				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Deep linking is a proven method for helping to raise a website&#8217;s rankings.  Larger websites in particular can benefit from deep linking since not every page can be linked from the home page.  <a href="http://www.calcmaster.net/linkspawn/">LinkSpawn</a> is one way that deep links can be managed automatically for large websites with very little effort.</p>
<h3>Links and Deep Linking</h3>
<p>No website will achieve high search engine rankings without links.  Search engines use links not only to determine a page&#8217;s relevancy but also to determine which pages will be indexed.  Search engines do not index every web page and pages that do not receive good links may be left out.</p>
<p>Deep linking is linking to pages other than the home page of a website.  Any web page that has high quality unique content will attract links from other websites.  But it&#8217;s always a good idea to follow up new content with some active link building.  Deep linking helps the ranking of the pages that are linked which also helps the site&#8217;s relevancy in general.  Building deep links to highly relevant web pages solidifies a website&#8217;s position as king of its niche.  As a website is expanded, deep links also ensure that new pages receive just as much attention as established pages.</p>
<p>With larger websites it can sometimes be difficult to organize a deep linking campaign beyond the first few levels.  With today&#8217;s high performance database driven websites tens of thousands of pages can be added in a short period of time and they all need links.  Manually organizing deep links to ensure that each page is well indexed can be a daunting task.</p>
<h3>LinkSpawn Automates Deep Linking</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.calcmaster.net/linkspawn/">LinkSpawn</a> automates the work of distributing deep links across content networks to raise the visibility of each and every page.  LinkSpawn a website and it will create a custom RSS feed that provides links for all the pages of a website.  LinkSpawn automatically crawls the entire website and stores the URLs and page titles.  Each time the RSS feed is fetched, LinkSpawn will randomly select a different set of links for the feed.  Publish the given RSS feed to as many different websites and web pages as possible.  As Google picks up the links published through the RSS feeds it is more likely that the linked pages will be indexed and their relevancy will increase.</p>
<p>LinkSpawn makes it possible to harness thousands of pages to automatically deep link to any website.  There is also an option for a custom link list to highlight only the most important pages or even multiple domains.  The custom link lists make it easy to update a set of most important links and feed that into hundreds or thousands of pages.</p>
<h3>Content is King But It&#8217;s an Orphan Without Links</h3>
<p>Google has always stated that its goal is to provide the search results to the highest quality content it can find.  The Penguin update proved that high quality content can rank with the best linked websites around.  But without good indexing from a deep linking strategy, some of that content may never see the SERPs.  <a href="http://www.calcmaster.net/linkspawn/">LinkSpawn</a> can help automatically feed deep links to a content network but whatever method is chosen, deep links are a necessity in today&#8217;s SEO strategy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I could just as easily have called this <strong>&#8220;How to get free links in 5 minutes for an established site&#8221;</strong> but the concept is the same.  You&#8217;ve built a website, spent an inordinate amount of time writing quality unique content, but you want more incoming links.  All that linkbait isn&#8217;t sitting there doing nothing.  It&#8217;s probably attracting more attention than you think.  Here&#8217;s what to do.</p>
<ol>
<li>Log in to your <a href="http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/" target="_blank">Google Webmaster Tools</a></li>
<li>Navigate to Health -&gt; Crawl Errors  and click on &#8220;Not found.&#8221;</li>
<li>These are all the pages that people have tried to link to you but mis-typed the link</li>
<li>Create <a title="Web Site Redirection – How to Implement a 301 Redirect" href="http://www.calcmaster.net/linkspawn/301-redirect/" target="_blank">301 redirects</a> from the broken pages to good pages</li>
<li>You&#8217;ve just fixed broken links and made them good links again.</li>
</ol>
<p>It&#8217;s incredible that people have taken the time to link to you but not taken the time to get the link right but it happens all the time.  Recovering these broken links can definitely help boost your SEO rankings and should be checked on a regular basis.</p>
<p>A great way to distribute a large number of links across many pages is to use LinkSpawn.  <a href="/linkspawn/">LinkSpawn</a> crawls entire websites and feeds links via a plugin or RSS to another blog or website.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Governor Bev Perdue&#8217;s proposed budget will eliminate teacher jobs by forcing cuts at the County level, avoiding having her name associated with these job losses.</p>
