Does Age Matter? Correcting Your Vision With LASIK Eye Surgery


It's true that LASIK can eliminate a person's dependency on eyeglasses and contact lenses. It can correct a variety of refractive errors, such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. However, LASIK surgery is not for everyone. There are certain conditions that might preclude LASIK in case of a particular patient. Age is one such factor taken into account when determining whether a patient is a viable LASIK candidate or not.

It is a known fact that people experience a constant change in vision throughout adolescence and sometimes well until the mid to late 20s. That is, the refraction stabilizes typically around the age of 18. For myopic people, the benchmark is somewhere between the mid to late 20s. Undergoing LASIK prior to that age is nothing but a futile attempt to achieve enhanced visual acuity, since the patient will nevertheless require another surgery when the prescription stabilizes.

A preoperative examination conducted prior to the age of 18 might result in incorrect measurements, and consequently, an appropriate correction via LASIK. Patients suffering from a higher degree of myopia or astigmatism should defer the surgery a wee bit longer than others ? normally until the age of 21 or so. In essence, you must have had a stable prescription for at least two years, and then only you should plan to undergo LASIK surgery. If you wish to go for custom LASIK, the minimum age is the same as that for conventional LASIK.

There is no upper age limit for LASIK surgery. Even a 50 or 60 year old person may opt for LASIK. The point is that LASIK can very well correct the refractive error of a myopic patient at any stage of the patient's life, provided the patient's eyes are otherwise healthy. That is, LASIK will impart clear distant vision to any person irrespective of the age. However, age related deterioration of the vision may still occur. For instance, almost every person suffers from presbyopia (or short arm syndrome) beyond the age of 40. Presbyopia entails the loss of accommodation power of the lens. Hence, people typically require reading glasses after the age of 40.

Nine Important Questions To Ask Your Eye Surgeon


Generally speaking, LASIK is a safe and efficacious refractive surgery procedure and the choice of millions. With the technologically advanced and sophisticated equipment at its disposal, LASIK is safer than ever. But, it's a surgical procedure all the same. And the success of any surgical technique depends as much on the equipment as it does on the finesse of the surgeon.

Thus it is imperative that you ensure that your chosen surgeon is an expert in the field with loads of experience. You could ask the surgeon the following list of rather tough questions that would help you glean the much needed information about the surgeon's efficacy ? look out for the responses we suggest you should hear.

1. How long have you been performing LASIK surgery? ? Not less than 3 years.

2. How many total procedures have you accomplished? ? At least 500.

3. How many LASIK procedures have you performed, which match the exact condition as mine? ? At least 100

4. What percent of your LASIK patients attain Snellen Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA) of 20/40 or better? ? 90% is the norm. Anything higher than that must be questioned for proof.

04. Basik Lasik: Tips on Lasik Eye Surgery

5. What percent of your LASIK patients attain Snellen UCVA of 20/20 or better? ? Around 50% is the standard. If you have high diopters of myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, expect the chances of 20/20 vision to be lower than the standard.

6. What percent of your LASIK patients suffer from LASIK complications even six months after surgery? ? Less than 3% is plausible. If the surgeon asserts that the complication rate is a zilch, don't consider the surgeon to be credible and move over for a second opinion.

7. What percent of your LASIK patients have had enhancement surgeries? Ask the reason why the surgeon carried out such enhancements ? Less than 10% is viable but the main concern is the reason for enhancement rather than the mere percentage.

8. Have you ever had your license to perform LASIK surgery being revoked or suspended? ? The answer should be a definite NO.

9. How often will you perform postoperative examinations? ? Regular checkups up to six months after surgery would typically suffice.

There are a host of other questions that you may ask your LASIK surgeon. However, the ones listed above would be sufficient to judge a surgeon's efficacy in the field.

Spyware is quickly becoming a major threat to Internet security. It is reported that 9 out of 10 computers are currently infected with spyware, adware or both. Most people don't even realize it's there because spyware and adware is programmed to run silently. Microsoft estimates that spyware is responsible for 50% of all PC crashes.

12829  THE TECHNO CLUB [ TECHNOWORLDINC.COM ] / Online Jobs / Are You The Next Super Adsense Earner? on: February 22, 2007, 09:55:05 PM
Are You The Next "Super Adsense Earner?"


The other day we discussed on the 3 basic yet important traits of ?Super? Adsense Earner ought to have before reaching the mega buck stage. By examining that group of super achievers for Adsense, we also discovered that they do utilize and planned out their strategy before hand, and improve it continuously.

