The Real Reason That The Music Business Is Down!

Record company executives are feeling very down these days, the bis' just aint popping like it use to. Record and cd sales are way down. The state of affairs is, indeed, gloomy but I say it should have been expected. The music industry has been throwing out a lot of low quality music. The current group of recording artists leave much to be desired, most are simply bad duplicates of “true” and talented artist, like Micheal Jackson. Micheal Jackson, said to say, is a prime target of many of the wannabes in the music industry. Sales are down primarily because of the mediocre talent that now roams the music world’s praries, internet file-sharing is only a byproduct of the state of things, people don’t feel an impulse to buy most of today’s music offerings but they are willing to download it for free.

So, how can the record companies return to their place of glory? Well, the way consists in refusing to “sign” untalented bands and singers. Record companies must become more diligent and critical when choosing artists. They must come to realize that the public demands singers that can sing, producers that can produce and songwriters that can write. Anything short of this is bound to fail. The low sales of cds is showing music execs that what they are providing isn’t up to pare and we are not willing to pay for that kind of low, unartistic music. This present situation in the music business can turn around but it will take the combined effort of the record executives and talented artists - in an industry with little of both.

Survey Sites are Scam Sites

The only people making money doing surveys, are the people offering them: the survey sites themselves and those who get paid when you use their site to find survey sites. The loser is always you - the uninformed survey-taker. I have personally taken surveys only to get scammed and receive no money. There are people out there recruiting for the survey sites - beware, they’re part of the scam. These recruiters know you’ll make close to nothing participating in their scam; but they want your money or the money they will make from referring you, so be warned.

Surveys are the best way to really know the public’s opinion on products. But finding a legit website that offers genuine surveys, along with compensation for your time, is like finding the needle in the haystack. There is just too much money to be made in abusing the public’s trust. These evil survey sites care nothing for you and me and treat us like game for the hunt. The scam survey outfits could care less about providing the companies they work for valuable information about their products. They cheat their clients along with us - their not prejudice - money is their only objective. Now let me tell you about your friend next door - the one with that pretty little, innocent website, who told you to join some survey site through him or her. That person is a “recruiter”, everytime he or she gets someone to join a survey site, they earn a buck or two. They’re not trying to help you, they're only out for themselves. Too bad you fell for the scam - you’ll be alright, it’s not the end of the world. Sometimes friends are not friends.

Some of you might feel I’m being a little hard on these sweet little survey sites, so let me tell you how they operate. First, they have you create an account. Then they proceed to spam the email address you sign up with to death - it’s something you have to experience - you won’t believe your internet eyes. Next, you will be directed to one of their bullsh**t web torture chambers: a website with numerous worthless surveys and offers. If you knew what was in store you’d run for your life. But instead, like me, you proceed to waste your time taking worthless survey after worthless survey. To earn any real money, you would have to take a million of these worthless surveys, because what they pay is less than what an elephant gets in peanuts. No, there’s more - check this one out - most of the surveys that pay anything require you to reveal your credit card number, and sometimes they even want your social security number. After all this, you will still find that you receive very little for your efforts, and many times you will receive absolutely nothing. Okay, do you still feel I’m being too hard on the internet survey sites? I’m glad I opened your eyes - I saved another one.

List Of 6 Ways To Be Less Dependent On Google

Think about it, with Google’s ever-changing algorithms, how can you feel secure about the ranking of your website? It may be looking good in its SERPs(search engine results pages) today, but how about after the next algorithm update. Can you really expect that your site to have that same position or better? Many website owners and their webmasters are finding Google and its page ranking procedures to be quite confusing. They are finding unexplained and unexpected changes in the positioning of their websites in the Google search engine database. Some owners are finding their once high-ranking site much lower in the the Google SERPs after one of search engine's periodic algorithm updates. This usually means a big reduction in the website’s revenues which means lower sales and possible failure of their business.

Google holds the fortunes of most websites in its hand, and with its constant algorithm updates who can be sure of their website’s search engine results? The smart businessman would be wise to look beyond Google as his sole means of business promotion. For if he or she fails in this area; they will most certainly have a business casualty. All business people should be researching other means of marketing to insure a successful business endeavor online.


That being said, Google is not the only way of gaining exposure for your website. You can implement strategies that will lessen the ability of the Google giant to control your internet venture. These techniques do require effort, but you can master them with patience and determination. Here are some of the most effective ways to get visitors and potential customers to your website:


    1. Forums - forums are a great way to acquire targeted traffic to your web presence. Forum participants are people with interests similar to yours. In a forum you will be able to engage in discussions on subjects related to your business. You can network with individuals knowledgeable about the field you are in. These people can and will provide helpful information on topics of interest to you. You can also share your knowledge with the group. Some may become customers or mentors; overall, you are sure to make contacts and get visits to your site. To get visitors, remember, you need to include your website’s URL in your signature(your name or I.D. with your company’s URL included) when you post a comment.


    2. Email - put your signature on all of you email correspondence. This is a nice way to promote your site in a very subtle and effective manner. The recipient will almost always take notice of your included web address and go to those emails if ever desiring to contact your site. The email will serve as an unnoticable marketing tool.


