Travel with Pets

Do you travel a lot? Taking care of your pets are not easy when you are traveling with your pets. If so, there are a number of things you will want to remember.

If traveling by car, make sure your pet is accustomed to driving. A first-time traveler could suddenly panic, become ill, cry incessantly, or otherwise make your trip a nightmare. Begin with short trips and keep an upbeat attitude, taking your pet home afterwards and making sure the whole experience is a positive one, starting with short trips and increasing the length until you are sure your pet can travel well. If your pet is unable to travel, consider finding someone to care for him in your absence or you may need to consider something to calm the pet. (We prefer natural remedies such as Bach’s Rescue Remedy, which is a “human” product that is great for anti-anxiety.)

Make sure the pet is safe within the car. Usually this means being confined to a carrier, or with a special dog seatbelt for larger breeds. It is dangerous for everyone if a pet suddenly moves around the vehicle, potentially causing an accident. Being confined also helps protect the pet in an accident (secure the carrier within the vehicle) and also prevents the sudden escape of a pet in an unfamiliar place at stops.

NEVER leave your pet alone in the vehicle. If the temperatures are warm or hot, your pet could suffer or possibly die from the build up of heat within the car. Even if the temperatures are moderate, you risk someone breaking in to steal the pet or to “rescue” him from being left locked in a vehicle. In many locations it is also illegal to leave an animal unattended in a vehicle.

Prostate health

Prostate cancer is a very common cancer in older American men, and various symptoms of benign prostate enlargement (BPE) can sometimes begin as early as in the 20’s. A number of natural supplements are available to help protect prostate health.

Consider the following:

Saw Palmetto - treats symptoms of BPE (reported to be as effective as prescription treatments but with no side effects, and as an added bonus may also help reduce the effects of male pattern baldness at the time time); must be taken regularly; a standard dosage may be 320 mg daily

Pumpkin seed oil - treats symptoms of BPE, alone or in combination formulas with saw palmetto; a standard dosage can be 160 mg. with meals (three times a day); look for a formula that is standardized for fatty acid content; many men also eat the pumpkin seeds themselves

Nettles - can help reduce symptoms of BPE; either alone or in combination formulas containing saw palmetto and/or pygeum, typical recommendation is 120 mg. capsule twice per day

Google Update

The last Google update was unexpectedly late. Based on that, the next update would be around August. Of course, no one can really tell what Google might be thinking.

We have been in SEO businesses for long enough to know that thigns are pretty much unpredictable. It’s similar to the fact that the more you learn, the more you discover how much you don’t know.

Even though SEO is more about knowledge rather than skills as some so-called SEO experts want to express like that, often just to impress someone who don’t know much about SEO.

In any case, as one of the most common advertising tool, we are looking forward to have a decent PR soon. It seems that Google tends to count backlinks that are established 1 month before the update. So, any backlink you gained 2 weeks or even 3 weeks before may not be counted. We have experienced that often, and this means that our promotion must be finalized soon. Only 1 month left before the update. Good luck to all the SEO marketers and webmasters.

Smart Shopping

Know the best stores

The best advice for general retail shopping:

Check out all the local stores within a certain category and compare prices (write them down along with exact item brands, sizes, model #, etc.).  For example, go to every hardware store and check their prices on a particular faucet, a particular brand of closet shelving, 1×6 clear pine lumber, 1 gal of a particular kind of paint, etc. Generally you will find that one store is consistently better than the other in every category. Then you will know which hardware store to visit whenever you need an item they stock. The same can be done with variety-type stores, bedding stores, and even grocery stores although with grocery stores you need to consider regular, not sale prices.

For all those things you need quickly that don’t cost too much, this is the best method. It would cost too much in time and gasoline to drive all over town comparing prices all the time. It even costs too much in time and frustration calling all over for pricing.

Site promotion

We have being promoting this site, waiting for the next Google update for PR. We are expecting to gain PR4 at least. Once we have a good PR, we will start our services, taking requests for the contextual text link advertising.

While we do focus on SEO very much, it was rather a surprise to see our site ranked top 3 in the Google SERP in June. It is great for our site to get good amount of traffic already. The only thing we need now is site PR as advertisers are expecting the link juice as well as a quality backlink.

Our site promotion has been great, but we realize that we will need more aggressive promotion campaign before its launch. The next Google update is expected around July 15 to 20th. We are preparing for the launch.
