Importance Of Self-Improvement For Directory Owners
Self-Improvement is a process of self-guided improvement through various economical, intellectual and emotional techniques. Having the ability to improve one’s self is not only a critical characteristic every directory owner should have but also what also web entrepreneur should know about and learn how to utilize it for own advantage.
Since self-help is such an important and crucial topic, it will be covered in a number of posts. In this post, you will be able to read the basis of self-improvement process as well as two crucial techniques to improve oneself.
In fact, self-improvement strategies have started back in 2500 B.C., when a couple of theories were presented to the public about basic human needs. It’s worth mentioning that in the old religious books, many researches have also found the idea of self-improvement, like these two:
“Heaven helps those who help themselves” or
“God helps them that help themselves”
Finally, now lets cover two most important techniques to implement those self-improvement theories:
- Be Proactive: well, being proactive or reactive is all about the ways someone solves and reacts to problems. So, when someone is reactive, he tries to blame others for his own problems and errors. On the other hand, when you are proactive, you take full responsibility for every situation that happens in your life. Furthermore, when you are reactive you spend your life reacting to situations, events and circumstances, rather then shaping them - being proactive. Therefore, the more proactive you are the better you can take charge of your future, health, relationship, finances and finally your directory! Let me give you a simple example here to demonstrate what I am talking about. We get sick, scared and decide to take medicine and to get healthy again - being reactive. Your significant other leaves you and you decide to be a better partner and do anything to make it work - being reactive. All of those are indeed very good decisions but they should have really been made before those situations have occurred. If you have not noticed yet, life is based on reactive decisions,?Ǭ† which are made of fear, limited options and thus which are never going to lead us to the best life we all hope for. Besides, if you want amazing things happen in life, then you need to do, decide and create those amazing things at first - being proactive.
- Begin with an End in Mind: whenever you start doing anything new in your life, whatever it is, you should always establish a clear goal in mind regards what you hope to achieve with it. So, first, establish a general goal and then define step-by-step process of how you plan to get there. Remember anything is possible as long as your efforts are equaled to your goals. The smaller the difference between your efforts and your goals the faster you can achieve it. So if you want to make $100/per day with you directory and the amount of money and time is equaled to $100/per day then you will start getting closer and closer to you goal everyday and eventually achieve it!

SEO Meter - Like Alexa But For Crawling And It Actually Works
Independent Thoughts - After 642-845 and EX0-101, professionals who already have 642-552 and 70-294 to their credit, seldom go for a basic certificate like 70-647.
SEOMeter.com is a website, which I have discovered recently when I was surfing the internet. I find this seo tool pretty useful since it unveils Google’s crawl rate. Now, I’ve decided to bring it to your attention and tell you what I honestly think about it.
First, let’s start off with the owner’s description of the service:
Free online SEO tools that allow webmasters to monitor Google’s crawl rate and cache history over time.
How does it work?
It tracks your website’s crawl rate by getting its cache from Google. (cache: yoursite.com) It’s worth mentioning that the service only measures Google’s crawl rate because only Google provides free access to this kind of information. Then it stores the information in its database and displays it when needed.
So what?
Well, crawl cycle can tell you a lot about a particular website. For example, the more often the website is crawled by Google:
- The more important the website is to Google.
- The more Google ‘trusts’ that website.
- The faster a link will be recognized by Google.
What I like:
- Cool, sleek web 2.0 design, which provides users with unique, long-lasting browsing experience.
- The idea of including 20 most often crawled websites.
- List of most often crawled web directories.
- Nice graphs, which actually help you interpret the information better, unlike numbers.
- Ability to compare sites, so you know where it’s more efficient and effective to advertise.
- Company’s Blog, so you understand what’s going on at SEO Meter.
What I dislike:
- Small database of sites, which I am sure will be expanded in the near future.
- Small variety of crawling statistics banners (like 88×35 and 468×60).
- Lack of ability to post crawling statistics graphs on a website (except a screenshot).
- Small maximum number of websites to compare (only 3 websites).
In conclusion, I see that SEO Meter has gotten a bright future as webmasters become more and more reliable on search engine traffic. I really like it and will use it whenever I start any advertising campaign. Now, I want to know what you think about it. Do you like it?
How To Get Into Google In Less Than A Week
Getting a website indexed by Google can be very frustrating, time consuming and difficult. This is so because nearly thousands of websites are created daily, and Google Bot is simply not strong and smart enough to index all the new websites instantly. The other reason why Google Bot doesn’t index new websites is because they seem to be valueless: not enough fresh content and link popularity.
Well, so who do you get your site indexed by Google easily and quickly? The answer is pretty easy and simple: get more fresh content and increase link popularity. Sounds too easy?Moreover, you think you’ve already done that but it still doesn’t work? It’s because you are not doing it right.
Now let’s do it right, and discuss each step in great detail:
- Fresh Content: number one important rule for the content is the uniqueness, post’s length and relativism. First off, copying and pasting articles from other blogs won’t do the trick. Even worse, your site might be banned from Google forever due to the duplicate content. Second, your content should be update regularly - at least once a week. Hint: don’t post a lot of articles at once, introduce them overtime. Third, the length of articles should be reasonable - not too long and not too short. Try to keep your articles between 350 to 1000 words. Finally, post only related articles. Never ever, post any unrelated paid articles or reviews.
- Link Popularity: so how do you plan to do it? Directories, link exchanges and so on? Well, it’s a good technique to increase your link popularity, but it’s not going to help you getting indexed by Google quickly. However, commenting on do-follow blogs helps your site get indexed quickly now days! Why? Well, it’s pretty simple. First, blogs are updated daily and thus Google indexes them regularly. Second, your link will be up, within 24 hours. Third, many blogs use various plugins which feature the latest and top commentators on the main page. This way you are getting free backlinks. Use this and this list of do-follow blogs do find the right blogs to comment on.
If you will follow these steps your site will be indexed by Google within a week. I’ve used this techinuque for a long-period of time and it works well every time. Go on try it! Tell me how long it takes for your sites do get indexed now, by commenting.
