'Instant Website Traffic System'

For all you website owners, and for all of you homeschooled families trying to just make some income to offset schooling fees, but converting traffic has been so very low, please read this! I have found us a solution! I haven't come across a system like this before and that is why I am so excited about it. 'Instant Website Traffic' is a new site that says it guarantees MORE TARGETED CONVERTING WEB VISTORS and online advertising with very little effort or cost! So I decided to jump right in and put it to the full test...

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits. No phoney bussiness or any dopey super-hype! Everyone is tired of that! All we want is our fair share of targeted converting traffic! Besides that they can keep all the BS and other junk!

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Instant Website Traffic" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Instant Website Traffic Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart! Very cool!

After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Instant Website Traffic link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Instant Website Traffic link is clicked, the page loads followed by a very cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Instant Website Traffic. So if anyone clicks the Instant Website Traffic image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral! It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site. How cool is that?

Now every time the ad window displays (your Instant Website Traffic links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Instant Website Traffic (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Instant Website Traffic image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks! And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Instant Website Traffic also. Are you starting to get as excited as I am about this? No dopey bs and no hard-line selling! I hate that and I think most people hate it as well! We all are just trying to make a little money to keep things afloat. But... none of us can make any money if we don't get some real converting traffic to our sites!

I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Instant Website Traffic even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature. And you guys know I wouldn't refer anything that is stupid or just a bunch of hype. You also know that if I do refer you to something, you know I am using it as well or I won't refer it it to my friends. You will see a banner on the right for 'Instant Website Traffic', if you click the, 'have you visited our main site' you will get the cool ad banner across the bottom of the screen and if you click the 'peel a page' in the upper right hand corner here and at our main site it will be a banner for 'Instant Website Traffic'! So you now know where and how I am using this system.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where 'Instant Website Traffic' really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden and a pain to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can e-mail again. Now THAT's pretty easy and cool.

Overall I have to say I am very impressed with 'Instant Website Traffic'. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises without hype and bs. I highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising to use 'Instant Website Traffic'.

As usual please feel free to email me with questions as well as to tell me how much you like this new program. Even if you aren't super computer geek like me, they have ton's of how-to videos! How easy can it get! I have checked it out as through and through as possible and with the fact that you can actually drive some traffic to your sites without having to pay up front and without having to jump through hoops is AMAZING! It was that fact that hooked me. See what you guys think and thanks for reading this! God bless!

_____________________________________________

I know I have written about this before, a couple of times I think, however it really needs to be apprehended and applied as soon as possible if it is to be of any help to you and your family. This year, with all the troubles of our economy, with all the unemployed and homeless families, will be the leanest holiday many of us have ever had. Depending on your age, most of us fall within the last of the baby-boomers and we frankly have had a spoiled and more of a lavish upbring! No, not everyone, and please don't get any hurt feelings. I am only mentioning this to make a serious point. After the wars, America began to experience a time of boom and prosperity. For most of the families living during this time and us children, all experieced tons of toys and fun stuff at every holiday! Plenty of good food, drink and toys was the average for that period-the period most of us adults today were raised in. Now however, these same children are the adults I am writing to today. These folks are already beginning to feel the sharpe-pinch of the economy as this holiday season begins.

This year many homes will be happy to have a home and a nice holiday meal together with love ones. There's nothing wrong with that, and I actually look forward to this time for these simple wonderful things. Unfortunately, though, many of our kids won't receive the mountain of toys they are used to and almost expect. Because this will be the norm across the nation, we had better start right now laying the groundwork of understandings of the simple things of life. Just about anything can be overcome with a close, loving and understanding family. Begin to tell the children that this year will be lean-meaning a time without a lot of the toys and trimings as normal. If you start now you can ward off a lot of hurt feelings and the over-all feelings of dispair, shared by everyone .