    3. Online classified ad sites - place classified ads with various online classified ad sites. Sites like Craigslist.com can be used to generate traffic to your website by presenting products and services you have to thousands of potential customers. Be sure to look into these, for some of them are totally free.


    4. Reciprocal linking - get backlinks from other sites in your field. Find sites that provide similar products and services to yours, but it’s best to make sure these products and services don’t directly compete with what you provide. That may not always be possible but always try to do it that way. Less competition is always good. If this can’t be done, just remember, a link from a site in your category will most certainly be of value to your website. You could receive visitors from your link on their site. So, be willing to cross-promote with other websites, it usually turns out as a benefit to your site and vice-versa.


    5. Social community sites - this is one of the single most effective new developments on the internet landscape. These sites are sprouting up all over the world-wide web. New and interesting communities are being created constantly, with people gathering to share their thoughts on a variety of topics, from animal care to WAHM (work at home). Joining these groups you a sure to find many like-minded people who will become your internet friends.You can receive helpful advice, and entertaining conversation on these social sites. Myspace.com, Mybloglog.com, Mylot.com, Facebook.com and others, are getting lots of visitors and are growing larger day by day. Get in and get connected.

    6. Bookmarking sites - sites like Digg.com, Stumbleupon.com and Reddit.com can send you literally thousands of visitors. There are webmasters who specialize in producing information and articles to submit to these sites in an effort to promote their websites. An enticing piece of information on one of these sites will cause a stream of prying eyes to your website. Some of the visitors will continue to visit your site which can mean a constant improvement in your site’s readership. Register with them and see an increase in your site’s popularity.

Now, as you can see - there are ways to get around Google. It can be done, but you are going to have to work to make it happen. Google is a very valuable giant to have on your side, and we all know that. But letting this giant control the total well-being of your website can be foolhardy. As I’ve said above: Google updates its methods of calculating search engine rankings constantly. You are, therefore, at its mercy regarding your website’s visibility - you maybe sitting high in the SERPs today - but what about tomorrow? Do the things suggested above to insure a more controllable website marketing future for your business. Use the information and enjoy the rewards!

Use Google and Other things to get visits to your website

Hello folks,
Here's some more info I'm making available. This time I'm going to talk about getting people to view your website. Read this article carefully, it will be to your betterment :

Use Google and Other things to get visits to your website


I was just like many of you out there, I created a website and thought I was now ready for, and would get attention through my new site. Man, I was so, so wrong, that was the sour truth that I had to swallow. I started out extremely optimistic, but I was to find out that having a site on the world wide web is only that, it is only the first step to internet success. Having a web presence only means your website is available to the public. The site is now accessible to anybody who would like to view it but that is only the beginning. Now, here’s the shocker: yes, the site is out there for all to see but who’s seeing it? I bet you never thought about that. See, you have this wonderful website, but you’ve got no visitors - nobody knows you have a site - nobody knows your website exists. So, most of you, like I did, quickly realize that you have a very big problem. The problem is no traffic but that can be solved in many ways. I’m going to tell you some things to do:

Learn About Search Engines


Search engines, these are the main reason your site gets no visitors. A search engine is a database that contains the information about most websites on the www or world-wide web. Google is the biggest and most popular search engine, but there are thousands more. To get into a search engine, you will most likely have to submit your site to the particular search engine. Another way is to get your site linked to or listed on a popular site, the search engines visit popular sites often, and list the new sites listed on those popular websites. A search engine is like a telephone book, it helps you locate sites in the fields your interested in. It’s the same as using the ”yellow pages”, only these yellow pages are for the internet. To find search engines go to Google and type in ”search engines” and go to those sites and submit your website. It can take months for them to include your site, so be patient. The other method will shorten the time considerably.

Learn SEO


SEO is short for ”search engine opitimization”. This is only for the true do it-yourselfers, for this can take a long time to master, and it isn’t easy. You will need to study it with determination. SEO is part of what a webmaster studies, he must know it in order to get his website or websites, known by the public. SEO is the study of how search engines work. There are certain criteria the search engines look for in a website, and the search engines themselves are complex machines, but you won’t need to know everything to get your site in these search engines. In SEO you will learn about site content, meta tags, keywords, etc., it will take time. There are some rather simple things that can be done with your website that will make a search engine give attention to your site. So don't let the search engines scare you off. You just have to learn.

Try Web 2.0


What’s Web 2.0? The term, Web 2.0, is used to indicate the new web communities, such as Myspace, Digg and many others. The internet is much different from the early days, the changes are phenomenial. Web 2.0 is one of the newest developments. Well, anyway, don’t feel overwhelmed, it’s easy to get involved with Web 2.0. Just type in ”social communities on the internet” or ”bookmarking sites”, then go to those sites and register. When registered you will be able to list you site ane articles you’ve written. This will get your website noticed if the communities find you and your site interesting. They will become visitors to your site - it works if you work it.

Above I have relayed some good information on getting your website noticed, reread this information and then apply it. This information will not help you if you don’t apply it. And that means your site will remain lost in internet space, with no visitors. So, go to work, use the information I have freely given you, and see your web presence improve.
