Effective Advertising and Info Management

When travelling in remote areas, wether by foot, vehicle, bike or other means, there is always the possibility that you can become lost or stuck. Assuming that you have already planned your trip well you would have no doubt let someone know where you are going and when you expect to return, well, for your sake I hope so

With this being the case and in the (hopefully) unlikely event that you did somehow manage to get yourself stuck or lost (although I’m sure it would never happen to an experienced campaigner such as yourself :P) an air search would most likely be conducted.

What follows is a quick reference guide to the most common signals that will be useful in the event of an air search.

Ideally construct these signals on high ground using fabric, rocks or logs that contrast in colour with the ground. (Ideally they should be at least 3m in size)

USEFUL AIR SEARCH SIGNALS

K : indicates the direction to proceed

I : serious injuries, send doctor

II : send medical supplies

X : unable to proceed

F : need food and water

<-- : travelling in this direction

(triangle) : should be safe to land here

(square/rectangle): require map and compass

L : need fuel

LL : all is well

N : no

Y : yes

JL : not understood

If your message has been understood, the pilot will rock the plane’s wings from side to side or flash a green light.

If the pilot makes a right-hand circle or flashes a red light, this means the message is seen but not understood.

I sincerely hope you never ever have to use any of the information provided here, however as they say; better safe than sorry (or dead X|)

While you wouldn’t be destitute, if you have gone through life never having sat around a campfire with good friends, you are certainly less rich in memories than those of us who have. Hours whiled away under dark skies in the bright light of roaring flames bring mighty returns on the simple investment of time well spent. One good night of campfire capers can earn years of chuckles, smiles, and comforting recollections.

Whether in public parks or private campgrounds, families and friends play out those special, joyous scenes: kids igniting marshmallows in the hot flames; older uncles blackening hot dogs beyond identification over the reddest embers; adults sipping on coffee, legs crossed, swapping insights or gossip; someone telling jokes or scary stories; every time the circle of folding chairs grows larger, the satisfaction grows with it–all are welcomed to the warming glow of the campfire. There are always stories; surely you have yours. Here are some of ours.

They usually begin with something like: “Hey, remember the night that Muskie dozed off and the soles of his boots started smokin’? He never even budged till the Cat’s Paw was glowing. Just goes to prove the sedating power of three or ten beers.” But such incidents were typical for Muskie, key member of a cast of campfire buddies who piled up good times like most people stack used newspapers–high and deep.

Fishing trips provided the opportunity for the buddies to escape for over night trips or for weekends, and, of course, every trip required an evening campfire, the perfect venue for canvas covered folding chairs to be arranged in a circle (sort of like the Round Table or maybe Stone Henge). Sitting in the flickering spotlight, each person in the regular crew played his role: Gasser (the omniscient leprechaun whose booming voice told all, discussed all, whether anyone else wanted to hear it or not); Hopinskin (the good-natured but agitating “human tripod” who affectionately belittled everyone else); Cappy (the war vet who served as Father Wisdom); Muskie (the likable oafish giant who could carry a 10 hp Merc in each hand when boats were being relocated from rooftops to water); EZ Ed (country western singer and English teacher); Ron P (metal working artist who built his own boat trailers and could drink a beer or four); Big B (group organizer, foodstuff procurer, and biology teacher who could tell Muskie exactly what kind of poisonous plant he got into this time); Freeman (bank officer, good friend of Cappy’s and detached observer of the shenanigans); Puff Stoner (farm boy become educator, dispenser of philosophy); me (rookie sportsman, born a decade too late to be contemporary with the others, born two decades too soon to have bonded to younger guys); Lyle T. (owner of one of the world’s largest tackle boxes with every tray full); others, too, who took their turns in the ring–EZ Ed’s nephews, and sometimes Sully. Everyone in the circle, at one time or another, offered up some misadventure or faux pas that would provide the campfire caper of that trip. It just seems like Muskie had the most, if not always the best.

So many people have websites that simply sit out there in cyber space collecting dust when they could be generating a fair amount of money. The problem is that typical domain parking doesn’t help one get any traffic to their site to sell services, generate money from ad programs, or anything! Many of us settle for the terrible or even mediocre traffic that we get coming and going through our website, even when the seach engines aren’t helping us out any. Despite adding links and other things to your websites, you just cannot seem to drive traffic to your website. This is a common enough problem, no doubt. You can change all of this if you want to. If you are willing to think outside of the box and forego traditional domain parking you’ll find that your websites can be far more lucrative than they are now.

