			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2047" title="rapidshare-mediafire" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/rapidshare-mediafire.jpg" alt="rapidshare-mediafire" width="600" height="125" /></div>
<p><strong>Rapidshare</strong> is one of the most popular file hosting servers over the internet. It offers something for everyone to download. Due to its flexibility to upload 200MB’s of data in a single file, it has been the best file sharing service to date.</p>
<p>Now days Rapidshare is being annoying for free users, as users have to wait hours. Nobody wants to wait or pay for a premium account, not even me. At times it is pathetic. One of my friends uploaded a flash file made by him on Rapidshare and gave me the link to download it, now every time I go to download it says you have to wait or purchase a premium account. It’s totally insane, isn’t it?<span id="more-2039"></span></p>
<p>The best alternative of Rapidshare is Mediafire.com, it gives you 200mb single upload. No download tickets needed and you can have unlimited downloads. You can have unlimited storage in all accounts. So you don’t need to create multiple accounts.</p>
<p>So next time try uploading files to Mediafire.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4735" title="web-2.0-with-drink-icons" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/web-2.0-with-drink-icons-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />Web 2.0 is a term coined in recent years that describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aim to enhance creativity, information sharing, collaboration and functionality of the web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social networking sites, video sharing sites, wikis, blogs, and social indexes.</p>
<p>Web 2.0 websites are typically known for the use of CSS, Folksonomies (social tagging, classification, and indexing), Microformats, REST/XML/JSON-based APIs, rich internet applications such as Ajax, Flex, or Flash, semantically valid XHTML and HTML, RSS/Atom syndication and aggregation, weblog-publishing tools, wiki or forum software, and the extended use of internet privacy and content management. Below is a list of the top 15 websites that have been influential in establishing these methods of functionality on the web.<span id="more-1167"></span></p>
<p>1.<strong> </strong><a title="Google" href="http://www.google.com/ig" target="_blank">iGoogle</a><br />
Google has been a rising star for the past decade now, and is officially the largest American corporation not a part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The original site started out as a simple search engine, eventually becoming a wide network of sites and services that include Gmail, Google Maps, Google Docs, Google Talk, Google Desktop, AdWords, Analytics, Picasa, and Google Earth, among others. As a testament to the company’s popularity, the word “Google” was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary as a verb in 2006, meaning “to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the internet.” Google’s “iGoogle” variant site has shown to be a comparable staple on the 2.0 scene.<br />
<a href="http://www.google.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-549" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/32752_igoogle.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>2. <a title="Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com" target="_blank">Flickr</a><br />
With the advent of modern Web 2.0 content, one of the first forms of media to become the cornerstone of user-generated communities was photos. With the popularity of blogging, people began to not only want to share their experiences in text form, but in photo form as well. Hence, this form of visual expression became a popular aspect of the internet. Flickr introduced the ability to upload and share your photos with the world and receive feedback.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-550" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/32752_flickr.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>3. <a title="Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com" target="_blank">Facebook</a><br />
In the natural order of technological evolution, there is always a “new” website that debuts as an advancement over an existing one. For MySpace, that natural evolution was Facebook. In recent years MySpace has become a breeding ground for social abuse, including stalking, child predation, sexuality, and other forms of depravity, including the overuse of cutesy sparkling animated GIFs. What Facebook offered was a straight-forward, minimalistic, accessible social network that cleaned up where MySpace had made a mess. With it’s heightened privacy protocols and lack of profile clutter, Facebook quickly became a popular utility for social networking.<br />
<a href="http://www.facebook.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-551" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/32752_facebook.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>4. <a title="MySpace" href="http://www.myspace.com" target="_blank">MySpace</a><br />
Speaking of MySpace… Rising from the popularity of other social networks like Melodramatic, LiveJournal, and Friendster, MySpace rose to prominence as the premier social network of the 21st century. It offered a bevy of new features and functionality that made it unique, including the ability to embed HTML code directly into your profile in order to customize it to your preferences. Eventually adding additional content such as Music, Videos, Personals, Forums, and Games, MySpace soon became a hub of community-generated content and activity. Like I said in number 3, Facebook, of course, was the natural evolution of the social networking craze started by MySpace.<br />
<a href="http://www.myspace.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-548" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/32752_myspace.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>5. <a title="YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">YouTube</a><br />
