7 Easy Steps to Optimize Your Website for Voice Search

admin

If you want to optimize your website for the latest type of search, which is based on voice, there are a few steps you need to know to do so. Voice search is becoming more and more popular all over the world, so every website needs to be optimized for it. If you don’t, you’ll miss out on some potential customers looking to buy the services or products you might have available. Read on for some of the steps to optimize your website for voice search.

Steps to optimize any site for voice search

Voice search is when you perform a search using any assistant or search engine while speaking on your tablet or mobile device. These have started to increase dramatically in recent years, which means that this is definitely something you cannot ignore. Here are 7 steps to help you optimize for this, such as:

1. Creating FAQ Pages – You need to make sure you have an FAQ page for your website if you don’t already have one set up. This would allow you to answer questions about your business, the products, or even the services you have to offer. These should be in question format and contain your long-tail keywords.

2. Fast Site Loading – Although it may not seem like it, one of the things you need to do is make sure your page loads fast. If not, you’re more likely to lose a customer, so reduce the size of your videos and images so they load faster.

3. Local SEO Optimization – Another area where you need to optimize when it comes to voice search is local. This is because there are so many people searching with the terms “near me” or “close to me” and if it’s not on the map, they’ll miss it. Also, be sure to use multiple terms for the areas around you, including city names or even zip codes.

4. Schema markup – You need to make sure that you are using schema markup as it can make everything easier in terms of finding the menus and even the prices. The more you use this, the easier it is for search engines to find this information and it can help your site appear in the results. Customers will want to be able to search for a specific price range or even an item on a menu and this will help them find your page.

5. Long Tail Keywords – Not only do you need to be sure you are using your targeted keywords, but you also need to expand them to long tail keywords. These sound more natural in question format and are often used in voice searches. Find out which ones would draw the most attention to your website and then expand on them using local SEO terms and much more.

6. SSL Secure Page – Another step you need to make sure you are doing is getting an SSL certificate for your website. This will help ensure that it is completely secure, which will not only help increase your search engine rankings, but also make customers feel safe. If they’re going to buy something off your page, they’ll want it to be secure so their data and personal information is safe. This is something that everyone would look for, so go ahead and do it.

7. Use short sentences and simple words: If your industry is complicated, you’ll want to make sure that what you’re writing isn’t complicated. When it comes to creating your FAQ page, be sure to use simpler words, if possible, and keep your sentences short. Nobody wants to try to read something that is too long or something they can’t understand, so make sure it is easy for beginners to read and understand.

It is extremely important that you are thinking about this when you are optimizing your website for voice searches as they are beginning to take over the online world. If you don’t do this, you will miss out on sales and potential customers.

There are many things you will need to optimize your website for and it keeps changing based on technology and improvements. The last method you need to optimize for is voice search and you need to make sure you have an FAQ page. You also need to make sure you’re using long-tail keywords and local information for your business and a markup scheme to enable them to find prices, menu items, and more.

I hope this helps. Still have a question, feel free to connect with EZ Rankings – Affordable SEO Company!

Why Cheap Dependent Company Insurance May Not Be Cheaper

admin

Learn about the auto insurance companies that brag about their low premiums on national TV, radio, and social media. They really want you to internalize their messages.

However, the truth of the matter is that there may be a misconception about what they mean.

“Replace your current coverage with ours,” they proclaim, “and you’ll find savings on your auto insurance!” Or “Give us ten minutes and we’ll present you with a cheaper rate than others.”

The real facts indicate that most vehicle drivers will not realize any savings by switching to a direct insurance company. This is because no dependent company has the means to offer coverage other than its own. The gloss of a cheap quote can actually be the mask that covers a higher insurance deductible and less liability coverage.

To underscore this important lesson, we bring you this true story involving someone who decided to go with the ability of an independent agency to find personalized auto insurance for him.

A motorist who had previously been insured through one of these highly publicized dependent companies promoting ‘cheaper rates’ decided to go with an independent agency known for its impeccable customer service.

Following a review of this man’s ‘affordable’ auto policy, the insurance specialist discovered some serious gaps in coverage. Realizing that this could cause serious problems if the policyholder is ever involved in a car accident, he went to work reviewing the many policies offered through his company’s network of providers. She identified an excellent plan that covered the gaps and had a competitive low rate attached.

