UFO cover-up – PRG urge President Obama to end truth embargo

January 9th, 2010

a_ufo_cover-upThe Paradigm Research Group (PRG) has recently announced “a renewed international effort to convince Barack Obama to end a 62-year truth embargo preventing formal government acknowledgement of an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.”

The following is an extract from the Press Release issued by PRG on January 8, 2010:

“Since June 1, 2009 letters, faxes and emails from around the world have been sent to the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) insisting the reporters in the White House press corps begin asking politically related UFO/ET questions and receive appropriate answers. Samples of this correspondence can be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/yb4wvay and http://tinyurl.com/62748k

The Press Release mentions the thousands of letters, faxes and emails that have been sent to Barack Obama for more than a year, demanding an end to the truth embargo and calling for congressional hearings on the UFO/ET issue, but these have not been acknowledged.

PRG executive director Stephen Bassett stated, “France, Denmark, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Brazil, Russia, the United Kingdom and other countries have recently released tens of thousands of UFO/ET related files into the public domain. The message to the U.S. is clear, if you do not end this truth embargo, one of us will.” Bassett added “Either Russia or China would benefit enormously by acting first on this issue”

For those who take the UFO subject seriously, and there are many of us who do, there seems to be no doubt that important information is being withheld.

The most famous “cover-up” is probably the Roswell incident, where evidence seems to suggest that an alien craft crash landed in New Mexico and alien inhabitants were discovered at the site. However, despite the presence of a number of believable witnesses and an initial admission from the authorities that an alien craft was recovered, the story changed dramatically within a matter of hours. The Alien craft quickly became a “weather balloon” and the rest is history.

Stephen Bassett is of course correct that many countries have released thousands of files, which were previously classified, about UFO and Alien sightings. Whether these files account for all of the reports received by the authorities is uncertain.

I have studied many of these old reports, and whilst some are certainly mysterious, the majority are fairly routine and can perhaps be explained. There are many more recent sightings that would also be interesting to read about, but maybe we will have to wait another 20 years before these reports are released?

Whilst I would agree that all governments should release this information, they clearly had some reason for keeping it a secret. With that thought in mind, can we really expect them to come clean now?

If there is some cover-up in the US, as the evidence would suggest, there must be some truth to these rumours. As they say “There is no smoke without fire”

Has there been some Alien contact with certain individuals on our planet? And if there has, why is this being kept from us? Has some deal been made and the gift of “new” technology the price paid for silence? Does Obama know the real truth, or is he kept in the dark also?

I personally feel that the government/authorities can not be trusted to provide the answers that we seek and this task will rest on those that have researched this subject for such a long time.

There are many excellent sites that are involved in providing professional reports on UFO and Alien sightings, not to mention the thousands of people who take the trouble to investigate these events (in their own time and at their own expense). But perhaps what we need is to work together more and gather the information in a more productive way?

Our goal is, and always has been, to obtain proof that UFO’s and life on other planets exist. We can not rely on a government to help us with this work and must increase our efforts to uncover the truth for ourselves.

This is no easy task, and it will require the development of greater investigative skills, and perhaps an element of danger? In order to obtain more credibility for UFO research (from members of the public who do not share our belief), we must make an effort to reduce the number of reports that can be ridiculed because of their lack of substance and quickly denounce those that are clearly hoaxes.

However, that said, I applaud the efforts made by the Paradigm Research Group, and this attempt should be supported. It may not produce the results required, but there is certainly no harm in trying.

If you have any suggestions on how we can overcome the “cover-up” problem for ourselves, please drop me a line with your ideas.

Total Recall – Choose the dream you want with hypnosis!

Dream Hypnosis Download

Dream Hypnosis Download

We all remember the film “Total Recall”, where Douglas Quaid (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) decides to take a “vacation” with a company called “Rekall”, who sell imaginary adventures by implanting false memories.

Be honest, after seeing that film didn’t you wish (if only secretly) you could experience an adventure like that?

Quaid chose to go to Mars and was able to select who he would be, what he would do, and who would keep him company (in this case a brunette woman).

Wouldn’t it be great if you could live out a fantasy like that? But that’s only possible in Science Fiction, isn’t it?

