A Cure for Obesity has Finally Been Found

One of the top weight loss experts in the Country has stumbled upon a groundbreaking new approach to combat the obesity epidemic. The olution is unlike anything you\'ve probably ever seen or heard. Damien Young, C.HT,CPT,SPN, one of the Country\'s foremost experts on weight loss and mind/body fitness has discovered a solution for the rising obesity epidemic.

Government studies have consistenly shown that over 95% of people who go on a typical diet fail within 3 years. On top of that staggering ercentage, over 90% of people who try to lose weight by exercising alone fail as well. Even when diet is coupled with exercise, the percentage of men and omen who successfully lose weight and keep it off for at least 3 years is an astounding low number.

It\'s quite obvious that diet, exercise, or both together is not the answer for long term weight loss. Obesity cannot be conquered by external means. People who are significantly overweight did not get that way by a lack of exercise or poor diet. These two common factors are merely a symptom of the underlying problem. The underlying problem and common denominator of the over 95% of failed dieters lies within the depths of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind of human beings is the storage house of all memory, the seat of all emotions and the motor which propels over 90% of automatic human behavior.

Men and women who are obese have a common characteristic. Their subconscious mind has been pre-programmed at a very early age in a way that completely is in resistance to being thin, vibrant and
healthy. Damien Young, a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Personal Fitness Trainer, Sports Nutritionist, and CEO of one of the nation\'s top in-home fitness companies, has not only uncovered the hidden secrets of obesity, but has developed a comprehensive, tested, and proven product which targets the subconscious mind. This product contains over 7 hours of audio designed to realign the subconscious mind with the conscious mind, thus
making losing weight as easy as tying a shoe, or breathing.

Sounds too good to be true? It\'s not. The Instinctive Weight Loss System addresses the most common subconscious blockages obese men and women have relating to their weight. Emotions, fears, beliefs, traumas, and motivation are just a few of the major issues that are addressed in the system.

There are not many obese men and women who consciously do not want to lose weight. The problem is the conscious mind\'s motivations are very short-lived. The source of all long term habitual actions and behavior
stems from the subconscious mind. If the subconscious mind is programmed in a way that is in opposition to the conscious desire, it is absolutely impossible for one to lose weight and keep it off for a long time
period.

The Instinctive Weight Loss System completely transforms thoughts, emotions, and automatic actions at the deepest of levels. It has been selling worldwide in just the couple of months of its inception. Users have experienced weight loss without having to do anything. Many people have claimed to have lost weight without thinking of dieting, and even without exercising one time.

Is this truly the answer to the obesity epidemic. Damien Young believes it is. In fact, he has staked his incredible reputation on the line. He is in the process of developing another system which uses the same proven methods and principles of the Instinctive Weight Loss System, but for the purpose of helping people overcome financial struggles.

Be on the lookout for this amazing product in the months to come. Visit https://paydotcom.com/r/79948/yogiapriadi/23754023/ for more information

Domain Name Secrets Revealed

If internet is about interactivity between websites, domain name is the door for that interactivity. It is your online identity, very much like the name of your best friend, what is his very own personal identity.

From a user\'s point of view, a domain name is what he types in the address bar of his web browser to get a certain web site. For example, domain name of our website is www.kigoobe.com and one can get access to this site using the domain name www.kigoobe.com.

However, the scene behind the screen is not exactly the same. Though we see that computers use domain names to communicate over the internet, the basic things that they use to communicate is something called Internet Protocol Address (also called IP address). It is something numerical and a simple IP address can be like 10100011.00011011.00010101.10010011

This kind of combination of zeros and ones is called binary number system. To make things easier for people IP addresses are translated from binary to decimal numbers and the result becomes something like: 189.01.23.255 This looks simpler, but when thousands and millions of websites are in question, this kind of number system, though better than the first one, was still posing problem and then at last in 1983, the University of Wisconsin came forward with a solution to it, and that was to replace these numeric values with suitable text formats.

So here starts the story of www.kigoobe.com or www.yahoo.com or www.microsoft.com. Of course you will agree, that this is much easier to remember than all these 1 2 3 4 etc.

Another term important in this context and what you may come across quite often is URL. An URL (Uniform Resource Locator) can be said as the exact address that holds your domain name. For example, URL of the domain name www.kigoobe.com will be http://www.kigoobe.com. To see that in action, open another window and type in www.kigoobe.com in its address bar. If you press the enter key after that, you will see that kigoobe.com has been changed to http://www.kigoobe.com as the page loads. That\'s the URL. The browser changes it itself.