The client was pleased with the find and left with a new peace of mind due to his newly purchased policy.

By a twist of fate, it wasn’t long after this policyholder was involved in a car accident that left his vehicle in total disrepair. Since the other driver was at fault in this collision, it was assumed that the other driver’s insurance company would pay for the damages.

But there was a major downside to this. The other insurance company offered to pay well below the full value of the car.

That’s when the new policyholder whose car had been totaled decided to call his new company. The insurance company gave him no trouble, no problems. Instead, they sent him a check for the amount that was actually worth his car—three thousand dollars above what the at-fault driver’s insurance company was offering!

Guaranteed: The happy ending to this true story would have been very different if that ‘cheap premium’ policy with gaps in coverage had been in force.

Now, be the judge, is that ‘cheap’ policy really ‘cheap’?

What is a UFOC Uniform Franchise Offering Circular?

admin

What is a UFO?

The UFOC was a response to unethical behavior in the 1960s and 1970s. Today franchises are regulated by law. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires certain information to be disclosed to prospective franchisees before a contract can be signed or any payment made. The information is presented to the potential franchisee in the form of a document: the UFOC.

The FTC requires franchisors in all states to provide a UFOC. Additionally, some states require that the offer must first be approved and registered by the state before it can be promoted to potential franchise buyers. These states include: California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Certain states, such as Illinois and Minnesota, have even more stringent requirements for the franchisor. This, in turn, offers better protection for the prospective franchisee.

What does the UFO contain?

The UFOC contains 23 items of information that must be current as of the end of the franchisor’s most recent fiscal year. If there is a material change to the information in the document, the franchisor must do a review (to be issued quarterly). The disclosure document must be delivered to a prospective franchisee at the earlier of: the first personal meeting of the franchisor and the prospective franchisee or ten business days before the execution of a contract or payment of money to the franchisor.

UFO Standard Items:

1. The franchisor, its predecessors and affiliates

2. Business experience

3. Litigation

4. Bankruptcy

Creativity leads to family enrichment

admin

CREATIVE ENRICHMENT FOR FAMILIES

I found much enrichment in reading stories to my daughter every night until she was twelve years old. To this day we share those rich experiences. Many years ago we sat on the sofa and I drew pictures for my daughter. She told me how she wanted the figure to look and I, to the best of my ability, drew that figure. It was just a fun game at the time, but it was that kind of creative play that honed my daughter’s creative talents in the future and brought us closer together as two who had interacted creatively. But what I’ve learned is that giving your kids personal time is better than prioritizing any video game they might play, better than any late report you might have to put together, better than huddled around the TV, better than just about anything. And here’s why…

When you interact with your children through reading, writing, painting, drawing, etc. you are joining them. Personal dialogues, day by day, father/son: “… He took the ball from me, he called me a rat, do your homework, don’t mess up the kitchen, feed the dog, clean your feet”… .. it just isn’t part of the interactive creative dialogue. Father and son are on the same level. Everyone shares creative moments: your kids enjoy listening to you read to them, they enjoy drawing pictures with them and telling stories about the pictures, they all have fun writing about the day they welcomed their cute kitty, who has now grown into a big, pompous family cat .

FORGET THE FATHER/SON DIALOGUE

You are away from the petty mess of parents scolding children and children reacting negatively. Reading, writing, and doing art projects together puts everyone on the same page. If you maintain the same level of play with all the participants and forget about the father and son roles that you normally play, you will have fun!

Okay, but there’s still soccer, football, ballet, and when in the world can you find time for creative play? Take time for creative interaction. Yes, it is important that your child’s team win the next game and you should be there to cheer them on. But taking a little time, even twenty minutes, to read, write, and draw together will help you win his heart as a trustworthy, loving parent who is willing to get to know him on his level and share a creative process with him.

THE MESSAGE IS THE MENTAL MASSAGE

Life goes on, children grow up fast. Taking those twenty minutes for yourself once or twice a week will change the texture of your lives. Yes, it will be hard to keep them away from their video game and texting friends. But soon her message will be clear: “I just want to spend some time with you.” No lectures, no scolding, no insults, just time spent together on a little project to find out what you’re both made of without the roles of father and son to play. One night, try this. Turn off the TV. Turn off video games. Sit down with the children and make up a story. A small and simple story. And then everyone draws it. Pass the drawings and talk about the drawing, no criticism, no disparagement, just talk.