Maybe not! What if you could create the dreams you want by using a specially designed Hypnosis Download, so that you too can decide the plot, the location and who appears in it?

Unlike Rekall’s adventure, which created a plot around Quaid’s request, this new hypnosis download allows you to make the dream almost exactly the way you want it.

How accurate your dream will be depends very much on the detail you think of when listening to the download. If you were to think of a trip to Mars (like Quaid), the result would be limited to the knowledge your sub-conscious has of that planet. If, like me, you have no memories of Mars (except from films), the dream may not be very convincing.

However, if you try to think of things or people that you know, this will produce much better results, as your sub-conscious will be able to use the information stored in your memory to much greater effect.

Are there any limits to what you can dream about? Not really, the only limit is your mind. We have probably all experienced incredible dreams in our time, where we have been doing things we wouldn’t dare consider in real life, or having special powers that do not exist in the real world.

One of the good points about the Fantasy Dream Hypnosis Download, is the ability of the user to choose a subject without anyone else knowing. This means you can select the wildest topic imaginable, and no one will know your secret. It can of course be used as many times as you like, and at just £9.95 it is a lot less than Douglas Quaid paid for his trip!

A question that is often raised about hypnosis is the safety aspect and whether there are any dangers in trying to manipulate the mind. The simple answer to that is No. Hypnosis is not “Black Magic” or a tool of the “Devil”, these descriptions were introduced hundreds of years ago (when people were burnt at the stake for being different).

Hypnosis is commonly used nowadays to treat Phobias and Fears, to help people stop smoking, lose weight, gain confidence, overcome blushing and much more. Even doctors are suggesting patients could try hypnosis, if more traditional treatment fails to help (especially for patients with terminal diseases), as hypnosis can be very effective at reducing pain.

Although hypnosis works for most people, some take longer to hypnotise than others. There can be a number of reasons for this: some are afraid to be hypnotised and fear that they will be told to do terrible things if they lose control, some respond differently to the way suggestions are made, and others perhaps don’t take it seriously.

Many find it hard to believe, but hypnosis can not force people to do things they wouldn’t normally do (especially if you consider them dangerous).

Apart from encouraging you to relax, sleep and have dreams based on your own suggestions (with the help of hypnosis), this download has no other purpose.

Perhaps one day a machine, like that seen in Total Recall, will be available, but until then hypnosis is a perfectly good way to achieve much the same.

Hazel Blears “Rocking the Boat” but will Brown sink?

June 4th, 2009

rocking_the_boatOnce again the speculation begins about the future of the Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who must have given up wondering if things can get any worse.

The last few weeks must surely have been the worst he has experienced in his political career, what with the MP’s expenses row and numerous resignations.

Hazel Blears is the latest minister to resign, but this was probably not too surprising as Brown almost certainly was going to either fire or demote her in a cabinet shuffle. Blears was angry with the Prime Minister for not giving her the same support other ministers had received over expenses claims.

Blears may not have been Gordon Brown’s greatest fan, but she frequently showed loyalty to the party in defending him when he was under attack. You would think, under the circumstances, that Brown would be keen to hang onto all the supporters he can find.

Gordon Brown faced a potential challenge for the leadership in September last year and managed to survive, but will he be so lucky this time?

David Cameron, the leader of the Conservative party, has suggested that Brown should step down and a new election be called, but the Conservatives would have a much easier chance of winning an election if Brown remains as the leader.

Those who might replace Brown could be Alan Johnson, David Milliband, James Purnell or Harriet Harman, but it is unlikely that Brown will volunteer to stand aside. Gordon Brown spent many years dreaming of being Prime Minister and he will hang on to the position until he is pushed, or loses in a general election.

At the moment many may see the Conservatives as the only credible party to lead the country out of its present mess, but there are absolutely no guarantees they will do any better.

It is interesting that the UK is following a similar path to that seen in the United States, where the recently elected President impressed voters with his smooth talking and promises of “Change”. David Cameron also has a good way with words, and has also adopted the “Change” slogan.

Unfortunately, it does not seem to matter who we vote for nowadays. The faces and promises may seem different, but the end results are usually the same. Perhaps what we need most of all is not a change of politicians, but a closer look at the system and the people who really run the show!

