Money Saving Advice

thrifty scot advice money

It is important to shop around and bargain for the cheapest loan available. The loan should provide for options such as cheap mortgage, debt management, IVA help and a secured personal loan. It is essential to get a loan that provides for debt management because debt always creates troubles if it is left unpaid while debt management is an affordable way to deal with debts and other financial obligations.

IVA helps a lender by requiring him to repay an affordable monthly installment for a certain period. Once the final installment for the agreed amount is settled, the outstanding debt is automatically written off. IVA help gives a borrower chance to get out from debt without any repercussions. When a borrower has repaid the agreed-upon sum, he or she is not required to repay the outstanding debt amount. IVA’s legal nature makes it more binding for both lender and borrower. A person can opt for secured personal loans, which maybe received by placing a home or a car or any other valuable asset as collateral. The secured personal loan is advantageous as the interest rate charged is lower than other loans. The repayment terms with secured personal loans are also flexible enough for every borrower. Above all, the secured personal loan helps overcome the problem of bad credit in securing a loan. However, it is important to get a loan that has cheap mortgage option and also buy a Mortgage Payment Protection Policy that combines unemployment, accident and illness cover.

Tips to Improve Your Web Presence

I like making lists - and I like promoting Web sites. So it was an obvious thing to do to create a list of ways to improve and promote a Web site and online presence. Some are obvious, some are bizarre. Some are old, some are new. Many are well know techniques, some are my own personal rambling. Nothing is a statement of fact, merely my own opinion.

1. If you’re launching a new site, or new content, write an introduction and submit it to share sites like Digg, Reddit and Now Public.
2. Create a Yahoo Group in the niche your site sits.
3. Create a MySpace account and use it to publisise your site.
4. Bookmark your site on Del.icio.us and if you’re really keen, add a Del.icio.us button to your homepage.
5. Create a Technorati account and “claim” your blog.
6. Submit your site to free, search engine friendly directories. An excellent list can be found here.
7. Conduct a survey. This is an excellent way to generate offline publicity.
8. Place a free ad for your company on Gumtree.
9. Syndicate your site’s content by using an RSS feeds.
10. Submit your RSS feeds to agregator sites like FeedBurner, Squidoo, Feedboy, Jordomedia, FeedBomb, FeedCat, rssmad, feeddirectory and feedfury. Stolen from DigitalPoint
11. Write an article related to your site and submit it to article sites.
12. Sign up to StumbleUpon and get your friends to Stumble your site.
13. Create a custom 404 page so that even if someone encounters an error on your site, they are re-directed somewhere nice.
14. Set up a 301 redirect to take traffic from your non-www address to your www address. See here for more info.
15. Add a link to your site in the signature of any forums you post on.
16. Tell your friends about your site. It’s free advertising init.
17. Speel cheek ur stie. Nothing appears more amateur than a site with typos or spelling mistakes.
18. Test your site and make sure it appears correctly in all major browsers.
19. Buy enough hosting. No one likes a slow site.
20. Don’t worry about PageRank - worrying about PageRank is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.*
21. Offer something for free. Free is good. People tell their friends about free stuff.
22. Tell your neighbours, you never know what contacts they might have.
23. Offer your users as many ways as possible to contact you. MSN, Skype, Yahoo etc all complement email, phone and a real address.
24. Advertise your site on Craigslist. It’s free, relevant and localised.
25. Do NOT use frames.
26. Submit your site to DMOZ.org. It may take time, but it’s worth it.
27. Create an XML sitemap of your site and submit it to Google.
28. Get a custom t-shirt made with your website url on it, and wear it often.
29. Ask a large breasted lady to wear one too.

31. On your Contact Page ask people if they mind receiving your newsletter.
32. Send out a newsletter!
33. Go to a free seminar for Website owners. You might learn something.
34. Find quality and relevant blogs and leave a comment (with a link back to your site of course).
35. Don’t pay people to submit your site to search engines. It’s a waste of money.
36. YouTube and Google Video are excellent portals on which to launch a viral campaign.
37. Giving away an eBook is an excellent way to generate word-of-mouth about your site.
38. Sponsor a Wordpress theme or a phpListDirectory template.
39. If you sell products that are advertised on television by the manufacturer, add “As Seen on TV” to your site!
40. Avoid proprietry technologies like Java and Active X.
41. Put downloadable content on your site, but make sure it’s not manufacturer specific - so mp3 rather than wma.
42. Learn about CSS. It’s the new HTML.
43. Contribute to related subject areas on Wikipedia.

56. Have a Sitemap on your site to allow users to navigate around quickly and to aid the search engines.
57. Have a nice keyword rich title at the top of each of your pages. Users and search engines both like descriptive titles.
58. Include a Feedburner button on your site so people can easily subscribe to your feed.
59. If you use PPC then create a landing page for each of your AdWords - it’ll boost your conversations no end.