OK, everyone’s yawning, I know. But that will happen if you repeat it next week and the week after. You’re going to start having a good time. It can be a bit scary at first. It’s not a video game or television. It’s just you and the kids. Don’t worry. Soon, you will discover some things about yourselves, familiar things that soccer and ballet can’t solve. Like who you are as interrelated human beings, what do you think of each other and how, without competition or bad words from anyone, you can look at each other and admire each other for who you are.

THAT NICE CREATIVE FEELING

Do you remember how you wanted to paint an oil painting? Do you remember the drawing class you took in community college and you loved it? Recall the creative things you’ve done, like finding the right knobs for your kitchen cabinets, installing low-voltage lighting around your driveway to dramatically illuminate trees and bushes, or making that goofy birthday card for your kid, because he just couldn’t. t find one that was correct? You got a warm glow from those projects, didn’t you? Good.

CREATIVE TIME FOR YOURSELF

Take some creative time for yourself. Okay, currently your private time is between 10:30 and 11:00 at night, when you can read a few pages of that novel you’ve renewed three times at the local library and then collapse. Take advantage of YOUR OWN twenty creative minutes once or twice a week. Decide what you will do during those twenty minutes. Draw, paint, write? Connect to your creative mind, not for the boss, but for yourself. Remember favorite places and images from childhood. Write or draw on them. Enhance your life with color through pastels or acrylic or oil paints. Discover the magic of media and artistic skills. Sit down with a sketch pad and draw the plants in your house. Make a cake from a picture of your neighbor at your last New Year’s Eve party (it was sooo much fun, wasn’t it?)

It will take a month or so. After these creative times, you will feel the ripple effect. It’s a good feeling caused by instructing your conscious and subconscious to be creative and delve into the parts of your brain that give you a healthy and well-balanced (even wise!) sense of being. Then increase those minutes. Try twenty to thirty minutes a day. The ripple effect will be more like a positive tidal wave of good feelings, tapping into the powers of your mind that have been dormant for too long.

ECU Remapping – Custom Remaps vs. Library Maps

admin

You already know how ECU remapping can improve your car’s performance: more horsepower and torque, smoother handling, better fuel economy. Now all you have to do is find someone to do the job. You will probably notice that some companies advertise custom or personalized maps and other companies talk about using library maps. It is really important to know the difference between the two types of reallocation. Custom reallocation can be more expensive, but it has significant advantages that make it worth the cost.

Custom or custom remapping starts with the file that is in your car’s ECU at the moment. The technician downloads the car’s original ECU map and then modifies parts of it to improve engine performance. Files for many different processes are adjusted with expensive software. The technician must understand the best way to recalibrate each setting; in other words, he must know what he is doing.

In addition to the maps that control fuel combustion, the ECU also contains data relevant to your vehicle, such as immobilizer information, software updates, manufacturer error corrections, etc. For this reason, only the files that need to be changed are touched during the reassignment; other vital data about the car is left untouched. The map is then returned to the ECU, overwriting the existing file. The service provider keeps a copy of the original ECU file, just in case. Bespoke Remapping is always tailored to your particular vehicle, ensuring the best possible results.

Remapping with a library file is quite different. The technician does not use the original ECU file of your car. Instead, a modified ECU map is chosen from a library of perhaps 10,000 generic files. The library file is copied back to the car’s ECU, overwriting everything including vehicle-specific information that might have been in the original file.

Now this collection of library files has a shady past. It consists of ECU files that someone compiled from unknown sources, copied onto a CD and sold for a few pounds on the Internet. Many, if not most, of the ECU files were stolen from professional remappers. As a result, you really don’t know anything about the quality of the files or how they might affect your engine.

Remapping the ECU with a library file is a mistake that can have dire consequences. The library file may not contain the immobilizer software that keeps your vehicle safe. You will not have any recent software updates or crucial bug fixes. And let’s not forget that a service provider using library files is likely to cut corners in other ways, with cheap tools and minimal technical training.

