Why should there be a place "Where People Help People Win?"

This is purely a Test.

I am in the process of building a barter type site and am very interested in what bloggers think of the whole idea of swapping their services or goods in this day and age.

Times are getting tough around the world and whether you are in Canada, New Zealand, Australia or the United States of America you are probably interested in ways of saving money. We all are I am sure so I have compiled a POLL and would love it if you could voice your opinion here. It is all anonymous.


Would Bartering Goods and Services Work Today.

Just Money? No! Barter is Much More Than That

By definition, barter is the when parties swap services or resources. But in business terms, it’s an exchange that ends usually with everyone a winner. All parties involved in bartering hold onto their cold hard cash and don’t lose a cent. There’s no worries about getting ripped off as a buyer or seller, so it’s an exchange that’s high on trust, low on tension. And finally, the government doesn’t get its hands on any of the proceeds. Bartering is such a great system, it’s no wonder it’s been around nearly forever.

Historians and archeologists reckon that bartering is a human business practice for the ages. It goes back as far as written history, and perhaps even further into mankind’s (and womankind’s) history of business practices.

Between humans, the actual business practice of money came long before money was invented. In written history, as far back as 9,000 BC, shepherds used cattle as a means of exchange—from sheep to cows, camels to goats. Then when farmers came along during the course of the next couple thousands of years, grains and plants became the hot commodity in the world of bartering.

Bartering may have dissipated over the years, but it by no means went away. That’s the amazing thing about bartering. It still is, to this day, the ideal method of business exchange for some business folk, including companies with millions in assets. But it’s especially helpful for small businesses looking to get a leg up on their competition.

Listen to people talking in today’s business world, and you’ll hear stories such as the programmer who helped to code an interactive Web page for a start up graphic-design company, in exchange for a logo design for his own start up surf-board design shop. Then there’s the story of the new Internet advertising firm rolling out an ad campaign for a restaurant. Later that year, the restaurant hosted a “free” party and dinner for that ad firm’s clients.

Examples in today’s business world abound for bartering. The reason is that bartering still has many advantages to it in this modern business world.

For instance, for companies that are just starting to build up their assets, bartering is an opportunity to save their hard-earned cash. Even established companies love the chance to keep their money in the bank. With bartering, a company can get what it needs, while providing a service that the other company needs.

And because there is no money passed between pockets, the taxman does not even need to know about it. That saves you, and your accountant, the trouble of figuring out one more piece of business income or expense.

Lastly, deals involving money may whip up the old Scrooge mentality—a combination of greed and mistrust. With money deals, you may always be left wondering if you got the short end of the stick. Not so with bartering. With bartering, you get exactly what you need. And in return, you give a fair share of goods or services.

There’s no need to be a Scrooge here. Instead, the whole transaction is one of trust and understanding. Generally speaking, bartering for goods and services feels more worthwhile than paying money, whether you’re bartering for a dinner party for your clients, Internet advertising space, or whatever it is that you and your bartering partner agree to. Perhaps it’s because you can actually feel the value of your own goods and services. Or it may be just because you don’t have to open your wallet.

How to Actually Rank #1 For Any Keyword

By Ray Ellomm

Is it feasible opportunity to get thousands of traffic hits to your internet site? It must be remembered that this is not a deceitful maneuver since it is really possible to do this. Next, never under value this visitor turnover as these people are highly motivated who hold the biggest potential to become your future customers.

The way I look at it is that these targeted visitors should be directed to some place. This should preferably be a website of your own and even if you don't it might be healthy to start putting up a internet site now. With this being said, here are 2 great hints on how to get enormous traffic.

Look For Keywords Which Would Be Only Yours.

Even if you are not too keen to spend a few hours a day on research, you have to listen to this piece of advice. One of the things, which you simply cannot avoid, is research for keywords and this should be your number one priority. The other way of looking at it is to visit forums and research for keywords. For people who are just starting out up to those who are at the intermediate stage with less than 2500 traffic hits to your website, this is perhaps the best way to move. We are talking about passing about 5 hours a week doing thorough research on keywords and long tail keywords which are unique and specific to you. You might want to beg to differ that you can hire someone to do this for you but you know your markets best. Simply spend some time thinking the phrases your prospective customers would use when they search online for solutions to their problems and finding 100 keywords like this is really no issue.

Writing Still Happens to be One of the Best Traffic Attraction Schemes.

I read in a book once that says authority simple means a breakdown of "authority", which means you have to be some kind of writer online if you want to be successful in generating traffic. Don't you think that an author is also a great speaker? And did you know that speakers get very handsomely paid to speak, sometimes to the tune of ,000 an hour. If you are curious whether you have the right skills to even jot down a small paragraph of text, then read this. You can do it because you are already writing everyday just that you write it verbally. You are communicating verbally all the time, to your friends; colleagues loved ones and even to your pet.

Becoming a writer it is easy.

Start off by writing whatever you were talking about and before you know it, you could be writing a number of traffic generating communications like press releases, articles and web text for your site for doing Search Engine Optimization. Before you know it you could have over 4500 exclusive traffic hits to your web site.
