Great Tips For Choosing a Laser Brush


I don't know what else to say except that when I wake up tomorrow morning, I'll grab a cup of coffee, then my laser brush. Beautiful, thicker, shinier hair and a more confident ME will be the end result of using this new technology. The new hand held low light laser therapy (LLLT) brushes offer the same technology in a portable device as was previously available only in a salon or hair therapy clinic. It is not only affordable, but can be used in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The laser brush works for both men and women, and with many user testimonials, the results seen with this product are too impressive to ignore.

The Principle Behind Laser Brush Therapy

The results seen with the laser used in the laser brush are both encouraging and impressive. The brush uses low level laser light or cold lasers. There are no chemicals involved, just the power of low level laser light. The FDA has deemed LLLT devices as being non-threatening to health and having no known side affects. A laser brush or comb sends light waves to the skin on the scalp, increasing the blood flow and circulation in this area. Low level laser light is different from natural light in that it is one precise color (the red or cold portion of the visible color spectrum), it is coherent (it travels in a straight line), monochromatic (a single compressed wavelength), and polarized (it concentrates it's beam in a defined location or spot). These properties allow laser light to penetrate the surface of the skin with no heating effect, no damage to the skin and no known side effects. Rather, laser light directs bio stimulating light energy to the body's cells, which the cells then convert into chemical energy to promote healthy rejuvenation of hair. The new laser technology has been designed to promote hair growth and improve hair structure. Laser therapy is the only FDA approved therapy for hair restoration that is not a drug or medication. Its use reactivates hair growth by stimulating live, but weakened, follicles at the cellular level, and is best suited for somebody who's just started to experience hair thinning and hair loss. However, cases have been found where hair can be rejuvenated even in those of us experiencing hair loss for some period of time. Laser therapy works equally well for both men and women.

Using the Laser Brush

The laser brush's unique design enables it to channel light is energy in such a way that will nourish and revitalize your hair on the surface and at the follicle. You can use the hair laser brush any time any place. It is specifically designed to be used in your home, in a safe and private environment. The availability of laser hair therapy used to be limited to visits to advanced hair clinics, but now the latest battery operated, light weight hand held devices can now also be used on vacations or any time away from home as well. Use the brush slowly and evenly from the front to the back down to the neck covering all areas of the scalp for the time instructed by the manufacturer. Direct contact of the brush and the scalp is best. Simply brush your hair with the laser brush for a period of 15 minutes three times per week for great results. The directions that are included for using your brush are very straightforward and can be followed easily. The laser and light technology in this lightweight hand held device is the same technology used in hair salons worldwide to revitalize thicker, richer looking hair.

Associated Products for Use with the Laser Brush

Men and women who decide to invest in a laser brush should know how to get the most for their money. Dermatologists have now begun using a laser brush to restore hair growth to their clients losing their hair, and suggest a healthy lifestyle, nutritional supplements and proper scalp care to aid the process. They maintain that laser therapy can be effective, but the best strategy is to use a multi-therapy approach. There is now a variety of products to aid the laser brush that are available from a few reputable manufacturers of a complete hair care and re-growth system. Most products that are available today even come with some type of guarantee. By ordering online, you can save on many health and hair care products that come as a complete package along with the laser to help you stop your hair loss. These innovative health and hair loss products should be used in concert with the laser hair loss brush for maximum results. Many people see decreased hair growth because various products, such as hair gels and hair sprays, affect the hair root, causing the root to become clogged over time. The correct vitamins and scalp care products combine to give the best results.

Feel Great about Your Hair Again

The end result of using the laser brush is that the appearance of your hair will flourish and you will feel good about your hair again. The region of the scalp treated with this laser therapy system slowly produces shinier, healthier and more manageable hair as the laser brush harnesses the energizing and nourishing effects of laser phototherapy to make hair look healthy and vibrant. Of course, the changes encouraged by the laser therapy do not take place overnight, but with decades of clinical experience internationally, the results seen with the laser used in the laser brush are both encouraging and impressive.

Six Great Ways to Pick an SEO Company that Will Get You a Great Listing on Google


It has been said that desperate times call for desperate measures, and that is the feeling that most website owners have after they've been experiencing the huge frustrations of trying to get their online businesses to be displayed in the top ranking pages of Yahoo! or Google. Your only option as a website owner who must have a good ranking or else go bankrupt, would be to hire a really great SEO company that specializes in getting a small business like yours a really great ranking at all costs. Here are six ways to make sure you are picking the right company to put you in the league with the big boys of the internet world:

1. IMPLEMENT A GOOD BACKGROUND CHECK ON YOUR POTENTIAL SEO COMPANY This step includes typing the company name in Yahoo! or Google and seeing what kind of negative feedback comes back on the SEO business that you are interested in. I would say that if there are more than six credible instances of irate customers who used this SEO company and were not at all satisfied with the service they provided, definitely start looking elsewhere.

