I ask what is going on here in the USA? I am not a financial genius and I could be wrong but this is the way I see it. First we bailed out the banks because they gave out too many bad loans. These people who are financial geniuses gave out loans to people who could not afford them, hoping things would get better and the people could pay their Bills. Basically what they did was gambling. Its like me going to Las Vegas betting over and over on red figuring it will come up eventually and when it never does and I lose all my Money. I then go and ask for all of it back plus more! The Banks who gave the Mortgages where given a bail out of around 600 Billion Dollars so they could stay in business. Now as I have read for around half of that the Government could have paid off all those bad loans and helped poor American Families keep their homes. If all the bad loans where paid then would not that take care of all the Banks problems? Instead they gave super rich bankers who mad bad choices lots of Money so they can continue to make the same decisions that failed before and live their incredible lives that most of us can only dream about.

Now we have the same thing going on with the Auto industry. I do not understand why we would bail them out. It seems to me that if you run a business and you fail, well then you fail. Aren’t these the same auto makers who over charge us for their cars? I can not believe none these manufactures can make a car that will last much longer and run on less gas or some other type of cheaper fuel. The Auto industry and the men who run it have been a major controlling factor in the world for many years. Aren’t these the same Auto Tycoons that we have heard stories about them keeping all the new smaller car companies from starting up or “buying up” any competitor who comes up with a better Motor Vehicle for over the last half century? The story of Tucker and his dream of making a better car for hard working Americans, Was that not a true Story?

If these Auto Companies where left to go out of Business many Americans who work at these Companies factories would lose their jobs. I do care and understand that it would be very hard on them. Right now is a tough time for all Americans. But I believe that before the dust could even settle from these companies collapse, We would have many small car manufactures starting up making much better cars at lower prices. These cars would last many years longer then the current ones we drive and I can only guess would run much further on a gallon of gas or some other cheaper fuel source. I would bet that fuel would be much better for the environment. Soon after with the huge super powerful big Three of the auto industry no longer in control and maybe crushing any small start up auto manufacturers, We would have hundreds of small car companies all across the Country and soon many more jobs for everyone along with much better automobiles to drive around in that burn cleaner fuels. Who knows maybe we could even get those dam flying cars we where all promised as Kids!

This is a hard time for this country. I think it is evident in the choices the American people have made as of recent, that we now know we can no longer have the same people in power making the same mistakes. These companies and the people that have been controlling this Country have lead us down this road. It looks to me that now that we have reached the end of the road and there is a cliff. Those that have been leading us are now asking us all to trust them and jump off that cliff and fill in the gap so they can walk over us and allow them to continue leading the way !

The idea of this country has always been if you can build a better Mouse trap you can become a Millionaire.What it looks like to me is these people did not allow any one else to build a better Mouse trap. Then they sold the only traps available making them so they would last only a short time, While charging a real high price for them. It has got to the point where the people can not afford to buy new Mouse traps when the old ones brake and have decided they will either try to fix the old ones or just live with the mice. They need their money for other things more important then new Mouse Traps. Now like in the case of the auto Companies they are asking the Government to give them the Money the people can no longer afford to spend on their products.

Now is not the Money they are asking to be given the hard earned Money the Government has taken from the same people in Taxes who can no longer afford to buy these products! These Companies are getting the hard earned Money of the American People who can no longer afford to buy these over priced Vehicles, That last a much shorter time then the ones made 50 years ago. Now our Government who has been over taxing us for years is thinking about giving away 15 Billion dollars of our money.

What charities and programs are we going to have to cut so these Auto tycoons who have houses all over the world, Their own private Jets and pretty much anything they have ever wanted continue to get richer? Will this money come from our Schools? What about the Hungry Children of the USA? What about all those people who are out of work and those that are going to lose their homes the banks are foreclosing on? I bet 15 Billion dollars could really help them out.

America is the land of dreams. It is the Country where a man can be poor one day and rich the next if he has a good idea. There is nothing that says if you have a great Idea and then you make a Mistake and lose everything the Government will bail you out! We are not helping the poor Auto factory workers here, They most likely will loose his jobs any way. We are only helping the Rich Auto Tycoons to be able to pay for all their many luxuries! Do I think our Government will bail them out? Well to that all I have to say is take a look at who funded many of today’s politicians campaign and then you will have your answer?

