out there for small business owners to obtain expert advice and gain access to additional information they might need for their business. For example, Bank of America&#8217;s Small Business Online Community is a free and open forum available to all small business owners. Users can network, share, learn and exchange business ideas with peers and experts across the country at any time of the day.</p>
<p>* Every little bit helps<br />
The current economic environment has brought with it many discount opportunities. Many vendors are offering deals right now, making it a good time to invest in new technologies and equipment for your business. Investing in your business now will ensure that when the economy turns around, you are prepared to take advantage of any and all growth opportunities.</p>
<p>* Delegate jobs to optimize efficiency<br />
&#8220;As a small business owner, you need to focus your time on innovation and business growth. This means remembering to delegate other office work like staying on top of invoices and collecting on receivables to a trusted employee or service,&#8221; says Lesonsky. There are many tools available to help small business owners be more efficient and make managing your company&#8217;s money easier and less time consuming.</p>
<p>For example, Bank of America&#8217;s Online Business Suite gives business owners the ability to invoice customers, receive payments and pay vendors and employees electronically. Electronic payroll for employees instantly calculates federal, state, local and voluntary withholdings, with 100 percent accuracy guaranteed so you don&#8217;t have to worry about making these deductions manually. In addition, the Online Business Suite synchronizes with leading financial software and is scalable to meet the needs of your business at every stage of growth.</p>

The all-time low interest rate has a positive impact on people’s decision to buy. Smart buyers believe that investing in real estate market is one of the best ways to make their money grow through equity build-up. If you had been renting over the past 10 years, now is the best time to buy and invest in real estate market. As compared to renting, how much is your total rental payment will be in the next 10-15 years?  If you do the math, the money that you will pay for the rent is good enough to pay for half the amount of your mortgage. The money you pay for the mortgage is apportioned and goes towards the principal and the rest goes towards the equity that accumulates and grows. In the long run, you and your family will live in a nice and comfortable place that you can call your own, at a bigger value.</p>
<h2>Advantages of Buying</h2>
<p>If you own a home, the mortgage balance decreases overtime, equity builds up and the value of the property will definitely rise. The fixed cost of mortgage payment gives you peace of mind in terms budgeting your money while in most cases, rental rates always go up at certain percentage anytime at the landlord’s advantage. With home ownership, all interests paid for the tax year is tax deductible. As a homeowner, the freedom to do what ever you want to your home cannot be bought; you can remodel the house that suits your needs without asking permission from the landlord and there will be no more tenant/landlord laws to follow.</p>
<h2>Disadvantages of Buying</h2>
<p>Buying needs a sizable amount to be used as a down payment plus other costs involved in home purchasing. If you need to improve the look and feel of the house, you have pay for all the costs involved in home improvement while if you are renting, the landlord shoulders all utilities and maintenance costs. If you decided to move in the future, it can’t be done anytime; you have to wait until the house is sold. As compared to renting, buying has better advantages. No matter what happens to the value of the home, you will always gain equity and your money is saved and not lost. Whatever your situation may be, investing in real estate offers the best and higher rate of return than most any other investments you could make.</p>

<p>Dr. FuelGood is Sam Memmolo, an ASE-certified auto technician and automotive expert for Shell. He has the following advice on the best care for your car:</p>
<p>&#8220;As a master auto technician and passionate car enthusiast, I&#8217;ve worked on a number of different types of vehicles throughout the years &#8212; from hot rods to motorcycles to minivans,&#8221; Memmolo says. &#8220;I constantly stress that there&#8217;s no substitute for preventative maintenance. A little TLC can go a long way when it comes to taking care of your vehicle and avoiding costly repairs. Whether you drive a performance-oriented sports car or a more practical family vehicle, there are a few basic tips that I recommend all drivers follow to ensure your car is ready for the road.&#8221;</p>
<p>Change your oil: Regular service can help prolong the life of your vehicle.</p>
<p>A regular oil change is the service most likely to help prolong the life of your vehicle. Yet recent nationwide vehicle inspections found that 32 percent of vehicles have low, overfull or dirty engine oil, according to a 2008 study found on www.carcare.org, indicating that many motorists fail to perform this important task. Changing the oil (not just topping it off) using a high-quality motor oil that meets the specifications recommended by your vehicle&#8217;s manufacturer helps your engine get the lubricant protection it needs. Don&#8217;t forget the following tips:</p>
<p>* Check the oil level regularly and change the oil at the intervals outlined in your vehicle&#8217;s owner&#8217;s manual.</p>
<p>* Many manufacturers recommend different oil change intervals for different driving conditions. Follow the guidelines for the conditions under which you typically drive, such as &#8220;normal&#8221; or &#8220;severe service.&#8221;</p>
<p>* Replace the oil filter with every oil change.</p>
<p>Go with the flow: Check all of your vehicle&#8217;s fluids.</p>
