Credit Card Debt Help Is Here

Leave a comment

If you have been reading my blogs, you would know exactly what I think of credit cards and their “evil” temptations. Yes, I know that credit card owners should be blamed for not having the discipline to use them well but then who would admit wrong doing, right?

This morning, I was surfing the internet when I came upon the website of The Debt Settlement Company. Some of you may know that I have debts to settle after taking over the responsibility of them from my parents but upon further reading, The Debt Settlement Company is actually helping people with credit card debts.

In any case, I continued to read the article son the site because I have a group of friends who are facing exactly this dilemma as described on the site, they are absolutely bogged down with credit card debts.

There are many types of Credit Card Debt Help actually, the site explains and Credit Card Debt Consolidation is one of the more popular option.

Of course, with every debt help option provided, they may not be suitable for everyone. Some may find that they actually like to accumulate their debts into a single credit card debt account while some would absolutely feel swamped by such a huge monthly settlement. Some, on the other hand prefer to get debt counselors to help negotiate a lower interest rate. This too may not be suitable for everyone.

Whatever the case, check out the terms and conditions carefully first before signing on the dotted line.

A Way To Get More Website Traffic

Leave a comment

I mentioned in a couple of post this past week that I thought of getting more contextual links pointing to my blogs and hence, raising the search engine results of my particular keywords. I wrote that I had a three-pronged attack to raise the page rank of my blogs, get more website traffic, raise my Technorati ranking and lower my Alexa ranking. A friend said that I am too ambitious. Am I?

But I think that I could garner more website traffic if I could optimize my site so that it is more search engine friendly and appear higher in the search engine results.

I know that I can’t possibly do this by myself and would rather let the professionals take care of my “dirty work”. According to Think Big Sites only approximately 2 – 5 % of all websites are properly optimized. I am surprised considering the amount of websites that are launched every single day! This got me thinking that if I do have my site optimized, I would literally beat the competition!

So I am all the more determined to get some funds together and engage the help of a search engine optimization company to get my sites tweaked as perfectly as possible.

What Happened to My Blog Break?

Leave a comment

I thought that I would get a two-day blog break starting yesterday and look what happened? Not only did I not get a break, I even wrote more than I did normally. Not that I am complaining haha!

BUT I did get a two-day break from the triple P network and that is not a good sign on a work day. Not that I wanted THAT break, mind you. If there is just another day without an opp for me then I am taking it to mean, “Hey, get lost, we don’t want you here!”

Anyway, when this is happening to me, a non-fussy blogger running multiple blogs, then I can certainly feel the Desert Storm faced by other international bloggers.

It’s just too bad when Triple P has been the best network for me till last month.

Mexican Wedding Packages

Leave a comment

After writing numerous posts about Hawaii, a friend asked me, if I have heard of other more popular destination weddings and resorts. He showed me the website to a resort site where they organize and hold weddings and honeymoons for bridal couples.

I have heard of people going away for their wedding, not only honeymoon, mind you, and I always thought that these must be expensive affairs but i think that since a wedding is a once in a lifetime occasion (well, it SHOULD be!), then why not spend a little money on it to make it all the more unique and memorable?

I was told that Mexican weddings are very popular because of the romantic setting and there are no legal issues about getting married in Mexico. I thought that people would prefer to go to Hawaii or one of the more common islands but I guess I am behind time!

Need to surf the internet even MORE!

Stairlifts In Social Welfare Programs Possible?

Leave a comment

While surfing the internet, I came across a site called Value Stairlifts which specializes in stairlifts for the home. I thought about my late grandfather, am amputee due to complications form diabetes, and how useful having a Stairlift at home would have been. We did not have it of course and I do not know if there was even such a thing as a stairlift back then but I can certainly appreciate the usefulness of having it at home so that my late grandfather did not have to struggle up and down the stairs.

Each time, either one of us would have to help and support him. No, it is not that we were too busy for him but we were worried that he would take a mis-step and came tumbling down the stairs and up with a bigger mess.

Come to think of it, the government should provide this to homes that have handicapped people in their social welfare program. What do you think?

Hassle-free Document Scanning Service

2 Comments

While surfing the internet, I came across the company called Record Nations. This company is offering Document Scanning Service at a reliable rate and they promise 100% confidentiality.

I realize that currently, many companies are going or have gone paperless. Everything in the computer and it would save a lot of time searching through records manually. Some people think that it is no use getting the document of the company scanned because paper documents will be kept in computer hard disk.

You see, by keeping documents in data files neatly and organized, there will no longer be a need to store these paper documents which takes up a lot of time. Besides, once these documents are scanned by a professional company that offers Document Scanning Service, they will be shredded properly to ensure that private and confidential information will not fall into the hands of a third party.

Since the day our company changed to paperless, we have been more productive with our time in the office. At least we are more organized now and the information will always be at our finger tips. We don’t even have to waste time going through the documents one by one.

Do you know, after we have gone and everything was so smooth, we asked ourselves, why did we wait THIS long?

A Link In Every Post

Leave a comment

It is funny. I think I tried too hard in not having a link on my organic posts and see what happens? It looks to me as if ALL my posts published in the past week and in drafts, have at least ONE link in them. Haha!

Well, what can I say? This is the essence of blogging! To link and be linked!

I hope that my reviewers will not have a fit distinguishing a sponsored from non-sponsored post. I am not up to arguing and there is also no way to proof that a link is NOT paid for. Its a good idea to place a “Disclosure” at the bottom of such posts!

Uggghh If I get rejection because of a couple of links here and there I would vomit blood! But to avoid all the hassle, I am going to try to keep my posts link free. Sigh …. it is difficult without the freedom to blood as and how I see fit.