Britain’s Got Talent show – A new kind of torture?

June 2nd, 2009

britainsgottortureSimon Cowell may not be the most liked person on television, but in truth he is just a guy who very effectively uses a “tabloid” approach to TV shows, you could say “he knows how to sell papers”.

The public have been glued to their TV sets in their millions, perhaps openly showing disgust at the cruelty of it all, but secretly enjoying every painful moment.

With the greatest respect to those who took part, it was not their abilities that the public sat down to see, but the emotional reactions they displayed when being judged. Let’s be honest, we have all seen better acts in our local clubs.

There has been a great deal of criticism about allowing children onto the talent show, and even Cowell was quoted as saying “the events had really made him think about having children on the show”

In the run-up to the final we saw Aidan Davis, a 12-year-old street dancer in tears, and then the agony of 10 year old Hollie Steel, who also broke down in tears after forgetting the words of the song. After watching the poor kid in hysterics for several minutes, she was eventually given a second chance.

And what of the hot favourite for the show, Susan Boyle? She was clearly finding it difficult to perform in the final and her face said it all (giving the impression she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown). Her whole body was visibly shaking as she awaited the final result and almost seemed relieved when the result went to the dance group Diversity (deserved winners I might add).

The Media, who helped to make Boyle a household name worldwide by promoting her singing talent, very quickly turned on her and should share the blame for her present situation. It has been suggested that Susan Boyle should have been psychologically tested by producers before she was allowed onto the show and that she has learning difficulties after being starved of oxygen at birth.

It was perhaps fairly clear from Boyle’s first appearance on the talent show that she was not exactly a candidate for Mastermind (I mean that in the nicest possible way), and perhaps the producers chose to ignore this factor because they felt it would make “good television”?

Despite Boyle’s alleged “learning difficulties”, she still has a wonderful voice and deserved the chance of success the same as anyone else. The problem is not about the contestants, but the way in which they are judged.

If the Britain’s Got Talent show was run in much the same way as an earlier show called “Opportunity Knocks”, there wouldn’t be any of the complaints we are seeing at the moment.

The host of Opportunity Knocks, Hughie Green, would never have been so critical as to have kids crying on stage, and the viewers decided who should win (they were the judges).

Sadly, it is the public that allow shows like BGT to do the things they do by watching it, and people like Simon Cowell are simply giving the public what they secretly crave for (and making a fortune from it at the same time).

The public have always had a morbid interest in torture and this goes back thousands of years (throwing people in an arena with lions, hangings, beheadings, floggings etc.). If you were to place a video on the internet showing a violent act to another human being (as many do), you can guarantee it would receive a huge amount of hits.

Britain’s Got Talent follows an age old tradition of making torture a form of entertainment, and there is no shortage of people looking to satisfy their lust by watching it. Some things never change!

Prostitution – Selling Sex, what’s new?

May 7th, 2009

prostituteDespite being the oldest profession in the world, some people still find it difficult to accept prostitution as a part of life. Objections to prostitutes (or perhaps sex workers is a kinder term) come from all quarters: Those that use them and pretend to object (to hide their secret), from women who see them as rivals, and from men who have been hurt by a woman and direct their anger at prostitutes (who they perhaps see as extreme versions of the woman that hurt them).

People use prostitutes for many different reasons, too many to list in a single article, but the most popular is probably the ability to obtain the kind of sex they can’t get from their partner and of course the excitement of tasting the proverbial “forbidden fruit”.

I read with interest the article “Decriminalize Prostitution!”, which was a response to one written by Martha Rosenburg called “Craigslist Killers Constant Danger for Erotic Service Providers”.

The author of the “Decriminalize Prostitution!” article is a sex worker and she raises some important points regarding the stereotyping of prostitutes and their clients. Not all prostitutes are hooked on drugs, and not all clients are unattractive.

By making prostitution illegal, we are inviting the criminal elements into the business, and this is where the main problem exists. Many countries have made gambling illegal, but this does not stop people from having the desire to gamble, or eliminate those who provide a service to cater for their needs. Surely, it is better for all concerned to keep such things in the open, where they can be better controlled and monitored?

