OSA Mountain Village

Osa Mountain Village

Costa Rica: Costa Rica is an independent democracy located in Central America. It is situated between Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south. It has coasts on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It is slightly larger than the state of West Virginia and has a population of approximately 4.2 million, similar to Detroit or Phoenix. Most of the population is concentrated in the Central Valley around the capitol of San Jose. Approximate flight times from the United States are: Miami-3 hours, Houston-3.5 hours, New York-5 hours, Los Angeles-6 hours. No visa is required for US citizens to visit Costa Rica.

Osa Mountain Village: Osa Mountain Village is located in the pristine Southern Zone along Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast where the mountains meet the ocean. The most beautiful beaches in the country are only 30 minutes away. It sits at an elevation of 2,000 feet yet lies only a few miles from the coast. Driving time from San Jose is about 4 hours. There is a small airport 20 minutes away. Flight time from San Jose to this airport is about 1 hour. A new international airport is planned and will be located 45 minutes from the community.

Land Area: The project is located on 700+ acres of pristine tropical rain forest mountain property. Less than 3% of the land will be used for the project. The rest will be set aside as a jungle playground and nature preserve to give indigenous animals and plants a safe future in this tropical wilderness.

Villas: Only 150 villas will be available in the project. These will be a combination of 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units. The villas will range from 650 square feet to 1500 square feet, respectively. All will have bamboo or granite countertops, tile floors, eco-friendly construction and the customary Costa Rican hammock on the patio. Fractional units will come fully furnished with everything needed to start renting or enjoying immediately.

Osa Mountain Village

Osa Mountain Village

Food Production: The goal is to produce 80% of the food on-site, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, chicken and tilapia-an excellent fresh water fish. This food will be included for guests and residents, with limited restrictions. Partnerships are being created with locals for beef, pork and seafood.
Planned Amenities: Restaurant and Bar, Beauty Salon, Pharmacy, Convenience Store, Spa, Grass Park with game areas and barbeques, Community Center, Internet Cafe, Book Store and Gardens.

Activities: A Zip Line Canopy Tour, Tarzan Swing and Waterfall Rappelling Tour are already up and running. Visit www.OsaCanopyTour.com to see the thrills. Special rates will be available for guests and residents. Miles of hiking trails of varying difficulty levels are being constructed. A single-track mountain biking course is in the planning phase. Daytime and nighttime jungle tours with overnight camping in the jungle optional. Gardening and farming participation and instruction. Yoga, Tai-Chi and/or other mind/body activities. Sea kayaking in the Pacific and tours of the river and mangroves, shuttles to the beaches, white-water rafting, ATV tours, bird watching tours, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling and many other activities can be arranged through the full time Concierge.

Ownership: Costa Rica allows foreign ownership of property. A Costa Rican corporation, Sociedad Anonime or S.A., is the most practical way to hold property as it can then be transferred simply by selling the corporation. Set up costs for the corporation are about $350 and take a few weeks. This is a very simple process and English names can be used for the corporation.

The Science Of Viral Retweets

By admin On December 2, 2009 No Comments

Viral ReTweets

If you are not using twitter to expand your business or bring more people to visit your blog, gain more subscribers or to make money online you are certainly missing out big chunk of the pie!

Twitter has grown enormously in last two years and many new features have been added to it since then. One of them is Retweets. Retweet is a feature where with just a click of a button your message can be sent to your follower’s follower time line, but why would your followers like to retweet your message? Well if you manage to make them do that it can go viral and bring thousands of visitors to your link in the original tweet. It is just like asking your friend to send your email out to his subscriber list, the best part is it does not end there. What if there followers decide to retweet it?? Now that’s what we call viral Retweets!

So what factors do govern or what kind of tweets have more chances to go viral?

1- Who was the original Twetter: Well, it is very simple, if you have more followers there are more chances of getting retweets . Say for example you have 20,000 followers then you have a better chance than a guy who has just 1000 followers! But, guess what it has less impact than what you think.

2-The Content Of The Tweet: This is by far the most important factor in getting your tweets to go viral!

