10 Questions To Help You Improve Yourself and Your Life

Every person wants to improve himself/herself to become the best he/she can be. In order to help one to do just that, one should analyze himself/herself with these 10 questions.

1. What do I really want?

So simple a question, yet so difficult to answer. The ultimate answer to this question lies in finding something you are good at, but also enjoy doing. The only way you can know for sure whether you want to do this for a good part of your life is through due diligence of doing that activity for a while.

1. Should I really change?

This question deals with whether you really want to make changes to your current lifestyle. This will take time and effort; the question is, is it worth it to you to put in this time and effort to change your lifestyle? What are the reasons for changing your lifestyle? Only you can answer the question of whether it’s worth it or not.

1. What’s the bright side in all of this?

This questions should remind you that analyzing your life and deciding whether to change your lifestyle or not should not be seen as a negative or as an interrogation, but rather, as a way to grow and become a better person, no matter whether you decide to make changes to your lifestyle or not.

1. Am I comfortable with what I’m doing?

This question should remind you that you should be comfortable in your lifestyle because you are a unique individual. Your tastes in fashion, food, recreation, humor, etc. won’t be the same as anyone else’s, and it shouldn’t be the same. No one’s tastes should be exactly the same as anyone else’s.

1. Have I done enough for myself?

This question should help you focus on whether there is something more you want to do in your life, such as take up a new hobby, help out with a charitable cause, get more involved in community gatherings, go to or go back to college, etc. In small doses, discontentment can help propel you to want to achieve more in your life.

1. Am I happy at where I am today?

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, every person tries to strive to be the best person he/she can be. If you’re doing something well, see if you can do it even better. Or, see if you can do something else just as well as the first activity; even try doing both activities at a high level at the same time.

1. Am I appealing to the opposite sex?

No matter what improvements you make to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex, including getting in better physical shape, becoming more intelligent, wearing different clothing, wearing your hair in a different style, etc., you will improve yourself regardless of whether you attract that special someone you want to attract or not.

1. How much could I have?

This question focuses on how hard you are working and how hard you want to work. Just about everyone wants lots of money, a great home, a great car, the ability to go on long vacations whenever they choose, but the question is, are you willing to do what it takes to achieve those desires and dreams? Only you have the power to improve your life if you truly want to.

1. What motivates me?

This question will cause you to really focus on what drives you in your life, whether it be your faith, your desire for a better lifestyle, your wanting to please others and fit in with them, etc. You have to examine deep-down what really causes you to want to excel in all that you do.

1. What really makes you tick?

This question focuses on the idea that you can be just about anything you want to be, but if you start focusing too much on the obstacles in your way to that dream, then you are already allowing yourself to be defeated before you can even begin achieving that dream. You can overcome virtually any obstacle if you really want that dream, but the real question is, how badly do you want that dream and what are you willing to do to reach that dream (within legal and ethical limits, of course)?

Affiliate Marketing authority site buzz marketing Internet Marketing Niche Marketing online marketer Traffic Tactics web2.0

As Web 2.0 becomes less of just a buzzword and more of a reality, the types of sites webmasters need to publish will increasingly become more important. In other words, mini-sites are slowly dying and cookie-cutter article sites are on the way out as well. Web surfers will become more value-focused and web companies will become larger.

Over the next few years expect larger conglomerates to be buying up profitable websites in their chosen markets. Expect smaller sites to either be bought or driven out of business. My intention is not to scare you, but this outcome is inevitable.

Large businesses have always taken two approaches to their desired markets. They either buy their competition or they push them out of business. You want to be prepared when this trend begins on the Internet.

Being a webmaster and online marketer, you should be preparing for one of two scenarios. To position yourself for a buyout to a larger company or to become the larger company that dominates your chosen market.

Whichever route you choose is entirely up to you, but I would suggest that it would be in your best interest to begin focusing on authority sites. You can either start building them or turning your current sites into them. Whatever your approach may be, I assure you it will help you sleep better at night.

What Is the Definition of an Authority Site?

