Article Body:
The most common mistake made by people who attempt to put together their first resume is that they put in too much information. They want to describe everything that they have ever done from the moment of conception to the present. The resume ends up being too long, and nobody will read it.

The most important piece of information that you should retain is that your resume, no matter how well it is put together, will only get a 15 to 30 second review by the person who does the initial screening.

That person is normally someone in Human Resources whose job is to look at hundreds of resumes per day. You must create your resume in such a way that it gives all the information they need in a maximum of 30 seconds.

There is information that, under most circumstances, should not be in a resume. This includes:
• Your age or date of birth
• Religious or political affiliations
• Reasons why you left your last job
• Your Social Security Number
• Health restrictions or physical limitations
• Any sentence that has "do not," "cannot," or "unable"

Age or Date of Birth

I repeat, you should not put your age or date of birth in a resume. In the US, an employer has no legal right to know your age. An employer can ask you only if you are over the age of 18 for insurance liability reasons or if local, state, or federal law requires that employees be over a certain age.

Therefore, if you're concerned that your age will be a factor, don't list the date you graduated from high school or the years that you received any of your degrees. I received my undergraduate degree in 1962. Can any of you guess my age?

Religious Affiliations or Political Affiliations

It's generally recommended that you stay away from listing a particular type of religion or political party affiliation. However, being active in your community or church can sometimes be a positive factor in many large companies, so you should make general statements about your participation in activities that support the community. Volunteer work for a charity group would be a positive example but active support for an environmental group could raise some eyebrows.

Reasons for Leaving Previous Jobs

We've become a mobile society and longevity in a position is now considered two years. People accept new jobs for many reasons. If you left your last job because of differences with your supervisor or company philosophy, I don't recommend that you put that information in your resume. The reader will probably get a negative impression of you. If you couldn't get along with your last company, you probably won't get along here.

If the job application asks you to give reasons for leaving your last job, a safe and truthful answer could be that you were offered a better position. "Better" could mean a pay raise, better working hours, better office environment, or newer equipment.

Your Social Security Number (SSN)

The exceptions to this are federal resumes sent for civil service positions. A prospective employer can ask for your Social Security Number in an application - that is normally a requirement for employment. However, putting your SSN on a resume could lead to disaster.

You'll be sending out many resumes; you won't know who'll be reading them. It doesn't cost much money to put a small want ad in the newspaper or on an Internet employment site, and a dishonest person can run a fraudulent ad.

If someone knows your SSN, he can apply for credit cards or other important documents, such as duplicate SSN cards, with the information you normally provide on a resume. Be alert if someone other than in the civil service asks for your SSN.

Information about Health and Disabilities

The Americans with Disabilities Act has changed the way businesses in the US recruit and hire an employee. Generally, an employer has no legal right to know your health status. The only health-related questions that an employer can ask are job related.

If the job description requires that you lift 50 lbs, the employer has the legal and legitimate right to ask in the interview if you can do this. He can also state the requirement in his ad. He cannot ask you if you have back problems, diabetes, or have had a heart attack unless the job, such as airline pilot, requires perfect health.

Find out your legal rights if you live outside the US.

Marital Status

I've added marital status because this is another issue that can work against you, particularly if you're a single parent. I know some people will disagree, but single parents have the highest absentee rate in the work force.

Companies will try to avoid hiring a single parent if at all possible. However, in the US they cannot ask you your marital status or if you have children. Don't volunteer this information on the resume.

If asked this question in an interview, the proper response could be, "Can you tell me what this has to do with the position I'm applying for?" That should end the questioning on this issue if the interviewer does not want to face a lawsuit.

Dental Drill Repair Franchises - The Ideal Work From Home opportunity

Dental Drill Repair Franchises - The Ideal Work From Home opportunity

Word Count:
299

Summary:
Dental drill repair franchises are booming. No wonder, because the work involved is simple and the franchise cost reasonable as no expensive equipment is necessary.

Keywords:
dental drill repair, home business, home based business, home business opportunity

Article Body:
If you are looking for a home-based business then you should consider a dental drill repair franchise. A franchise will give you more chance of success, though there is an upfront cost to be borne. This will pay for your training in the business, including how to handle the financial side of things.

