Earth Under Fire: How Global Warming is Changing the World is a comprehensive look at the world wide effects of climate change. In dramatic photographs, maps and quotes from world climate science leaders, this one-of-a-kind book shows how the earth is being changed right now.
The book illustrates on-going shifts from weather extremes and melting glaciers to disruptions of animal migration and plant growth — including the strong impact on human life, cities and cultures.

Earth Under Fire ends with a vision of how we can slow global warming and improve the lives of people everywhere.

Arctic sea ice has now surpassed all previous records for the lowest absolute minimum extent. Satellite measurements recorded the previous record, 5.32 million square kilometers (2.05 million square miles), on September 20-21, 2005. As of August 16 this year — more than a month earlier — the extent was 5.26 million square kilometers (2.02 million square miles).

With about a month of further ice melt expected, it is clear that the 2007 annual minimum, expected in late September, will almost certainly be less than the last five years of record and near-record sea ice losses. As of August 16, ice extent in 2007 was 1 million square kilometers (386,000 square miles) less than the same day in 2005.

Now view this movie,

Leonardo DiCaprio’s “The 11th Hour” is a feature length documentary concerning the environmental crises caused by human actions and their impact on the planet. The most powerful element of “The 11th Hour” is not a portrait of a planet in crisis, but its offer of hope and solutions. Scientists and environmental advocates such as Stephen Schneider and Sylvia Earle (who participated in Earth Under Fire) paint a portrait for a radically new and exciting future in which humanity seeks not to dominate the earth’s life systems, but to mimic them and coexist. “The 11th Hour” calls for a future now within our grasp that is both sustainable and healthier.

There can be zillions of reasons why your visitors return to your web site. One might be very interested in seeing your animated photo on your main page, but kidding aside I’ve gathered 12 elements that invites your visitors to repeat their visits.1. High-Quality Content.

We have all read that “Content Is The Thing” according to Michael Dean of Kittyfeet.com. We have not set-up our website to just fill-it with endless links of your favorites but we’re there to discuss what can we contribute to the web. Fill it with regularly-updated quality content and they’ll return asking for more.

2. Ease Of Use.

We have all heard of “user-friendly” computers and softwares. Why not do the same to our web site. Provide a navigation bar that’s easy (and fun) to use forgetting the fancy stuff.

3. Quick To Download.

Assume your web site is going to be viewed by the oldest browser, slowest modem and limited number of palettes.

4. Updated Frequently.

You have prepared high-quality content but the problem is you only update it once a year. Set a realistic goal first that at the least you’ll bring new content to it once a month and then increase the frequency.

5. Rewards, Contest and Incentives.

Make sure your visitors enjoy a very “rewarding” visit to your site and expect him to return or just remind him to get his prize, reward or a mention of his name in your monthly newsletter. He’ll sure return. Contest is one great idea. Email me on this one and I’ll give you the free code.

6. Favorite Brands.

We all know zdnet.com is the site for free downloads, cnn.com for up-to-the-minute customizable news. Why not link to them? Do you know that zdnet.com offers link partnership? (I don’t get money from this one, folks :-)) I know a site that just updates their visitors on what’s happening to over 200 branded ezines and you know what visitors like it and return.

7. Cutting-edge Technology.

We can’t all compete with this category but I’m sure there are lots of software out there to simplify the task. So grab one!

8. Games.

Online game sites are becoming famous nowadays. Visitors too need sometime to play online. Give what they need and they’ll ask you for more.

9. Purchasing Capabilities.

Web surfers also shop around and they’re looking for convenience on how to do it. Be the first one to do it for them. Add a shopping cart of some sort to your web site and it would be better if you can accept credit cards online.

10. Customizable Content.

Try to create a simple database (Excel of MS Access would do) and connect it on your web site. Every visitor will have its own content and experience. An example of this is planetit.com (tell them I referred you, just enough to receive thank you from them, yes, no money involved here either.)

11. Chat and BBS.

Message Board or interactive forums replaces BBS (bulletin board system) nowadays. Even I have one on my web site (just to make sure) and I’m amazed at the number of visitors from around the globe who post on it. Just make sure you get their email addie so you can reply.

12. Freebies, Jokes and Quotes.

I don’t know about this but I’ve received return visits on this one. I even got a search engine for jokes on my site and people return just to read jokes. These same people who spent considerable amount of money reading jokes and quotes will soon ask for a price quote.

You know studies have shown that it takes 4 to 5 visits for a person before he sets his eyes on what you can offer. A simple element (but it’s not included on the 12 elements I’ve mentioned) is just to place a text on your web site (bold letters, not caps) saying “Please bookmark this site” can go a long, long way.

In order to make any money online, you need some form of web presence. Now that doesn’t necessarily mean you need a website, because there are many alternatives to your own website that I discuss in other articles such as blogging, affiliates, etc. But if you want to get serious about making money online, you will eventually have to get yourself sorted out with a website.Some of you might know how to program in HTML or PHP, whereas other will not. Some of you might buy one of the millions of website templates that are widely available online, or even one of the instant templates that you can get these days. Designing a website can take hours and hours of your precious time. In some cases it can take weeks to get the site published, and even then you might only have 5 or 6 pages. If you’re into Adsense, you will want to have as many pages to your website as possible. If you have articles on your site, split them down into 3 or 4 pages so the reader will see more adsense ads.

I have created several websites from scratch with RSS articles as content, sprinkled with adsense and affiliate links. Each one can take a few days to get up and running because it takes time to collect relevant articles. Then one day everything changed for me when I stumbled across a site building program that did all of this for me.

I can now create a 200 page, highly optimized and monetized website, upload and publish it online within a mere 30 minutes. I then have an indexing strategy which helps get these sites indexed very quickly.

There is no doubt in my mind that you should leave the act of building websites to software, whilst you can spend your time looking for profitable niche areas. This is what I do. I look for one new niche every week and collect images and affiliate programs relevant to it. I then set up several niche related sub-domains on one or more of my sites, and create several of these websites all targeting this niche market. Because the adsense and affiliate links are pre-programmed into the website templates, I know that every page in each website could potentially earn me money.

And another question . . . .

Why do marketers love blogs? Numerous reasons.They are simple to create and maintain. They afford the opportunity to publish links to other sites, and to the interior pages of other sites. Their popularity with human visitors makes them natural targets for traffic. Their constantly changing content attracts the search engine spiders, which then follow the links that they find, and index the pages of other websites.

Many savvy internet marketing experts have suggested that the best way to capture an audience of potential customers is to provide them free information, either through a “content site” that does little direct selling, or through publication of an informative email newsletter that gives free information and at most employs a “soft sell” when endorsing products.

A blog is the perfect blend of the two. It has often been suggested that the best way to start an online business is with a free newsletter, which allows you to develop your “list”. While a blog doesn’t develop your “list” in quite the same way, it does afford you the opportunity to develop a loyal following among your readers, which accomplishes much the same purpose as having a “list”.

Whether you announce or endorse a product through an email list or a blog, you are announcing it to people who want to hear what you have to say. Your blog readers are probably more eager, in many cases, than are readers of your mass emails.

I could go on and on about the merits of blogs. If you are promoting any product or service online, you owe it to yourself to check out what can be done with blogs and RSS.

John Barbour, Ph.D. is the author of a new blogging guide which teaches people how to promote any product or service online using blogs and RSS.

John also maintains several internet marketing educational websites, and manages a new directory for blogs related to internet marketing. Visit the emarketing blog directory and find an interesting blog, or submit your own for inclusion.