Just make sure you are looking in the right places to get this credible info, because it could be misinformation put out there by the SEO company's main competitors. If you can make a contact with a previous customer, by all means do this first. A first hand testimonial from someone with a similar online business like yours who had a good experience with the SEO company is the best research tool of all.

2. MAKE SURE THEIR OWN SITE IS VERY HIGH IN GOOGLE'S RANKING PAGE If an SEO company cannot get their own business ranked at least in the top ten on Yahoo! or Google, they won't have a shot at helping you get even a decent rating in one of the biggest search engines. Any really competent SEO company will be listed in the top five rankings under "SEO businesses", so start with those five and work your way down your list and find a really good SEO company that fits your budget.

3. ASK FOR A LIST OF CREDIBLE REFERRALS Again, this is a great research tool you must use to figure out the respectability of any decent SEO company. If they refuse to give you at least three website addresses of businesses they have optimized web pages for, then you must cross them off your list. Even if the SEO company says that they cannot give you any names because of confidentiality agreements, do not take "no" for an answer. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever why former customers should be kept a secret from future clients.

4. NEVER USE AN SEO COMPANY THAT USES AUTOMATED SUBMISSIONS No credible SEO company would ever submit your web pages using an automated software. To get a great ranking at Google, for example, there are strict submission guidelines that Google insists on for every page submission. If you use any one of these automated submissions software, you could get a permanent ban from Google, something no business can recover from.

5. IF THEY SAY THEY CAN GET YOU A #1 RANKING AT GOOGLE, STAY AWAY FROM THEM You might think that this claim from an SEO company would be a good thing. Unfortunately, there is not one SEO company around today that would be able to make that claim with even the smallest amount of validity. Even when the keywords that the SEO company is optimizing falls into the category of "rarely used", there is no way that any company can guarantee you a #1 rank. So when you hear that claim coming out of a customer service rep's mouth, immediately back away from doing business with that SEO company.

6. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR If an SEO company you are looking into does not charge very much at all for search engine optimization, there must be a good reason for the low cost. Incompetence on the part of the low cost SEO business is generally the reason that a company cannot charge the same rates that a more professional SEO organization can for its superior service. You must be aware that paying a lower fee for search engine optimization will usually mean that you will get a far lower ranking than you would if you went to a far more expensive one.

So before you take out that business checkbook, make sure that you have followed these rules for deciding exactly who should run the very important search engine optimization techniques for your precious web business.

SEO Copywriters - Five Steps to Your Great Web Writing Partner


Google and the other search engines have never been more sophisticated. Even for SEO specialists, trying to understand the engines' changing algorithms is often like trying to lasso rain. While SEO copywriters undoubtedly require specialised knowledge and the ability to generate clear, well-written, relevant content on diverse subjects, be alert to those who try to baffle you with false science. Google itself recognises that the key to effective SEO writing is well-written, relevant content.

When you are shortlisting SEO copywriters, here are five important things to consider.

(1) Has the SEO copywriter written SEO copy before?

Just as designing a Formula One car is different to designing a 4x4, so SEO copy writing is very different from writing newsletters or brochures. A good SEO copywriter will be eager to tell you about work they've done. Visit some sites to see for yourself; see if their clients include SEO, website or online marketing specialists.

(2) Do they have a website themselves?

How did you find the SEO copywriter's own site? If you found it through a search engine, that's a good sign. But anyone can cram keywords or key phrases into a website. Does the site read well to a human reader? Copy that looks stilted or overly repetitive should ring alarm bells: do you really want your site to read like that? It's something to think about when considering SEO copywriters...

(3) Is your SEO copywriter based locally?

With modern technology it's not essential for you to be in the same town, county or even country as your SEO copywriter. But in practice, as with so many aspects of business, it's often advantageous to work with a local SEO copywriter. It's all about building and maintaining relationships: sometimes there's nothing better than sitting down face-to-face.

(4) What are their fees?

Like any product or service, you get what you pay for with SEO copywriters so beware of some of the 'cheap and cheerful' SEO copy out there. Ideally, (provided you've provided a clear brief) your SEO copywriter should give you a fixed price quotation (not just an estimate). This will usually cover a first draft of SEO copywriting and at least two rounds of revisions. Provided that you don't change the brief mid-project, your copywriter shouldn't change their fee either. And of course, you will provide the required keywords or key-phrases before they start work for you...

(5) Have they got experience in your sector?