Dental drill repairs are necessary because of wear and tear in the bearings caused by use as well as by the essential heat sterilization of the hand piece recommended by FDA and other national bodies.

The hand-piece is the part that contains the moving parts, so this is the most commonly serviced item. Hand-pieces can be returned to manufacturers or repaired by third party contractors at a lower cost.

Dentists have to heat sterilize their hand-pieces between patients, so have between 8 and 12 hand-pieces each. Each hand-piece needs servicing several times a year. The manufacturers' prices for this service are very high. This means that there is an opening for third party repair businesses.

Dental drill repair home businesses, including franchise opportunities are exploding. The work involved is very simple. All you need is a large, clean table or desk, preferably in a room you can set aside just for the business, because the pieces are small and you cannot be working surrounded by computers, books and papers.

Dental hand-pieces are powered by air turbine motors. Rebuilding these hand-pieces consists of taking them completely apart, replacing tiny ball bearings, O-rings, etc. and putting them back together again. Anyone who has replaced screws in spectacles has the dexterity required to do this.

There are other business opportunities in this field that are even more simple. You can simply collect the parts from dentists, post them away, then delivering the repaired parts back to the dentist with an invoice.

Are those Money Making Opportunities Real?

Are those Money Making Opportunities Real?

Summary:
Just don't lose your heart – there are still <a href:"http://www.profitfrominternet.com/typing_jobs.html">legitimate data entry opportunities</a> there. You just have to know how to look for it.

Keywords:
work at home, home business, online business, makes money, small business, work from home.

Article Body:
Hi Friend,

These days you can find a lot of sites popping up here and there saying you to try their Data Entry or Typing Job that will make you rich. Now the question is "Do these dream opportunities really work?" Well the answer is simple: Yes and No!!

I have known people who purchased one of these programs a bit hesitantly but after some initial labor are now making a good living of up to $10 - $25k per month. But there are others who purchased some of these programs but were unable to break even with  their investments. It's the second category that infuses fear into the hearts of the genuine opportunity seekers.

In my opinion these Home Money Making Programs do work but not like a magic potion. Your Success depends upon the quality of the program you are joining and the labor you are ready to invest into it. The returns can be massive! You have to be aware that the program you wish to join should provide you after sales support and do not leave you stranded in the middle after mugging you with the one time joining fee.

A few days ago I came across . This was a gem. A truly reliable opportunity. This is the type of company that we should look for. Why? Let's brief it out:

1) Created by experienced and successful individual willing to share his tactics with you.
2) Believable and to the point content.
3) Minimizing your investment by offering free bonuses helping you to start up.
4) 100% Money Back Guarantee.
5) Allows to peek into its member's area.
6) Most Importantly – After sales mentoring. This guy offers you free one on one personal coaching. What can be more reliable?

I had never seen any such program more transparent before. I mean most of other such opportunities ditch you as soon as you pay them, but this guy is promises to be different.
So, the moral – Don't just let it go thinking that everything is a scam. Just be logical in choosing them!!

How To Transform Your Profits Using Direct Response and Copyrighting Secrets

How To Transform Your Profits Using Direct Response and Copyrighting Secrets

Summary:
How Direct Response and Copyrighting Secrets Used Off and On Line turned this Struggling Local Audio and Hi-Fi Business into a Massive Profit Making Machine...

Keywords:
advertising, marketing, marketing campaign,advert,direct response advertising,business toolkit,advertising business toolkit,copywriting business toolkit,copywriting,killer sales copy,killersalescopy,copywriting made easy,easy copywriting,easy adverts

Article Body:

You know how sometimes, you look at your Hi-Fi system that you have had for many years – Old Faithful, and you think – 'Well – time I bought the latest gizmos and replaced the whole lot with one that works'.

I remember the first system I bought, and where I bought it from. It was from a little store in town, where the manager was really helpful and friendly, not at all pushy, and he even offered to come round that same evening and help me sort out all this new spaghetti wiring that seemed to spring up from everywhere.

Because of this helpfulness, over the years I went back to this store on many occasions, but with the passing of time, even me, with my loyalty, increasingly turned to the internet for my purchases.