As a natural progression, the next form of media to find it’s place on the internet was video. Following in the footsteps of Flickr, YouTube offered users the ability to upload videos to the internet and share them with other users. You could even copy and paste the embed code into your website, such as a MySpace profile, which helped to also promote the customization of social networking systems.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-541" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/32752_youtube.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>6. <a title="Blogger" href="http://www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Blogger</a><br />
Today, Blogger is a part of the Google network of websites, but that wasn’t always the case. Blogger started out in 1999 as an early self-publishing blog utility, which, at the time, had little commercial application. However, with a brand new tool for creative expression now available to the public, Blogger took off like a rocket. With millions of blogs and a new one created every minute, Blogger is no doubt the trailblazer of the modern blogosphere.<br />
<a href="http://www.blogger.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-554" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/32752_blogger.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>7. <a title="Wordpress" href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a><br />
Wordpress, another self-publishing blog utility, is to the open source market what Blogger was to online hosted applications. Feeding off of the popularity of the blogosphere as perpetuated by services like Blogger, LiveJournal and Moveable Type, WordPress was introduced as a standalone package of files that could be installed onto a server by the FTP savvy and configured as a personal blog and website. With a recent rise of DIY-web designers and bloggers, this seemed like the next logical step for internet users who are becoming more adept at content management. With it’s simplicity, usability, and Web 2.0 functionality, WordPress hit Legendary status in no time.<br />
<a href="http://www.wordpress.org"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-543" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_wordpress.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>8. <a title="Wikipedia" href="http://www.wikipedia.org" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a><br />
Nothing exemplifies “user-generated content” more than Wikipedia. As the encyclopedia anyone can edit, Wikipedia is a vast collection of information submitted, edited, and validated by the user.  As quite possibly the world’s largest collaborative effort, the site boasts more than 900,000 unique visits per day and is one of the most frequently referenced sites on the internet.<br />
<a href="http://www.wikipedia.org"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-540" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_wikipedia.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>9. <a title="Yahoo" href="http://www.yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo!</a><br />
Yahoo was one of the earlier frontrunners in the search engine game. They established themselves as a mighty force on the internet before Google had become the powerhouse it is today. However, credit is due to Yahoo as they pioneered the universal internet hub format that is commonly seen on sites such as MSN and iGoogle.<br />
<a href="http://www.yahoo.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-542" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_yahoo.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>10. <a title="Digg" href="http://www.digg.com" target="_blank">Digg</a><br />
With so many blogs and news sites and online videos and other resources, wouldn’t it be nice if there was one place where we could have access to all of the content on the internet at once? Well, there is, and that place is Digg. So many websites offer up some form of content online, and with the widespread use of RSS feeds, it is easier than ever to create an automated hub to provide access to these sites. Users are able to submit links to the site for other users to view, and depending on the popularity of the link, it will either become accessible to even more users or disappear into obscurity. User-generated content has never been easier to share.<br />
<a href="http://www.digg.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-553" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_digg.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>11. <a title="iLike" href="http://www.ilike.com" target="_blank">iLike</a><br />
Without a doubt, the music-sharing revolution of the 21st century was initiated by the debut of the original Napster. It introduced users to the internet music trade and showed the world just how integral the internet is, and can be, to the music industry. Napster was obviously shut down, but it’s spirit lives on in the form of sites like iLike. iLike is a social networking site centered around music that epitomizes the idea of user-generated/maintained/organized content. Users can sample and download songs from upcoming as well as already established artists. iLike stands apart from the rest of the music sites because of its unique Web 2.0 functionality. Not only is it a standalone website, but it also has a Facebook app, an iTunes plugin, and other site/app addons that allow users to constantly stay connected with the world through music.<br />
<a href="http://www.ilike.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-555" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_ilike.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>12. <a title="Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com" target="_blank">Amazon</a><br />
