Despite all of these facts and figures, however, MySpace is still by far the most popular social networking site, and that is a situation that seems unlikely to change in the near future.

Now, all of the major community sites do emphasize that the main function is to provide a means for people from all over the world to network with one another.

It would therefore be fair to suggest that most of these sites have (as far as it is possible) tried to discourage and prevent people from viewing them as commercially orientated sites.

In other words, sites like MySpace and Facebook do not want their communities used by members promoting their products or services to other members. Despite the fact that it is owned by the Fox Corporation, even MySpace is no exception to this rule, and has gone to some lengths to prevent the site becoming a huge online auction or bazaar by another name.

Nevertheless, many smart online marketers and internet entrepreneurs have managed to promote their businesses, products and services through the MySpace site and community, and have made considerable amounts of money doing so too.

This being the case, many marketers are looking at doing the same with Facebook, and therefore we need to establish what similarities and differences there are between these two sites.

This will assist in establishing whether a similar business model to the one that is now all too commonly applied to MySpace will work with Facebook.

So, let us take a very quick look at how products and services are marketed on MySpace.

Effectively, and at its very simplest and most basic, when you sign up for a MySpace account you will then build your own 'space' which is a very simple mini-website that tells the world all about you.

So, in this 'space', you would probably include full details about yourself, your interests and hobbies, perhaps pictures, videos, musical and rock band preferences, and so on.

The nature of the MySpace social network is that you are then expected to go out into the community and find new friends who have similar interests to yours.

Hypnosis has gotten a bad rap of the past century. It is commonly misrepresented in movies, on television, and is often to butt of jokes. Hypnotists entertain people by getting them to cluck like a chicken on stages, under the guise of hypnosis.

Many people do not realize that there is a long history behind hypnosis. Over history, hypnosis was know to be an effective healing method.

People think that when you are hypnotized that you lose complete control over yourself and your surroundings. This is simply fictionalized for entertainment purposes and is untrue.

Some people even think that bringing yourself into a state of hypnosis is demonic or evil. Hypnosis is simply a stage of conscious awareness.

Lastly, some people think that only some people are hypnotizable. You have to believe in hypnosis for it to work, but it can work for everyone.

Search engines are unable to view graphics or distinguish text that might be contained within them. For this reason, most engines will read the content of the image ALT tags to determine the purpose of a graphic. By taking the time to craft relevant, yet keyword rich ALT tags for the images on your web site, you increase the keyword density of your site.

Although many search engines read and index the text contained within ALT tags, it's important NOT to go overboard in using these tags as part of your SEO campaign. Most engines will not give this text any more weight than the text within the body of your site.

Invisible text is content on a web site that is coded in a manner that makes it invisible to human visitors, but readable by search engine spiders. This is done in order to artificially inflate the keyword density of a web site without affecting the visual appearance of it. Hidden text is a recognized spam tactic and nearly all of the major search engines recognize and penalize sites that use this tactic.

This is the technique of placing text on a page in a small font size. Pages that are predominantly heavy in tiny text may be dismissed as spam. Or, the tiny text may not be indexed. As a general guideline, try to avoid pages where the font size is predominantly smaller than normal. Make sure that you're not spamming the engine by using keyword after keyword in a very small font size. Your tiny text may be a copyright notice at the very bottom of the page, or even your contact information. If so, that's fine.

I was in a little convenience store the other day and I saw a sign posted on the cash register. It said something like, “We strive to always be kind, polite, helpful, patient, and courteous. However, it is hard to remember that the object is to drain the swamp when you are up to your behind (cleaned up ?) in alligators.” I laughed of course, but it occurred to me that list building could be described the same way.

Email marketers are busy people. There are alligators at every turn. It’s hard to remember sometimes that without our lists we wouldn’t have a business at all and that list building really is our version of draining the swamp. We really do need to concentrate on draining the swamp and spend less time worrying about the alligators.

There are many opt-in list building techniques that can be used. Some of these techniques you may be familiar with. Others might be ones that you have never thought about.

Working hard at building your opt-in list and using all of the techniques that we will discuss here won’t guarantee your success at email marketing but not working hard at building your opt-in list and not applying everything you can learn to it will most certainly guarantee your failure.

These opt-in list building techniques can be applied to any kind of online business venture. Some kinds of Internet businesses aren’t as dependent upon email as email marketers but all kinds of Internet businesses can profit greatly from an opt-in list that is made up of those who have already made purchases and those who have shown an interest in the products and services being sold by adding their names to an opt-in list.

Many emotional breakdowns are caused by individuals who have not separated from their inner person at childhood. Many mental illnesses in society are complicated because we do not always see to the root of the problem. The child within exists throughout our lifetime and if we do not recognize this “inner child” we tend to suffer from emotional breakdowns. As a result, many professionals struggle to find a way to treat patients with this disorder.

Many of these people were ignored as children and were emotionally neglected and maybe even physically abuse and many have witnessed bad scenes in life that haunt them. Unless the problems are dealt with the issue continues to grow. To contact the inner self the person has to have a basic knowledge of their problem. Once a basic knowledge is situation, the person is then able to move on to the next step.

Once a person has basic understanding of themselves they are able to move forward with the help of therapy. Many diagnoses stem from brain injuries, chemical and physical imbalances. Effective treatment is not always possible until the person is able to deal with their problems.

For example, a schizophrenic was once found to have a disease of the mind because the twin holes of the brain had a larger side to the cavity of the brain. This condition is also genetic and many of these people have disruptive childhoods and will often deny that happenings occurred. As long as the patient is in denial, it is difficult to impossible to treat them.

Another example can also be seen when patients are diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder. These patients were also subjected to trauma in their childhood and the disorder escalates during that experience. The solution for this is to address the child beneath the disorder and then move forward to treat the trigger of the disorder. Once you dig deep enough you will be able to help the patient become acquainted with the child within and then treat the patient more effectively.