Something inside me though, made me revisit this store – especially after seeing their pathetic attempt at a web site. You know the sort. It says something like 'Hello, welcome to my web site, our company has been here for 35 years, we sell this and this and this' all beneath a great big LOGO.

Now logo's are very impressive to the owners, but usually mean diddlysquat to any passing surfers.

Also, they seemed to be spending a lot of money on equally bland adverts in the local papers – you know, prime front page bottom right position – and total ignorable.

When I got to the store, I spoke to the manager (his name was Andy by the way), and asked him why he had never updated his web site. "Oh, we don't sell on the Internet" was his reply, "we can't compete on price on the web, so we get all of our business from local advertising". The fact that his site, crappy as it was, was Number 1 in a Google search for business of that sort in his area was totally lost on him!

Then I asked him which advert, which paper, pulled in the most leads. His response was also so typical of many a small business owner. "Well, as long as we get 20 or 30 leads a week, we don't worry about where they came from" he said.

When asked how he handled the leads, he said that they just employ a girl to follow up by phone, give it two attempts, then moved on to the next lead. He also admitted that they don't keep an up-to-date on-line database, and don't keep email addresses of their old customers (including me!). Now, to me that all sounded like a real waste of time, opportunity and money.

Having been involved in copyrighting for some time, and now selling my own Direct Marketing systems for small businesses, this to me seemed like a challenge.  Out of a fondness for his previous good service to me, I offered my services to give his business a complete marketing makeover totally free of change ( except of course for the fact that I would want a glowing testimonial afterwards – I am after all, a Marketer).

Just digging around in their business, I discovered so many interesting facts about this company, which could have added such tremendous added-value potential to their customers and prospects alike I couldn't believe it.  I knew that had these facts been pulled out in front of surfers, or indeed their existing customer and prospect lists, the hits would have shot through the roof.

For instance, they had the ability to build low cost computers, and actually had the ability to offer a pc service facility, and had employed two teenage 'geeks' that seemed to me to be able to answer any question on computers known to man! Ideal fodder for any half decent direct marketing activity, and a dream for a copywriter to get to grips with!  It was very clear that they simply did not know the value of the potential 'value proposition' they could make in their marketing blurb.

Working closely with them, within three months their business was beginning to show a remarkable growth in turnover, and PROFIT. Not only that, but instead of facing the prospect of many other business in the town,  that of giving up in the face of competition from Nationwide chains as well as price wars on the internet, this firm was on a very remarkable, steady growth in business, not just from local trade, but nationwide.

So, lets see where direct marketing and good copywriting secrets has taken them?

They now have:

• An extremely proactive web site that is geared up to capture names and email addresses of prospects. With a much bigger list came the opportunity to sell more and more low-priced products, and the ability to do joint ventures with suppliers as new products came along.

• A very efficient way of tracking the results of every promotion and advert – so they now put their money where the business is, and have actually reduced the cost of getting each prospect. They are able to analyze the average value of their customers so that they can set the cost of their advertising appropriately, and they know what they can afford to give away for free to entice new custom.

• A more highly focused method of creating adverts. Using powerful words rather than pictures of nice looking televisions, they now know that the prospects that signed in were more highly motivated and targeted than the previous ones.

• A very efficient customer database was in place, so they were able to target their existing customers now on a regular basis, luring them back into the store. They even found a number of low value products, just to keep these customers spending on a regular basis, so when the 'BIG Spend' opportunity came up, Andy's store was already top of their list.

• A number of separate profit centres set up (like pc repairs) to maximize on their growth, and retain new and existing customers alike. This also helped to build retention with existing clients, and was even creating more business by good word of mouth promotions (and of course the 'Tell A Friend' script on their web site.

• A formula for getting great testimonials from very satisfied customers.  These testimonials are all on the website and are a key part of establishing a reputation for honesty, integrity and service excellence.

• A stream of business coming in from the web – based on price alone – and making a profit from it!  (Remember Andy's earlier comments?)

In all, they are now spending less money on advertising and promotions, but generating more hot qualified leads. And of course they are making far more profit out of every activity they are now involved in.  For a small business they are now a pretty slick outfit that completely understand what their customer base want, and so can target their offering very accurately.

