Dirty South Radio for the past five years has operated as an Internet radio station serving the hip hop industry. It current traffic for the past two hears has averaged over 10 million hits of traffic per year.

American Biz Inc., dba amBiz Creative, a South Florida Web Design Firm, is now currently managing the radio station with a 25% ownership stake and plans for expansion. In the first phase of expansion, amBiz is doing a complete makeover of the website, page optimization, and SEM (search engine marketing) to increase web traffic organically, and put the website visitors onto a whole new listening platform.

The new Dirty South Radio will broadcast over 25 different listening venues. “As quoted by Nick J. Roy, Vice President and General Manager of amBiz Creative, “The new platform turns the website into a social network, like MySpace, and an audio/video network, like YouTube. Visitors can search for their favorite artist, video, audio, chat, forum, purchase music or video, buld websites from templates, and more.

Artists can upload press release, audio/video, sell product inside our shopping cart (and get paid), and create their own websites. This is the ultimate web programmed platform, it is made to grow like a search engine. And, we are starting off our makeover with over 10,000,000 hit of traffic a year. We estimate our traffic will double in the next 12 months.

808image Web Design is currently in the process of becoming a part of the American Biz family of companies as part of the merger process. When completed, the site will focus exclusively on Hawaii business and their web design and computer networking needs. This merger is providing me with more resources than I can ever imagine.

One of my first projects that I am heading up is the re-design of Dirty South Radio. The site is getting tons of traffic and is not even optimized. Its current success is on popularity alone, and we plan on taking full advantage of this traffic to make money off of it. We are also in the process of creating a new blog and a separate store front to sell his t-shirts.

This site will remain as the main marketing vehicle to promote American Biz products and services. Stay tuned for more updates.

How do dreams start? Do dreams start in our brains? A dream is a form of perception stimulated by some particular sensation. If our eyes are closed and our body’s are shut down, where is the sensation coming from? Can dreams be a form of extrasensory perception (ESP)?

Two main theorists that were prominent in the study of dreams. First there was Sigmund Freud. He believed that dreams were a way to preserve sleep. He was widely contradicted. Carl Jung, an early follower of Freud, later broke away to form his own thinking on a variety of psychological topics. He believed that dreams were a way of helping to develop a persons personality that remained undeveloped while awake. If one was shy when awake, they will be shy while in our dreams.

This contradicts Freud’s ID and Ego theory. The Ego, our conscious state, is the control factor that has the ID, inner desires, under control. The ego suppresses the inner desires so that the only way for it to be released is while dreaming. If our inner desires are so suppressed, our dreams could take on a life of their own.

For example, a successful business person is always busy and on the go. Deep in the mind, they have certain desires, such as being in a biker bar, shooting pool and having a beer with friends. An interesting place to dream about. For those successful business people that their inner desires are so suppressed that their dreams take on a life of their own almost like astral projection, projecting oneself to a place that they really want to be. It is like being in two places at the same time.
Another school of thought that I happen to believe in is that dreams have a sought of problem solving function. By dreaming we work through our issues that we were having trouble with during the day. This probably explains why so many great ideas come about when one was sleeping. One wake up and immediate go turn on the computer and start writing down their newfound thoughts. If we can’t dream, our problems go unresolved, and our stress levels begin to rise which could then lead to self-destruction.

It is very easy to find yourself criticizing an outcome after it already happened. After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, commentators mentioned about why the victims in the second tower did not evacuate after the first plane hit. Whether it is the dot com bubble bursting, a recession looming about, a terrorist attack, or even hiring your next employee, we are all subject to being a Monday morning quarterback, also known as hindsight bias.

One can acquire the tools needed for researching the topic of paranormal, such as thermal imaging cameras or digital electronic recorders to gather evidence. If something was captured on camera, the researcher would experiment to try and recreate the phenomena. If the phenomena cannot be recreated, you have solid evidence to report that there is something paranormal in the research environment you are investigating.

When dealing with topics such as the paranormal, there will be skeptics. Skeptics can turn into believers if they have a first hand experience. Such crazy sounding ideas do find support when subjected to a scientific attitude. Other researchers can further experiment with the time of day. For example, some researchers in this field believe that most spirits manifest during the early morning hours.