If we break this in different parts, we will find http, www, kigoobe, and com.

http: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. Protocol stands for a set of rules for these kinds of communications. Transfer we all know. Hyper text stands for texts that contain links to other texts, and which is not constrained to be linear only. It can thus hold text, graphics, images, sound, video, and other multimedia files, etc.

Now if we take all together, http or hyper text transfer protocol stands as a set of rules that come into being during transfer of those kinds of hyper text files over the internet.

www: World Wide Web. It refers to all the publicly accessible websites of the world. Besides it also includes ftp (file transfer protocol) files, usenet newsgroups, etc.

kigoobe: It can be anything, something that you choose yourself. We have chosen Kigoobe, somebody else chose one day yahoo, you can choose yourname, or yourbusiness, whatever.

com: The most commonly used first level domain name. Other first level domain names include .org, .net, .edu, .gov, .us, .fr, etc.

Got more questions? Why don\'t you simply write to us and we will try to reply to your question! You will get our contact details at kigoobe.com

Happy surfing. Cheers.

SEO Primer - 7 Basics of SEO

We are going to look at 7 Basics of SEO below. These aren\'t the only things you want to know about SEO, but are the areas you should learn first. Some topics will only take you a minute, some will take a little longer, and others will become an ongoing process. But after reading through this list you should have a good handle on where to start and where to proceed next.

SEO Basic 1: Let\'s start off with a definition. SEO stands for \"Search Engine Optimization\" and is the process by which you Optimize your web site so that it is positioned well in the search engines. This is not the same thing as designing a site so that it attracts customers and entices them to buy.

SEO is what you do specifically on your site to improve your Search Engine Position. If you do a search on Google for any search term you will be presented with a list of links. At the top of the page and along the right side will be PPC links where someone pays an amount per click to get positioned. With PPC the more you pay the better your position. Most people only glance at these listings. You don\'t need SEO to get one of these positions, just lots of money.

The body of the page contains \"organic\" listings. These links are listed in the order that Google determined best fit your search, with the best match first. There are only 10 listings per page, most people will only look at the 1st page, maybe the 2nd. So your site needs to be listed within the top 10 and at the worst within the top 20 for any useful exposure. With SEO you will be adjusting your site code so that your site will rank highly. This can be a daunting process as there may be thousands of sites competing for the same top listing. A trick is to aim your pages at less popular search terms to get higher placement. It is better to be on page one for a term that gets 1,000 searches per month than to be on page three for a search term that gets millions of visits.

SEO Basic 2: Your web site must be search engine friendly. The search engines send out \"spiders\" or \"bots\" cataloging web pages they come across. If the search engine has trouble getting through to your pages it will either rank your page poorly, or skip your site all together. Making your site Search Engine Friendly means having the code easily accessible, no errors in the code, and guiding the search engine through your site.

Try to steer away from complicated coding when possible. Check your site for coding errors. This is fairly easy to do with web programs like Dreamweaver which do this for you automatically. Plan on having text based navigation on every page. This is usually placed at the bottom of the pages. You may also want to have a \"Site Map\" page with easy to follow text based links to all of your important pages. Search Engines will look for a Site Map and will use that to navigate a site if available.

SEO Basic 3: The Most Important SEO Aspect is Keywords. Keywords are the terms you type into a search engine to find interesting web sites. You need to know what search terms people are likely to use to find your site, then use those terms as your Keywords. Make a list of the keyword combinations you can think of that you would use to find your site. Try them all on a search engine and see the results.

You need to see how these search terms perform on the web and what other search terms could be used. A great free tool to help with this research is available at Google:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

You type in a search term, then you are given a list of similar search terms, how often they were searched and some advertiser comparison figures. You can quickly find additional keywords and to see how well they perform. A good idea is to optimize your site for a less frequently used keyword combinations so that you can achieve a higher placement. The Google Keyword Tool will help you figure this out.