Is it not time you had a good close look at how your business is really performing?  Good direct marketing and copywriting facilities could breathe new (and a longer) life into any business. Whether you do it yourself, or employ an internet-aware consultant to do it for you, the effort could be more rewarding than you could ever imagine.

Today's new technologies and markets open up so many new possibilities that the question you should really be asking yourself is 'can my business survives without it?'

Failure Is Harder Than Success

Failure Is Harder Than Success

Summary:
Success University is a business opportunity with which you LEARN and EARN. This business opportunity is taking the internet by storm. Learn to be the BEST you can be, and get paid while you are doing that.

Keywords:
home business opportunity, success, wealth, internet marketing

Article Body:

For most people, the belief is that it's easy to fail than to succeed!  Well, I have great news for you – This is not true. It is actually easy to succeed than fail!

The experience of being successful is simply wonderful – just the satisfaction and motivation you enjoy along the way will simply make your journey towards success very easy. It will be a fantastic ride that you will absolutely love!

Planning for, achieving and enjoying success is very enjoyable. It also brings countless happiness and benefits to our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. The taste of success is so sweet; it simply makes the process of attaining that success a lot of fun!

What do you need to be successful?

• Successful people always have a PLAN and objectives to achieve. How can you become successful and wealthy if you do not have a plan? Your plan must help you build your goals. Your goals must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timed). With smart goals, you will be able to work towards your goals. Successful and wealthy people also review their plans to make sure that they are on course towards their goals. Do you want to be a better person, be wealthy and successful? Start TODAY. List your plan and vision and goals.  

• DO your BEST. Whatever you do, in your personal life and in business, give the best of yourself. If you apply your best effort in your business, success will easily come to you. Work hard dedicatedly, and you will be rewarded accordingly.

• The most important thing that successful people have is confidence and faith. You must have confidence in your abilities, and you must believe that whatever you want, you will get it. These two traits will bring you a lot of courage to work towards your success – nothing will stand in your way. You will work towards attaining wealth and success constantly until you get that success.

• Have PASSION in your life and in your business! Have you met some people who seem to have so much passion, energy and love around them that even if you spent 1 hour with them, they 'touch' your life in one way or another. You live only once – be full of passion in all the days of your life in everything you do in your profession/business as well as in your personal life. Successful people are successful in what they do because they are authentically passionate about it. Successful people do not simply work to have money or material success; they work because they adore what they are doing and are passionate about it. Materials success will come to you from your their passion. What are you passionate about? How can you turn that into a business opportunity?

• Learn, learn, learn and learn again. Successful people have an insatiable hunger for knowledge! You must have a strong desire to learn about how you can develop yourself into a better person, how you can make money and become wealthy. The deadliest sin is to settle for less and stop improving your life.

• Focus on the FUTURE. If you have made some mistakes in the past, learn from them and move on. If you want to be successful, you must treat life as a learning experience. If you face a temporary setback, never give up, find a way around it and keep on working on your goal.

• Have a mindset that attracts wealth. Yes, you can attract wealth simply by thinking about it and visualizing it. Learn to feel abundant in your life – and you will soon have abundance. Negativity has no place in the mind of successful people. Be optimistic, empowered and strong to work towards your goals.

Be wealthy and successful; and have a fulfilled life!

Alternative Marketing Strategies

Marketing online has become fiercely competitive. Marketers are attempting to unravel and decipher online marketing to succeed. Some argue that there should not be a distinction between traditional (off-line) marketing and online marketing.

Article Body:
Marketing online has become fiercely competitive. Marketers are attempting to unravel and decipher online marketing to succeed. Some argue that there should not be a distinction between traditional (off-line) marketing and online marketing. Others feel that concepts applied to mail order work well on the web, while still others argue that online marketing is a breed of its own and what works in one arena may not work in another. While some standard practices like "above" the fold, hold true in both print and online copy, it is rare that you see the printed type face on the web the same as in printed advertisements. Regardless there are traditional forms of advertising that are viable and make sense to use on the web but many marketers do not.

These undervalued marketing opportunities are not the end-all be-all but are great supplemental channels, that compliment strong online marketing campaigns.

