Many different web companies and agencies providing Search Engine Optimization, or SEO services are so much in demand these days. Although its initiation dates back to as early as the starting phase of 1990s, it is only much recently that it gained high priority in every company’s to-do lists. For the past few years, SEO has revolutionized how information is presented and accessed over the Internet.

The whole idea of Search Engine Optimization involves the task to improve the visibility of a web page or a website, during searches in various search engines. By understanding the trends of searches done by the target audience in the search engines, and the different algorithmic pattern of search followed by these search engines, SEO companies can provide you with high rankings.

SEO began with webmasters, who used SEO to improve ranking for their own websites. After this was succeeded they started to offer their services on SEO marketing websites. The fact is that search engines use crawlers to search for new websites on the Internet. When a new website is found the crawler will follow the links on that page and start indexing it in the search results.

Focus on the Future, Not the Present and Not the Past for Successful Investing

Investors who got caught in the pre-construction bubble listened to advice that described current booming situations in several areas during 2004 and 2005. As a result tens of thousands of eager speculators poured into the market just when wiser pundits were advising their clients to get out of the hot markets in Las Vegas, Phoenix and South Florida. The Investors who survived the pre-construction bust got out at the height because it was clear from analysis of market cycles that the economy would soon be in a downward slide. What comes up must come down.

No one has a crystal ball so accurate that you can take all the risk out of investing. No one could have predicted the nasty hurricane season of 2005 that led to building delays in summer of 2005 and huge construction cost increases in 2006 that further delayed jobs that went into contract a year or more earlier. Only a few naysayers were predicting a total collapse of the housing market, and it turned out those who took a conservative approach to investing in housing in 2004 and 2005 are the ones who prospered.

Those who got caught in the housing bloodbath are now often paralyzed with fear to get into the hunt again. Focusing on the past is just as devastating as focusing exclusively on the present. Let the past inform your future, but not control what you do in the future.

Once again there is a lot of uncertainty in the housing market. Will we go into a double dip recession? Will housing prices scrape along the bottom for a protracted period before a gradual turnaround happens? Who knows for sure? All we can do is watch the trends and project from there. Always have a backup plan that provides an alternate exit strategy in case circumstances change.

In this uncertain environment a strategy of flipping short sale, REO or other wholesale property makes a lot of sense. Even though prices are starting to rise in some markets, many expect further declines or stagnant prices to be widespread over the next couple of years. That means “buy and hold” properties purchased as rentals will need to justify themselves based on cash flow and not on fast appreciation. Only property that can cash flow should be purchased to hold right now. Everything else should be flipped at prices attractive to those who are in a “buy and hold” position right now.

For most Investors accumulating cash through short sales and other transactional deals is the best primary strategy. It allows the Investor to pay down debt and be in a strong position to weather any further dips in the economy. When the ultimate buy signal occurs, short sale investors will be in a great place to take advantage with a strong bank account and low debt to income ratio.

Negotiations – How Not To Be Cowered By A Bully – Negotiation Tip of the Week

“That was a stupid question!”

Those were the words uttered by someone who considered himself to be superior to the person that posed the question. Such a response can also be the positioning attempts of a bully.

When negotiating, you need to know how not to be cowered by a bully. Doing so will allow you to negotiate more effectively, maintain a more peaceful state of mind, and reduce the overall level of stress you might possess at the negotiation table.

This article discloses insights that will allow you to be better prepared to deal with a bully in your negotiations. It can also serve as a booster for your degree of confidence when dealing with such a person.

Know when someone is truly attempting to bully you.

As I’ve stated in other articles that I’ve written, before assuming someone is attempting to bully you, be sure your assumptions are accurate. This can be accomplished by asking outright if the other negotiator is trying to bully you and/or stating that you feel bullied; the choice you adopt will be dependent on the type of person you’re engaged with. In the case of someone that’s just aggressive, and not a bully, if you state that you’re feeling bullied and say so with a smile on your face, that may alert him that he needs to become subdued.

Understand the thought process behind a bully’s effort to bully you.

You also need to understand what a bully thinks of you. Ask yourself, does he perceive me to be an easy target, someone that will back down at the first sign of aggression, or is he testing me to see how I’ll react? Having this insight will reveal the options you might utilize to combat his efforts. You should have gathered information about the bullying efforts that he’s used in other situations, which means you should be prepared for how he might negotiate with you. But, in case you haven’t, be nimble enough to have strategies at the ready, to deter his bullying attempts.

Consider his source of leverage/power.

Power is fluid. That means it changes from moment to moment. If you understand the source of his power, if you can’t attack him, you can attack it. This is done by letting that source know that it will have a price to pay, as the result of the bullying activities of its associate. Knowing his sources of power will also allow you to gain leverage by simply mentioning the fact that you’re aware of who his ‘backers’ are.

In a negotiation, a bully is as strong as he and you agree he is. Thus, to the degree that either perspective is altered, so is the perspective of the bully’s power. Therefore, if you know you’ll be in an environment in which someone may attempt to bully you, especially if they’ve displayed such tendencies in the past, be prepared with retorts stating, “you don’t want to try that with me. I bite back!” Just be mindful of not escalating a situation passed a point that you can’t control. Such rebukes will allay the bully’s perspective and thoughts about picking on you, which means, he’ll more than likely engage with you in a more respectful manner… and everything will be right with the world.

Remember, you’re always negotiating!
