<br />
I put up a website to sell my own eBook recently and have made 2 sales shortly after that.<br />
<br />
Though my traffic mainly comes from Ezinearticles, I am not 100% sure the actual source of the traffic that converts into sale.<br />
<br />
Can someone here recommend a way to track it? By the way, I am using paypal to accept money from buyer.]]></description>

<br />
Now that I'm in Stoneage, it's completely unplayable. I cannot see anything in those two little tunnels, same with the room under the ship. I probably need to flip a light switch or something since it's much darker compared to the first island, but even if I do, I won't be able to find it because all those room are pitch black dark. I looked through the forums here with no mention of this.. so I guess I'm the only one? What can I do? I already restored my touch and reinstalled, it did not help.<br />
<br />
Turning up the brightness on my iPod just turns the contrast up, it still doesn't help, everything is just bright dark.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Cloaked in some very interesting history, Monopoly has been a favourite board game for family and friends in one form or another for over a century. Published in 1999, the Guiness Book of Records even state that the monopoly board game has been played worldwide by over 500 million people making it the world's most played board game.<br />
<br />
Originally made with the idea of teaching people an economic system, monopoly, literally meaning to dominate or simply have one person own everything, relates here to the buying and selling of property and the management of those properties, monopoly has been seen to help with educating people in the realms of business dealings and financial management.<br />
<br />
Originating from a game going by the name, the landlords game, the monopoly board game has evolved to the ones we play today with many different versions and themes available, structured around the ability for one player to create the most wealth to win the game, to monopolize or to own the most, thus creating the most wealth and forcing his opponents into bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The official instructions to the monopoly board game encourage players to adapt the rules or even add additional house rules or perhaps remove a rule to make their playing that bit more unique, however the basis of the original monopoly board game is much the same over.<br />
<br />
To briefly outline just a few of the basics, firstly before the game commences the players decide on who is to be the banker and each player chooses a playing piece, then in an agreed order the players roll the dice to progress clockwise around the playing board. On route the players meet various scenario's including the picking of community chest or chance cards which give instructions for that player to follow, the prospect of ending up in jail or landing on a tax square where a payment has to be made to the bank but the most important strategy is for players to buy up properties, once bought, any other player landing on an owned property will have rent to pay to the owner of that property. If a player can acquire a full set of properties which are related they can then start to enhance that set of properties by purchasing houses and hotels to increase the rent payments due from other players when landing on one of the properties within that set.<br />
<br />
The winner of the game is the player left after the other players have nothing left in money or property terms, but please be aware that this situation sometimes takes a very long time to achieve so perhaps one of your house rules could be a time limit, where the winner of the monopoly game is the player with the most cash and assets after a given time of playing.]]></description>

<br />
To briefly outline just a few of the basics, firstly before the game commences the players decide on who is to be the banker and each player chooses a playing piece, then in an agreed order the players roll the dice to progress clockwise around the playing board. On route the players meet various scenario's including the picking of community chest or chance cards which give instructions for that player to follow, the prospect of ending up in jail or landing on a tax square where a payment has to be made to the bank but the most important strategy is for players to buy up properties, once bought, any other player landing on an owned property will have rent to pay to the owner of that property. If a player can acquire a full set of properties which are related they can then start to enhance that set of properties by purchasing houses and hotels to increase the rent payments due from other players when landing on one of the properties within that set.<br />
<br />
The winner of the game is the player left after the other players have nothing left in money or property terms, but please be aware that this situation sometimes takes a very long time to achieve so perhaps one of your house rules could be a time limit, where the winner of the monopoly game is the player with the most cash and assets after a given time of playing.]]></content:encoded>

			<description><![CDATA[Everyone has been 'buzzing' around the new social media platform launched by Google recently - Google Buzz. There is nothing outstanding about the layout - it's a sort of Twitter meets FriendFeed design. The major difference (and advantage) Buzz has over the existent social networks is that it is integrated into your Gmail account. There are many other interesting features which have been discussed in much detail across the internet, hence in this article I will just concentrate on SEO implications of Google Buzz.<br />
<br />
For Search Engine Optimizers, the two interesting aspects of Google Buzz are:<br />
<br />
   1. The 'implicit' priority that Google Buzz will get on the Google Search Engine<br />
   2. The 'auto-following' - you can leverage Gmail to grow your social network more rapidly (compared with Twitter) since Buzz has a built-in viral feature by auto-following contacts<br />
<br />
For the past few years, Google has moving towards a trend know as 'real-time' or 'blended' search. On your search result page you won't only see organic (free results) and sponsored ads but also images, video, Twitter, MySpace and news posts (all as it happens). The opportunities for SEO here are:<br />
<br />
   1. Google may interpret links from these posts to your website as having some marginal impact on your PageRank.<br />
   2. People may read your tweets, news posts and thereby directly o to your website<br />
   3. The posts themselves may show up on Google searches and give you some temporary visibility for free and for your target keywords.<br />
<br />
I may be speculating here but I believe that Google Buzz might get a slight advantage when it comes to 'real-time' search, after all its Google's baby.<br />
<br />
Or look at it this way - Google is in all ways the dominating Search Engine - a huge monopoly, huge profits to link products to attractive packages and important products to give away for free. Buzz is already linked to Gmail and Google says that public Buzz will be indexed on Google search engines (have a look at the launch video). Google is also indexing Twitter posts; all of this encourages an SEO to see Buzz as a powerful tool.<br />
<br />
Also take a look at YouTube, video posts on Google are heavily biased towards it with respect to other alternative video services. Not really sure if Buzz will outrank Twitter but there is a vast opportunity to be exploited from an SEO perspective.<br />
<br />
Another important point is that you can get a real link from Google.com Many SEO people still like to get links, especially from an authority domain. All your buzzes are extra pages with their own clean URL. The links don't use the infamous no-follow attribute that makes them useless for search engines.<br />
<br />
I believe Google Buzz has a vast opportunity that can be exploited by search engine optimizers. So buzz your way around!]]></description>