Whenever we are given a lesson to learn, such as a very lean holiday this year, we can always rely on what our parents attempted to teach us as they handed out a mountain of toys. Back then we didn't give it much time to sink in. However, today we can rely on an 'old fashioned' Christmas of being happy and pleased that your entire family can get together and spend time with each over a nice simple meal that everyone can supply a small portion of. When we all 'chip' in and bring a small dish or two. Once everything is layed out and displayed, everyone will be surprised at just how much and how good everthing looks!

Remember the lessons of hand-made gifts? Well if you do you will be prepared to teach your children that lesson this year. Also be sure to remember that even a 'nasty-looking hand-made' present is wonderful and treasured because it was HAND-MADE and not store bought! If you get your family together, begin by giving them idea's of what they could 'make'. If you do this, the chidren will enjoy it as much as, if not more than going to the mall and buying something they don't even know 'what it is'!

Because we at OLIN have had more than our fair share of lean holidays and because many of our customers are of the large families with only one income group (SILKs = Single Income Lot of Kids) we sell many items that are intended to easily be nice, affordable gifts. Please understand that the nature of e-books are easily over-looked to be 'physical-gifts' under the tree. However, The simple truth of the matter is that you can purchase very affordable e-book or even an entire e-book libraries on a specific subject of interest and give it as a gift that will be truly treasured! How? I hear some of you saying, "come on now, you can't put a computer under the tree with an e-book loaded up, waiting to be read! Yes, that is true however, now-a-days we have a 'new-fangled' thing called an CD or DVD burners. An e-book or one of our entire e-book libraries can be copied to CD/DVD disk and 'burned'/made permanent . This makes the CD/DVD a physical item now. Some folks are even blessed more with what is called a 'lightscribe' CD/DVD burner. This means that they can choose art work as well as hand-drawn art and 'burn' it- or etch it on the surface of the CD/DVD disk in three-dimension! Now you not only have a physical item but a fancy store bought looking item! All one has to do to finish this gift is to make a neat and easy to read 'contents card' and insert it and the disk into the enclosed plastic dust cover and then wrap it up with fancy holiday paper! So see now that one would have a gift that would rival any store bought CD or DVD, software or e-book, along with 'hand-made' artwork and fancy holiday wraping paper! Now this gift meets ALL the requirements of an expensive store bought item. Some would say it has a bit more because of the 'hand-made' aspect is included!

When you are browsing through OLIN'S online Christian family e-bookstore you will find many e-books, e-bips (electronic-bundled information product)and even entire libraries of popular subjects. Everything from learning how to perform magic tricks to the entire chess and checkers library. Hobbies like Bonsai Trees gardening, Bee keeping and hand-made Basket making to name just a few. Religious e-books, both free and for sale titles a,s well as 'new-career' professions/businesses! Now the gift receiver can explore all the possibilities of a new profession/career/buiness with all the needed research, before jumping in!

So we really hope you can see that OLIN offers a wide array of merchandise for many situations. To make it a truly good-deal and to help you out even more, we went through and lowered all our prices to make gift buying easier this year!

Some of the gals around here wanted me to be sure to mention our scrapbooking e-bip. Most ladies, from teen's all the way up to grandma's love scrapbooking. Our set includeds many features and free extra's like fancy fonts, new textures and so on.

Lastly, please don't over look the 'My Father's Legacy-His Story His Words' e-book project. It is intended that children buy the e-book from us and give it as a present to their father. The father then spends some time over the next couple of months and answers all the questions with heartfelt answers and stories, all in his own handwriting. When done the Father returns the completed project to the children as a gift to them and to be a lasting legacy for generations to come! This project is very affordable and it takes the place of, as do all of our e-books, e-bips and projects, of expensive store bought items that at times have be returned to the stores the day after just for cash because the present wasn't 'heartfelt' enough!

