One of my customers had his website on AOL for years.
His website came up number 1 on Google for a particular
search and this is how he got a lot of his business.
AOL discontinued their website service.
When we brought his website up under his own name,
he was no where to be found on any searches and was
getting no business from his website.
See the first article for how we solved this problem.
If you have cleaned off your anti-virus software from your
computer, you are ready for the next stage, which is to free
up more of your computer memory so it can run faster. See the
second article.
Be Happy, Healthy and Prosperous,
Andrew

1. Article: Back to the Top of Google
After enjoying years at the top of Google, AOL discontinued its
website service, which my customer had been using.
When we brought his website up under his own website name, it
was no where to be found on Google and he was getting no business.
Today I searched for "classical music records" and he came
up as the first one on page 2. That is #11 out of 6 million hits.
What did we do?
1. Got a domain name with keywords
- www.classicalrecords.biz
2. Updated his data regularly
3. Created a blog and linked to his website
- classicalrecords.blogspot.com
4. Linked to his website from a number of my websites
5. Linked to his website from some social bookmarking websites
My website www.JewishNetwork.com is up to #2 on Google for
searches for "Jewish events" out of 14 million hits. In an
earlier newsletter, you had heard that this website had been
unfairly dropped from Google for a year and we got it back
on by linking to it in a blog.
For another of my customers, we set up twenty, one page websites
with the domain name of the engine for which he sells parts.
These mini-websites simply say something like "For the
best XX400 engine parts at the best prices contact us or
visit our main website ..." and link back to his main website.
He is getting a fair amount of business from this.
Spending some time to help your website get found works.

2. Article: Clean Up Your System Tray
Look at the lower right hand corner of your computer.
This is called the System Tray.
Do you have a lot of icons down there?
Each of those icons represent a program running all the time on
your computer, taking up memory and slowing your computer down.
Some of these icons may indicate problems with your computer.
How did those icons get in your System Tray?
In some cases, presumptuous programs put themselves there when
they were installed. In some cases, these icons indicate things
you need to fix.
Do you need them in your System Tray?
Probably not most of them. Possibly not any of them.
What should you do about them?
If you know for sure you need it, leave it.
Otherwise, remove it from the System Tray.
If you find you miss it, you can always put it back.
Here is how to remove them from your System Tray.
Left click on an icon to open the program. See what it is.
If you do not absolutely need it running all the time,
remove it from the System Tray.
Find properties or settings for this program.
If you cannot find the settings, close the program and then
try right clicking on the icon. If you still cannot find settings,
go to your Start menu, Control Panel and look for settings for it.
Once you find the settings, look for a propery like:
- Place or Install in System Tray, or
- Automatically run when Windows starts
Turn that property off.
If the icon is still in the System Tray, right click on the icon
and click exit or close.
When you restart Windows, it should be gone.
Repeat for each of the icons.

3. Article: The Dog Whisperer
The Dog Whisperer is my favorite show.
Last weekend a young woman came up to me at the park.
She pointed to a lost dog. If a dachschund is a hotdog,
this dog would be a black and white bratwurst.
The dog sniffed my hand and took off before I could grab her,
trotting out of the park and down the street. The young woman
rode after her and I followed on foot.
You know how hard it is to catch a runaway dog.
Without a sound or gesture, from 50 yards away, I commanded
the dog to come to me.
That sounds absurd and I was as surprised as you would have been,
when that dog walked back across the street, crawled towards me
on her belly and rolled over on her back and waited for me.
I picked her up and dropped her off with the pool attendants,
who called her owner.
Thanks to Cesar Milan, the Dog Whisperer, for explaining the
language of dogs. It can truly seem like a miracle when you
can communicate.
