Teenage Angel by Addict

Teenage Angel by Addict

She’s in love but she doesn’t know
What she needs or how to let go.
It feels like being married,
She was too young to miscarry.

She says, “Bye, bye my childhood dream man,
I will keep in touch if I can
Spent the best years of my life with you.”

Happens every time
You start to lose yourself
You turn to blame
The one who loves you the most,
To stay and work it out
Is harder than to run away

So she leaves a note
Beacuse to his face she couldn’t say,
“Bye, bye my teenage angel
I don’t know how the spell was broken
I don’t know what I’m doing
But I’ll miss you.”

5 ways to increase blog traffic.

Here are 5 steps I took to increase traffic to my blog, taking it from 20 uniques a day to 500 uniques a day.

  1. Pick a theme: Pick a theme/topic for your blog, specialize in it, and stick to it. Participate in other websites and forums that specialize in this topic. Make sure to include your URL when you participate. Submit your blog to directories on this topic.
  2. Have Quality Content: Make sure your content is good quality. You want to have good clear titles that serve to both to instruct readers on what you are writing about and also provide keywords for search engines. Make sure your content is free of typos and inaccuracies (research the topics well). Link to sources and related information, this gives a chance for readers to continue reading about the topic and learn more. Tag your content using Technorati tags.
  3. Cover content that needs attention: If you are blogging about (let’s say) video game consoles, and everyone is wondering what processor the xbox360 is running on, write about it! Give everyone the answer. Try to address issues and questions like this in your topic. It will give your blog a unique feel since you are not just saying the same thing as everyone else using a different voice.
  4. Give your URL exposure: Make sure that those that you know are familiar with your URL. Put your URL in your email signature, add it to your busness card, and include it in your signature in your signature on forums.
  5. Make your posts accessible: Have an email this post link, this way readers who like a post you have can send it to their friends and family. Have a site RSS feed. Many readers use feed readers now and you want to remain accessible to them. Publish regular updates.

The Corporate Zodiac

This is awesome and compliments the Corporate Lessons joke well.

Astrology tells us about you and your future simply by your birthday.The Chinese Zodiac uses the year of your birth. Demographics tell us what you like, dislike, whom you vote for, what you buy and what you watch on television.

Well, the Corporate Zodiac goes a step further: simply by your job title, people will have you all figured out…

MARKETING: You are ambitious yet stupid. You chose a marketing degree to avoid having to study in college, concentrating instead on drinking and socializing - which is pretty much what your job responsibilities are now. Least compatible with Sales.

SALES: Laziest of all signs, often referred to as “marketing without a degree”, you are also self-centered and paranoid. Unless someone calls you and begs you to take their money, you like to avoid contact with “customers” so you can “concentrate on the big picture”. You seek admiration for your golf game throughout your life.

TECHNOLOGY: Unable to control anything in your personal life, you are instead content to completely control everything that happens at your workplace. Often even YOU don’t understand what you are saying, but who the hell can tell?! It is written that the Geeks shall inherit the Earth.

ENGINEERING: One of only two signs that actually studied in school, it is said that ninety percent of all Personal Ads are placed by engineers. You can be happy with yourself: your office is typically full of all the latest “ergodynamic” gadgets. However, we all know what is really causing your “carpal tunnel”…

ACCOUNTING: The only other sign that studied in school, you are mostly immune from office politics. You are the most feared person in the organization; combined with your extreme organizational traits, the majority of rumors concerning you say that you are completely insane.

HUMAN RESOURCES: Ironically, given your access to confidential information, you tend to be the biggest gossip within the organization. Possibly the only other person that does less work than marketing, you are unable to return any calls today because you have to get a haircut, have lunch, AND mail a letter!

MIDDLE MANAGEMENT/ DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT/ “TEAM LEADS”: Catty, cut-throat, yet completely spineless, you are destined to remain at your current job for the rest of your life. Unable to make a single decision you tend to measure your worth by the number of meetings you can schedule for yourself. Best suited to marry other “Middle Managers”, as everyone in your social circle is a “Middle Manager”.