What happens when you replace a vehicle’s unique ECU map with a library file? Certainly the engine could make more power after the remapping, but there’s no guarantee that the improvement will be as expected. Your engine system can develop sudden failures and stop working as it should. The ECU could freeze up and become inaccessible, so you won’t even be able to repair the damage. Without the normal security features, your car could be more easily stolen. And worst of all, you may be forced to spend a lot of money replacing the ECU or repairing the engine.

Now that you know why custom maps are so much better than library maps, how do you find someone to get the job done? First of all, make sure that the company actually offers custom remapping performed by qualified technicians. It is not difficult to know if it is a professional or an impostor. Just ask the technician a few questions about how the remapping is done, what type of files you use, what engine settings are changed, etc. A qualified and experienced person will be able to perfectly explain the finer points of the reassignment process to you. And if anyone mentions library files or tries to convince you that library files are just as good as custom files, cross them off the list.

There’s nothing wrong with shopping around, but don’t make price the deciding factor. This is a high-tech industry and technology costs money. If you find a service provider with very low prices, ask yourself why. In all likelihood they are using library files and cheap tools to remap.

You should also make sure of the after sales support of the company. Is there a trial period after reassignment? Do they keep a copy of the original map in case you ever want to change it back? Does the labor come with a guarantee? Does the company guarantee improvements in BHP, torque and fuel economy? Make sure you are satisfied with the answers to these questions

Remapping the ECU is an effective way to increase engine performance, but if it’s not done correctly, it really puts your car at risk. There is no doubt that bespoke or custom remapping is a better option than remapping with library files. You’ll get the best results, and just as importantly, protect your expensive vehicle from damage.

The power of education

admin

Strength comes in different forms. A person who displays and uses physical attributes is considered strong. Someone who demonstrates calm in times of stress or trouble could be considered emotionally strong. An individual exhibiting above average intellectual ability could be classified as mentally strong. Educational strength, although not as widely recognized, is a life-changing factor capable of helping anyone who develops it.

Quality education it produces the kind of force on which life can be built. Its foundations are reinforced with the strength of knowledge, its pillars are built on the support of wisdom, and its structure is solidified with the cement of trust. Without it, the winds of luck and circumstance can blow through one’s existence like a hurricane through a tree house.

Reading today’s reports on the challenges facing public schools would leave readers shaking their heads and thinking, why bother? Poverty, class size, family problems, technological insufficiency, bullying, physical and online, student attitudes, student health, obesity at epidemic levels, insufficient or excessive parental involvement, funding… when Taken together, it is not surprising that such a bleak and negative picture presents itself.

Education is the foundation of our future

The truth is that we have to care because our future depends on it. The power of education is enduring, and forms a foundation for understanding and addressing the critical issues facing our country and the world in the 21st century. Contrary to the pessimistic headlines emanating from critics of public education, success stories abound of schools struggling to overcome ever-present challenges and obstacles to everyday learning.

Education, particularly in our public school system, has received a bad, and some would say unfair, review. Unfortunately, accentuating the negative is what makes the news headlines so much more prevalent than the positive stories that occur daily in classrooms across the country. Teachers work hard every day to develop academically strong students who can apply that strength throughout life.

Students from all walks of life receive a quality education that will make a profound difference in their lives and in their communities. Learning the three R’s and discovering their connection and meaning to the world outside the walls of the school is to build the kind of strength that only literacy can provide.

The educational force gives birth to new ideas

The educational force gives birth to crucial ideas and options to address some of the most serious problems facing the United States and the entire planet. Discovering sustainable solutions to address present and future concerns can only be achieved through continuing development of public educationand a dedicated commitment to interactive instruction, engaged learning, and quality graduates.

More than ever, social issues are impacting our students and their pursuit of a meaningful and productive life. Poverty remains a major contributor to academic failure. Among children under the age of 18 in the United States, 41 percent are classified as low-income and nearly 19 percent, one in five, are considered poor and live in poverty.

Statistics like these represent sobering, and in many cases insurmountable in the short term, factors in achieving the kind of school success needed to permanently reverse the continuing trend of ‘disadvantaged termination‘in our schools. However, through education we find knowledge, and through knowledge comes hope. Hope for the future, and hope for a better life. We find strength.

