As one of the major parts in on-page search engine optimization (SEO),getting indexed by search engines may be hard, tiring, and time consuming, but with these strategies you'll surely get your website (and inner pages)indexed and visible in SERP.
If you read a lot of articles, guides, tutorials and any other materials about basic search engine optimization, getting indexed to search engines is the most important part of SEO after you've created your site and optimized its content. What will you do after you've uploaded those web pages, optimized the content as well as your meta tags? Getting listed in SERPs of course! Here's what learned about indexing web pages: Submitting to Search Engines Many would say that submitting your home page to search engines is just a waste of time. Well, if your trying to submit on all those search engines then you really are just wasting your time.
You can still do this method but my advice is to submit only to what webmasters' call "The Big Three", namely Google, Yahoo and MSN. You can still get your web pages indexed without having to do this method. There are other ways, which I think are much better, that can help you get your site indexed in SERPs. The Power of Social Bookmarking If you haven't heard if Digg.com or StumbleUpon.com then you're way behind in search engine optimization. These are samples of a social bookmarking sites which is similar to the ordinary bookmark tool we have in our web browsers' menu bar. The difference between the ordinary bookmarking and with social bookmarking are: * you can access your bookmarks on any computer you use just by registering an account; * and share your bookmarked sites/links with other members Why Should I Submit to Social Bookmarking Sites?
Here are the reasons I've learned why I submit to social bookmarking sites: 1.For fast indexing - high traffic social bookmarking sites are more frequently visited by search engine spiders. If you submit your site, the higher the chance you have getting indexed. 2.For traffic - people love interesting topics, important news, humor and tutorials. 3.Increase more traffic - posts on Digg, and other social bookmarking sites, also appears in SERPs, giving you a higher chance of visibility! Social Networking Sites Do you like Facebook or Twitter? These are social networking sites where you can submit your links. Isn't that great?! Now the key to the successful use of social networking sites is you got to have lots of friends. Mingle with other members, join different groups, share your profile and be active, don't just login to your account to post a link. This link building technique is very helpful if you use it properly. I find social bookmarking and networking as a part of link building technique that you can both use for work and have fun at the same time. Because you get to meet other webmasters doing link building of their own, you can exchange SEO tips and secrets, and thenormal internet users you can interact with while doing work. And best of all you can even earn extra income by offering link building services to companies/sites that needs help with their search engine rankings.
Sitemaps There are two types of sitemaps we can use, the XML and HTML sitemaps. .XML Sitemap - This sitemap is used to inform search engines of pages that are available for crawling in a website. .HTML Sitemap - This sitemap is for your visitors. It is used as a guide/navigation for visitors who are looking for a specific page, product or service you might be offering. Now, you'll find these search engine optimization techniques quite easy to learn and do. Submitting your site or blog to the big three search engines can take you at least five minutes to do, social bookmarking and networking can be time consuming but it's all worth it, and submitting sitemaps to search engines is a must-do if you want to get all your web pages indexed.

I am an independent contractor and do consulting work for a number of companies at any given time. When the one company submitted the 2016 IRP5 they erroneously categorized my source code as 3601, instead of 3616 for independent contractors, hence I cannot claim costs.