These highly effective groups of professionals have systematic strategy in place that creates a network of sites for them. They would even go to the extend of outsourcing and automating majority of the little yet tedious tasks such as blogging, mass web page building?etc.

Oh yeah, not forgetting in the area of ?Keyword? mining too. Often, they also don't look at the lowly paid keywords. Instead they would target their attention on higher paying keywords so that the investment return on their time and investment is well maximized.

For us the ordinary layman, we would not be able to follow everything single things these ?Elite? AdSense earners would do. But that's not the end for us too; we too can roll out some of the strategies in building up our income generating sites. Let's see what the areas that we could (or at least) do to help ourselves:-

1. Tap on latest tools or software available online.

A lot of people have the thinking that those ?Elite? Adsense earners are from MARS!! No way buddies, they are of no smarter than us the layman or average person. To me own surprise too, they are just another guy next door, doing normal things like you and me.

But?.they are much smarter than us in one strategy, they truly utilized the latest tools or software available. They tap it to automate most of the very tedious tasks involved in building up their network of sites. They researched on the latest and best keyword, website creation tactic, and SE Optimization tools available to help themselves. These tools they are using are their ?Secret Weapons?. Hey, everyone has their own ?secret weapon?, find the one that best suit your strategy and utilize it.

2. Let go Fancy Feature

More often than not, people tend to try creates some fancy feature or graphic. Don't do that. Please keep your sites as easy and simple in navigation process. When visitors come to your site, your main objective is to get them to navigate and reach the ads. Don't let the fancy graphics distract their attention.

Well, of course you can integrate those fancy features in your site, if you are just building the AdSense websites for fun or to impress others. Keep in mind that the primary purpose of building this type of Adsense site is to have visitors' attention on the ads, and finally click on the ads, right?

If your primary objective is generating income thru Adsense, then please keep your site layout as simple as possible. Forget about the colorful banners, fancy scrolling features?etc. Those are simple distraction to your valuable visitors.

But, I am not saying that you just simply put up a blank page filled with Adsense ads only. Don't get me wrong either. You still need to have those basic functions of a proper running website. Those are the basic features that a properly managed website ought to have.

3. Zoom In Your Own Niche Area.

Nobody could be expert in everything. So, choose your own area and concentrate on that. Of course, you may choose a broader subject or general topic as your main theme. Then, break it down to small little sub area. Example, some like to cook, so maybe we could target on cooking as general topic. Then the sub areas could well be Italian style, French, Scottish, Spicy Thailand Food, Japanese Sushi?etc. Break it down to many sub area as you could think of.

In this way, not only you could build hundreds of web pages or sites surrounding one key theme and yet able to be focused on it. In long term, this strategy could help to you're your burden in trying to find topics for your websites.

After you feel that you had explored all possible sub area for the main key topic, move on to build another main theme. Keep repeating this process. Don't keep yourself stuck at the same site unless there is a major flaw that needs to be rectified as soon. Treat it as a completed project that only need periodic review. Move on to build your network.

4. Quit chasing the Mega Dollar keywords.

Please buddies, you cannot and would not be able to compete with those SE experts who could create highly optimized websites aiming for the $100 payout keywords. Yes, you may get lucky once awhile but not in the long run. Not to waste your valuable sweat and tear, you would be better off concentrating on building websites for keywords with lower or mid-range payout.

For these lower and mid-range payouts keywords, the competition should be much lesser than those of extreme high range. Over the long term, your chance of success with Google Adsense would be much higher.

So, what do you think my valuable readers? Starts to do some researches and decides on your own targeted area. Utilize all the best tools available and pick the one the best suite you.

And finally, treat it like you loved one, your lovable business that is. You will reach your goal thru it if you stay focused and consistent. Remember the old saying, ?Rome is not built in one day?.

Get Your Business listed in Biz Network Directory for business leads. Network sites consist Web Resources Search and Business Info Center are also business platforms.

What to Do if Google Wrongly Bans You from AdSense


AdSense is a fantastic product that has provided many webmasters with a decent income. Some webmasters have even become millionaires on AdSense income alone.

It is understandable that Google are very strict when it comes to fraud. Webmasters who click on their own ads aren't stealing from Google they're stealing from the advertiser who has placed the ad with Google. If Google weren't hot on finding and banning fraudsters their AdWord customer base would diminish as advertisers lost all faith in the scheme and choose another online advertising strategy.