Teen Driving Safety – Thinking Outside the Box of Graduated Driver License Laws

admin

Car accidents are the leading cause of death among American teenagers. Sixty-one percent of teen passengers are killed while riding with a teen driver. In response to those two declarations, most US states and territories have adopted GDL laws. GDL is the acronym for Graduated Driver Licensing. While the GDL does not guarantee that your teen will avoid being ticketed or injured in a crash, there are ways to help assess the maturity and experience of the teen driver that can increase her safety.

If you have a teen eager to learn to drive, becoming familiar with the GDL in your area will be one of the most important laws to understand. However, thinking beyond the GDL requirements and restrictions is essential to increasing the safety of teen drivers. Parents are the key to teen driver safety when they know which “knowledge lock” to open.

As an injury prevention educator for a local hospital, I teach youth and parents how to use GDL components effectively. In an effort to reach more parents with this important information, I share much of what I teach through a series of articles.

Most components of the GDL law include: Minimum supervised driving requirement; Transportation of siblings and relatives; peer-to-peer transportation; Curfew; Driving record. These five components generally focus on the minimum legal requirements, but do not explain how to use the components effectively to include security considerations.

The first article in this series explained how the brain’s maturing role of the prefrontal cortex is intrinsically involved in adolescent driving development and focused on how to help a teenager develop well-practiced driving skills to prepare them for obtain the license.

Thinking outside the GDL box for passenger restriction and curfew

passenger restriction

While GDL passenger transportation laws vary from state to state regarding siblings and relatives vs. peer-to-peer transport, it is important to note:

1. Younger siblings are the second most difficult passengers to control; drunk passengers are the most difficult to control;
two. Older siblings are often critical and annoy the new driver;
3. Most GDL laws allow the immediate transportation of up to three equal passengers in the second 6 months of license;
Four. The potential for a fatal crash is nearly doubled when three identical passengers are being transported;
5. Sixty-one percent of teens killed in car crashes are passengers of a teen driver.

NOTE: Even as veteran drivers, parents have a hard time controlling drunken child passengers. Why would we think newly licensed teen drivers are capable? Endangering the teen driver and their passengers for convenience is dangerous. Protecting the teen driver and her passengers is risk management that is within a parent’s control.

Strategies to consider for passenger transport between siblings and partners

Allowing teen drivers to transport their siblings after the first year of solo driving

Parents help teens select their fellow passengers based on the trustworthy behavior of the teens they are considering

Once peer-to-peer riding is legal, allow teen drivers to only carry one peer-to-peer passenger at a time for the first year of license.

Allow the transport of two passengers in the second year of license

Postpone transporting three passengers until the teen has driven without citations or accidents for a minimum of 2.5 years.

Parents should always be the drivers when teen teams need transportation and never rely on teen drivers to provide transportation.

In addition, the exposure to legal liability extends to the parents as long as the children are dependents taken as a tax deduction or the parents pay the greater amount of support for youth over the age of 18. Considering that car accidents are the leading cause of death among 15-20 year olds provides a good reason to ban college-age youth from driving when they are in school until their senior year. However, even veteran drivers who do not drive for long periods need time to redevelop driving acuity, therefore driving acuity is also compromised for youngsters who do not drive for long periods and therefore , require some “driving supervision” before being allowed to drive alone again.

Curfew

Most GDL laws include a curfew from midnight to 5:00 a.m. However, a large number of accidents involving teens occur right after school, between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. , and more than 40% of teen crashes occur between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Speeding and distractions are recognized as major contributors to late-night crashes among teens, but they may not realize that driving at night requires an additional skill set.

Curfew Safety Strategies to Consider

Focus on developing the teen’s safe, sound, and reliable daytime driving skills.

Periodically drive with your teen to assess whether good driving habits are being eroded by unsafe behavior.

Practice night driving with the teen for a period of two years before allowing teens to drive at night.

How to Do a Plank: 7 Plank Exercise

admin

plank exercise it is a safe, challenging and effective method of core conditioning. Plank variations are used in many fitness disciplines including Boot Camp regimens, Yoga, Pilates, Barre, CrossFit and many more. The benefits of plank exercise they are numerous. They not only strengthen the abs, but also the entire core and many other muscle groups in the upper and lower body.