Where was the outrage about the attention paid to these artists?
Well it wasn't coming from me, because I stopped listening to contemporary pop years before their time. Also, where's the "outrage" about Misty Copeland? OK, to be fair, I've seen it on another site. But not here.
But some black critics pointed out the fact that they were paying so much attention to these too artists because they wanted to prove that they actually cared about black musicians while, they proceeded to ignore 99 percent of them.
Prove? Maybe they just didn't like that much black pop of that era. Is that racist? Did black critics like second and third tier white stars? I have a white friend who was so upset when Michael Jackson died that he couldn't go to work the next day, but give me Otis Redding or Miles or Monk or Muddy instead. Or Eric Owens. Appreciating diversity doesn't mean loving everything equally. No one does that, or can – or should have to. Diversity entails accepting diversity of taste too. I think that's the ideal.
Kathleen O'Connell wrote
Copeland didn't need to be subjected to overt racism to perceive that the world she was in wasn't as welcoming as it thought it was.
I certainly understand why a dancer of color would have doubts, and of course you make good points about NYCB casting. I always wished Evans (and Soto) had gotten Apollo. I wish Craig Hall would.
Helene wrote
My charge, in case it wasn't clear in the first place, is that not only did you misrepresent what Martin Luther King, Jr. was saying, but also the context, which was a future, sadly, much farther away, than many had hoped, and his continual fight against racism.
It wasn't clear, but thanks for clarifying. King wanted us to ignore skin color when making judgments. That means not making negative judgments based on skin color, but not making positive ones either. It's only natural and good to want to rise to the defense of African-Americans any time race is part of the conversation, but that doesn't mean African-Americans are always right all the time either. Yes, King's dream is still a long ways off, but I think that natural and good impulse can become counter-productive hypersensitivity.
As far as your general arguments, you've done nothing to convince me that your assertions that the ballet world is overwhelmingly liberal and that the people in it are overwhelming trying to do the right thing, and, as a result, this negates one woman's experience which she's detailed, and, in fact, she has been given preferential treatment because of her race.
I'm shocked we haven't convinced each other and switched positions. I understand your reasons for believing her perception was accurate. I've given mine for why I question them. They could be wrong.
Tapfan
I don't think they were saying these white critics were racist. I think they were implying something far less sinister. They were implying that they were artistically and sociologically myopic.
Black critics were annoyed that white critics could find time to cover the most obscure and marginally talented or relevant white male bands if those bands had an indie cache, but they couldn't be bothered with anyone else.
Some black critics felt that excessive praise of Prince and MJ was being used to mask that fact that some of those guys had a very narrow appreciation of pop music and couldn't be bothered to notice anyone else.
Being a pop music critic that only cares about certain types of pop music, is like being a movie critic who hates certain types of movies. How can they be expected to judge fairly?
Tapfan, I can imagine how I'd feel if no one wrote about the music I like, but everybody knows how much white people love and have loved black music. I have to wonder how many African-Americans, critics included, had an interest in the white bands of Jackson and Prince's day. I was an avid concert and club-goer back then, and except for blues clubs on the (black) South side of Chicago, and to a lesser extent jazz clubs, I remember seeing very few.

Music critics have a tendency to specialize more than dance critics do (more outlets, more material, more information to be responsible for) -- I know a few people who really do cover a wide variety of genres, but they're more exceptional.
its the mom
I found this interesting:

abatt
Thanks. This is interesting. Squires is also ABT's publicity agent. Ever wonder why there are so many photos of Misty and her pals on the internet after an ABT gala? It's because Gilda Squire also represents Misty and makes sure that Misty gets as much publicity as possible. Hopefully ABT is taking note of this lawsuit and evaluating Squire's continued suitability as ABT's publicity agent.
We'll know in about a month whether Misty is going to be represented by the same counsel that represents Squires. I wonder if the legal defense fees for Misty's counsel will be coming out of Misty's pocket or the pocket of the Squire agency. Hopefully someone along the way advised Misty to purchase insurance that would cover this type of claim. With fame comes responsibility (and lawsuits). Misty's contract with Squires may require Squires to defend and indemnfy Misty with respect to any claims related to publicity services provided by Squires.
Squires is also on the advisory board to Project Plie'.
Harpo, Inc, the third defendant, is the one with deep pockets.
That's true, but I suspect Harpo will assert that they broadcast the content that was selected and provided by Squires and Squires, not Harpo, had the duty to vet the material for any copyright viiolations.
These are iconic posters that I and probably hundreds of other bunheads had on their walls in "the day".
ABT Fan
Iconic indeed!
This does not look good for Misty. Getting the Oprah Winfrey network embroiled in a copyright infringement lawsuit is not good politics, although I'm sure there are an abundance of lawsuits against Harpo at any given time on a variety of topics.
vipa
This certainly shows (me at least) what a powerful publicity machine Misty Copeland has behind her.
Yes, but her "team" is supposed to make her look good, not get her mixed up in lawsuits.
I'm sorry to hear about this -- copyright issues have become much more touchy in recent years, especially in television and film production. Morgan Spurlock's recent film about product placement (The Greatest Movie Ever Sold) was a fascinating, if slightly depressing, look at how thoroughly commericalized that aspect of filmmaking has become.
(and tangentially, when I looked up the IMDB link, I noticed that Spurlock was the producer of the television documentary series "A Day in the Life" which included an episode in 2011 about Copeland. It's a tiny world.)
I don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but Copeland will perform at the Vail Festival in 2015 in the International Evenings of Dance, which are typically on Friday and Saturday nights: http://www.vvf.org/arts/vail-international-dance-festival
Damian Woetzel, of course, is the artistic director and has made some imaginative programming decisions in recent years, but this is a little puzzling. The summer residents in Vail tend to be very white and very rich, so perhaps there is a curiosity factor for them. The underprivileged communities that apparently flock to her NYC performances don't live there. The drive from Denver is truly miserable and public transportation is awful -- no train service, spotty Greyhound bus. Hotels - essential for Vail evening performances - are no bargain. So it will be interesting to see what kind of outreach they do to bring in nontraditional audiences and whether she will do some complementary events in Vail or Denver.