Focus on keyword groups with 3 or 4 keywords. Many times keywords will overlap, so you can focus on a longer keyword combination and cover many other combinations at the same time. For instance, if you are designing a page to sell Photoshop Training, you can optimize for this keyword phrase \"Adobe Photoshop Training Video\". This will not only give you optimized performance for this keyword combination but also for these other keywords and combinations as well:

Adobe
Photoshop
Training
Adobe Photoshop
Photoshop Training
Adobe Photoshop Training
Photoshop Training Video

So try to come up with a multiple keyword combination that will contain several other keyword combinations as well.

Once you know what keywords you want to use you are ready to place those keywords on your page. The main places you want to use the keywords are:

In the meta title of the page
In the meta description of the page
In the first sentence on the page
In all of the image alt tags
In links to and from the page
Well represented in the body text of the page

Make sure you Pick the right keywords, and make sure they cover more than 5% of the word usage on the page. An easy way to get more keywords onto a page is by using lists such as:

We carry:
Adobe Photoshop Training Video Sets for Educators
Adobe Photoshop Training Video Sets for Students
Adobe Photoshop Training Video Sets for Business

Keep in mind that your page text should still be user friendly. If you use your keywords too frequently or in strange ways on your page, it may rank better in the search engines, but it will drive away visitors. Who wants to read a poorly written page?

SEO Basic 4: Don\'t try anything funny. There are lots of \"tricky\" things you can do to cram more keywords into a page without annoying your visitors. The problem is that the search engines know about these tricks and will penalize your site if you use them. So don\'t do any of the following or you may find your web site disappear completely from the search engine listings.

White letters on white background, or any other similar text coloring trick. Even using a very light gray text on a white background, or very dark gray text on a black background can get you bumped from the search engines.

Don\'t repeat your keyword over and over again. People used to do things like this at the top or bottom of their pages: Photoshop Photoshop Photoshop. This worked in the early days of search engine optimization, but no longer. You should also not try this trick in alt tags, image names, links or other places in your code. The search engines will spot this and you will be penalized.

Don\'t put keywords into comment tags. Also don\'t put keywords in hidden form fields. The search engines will spot these and mark you down accordingly.

Even though putting keywords into image names and alt tags is a great idea, don\'t think that you can just create a bunch of clear gif images sized at 1x1 and fill those with keywords. The search engines are very good at spotting tricks like this as well.

So use your keywords appropriately, don\'t try to sneak one past the search engines and you should do just fine. Just keep in mind, if you think that you need to hide the keywords to trick the search engine you can rest assured that they have already thought of that and will do their best to devalue your site accordingly if you use these \"black hat\" tricks.

SEO Basic 5: All pages should have links to other pages. The main search engines like links. They like outside sites linking into yours, but they also like links within your site going to other pages. So in this case having more pages can be useful. Also since you now have all these pages that you are linking to it gives you a great place to use some more keywords. Make sure that your links include your keywords.

But, and this could have been in section 4 above, don\'t create \"doorway pages\" that redirect you to another page. It used to be common SEO practice to create lots of doorway pages, each one stuffed with specific keywords, all of which would redirect the visitor to the actual page they were looking for. This would give your site lots of pages, with lots of internal links and would allow you to tightly optimize these doorway pages for specific keywords, but the search engines have gotten wise to this trick and now penalize the use of redirect pages. So don\'t use redirects unless you absolutely need to and never use doorway pages.

SEO Basic 6: Only optimize a page for one or two keyword groups. More than that just dilutes your keyword ratio. The search engines will analyze your web page to determine which words are used as keywords. They do this by looking at the title, the description, the page heading and the words used on the page. They then determine how relevant your keywords are to your page. So, if you try to use too many different keywords on a page, it will only bring down the percentage of any individual keyword or group for that page. It is better to optimize for a larger keyword group as discussed above than to try to optimize a page for a lot of individual keywords that can\'t be easily used in one sentence. If you need to have a page optimized for several different, unrelated keywords you are better off creating several different pages and re-writing the body text on each page to match the keywords you are optimizing for. This will make each page relevant for the specific keyword and will get a better placement in the search engines.

SEO Basic 7: Be patient. Even with a perfectly optimized web site it can take several months for it to rise in the search engine standings. I usually recommend waiting at least 90 days and up to 6 months to see how well a web page is doing in the search engines. Also, even though you have gone to great lengths to target a specific keyword or keyword combination keep in mind that the search engines aren\'t required to agree with you. So when checking your standings look at several different search terms that you discovered in your research and see how well your page is placing. Hopefully you will find that your chosen keywords are getting your page listed the way you want, showing that your SEO has worked properly.

