3-Pointer Feb 1 – Recreation
3-Pointer Feb 1

Point 1: Rudy T steps down
Let me get this straight. Rudy T, whose Lakers right now are still maintaining 7th place in the conference...WITHOUT their star player....says he is stepping down on Tuesday for both health reasons and dissatisfaction with the Lakers performance This two-time NBA championship team head coach, in the first year of a five year 30 million dollar deal, who has earned the respect and love of his players needs to retire only halfway through the first season because of a tummy ache Read between the lines people. While Kobe is out with an injury, he is not actually out of the picture. Here is a man that is really running the Lakers and everyone knows it. He most likely was doing that on the court during game time and off the court in terms of being a general manager. Rudy, as long as he kept his smile on, was probably allowed to run the practices and develop a Kobe playbook. With Kobe on the sidelines, Rudy most likely had enough of Kobe intruding himself on what little areas he still actually had control. Folks, tummy pains are in indication of stress in the workplace. Kobe Bryant is an indication of a stress induced. Sure, we were going to give Kobe another chance, but Rudy Tomjanovich smells way to fishy. In fact, it just plain stinks.
Point 2: Sam Mitchell on Point with Alston
The Raptors are looking for the heir apparent to Vince Carters legacy. Looks like the may have found him...at least the dark version...in Rafer Alston. We love the fact that Mitchell is intent on running the Raptors his way. From taken out Jalen Rose from the starting line up, to benching Alston for his conduct on the court and in practice, Mitchell is showing he is all about business. A lot of coaches in the professional level have a lot of difficulty trying to manage a group of players that all make substantially more money than them. It is a known fact in the corporate world that you always pay employees more than what their direct reports are paid. A certain amount of respect is gained when your job has a higher paid. It is one of the reasons why some men would hate their wives making more money than them. Sam is not letting himself be intimidated by the players, regardless of status. From established superstars Vince Carter, to role player veterans Jalen Rose, to emerging stars Alston and Bosh, Sam Mitchell is making the Raptors his own. Hopefully he will continue to be supported by the GM and above, as the Raptors will struggle through mediocrity for the next few years.
3-Pointer: Melo aint no snitch!
But he sure can turn tricks! Thats right, your boy Carmelo Anthony, has decided to help police in a new anti-drug campaign after he was seen in an Anti-Snitch DVD. The DVD has been in active circulation since November of 2004. No date as to when it was created, although it appears to have been done recently, and while Anthony was a Denver Nugget. While Carmelo does not actually have a speaking role in the video, he is seen right next to a man that warns viewers that they will "get a hole in" their heads if they are found snitching to police for any illegal activities that may be happening in the area. Carmelo Anthony is from the Baltimore area, where the tape has been circulation, and where recent threats have been made against people that have been known as having snitched to police in the past. You should remember that Carmelo recently had "one of his boys" take the fall for dope found in his backpack after a party.

Making a web page is a simple job that can be done in minutes by anyone with no previous experience, so I will refrain from going in that direction as much as possible. The first thing an inexperienced webmaster should learn is search engine optimization, before ever making a page. The reason for this is simply because if they learn it after the page is made, it will cause them too much extra work that could have been avoided.
Keywords are the basis of all optimization, and all pages should be named for at least one keyword the webmaster expects people to use when trying to find their page. If your last name is Dupuie and you want relatives to find your family reunion website, then Dupuie will definitely be a part of the page name. If each page is about a different relative then their first name can serve the twofold purpose of helping in the search engine optimization SEO and making it easier to find the page on your hard-drive at home, if you are using a page builder such as Microsoft Front Page. Finding a particular page can be difficult when searching for a particular page to change a picture or just fixing a link.

How to Dominate Google Adwords from Day 1
Anik Singal
Whether youre promoting an affiliate program or your own product, using pay per click traffic is almost necessary.
Wait, let me re-phrase that - pay per click traffic is almost necessary to TEST. Lets be frank, this form of traffic does NOT work for all niches and businesses.
Also, succeeding with pay per click traffic is not as easy as just putting up an ad and sending traffic to your main site.
There are lots of elements involved such as your ad, your competition, the landing page, and how much youre paying.
Obviously, to discuss all these elements, wed need to write a book - however, this particular article is going to make you an expert on how to pay less than all your competition and out rank them at the same time.
Google has a unique system of ranking their ads that allows you to be on the top even if youre paying the least per click.
How
Just make sure you have the highest click-through rate on your ad...
There are two main things you need to do to make sure you can get to the top while paying the least.
1. Have a killer start - dont be cheap, spend the most in the beginning.
2. Consistently test your ads to improve your click through rate.
#1 - Killer Start
One of the biggest mistakes people make when they launch a PPC campaign is that they get cheap in the beginning and try to start slow.
Thats all wrong.
You need to spend the most in the beginning. Go in with a bang...here are two reasons why.
1. If the strategy just isnt going to work, find out early and get out - dont waste precious time.
2. More importantly, spend the most on PER click in the beginning. Why
If you spend the most on "per click" in the beginning, thats the only way you can convince Google to put you on the top. You have no click through record, so you have to make up for that by spending more.
By spending the most in the beginning, youll get your ad on the front page and get quick exposure.
This way youll quickly build up your click-through record and can immediately start decreasing your "cost per click" without losing your spot.
Now, if you had started with a low cost per click, youd end up on some page far down, never really get any exposure and could potentially take weeks/months
before you build up any kind of click through rate.
So, first lesson, start fast - go in with a higher "per-click" budget. Get in strong and youll see the best results.
#2 - Test, Test!
The next best way to increase your ad rankings and decrease your "per-click" costs is to always test new ads.
Google allows you to run two ads at the same time for the same keywords, they will automatically rotate your ads, one after the other.
This way you can slowly tweak the headlines, the ad, the domain name - everything and find what works best.
Always do this and youll slowly see your click through rates increase - as your click through rises, you can decrease your "cost per click" without losing your spot in the ad.
So, bottom line, even if youre in a niche with a lot of competition - you can still dominate.
Go in strong, try to get your ad some quick exposure to build a clickthrough rate fast. Then, quickly start decreasing your per click costs.
Just a quick word of caution, if you use this strategy, make sure to actively monitor your adwords account. ALSO, make sure you set your daily limit to something you can afford losing.
Youd be surprised how quickly Google can eat up your mo*ney!
Alright, now youre equipped with some advanced tips on how to quickly take over a niche in Google.