I didn't realize being "very white and very rich" would prevent anyone from attending a dance program with minority dancers. I also didn't realize that Misty's fans in NYC were "underprivileged." I mean, how would you know simply by attending a performance with a large group of her fans?
My apologies. I don't mean to offend anyone. But if you look at the overall marketing, the book signings, the lecture-demos, the fan pages, etc., you get a sense of the principal demographics she's aiming at. Of course white, rich people can attend and enjoy dance programs with minority dancers. I certainly didn't say they were "prevented" from attending anything. And perhaps Woetzel is capitalizing on the extensive press she's had and will benefit from a curiosity factor for those who haven't seen her perform in NYC or on tour.
Yeah but why would "very white and very rich" people necessarily be less interested in a well-known dance festival simply because there was a minority dancer?
Excuse me, but that's not what I said! Indeed, because of the extensive press she's had in recent years, they might be more likely to attend. As I said, Woetzel might be capitalizing on that public attention.

You said it was "puzzling" that Woetzel would invite Copeland considering the "very white and very rich" Vail residents, but then chalked it up to"curiosity factor"? This isn't like that scene from Show Boat at the St. Louis World Fair where a gaggle of folks look at the "curiosity" African warriors.
Along with the announcement of the Vail performances, it would be nice to see them announce some community outreach performances in the huge communities in Denver who have never seen her perform and otherwise never will -- the people who populate her fan pages, go to book signings in other cities, etc. ABT never tours to Denver (something we've discussed before, possibly because of the high-altitude clauses in the dancer contracts). Perhaps Vail will be announcing things like this in the future for her visit to Colorado. I hope so. It would be a nice activity for Project Plie or her corporate sponsors.
For many months, I've read everything posted about Copeland but never responded. I haven't seen her perform enough to make any meaningful judgments. I haven't read her book (just some book reviews). I don't seek out her TV interviews. I have read very strong opinions on all sides of the issues here and elsewhere. I wish it weren't so difficult to discuss these things in the U.S., but sadly, it still is. I think I'll go back to the sidelines on this thread!

African-American audiences are not, by definition, underprivileged....
Just because she draws a different audience than usually comes to the ballet, and yes, a more diverse one, doesn't mean the people who are coming are impoverished.
Misty has been appearing at dance festivals for years. This is nothing new. And I dare say that she has white fans who want to see her not because she's some unicorn, but because they like her dancing.
Also, most black people are middle or working class. Not everyone lives in the ghetto and not everyone depends on public transportation.
For Woetzel to book Copeland sounds like a no-brainer. I guess the schools will be closed then, but perhaps she'll do outreach programs anyhow. The festival's website says it "presents a variety of off-stage events, including free performances, community events, unique educational opportunities, master classes, discussions and more," so it's a good bet that she'll do a "community event" or two.
Perhaps some day the country will be able to discuss issues without remarks and opinions being monitored for any possible racist overtones, but both racism and the urge to see and then condemn it are human nature.

Intraday #1: Price is already at Resistance on a daily chart. Look for some chance tomorrow.
A breach of immediate resistance of 10835/36 will take it to 10870 and 10923/29 levels. A reversal on the other hand will test the support range of 10765-10750 and further down to 10733 level as T1.


