FREEDOM

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” — The Declaration of Independence

“In order to live free and happily you must sacrifice boredom. It is not always an easy sacrifice.” — Richard Bach

Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make good use of it! (letter to Abigail Adams, April 26, 1777) — John Adams

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” — Thomas Paine

If you are like most people, it is probably safe to say that you are often annoyed when sales people become… pushy. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a car salesperson or someone blocking your way past a kiosk in the mall, these sales people have something in common, and that is persistence and the belief that they can persuade you to buy anything and/or everything.

If they talk fast enough, or maybe if they fill your head with so many claims, they feel that you can be convinced.

Unfortunately, there are many sites on the Internet who feel the same way, that if they inundate the friendly neighborhood visitor with claims and boasts and incomprehensible numbers and figures, they’ll persuade you that what they are offering is exactly what you need. And surely you’d agree with them… once you’ve waded through all the claims.

Or, there is the other situation, the one in which you wander into the wrong store, either because the name was misleading or you just weren’t paying enough attention. The same thing happens online. SEO practices can get certain websites to the top of the ranking for a given keyword, even if the searcher’s intent doesn’t quite match up with the content of the site. The visitors who click on your site need to know they found the right place before they have the chance to beat a hasty retreat.

Given these experiences, it should be obvious that being direct and being clear is at least as important a part of SEO as keyword rich content writing or link recruitment. Well, to rephrase, it is important if you want to increase your conversion rate and not just the number of visitors.

Often SEO developers are focused on creating keyword relevant content, and advertisers are focused on finding that great turn-of-phrase or magical call to action that will persuade a visitor to make a purchase. But the truth of the matter is that often it is the simple act of making your site clear that will do the most good for your business.

By clear and direct, this means that a potential customer will need to know immediately where they are, what they can do/buy there, and why they should choose you over the competition.

I am glad to announce that my Color Picker Tool (AdesClrPicker) is now a freeware

Actually I have no idea if he make the Color Code Picker Tool, and when I visit the site, I was amaze How Quick and easy to find the colour code only by clicking the colour of things that appear on your desktop. This tool really useful for web designer and Blogger (who want to change their themes).

Sometimes I need to capture the image and open it on photoshop to see the Color Code, and it so annoying because loading photoshop is takes time, and I only need to get that color code, but now I think that will be over, I can just use this Color Code Picker to get the code easily.

Do you have a new blog or website?, then you need to invite these Search Engine bots to come to your site and Index your page. Will they crawl all of your content? Maybe No… because they only follow the hyperlink that they found on your Index page, to solve this problem, you must have Sitemap

“A Sitemap index is an XML file that lists the multiple XML sitemap files. Sitemap index is an XML sitemap for multiple XML sitemaps. The XML format of a Sitemap index file is very similar to the XML format of a Sitemap file. It allows webmasters to include additional information about each XML sitemap (when it was last updated). After creation of a Sitemap index file webmasters can just notify search engines about the index file and the other XML sitemaps that are included in the Sitemap index file will be automatically notified too. “- Wiki.

You can use Sitemap Plugin to generate the Sitemap for you blog, After that you can manually submit your sitemap URL to following address:

Google =>> http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=
Yahoo =>> http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=
MSN =>> http://webmaster.live.com/ping.aspx?siteMap=
Ask =>> http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=

for example http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http://askax.net/sitemap.xml

This way you can Invite their bot to crawl you sitemap and have your website appear on their search engine.

After wrote about 2 types of basic listening, I want to share few way of how to become Active Listener;

1. Spend more time listening than talking.
2. Do not finish the sentences of others.
3. Do not answer questions with questions.
4. Are aware of biases. We all have them. We need to control them.
5. Never daydreams or become preoccupied with their own thoughts when others talk.
6. Let the other speakers talk. Do not dominate the conversations.
7. Plan responses after the others have finished speaking, NOT while they are speaking.
8. Provide feedback, but do not interrupt incessantly.
9. Analyze by looking at all the relevant factors and asking open-ended questions. Walk others through by summarizing.
10. Keep conversations on what others say, NOT on what interests them.
11. Take brief notes. This forces them to concentrate on what is being said.

Being Active listener is Hard, but it’s not imposible, anyone can do it!

Hearing and listening are not the same thing. Hearing is the act of perceiving sound. It is involuntary and simply refers to the reception of aural stimuli. Listening is a selective activity which involves the reception and the interpretation of aural stimuli. It involves decoding the sound into meaning.

Listening is divided into two main categories: passive and active.

1. Passive listening is little more that hearing. It occurs when the receiver of the message has little motivation to listen carefully, such as when listening to music, story telling, television, or when being polite.
2. Active listening is a way of listening and responding to another person that improves mutual understanding

People speak at 100 to 175 words per minute (WPM), but they can listen intelligently at 600 to 800 WPM. Since only a part of our mind is paying attention, it is easy to go into mind drift - thinking about other things while listening to someone. The cure for this is active listening - which involves listening with a purpose. It may be to gain information, obtain directions, understand others, solve problems, share interest, see how another person feels, show support, etc. It requires that the listener attends to the words and the feelings of the sender for understanding.

It takes the same amount or more energy than speaking.

Take Action!

Begin to pay attention to which listening styles you use throughout the day. How often do you use a listening style other than active.