Again I am not a financial Genius and I may have this all wrong I am only Your Bro L.J. James AmericanBikerX.com

Niche sites on wordpress are all the rage. They are easy to build, and can easily make you good money, whether from adsense or an affiliate product. The key to the success of these sites is building links back to them. Starting a blog to support your main sites is a great way to build links.

You will probably look for a free blog platform when starting a blog to support your main site. There are a couple well known sites for this, such as blogger.com and wordpress.com, however, there are actually hundreds of this type of site online. It is a wise idea to spread out your network over a bunch of different platforms instead of keeping all of your support blogs in one place.

Most beginners take the easy way and build all their support blogs on one network. This is a huge mistake, especially if you haven’t read the terms of service for each platform. This may be easy to keep organized and easy to find, but it can be a huge mistake. Free blog platforms are easy to set up on, but they also own your content. They have the power to delete not only one blog, but your entire account. If you have all of your support blogs on one platform and they decide to delete your account you have nothing to show for your hard work. It’s much better to spread things out over a bunch of sites than to risk everything on one.

So what do you write about when starting a blog for supporting another site? The exact same topic, same keywords? It’s best to do your support blogs about a wider niche, so you can include your keywords for your current site, but also so you can include keywords about other sites you may do in the future as well as other sites you like you might want to link to.

When starting a blog to support your main site make sure you always use your keywords to link back to your main site. You never want people clicking on the words “click here” or something like that. Using the teach your golden retriever to stay you would want those exact words to be the anchor text for your link. They would be the words underlined in blue that people would actually click on to go to your main site. This is the only way a support blog will actually support your main site, if you are using keyword anchor text in your posts. If you are doing anything else you are wasting your time.

Creating a support network for your niche sites is a great way to help them improve their search engine rankings. Starting a blog on a free platform is one of the easiest ways to get your support network started. It can seem overwhelming, but remember as you build this network it will be available to you to use on future sites as well.

Lead generation is the most important step in any business. More the number of leads you can generate, more the customers your business will get. If you have a bottleneck in generating leads, you must try the methods advocated by Attraction Marketing.

You may have already discovered the limitations of conventional ways of trying to dial up phone numbers from a list and getting discouraged on encountering a disinterested prospect or realizing that your relatives and friends are irritated by your sales talks. TV and Radio is far too expensive. However, if you want to succeed in your business, then you cannot afford to give up but must think out-of-the-box.

Most people are turned off by sales speeches. They will look around, get attracted to objects of interest, gather information and eventually make the purchase. So the psychological learning from this observation is that – it is important to get your products to attract people rather than talking to them endlessly about how nice your products are. This is the principle of Attraction Marketing, whose main tenets are:

1. Choose the right type of prospects ” Know clearly what type of people would be attracted to your product; their lifestyle, their likes and dislikes, their ambitions and attitudes. Also understand the features and benefits of your products.

2. Image of the Marketer ” Being perceived as a specialist in your field is highly profitable to your business. When in doubt, people refer a specialist and this is the most important thing that will attract leads to you.

3. Being visible in the right places – You must ensure that you are visible at those places frequented by the members of your target audience.

4. Taking permission from prospects: It is unbelievable but true of human psychology that if you take permission of the prospect, he is more likely to listen to what you have to say, which otherwise he will not listen to, if you were trying to push it down his ears.

5. Providing the right bait – People are attracted to freebies and trial offers. You must offer freebies, trial packs, money back guarantees or a low risk product trial (E.g. $1 for a 30 day trial) as bait.

6. Keep in touch ” Regular contact develops trust and the prospect may get converted to a customer in due course. So keep in touch with regular information updates and promotional offers. Do not try to close the sale by force. Allow the prospect to decide when he wants to buy.

Attraction Marketing promises to generate a large number of leads without ever going out and contacting people. On the contrary, people will contact you for your products and services.