Words like “You” (makes a connection), “twitter”(twittering about twitter), “Please”( yeah please), “retweet”(tell them to retweet), “blog”, “post” (twittering about social media and blogs) are few words that have much better chances of being retweeted.

A research conducted by Dan Zarella shows following word with there occurence rates depending upon the number of retweets they got.

viralretweets

3-Timing of The Tweet: Well, you just cannot underrate this factor. Study shows that a tweet that starts at EST business timing has a marked increase in number of retweets and grows during day and night time. My personal experience is also the same, a tweet made in the morning has more chances of getting retweeted and becoming viral.

4- The Retweet Cascade : Similar to information cascade where people observe that other people  are retweeting a particular tweet they are more like to retweet it by themselves! They relate it to some kind of compulsion, doing the same thing what others are doing . Reason is inherent human behaviour to go with the masses.

So the next time you tweet something and want it to go viral, keep these suggestions in mind!!

How To Make Your Blog “DoFollow” & Attract More Comments

By admin On December 1, 2009 1 Comment

Here are the steps on how to make your blog do follow for blogger blog & Wordpress

How To Make Blogger Blog “DoFollow”

Before you make any changes I would recommend you to make a backup for your template. You can find step by step instructions on How To Backup Your Blogger blog on blooger.com help pages.

Also you would want to write down which tags require the rel=’nofollow’ attribute so that whenever you decide to revert is back to “nofollow” you know where to insert the tags.

Here are step by step instructions:

1. Log into your Blogger account.

2. Click on the Layout tab from the Blogger.com Dashboard.

3. Click the Edit HTML link.

4. Check Expand Widget Templates.

Make sure you expand the widgets/gadgets box as nofollow attributes are inside them

5. Search for nofollow.

To search you can press CTRL + F on your keyboard at the same time and the Search box will appear or click on the Edit menu and then click Find.

You will see 2 places where the nofollow attributes are used

nofollow1

6- Remove the nofollow attribute, remove rel=’nofollow’ from the tag that starts with

7- Click on the save template button on the bottom right and you are done!

NOTE: You can also remove the 2 instance of the no follow by searching again and repeating the steps 6 & 7

This is for back links. You can choose to delete the nofollow attribute or leave it.

If you delete this nofollow attribute you do it at your own risk. Backlinks are outside of your control and cannot be moderated because they come from other blogs. If someone links to a post of yours through a backlink, that backlink is on their blog and no yours.

How To Make Wordpress Blog “DoFollow”

The best way to make your wordpress blog dofollow is by instalingl a DoFollow Plugin. Out of all the pligins I have used I find the Semiologic DoFollow Plugin to be the best and I say that because the plugin is frequently updated.

1- Login to your Backoffice

2- Click on the plugins section and then on Install New

3- In the search box type DoFollow and the first result will be the Semilogic dofollow plugin.

4-Click on the install button and go through the process, Its simple.

Tip: Make Sure You Add A Picture Or A Graphic Showing That Your Blog Is A DoFollow Blog , so that people do comment on your posts!

Last Post : Trifilliate Payday


Trifilliate PayDay By Jani Ghaffor

By admin On November 26, 2009 1 Comment

Trifilliate Payday By Jani Ghaffor is scheduled to be launched on 10th of December 2009. Detailed review will be available soon! but make sure you mark this day in your calender as it will be live only for a weeks time before Jani Ghaffor closes the system for new members!

So , at this point of time I can certainly tell you who is Jani Ghaffor and what his new product is all about.

I know Jani Ghaffor from the time he promoted Abunza ( if you guys remember it), it was network marketing sensation! Although he wanted me to join the network marketing program but I could not do so because of some financial constraints. Even though I did not join the company he was promoting he made it a point that we always remain in touch (now that virtue is pretty hard to find in today’s network or affiliate marketers). So this was my first impression of Jani Ghaffor, a guy who truly values relationship and gives it a priority above making money and business.