Whilst there are many women who are forced into prostitution, these are usually victims of criminals who “blackmail” them into doing this work (because of visa irregularities, having their passports taken or other offences). It is these women who are perhaps more likely to turn to drugs, or carry sexually transmitted diseases.

Oddly enough, sexually transmitted diseases are more often passed on by women who are not prostitutes. This is because most prostitutes are aware of the dangers and take more precautions. They are also more knowledgeable about the symptoms of such diseases and will obtain treatment (if required) much more quickly than the average person, who out of ignorance will wait until the condition is more advanced before taking action (and spreading the disease much further in the meantime).

Personally, I believe prostitutes provide a very valuable service to the community, enabling certain people to obtain sexual satisfaction (that may be difficult or sometimes impossible under normal circumstances), and allowing clients to live out the fantasies that their partners can not (or will not) provide.

It is perhaps true that many men are afraid to discuss their “fantasies” with their girlfriends/wives, for fear of being considered a “pervert”, or maybe losing their partner completely. However, some men may be surprised to discover that their partners “share” an interest in less “usual” sex, but are also frightened to bring up the subject. For those who would like to experiment in different areas, try and find a way of discussing your interests (and those of your partner), before resorting to outside pursuits. But be sure not to force your interests onto your partner, if they clearly object to the idea.

Many are led to believe that “unusual sex” is abnormal or perverted, and in some people’s eyes this may be true. But if two consenting adults enjoy this kind of activity and it doesn’t affect anyone else, where’s the harm? There is one “dating site” that caters for people with such interests and they have a membership of around 3 million! Alternative Lifestyles can cover many areas, but in sex this usually refers to things like bondage, fetishes, domination, submission, sexual roleplaying and S&M (sadomasochism).

Sadly, society still has a very old-fashioned view of sex and we are constantly made to feel ashamed of performing the most natural of acts. By making it difficult for some to use the services of sex workers, we are perhaps forcing many to obtain their satisfaction in less acceptable ways, which is clearly a more dangerous scenario.

A prostitute, according to the dictionary, is a person involved in a sexual activity for money, and to most people this means a girl standing on the street in a short skirt and fishnet stockings. But let’s examine that definition a little more. How many women have accepted an invitation from a guy, knowing that it will be a “one night stand”, sex will take place and the man will pay for the meal and drinks etc? Some women may respond by saying that they weren’t looking for a serious relationship and wanted sex just as much as the man. The man may say he didn’t give the woman “cash”, so it was not the same as using a prostitute, but is it any different? Prostitutes often enjoy having sex with clients (they have the same needs as everyone else), yet just because they receive cash instead of a meal, they are looked on badly. Surely, their approach is more honest by not pretending the encounter is something it is not? Those who marry for money are also rarely referred to as prostitutes, but most use sex to achieve this. Why do people see some types of prostitution more acceptable than others?

I strongly believe that prostitution should be made legal, which will eventually eliminate most of the criminal involvement, the health risks and the dangers to sex workers. At the same time we should encourage couples to talk more openly about their sexual needs (by not judging their desires and making them feel guilty) and this could reduce the need to obtain sexual satisfaction outside of a relationship.

New “Star Trek” technology discovers planet in another Solar System

May 4th, 2009

close-up-of-new-planetWhilst NASA have made great discoveries with the Hubble Telescope, most of us have been unable to see the images in a form that we recognize or understand (actual photographs of planets) and have had to rely on an artists impression of the object.

However, maybe that will all change now with the use of APEP (Advanced Photographic Extraction Process), a technique that can extract the smallest details from an existing image and enlarge it.

Using this new technology, the inventor (Ron Stewart) has selected a small area in the Orion Nebula to demonstrate the abilities of the APEP, using a photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope.

We have created a special page to display the various stages of this process, which you can see by clicking HERE. The inventor has provided a number of photographs, beginning with a Star in the Orion Nebula that is barely visible to the naked eye, to an incredible close-up of this same “Red Star”, its Solar System, and a Gas Giant clearly visible in orbit around this Sun.

You will also find further information on the APEP technology, explaining how it works.

If this new technology can provide such detail in a distant Solar System, imagine what could be achieved by looking at objects much closer (like Mars for example).