The internet opened many doors, but none as profitable as online stores. Amazon represents an entire niche of websites in the genre of eCommerce. Internet sales have skyrocketed since the advent of online purchases, and have even become comparable to live sales in stores. Amazon is an arena of user-generated content and accessibility that gives people the ability to buy just about anything they want from one of the biggest commercial markets in the world.<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-539" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_amazon.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>13. <a title="eBay" href="http://www.ebay.com" target="_blank">eBay</a><br />
Started out in 1995, eBay was Web 2.0 before the term “Web 2.0″ even existed. EBay introduced online auctions to the internet in a way that nobody had ever seen, and it caught on like wildfire. Today, the site boasts nearly 170 million users and is currently the premier auction site in the world. Since eBay also owns <a title="PayPal" href="http://www.paypal.com" target="_blank">PayPal</a> and <a title="Skype" href="http://www.skype.com" target="_blank">Skype</a>, you can consider this a triple threat.<br />
<a href="http://www.ebay.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-552" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_ebay.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>14. <a title="Twitter" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a><br />
Twitter is a social network that takes the focus away from bulky profiles and side-features and provides an emphasized use of the communication qualities of modern networks. As a tool for trading “comments,” Twitter allows you to maintain flowing conversations and stay in touch with friends and random users.<br />
<a href="http://www.twitter.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-545" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_twitter.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>
<p>15. <a title="Creative Commons" href="http://www.creativecommons.com" target="_blank">Creative Commons</a><br />
With the rise of user-generated content on the internet, it’s only natural that users would want to protect that content so as to prevent intellectual theft. Creative Commons provides just that. With many Web 2.0 elements in itself, CC allows users to claim “some rights reserved” for their projects and content. In an environment where legal copyrights often do not apply, it is refreshing to have an element of “Web 2.0 Protection” on the internet.<br />
<a href="http://www.creativecommons.com"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-546" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/a94f8_cc.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="100" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="byline" style="font-style: italic;">by Darrell Price</div>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-985" title="credit score" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/credit-score-300x283.jpg" alt="credit score" width="300" height="283" />In the economy of current economic events, it is more important than ever to keep your credit rating good. However, if you don&#8217;t have good credit or if it has been damaged because of an unfortunate circumstance such as loosing your job, you can start the process of rebuilding your credit immediately. This usually required a two-pronged approach where you have errors removed and your scores increase.</p>
<p>One of the biggest mistakes people make when they consider restoring their credit is to neglect the rebuilding part of restoration. Getting errors removed from your history is only part of the whole process. The goal should be to remove derogatory information from your files and to increase your loan qualifying amount.<span id="more-972"></span></p>
<p>To increase your credit standing, you have to start opening new accounts. These accounts can range from secured credit cards to charge accounts issued by major retailers. To engage in the process of removing derogatory information with a plan to rebuild credit is fruitless. Without the latter, you are no better off.</p>
<p>People shy away from rebuilding their credit for different reasons. Some think they should wait until erroneous information should be expelled from their credit report before applying for a loan. This is the right way since it increases the chances of getting approved. However, the problem that many face is that removing these errors does not guarantee that your FICO scores will increase.</p>
<p>By disputing errors and mistakes in your credit files, you can get them removed. However, this does not mean you scores will automatically rise. In some cases, removing data from your credit history can leave you with insufficient data for creditors to make an accurate appraisal of your credit and may cause your FICO score to drop even further.</p>
<p>So where did the FICO scoring system come from? FICO stands for Fair Isaac and Company and was named after the creator of this scoring model. Even though the actual formula has never been made public, you can easily see how it is used for your or against you in determining your credit scores.</p>
<p>FICO is like your big brother watching your every spending move. Think of it like someone constantly watching and monitoring the way you manage money and debts. The great news is that the historical information which assigned your current credit score is not engraved in stone. You can start to improve your scores at any time.</p>
<p>Good credit expert will always advise you to get a secured credit card as a part of any credit repair program. This is one of the most effective ways to increase your rating and improve your standing. With this type of card, you have to fund the account for the amount you plan to charge. While you may think a secured card is useless, each time you use it, your FICO scores actually start increasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="byline" style="font-style: italic;">by Craig Calvin</div>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4744" title="six-sigma" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/six-sigma.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="275" />DFSS, Design for Six Sigma, is a fast growing development managing tactic coupled to the standard Six Sigma process.  When you are working with the Six Sigma process your are trying to achieve organization and performance improvements, within your company.  With DFSS, you are trying to find out the client or business requirements, and incorporate them into the solution that you form.  When you are working with DFSS you are focus on procedure creation instead of enhancement.</p>