A fairly comprehensible authority site definition was put forward by Jason Dowdell of Global Promoter. Jason defined it this way: …quot;Authority sites are sites that have been linked to and referenced on other web sites covering the same subject matter and they also will have hundreds if not thousands of pages covering that subject matter and nearly every facet of it….quot;

That definition is one man’s opinion, albeit a good one, but let us go directly to the source. Many search engine optimization and search engine marketing experts believe Google has derived their primary algorithm from a document titled, “Hilltop: A Search Engine based on Expert Documents.”

The PageRank formula as we know it today was derived from this paper, and the authors, Bharat and Mihaila, define an authority site in the text below:

“We believe a page is an authority on the query topic if and only if some of the best experts on the query topic point to it. Of course in practice some expert pages may be experts on a broader or related topic. If so, only a subset of the hyperlinks on the expert page may be relevant.”

“In such cases the links being considered have to be carefully chosen to ensure that their qualifying text matches the query. By combining relevant out-links from many experts on the query topic we can find the pages that are most highly regarded by the community of pages related to the query topic. This is the basis of the high relevance that our algorithm delivers.”

What we have reprinted above is the foundation of the PageRank system and the determination for deciding which sites will be authorities. I highly recommend you read and re-read the full document until you understand every aspect of it.

What Are the Components of an Authority Site?

Allow me to present you with a diagram at: http://www.contentdesk.com/authoritymap that dissects your typical authority site. As you can tell from the diagram, a considerable number of components and systems must be in place for the authority site to function profitably and reap the benefits of the “Authority Site Formula.”

The Authority Site Formula = Visitor Optimization (VO) + Content Optimization (CO) * Creative Marketing (CM)

A simple question must be asked. What do 99.9% of authority sites provide? In a sentence, an incredible amount of original content and a superb visitor experience. The search engines want you to succeed and they want you to make money, but you have to play by their rules. In the future, focus your efforts on visitor optimization and content optimization instead of search engine optimization.

What Is the Anatomy of an Authority Site?

About.com is the definition and was the original authority site. Their site has a generic domain name and hundreds of subdomains on different topics.

Your authority site should take the same approach, but not on such a general level. If you launch an authority site, it should be geared towards a well-defined and large market. After you launch the site and generate some traffic, you should create subdomains that cover specific areas inside that larger market.

For example, Diabetic-Resources.Com is not an active site; but if it were, then a typical authority site setup would be something like:

• http://supplies.diabetic-resoures.com * http://diet.diabetic-resources.com * http://insurance.diabetic-resources.com * http://symptoms.diabetic-resources.com * http://treatment.diabetic-resources.com

Using this approach, you are able to target your general market while generating more targeted traffic pertaining to related sub-markets.

As a rule of thumb, the index pages on your domains and subdomains should be more focused on content, but the article and commentary pages should be more focused on advertising. Just do not ever lose sight of the most important aspect of your site, which is visitor experience otherwise known as visitor optimization.

What Does It Take to Create an Authority Site?

You want to create a site that generates thousands of visitors a day mainly through the major search engines, and would ultimately be the one-stop source for information in that particular market.

Your site must employ three traits to become an authority site. Let’s discuss all three necessary aspects:

Dynamic: You should have as many RSS feeds as you can muster to incorporate throughout your site. Your visitors need to be able to receive RSS feeds for any keyword, category or archive as well as create their own. One feed is no longer enough to satisfy your visitors.

Interactive: You should be engaging the minds of your visitors at all times using surveys, commenting and feedback. Make these features easy for your visitors and your site will grow exponentially. Why? Because they feel like you actually care about them. Interaction is a powerful tool and creates a sense of community on your site.

Consistent: You should post to your blog often, and you should always provide quality and original content. That doesn’t mean you need to produce 800-word articles three times a week. Your goal should be to become a news master. You need to be an …quot;authority…quot; on the news happening in your niche.

If you follow the steps and guidelines listed above, then you will be on your way to being the owner of an authority site.

To your success,