Sometimes however Google gets it wrong and ban someone from their scheme who is innocent. Once Google ban you from AdSense it is notoriously difficult to prove your innocence and get accepted back onto the scheme.

It may be difficult but it's not impossible.

How do I know this?
Well I was banned incorrectly by Google from AdSense and managed to prove my innocence, get reinstated and have been earning decent AdSense money ever since. If you find yourself in the same position hopefully reading my story will help you get re-instated on the AdSense programme.

06. Google AdSense Review: Strengths, Problems And Weaknesses

OK lets start at the beginning. I'd built my first website and applied for AdSense. I didn't hear anything for three weeks so I asked them if I could have an update via the Google website. Within 48 hours they sent the following reply.

Hello Paul Middleton,

Your AdSense account was found to be related to an account previously disabled for invalid click activity and we have therefore disabled your account. Publishers disabled for invalid click activity are not allowed further participation in AdSense and do not receive any further payment. The earnings on your account will be properly returned to the affected advertisers.

As outlined in our programme Terms and Conditions, Google reserves the right to terminate any publisher's participation at any time.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Well I can assure you I was surprised and a bit upset. I'd never had an AdSense account in my life so how could my account be related to anything let alone an account previously disabled for invalid click activity!

I was at a loss. What could I do? I knew I was innocent but Google obviously thought otherwise. Google don't provide a phone support line so I had no one to ask.

I trawled the AdSense forums for answers and various theories were given some seemed a bit far-fetched but one stuck a chord. ?Possibly the previous owner of your domain was guilty of click fraud and now your domain is blacklisted'. This made some sense as I'd only purchased the domain a few weeks earlier. This had to be it.

I then thought of a reply that would go some way to proving my innocence and ended up sending the following.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the reply.

I have never had an active AdSense account so it can not have been me that had the 'invalid click activity'.

My only thought is that a previous owner of the domain makingonlinemoney.com had their account disabled for this??

Please see the whois data below which shows that I have only owned the domain since May this year. The domain was available and I have no idea who owned it before me. I can get godaddy.com to confirm this if required.

I am keen to try the AdSense programme and can assure you I will fully respect your Terms and Conditions and programme policies if accepted onto your scheme.

I would ask therefore that you enable the account if my site meets your criteria.

If you have any further questions regarding my ownership of the makingonlinemoney.com domain please let me know. As I said I will be happy to get further confirmation from godaddy.com if required.

Thanks & Rgds, Paul.

I didn't get a reply for a week so I resent the above email. The next day I got the following from Google.

Re: Disapproved application.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your email.

We apologise if the prior disapproval of your application was made in error.

We've now reviewed and approved your application. Please check for a separate application approval email for your records. The approval email also includes detailed instructions on how to access your new account and get started.

Great!! I was in and able to start making money with the AdSense scheme.

So what is my advice to people who get banned from AdSense incorrectly?

I have four points of advice for anyone unfortunate enough to be in the same position as me.

1. Be patient. ? AdSense is constantly growing in terms of participants and the AdSense team gets thousands of requests a day regarding their scheme. Don't be to upset if you don't hear back from them in 48 hours. If a week has passed since your communication resend.

2. Be polite! ? Quite often I hear of people banned from AdSense who go in with all guns blazing. I can understand that people are angry and frustrated by being accused of something they didn't do but remember you're dealing with human beings. Human beings don't react positively to being ordered to do something or worse verbally abused. To increase your chances of a positive outcome be firm but polite at all times.

3. Provide evidence to back up your innocence. ? If possible include evidence to help prove your innocence. I included my ?whois' data for my domain to prove I had only owned the domain a few weeks. I also offered to provide any further information they required.

4. Never give up! If you're innocent don't give up. If after emailing them several times using the above techniques you don't get anywhere find the details of Google's head office for your area (use Google!) give them a call and ask to speak to the AdSense team. Write letters offer to meet them in person.

If you've been banned from AdSense and it was your fault the above technique won't work. There is however a common sense of getting back in to the scheme that has worked in the past for people caught cheating. That's another article though.

Paul Middleton is a successful Internet entrepreneur. He shares some of his secrets on his website http://www.makingonlinemoney.com where he includes details of how to make money from AdSense.

SEO Tips to get listed on top, faster


You must get indexed by the search engines, most offer a method to submit your site, however its FAR better to simply get a linkback from another website. Let them find you naturally.
 
Keep the text between the title tags under 50 chrs - This will help you get the most out of your keywords
 
Avoid using dynamic URLs (eg: http://www.example.com/index.php?id=123) use static looking links instead (eg: http://www.example.com/example-articles.html) -- Also avoid PHP session IDs and unnessisary variables.
 