Ron Stewart is hoping that a High Definition upgrade to APEP will increase the power of the system by 500%, perhaps allowing the detail we have seen from Rovers on Mars, without having to travel to the planet to obtain them.

UFO, Alien and Space Merchandise

Maybe, in the very near future, we will be able to observe sufficient detail on other planets (not in our Solar System), that will determine whether life exists there or not. If we can “zoom in” close enough to see structures, we will also be able to view Seas, rivers and maybe even modes of transport? If the images reveal an advanced civilization, this might also provide an answer to the many UFO sightings that have been reported on our own planet for so many years.

If the APEP technology is as good as it would seem, we can only hope that the process receives the support it needs to develop to its full capacity. Such an invention would certainly bring a new meaning to “Star Trek”, in a literal sense.

For those of you wishing to find out more about APEP and perhaps putting this process to the test with a project of your own, you will find contact details on the special page we have created.

Swine Flu – a natural event or something more sinister?

April 26th, 2009

swine_fluOver the last few years we have seen an increase in “unusual” viruses appearing, like SARS and more recently Avian flu, all of which have caused fears of a potential “pandemic”.

The latest outbreak in Mexico of “Swine Flu” is perhaps the most worrying yet, because of the number of deaths already seen and its apparent ability to spread quickly to other countries.

As the name suggests “Swine Flu” is a virus that normally affects pigs, or occasionally humans who have had close contact with pigs. However, this latest swine flu outbreak consists of a new or rare strain, making it very difficult to offer the public an effective vaccine.

Some of the Symptoms to watch out for with this virus are: a fever of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius), body aches, coughing, a sore throat, respiratory congestion and, in some cases, vomiting and diarrhea.

Unlike the more usual flu viruses, this “Swine flu” outbreak does not seem to be affecting old people and young children in quite the same way. It is not unusual for older people to have some immunity to certain viruses, as they may have experienced these earlier in their lives. But it is unclear why young children have been so lucky, so far.

One of the most well known flu pandemics occurred in 1918-1919, killing around 40 million people. With the increased population we have today and the ability for people to travel more freely, and quickly, there is a very real danger that the death toll could be considerably larger if a pandemic of that nature was repeated.

According to WHO (World Health Organization), at least 81 people have died as a result of this virus in Mexico, and reports are coming in from many other locations (around the world) of people who might be suffering with this virus.

With no vaccine available yet, the best course of action would appear to be prevention. Many people have taken to wearing masks, but the demand for these has created a shortage of supplies. If you are looking at this method of protection, we would recommend ordering a good supply of masks as quickly as you can.

3M
Nexcare All purpose Mask Nexcare All-purpose Mask: Case of 60

The fact that this Mexico virus contains an apparently new strain has produced some suggestions that this was not a natural occurrence, but the latest attempt to depopulate the planet.

In an article called “Something Wicked This Way Comes” the author refers to a story that appeared in the Seguin, Texas Gazette-Enterprise newspaper announcing “an American county is organizing a mock response drill to prepare health care workers, police, and “volunteers” for the coming, “inevitable” pandemic.” This article was dated March 19 2009.

The “PANDEMIC VACCINE TRAINING” exercise in Texas was scheduled to occur on Saturday, May 2, 2009. The author of the article on Rense.com went on to say “Just as NORAD was conducting “mock” terrorist drills on the morning of September 11, 2001 - could this May 2 event be TIMED to announce the release of the planned pandemic and the eventual advent of martial law in North America?”

Whilst this may sound like some wild “conspiracy theory” to most, there are a growing number of people who wouldn’t rule out the possibility of certain governments using tactics like these.

We have all seen governments (like in the US) spending money as if they know something will happen in the future to make this irrelevant. Some leaders have been promoting the idea of a NWO (New World Order) and what better way to create such a situation than having a global disaster (pandemic or financial collapse) to force people into accepting a new era of “change”?

The amount of control placed on the public over the last decade by the authorities, has increased considerably (new laws, rules, restrictions and surveillance). A global disaster would enable governments to increase this without limits and use the new laws they have introduced to make it “legal”.

Although you may find articles about the “Swine flu” outbreak on the mainstream media and the dangers to various countries if this should become a pandemic, you won’t find too many mention the potential dangers to your freedom if this happens. However, some alternative News sites (like Rense.com and others) are not afraid to publish articles that look at all the possible scenarios.