If you find that your page is ranking better for a different keyword, you should examine your page code to see why and make adjustments as needed. Maybe your page is placing higher for a keyword combination you weren\'t focusing on, but it is still a good combination for your goals. This gives you an ideal opportunity to go with that new combination to achieve even higher placing.

So, get started right now on your SEO. The longer you wait, the longer it will be before your web site is showing well up in the search engines.

In Closing

There is a lot more to SEO than just these 7 quick points, but this will get you started on the right path. Go through these steps and your web pages will be well positioned for any other SEO you may want to perform on your site in the future.

Tips for Proper Car Service Repair

Acceptable car servicing is crucial if someone hopes to have the benefit of a superior car performance over the long haul. As the cost of owning a vehicle continues to rise, paying attention to proper car service maintenance will permit longer car ownership. Over time, this protracted ownership time will help decrease the costs of auto loan payments and interest charges. It's vital to understand how to find a superior car servicing place, as well as how to steer clear of getting taken advantage of by crooked repair locations.

There are many car service time periods to be aware of. A few crucial timeframes are as follows: at every 3 months or 3000 miles, the oil should be changed. Spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Every 6,000 miles or so, rotate the tires. It used to be normal for a timing belt could be changed every 60,000 miles, but today some have varying intervals and owner's instructions should also be looked at. At every 15,000 to 20,000 miles, align the tires. Replace the fuel filter every 35,000 to 40,000 miles. Following car servicing periods such as those described above will help ensure that a vehicle lasts for a long time.

Purchasers of Volvo cars should always pay attention to the above car service periods as well as checking their instruction books for timely Volvo service on their car. All Volvos should be serviced at the right service intervals that are discussed in Volvo Service Records booklets or at one of the various Volvo dealerships. By focusing on all car servicing obligations under the hood and on the body, Volvo purchasers can keep their autos in excellent condition and take pleasure in their driving experience for many years.
An additional characteristic to car servicing to be attentive to are car service repair scams. A group of people who are frequently victims of this sort of scheme are the elderly. One such scam happens when an apparently concerned individual flags an older person down. This person discloses to the car owner that it looks like the car requires repairs. The scam artist then puts the auto up on the jack and undoes the tire so it will look loose. The elderly individual is swindled into giving the rip-off artist cash to mend the challenge.

Owning a auto involves much more than just adding gasoline when the reservoir gets low. By being aware of the fundamentals of car servicing, a auto can be made to last much longer than the average person realizes. Most repair shops, such as the ones found at many Volvo service places, include honest people. However, it's always an intelligent mental process to invest the time to recognize the car service process.

Beware of Window's Newest Virus

Windows security looks like its well on track for its worst year this decade. The latest attack hosted by Windows is a worm called Downandup, Downadup, Kido! or Conficker. All of these names refer to the same virus, and it is being delivered via infected USB drives.

How does it work? This virus works by tricking you into running the virus by modifying the way "autorun" works when you plug in a drive. If you look closely at the screenshot below you can see two entries for the "Open folder to view files." The option at the top is a deceitful entry that actually installs the virus on your machine. And of course it's the default selection that pops up when you plug in a USB drive. Once it's installed, the virus spreads like wildfire due to a flaw in Windows networking system and can quickly infect a whole office.  Luckily this flaw has now been patched, so make sure that you run Windows Update if you haven't lately.

How bad has the Conficker virus gotten? Estimates range from 3.5 to 9 million infected in the first four days ... and it's getting worse. By now I am estimating the numbers could top 15 to 20 million. From an antivirus standpoint, fixing the Conficker virus is not easy an easy task. The worm is particularly problematic because of the way it involves the user in installing the software, bypassing auto-installation safeguards, and its sophisticated way of avoiding detection. The virus avoids being detected by changing it's code constantly (by using randomized elements) to make traditional, signature-based detection nearly impossible.

Your best strategy for avoiding the Conficker virus? Turn off AutoPlay/AutoRun on your computer. If you do see an AutoPlay dialog box like the one below, just close the window and eject the thumb-drive. By browsing the drive manually for individual files you should keep your computer uninfected, however you're best off not using the drive at all. And most importantly, make sure your system is fully patched via Windows Update. Best of luck in your combat against this deadly virus. Keep your documents safe, your thumb-drive safe, and your computer safe.