With a bit of time and imagination, you and your family can have wonderful family gifts to exchange for half to a quarter of the cost of store bought items. I have mentioned a few for you to help get started. I have explained how to take an e-book or e-book library and turn it into something physical to give as a gift. If you don't have a CD/DVD burner they are popular enough that I will bet you that a friend, other family members and even your church would have one for you to use for fifteen-minutes or so. I hope that instead of getting depressed and low over the lack of the usual excess, you take us up a make some great lasting memories for you and your family! A nice meal, a few of the idea's highlighted here would go a long way to make a truly blessed holiday, and after all , that is all we ever really attempt to do-Right? God bless and please, please, please ask us if you get confused or lost, or need some help financially, with regards to our merchandise. If you need any help, what-so-ever, we will be more than honored to be able to do so. Don't hesitate a moment longer, just ask us for help - Okay?

Before I get in to the blog carnival allow me to appear as tho' I am talking in circles, until the end and you will then understand what and why I said things as I did.

Today as we post this November's Blog Carnival it is our three hundred's (300) blog post! When I look at that number it doesn't appear all that large to me. However when I think about all the time spent writing these blog posts the number seems way too low for the amount of effort put out! This got me thinking that we adults use numbers each and every day too often to denote worth and value. Over time we become callused and the meanings change without much notice at first.

I have a theory that negative, 'bad' or cuss words spoken often enough around us become a part of our own vocabulary. The cuss words like numbers become callused over time and can then be used to mean something just a bit different. Now you are more than free to disagree. However I offer this personal experience as proof, and no I'm not bragging in the least. Back before I got sick and stuck in this dopey wheelchair, I worked many long hours around some of the very best people in the car business. AND no not the 'used car business' like all the jokes of being a crooked or dishonest either! Seriously these were some of the best people I ever got to know. We were simply average, honest Christian men trying to make an honest living. However, we had the very negative habit of using the very worst slang, and low-down dirty-nasty language with complete ease. It could have, if it hadn't already, caused a sailor to blush, so to speak! Again I am not proud of this nor bragging, I mention this to make a point. Before I got into that business I didn't use nor had I ever heard most of those cuss words! And no, I am not or ever was nor ever will be, an angel! However, due to the exposure of being around it ten-twelve hours a day, six days a week, it quickly became a part of my vocabulary as well. Now understand just how powerful and lasting they become. I have been disabled for over ten years! I have been sick out of my mind, in and out of hospitals so very many times, however, still to this day, some ten years later, no matter how hard I try, those words still do pop out of my mouth at times today!

I feel that just like the way of talking developes over time with exposure, so to does our reaction to numbers. We have been bombarded lately by Congress with huge numbers! Now those folks are used to talking millions, billions and trillions, but us average joe blow's really don't have any clue as to how much a trillion is. Whenever there is, unfortunately a disaster, the T.V. reporters inform us of either hundreds or thousands of people who died. We have become, unwilling and unintentional though it may be, but still so callused to 'number of dead persons' just like cussing. We don't even pay close attention until the reporters begin saying thousands of dead. Remember back to that terrible tidal wave/tsunami that killed over two hundred thousand (200,000) people? How many of us took note and the quickly continued with whatever we were doing? If the reporter would of said that enough people died to fill three or four football stadiums to the brim, maybe then we would have gotten weak in the knees and prayed for the victims and their families right then and there! I may be wrong, however I do want you to know that I know full well that We don't do this willingly, we aren't bad, uncaring people. We have just allowed our environment(s) to callus us to certain numbers in certain situations. What about the millions that were killed during the middle ages by the black plague? See I don't believe that us people don't care any longer. I think that we have heard numbers too often so then it doesn't sound all that bad if only three or four got killed last night in a fight somewhere.

Just like any good politician, we can spin and twist the numbers to mean just about anything. The purpose for bring this subject up was to remind you to not become callused by hearing the big numbers. When the reporters say we are only at a bit over ten-percent unemployment and that means that over ninety percent are working, you say wait! Wait a moment, and break the numbers down so that they mean something to you. Yes, ninety percent are employed, however change the other percentage to a concrete number, sixteen million are unemployed! I am not sure if it ever is done purposely to decieve, I rather think that it is just exposure and that we need to be aware of it to not get lost in the shuffle of a masterful, convoluted number user.