A complex layering of fruity and floral notes, Prim is a romantic yet sophisticated choice for daytime or evening wear.
Opening with fruity raspberry, bergamot orange and blood orange notes, Prim evolves into a delicious flowery scent with delicate hearts of rose and peony and ends in a sumptuously sweet woody, musky jasmine.
Hints of patchouli and myrrh turn this classic scent into a more complex treat for your senses.
To smell like wonderful roses all day (and night), spritz Prim 3-4 times at the back of your neck, and once behind each ear. We even spray a little onto our pillows before bedtime. Sweet dreams!
Such a beautiful scent. Very "prim" in that I smell as if I have my life together.
I love Prim! It's now my only fragrance. It's very clean, crisp and feminine.
Love these perfumes. I ordered the smaller size as I was not sure how I would like it. I would order agin. The scent is strong but gradually fades. Because it is natural the scent does not last all day but that is fine by me.
Love Prim, definitely my favorite. Easy to order and very fast on delivery. Splash of Scent has exceeded my expectations.
Prim is AMAZING!!!! Love it!!!
It's such an alluring rose perfume. I absolutely love it!

In this week's Momentum Monday blog, we will review how to create a Custom Audience for Google Ads in Google Ads Audience Manager.
How can you use the information Google is already gathering on people to benefit your business? Creating a custom audience in Google Ad's Audience Manager will allow you to break down who exactly your ads are targeting.
First, let's review the Audience Manager. Here is a step-by-step guide to navigating the Audience Manager.
Log in to Google Ads. Select the Google Ads account you want to work with.
Navigate to your Tools. From here, go to Shared Library then Audience Manager.
Audience Manager is where you will find Audience Lists, Audience Insights, and Audience Sources.
Toggling over to Audience Lists is where all saved audiences will store. Here you can have all of you remarketing audiences, website traffic audiences and email lists visible all in one place.
Audience Insights is where you will find all information on your audiences including their gender, location, age, where they clicked from, what device they use, mobile or desktop, and much more.
Finally, Audience Sources is where you will find the source of this audience. The source types range from Google analytics, Google ads, Google tag manager, etc.
Go to custom audiences. This tab is where you build audiences in order to target specific people based on their online activity. Once here, you have 2 options – custom affinity and custom intent.
The Affinity option is people with interests aligned to your brand.
The Intent option is what they are actually doing online.
Next, let's move on to creating custom audiences in Audience Manager.
When creating custom audiences, you can target them by interests, URLs, Place or by App. Today, we will be reviewing how to target by URL, Interest, and Intent.
Provide a description of your audience (this will come in handy for when you are scrolling through your audiences later).
Insert the URLs you want to target. For example, if you wanted to reach small business owners, you may use websites like SCORE and the SBA.
Narrow down your audience. Toggle to the right hand side where you can narrow this group by location, language, and campaign type.
Once all of the information is inserted, you will see that Google automatically begins to search through their recorded data to give you the number of people you will be reaching.
This information will also display the top 3 website topics your audience is searching for, and the size of your custom audience.
Once you are satisfied, click save and you've got yourself a custom audience!
Creating a custom audience by interest is almost the same process as creating a custom audience by URL.
These interests are similar to keywords you would use for SEO and other digital marketing purposes. In this section, you can insert as many keywords you desire based on your audience's interests in order to narrow down your audience.
Once you are happy with your interest keywords, select your desired search location and language. After you get your audience estimate and make your adjustments, hit save to save your custom audience to your audience manager dashboard.
Again, this process is very similar to the interest process. However, this search will be specific to the intent of the audience.
After inserting the name of your audience, you have the option to select to use Google search terms or Google market keywords. Search terms are based off of what people are specifically searching for whereas in market keywords are specific to your business' local market.
Grace Kaye with Brainlabs adds some great additional details in her blog with Marketing Land about GDN Intent Audiences last summer.
Now that your audiences are created, you may be wondering how to use them in an ad campaign.
No worries, we broke it down step by step for you!
Then your campaign subtype. This varies from by campaign type.
And, finally, ways you would like to reach your campaign goal.
After you have filled out the required fields above, you will be able to name your campaign and select your location and language.
Then select how much you want to spend per bid and for your overall campaign budget.
And just like that – you campaign is created!