<p>Some terms that are associated with DFSS include; DMADV, this is an acronym that stands for Define &#8211; Measure &#8211; Design &#8211; Verify and DMAIC, standing for Define &#8221; Measure &#8221; Analyze &#8221; Improve &#8221; Control.<span id="more-931"></span></p>
<p>The purpose of DFSS is to eliminate problems within the manufacturing process at the start of a new effort by making use of the latest customer input, and system dsign processes. The combination of customer input and the design processes will ensure that the customers needs are being met, while designing a system that allows for changing needs and future growth to ensure customer satisfaction. When done properly, the use of DFSS ensures customer satisfaction, and results in an improvement of business rates. DFSS encompasses tools, processes and design systems that will guide the process life cycle, and guarantees that the final product will meet all of the customers needs by fulfilling all of the requirements.</p>
<p>Initially DFSS was made partly as Six Sigma companies realized that optimization of a product or products was almost impossible over three or four Sigma if they did not totally recreate the same in a new way, which means that Six Sigma grades of functioning have to be built-in or have to be present in the design of the product itself. While one can assert that DFSS and DMAIC are more or less similar processes, in reality, the working way varies as DFSS needs diverse sets of tools to carry out its system design functions. DMAIC Six Sigma might be even now, be in use for scrutiny of system architecture and &#8220;back end&#8221; Six Sigma procedures, while DFSS offers system design procedures utilized in front-end complicated system plans.</p>
<p>The primary focus of Six Sigma DMAIC is to improve the existing processes within an organization. Six Sigma DFSS is focused on the enhancement and optimization of existing systems, utilizing the input of all relevant stakeholders. Traditional Six Sigma may also utilize the input of customers, vendors and regulatory requirements, however the focus is not on enhancement, as it is with DFSS.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5358" title="Credit-Score-Dropped" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Credit-Score-Dropped.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="595" /></p>
<p>Are you considering the process of repairing your credit? One of the most important things you can do, apart from getting errors and mistakes removed from your credit report, is to keep your credit in good standing with lending institutions. You can get all of the information from a credit repair expert or by doing some research online.</p>
<p>People often make the mistake of doing everything they need to do to insure that their credit report is free from erroneous errors. This is only part of the overall process to credit rebuilding. The other half of the equation means you have to also start raising your scores to increase your credit worthiness.<br />
<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4231" title="credit-score-chart" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/credit-score-chart-205x300.gif" alt="" width="205" height="300" /></p>
<p>To raise your credit score, you will have to open new charge accounts or get new credit cards. This requires a sense of spending discipline so you don&#8217;t end up in the same shape you are trying to repair. Repairing your reports by disputing the information in your files is different than the process of increasing your FICO score.<span id="more-729"></span></p>
<p>Many people either avoid the process of repairing their credit when they should while others seem only approach the process when they are in need of a loan. Seriously, you should always be on top of your credit information. This is the only way to spot trouble before it has a chance to negatively affect you.</p>
<p>When you start disputing the information in your files, most often you can get the errors removed. Over time this will add tremendous value to your rating as it helps in reshaping your credit. If you have a low credit rating, doing this can sometimes hurt your FICO scores. Why? Because most often, you will have insufficient data in your credit files once this data is removed.</p>
<p>So what is FICO and where did it originate? The term FICO stand for Fair Isaac and Company, who was the original creator of the model that is used to measure your credit worthiness. While the actual formula has never been made public, the effects of the formula can be seen as bankers and lenders use this information to interpret and assign your credit rating.</p>
<p>FICO is like your big brother watching your every spending move. Think of it like someone constantly watching and monitoring the way you manage money and debts. The great news is that the historical information which assigned your current credit score is not engraved in stone. You can start to improve your scores at any time.</p>