Lastly, because things are bad for such a large number of people, we need to pray. Simple old-fashioned prayer! We need to pray harder than we ever have! Why? because if things continue as they are, we all will be in terrible trouble for real and we won't need any masterful, convoluted number user to inform us of how good or bad we are. Simply stated, we all will be in very bad shape. Let's not think of that, let us put our minds on Jesus, our Savior and the one who takes our prayers to God the Father. Remember, 'if God is for us; who could be against us-NO ONE'! I am asking you to pray, not out of fear, but rather because 'things' are going to need the expertise of the Creator of the universe to get things straightened out! Before you pray, think of this first to help put things in proper perspective for you. That huge number-sixteen million unemployed is really even larger than that! Each and every one of those sixteen-million persons have a spouse, children, parents, cousins and friends! Or some combination there-of. Now see that six-teen million with those family and friends added to it and that is a colossal number of sad and hurting folks, who need prayer right now more than anything else! Please pray for an end to all this as soon as possible. Don't get callused by the over use and reporting of numbers. Six-teen million is a bunch no matter how you slice or dice it. Don't allow our politicans to get lost in all the arguements, we need them to help, and hekp right now! There will be time for arguing and showboating later! I pray that something changes right away and I pray that you and your family are comfortable and doing better than the rest! God bless and please pray!

Ed Jones presents It Worked Just Like Dad Said! posted at Lessons Learned From My 2 & 4 Year Old, saying, "Being a proud father - I often share stories about my two boys. Although I think they are exceptional in every way, I think people listen because they share similar experiences. They can relate to the disobedient, but oh so cute child or the embarrassment of a child who runs from you in a public place laughing hysterically or the unconditional love you never understood until you had your first child. So, I have decided to share some stories with you. These are lessons I have learned from my two boys. Not because they are all that different from your children. But, because the stories are probably actually very similar. God uses the simple things in life to teach me. May these stories be an encouragement to you that you are not alone."

______________________________________________

When we were kids, this was one of our most favorite times of the year! Candy on top candy until our stomachs turned to sugar. Everyone had candy galore, and it was for us-the kids! Wow talk about some fond memories. Unfortunately, today the fun of the season has been over-shadowed by the 'otherside'. You know the 'otherside', the real devil, demons, witchs, ghosts and so on. Now a days we make it well know that Halloween is the witches/wiccan 'new year' and the fact that those few 'satanist' out there somewhere, do actually do evil black magic on Halloween because the next day is the Holy day called All Saints day and the Commemoration of Martyrs as well as Reformation day for Protestants! The day after has always been a Holy day, I just think we didn't give what the 'otherside' was doing much bother in days past.

Today we as Christians are divided and that is worst than anything else. We are the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings. Because of all He did for us and because He knew we couldn't do anything by ourselves, except to try and fail. We are a Royal and Holy people because of all Jesus overcame and defeated for us. So why are we divided? It may just be what the evil 'otherside' would want don't you think?

Shhh, Let me remind you of a few things that will truly empower you-Okay?

First, the devil, Satan, Lucifer, Beelzebub, The Prince of Darkness or any other name he goes by, is not, was not and never will be a God! He doesn't want you to remember that, because then many will give into him out of fear. Satan was a fallen angel, simple as that. We on the otherhand have been made fellow-heirs of the eternal kingdom of Jesus Christ, The true King of Kings! Much more in rank than any angel. Jesus is our brother and the God of the Old Testament, The Great I Am, has become our loving Heavenly Father! Again, much more in rank than any angel! Satan has already been defeated by Jesus and so has death. Satan is now just like a hooked and caught fish out of water, he is hooked by the mouth and will not and can not free himself ever. Oh yes he, like a caught fish, can wiggle in a last attempt to free himself, however we know and he knows, it's over so go ahead and give it one big wiggle, who cares! Don't forget this major point of rank. Don't also forget that the devil has been defeated by Jesus already, because when we do forget, we can become fearful and subject to being abused and led into serious decapitating fear by the evil 'otherside'.