UFO sightings in UK - Declassified files support ET existence

March 22nd, 2009

Reconstruction of A9 UFO sighting

Reconstruction of A9 UFO sighting

More than a thousand pages of documentation, covering UFO sightings between 1987 and 1993, were made public for the first time on Saturday, revealing information that can only be considered as stunning.

Whilst the documents do not provide absolute proof of the existence of aliens, at least one of the reports offers sufficient mystery to suggest that we are not alone.

On August 4, 1990 near the A9, at Calvine, north of Pitlochry, a diamond shaped UFO was seen hovering in daylight. According to two witnesses, the UFO hovered for about 10 minutes, during which time military aircraft were also seen making a series of low-level passes. The craft later flew up into the sky at a great speed.

The witnesses took a number of photographs and at least six of these were given to the Daily Record newspaper, who in turn presented these to the Ministry of Defence. A report was prepared for the then Under Secretary of State (Sir Archie Hamilton) on September 14, 1990, informing him that the Scottish Daily Record might run a story on the UFO sighting.

The photographs, which were not published, showed a jet aircraft flying nearby. Further investigation revealed that this was a Harrier and that a second jet (possibly another Harrier) may also be visible in one of the photographs.

The MoD (Ministry of Defence) had no idea where the Harriers had come from and the sighting remains a mystery.

Similar shaped craft have been considered as US Air Force Stealth fighters, but none have been reported “hovering” before. And even if it was, what was it doing there and why did the Harriers appear to investigate the craft (wouldn’t they have been informed of such an operation beforehand?)

The sighting was certainly taken seriously by the authorities at the time, but as we have seen so many times before, the information was withheld, until now!

But why release this information now, after keeping it secret for almost 19 years?

It seems hard to believe that the increase in sightings recently, together with a more relaxed stance by the UK and US on revealing previously secret UFO information, not to mention the Vatican’s changed views on alien life, is all a coincidence. What is going on?

Are we (the public) being prepared for alien contact in the very near future, or is this, as some people believe, the first step in a “fake” alien visit, designed to trick the public into accepting new conditions and control?

The release of the declassified files confirm that the authorities chose to keep important information from us (for a very long time) and it is only natural that many people will question their motives for allowing us to see this now. I don’t know about others, but I’m always suspicious of governments who “volunteer” certain information, yet refuse to release details in other areas (like the JFK assassination or 9/11).

Could Global Warming create a real “Waterworld”?

March 16th, 2009

waterworldAccording to a report in the National Geographic “Sea levels around New York City and much of the U.S. Northeast will rise twice as much as in other parts of the United States this century, according to new climate models.”

In the last century, sea levels have risen at a rate of 1.8 mm per year, but between 1993 – 2003, this increased to 3.1 mm a year.

There are many conflicting reports on Global Warming, and some have pointed out that certain areas have seen their coldest weather in many years. This is of course true, some places have experienced extreme conditions, but many others have witnessed the hottest periods in more than 100 years.

So what does that mean? Can we expect temperatures to continue rising, or is an ice-age on the way?

In a study published online today in the journal Nature Geoscience, seas in New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. area will rise 14 to 20 inches (36 to 51 centimeters) by 2100.

The primary contributor to the current rising sea levels is thermal expansion, but melting continental ice sheets also play a part.

During a previous interglacial period (120,000 years ago), sea levels were 6 meters higher than they are today, something that has happened many times before in our history. But will it happen again this century or the next?

Since the last glacial maximum (20,000 years ago), temperatures rose dramatically during the first 13 thousand years, and whilst the levels have still increased, the speed has slowed down markedly in the last 7 thousand years.

Promote your business and make money helping others to do the same. CLICK HERE for details

This does not mean the warming period is coming to an end, but it does not seem to suggest we are heading for incredibly high sea levels either.

It would of course help if we knew what was causing the climatic change in the first place, a regular event on our planet (over many millions of years). Man-made pollution did not cause the problem in the past (we weren’t there!), and almost certainly is not causing it now. However, it suits certain people to believe we have a hand in it, but they are wrong (sorry Al, time to give that award back!)