It doesn't necessarily matter if an SEO copywriter hasn't worked in your sector before. In fact, a web writer who comes to your field afresh may bring a new perspective and a refreshing approach to your work. Most important of all is that they can get excited about what you do, interested in the features and BENEFITS of your product/service, and that they are used to writing solid SEO copy. (A solid background in marketing and conventional copywriting is a great bonus.)

Follow these guidelines and you'll be off to a great start with your new SEO copywriter. Wherever possible, try to meet (or at least speak with) them before you start work. People, as we know, buy people: a capable SEO copywriter with a friendly, client-focused approach is a powerful ally as you promote your business online. Pick him or her carefully. Then start enjoying the benefit.

His background is in technical sales, marketing management, technical writing, copywriting and PR.

How To Gain Great Insights With Google Analytics Dashboards

Google recently released its new Analytics interface to all of their users. Personally, I think that one of the biggest improvements is the ability to create multiple dashboards as well as the flexibility of widgets to customize your dashboard with essential metrics. This post will elaborate further on:

how to create (multiple) dashboardsthe possibilities of the new dashboardsa few examples for your own dashboardssuggestions for new features

Google Analytics Dashboard OverviewThe new Google Analytics gives you the power to create up to 20 custom dashboards for each profile. This makes it perfect to create a separate dashboard for each department in your organization or for each traffic source.

The figure at the right shows an example of one of my own accounts with seven different custom dashboards; one for the total overview and six dedicated to a specific traffic source.

This gives the user the possibility to get a rapid and good overview of what each traffic source is doing in terms of the selected metrics like visits, bounce rate, goals, revenue, etc.

For a deeper analysis of a specific traffic source, the user can dive deeper into the different Google Analytics reports or create custom reports.

The four different widgets gives the user  a lot of flexibility in creating your own personal dashboards:

Metric. Shows the value for a single metric, a spark line and what the percentage of the selected metric is compared to the total over a selected period of time.Pie chart. Shows a breakdown for a single metric grouped by a dimension with a max of six slices.Timeline. Shows a graph for one or two metrics over the selected time period.Table. Shows a table with one dimension and up to two metrics over the selected time period with a max of 10 rows.

Google Analytics Widgets

If you combine these different widgets with the filter options available for each widget, the options are great in creating your own customized dashboard.

Before creating your own dashboard, it is important to clearly define your KPI’s and metrics for each dashboard you are going to create. If KPI’s aren’t clearly defined, you will end up with the wrong metrics or with too many metrics.

The figures below show the different metrics for one of the SEA (Search Engine Advertising) dashboards I created. It shows the overall CPC visits and revenue, transactions divided by a custom variable, most successful campaigns based on visits, visitors, transactions, revenue, as well as the keyword performance (branded vs non-branded) based on visits and bounce rate.

This dashboard gives you a complete overview of the best campaigns/keywords for the selected time period. If you mark the option “compare to”, you will also see the results for the same period before, which allows you to analyze which campaigns / keywords are doing better or worse.

Google Analytics SEA Dashboard 2

Google Analytics SEA Dashboard

As I mentioned before, the filter options are great, specifically the regular expressions give you a lot of power. They make it possible to make a specific widget for almost any piece of data you want.

The widget below shows a report with the transactions and revenue for non-branded CPC keywords. I did the same for branded CPC keywords and also with other metrics, such as visits and bounce rate. The last option, “Link to Report or URL” gives you the possibility to link directly to a standard Google Analytics report or a URL within the widget.

Google Analytics Table

Here are a couple of  suggestions to create a customized dashboard for SEO:

Visits, revenue, transactions for organic keywords (branded & non-branded)Relevant metrics for top landing pagesTotal for organic visits, revenue and transactions for the selected time period compared to the previous time period

A clear and correct tagging policy is necessary to get the most out of e-mail, affiliate and social dashboards.

Once this is done and you have created all the dashboards, it is really easy to do a quick analysis on every traffic source. For even further analysis, just dive deeper into the data by clicking the linked report / URL or another report within Google Analytics.

Due to the beta release, some options from the old interface are not yet available. At this stage, it isn’t possible to export or share your dashboard, which is really annoying if you want to create the same dashboard for multiple logins. You have to do every widget again and again.

Quickly adding a report to your dashboard is also not (yet) possible, everything is now done by widgets. These widgets are currently limited in regards to mobile options. At this point, it is only possible to see statistics for all of your mobile traffic, while for deeper analysis, it could be interesting to see your revenue or conversion rate for specific mobile devices or carriers.

I think this post should give you same basic insights of the possibilities with the new Google Analytics dashboards. Please let me know in the comments below how you’ve been using Google Analytics dashboards, what features you feel are missing and what you’d like to know more about.