Buyers Guides
Many print magazines offer free listings in buyers guides. Buyers guides typically have a long shelf life and are viewed as a product resource, meaning it is one of the first places consumers look when wanting to purchase an item. Often magazines will include product reviews or sponsored placement in a buyers guide. Typically the standard listing is free, but optionally vendors can increase their exposure by adding listings in additional categories for a nominal fee. Regardless the free listings are a great value and worth pursuing.

Product Reviews
The impartial overview from a credible source can spark product interest. A third party independent review of your product or service is seen as a vote of confidence. Invite publishers or even bloggers to review your product or service.

When requesting a review, it is proper net etiquette to always provide the reviewer an evaluation product free of charge. After the review, be sure to thank the reviewer and if appropriate, link to the completed review.

Forums/Volunteering in Communities
Offering your time and expertise will establish expertise and knowledge in a specific industry. Participants who participate in forums have a genuine interest and are a great target audience. Posting helpful information rather than blatant product advertisements will enhance an image.

Article Syndication
Writing quality informative and educational articles will also establish expertise. Articles also educate users about related product or service. Generally educated users require less technical help and are an easier sale because they understand how the people or service will help them.

RSS Feeds
Provide content in an RSS feed. While RSS is becoming very popular there are still a number of industries and sectors where very little content is available via RSS feeds. Placing quality content in an RSS feed and being "early to market" will help your company shine.

When small businesses compete with big businesses there are a number of areas in which they can compete effectively. As more businesses turn to the web as an advertising model, it is important that marketers and businesses define themselves by giving themselves every opportunity to be found. Utilizing undervalued marketing opportunities will separate online successes from failures.

Article Body:
Video conferences are not new to the business world. In fact, they have become so common anyone with an Internet connection, a substantial bandwidth, and a fully functional computer can now hold video conferences with friends, employees, clients, or business contacts from anywhere in the globe.

You could video conferences when you:

* want to hold meetings online.
* need to demonstrate products and services to potential clients from half a world away.
* train new employees in another country.
* Conduct after-sales servicing of products or software.

While video conferences may strike people as informal versions of the usual corporate meet and greet with the bigwigs, never forget that it is still a meeting. Here are some tips that will help you look and sound professional during a video conference.

1. Pay special attention to lighting.

You need to view the speaker and the presentation. Thus, good lighting is important. If, on the other hand, you are the speaker, avoid staying in a dark area. If you stay in one, all that the conference participants would be able to see of you is your silhouette. The same holds true for areas that are overly flooded with light.

2. Maintain eye contact. Eye contact is essential to almost all forms of human interaction. Video conferences are no exemption. As much as possible, look participants directly in the eye, even if you have to do this from a webcam.

3. Speak audibly. In video conferences, audio could sometimes be garbled. Make it a point to speak in a very clear voice. Do not chew your words or speak in monotone.

4. Make your presentation interesting.

5. If you are not the one speaking, give the speaker your full attention. Show that the other person's presentation interests you. Avoid yawning or fidgeting. These two actions are a dead giveaway that you are not following the discussion.

6. Hours or even days before the video conference, check on your computer's technical settings. Try holding a mock video conference with a colleague. Ask your colleague to evaluate your audio and video quality. Can your colleague see you? Can your colleague hear you? Tests like these are useful because they will reveal possible glitches that you might encounter during the actual video conference.

Without a doubt, video conference is an efficient and effective medium for online interaction. With the advent of the Information Age, it is seeing wider and more accepted use not only in the corporate world but also from homes and universities.

How to make the switch to working online part 1

How to make the switch to working online part 1
Word Count:
925
Summary:
How to take the initial steps in starting your career and work online. How to pick and choose you lifestyle and develop yourself to ensure success in working online. By learning different unconventional marketing techniques and using different marketing strategies you gain the edge on your competition through marketing online.