The reason that so many websites cannot seem to generate an interest or even steady traffic is because traditional domain parking does not provide you or your visitors with anything new or unique. There are literally thousands of identical parked pages on the Internet right now. Additionally, there is no content on your webpage for the search engines to follow or for visitors to read. The problem with the fact that your webpage doesn’t attract visitors or search engines is that those that do come only come once, and never return because the webpage doesn’t have anything to offer them.

If you are in this situation you need to change things up in order to find a better solution to your current problem. When you visit www.whypark.com you’ll find that you can change your website so that it is totally unique and will attract both people and search engines who will return again and again. WhyPark.com breathes life into old, dull, and boring webpages that have never attracted more than a few lost web surfers. WhyPark will provide your website with fresh, relevant content that is directed toward your target audience. Because you get to choose the keywords, you know that you’ll always have the best information as well as real content that is attractive to both the average web surfer as well as the very important search engines that will help bring you more traffic. Because you have great content, new and old visitors will return again and again because your content is ever changing and reliable.

Keyword rich content, keyword rich titles, and easy to follow index pages will make your website a favorite of search engines. This means that you will have more traffic, that you will rank higher with search engines, and you will simply be more visible, which is great for any webpage. You won’t have to worry about duplicate content or content that doesn’t make sense, this is the real deal, and it’s easy, affordable, and will pay off immediately as you see your websites rise through the ranks in a matter of days. Your website doesn’t have to continue to attract dust from non-use; it can become very popular very quickly with the help of www.whypark.com.

A good domain name can be like prime real estate; the most valuable ones — the ones with easy name recognition — may already be taken. With a bit of creative brainstorming, anyone can come up with a good, memorable, available name. Here are three tips to get you started.

====> 1. MAKE IT EASY FOR CUSTOMERS TO FIND AND REMEMBER.

o Can they say it?

o Can they spell it?

o Can they remember it?

o Shorter is better.

o Focus on names that end in .com and .net (and .org if you’re a non-profit)all the other endings are useless.

o Be careful about punctuation and numbers: BlueToo, Blue2, BlueTwo, BlueTo, BlooToo, and Blue-Two all sound the same to the customer.

o Register common misspellings of your domain name.

Can’t think of a good name that isn’t already taken? Try this domain name suggestion tool: http://www.nameboy.com

====> 2. MAKE SURE YOU OWN IT.

I regularly talk to small business owners and even larger companies who are suprised to find out they don’t own the domain name where their own web site is located. Check “WhoIs” (http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/ or http://whois.opensrs.net) and see who is listed as the owner of your domain name(s). You should be listed as the owner, not your web site designer (although it’s fine if they’re listed as a technical or administrative contact). If your web designer registered your domain name on your behalf, get this resolved right away. Make sure:

o you own your own domain name;

o your contact information is correct and current; and

o you have the current login and password to your domain name registry.

====> 3. GET IT CHEAP.

o GoDaddy (http://www.godaddy.com) offers names as low as $8.95 per name, per year.

o 000domains.com (http://www.000domains.com) — the company I use — offers names for $13.50 per year.

Registering a domain name with malicious intent or in bad faith is popularly called Cybersquatting in WWW. This is usually done for monetary reasons whereby one books a domain similar to a registered trademark or copyright of any known company and then tries to sell it to the concerned company at an exorbitant price.

For example, if one registers a domain nike.net and then attempts to sell it back to Nike, it is cybersquatting. It will be in addition a violation of law if he/she puts up a website on nike.net describing Nike products and services in bad taste. On the other hand, if someone own a company trademark like Nike Foods and host a food website on nike.net, there is no cybersquatting or violation of law. So, it is the intention and not just the name which amounts to cybersquatting.

Cybersquatting was made illegal by the passage of a federal law in 1999 known as the Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act. The law became necessary because numerous large companies were forced to pay large sums to buy their domain names from third parties. These companies included such notables as Panasonic, Fry’s Electronics, Hertz and Avon.

Cybersquatting is quite common specially against the popular brands but most of the time, the victim company doesn’t know about it. How do you know if a company is a victim of cybersquatting? Type in a name that is a trademark or copyright like Sakshay preceded by “www” and following by “.com”, “.net” or “.org”. If you get a valid web site which looks like it is related in some way to the domain name, then there is no cybersquatting in effect (although this could be a simple trademark violation). However, if you get one of the following results, then this could be a cybersquatter.

