The Secret To Choosing Your Best Fit Puppy

There’s a saying that there is an ideal dog for everybody…the trick though is in finding that right dog. Truth be told though you don’t need a magic trick in selecting your ideal dog because there’s actually a tried-and-proven straight forward method to do. And for me that’s the best part about getting a dog because unlike family…you actually get to choose!

So You Want To Get A Puppy

Before I continue I am going to make a number of assumptions here, the main one being that you already know the type of dog breed that you wish to get. This article is about choosing the right puppy so I really won’t delve into depth about the various dog breeds.

However suffice it to say that out of all the hundreds of dog breeds, there most certainly is one that is just right for you. Finding that right puppy though requires an honest assessment and evaluation on your part such as…

…you already have in mind the role your dog will play; a role which will most likely fall under any of the following:

    * Playmate for the kids
    * Companion
    * Protector
    * Show performer
    * Herder
    * Hunter

Furthermore I am going to conclude that since you have already mentally designated a role to your dog then you have already settled on a breed.

This part shouldn’t be hard at all because the various dog breeds were bred and developed to carry out these functions. Some of the dog breeds are more capable than others at performing the various tasks (indeed some dog breeds are able to perform all of them [the so-called muti-taskers of the canine world; e.g., the German Shepherd] ).

Now all you have to do is decide which dog breed covers your needs.

Oh…one other thing, your homework also requires an honest unbiased assessment on how you and your furry friend are going to co-exist. In other words you need to ensure that:

    * Your lifestyle and personality complement your dog’s genetic heritage
    * You can devote enough time to your dog
    * Your living arrangement is suitable for both you and your dog
    * The climatic conditions will not make your dog’s life a misery

Okay now that we have ascertained that you have carefully decided on the type of dog breed you wish to get and also that you have covered other important parameters such as living arrangements, climate etc., let’s tackle the topic at hand.

How To Choose Your Best Fit Puppy

Just like siblings in a given family tend to have widely different characters so do puppies from the same litter.  So in the same litter of puppies it is not uncommon to find a boisterous, rowdy outgoing puppy as well as a timid, shy puppy that is literally scared of its own shadow!

So why is it important to be able to tell which puppy is which? Well consider the following:

    * By 7 weeks of age a puppy has attained its adult dog character!
    * Most abandoned dogs become so because their owners are at their wits end and can’t cope with them any longer; a situation they could have avoided had they chosen the right puppy!
    * Puppies from the same litter have different dispositions; some are sweet and some will become overly dominant menaces!
    * Some puppies are easy to train while others are downright difficult!
    * Some puppies love human companionship while others are outright anti-social!
    * Some puppies will mature into dogs that are way too difficult to handle by the 1st time dog owner!

Those are some very good reasons to be determine the character and nature of your dog while it is still a puppy.

At 7 Weeks Of Age You Can Tell How Your Puppy Will Behave As An Adult Dog!

Did you know that as far as puppies go what you see is what you get by the time the puppy is seven weeks old. In other words if you know what you are doing you can tell precisely how your puppy will behave as a mature dog!

It is important to remember that though your puppy is now an adorable, cute bundle of joy, in the not so distant future he/she will become a lot bigger and a lot less manageable; unless of course he/she is amenable and compliant to your instructions.

Having a great relationship with your dog means having a well trained dog but unfortunately this is not possible with some dogs for the simple fact that they are either too anti-social or are either downright stubborn.

There’s no doubt that the different dog breeds are characterized by specialized behavioral traits, but the truth of the matter is that within each and every litter of puppies from a given dog breed, those puppies are going to exhibit very different personalities.

If You Wish To Have A Great Relationship With Your Dog…

Then you’ll most likely want to choose a puppy that:

    * Matures into a dog that is easily trainable
    * Is sociable and loves being around people
    * Will follow your lead and obey your instructions
    * Won’t become a overly dominant alpha male that is a menace to everybody
    * Becomes a dog with a sweet disposition that is a delight to everyone

Remember earlier on I said that by seven weeks of age your puppy has already developed its adult personality? Well not only has the puppy developed its adult personality by then but it is also exhibiting it!

All you need to be able to do is interpret the signs that puppy is exhibiting at 7 weeks and in effect you can choose the precise dog personality that you desire!

There’s actually a simple and straight-forward procedure to establish the future personality of a dog by testing it when it is a puppy; anybody can perform this simple test.

Yes It Is Possible To Get Web Traffic That Is Free

How You Too Can Get Web Traffic For Free

Let’s kick off by asking the obvious question of why do you need web traffic to run a successful internet business? Well that’s a no-brainer really. You see online traffic amounts to the same thing as people entering your store if it happened to be offline.