Register your domains for longer than a year - spammers usually only buy domains for 1 or 2 years.
 
Larger, older sites are better.
 
In search engines "the-word" usually registers as "the word", so where possible use - (dash) instead of _ (underscore) in your URLs
 
Choose a domain that will be most relivant to you, either your name (product, company, business, etc) or descriptive (eg: search-engine-optimisation-example.com)

Dashes in URL (eg: http://www.search-engine-optimisation-example.com/the-home-page.html) -- stick to no more than 4 in a URL
 
Keep your URLs short, less than 100 chrs is best.
 
Unique description meta tags per page - less than 200 chrs, although search engines don't rely on this, it is often displayed
 
Unique keyword meta tags per page - less than 10 words, the keywords must appear on the body text of the page, no repeats
 
Make use of the header tags (H1, H2, H3) these will help idenify what the page is and push your page further to the top
 
Place your keywords in your body text near the top, try and use b (bold), strong (bold) or em (italics) on them.
 
By internet standards all images must have alt text - Describe the image using short relivant text.
 
Use keywords for your link anchor text instead of using "click here" or such.
 
External links per page should be a limited to 100 where possible.
 
Choose your domain name TLD extention carefully, .edu and .org appear to get higher status than .com due to spam.
 
Size of pages should not be larger than 100K, its prefered that you have lots of smaller pages.
 
Search engines like updated pages, such as news pages, it also like additional pages, make sure you also keep your old static pages.
 
Site consistancy -- althought its not proven to be a factor of SEO, it does help usability.
 
Search engines like blog sites as they bare lots of content and many external links, showing trends
 
Use text instead of images where possible. If you have to use images, use alt text. - Search engines don't read text on images.
 
Get listed in directories such as DMOZ and Yahoo, avoid link farms and FFAs.
 
Avoid using meta redirect to redirect users to other pages.
 
Avoid excessive cross-linking to sites hosted on the same IP range (C class).
 
DO NOT copy your content. Not only does this violate copyright laws, search engines penalise you.
 
Search engines find it difficult to get relivant text from Flash if any at all, avoid contructing your page with flash, unless its for presentational purposes.
 
Search engines don't follow links in forms, image mapping, javascript links, frames, very well, if not, not at all.
 
Avoid putting your email address in text form on a page, as this will appear in search engines and generate unwanted emails
 
Avoid any "black hat" SEO methods, they don't work in the long run, stick at the real methods and you'll get far better results than risk your site getting banned.
 
Use correct HTML markup where possible, although this doesn't make much of a difference to the search engines, it will help you avoid other problems.
 
Don't use gateway pages or intro pages, they are useless and tend to disappear from search engines, not only that but the main page gets pushed down. -- This is also bad for usability as visitors aren't interested in your gateway, just your website.
 
Try and get as many backlinks from as many relivant websites as possible. Avoid bad sites. -- Anchor text on your links is important here, make sure you use a relivant keyword.
 
Try and get people to stay on your site, avoid annoying the user and provide them with reasons to stick around.
 
Suggest the user bookmarks your page or create pages that would be bookmark worthy.
 
Use a stable web server, there is nothing worse than having your site down.

10 Things You Must Do for That Successful Interview

By Teena Rose, Resume to Referral, www.resumebycprw.com

You've worked hard to get here. You've sent out 31 resumes, networked, attended job fairs, enrolled in school for more education ? you've taken all the right steps.

Then, one afternoon the phone rings. ?Yes, we'd like you to come in for an interview. Is next Tuesday at 10:00 alright with you?? Alright???!!! You can be there in 10 minutes! But you gather your composure, pretend to rifle through your ?appointment book? and calmly reply, ?Yes, Tuesday at 10:00 works for me. See you then.? Now what?

The sequence goes like this: the resume gets you an interview; the interview gets you the job. This is when you become more than a bunch of employment dates and workplace accomplishments. This is your opportunity to shine. It's show time!

Go in cold and you're working at a disadvantage. You prepped the perfect resume, now it's time to prep for that all-important interview. Here are ten steps you should take before you show up at the interviewer's door.


1. Review your resume.
Sure, you know it by heart. But what was it that caught the eye of this recruiter or the HR pro? Specialized experience? Unique training? A steady history of career advancement? Revisit your resume from the point of view of the interviewer. It may provide insight into the company's employee needs ? something that would certainly be advantageous to know going in.