<p>Governor Bev Perdues <a href="http://www.wral.com/news/state/nccapitol/story/9126813/">proposed budget</a> takes serious fiscal action to correct North Carolina&#8217;s projected deficit, which is what is needed to correct our state&#8217;s more than $2 billion budget shortfall.Governor Perdue has promised not to teacher jobs or teacher assistants in her plan. However, she has moved some education costs such as buying school buses and workers compensation to the Counties so the state won&#8217;t have to pay this any more. This will almost certainly result in lost teachers&#8217; jobs but Perdue would be able to blame the Counties and claim immunity.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.usgovernmentspending.com/North_Carolina_state_spending.html#usgs302a">education portion of the budget</a> is about 21% so it seems almost certain that education budgets must be cut to balance it. However, today in the news are <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wisconsin-protests-news-wisconsin-governor-scott-walkers-proposal/story?id=12942012">protests in Wisconsin</a> over teacher jobs that are scaring politicians across the country. Ultimately, Governor Perdue just doesn&#8217;t have the courage to put her name on the teacher job cuts she knows are coming.</p>
<p>The budget proposed by Governor Perdue is ultimately a bill that will cut teacher jobs, but Perdue can blame the Counties and attempt to save her political image. This plan is likely to raise a stink in each of our 100 Counties and leave Governor Perdue smelling like a rose.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In 1776, Thomas Jefferson and our other forefathers produced the Declaration of Independence, the foundation of our country, our freedom, and our Choice. As a free nation, we declared certain truths to be self-evident and of the natural order, that we have the inalienable Choice of our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.</p>
<p>This Choice is what defines American freedom. The Choice of the People is above the choice of any government. The American Government was created to &#8220;provide new Guards for [our Choices'] future security.&#8221; The existence of a government is to solely provide this security, the Choice of the individual People.</p>
<p>It is our Bill of Rights which spells out in detail this right to Choice. The rights of the People guaranteed, apart from the responsibilities given the Government in the rest of the Constitution. This Bill of Rights guarantees us the choice to our faith, the choice to our speech, the choice to press and publication. The People are given the right of choice to bear arms, so that we may provide our own protection to our Life and our Liberty. This freedom of Choice is to be free from hindrance of our Government, so we are guaranteed due process and protection against unreasonable searches and self-incrimination. And the rights not specifically given to our national Government are reserved for our States and our People.</p>
<p>These freedoms are Choices. We have the freedom to speak, but we are not required to do so. We have the freedom to arm ourselves, but we are not required to carry a gun. Our Government provides protection for these choices through our many laws. The idea is that these Choices will be protected, except where they may infringe upon the Choices of other People. The freedom to choose is of the Natural Law. It is self-evident regardless of political persuasion or religious ideals.</p>
<p>It is these Choices that we the People wish to protect. It is when these choices are disregarded or diminished that we, the People, become most angry.</p>
<p>It is widely accepted that the American health care system needs quite a bit of work. But the causes, extent of the problems, and how to address these problems make for extremely polarizing debate. Most Americans welcome the benefits of the reform that is currently being debated. Provide a way to insure those with pre-existing conditions. Prevent insurance companies from dropping coverage at will. Limit health expenses and reduce costs. Provide easier, more affordable ways to get health insurance. Change the medical environment that encourages cost explosion. Who wouldn&#8217;t want these things? Why are half of Americans against these changes for their own benefit?</p>
<p>In our current system, we do not have a lot of choice over our own health care. It is the insurance companies&#8217; choice if we get coverage and how much we get. It is the health providers&#8217; choice how much it will cost. It is our government&#8217;s choice how the insurance companies and the health providers operate and in which States. These are the things which we reject. These are the things that must change. Choice must be returned to the People.</p>
<p>With the plan presented by the Congress, this choice has been reduced, ignored, even trampled upon. Politicians are having a hard time giving benefits away, and many do not understand why. We the People demand the Choice, it is our right and our freedom. For anyone else, including (or especially) the Government to take the choice away from the health care system, only to give it to themselves instead of the People, is a violation of our Declaration of Independence and our Bill of Rights. When the Government is ready to return the Choice to the People, they will have my full support, and the support of many others.</p>
<p>Note: For those who thought that this would be an article about abortion, I want to address the confusion about abortion and choice. Let me be clear. Abortion is the complete negative, the opposite of choice. For 92% of women who have abortions, it was their choices which led to their pregnancy. The science that a baby not yet born is in fact a living, unique person, with their own DNA, is indisputable. For the other 8% of women who were victims of rape, incest, or health conditions, it was not their choice to be in their position. That choice was removed from them and it is a grievous evil. It was also not their child&#8217;s choice to be created, that opportunity is not provided to any of us. But to remove the choice of life from a living child is also a wrong, against the Natural Law, which cannot make up for any other wrong. For this reason it is important that all of us do whatever we can to help those women around us who are in desperate need. These are not problems which can be solved by laws or governments, but by People.</p>