Keywords:
Marketing Ideas, Unconventional Marketing, Marketing Strategies, Marketing, Josh Whitford

Article Body:
How to make the switch to working online is going to be a short series on how to move from your 9-5 job to a life of freedom and flexibility of working online. This is how I made my move and how you can too, no BS involved.
First, it isn't working online but rather playing online and earning money. If I did not love getting up in the morning doing what I am doing, I wouldn't last a month. The biggest hurdle you have to overcome while pondering the thought of working online is to ignore what others have done to make money online and to do what you love instead.
When people first start out online, they look at the likes of John Chow and Jeremy Schoemaker and think, "I can do this." What most people realize after about a month of trying is it doesn't work out that way. Earning money online can be a lot harder than it appears.
First Step:
Start! I know that seems basic, but it is amazing that most people only think and talk about making a life change for the better. So get going and do it! Learn about the different ways you can make money online and what you are capable of doing.
Second Step:
Find what you love to do. Motivation is a huge factor in success. When you love your work, you aren't working. Having fun is probably the most important aspect of doing what you love. Besides loving what you do, you will often know a lot about that particular niche, adding even more to your credibility and knowledge to the trends in that market. Knowing as much as you can about your niche market gives you the edge on top of the passion to pursuit it. It amazes me that even after blogging for a short period of time you will see so many other bloggers come and go as they slowly give up on their pursuit of money. It's a pursuit of a dream that will carry you through.
Third Step:
Phase into your online work. I didn't just wake up one day and start working online. I started by reading blogs. Then I started subscribing to blogs that I liked. I opened up a free blogging account on Blogger.com and other sites, learning the skills of creating a fluid site online. I learned how to and how not to make money online (selling ebooks is not going to get you anywhere unless you know how to market online well). Make the shift from part-time Internet entrepreneur to full-time self employed Internet marketer. Start small and allow yourself to have a life outside of the Internet and your work. As you grow and expand online, you will have to be the judge of when to quit your day job and pursuit your online business. I did this after roughly 4-5 months. I timed vacation and paychecks to give me the most coverage and financial buffer I could. This process wasn't easy and I had to live on next to nothing for a few months in order to accomplish the transaction. I recommend saving as much money as you can before this part or already be generating a steady income stream from your part-time online ventures. Both are good ideas.
Fourth Step:
Find a balance in your life and establish a routine. It is a whole new world to work for yourself. There is no longer someone making sure you are accomplishing your work. You have to be your own boss. Treat your time as a commodity that you can no longer take back. Time is no longer worth a fixed dollar amount. It is equated in the terms of value added. You now get paid on performance and the value that you provide. It no longer matters how long it takes you to accomplish tasks in order to get paid but rather how much value you provide your customers. Never cheat your customers on value. You may find that in order to generate the income you want, you only spend 4 hours a day working for it. It is important to find that balance and treat that time like it is pure gold, because it is.
Fifth Step:
Diversify. The days where you set up a store front and sold hardware supplies to local people are fading fast. In a world that changes in a matter of minutes online, you cannot afford to be stagnate. As soon as you start generating a decent income from your flagship blog or virtual business, you should be creating the next. When you have 4-5 different but related businesses online, you protect yourself from failure due to lose of income. If one of those businesses or income streams disappears, you still have others to carry your through until your next idea is put into place. The winds of business change so quickly online that no one knows for sure what the next year will bring. If people claim to know, they are lying.
Sixth Step:
Give back. Giving back is a crucial part of business and branding. Giving back doesn't always have to involve money, it can be in time to help charitable causes, giving advice to others, talking with and answering questions from customers, sending thank you cards and notes and just about anything else. Never forget where you were at one point, and remember to give credit to those who helped get you there.

Article Body:
The clinical trial called the Age-Related Eye Disease Study sponsored by the National Eye Institute found that high levels of antioxidants and zinc significantly reduce the risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration. Advanced age-related macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss. The study involved 4,757 participants, 55-80 years of age in 11 clinical centers nationwide.

People at high risk of developing advanced stages of AMD received a high-dose combination of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc.

It was an exciting discovery for people at high risk for developing advanced AMD. These nutrients are the first discovered for effective treatment to slow the progression of the disease. Treatment for advanced age-related macular degeneration is very limited.

The nutrients studied delay the progression to "advanced" age-related macular degeneration in people who are at high risk, those with intermediate AMD in one or both eyes, or those with advanced AMD in one eye already. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in Americans 65 years of age and older.

