So I got creative. If you're single and want to have fun with someone over the holidays (or any other time) here are five ways you can get a date within 24 hours.
One qualifier... in Conscious Dating a "fun" date is recreational dating, the purpose of which is to have fun, not find a long term partner, therefore anyone fun qualifies. Therefore, you don't need to carefully choose someone who is highly aligned with your requirements and highly attractive to you. The hard part of recreational dating is keeping it fun and not getting involved. Believe it or not, it's easiest to do this with someone that clearly is not a good match for you!
With that qualifier in mind here are some ideas-
1. Date your Ex
Got your attention? It's not as crazy as you might think! If you have a cordial relationship with an ex, why not? You know each other well and know how to have fun together.
2. Date out of your league
We get so focused on finding "the one," wouldn't it be fun to take a break and date someone significantly older or younger, of a different race or gender, etc, than usual? Recreational dating is easiest when it's with people we clearly wouldn't choose for long term, so how about dating someone dramatically different from your usual pattern?
3. Post a contest on Craig's List
"Win a date with me!" contest. Entrants submit a description of what they propose to do on their date with you, and you choose the one that seems the most fun. People cruise Craig's List and similar online communities for things to do, places to go, and people to meet. DO NOT use this strategy for anything other than recreational dating! (see above qualifier).
4. Date a "loser"
I know I'm going to get flak for this one... but search personal ads for the most pathetic lost soul you can find who would be happy to go out for a little fun and let loose, knowing it's a one-time thing. Someone who you wouldn't ordinarily consider dating in a million years. Who knows? You might have fun and learn something about yourself and the human race.
5. Date a family member or friend
Wouldn't it be nice to have fun with one of your kids, your brother or sister, mother or father, or a friend? Take this opportunity to get to have fun with them and get to know them better by breaking your usual pattern with them and go out to a dinner and play, etc.
No need to be alone during the holidays or at any other time if you're not picky. If you're lonely, use these strategies to have fun!
Want More Than "Fun?"
If these strategies don't appeal to you and you want more than fun, you want a relationship, then take care of yourself by not settling for less and continue your quest for your life partner. In the meantime, I recommend spending quality time with your family and friends, and perhaps widening your social circle by making new friends. Not only will this help you get your social and emotional needs met while you're single, but here's a secret... most people meet their soul mate through someone they already know!
The question was 'Can we take a banned site - No pages indexed in google, yahoo or live and can we give it life and PR rank?'
Well it took 2 days for a banned domain to enter the MSN Live and the Google Indexes. Now thats fast.
But how was it done
Actually the website is set up as a tutorial on how to succeed with SEO seach engine optimization. It is a step by step guild to soring in the SERPs ranking.
Just take a look at all the free tools offered all over the internet that practically force the search engines to index you. Take a hint and follow the links on this site, they take you to amazing free optimization tools.
So here are the basic steps that got this domain re-indexed after being banned.
2. Put together an article about the 'Website Directory Submission Experiment'
3. Submit the article to digg.com, please if you are a member please then digg this story!
3. Wait as long as I can to submit our article below to 640 Article Directories with Article Submitter.
I want this website submission experiment webpage to be indexed by google first! This will secure that http://www.omg-1.com is the original source article and then we will not go into the googles suplimentals index. We do not want google to assume an articles site which we submitted to is the article source. Make sure you get your articles into the big article directories!
4. Continue to submit to the web directory database, placing the site into eg. http://ww.webdirectory.za/business/internet/promotions/
5. SEO TECHNIQUES
- Placed TARGET="BLANK" on all outgoing links I have so many outlinks to very reputable sources. It is smart to keep people on your site, so let them view your suggested outgoing urls, but always leave your site page open. I even placed TARGET="BLANK" on affiliate links such as
Website Submitter | Article Submitter
Then I went ahead and placed up meta tags with an off beat title to the site
<.title>That is only 10c for a permanent link pointing to your website!<.title>
its actually a one line sales pitch. In the description i just cut a block of text out of my main body
<.meta name="Description" content="We will hand submit YOUR site to 2000 FREE DIRECTORIES for $200 US That is only 10c for a permant link pointing to your website! Compare that with adwords | SEO search engine optimization is link building." /.>
and pasted it straight in as the meta description. I also use this description across all directory site submissions and acticle site submissions.
Also FORCE GOOGLE to visit your site in everyway possible
1. Reinclusion request. 2. ADD URL. 3. Place Adsense. 4. Place a google search form on your site. 5. Set-up adwords campaign and force google to scan your sites keywords! How?
Use the capaign keywords tool and select the option 'Site Related Keywords'
Here is what Google scanned, so we can see an insight into what Google thinks about this site, and it's a perfect result!
5. Setup an Adwords Campaign using the suggested keywords, create some Adwords Adds. I have posted my Adds below!
6. I added the very important OnlyWire button
7. Place http://www.omg-1.com to these directories ASAP!
8. Free email subscription service set up on the site for you to sign up to receive our SEO strategy techniques and discounts.
9. Placed a free translation script on the site to cater for foreign language visitors. 10 x the pages to index for the engines.
PS. please note that we are already indexed in Google and MSN Live after one day, 20 September 2007.
Will it last?
Probably not as we will be indexed but now categorized and themed and adjusted within the SERPs. So we will come and go - but indexed for two major engines within two days is very good!