<p>Good credit expert will always advise you to get a secured credit card as a part of any credit repair program. This is one of the most effective ways to increase your rating and improve your standing. With this type of card, you have to fund the account for the amount you plan to charge. While you may think a secured card is useless, each time you use it, your FICO scores actually start increasing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="byline" style="font-style: italic;">by Gilbert Lawson</div>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4242" title="credit-score-numbers" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/credit-score-numbers.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="179" />Credit repair typically takes some time. It is frequently a time-consuming, drawn-out course to get incorrect and erroneous information deleted from your credit reports and to get your credit score improved. However, there are a few actions that you can take that will get you in progress quicker.</p>
<p>The very 1st measure to take when it comes to repairing your credit reports is to get a up-to-date facsimile of your credit reports from all of the three foremost credit bureaus, TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Every year you are entitled to a free credit report from every bureau or you can also pay a cost and receive a tri-merged report. The companies that promote &#8220;free credit reports&#8221; will get you the free of charge report but they also usually try to persuade you to buy further services that you may not need. Get the details and make an informed choice before you opt to acquire further services. You can get a free report on your own without the assistance of any company that is advertising right now. <span id="more-704"></span></p>
<p>There are a couple of practical steps you can take to commence to improve your credit. Initially you can ask for a credit card. However, you may not be able to get a conventional credit card if you have shoddy credit scores. You can always get a secured credit card, however. You will need to put a deposit into an account and use that account as guarantee. Just be sure that you keep the balance well below 20% of the accessible credit and make all of the payments on time.</p>
<p>One factor that is imperative when repairing credit is to pay down any unsettled amounts. Your credit score from FICO is based moderately upon your debt to available credit proportion. As soon as you are able you should pay down any unpaid amounts to under 20% of the obtainable line of credit. Any further credit cards as well as the secured cards should also be beneath 20% of the accessible amount.</p>
<p>If you have a variety of credit cards, you may think about merging all of the debt onto the oldest card. Credit scores are also based upon the extent of credit history. An older account is always more beneficial than a newer account when it comes to your credit score.</p>
<p>When you are preparing to start writing disputes on your wrong credit, you should pay close consideration to all collection accounts. A lot of of these accounts show up as duplicates because of bad reporting when an account is sold. The same account can show up with the original lender and even more than one collection organization.</p>
<p>Collection agencies also sell loans between themselves so the same account can essentially show up a couple of distinct times with various collection companies and the original lender. Verify out all of the collection accounts very meticulously. Make telephone calls to verify that they possess the account. Unless you essentially had more than one account originally make sure that only one listing is reported per credit account.</p>
<p>If you take action on a couple of these items you will in next to no time be on your road to excellent credit. It can take time to achieve the process but doing a few of these items can get you started rather quickly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="byline" style="font-style: italic;">by Taylor Figurn</div>
<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4746" title="job-interview" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/job-interview-300x261.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="261" />Bad economies all over the globe have rendered many people without work. Finding a job has become increasingly competitive, challenging and often times impossible. If you know where to begin looking and if you could put more effort into it, your chances of finding one are much better.</p>
<p>Persistence pays off.  So after a long and patient wait, you finally have gotten one company contact you for an interview invitation. You&#8217;re excited but of course you don&#8217;t want to mess this up and spoil your chances for a possible job. You really should prepare and get yourself focused.<span id="more-623"></span></p>
<p>When was the last time you needed to interview for a new job?  A job interview can be a stressful task for most would be workers. It is the time when one proves his skills to a potential employer. It is the time when you can possibly increase your opportunity for a much better life or a much better future. The ultimate goal that you will have for the interview is to land the job.  If you make the necessary preparation in advance, you will find that you will deal with the situation confidently. Here are a few ideas to help you prepare for the big day.<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4747" title="first-impressions" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/first-impressions.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="286" /></p>
<p>First impressions mean everything.  Make sure you dress like a professional for it. During your interview, you need to make a good impression by wearing an outfit that projects professionalism and competency. Dark colored suits that are conservative apply to both women and men. It is also very important to groom your hair well and wear only a few accessories. You do not want to distract your interviewer&#8217;s attention to your big dangling earrings or for them to be bothered by something else inappropriate.</p>