- Can’t find server

- under construction

- page with no relationship to domain name

Of course there could be a reasonable explanation for each of these results, so they do not always mean there is cybersquatting occurring. It’s a good idea to contact the domain name owner before taking any legal action to find out what’s going on.

Since there can be many reasons both in favor and against cybersquatting in any specific case, how can one prove someone is cybersquatting?

- The domain name registrants intention was to profit from your domain name in bad faith

- Your trademark was in effect and widely known at the time the domain name was registered

- The domain name is identical to your trademark

- And you have actually registered the trademark

How do you know there is a bad faith intent? Well, there is probably no bad faith intent if one of the following is true:

- domain name is the same as the person’s name or nickname or company providing services or products in different domain.

- They are actually selling or intend on selling something on their web site
- They have registered the domain prior to your trademark registration and have been using the domain name for some purpose or other.

- Does the web site owner actually have a legitimate use of the domain name? This would be, for example, true for a company named “Nike Foods”. They would have a legitimate reason for owning the “Nike” domain name.

Some clues that cybersquatting is occurring include:

- The domain name owner has put up a web site which in some way harms your company. For example, if you had somehow purchased “TATA.ORG” and created a web site about how inferior are TATA products, you are cybersquatting.

- If the domain name owner never legitimately used the domain name and simply offered to sell it to you, he is cybersquatting. If a person buys up a lot of names and has sold them over and over, there is a pattern of cybersquatting.

- If the domain name is the same as a very famous trademark, then it has a greater likelihood of being considered cybersquatting.

What can happen if someone is found guilty of cybersquatting is they can be ordered to hand over the domain name. In addition, if the domain was purchased after 1999, they can be ordered to pay monetary damages.

Do you need a domain name for your business? Here are just
a few ways of purchasing one.

1. Think Up and Register Your Own Original Domain Name

Think up your own original name and register it at a domain
name registrar. Although this seems obvious, many people
feel that all the good domain names are already taken.

It is true that it won’t be easy to come up with a suitable
name that has not already been registered. However, with
some careful thought, you may come up with your own original
domain name.

For example, I once was going to buy a certain domain name
but someone else beat me to it. Upon reflection, I came up
with a comparable (if not better) domain name myself and
simply registered it.

2. Buy Already Expired Domain Names

Sometimes you can find the domain name you want from a list
of already expired domain names. (I did!)

Visit whois.net (or a similar site) to “Search through
deleted domains” by keyword.

This way you pay no commission (just the nominal domain
name registration fee) as you are simply registering a
“new” domain name.

3. Buy Domain Names on eBay

Another source of domain names is eBay. Look under both of
these categories:

• Computers & Networking: Other Hardware & Services:
  Domain Names; and
• Business & Industrial: Websites & Businesses For Sale:
  Internet Businesses, Websites.

4. Approach the Domain Name Registrant

Perhaps the name you want has already been registered by
someone else. Why not approach the domain name owner and
make an offer? The owner’s contact information may be
available on their website or from the domain name
registrar.

5. Search the Internet

Visit domain name brokers, for sale and classified sites,
forums, newsgroups, expiring domain names websites, search
engines, auction sites, and other websites to find your
domain name.

These, then, are just a few suggestions on where to buy
your domain names.

This is actually an important key to your business and sometimes its success. I will explain why through-out this article.

Firstly when choosing a domain name you can use letters, numbers or hyphens however you can’t use hyphens at the beginning nor the end of your URL. You can use up to 67 characters.

Choosing a smaller domain name will help your website be more easily remembered for repeat vistors (who don’t bookmark your website but wish to return). Problem is most of the smaller domain names are taken these days.

Choosing a name that is relevant and rich in keywords for your product or service will enhance your chances of being found in the search engines. From my knowledge using hyphens can actually give you a better position for example, if you are selling horse shoes you might choose a domain name that looks like this: www.horse-shoes.com

Some of my websites are found by someone typing this as a keyword www.horse (example only) and that’s all they type. If you type that into google you’ll see that all domain names that start with www.horse are brought up first!

You may also want to consider buying the domain names such as if you wanted www.horse-shoes.com also buy www.horse-shoes.org and .biz and .us… This can help ensure that someone doesn’t take any business from you simply by buying your name and replacing the .org .net .us .biz etc.

If you have an already establish a company name and already well known then you would want to obviously choose that as your domain name.