08. Job Interviewing Quiz for Job-Seekers


2. Get back on-line.
The Internet served you well in the preparation of personalized cover letters targeted at the recipients' needs. Okay, visit the company web site again and start taking notes. Corporate officers, the latest press releases, the company's annual report. Gather as much information as you can on your soon-to-be-employer.

3. Study, study, then cram.
The more you learn about your callback company, the better you're going to feel walking in that door. Knowledge is power. Knowledge will make you more confident in your attitude and your answers. You know this stuff. You've studied it! Knowledge of company products, services, protocols and procedures shows the interviewer that you're proactive, with an eye for detail and an appreciation for the power of preparation. In other words, you'll make a positive impression.

4. Rehearse your interview.
How can you rehearse for something that doesn't have a script? Write one. You know the typical questions you'll be asked so write down some of your most insightful, witty thoughts regarding the state of your industry and profession. Be prepared to describe past positions, responsibilities and accomplishments. This is not a time for false modesty, so don't be afraid to highlight your professional strengths and play down your terrible typing skills. Remember: it's no brag if it's the truth. Ask your spouse, your child or a friend to play the role of interviewer so you become more comfortable speaking about yourself in front of others. Again, this is a confidence builder. The more you practice, the more confident you'll be.

5. Develop your list of questions.
Your interview shouldn't be seen as some type of interrogation. It's a ?getting to know you? meeting, so feel free to ask questions. However, your first question shouldn't be ?How much do I get paid?? or ?How's the 401k plan, here?? Instead, ask questions that show you understand the job and the company's needs. Be quick to pick up on the interviewer's comments and ask relevant questions.

Interviewer: We've had some issues with field reports coming in late recently.
You: How are the reports transmitted?
(Oh, you're good. Very good.)

6. Dress for success.
An interview is a performance with people playing different roles. Your role is successful job prospect. Play the part. Whether you're female or male, the conservative business suit is the recommended attire for any interview. If your business suit needs a pressing, send it to the dry cleaners. If you don't own a suit (you'd be surprised at the number of us who don't) go out and get one. It doesn't have to be an $800 designer suit, but it should be conservative black, blue or gray.

7. Get cut or coiffed.
You'll have 15 minutes to make a good impression. Treat yourself to a visit to the local hair stylist. You bet looks matter. They'll be plenty of time to show your talent once you land the job. For now, look like a success, feel like a success ? be a success.

8. Practice positive visualization.
Professional athletes do it. So do actors, yoga instructors and new age thinkers who sleep under makeshift pyramids to absorb that mystical energy. It's called positive visualization ? and it works. It really does. In the days leading up to the interview, picture yourself sitting opposite the head of HR. Picture yourself relaxed, comfortable, at the top of your game. Play that clip over and over in your mind until it becomes so familiar, it actually becomes a part of your self-image. It simply can't be stated too often ? your confidence during an interview should be obvious and genuine.

9. Gather your materials.
The day before the interview, gather your materials and place them in a briefcase or attach?. Don't have one? Buy one or borrow one. It's another opportunity to project that professional image you wear so well. Bring extra copies of your resume in a manila envelop. Bring a pad and pencil to take notes. Bring a calculator (you never know). Bring your address book and copies of your business card. If you've been asked to provide additional information (school transcripts, e.g.) make sure you've got clean copies ready to hand over.

10. Sleep tight.
You've done it all. You've prepared yourself; you've built your confidence so you can look the interviewer straight in the eye. You are ready to rock ?n' roll! Okay, too psyched. You'll never get to sleep. The night before the interview, go to bed early. Have some warm milk, coco or herbal tea (stay away from the 3rd scotch). Relax. Set the alarm and sleep comfortably in the knowledge that you're as prepared as you'll ever be. No, not every interview will be a success. You won't get the job every time ? but don't take it personally. It's not about you; it's about the needs of the company. However, you can increase the chances of success by presenting a professional, prepared, and confident you to the interviewer. That's how you turn an interview into a job offer.

 

You're hired!

14 Common Credit Mistakes


Establishing credit and wisely managing your credit becomes easier when you know how. You'll feel empowered by taking knowledgeable steps towards good credit, and you'll be on your way to purchasing real estate and greater financial freedom.

If you plan to finance real estate, either as a home buyer or an investor, avoiding these common credit mistakes will help you with your credit score and save you money in loan costs.

14 Common Credit Mistakes

01. Using expensive or undesirable types of credit costs too much and is negatively scored.

02. Accumulating too many lines of credit or too many credit cards causes credit report remarks like "too much consumer credit."