<p>Punctuality is very important.  Arrive early for the job interview. Make sure you aren&#8217;t late.  Getting there on time shows respect and makes a good first impression. This also allows you enough time to relax for a few moments and perform a personal check-up before the interview begins. Arriving around ten minutes before you were scheduled is advisable.   If you arrive too early, just wait outdoors.  It is normally wise to research about the location of your appointment and the time it would take to travel. Also, give yourself an extra twenty minutes to compensate for any possible delays on the highway.  If you know you will be late, it is common courtesy to notify the other person.  Otherwise, your chances are lousy.</p>
<p>Learning as much as possible about the company prior to the interview will give you a substantial advantage over other applicants. Do some serious research on the company itself and take note of the products or services they offer.  Learn as much as possible about their type of business, customers, competitors and other related information. This will also make you and the interviewer comfortable in talking about their company.</p>
<p>Put enough thought into the job description ahead of time.  Match your skills with the job description. This is one means of making sure that your skills match the company&#8217;s posted requirements. While in the interview, highlight specific occurrences of how your skills will make an ideal for the specific position.</p>
<p>Make a list of important questions that you would like to know about the company and the position advertised. The job interview is a perfect avenue where you can explore the opportunity of working for your potential employer and at the same time, learn much more about the company. Preparing a list in advance will give the impression that you are wiser than other potential applicants.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t skimp when preparing for the interview.  You have put far too much effort into getting this far.  It would be a darn shame to squander it.  You can&#8217;t be too well prepared for a job interview.  It simply is not possible.  It can only help you to stand out from the other job applicants.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4750" title="microsoft-and-yahoo" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/microsoft-and-yahoo.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="218" /></p>
<div><a title="Microsoft" href="http://microsoft.com" target="_blank">Microsoft</a> and <a title="Yahoo" href="http://yahoo.com" target="_blank">Yahoo</a> are joining forces in an effort to compete with <a title="Google" href="http://google.co.uk" target="_blank">Google</a> in the search wars. Yahoo algorithmic results will be powered by the Microsoft / <a title="Bing" href="http://bing.com" target="_blank">Bing</a> algorithm and the paid results will be powered by <a title="AdCenter" href="https://adcenter.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">AdCenter</a>.</div>
<p>The announcement is good news because it’s clear that the two companies can’t compete with Google by themselves. I doubt it will make much difference in the UK because Yahoo has a very small market share as shown in the <a title="Hitwise data" href="http://www.hitwise.co.uk/datacenter/main/dashboard-7323.html" target="_blank">Hitwise data</a> below.<span id="more-610"></span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2738" title="Search market share" src="http://www.makecashnow.biz/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/c45d8_hitwisesearch.gif" alt="Search market share" width="385" height="301" /></p>
<p>The only drawback is that rollout is expected within 24 months following regulatory approval by which time Twitter or Facebook will probably have more search volume.</p>
<ul>
<li>Microsoft will acquire an exclusive 10 year license to Yahoo!’s core search technologies, and Microsoft will have the ability to integrate Yahoo! search technologies into its existing web search platforms;</li>
<li>Microsoft’s Bing will be the exclusive algorithmic search and paid search platform for Yahoo! sites. Yahoo! will continue to use its technology and data in other areas of its business such as enhancing display advertising technology.</li>
<li>Yahoo! will become the exclusive worldwide relationship sales force for both companies’ premium search advertisers. Self-serve advertising for both companies will be fulfilled by Microsoft’s AdCenter platform, and prices for all search ads will continue to be set by AdCenter’s automated auction process.</li>
<li>Each company will maintain its own separate display advertising business and sales force.</li>
<li>Yahoo! will innovate and “own” the user experience on Yahoo! properties, including the user experience for search, even though it will be powered by Microsoft technology.</li>
<li>Microsoft will compensate Yahoo! through a revenue sharing agreement on traffic generated on Yahoo!’s network of both owned and operated (O&amp;O) and affiliate sites.</li>
<li>Microsoft will pay traffic acquisition costs (TAC) to Yahoo! at an initial rate of 88% of search revenue generated on Yahoo!’s O&amp;O sites during the first 5 years of the agreement.</li>
<li>Yahoo! will continue to syndicate its existing search affiliate partnerships.</li>
<li>Microsoft will guarantee Yahoo!’s O&amp;O revenue per search (RPS) in each country for the first 18 months following initial implementation in that country.</li>
<li>At full implementation (expected to occur within 24 months following regulatory approval), Yahoo! estimates, based on current levels of revenue and current operating expenses, that this agreement will provide a benefit to annual GAAP operating income of approximately $500 million and capital expenditure savings of approximately $200 million. Yahoo! also estimates that this agreement will provide a benefit to annual operating cash flow of approximately $275 million.</li>
<li>The agreement protects consumer privacy by limiting the data shared between the companies to the minimum necessary to operate and improve the combined search platform, and restricts the use of search data shared between the companies. The agreement maintains the industry-leading privacy practices that each company follows today.</li>