So any product coming out from that corner…I am sure i am gonna grab it :) . Well, even at that time I was amazed with his amazing Video marketing skills, the way he used to simplify complex things and was able to narrate and explain in the simplest way. His Video marketing skills were amazing.

Ok, Enough said about Jani Ghaffor now what is Trifilliate Payday. I’ll reveal here what I know at this point of time.

Trifilliate payday is a Video training course which is divided into following categories:

Trifilliate Payday

Trifilliate Payday

1- Over 11 Hours of Step by step Video Training

2- 4 Pdf guides

3-4 weeks of live personal webinar training.

Jani Ghaffor himself used this Trifilliate Payday System during the beta testing for the promotion of  Google       Sniper and was able to make money $10,000 in first 24 hours and the $15,000 in next 7 days. He told that Trifilliate Payday has nothing to do with google traffic and he did not use his existing list to promote Google Sniper.

Jani goes on to clain that he use the Trifilliate System method out again 4 more times, and made m0ney each time doing it. He also showed this method to 2 of his subscribers who were total newbies, and they made m0ney with it as well.

The proof will be shown during pre-launch :)  (cant wait to see that)

So he claims that TriFilliate PayDay course is going to show people exactly how Jani ghaffor  did this, and more importantly, how they can do the same by following his simple ‘Trifilliate System’.

To be honest, I am curious to know what method Jani exactly used to promote Google Sniper esp after knowing that he did not use google traffic or existing list

As soon as I get to know more about the product I’ll write down the detailed Trifilliate Payday Review , so make sure you subscribe to my blog so that you receive an update as soon as I post it here..cheers

3 Ways To Make Your Blog Addictive

By admin On November 22, 2009 No Comments

This is the biggest challenge I am facing since I have started this blog. Its been a tough task and I am still working on getting an audience and new readers for my blog.

The biggest challenge in Make money online niche or make money blogging niche is how to make yourself stand apart from millions of other bloggers and heavyweights. The truth is I have no clue :) What I have learned over a period of time is that, a blog Is all about “You”, “Your Point of View”, “Your Opinion” and “Your Perspective”

I have outlined few methods on how to make your blog interesting and addictive:

1-Take a Fact and write how do you feel about it. You do not have to be a scientist for that. Lets say the word is out Windows 7 is a good OS. No one is interested in that. Tell your readers how windows 7 has made your life easier and why do you like it.

2- Collect some data, analyze it and present it to your readers. A well interpreted data can be of great value to your readers.

3-Case Studies: I find this method to be most addictive. If you are a serious blogger and planning big, this is the best way to hook up your readers. Whatever you do with your blog, document it and post it. People love to know your success and failure story..lol and if you can take them along in real time there is nothing more interesting for them:) . You know how reality TV works.

Rather than telling people how to make money blogging or the best SEO strategy “YOU” are confident about, why not implement them on your blog or website and make it a case study.

You just can’t go wrong with these methods!


Google Chrome OS Launching Soon

By admin On November 15, 2009 No Comments

Hello Guys!!

Google is on a Roll..we have already discussed Google Wave and Google Go now Google is all set to drop its bomb on Microsoft with Google Chrome OS or Google Operating System.

The Project was “Made Public”  in July 2009 at the Official Google Blog and now we are hearing that It will be ready for launch within the few weeks. But before you get too excited you should know what its all about and what we can expect from Google Chrome Operating System.

Google has taken a different approach while developing Google Chrome OS, with the passage of time and revolution in the application industry why do you need an Operating System in the first place. Imagine when all the functions of operating system will be handled by web applications. For example The desktop mail client could be replaced by Gmail, the calendaring application could be replaced by Google Calendar, the office suite has lightweight alternatives: Google Docs and Zoho, it makes more sense to use an online feed reader like Google Reader, your scientific calculator is less powerful than Wolfram Alpha.

The Only hurdle that Google has to overcome is the drivers for the hard wares. Google is mostly relying on the manufacturers for supplying the drivers for the Google Operating System. Lets see how that works out. Also the Google Chrome OS will target mainly the Netbooks during its initial phase before rolling out Chrome OS . That makes sense..since most of the netbook users are mostly web bugs :) no offense there.