03. Only paying the minimum due keeps balances too high.

04. Being maxed out on any credit card or line of credit causes deep drops in scores.

05. Taking cash advances costs higher interest and extra fees.

06. Apply For Visa Card

06. Exceeding limit and having to pay over-limit fees is a negative with creditors and causes "high proportional amounts owed" remarks on credit reports and subtracts credit score points.

07. Paying a day or more late causes unnecessary late fees and often increases interest rates.

08. Charging more than you can afford causes a snowball effect of amassing debt with no easy way to pay it off.

09. Letting someone else use your credit, such as co-signing a loan, raises your debt-to-income ratio and possibly adds "too many consumer accounts" on your credit report, which lowers your score.

10. Ignoring credit problems causes unnecessary negative impact. Talk to creditors before being late and make arrangements. This action heads off negative reporting to credit bureaus.

11. Failure to report address changes to creditors causes misplaced bills and late payments.

12. Using partial name, different names, initials instead of whole name, or forgetting Sr. or Jr. causes mix-ups. Use your full legal name to protect you from confusion with similarly named borrowers.

13. Failure to report name changes to creditors also causes confusion.

14. Not checking credit report frequently is one of the most common mistakes consumers make.

You can buy real estate with poor credit, but you will save thousands in loan costs if you maintain good credit. A bad credit report leaves home buyers with sub-prime loans which have higher point charges, prepayment penalties, and higher interest charges, which therefore cost more money.

For instance, a mortgage loan of $150,000, 30-year, fixed interest rate of about 5.72 percent costs around $870 a month. Poor credit scores raise the interest rate over 9 percent and the payments over $1,200.

As you see from these payment differences, good credit means that you can finance a more expensive house with the same income, or save $330 each month.


Credit Requirements for Mortgages

Credit needed to buy real estate is not the same as good credit. Besides your credit score, mortgage lenders consider your debt-to-income ratio and other credit matters, unlike other credit grantors. Your debt-to-income ratio is the comparison of mortgage payment, including taxes, interest, and insurance to your total gross monthly income. Real estate lenders also consider your employment qualifications and your overall debt ratios. Understanding the difference between good credit and the credit needed to obtain real estate financing helps you buy houses!

Avoiding credit mistakes helps you get strong credit and keeps your credit scores up.

Data Recovery - Let Your Hard Drive Cool


There are many reasons for the hard drive failures. Of course, when you lose your data, you think less about the causes of its loss, but more about the data, itself. However, if you were to learn about the cost of the hard drive data recovery, you would rather prevent it, especially, from the most common reason of hard drive damage overheating.

No matter what we do with our computer, storage is an important part of our system. Nowadays, we have been holding more and more information on our PC. Most computer users no longer keep their documents, letters, music, photos, pictures, etc. in hard copies, but store them on different data storage devices, preferentially the most popular one ? the hard drive, counting on it's reliability.

There are many reasons for the hard drive failures. Of course, when you lose your data, you think less about the causes of its loss, but more about the data, itself. However, if you were to learn about the cost of the hard drive data recovery, you would rather prevent it, especially, from the most common reason of hard drive damage ? overheating.

In old drives, the rotating speed was low, so the overheating problem did not exist. However, most recent hard disks, with a speed of 7200-10000 RPM, heat up during their work, and the temperature inside rises up to 70 C and above. Of course, hard drives are now manufactured with internal temperature sensors, computers have fans, coolers, and other gadgets to prevent overheating, and software utilities indicate the temperature of your hard drive. Contemporary hard drive models are able to operate at 50-55 C, but we should point out that the hard drives are more sensitive to high temperatures than any other computer parts. The fact that the hard drives carry your precious data is indeed important, as well as its ultimate loss would be a disaster to you. There are data loss situations when even the most advanced data recovery companies can't guarantee that you will receive you data back.

Why is overheating critical for a hard drive? The best way to understand how a hard disk works is to take a look inside the drive to see the internal work of each part in relation to overheating.

The Platters (magnetic physical media).
The platters (disks) carry the data. They are made from light aluminum or optical glass and ceramic, and are coated with a magnetic layer. When the drive heats up, the platters expand, changing their size and geometry. This destroys the magnetic layer on the surface where the data is stored, and creates defects and micro cracks. Physical damage of the surface leads to the appearance of ?bad? or unreadable sectors.