70. You can add a Bulletin to your MySpace account promoting your site that all your MySpace Friends will see.
71. Response to your customer’s emails promptly, even if it is with a simply auto-responder. No one likes to wait 3 or 4 days for an acknowledgement of their contact with you.
72. Get a professional Copywriter to give your site a once over. If you are on a tight budget, limit to the just the homepage.
73. Make a list, “Top 10″s work well. Update it regularly to give your visitors a reason to return.
74. What did you learn today? Tell other people and they might learn something too.
75. Do you have really hot content on your site that geeks would love? If so Slashdot will bring you a mass of traffic.
76. Deep link directories are an excellent way to promote inner pages of your site.
77. Meta tags might carry less weight than previously, but you should still have them on every page.
78. Ask your Gran for feedback on your site. Never ignore the silver surfers.
79. Include a “Add to your Technorati favourites” button on your site.
80. Google Analytics is free and will tell you all you need to know about who’s visiting your site.
81. Search engines will find you. Don’t pay money for your site to be “submitted”.
82. Don’t be afraid to link to other sites, especially if they are relevant and to highly respected sites.
83. Keep It Simple Stupid: use CSS to control layout, style and colours and use HTML text rather than graphics to represent text.
84. Validate your HTML and CSS. It’ll help ensure your site displays well in all browsers.
85. Small pages sizes and optimised graphics will give your site a snappy feel and won’t require users to wait around for it to load.
86. If you plan to submit your site to lots of directory or article sites - create an email especially for this. Delete it when you’re finished to avoid spam.
87. “Link baiting” means writing some killer content that people will want to link to. Like a “101 Tips to Improve Your Web Presence” list!
88. If your chosen field is technology related then write a “whitepaper”. That’s a posh name for an article.
89. Google receives roughly 50% of all search requests, Yahoo 25% and MSN just 10%. That’s a good rule of thumb as to how much emphisis to put on each.
90. Make sure you have a robots.txt file in the root of your Web site. You can use this to control search engines, but if nothing else it’ll reduce the number of 404 errors in your Weblogs.
91. Free online games, a forum or chatrooms will give your users a reason to come back to your site.
92. Ebooks with re-seller rights make an excellent “free gift” for your site.
93. Upload your product feed to Froogle. It’s FREE!
94. This is an excellent list of Top 25 Social Bookmarking Sites
95. Search out unanswered questions on Yahoo! Answers and add your site as the “Source”.
96. PageRank is vanity, ranking is sanity.
97. Yahoo are catching up with Google with an excellent set of webmaster tools called Site Explorer.
98. Don’t buy traffic. It’s un-targetted and won’t convert.
99. Pay Per Click advertising gets you fast results - and if it’s handled well can be very profitable.
100. Upload a favicon.gif file so that your users have a nice icon when they bookmark your site.
101. And that’s it!

I was inspired to write this by superflytrainer who posted an excellent 101 ways to get more traffic thread on DP. Alot of the tips have been posted on various forums and blogs, so I make no claim that they are all my own. I have simply tried to collate them into a list and expand where possible. Feel free to plagirise this list to your own ends, but please link back to (I’m no) Search Engine Optimisation Expert if you do.

Company of Heroes

Company of Heroes

* From the award winning RTS studio Relic
* Redefines RTS genre, visceral WWII gaming experience, bringing soliders to life
* Proprietary Essence Engine delivers unparalleled graphics, destrutible battlfield using havoc engine and rag doll physics
* 2-8 player multi-player competition via LAN or internet with Clan Support

Company of Heroes takes you back to World War II, where you’ll guide Able Company through the deadliest battles in WW2’s European theatre, including the D-Day landings at Normandy. Through a rich single player campaign, players experience the cinematic intensity, courage and bravery of ordinary soldiers thrust into extraordinary events.

First let me say other reviewers mentioned this is a difficult game to play and win because of all the action. It is difficult until you realize two very important things:

1) You can give orders to your units while the game is paused! This makes the game almost like a turn-based game. If you try to play without pausing it does become a very tough click-fest.

2) Relic themselves published a ‘cheat’ that allows you to adjust the game speed from its default of ‘10′ all the way down to ‘1′. So if you do not like pausing you can simply slow the game in general.

So having said that how is Company of Heroes (CoH)? First the graphics are outstanding. They are almost equal to that of a FPS game of just a few years ago. You can fully rotate and zoom the view. Like Relic’s previous ‘Dawn of War’ title you cannot zoom out very far but they did include an ‘operational’ map view that shows the overall battlefield with unit icons. This helps alleviate the problem with the inability to zoom out.

Sound is very well done. Weapons sound correct and the various audio clues of what is going on are vital. The units do swear, which is unnecessary and really adds little to the game, but it is humorous the first few times you hear it.

Game play is very similar to `Dawn of War’ and most RTS games. What CoH does well is it includes the objective resource system from DoW but expands it to include four different resource objectives: fuel, munitions, gas, and area. Combinations of the four allow you to build and improve your units. In addition, as you capture resources you gain control of an area. It is also possible to cut off an area and thus lose the resources from it. This simple system encourages not only attacking but also higher level options such as flanking. This is unique to a RTS title and is very well done and works even better.

CoH is not a wargame but a RTS game with a bit of wargame feel to it. The game plays much like a normal RTS game. The unit choices are interesting and mostly historical. Most of what you would expect in a WW2 title are here. You can even call in artillery, airstrikes, paradrops, and other support functions. Engagement ranges are ridiculously short and this hurts some of simulation feel as vehicles and heavy weapons are not able to stand off as far as they should. But, again, this is a RTS title not a wargame.

The biggest complaint with the game is the AI. The enemy AI does a very good job overall especially for a RTS game. But the friendly AI reactions have some real brain dead moments that will either cause you a lot of grief or force you to micromanage more than you would wish. For example, an enemy tank will move up and fire on your infantry squad and wipe it out while a friendly tank of yours sits just half a screen away doing nothing about it. I’ve lost buildings to infantry attacks while my own infantry sat by and watched. Units will also make some silly moves. Tanks will sometimes ram each other and rarely try to flank each other or seek nearby cover.

But overall the limits of the AI and few other quibbles are overshadowed by the great game play and overall great `feel’ of the game. It provides the most tactical and combined arms options of any RTS game to date and for that it succeeds and for that any RTS fan should pick up `Company of Heroes’.