I still believe (and have done for many years) that the real cause of our current climatic change is due to some cosmic influence. We pass around our galaxy once every 250 million years (approximately) and our historic records show similar changes around these times. Is it not more likely that we pass through an area in our galaxy that causes this? Have we not seen events in our universe that have been so powerful, they have affected Sun’s much bigger than our own?

Whilst a “Waterworld” will one day appear on our planet again, most of the rising water seems to be located in the heads of scientists who have no vision beyond what they can see, or have read in a book. Thankfully, the truly great scientists made much more effort and were less afraid of putting their reputations on the line. If they hadn’t, we would probably still be living in caves, without electric or telephones, afraid to travel in case we fell off the edge of the world, and seeing no importance in an apple falling from a tree!

Can’t afford to advertise? – Can you afford not to?

March 13th, 2009

closer_look_at_advertisingWhen times are tough, we all look to economize, but there are some things we must avoid if we are to have any chance of surviving.

In order to make people aware of our existence, we need to advertise. How else can they find out about the great products and service that we offer?

We would all like to appear in the number one spot on Google when people search for the things we have to offer, but how many of you reading this are that lucky? And how many of you (who are that lucky) can be certain you will still be in the number one spot tomorrow, or next week?

Everyone is aware of the power of Google, they have cornered the market as far as searching is concerned, and their “Google Ads” are everywhere!

I’m sure you have heard the news recently that Google are now introducing “Interest-based” advertising on its partner sites and on YouTube. Google said “it is launching interest-based advertising with three important features that demonstrate its commitment to transparency and user choice, and control.”

Google claim that “Users get more useful ads, and these more relevant ads generate higher returns for advertisers and publishers,” But who really gains the most from this and who really has the “control”?

It is not that cheap to be involved in Google’s advertising schemes, and like most advertising, there are no guarantees that the hits will convert into sales. Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter to Google whether you make a sale or not, they win whatever the result.

And with their ability to apply sophisticated techniques to their marketing methods, it is getting almost impossible to compete, forcing people to use their services or face extinction. But does it have to be that way?

Promote your business and make money helping others to do the same!ProFindSearch have just introduced a new scheme that is an attempt to offer an alternative course. It is not expecting to rival Google in any way (I don’t think anyone is capable of that), but simply to provide some additional choice.

Basically, the scheme is to provide low cost advertising. ProFindSearch does not have a fraction of the hits that Google receive (who does?), but if the interest in the scheme is sufficient, it will attract visitors who are looking for more traditional advertisers. Businesses that haven’t needed to increase their prices to cover advertising costs!

As ProFindSearch is a small search engine in its own right, visitors can search for what they need in the usual way. The only difference is that advertisers have a much better chance of being found on ProFindSearch than they would on Google (because there are less entries). Imagine trying to get noticed on Google for the search term “Software Games” (126,000,000 entries).

Of course, more people will use Google than ProFindSearch, but if a visitor can’t find you in the first 3 pages, does it really matter? The whole point of advertising is to get noticed, so which is better, a site with massive traffic where no one sees you, or a site with thousands, where you can get noticed?

You can find out more about the FREE ProFindSearch Affiliate Scheme HERE, but basically the idea is to attract members who will place special banners/links on their site (or other appropriate places) in order to encourage others to join. Members receive a commission when a sale is made through this special link (this is available on four levels). They even receive a commission if they purchase an advert for themselves, making the rates even lower than they already are.

All clicks, sales and commission can be viewed in the member’s login area, which is updated in real time. Sales are automatically tracked with a special code built into the link, and a cookie is placed on your visitor’s computer, so that you still get the credit for the sale if they decide to purchase an advert later (up to 365 days)

As people are likely to inspect the advertising area, before purchasing an advert of their own, this increases the chances of existing advertisers getting noticed. So, the more that take part, the greater the chance of attracting a potential customer.

In addition to the advert, there is of course the benefit of having an inbound link to your site and the increased possibility of appearing on one of the other major search engines (most of the adverts are optimized).

For those who wish to promote this scheme but don’t have their own website, you can have the affiliate link built into your advert!

With nothing to lose from taking part in this scheme, it is certainly worth trying. You can promote your own business (cheaply), and make money helping others to do the same.
