Border Guard Gets Just Desserts

Joke time!

“Inter-railing around Europe five years ago, me and my mate decided to detour into Moscow on a sleeper train. Around 2am, the train ground to a halt, our door was kicked open – and in stomped a Belarus border guard, brandishing an AK-47. Through a series of grunts and pointing he indicated our Russian visas weren’t valid here. We were illegal immigrants and, unless we fancied a stay in a nearby gulag prison, he wanted $100 apiece. Only here’s the thing: he looked about 14. And visibly sweating with fear – this was obviously his first tourist shakedown. So, in a moment of bravery, I reached into my rucksack and took out our travel monopoly we’d brought from the UK. Pulling out a wad of 500s, I stuffed them into his hand and said ‘English’. Without taking his eyes off us, he edged out and down the corridor. Minutes later, the train pulled away. Peering out of the window, we saw him get a clout round the head from his superior. Twat.”

One Way Link

What does it really mean? This is another way of optimizing your website. Internet is very useful and nowadays, link building is the very important way in competing other websites. One way link is having your website/URL listed to other websites but doesn't need a link back to them. This is different from reciprocal linking.

Here are the tips on how are we going to gain one way links.

1. 1. If you have a website, make it useful and interesting where other sites will naturally link to it.
2. Submit your site to major directories, such as Yahoo! and DMOZ.org, of course in the appropriate category.
3. Write articles and submit them to article websites, please choose higher PR.
4. Submit brief, useful hints to newsletters.
5. Submit articles to article directories.
   
6. Publish articles on your site and invite other sites to publish them on their sites, with a link to you.
7. Write testimonials for products you love. Companies often post testimonials on their site with a link to the submitting site.
   
8. Participate in forums which allow a text link to your site in a signature.
9. Consider buying text link ads on other sites.
10. Locate industry-specific directories and submit your site to them.
    
11. Give away free ebooks and white papers that contain links to your site.
12. Create simple web-based free software. Tell other sites, newsletters and forums about it and ask for a link to it.
13. Create downloadable software which contains links to your site.
14. Get listed in business directories.
15. Create a blog and get it listed in blog directories.
16. Make arrangements for other sites to archive your newsletters on their sites.
17. Get your white papers published on other web sites.
18. Submit your free ebooks to ebook directories.
19. Submit your downloadable software to software directories, such as Download.com
20. Locate a popular site in your niche which would appreciate having you as a regular columnist. Write tips, lively commentary, product reviews, or whatever topics suit your niche.
21. Syndicate your material to other sites. Create a content syndication feed (RSS feed) and include a link to your site.
    
22. Do something funny or outrageous or brilliant and people will link to your site without being asked.
23. Use gimmicks. If people see something odd on a website, they'll often tell other people about it.

What was in my mind?

I made this blog without any thought of what would be the title of this blog. At first, I want to make a blog which tackles about business, money, finance, etc. But then, I was thinking about my other blog which entitled Life Trek which I planned to talked about life, journeys, but I end up with different topics.

So what I did with this blog is to create a blog that has no specific topic, but only to write things that goes into my mind. So I made up this blog for different topics, for me to have a freedom to speak what was really in my mind.