The nutrients will not cure AMD or restore vision already lost from the disease. They will play an important role in helping people at high risk to not develop "advanced" AMD and keep their vision.

Drusen is a common feature of age-related macular degeneration. Drusen are yellow deposits under the retina found often in people over age 60. A lot of people will have drusen during an eye exam in which the pupils are dilated. Drusen alone does not cause vision loss. It is the increase in the drusen size and/or number that increases a person's risk of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration. Age-related macular degeneration can cause serious vision loss.

Studies previously suggested people who have diets rich in green, leafy vegetables have a lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration. The high levels of nutrients that were evaluated in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study are extremely difficult to achieve from diet alone. There was also a cataract portion of the study in which researchers found that the same nutrients had no significant effect on the development or progression of age-related cataract.

Taking large doses of antioxidant vitamins or zinc may not be appropriate for all people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration disease because of medical reasons. For example, if you are a smoker, beta-carotene has been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer. These groups of people will need to discuss with their primary care doctor the best combination of nutrients for them. It is also necessary to add appropriate amounts of copper to the diet when using high levels of zinc to prevent copper deficiency.

The participants reported minor side effects from the treatments which included:

• Urinary tract problems that required hospitalization

• Anemia at a slightly higher rate, however, testing of all patients for anemia showed no difference among treatment groups.

• Yellowing of the skin is a well-known side effect of large doses of beta-carotene; this was reported slightly more often by participants taking antioxidants.

The AREDS study is the first to demonstrate an adequate treatment for people at high risk for developing advanced age-related macular degeneration disease. The formula will help to save the vision of many who otherwise would have serious vision loss.

Enlightened CEOs already understand one undeniable conclusion from all this research-that investing in people is the surest path to business success, especially in a time when there are more jobs than people to fill those jobs. Other CEOs, who focus more on short-term returns than long-term success, who still believe in the "cannon-fodder" theory of human resources, who still insist that money is the main motivator, who are distracted from the organization's best interests by their own greed, or whose leadership ability is hampered by the limits of their emotional intelligence, may never be persuaded.

Even so, smart, caring, and well-informed HR leaders must not give up the fight to educate and influence executives to do what is in their own intelligent self-interest and the long-term interest of the business to do. And when senior leaders respond by saying, "but we are already successful" the appropriate reply must be: "and think how much more successful we can be!"

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is extremely important for any internet company but also important for web sites from brick and mortar businesses. SEO is important to bring the right targeted audience to your website. There are many myths about SEO, some are true, some were valid a few years ago, and many have no basis.

Myth 1: Multiple Domains

One SEO tactic involves etting up multiple domain names to bring more traffic to your business. This can be helpful, but often is not. Not only would this be expensive (yearly fees for domain name and maintenance) but would be very time consuming to maintain all the websites.

Myth 2: Search Engine Submission

Resubmitting your information every few weeks is not necessary, but could even reduce your priority ranking. Once your website is in the database of the search engines, there is no need to update your information.

Myth 3: Meta Tags

Another myth is that meta tags increase visitors. These might have been true five - ten years ago years ago, but current search engines do not place priority with the inclusion or absence of meta tags on a website. One important thing to remember is that the search engines do use the meta description tags when displaying your site in the SERPS. So while the meta tags may not affect your rankings, well written meta tags can increase the number of searchers who visit your site.

Myth 4: SEO Is Too Costly

Other myths include the value of SEO. They feel SEO experts are a costly, unnecessary expense. Marketing efforts are very costly. Direct mail, banner ads, radio or TV ad time, print advertisement, e-mails lists and trade fairs can all be more expense than SEO. Some companies believe an in house SEO effort can be as effective as an SEO company. This is a myth too, and SEO is a function that should be outsourced to ensure the company is aware of the latest trends. Traffic on you your website can be increased drastically by a SEO professional.

Myth 5: SEO Doesn't Matter

The other major myth is that when people are looking for a specific company, they type in the website url. Since the exact name of the website is rarely known, many people (estimated at close to 90%) save time by using a search engine to quickly and easily locate a website. For example, even for major websites like , people use a search engine to locate the website instead of going directly to the site. SEO is important so that your business may be found on the search engines.