The Read/Write Heads.
The read/write heads of the hard disk are the interface between the platters on which the data is stored and the electronic components that make up the rest of the hard disk. The heads read from and write data on the platters. The read/write heads do not make contact with the media. This distinguishes hard disk drives from floppy disks, VCRs and tapes. Drive heads float over the surface of the disk without ever physically touching the platters. When the air inside heats up, the distance from the platters to the heads gets smaller, which increases the possibility of a head crash.

The Head Actuator.
The head actuator is a device attached to the heads, and is responsible for their moving around the platters. All modern drives have a voice coil actuator, which controls the position of the head over the correct cylinder. Since overheating is a cause of damage of any parts of the drive, the actuator is not an exception. Therefore, the head actuator failure directly affects the hard drive performance.

Controller Chip.
The circuit board(s) attached to the outside of the HDA (Head Drive Assembly) provides control of the movement of internal parts. Modern models have SM and VCM (Spindle Motor and Voice Coil Motor) controller chip soldered into the board. It is obvious that even a small temperature jump, for example, in the summer time, can lead to the burning of SM and VCM controller chip. Taking into account the importance of your data, you can imagine how unpleasant would be the consequences of such.

We explored the problems that can occur from an overheating hard drive. What is the optimum temperature that will prolong the drive life (and that of your data!) and how to maintain this temperature? Most used 7200 RPM hard drives generate more heat than 5400 RPM drives. Ideally, a hard drive should run under 40 C. If it runs under 50 C it is probably still acceptable. If it keeps working at 60C you will have a problem and if it still keeps working at 70 C you will have a REAL PROBLEM. As we can see, the excessive heat is not tolerated by a hard drive.

What can we do to maximize the hard drive's life?
It is essential that the drive must be properly cooled and ventilated. Even if your system has embedded coolers and fans, additional coolers installed in a way of cooling the hard drive directly, will improve the drive's reliability. Just invest a small amount ($5-$35) in a cooling solution for your hard drive, and you will prevent the computer data recovery issue. There is a bunch of coolers that you can find at the computer stores.

By keeping your drive cool, you do not only increase the hard drive's stability, but also eliminate drive's crashes.

Do You Want to Fire Your Boss?


Yes! You can fire your Boss and make yourself your own Boss!

Promoting or selling other people's stuff on the net can make you earn a comfortable living that will give you confidence to quit from your job! You can do that by joining an affiliate programs.

What is an affiliate program?

Affiliate programs refers also to associate programs, referral program or bounty program. It is the most famous and the best sales and marketing strategy ever used by most of the companies or sellers on the web from small to large-scale companies. This allows "other people or companies" to promote or sell their products or stuff for a commission or other consideration. That "other people or companies" are called "Affiliates" or "Associates" and the owners of the products or services and of the affiliate program are called "Sponsors".

Many affiliates are earning considerable amount of commissions up to more than $10, 000 a month and even hundreds of thousand dollars , through this affiliate scheme. Because of this, most of them stopped working as an employee and focus on affiliate marketing at their own time, own pace, own strategy and most importantly, at home with their families without seeing a face of the annoying BOSS !

03. Affiliate Marketing Tips - how to make money with affiliate programs


How will you earn and receive commission?

As an affiliate, you do not need to maintain a stock of products or services of your own or of your sponsors . You will be only required to promote their stuff, by putting your sponsors' banners or text links on your site pages or by posting ads on other sites or by sending emails to your relatives, friends and acquaintances. Your sponsors will give you an affiliate or tracking code or link. When an interested visitors click the banners or text links with your affiliate code or link from your site or promotion page, they will be directed to your sponsor's website.

The affiliate code or link will be the reference of your sponsor to identify that those visitors came through your referral or from your promotional page. Once those visitors completed transactions that are subject to commissions, your sponsor will credit your account for the equivalent commissions from those transactions. Your commissions will be accumulated and be sent to you by check, wire transfer, direct deposit and by other means based on your affiliate agreement.

There are different ways to earn a commission from affiliate program . You may earn on the basis of pay-per-click, pay-per-lead, pay per sale or through referring another affiliate. In pay-per-click, the affiliate earns commission when a visitor clicks the sponsor's link. In pay-per-lead, the affiliate earns commission when a visitor click the sponsor's links and completed a transaction without buying a product, like completing a inquiry form or survey or quotation form. While on a pay per sale, you will earn a flat rate or a percentage of sales prices. Some of the programs are offering up to 80% commission.

How can you join an affiliate?