This evidently means that if your store is not getting any visitors then there is no way you are going to make money at all! If you think of your web site as an online store and web traffic as people coming to your online store then you know that you really cannot get by without it. That’s why web traffic is described as the lifeblood of any internet business.

Okay let’s look at some of the ways to attract online traffic to your website but before we do that let me talk a little about the kind of web traffic you need to get. Why? Because not all internet traffic is equal and frankly there is really no point in salving away to get web traffic that just exits your website as soon as it gets there.

So the very first step in launching your web traffic campaign is conducting proper keyword research to ensure that you are actually attracting the kind of people to your blog who are willing to spend cold hard cash. To get those kind of people you need to target keywords with high conversion rates. This simply means you need to optimize your website for very specific keywords.

Thus for example let us look at the make money online market. If you do your keyword research properly you will soon realize that the keyword money has several thousand searches a day, however that said this is not the type of keyword you wish to target. Why? Because it is way too ambiguous! When a person types in the keyword money in a search engine they could be looking for anything remotely connected to the term money and not necessarily looking to learn how to make money online.

Besides another drawback to optimizing for a non-specific keyword term like money despite the fact that it gets a ton of daily online searches is that it has an extremely high difficulty level and will literally take forever before you ever even get the first trickle of web traffic from it!

So you need to target a more specific kind of web traffic one that is interested in making money online assuming your online business is all about getting internet money and teaching people how to go about it. With that in mind the kind of keyword you would wish to optimize for to get better conversion rates from your web traffic would be more target-specific keywords like make money or make money online etc. There’s a lot more involved with conducting accurate keyword but this article is not really about keyword research but web traffic so let’s move on.

Ways To Get Web Traffic

Okay as previously mentioned there are multiple ways to get web traffic and here’s a list of some of them:

1. Organic Web Traffic (traffic from the search engines)
2. Internet traffic from article writing
3. Online traffic from social media websites
4. Web traffic from forums
5. Getting web traffic by posting comments on blogs that get a lot of web traffic and allow the inclusion of links
6. Online traffic utilizing video
7. Web traffic through the use of images
8. Paying for internet traffic

These are just a few but probably the most common ways to get web traffic and each type has its own merits. I am not a big fan of getting web traffic though paid advertisements because it can get really expensive really fast with mixed results. But of course if you have the budget for this type of online traffic then go for it because you will attract online traffic to your website almost immediately!

 The Action of Search Is the First Step In the Act of Persuasion

What many people do not realize is that when a person types in a search term online, then assuming that they are looking for a solution to a problem, they have just covered the first parameter in successful persuasion. This is because that persons defenses are somewhat lessened because they are open to suggestion and advise in order to find a quick resolution to their predicament.

Basically what this means to your as an owner of an online business is that this type of web traffic is more likely to accept your advice and thus ultimately are more likely to pay money to get the resolution they so desperately seek.

As I mentioned not all web traffic is equal and in fact the manner in which you attract that online traffic determines the way in which you court it to achieve your ultimate goal. For example if you are getting web traffic through social media websites you are going to have more interaction with your visitors before they pay the scantiest attention to you. This means that you cannot just saunter over to a social media website slap up a few banner ads (or whatever type of ad) and hope that you will be able to siphon some of the immense web traffic to be found on social media websites like FaceBook.

The bottom line is that every method to get web traffic has its challenges and you need to discover which one best suits your purposes. Let’s look at organic web traffic which is nothing more than online traffic that originates from people searching on the search engine indexes. Yes, this kind of traffic is free and another excellent selling point about this kind of web traffic is that once you start getting it then unless you are bounced off the indexes for any reason you will continue reaping its rewards with no further input form you!

The downside of organic web traffic is that it is extremely difficult to get especially if you are a contender in a highly competitive market. That said though you should always strive for this kind of online traffic (that’s the point of SE optimization after all) because as just mentioned it is passive traffic that is not only free it doesn’t require any further input on your part unlike social media web traffic that requires constant interaction with your followers!

There are some topics that lend themselves well to web traffic generated via images and the selling point here is that if you SE optimize your images well they will ascend up the search engine indexes far faster than a webpage listing. Now one thing you need to understand is that there’s an art to getting relevant traffic from images. Don’t expect to get web traffic that converts into cash from an image optimized with a highly searched for keyword (with a low difficulty level) that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject matter of you blog or website.

Yes you will get web traffic from that image but it will bounce off your site just as soon as it gets there. So not only will you get nothing from that source of traffic you will get little if any search engine benefit because the engines will note that such online traffic is exiting your site as soon as it gets there and hence is valueless!

On a final note, if you wish to make money online you need to get web traffic and if you wish to make a lot of money online you need to get a lot of traffic! This is what distinguishes a successful internet business from the many that fail.