BENEFITS OF PLANK EXERCISES

STRENGTHEN THE CORE AND WORK THE MUSCLES OF THE UPPER AND LOWER BODY.
When you perform planned exercises, you work all the muscles that make up your core and reap all the benefits that come with building a strong core. As if that were not enough, the plates also work the following muscles:

TOP BODYSUIT

  • Trapeze.
  • Rhomboid major and minor.
  • Rotator cuff.
  • Anterior, medical and posterior deltoids.
  • pectorals
  • triceps
  • Biceps.

LOWER BODY

  • Quadriceps
  • Gastrocnemius (calf muscle).

PREVENT MUSCLE IMBALANCE
It’s easy to develop muscle imbalances when doing only abdominal exercises (such as sit-ups). Most people don’t do spine and glute strengthening exercises to compensate for abdominal work. The planks condition the front and back of the body simultaneously. When muscles develop similarly on both sides of the body, the result is better posture, more spinal support, and less lower back pain.

IMPROVES FUNCTIONAL MOVEMENT
One of the best selling points of planks is their relevance when it comes to functional movement, which is movement essential to living life. Things like squatting, squatting, running, lifting, jumping, and throwing are all core-initiated functional movements.

PROVIDES A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO CRUNCHES AND SIT-UPS
While crunches are an important functional movement for daily living (for example, the ability to get out of bed every morning), they’re not always the best core conditioning option for everyone.

Sit-ups and sit-ups only work the muscles in the front of the trunk, so back-strengthening exercises are also necessary. However, planks work the entire core, as well as many other muscles in the body.

Sit-ups and sit-ups can put pressure on the spine through repetitive flexion and extension of the spine, and over time this can become a problem. If you experience any discomfort with these movements, plank training can be a useful substitute.

Also, sit-ups and sit-ups are counterintuitive for people with ruptured, bulging, or slipped discs or other spinal injuries. Planks are a much safer alternative in those cases.

And finally, crunches and crunches can have negative effects on posture by promoting rounded shoulders. The exercises in the plan promote good posture.

VERSATILE EXERCISE OFFER
The great thing about planks is that there are countless variations of the exercise, ranging from traditional to side planks. floor variations to planks using external weights or unstable surfaces. There’s a chart for every body and every fitness level. If one doesn’t work for you due to injury, body type, imbalance, or lack of necessary strength, there are plenty of other options.

Some of the most profitable sectors among them are:

The spirit expresses itself through animals

admin

When a person is in contact with nature and takes the time to look at the many creations through which spirit has expressed itself on this planet, you really begin to see the truth of that. There is an element of spirit in everything, both animate and inanimate, but it’s quite easy to forget that as people’s lives become extremely busy with things like family, work, and pretty much life in general. But truly your life is what you make of it and you have the choice of how you want to spend the time you have here. As Gandalf said in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, “All you have to do is decide what you want to do with the time you’re given.” So ask yourself, what is important to you?

Growing up on a farm outside of a quiet community of about 400 people, I got to spend a lot of time with the different animals on the farm and get to know their personalities, particularly the cats and dogs. As I got older, I continued to have animals in my life, even though I wondered about the world as a young adult.

Lately I have had the privilege of spending a lot of time with our two rabbits and seeing how one in particular interacts with the other and with us has led me to believe that the level at which he is aware and has developed his personality indicates that he is spirit expressing through of this animal. The intelligence to make independent decisions as well as his joy could only mean that he is spirit. From their point of view, they are aware of what is happening with us and with the planet.

Looking back on my younger years, the same is true for those animals as well. It gives one a new level of respect for the self. Compared to a human being, he has limitations, but given a safe and welcoming environment, he will express himself freely and openly. It is very much like a young child who has not been influenced by the outside world, society, religion, education, etc. There is so much purity in the creature and I feel that it is its true expression in this world, and there as a reminder to humanity.

God Source wants to play and enjoy life, but at some point humanity forgot that, but fortunately, if one is sensitive enough and has enough patience and wonder, their beloved pets can help them remember a better and more enriching way to spend the time they gave you here. Remember that you too are a spiritual being having a human experience, just like my bunny is a spiritual being having a rabbit experience.
