Bill

A lady friend enjoys getting magazines as a little gift. I know I could ask her, But I'm just trying to get and idea as to what would be a good bet. Any age can answer. The only reason I put and age on is that usaully when this question is asked you get a lot of teen magazine responces and I know that would not work.

Answer

How long do I wait?

agent_9009

I've been out of the dating game for about a year now, and the previous relationship was 7 years (i'm 22). I feel I am ready, and I've picked a girl out. This girl i went to HS with, and we talk non stop on msn for the last 3 months. I've been dropping hints that I like her, even wrote poetry sorta bouncing around the idea i liked her, and i know she's read it. The thing is, her last relationship she was in, she was told every day that she is a worthless g/f and shouldn't ever have a b/f. Then at their 5 month anniv, she got dumped. She was so heart broken she almost killed herself. I've asked her in secret ways if she plans on dating soon or ever again. (got to love myspace quizzes). every time she says i don't want a b/f yet, but I'm not a shy guy and i asked her straight up, would you date me? if not now in the future. She said yes...but in the future..and probably not in the near though. I'm willing to wait for her for as long as it takes, How long should i wait?

Answer
I would not formally date her now. I would make sure that you begin to cement a trust of you from her. If she starts to trust you then it becomes easier. Informal dates like lunch or or picnics require a minimal output and has a way of impressing a girl. If you provide her a safe environment, she will gradually warm up to you. Be aware of her vulnerability and those things that she is sensitive about--know what hurts her and discover what pleases her. Buy her the book "A Woman's Worth" by Marianne Williamson, but don't give it to her until after you have read it. After you have read it, inscribe it to her. You seem like the kind of guy who could tell her that she is a good person, a special person with remarkable gifts. Most women are, but they need to know it. If she is beautiful, she needs to know that too. You may also want to tell her that it really doesn't matter what you end up doing, but that her presence is enough.

What do you think is a good amount to donate?

gift for women under $50 image

Notagain

I just found out that one of the women I work with is unable to provide her three children, all under the age of 8, with any Christmas gifts. My husband and I are discussing giving her an anonymous gift of a gift card to ToysRUs. What do you think would be a fair amount to give? We don't have alot but we have some extra cash...any ideas?

Answer
Maybe $50 for each child? That seems to be enough to buy one or two gifts for each child (if you can afford that). If $50 a child is too steep, maybe $30 for each child. I'm sure anything you can give they will be appreciative of.

It's so nice to see someone caring for others in need. God bless you.

Should I pay someone to get traffic to my online business?

martin h

I have a very small business on the internet selling hand-drawn portraits. I only need about 2 or 3 orders a day, which I calculate would require about 8,000 unique visitors per week to my site. Some companies offer to send traffic to your site for as little as 50 dollars. I have very little money to spend on advertising, and I don't know if it would be possible to get thousands of hits without paying for advertising or professional internet marketers. What would you do in this situation?

Answer
Most of those companies are shills who will gladly take your money and drive a slew of useless traffic at your site. You may get that 8,000 visits a day, but you won't have the conversion rates you need to get the orders you want.

Worse yet, if one of the main search engines identifies the site of that company as selling that traffic as a "Link farm" their traffic will drop due to reduced search result ranking.

Here are some better options:

Watermark any images you put online so it's harder for people to steal them and claim they're their own.

Create or participate in a Yahoo Group about the kind of art you do. Use your site URL in your profile and use an @yourdomain e-mail address for the account.

Place ads in the appropriate areas of free sites like craigslist.

Sign up for a Google Analytics account and use the tools it offers to examine your site and see what you can do to optimize your site.

Create an XML site map and link to it appropriately from your robots.txt

Read the guidelines from the big search engines like Yahoo, Google and MSN to see how you can build the site to better fit the kind of site they WANT to index. This is a good idea, because those guidelines are a blueprint for techniques that search engines SUPPORT.

Buy some Google Adwords. If you've already optimized the site and you pick good adwords, you'll see a higher conversion rate than two to three orders out of 8,000 visitors

Offer Valentine's Day discounts under the condition the orders are placed before a certain date.

Post pages from your site to places like Digg and del.icio.us

Advertise Burlesque portraits as a gift for a woman to give her man.

Do a few "Traffic Draw" portraits. Foe example, do a burlesque of Deanna Trio from Star Trek and post it to Digg.com. Depict a sports hero in a Romanesque or Gladiatorial pose and post it to a forum for fans of the sports star's team.

Design an attractive t-shirt that advertises your site, get it printed and wear it around town.

If you drive, put the URL on a bumper sticker and slap it on your car.

You're on a budget, there's no reason to cough up cash when there are so many free or low cost advertising options out there.