A Netbook Running On Google Chrome OS

A Netbook Running On Google Chrome OS

But the message I want to spread out is  Google is Moving Fast way too fast to keep up the pace and we need a company like Google to break the unethical and monopolistic approach of Microsoft. Lets say  5-6 years from now and we will have much better options rather than  seeing Operating System and Internet the way MICROSOFT wants us to see & believe. Google Rocks :)


On Page Search Engine Optimization

By admin On November 11, 2009 1 Comment

On Page Search Engine Optimization

Hello Readers,

This post will let you know how to do apply basic search engine optimization to get your website rank better on Google and other search engine.

Search Engine Optimization has two parts:

1- On page SEO

2- Off page SEO

In this post we will talk about On Page Search engine optimization. Make sure you subscribe to this blog so that you get notified when I write about Off Page SEO

On Page SEO

This refers to the changes you do on your website itself to get it ranked better. Basically it refers to the editing of your webpage in such a way that Google finds it easier to locate it and then rank it when a surfer is searching for a particular topic.

On page SEO elements: These are the most important things to keep in mind while to do on page search engine optimization:

a-The Title Tag

<title>Your title here</title>

Make sure that the webpages search term “keyword” is included in the title tag. Write the search term upfront and then if you want you can use  characters and colons to separate it let’s say you are targeting keyword “Dog Training”. You can write it as “Dog Training: Get Your Dog Trained At Home”

b-The Description Tag

<meta name=”description” content=”your description”>

Make sure you write a description related to the webpage including the search term at least once or preferably twice in it. Stuffing keywords won’t do any good rather harm your rankings. Surfer should know what the page is all about.

c- The Keywords Tag

<meta name=”keywords” content=”keyword1, keyword2″>

Here you write down the keywords that you are targeting. Make sure the most important ones are in the beginning and related to the webpage. You can write keywords or key phrases.

d-The H Tag

<Hn>your heading words</Hn>

“n” here refers to the number 1 to 6.The biggest heading size being 1. H tags are given more weight than ordinary text and, the bigger the H size, the more weight it receives. So include the target search term in H tags at least once on the page, and two or three times if possible. Also, place the first H tag as near to the top of the page as possible.

e- Bold Text

The bold texts in your webpage are given more preference than the ordinary text in your webpage but less than the H tags. So it makes sense to enclose the search term in bold when it is used in the text

f- Ordinary Text

You should the search term in your webpage as often as you can without distracting its readability. It is important you write for Google and as well as your readers. Make sure to include the search term at the start of the text.

g-Alt Text

<img src=”url” alt=”some alt text which is displayed on mouse over”>

Include search term or the keyword in all the alt text of the image. Make sure its related to the image and makes sense.

Negative On Page SEO:

These are the techniques that people generally in an effort to fool Google, I recommend never ever do it. It results in rank drop and can even be banned by the Google search engines for life

a-Avoid using hidden and invisible text. People tend to write the search terms many time in white with a white webpage background making it hidden from the surfer and not from the Google crawler. This is frowned upon by the people and leads to penalization from search engines.

b-Avoid Cloaking or Redirects. Cloaking refers to serving two types of web pages depending upon who is visiting it. If it is a regular surfer one page shows up and if it is a search engine crawler it shows up another page. Another page being stuffed with search terms making no sense to humans. Again it is not at all recommended in any circumstances.

c-Avoid duplicate content. Duplicate content means you create one web site, with content on topic a, and then repeat the content over and over again on multiple websites. In theory you could create one website, achieve high ranking on it, and then clog up the search engines with the same content duplicated on multiple domains. Again this is not recommended and should be avoided.

The negative On Page SEO techniques may work for a short while that too if you are extremely lucky but eventually you will end up being penalized or banned by the search engines.

Make sure to follow all the elements strictly and i am sure you will benefit from it.

I guess you got a general idea how the On Page SEO works. The next Post will include the Off Page SEO make sure to subscribe to the blog to get notified as soon as I post it.
