[G306]Global Warming Facts Myths

by R. Silverman, R.

Diet pills may be very tempting if you want to lose weight, especially if you've tried the more conventional weight loss diets with little or no success. If this is the case, exercise extreme caution! Research the product carefully before you buy. Even those products that appear to be natural and safe can be useless for weight loss, and worse yet be dangerous to your health.

Americans spend approximately $30-50 billion each year on diet and weight loss programs, products and pills - $6 billion of this is said to be spent on weight loss products and pills that are fraudulent!

Prescription Only and Over-the-Counter Diet Pills.

Prescription Only Diet Pills are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Their side effects are monitored and they may be advertised and prescribed for weight loss under certain conditions and in certain pill-dosages. Over-the-Counter Diet Pills are classified as food supplements and are relatively unregulated. These diet pills are not tested by Federal authorities, nor are they subject to the same advertising, dosage or labeling requirements as prescription diet pills. What this means to you is -Buyer Beware! You have no idea what is really contained in the product you are using. But, even though pills are regulated by FDA that does not guarantee they are completely safe! Many have been taken off the market due to serious side effects.

What Approach Do They Take?

Diet pills work differently. There are diet pills that function like speed to increase the body's metabolism which ultimately causes the body to burn off calories. Unfortunately, they also can induce strokes and heart attacks for many. For this reason drugs such as Ephedra, Aminorex, Fenfluramine (Fen-phen), Phenylpropanolamine and Ephedrine were taken off the market.

Other diet pills work with neurotransmitters in the brain that signal a response in the body that puts a halt to hunger. The result is a loss of appetite because the brain does not receive the hunger signal that prompts you to eat. These too have helped people lose weight, but they also carry some risk for side effects. One product that uses this approach and yet has shown no known side effects is Hoodia. Hoodia is a natural substance extracted from the Hoodia gordonii plant from . So far, all testing that has been done on this product has turned up no known side effects or health risks, and yet has shown to be remarkably effective in controlling the appetite.

There Are Really No True ?Magic? Pills

Except for Hoodoba Hoodia gordonii diet pills, the newest of the bunch, there no true ?magic? pills-and, despite being the best diet pill available, Hoodoba? Hoodia is still not truly ?magical?. You have to possess a genuine desire to succeed before it can really help. Combining Hoodoba? Hoodia gordonii diet pills with a low calorie diet will enable you to achieve the weight loss results you only dreamed of. With Hoodoba? it is easy to say goodbye to the extra weight and watch yourself evolve into the person you've always wanted to be!

Fact: Google, Yahoo and MSN are considered the "Big 3" when it comes to search engines.

Yes, it's true. In fact, just over 95% of all Internet searches are conducted using either Google, Yahoo and MSN. This leaves less than 5% percent for all of the other search engines combined.

Myth: There are 1,000 search engines on the Internet.

Nope. Not true. If you see an advertisement saying "we'll submit your site to 1,000 search engines", then they probably also want to sell you a bridge in Brooklyn. Actually, there are only 40 or so true search engines. The rest of them are actually using search engine results from Google, Yahoo, MSN or a combination of all three.

Fact: Search Engine Optimization is not a "one-and-done" process.

Good SEO is an on-going progress. You have to do so many things - and do them right - to get ranked at the top of search engines. Then, once you have earned those high rankings, you have to work twice as hard to keep your site there. Afterall, when you moved into the top spots, you've bumped someone. Rest assured, they are going to start working harder to regain that spot.

Myth: You can trick search engines.

Go ahead and try. And, when you get caught, your website will be banned from search engines. There are all kinds of tricks search engine optimization consultants try and, yes, you might get ranked No. 1 in Google for your "black hat" efforts. But, when you get caught - and you will - your site will be doomed for a long time.

Fact: Search engines love fresh content.

Definitely. Just like people, search engine spiders (also called "robots") will come back to your site often when you write and publish fresh content.

Myth: Search engines don't look at Meta Tags anymore.

Wrong. Search engines do look at Meta Tags. Typically, they don't put much faith in what you've written there as the gospel, but they'll come back and look more at your site content to verify what keywords you're concentrating on.

Fact: Links will help get your site ranked higher.

True. However, create "backlinks" with sites that have a Google Page Rank of 5 or better. Avoid link farms. Don't pay for links and, if you can help it, don't trade links with everyone on the web.

Myth: The more links you have the better.

Wrong. Be selective. Get good quality sites to publish a link to your site. Don't pay to be listed in directories (with the exception being in Yahoo Directory). Avoid link farms (these are sites that are just a bunch of links).

Fact: A Sitemap is a good thing to have.

True. While a Sitemap, especially a Google Sitemap, will not guarantee a higher ranking in Google, it will help you make sure that all of the pages in your site are being crawled by Google.

Myth: Pay-Per-Click is not worth it.

False. If your website is not listed high in organic search engine results, then you should consider a pay-per-click (PPC) campaign. Yes, some click fraud does exist, but if you opened a retail store, you'll probably be a victim of shoplifting at some point. Instead, create a smart campaign and stick to a budget. Then, perhaps as your organic rankings improve, you may consider backing off the PPC campaign. Or, perhaps not!
