Search Engines vs Directories

Image
10 years ago, a search for free books on the internet would probably bring you to some adult sites. Today, search engine technology has developed a great deal, bringing pretty relevant search results to most internet users. In fact, recent report shows that search engines are driving more than 80% of internet traffic. Given the rapid improvements of search engine technology, majority of internet users today are relying on search engines rather than directories to find resources online. Although there are more than thousands of search engines and directories worldwide, only a few of them produce the majority of traffic. Among the most popular ones are Google, Yahoo and MSNSearch. Search Engines: The internet is growing very rapidly and contains vast amount of resources still untapped. Many websites today are still buried and having less than 20 visitors every month. Therefore, we need a search engine that can: (1) deliver the most relevant search results to online users (2) index the m...

Caring for Baby, Then and Now

Image
When my children were born in the late fifties, early sixties, I was very young and of course didn't know how to care for an infant. There weren't all the books and there definitely wasn't the internet around to be able to find helpful information. You had to rely on information provided by family and friends (which was not always the best or right thing). This article provides some insight into what was available to assist in caring for your baby then, and now. You didn't have much choice (if you were not breastfeeding) of the type of baby bottle to use. I only remember two and that was just a difference in the size. Only one nipple choice. If the hole wasn't large enough then you heated a needle and opened it up until it worked properly. If you opened it up too much, you threw the nipple away. There was also not much of a choice for formula either. I can only remember one, but I could be wrong. You did have a choice of either powder or liquid. And as for steriliz...

Parents Transitioning From Homeschooling To College

Image
You made a decision to remove your child from institutional education. Your decision was based on several very good reasons. Each of the reasons you originally had for homeschooling your child are intensified as you consider college. Why not continue that quality decision to bring superior education directly into your home through books, videos, cassettes, and the internet? You made a decision to remove your child from institutional education. Your decision was based on several very good reasons. And if you are like most homeschooling parents, you were happily rewarded for your decision. Homeschoolers' grades average two years ahead of public school students' grades. In addition, homeschooled children have proved to be more socially adaptive than their public school counterparts. Avoid Dangerous Environments Each of the reasons you originally had for homeschooling your child are intensified as you consider college. Humanism, rationalism, secularism, and hedonism run rampant on...

The Difference Between a Copy Editor and a Story Editor

Because if the stor... It is often said that if they had to choose, many novelists would prefer to have the developmental (or content) editing completed on their manuscripts versus the copy editing. Why? Because if the story is good, people will overlook a missing comma. But conversely, all the grammatical edits in the world will not bring a fictional story alive, without using various developmental techniques. From experience as a story editor of over 170 books, I've learned that a good story editor can make a novel work, however, a copy editor can not accomplish this alone. For example, I've worked with a copy editor who can go behind my work and improve any fictional manuscript I've completed. In fact, with her line edit, this editor might even discover holes in the story, which further tight...

Learn about how big the ebook market is and how fast it is growing. Learn about the main market business models, including free distribution, own distribution, booksellers, distributors and aggregators. Explore the factors driving ebook adoption and the diversity which hampers it. The Current State of the MarketIn my first article, I outlined the massive advantages to eBook publishing, particularly for the author! Now you have become excited by that, it is time to inject a little realism! Ever since the emergence of personal digital assistants (or PDAs) and the growth of the Internet, market enthusiasts have been predicting the ultimate demise of the printed book. This is, of course, nonsense! Traditional books do not require a power supply or batteries and can be read even when badly damaged (so called graceful degradation). Printed pages have better contrast and fonts are serifed, to aid the eye in scanning the text. Readers do not need technical skills or expensive and fragile devi...

In the last two decades a new concept has arisen - The concept of listening to a book instead of reading it - Audio books.

A Look At Science Fiction Books

Image
Science fiction books have been my favorite reading since my childhood days. I was introduced to the world of science fiction at the good young age of eight, when I was introduced to a science fiction book club. We children enjoyed good time reading classics like The Time Machine, Invisible Man, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and a whole lot of science fiction books. The experience of reading them was so unique that I cant really forget the story line and characters in space operas like Citizen of the Galaxy by Robert A. Heinlein, Enders Game by Orson Scott Card, etc. I always liked to anticipate the unpredictable, see the future. It is the epic scope of the science fiction books that attracted me. The books of a specific kind called speculative fiction try to tell today what the world looks like tomorrow. Space opera captured my childhood fantasy and still continues to. Whole galaxies lining up for a war, one party to establish supremacy and the other one defending their ground;...

Some Valuables Tips For Marketing Your Ebook

Image
If you are planning to get started with writing an eBook on the internet then, marketing your book becomes a necessity in order to achieve a positive response from the masses. The barrier that comes into the path is the publicity of the book and the problem cannot be tackled till you have spent a valuable amount of time in marketing. Therefore, the solution to this problem is writing a report on your respective topic before you go onto the task of writing the ultimate eBook. This task tells you if it will be worth your effort and the response to take on the work of writing. The report can be anywhere between 10 to 12 pages long or even shorter. This gives a pre response to the writer and provides a good plot to present your particular topic. Moreover, this type of writing consumes the time much lesser than that by an eBook. Therefore, the shorter report will be ready within a few days instead of weeks or even longer for marketing. This task gives you an estimation of the people respon...

Outdoor Survival Tips - Ten Uncommon Ones

Image
There are books full of outdoor survival tips these days, most with the same advice. Here are a few tips you probably haven't heard. The outdoor survival tips you'll find here are not the usual fare. They come from the unusual techniques that myself and others have experimented with. Keep them in mind in case the day comes when you are lost in the wilderness. Outdoor Survival Tips - Fire Making 1. Pull a piece of pack rat nest loose to use for tinder. These are usually found under rock ledges and in small caves, so they are dry even when it is raining. They are commonly full of plant fuzz, dry grass and other flammable materials. 2. Polish the bottom of an aluminum pop or beer can, and you can use it to focus the sun's rays to start a fire. Chocolate has been used to do the polishing, but you can also experiment with various natural substances. This is not easy, and probably not possible if the sun is too low, or the can not shiny enough, but I have seen it work. Point the...

What can increase your sales volume and make you more productive day in and day out? You've probably heard this three word statement that seperates those who wish they could do better,from those who really do. Knowledge is power! This three word statement is more than just a great philosophy. The more knowledge you have about antiques, the higher the increase in your overall profitability...as long as you use that knowledge. Knowledge can literally make or break your antique business. Here's a difficult lesson that was taught to a high-minded museum by a shrewd, savvy antique buyer with knowledge. I love this story! It vividly illustrates the difference between knowing and being in the dark about antiques and their value. I was browing in an antique shop a number of years ago, when I struck up a conversation with the owner. We talked about incredible finds that we had stumbled across over the years. Her story topped anything that I had ever done...hands down! It all started wh...

Linux Books - In GeneralLinux books are often outdated as soon as they're printed, due to the slow nature of the publishing and printing process. Some Linux books look current, but only the cover and the "free" Linux CDs inside have changed. For example, there are some popular Linux books that continually come out with a new cover and new Linux CDs, for a "new" Linux version, but the content in the book isn't updated nearly as frequently as the cover!If you are new to Linux, getting confused by outdated Linux books is the last thing you want. 2.