Now before you go off all puffed up with royal pride, we did not, could not, and never would have been able to achieve our new state in Christ Jesus. Jesus had to come to earth, be a human, live a perfect life that we are suppose to. Then Jesus suffered and died the death we sinner should have, and paid the penalty of all sin forever. Last but not least, Jesus after death went and declared victory over the devil and all demon want-ta-be's in hell and then overcame, defeated, and abolished death forever by rising back to life again in His Human Body and Soul on the third day. Sound familar? I hope so, don't allow your children to forget this either. It's all been paid for and freely given to us by our Saviour Jesus Christ. There is nothing above us or below us to fear-ever!

God our Father has always reminded us that He didn't make us with one ounce of fear within us! So why then do we fear so often? Because we constantly have 'old big mouth', the devil trying to frighten us with nothing more than smoke, mirrors and Pay-Per-View horror films with blood and guts, pea soup and spooky situations. Our fear comes not from within us but rather from outside of us, and of coarse from the evil 'otherside'. We give in to fear and then act cowardly, and all it does is puff up Satan's fleeting ego. Remember this one? If God the Almighty Creator of the entire Universe and of all things seen and unseen, is for us, who could be aganist us that should cause us any worry? No one-no how!

Now then, is it okay to cuddle up with a soft throw with friends and a bowl of popcorn and be temporarily frightened by a dopey spooky movie? Sure why not, it's fun as long as we remember that in the 'REAL' world we need not carry that fear around with us for any longer than a fleeting cold October moment. Don't allow 'make believe' to become real in anyway by dwelling on it. Just keep reminding each other that we need not fear anything should be enough to keep us thinking correctly. Don't forget that this point also means the same the entire year-long. 'Oh the economy is this and that', 'this group and that group are having these troubles', what do we first do? You guessed it, allowed it to cause us fear rather than to trust in our Heavenly Father, His only Son our Lord the Savior Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life and The Comforter of Christians!

Now back to the reason we Christians have become divided at this time of year. Some say that because we as a Holy, royally chosen heir's of eternal life in paradise/heaven, we should not ever reduce ourselves to playing with any thing that looks like the occult or actually is of occultic practices. We are so far above those practises that we shouldn't make a fool of ourselves and mess with any of it-ever! God our Father is really insulted when His children mess with the occult. So yes, we are to never mess with any occultic practises-ever! Now one side of the divide uses this last sentence as a reason to purposely avoid and refrain from all of the secular festivities of Halloween all together. That is okay and good, and those who believe that way should do as they believe. However, they need to warn each other in Christian love, that they need not puff up their egos as if they have some inside information and are therefore more holy than the other-side that does celebrate the time of year.

Now because we should truly avoid anything occultic the other side that does celebrate this fun secular time for the kids needs to remind each other, in Christian love, that we should not dress our children up to look like they belong to the evil otherside. The devil, demons, ghosts, witches and so on should be left aside for any Christian children. We should dress our kids up as sports heroes, Biblical characters, angels and/or other current cartoon characters. This way we aren't bowing down to any occultic practise or to the evil otherside but rather just having fun dressing up and having fun time together with our families as we do the 'grab for candy'. We also need not forget to educate our children the reasons why we do as we do, as we do it so that they too can give witness if called upon to do so. Lastly, this group needs to remind themselves in Christian love to respect those Christians that choose to not partake in the holiday and need not call them names or make them feel alone and isolated. After all we Christians are truly one body in our Lord Jesus Christ and there should be nothing that divides us-ever!

If we Christians would do as above, just one time, we would never be divided again, in anything. If we Christians would learn that a part of us can abstain from 'things' that cause them uncomfortableness as well as anything occultic; as another group of us allows the secular fun of the time of year for their kids without bending down to anything occultic as well, everything and everyone will be great! We could than all celebrate the holy day after the secular 'grab for candy' as truly one body in spirit and mind without any sore feelings in need of patching up! God bless and be sure to practise as you believe this halloween. Either way you believe don't alow the evil otherside to cause a divide among us Christians especially over the dopey fun time of 'The Grab For Candy'.