<p>Engine oil is not the only fluid your vehicle needs to run properly. Reference your owner&#8217;s manual to find information on where fluids are contained, exactly how to check them, the type your vehicle uses and how much should be in each &#8220;reservoir.&#8221;</p>
<p>If you see drops of fluid under your vehicle, you should be able to identify them by color or consistency. A few small drops are probably not a cause for concern, but you should take note of small puddles. Here is a guide to recognizing fluid leaks:</p>
<p>* If the fluid is yellow-green, blue or fluorescent orange, it could indicate a cooling system leak or an overheating problem.</p>
<p>* If the fluid is dark brown or black, it is most likely engine oil. The engine could have a bad seal or gasket or a loose oil filter.</p>
<p>* A red oily spot means you probably have a transmission or power steering fluid leak.</p>
<p>* A puddle of water is usually normal and is simply condensation from the air conditioning system or the defroster.</p>
<p>Choose carefully: There is a difference in the fuel you choose.</p>
<p>Some of the world&#8217;s top automakers &#8212; Audi, BMW, General Motors, Honda, Toyota and Volkswagen &#8212; recognize that current Environmental Protection Agency minimum detergent requirements do not go far enough to prevent engine &#8220;gunk&#8221; (harmful carbon deposits) that can harm engine performance. To raise the bar on fuel quality, these auto manufacturers designated the voluntary TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standard to help drivers avoid the problems that can be associated with using lower quality gasolines.</p>
<p>Fortunately, preventing engine gunk is as easy as choosing the right gasoline. Shell recently introduced the new Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines, containing a unique, patented cleaning system designed to seek and destroy engine gunk left by lower quality gasolines. The new Nitrogen Enriched formula helps clean and protect critical engine parts in both conventional and modern engines, and it is TOP TIER Certified.</p>
<p>No matter what grade of fuel your vehicle requires, it&#8217;s important to use a high-quality gasoline that meets TOP TIER standards. Industry research confirms that a clean engine can result in better fuel efficiency, reduced emissions and overall optimal engine performance.</p>
<p>The bottom line</p>
<p>Next to buying a home, a vehicle is probably the most expensive purchase many people will make. That&#8217;s why it makes good economic sense for owners to take proper care of their vehicles through preventative and routine maintenance. &#8220;Most of us will switch vehicles throughout our lives, but it&#8217;s important to remember that basic car care knowledge is the same regardless of make or model,&#8221; says Memmolo. &#8220;So even if you decide to trade in your reliable family sedan for a flashy convertible &#8212; or vice versa &#8212; following these basic tips will help you take better care of your car.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-194 alignleft" title="credit-cards" src="http://www.webarticlesdepot.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/credit-cards.jpg" alt="credit-cards" width="413" height="310" />(ARA) – Concerned about the credit crunch? It’s understandable if you are, since financial experts are broadly predicting that the crunch is only going to get worse, even for those with unblemished credit reports. In this economy, it’s more important than ever to be pro-active about monitoring your credit score.</p>
<p>You need to check your credit report regularly, and not wait until you’ll be applying for new credit, like an auto loan, mortgage or even a credit card. Knowing what’s on your credit report could mean the difference between getting favorable or less-than-favorable terms the next time you apply for credit. It’s the first step toward reaching your personal financial goals.</p>
<p>Still not sure you need to monitor your credit report? Consider these facts:</p>
<p>Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to your credit report. While the credit bureaus strive to provide the most accurate information possible, they can’t do it alone. They need consumers to keep an eye out for errors and alert them right away when one occurs. If you’re monitoring your report regularly, you’re much more likely to catch and correct errors right away – before they can affect your credit standing.</p>
<p>Identity theft continues to rise, and in a down economy is likely to become an even greater problem. Multiple studies indicate that the average ID theft victim spends around 40 hours to correct the damage done by identity thieves. While the majority of identity theft still occurs in traditional ways – stolen trash or mail – Internet-based ID fraud is on the rise. Your credit report is an important tool in helping you catch and correct identity theft early.</p>
<p>With the credit crunch playing out in markets across the country, consumers need to develop and nurture smart credit habits. Wise credit moves include:</p>
<p>* Paying bills on time every month. Or, if you’re having trouble paying all your bills, working with creditors in good faith to establish livable payment terms – and preserve your good credit standing.</p>
<p>* Pay down highest interest debts first, since they cost you the most over the long-term.</p>
<p>* Or, if you have debt with a low balance that you can pay off relatively quickly, do so. It will illustrate to potential lenders that you pay off your debts, plus you’ll enjoy the emotional bounce you get from lightening your debt.</p>
<p>* Monitor your credit report regularly. Signing up with services like <a href="FreeCreditReport.com" target="_blank">FreeCreditReport.com</a> can give you more control over your personal finances. Checking your credit report online simplifies the confusing world of credit information to give you more control over your personal finances.</p>
<p>* If you find errors or evidence of fraud on your credit report, quickly notify the credit bureaus in writing, and work with them to remove incorrect information from your record.</p>