Generally, affiliate programs require the applicants to have a working website where you can promote their products. However, some of them will allow you to promote or sell their products through posting ads with ad sites or by emailing people but absolutely no spamming or you will be kicked out.

When joining an affiliate program, you have to check the reliability of its owner. Reliability? Yes, because there are websites that are being managed by opportunists who are offering an affiliate programs but will not report all your earned commissions or worst, they will not pay you. So, beware of them.

What are the affiliate programs that you should join?

To start your journey of firing your Boss or quitting your job, you have to start joining affiliate programs NOW before others do and begin earning THOUSANDS of DOLLARS. I recommend that you start with Google Adsense for content-based and search-based program. Then, join Affiliate Networks to give you a wide variety of choices of products or services to sell or promote.

Each affiliate network offers several affiliate programs of various companies including the makers of the world's famous brands and products. The Network site will record and monitor the commissions that you will earn from various programs and pays you in only one check on a scheduled payment date. That's very convenient as you will be virtually dealing with only one site in promoting programs of various companies.

With hardwork, patience and continuous learning, I am confident that you will be a successful affiliate marketer in the near future. You will be working at home with your family at your own time, at your own pace and with your own strategies? That will be the time that you've fired your BOSS and made yourself your own BOSS!

10 Tips for Accurate Domain Registration

You should think about registering a domain name before you actually do it. Many people come up with a catchy name, or feel the need to lock in their name, and rush out to buy a domain name. But there are several things to consider in your domain name. After all, your domain name is an extension of your business and your image?don't you want to project the right one?

Register your domain and host with us for FREE!!!

These ten tips will help you to pick just the right domain name for you and/or your business.

1. The extension you select makes a statement to user about where you are and who you are aiming to attract. For example, .co.uk tells people you are operating out of the United Kingdom, and .ca tells them you are operating out of Canada. If that is important to you, then register accordingly. If you would rather give them impression of being a global company, or based in the US, then pick a .com name.

2. Use a reputable registration service. Unfortunately, some domain registration services are little more than a scam. They are only middlemen. You tell them the domain name you want, and they register it, for a fee higher than you would pay! In the worst case, they actually register the domain name using their information, so it becomes very difficult for you to do anything with your domain name. Do some background research into the company before you register a domain with them.

3. Use keywords in your domain name. These will sometimes help search engines in ranking your website. For example, if you sell gourmet dog treats online and from your own store, but your business name is "Laura's Homemade Snacks," you might consider two domain names: one for your business name, and one for keywords. In this case you might select "gourmetdogtreats.com" as your domain name to represent to the search engines and searchers what you are about.


4. Short names are easier to spell correctly. What's easier to remember and type in: gourmetdogtreats.com, or laurashomemadeandgourmetdogsnacks.com?

5. Avoid trademarks from other companies. Companies have been known to sue website owners for copyright and trademark infringement, so be very careful if you try to play off an existing business. Make sure that you register a domain name in good faith, and think about the possibilities and connections that might exist between you and another business.

6. Avoid hyphens. Sometimes you must use hyphens because the straightforward name is gone. In that case, a better idea is to come up with a completely different name. The problem with hyphens is that users may end up visiting the wrong site. If you try to register gourmetdogtreats.com but it is already taken, you might choose to register gourmet-dog-treats.com instead. But you run the risk of someone trying to find you typing in the first address. This means you lose business. Better to try and register a name like homemadedogtreats.com instead.

7. Consider buying several different extensions so no one else can infringe on your success by registering a similar name. For example, if you register homemadedogtreats.com, you might also take .net and .org (with the same name), since these are the most popular extensions after .com. That way, no one can register homemadedogtreats.net and try to piggyback of your success.

8. Look for companies that offer telephone support. If you have trouble with your domain name, you need to be able to contact the company and talk to someone. If there is no phone contact, that may be a sign that you are not dealing with a reputable company.

9. Look for accreditations (i.e., ICANN). Reputable companies will seek out accreditations because they know it boosts their business image to be part of a group that enforces good business ethics and practices. Failure to have an accreditation does not necessarily mean the company is bad, but it could mean that. If the company you are looking at does not have an accreditation, make sure you check for other things like phone support, payment procedures, etc.

10. After you find a company you like, do a search on Google for "domain registration." Does your company of choice appear in the first couple of pages of results, or just via Adwords? If the latter, they may not have been around for a long time and may not be reputable. A legitimate company with a solid track record will be ranked in Google's search engine, especially within the first couple of pages. Beware of registration companies that you can only find in Adwords.

These ten tips will help you as you seek to register your domain name.