To test this, researchers can use a concept called dead time to try and communicate with a spirit. Dead time is where you turn off all electronic devices and electricity such as lights. The environment should be completely dark and quiet.

My kitten, who is a strictly indoor cat, is so qute. She likes to be lay on my desk while I work at the computer. She is fixated with the mouse pointer on the screen. When I move my mouse and the pointer moves, she is  intensely watching where the pointer moves to.

So to those that insist on making money off of these animals by charging a fee, shame on you. It is repulsvive to see ads on this site that require a “small rehoming fee” or “adoption fee.” Shame on you! No matter how you slice it, you are making money off of the buying and selling of animals.

If you are someone that is truly interested in finding a good home for one of your kittens, there are plenty of people out there that will be more than happy to “adopt” one. Remember that pets are not commodities that can bought and sold like soybeans. So can we please stop the cruelty and the greed.

Everything psychological is simultaneously biological.

She said that she needed someone to create an image and profile and marketing effort setting up and maintaining a MySpace page. She claims to be a 30 yr old female, former model now in commercial real estate in New York City trying to get more clients and business. She wants a photo section obviously but also wants to have a Realty Blog section where she can talk about real estate trends, real estate investing, forecasts, recent deal signings, dealmakers, etc that will help her get more business. Basically she is trying to get alot of exposure and more clients.

As I gave this some thought, I responded to her ad with my thoughts on how to effectively utilize social media after thinking about what search engine marketing really is.

Some of the naive people continue to think that seo and search engine marketing are two completely different animals, when in fact, SEO is really a part of SEM. To better help you explain this, take a piece of paper and draw three circles in a triangular pattern. Have one circle at the top, and two circles at the bottom. In the top circle, write in SEM. In the bottom two circles, write in SEO and PPC respectively. What this simple diagram shows is that search engine marketing consists of two categories: search engine optimization and pay-per-click advertising. Search engine optimization, or SEO, is the free, organic links, while Pay-per-click are the paid links. Being ranked in the organic search results has much more value than pay-per-click since most of the clicks come from the organic listings.

I began to tell her that she should start a blog as a standalone brand with its own optimized domain name. To find an optimized domain name, begin thinking about what you want your blog to be about. In this example it would be about real estate investing. Do a check in Overture to see how many searches your targeted keyphrase is attracting. Next, type that phrase into Google with the quotes around it to see how many competing pages are presented. By using quotes, you asking Google to show only those pages that exactly match your keyphrase. This is your primary competition. To be effective at ranking, the number of competing pages should be less than 1,500.

After you have chosen your targeted key phrase and registered it as a domain name, you can create a MySpace profile page that is very simple and basic. Download FriendBlasterPro and use it to find and add friends to your friend list. Next, create a group on MySpace. If you are into real estate, then call the discussion group “Real Estate Investing for Beginners.” Since the audience at MySpace are typically twenty-somethings, you can then tailor this group discussion to the twenty-something crowd that exists on MySpace that interested in real estate.

You can do the same thing by creating a Ryze account. The audience on Ryze is effectively working professionals; so you can create a group also titled “Real Estate Investing.” However, the discussion needs to be tailored towards the working professional since the majority of users on Ryze are working or mid-career professionals. There is one thing to note. To create a group on Ryze, you must upgrade to at least the Gold Membership. The free account does not allow you to create groups.

So if you are a real estate professional looking to establish a web presence, here you have two target markets: the twenty-somethings and the mid-career working professional. By conducting and moderating these group discussions on these two communities, it will expose your blog as a standalone brand and strengthen it; allowing you to be seen as an expert in this area.

Since MySpace and Ryze are both trusted sites in the eyes of Google, this can allow you to effectively use social media to promote your websites, thus increasing your rankings as a result. You will also have incoming links coming from trusted sites that will be related to your blog. When link building, you want to stay away from reciprocal linking since Google is beginning to discount these types of links. Creating discussion forums on sites such as MySpace and Ryze and dropping a link to your web site is a more effective way of link building and using social media.

Craigslist is a great free site for posting ads, but this goes to show that there are numerous bogus job ads on the site. Job seekers, recruiters, and employers should beware of this scam.
