You see a lot of strange stuff on television late when you stay up late at night.

Those J.G. Wentworth commercials I just recently found out are seen nationwide, I thought it was strange because the production quality was so low that it had to be local.

One series of commercials I know for a fact are just local, but deserve to be seen globally:

Yes, those commercials are real and frequent…

But Mark Norton and his furniture store isn’t the focus of this article, it’s the gorgeous TV preacher who I constantly see when I channel surf late at night.

Pastor Melissa Scott preaches in a Canadian sounding accent in front of a white board covered in insane looking scribblings on late night TV, her webcast, and I wouldn’t doubt she’s probably on at a decent hour on other channels on Sundays.

After looking at her for a split second, I realized that she’s too hott to be a TV preacher–I knew there had to be something behind the scenes…. I expected to find naked pictures of some hot chick, what I found was a bona fide internet conspiracy.

Weather your a graphics designer, a writer, a systems administrator or just your simple run of the mill computer guy that people turn to for help, you should consider becoming a freelancer to make some extra cash. Why? Well who doesn’t want to make more money? Please everyone in the crowd who does not want to make money raise your hand. All those in favor of making money please say ‘Aye’.

Thank You.

Let me tell you a bit about Scriptlance. As you can see Flyninja supports Scriptlance. I get work from there all the time and it is so easy to make money its ridiculous. The site posts hundreds of different types of computer related jobs that people and companies are seeking to have done that anyone in their right mind would be crazy to not take the opportunity to at least try it out. Some of these jobs are so easy you can do quite a few of them in a days time, heck within an 8 hour period you can make more than your average person working in a factory, likely in less than 8 hours.

Some of the jobs posted there can be complex, but hey whats wrong with making a quick buck for installing some guys CMS for him, or installing and configuring WordPress with a theme? How about making a logo for someone, or making a logo for 5 other people at 20-30 bucks a pop, you can accomplish that within 2 hours. Thats pretty good if you ask me, and thats why I freelance there. Goto a lot of other freelancing sites and they may just have jobs that are from Scriptlance.

There is really no way for me to completely convince you guys, it’s just something you need to go and check out for yourselves, you get there from here by clicking this link, or use one of the banners on any part of this site.

Oh btw don’t forget to stop in and check out all our great affiliates and partners of Flyninja!

The internet is home to a staggering amount of information, a colossal number both in terms of diversity and physical number of different categories covered. Think of a giant, virtual library, with websites from each different section of the library, and search engines as the ever faithful librarian. When you use a search engine, whichever it may be, the process on our part is rather simple, and this simplicity belies the complex algorithms involved.

Whatever you enter into the search engine bar, the search engine makes use of a series of web crawling programs called spiders that will search through the databases looking for any and all relevant matches for your “question”, that is, the value you have entered. These results are then displayed, and you will notice that they are returned in order, with (for some curious reason) a few lines of text, with certain words, or phrases emboldened (in solid black). The returned values from the search engine, that contain these words/phrases embolden will match either fully or partially the value you entered into the search engine. What this means therefore, is that the user can see at a glance the websites that are most relevant (or most likely to be) and choose them accordingly.

All of this fine…but one crucial question remains. How does the search engine determine this list, and what is deemed to be the “most relevant site”? SEO: search engine optimization is the means used to optimize the efficiency of a site, so that the ranking it has on a search engine is higher, thereby meaning that more people will be likely to visit it. Typically, the more popular a site, then the greater number of sales, and or increased advertising revenue.

Traffic in the context of the internet means very simply the number of visitors to any given website. Even if your site is not sales based, or you don’t make use of advertising, your webpage is still valued (should you ever choose to sell it) based on several factors key of which is the amount of traffic you get be it daily/weekly/monthly.

So….how to actually lure people to your site? Well, given the astronomical numbers of websites on the internet, you are facing some pretty stiff competition, if you want to get an increased level traffic. As with most if not all of the internet sub-culture, there are two very broad categories in relation to SEO:

-blackhat

-whitehat.
