Read this, “She sells sea shells on the Sea Shore”, how does it feel to speak all this words at one go in a sentence, some might have tumbled upon or some might have even read it half way and then repeated the sentence. It’s a common phenomena where we often come across such words which are mind confusing, although the sounds might be the same, the words mean different, spellings are different, grammatically they are used in different contexts and so on. The language English have many such words in its dictionary, even if you are a highly English literate person, you are sure to make the mistakes in selecting the perfect use of such words. These words actually change the whole meaning to what the author is trying to say in his/her writings.

As per the research, it’s a human nature that while reading a word in a sentence a person browses through the whole sentence so as to mentally prepare the mind of spelling out the next few words, it often happens while someone is writing, there is often misuse of similar types of words like then-than, this-these, she-sea, to-too, sells-shells, etc. even if the reader might come across such mistakes, in 99% of cases, he wouldn’t be able to make out the mistake the reason being it sounds so similar with actual meanings of the sentences. Today, we are going to discuss few of these misspelt words in English dictionary and try to find out how to make our English better.

Then-Than – these are the most misused words I have come across, the word “then” is used for reference to time or to portray something that results in some action. Most of the time you might have noticed the word “then” is used after “and”,

the example of such sequence is, “he robbed the bag and then he entered the departmental store”. The word “than” is used to replace instead of or meaning a preference, the example is, “I had rather party with my friends than my enemies”. The correct proofreading in your document will help you make use of the correct “then” or “than”, you have to think wisely.

This-These – the word “this” is mostly used to state a particular object or a thing, mostly used for singular objects and “these” are used to state a group of, or the herd, or more than few things together.

For example: 1) this bag belongs to me, 2) are these books yours? The words this and these are quite confusing to spell, when it comes to spoken words but that largely depends on the writer how he wants to say something, the correct usage will never lead to any confusion.

She-Sea – there are very confused names in English language, to study English grammatically is not an easy job, especially when it gets difficult to pronounce the words sounding so similar having different meanings. The above words, she and sea might not be difficult for a person who speaks English but for non English speakers, it might coz a serious sleep of tongue, do you agree with me?

The examples are: 1) she is my best friend; 2) I could see the vast treasure below inside the sea.

To-Too – it is simple the word “too” refers to the number 2, this word is used to imply as something similar or same types. It also means something which is in excess. The word “to” is used normally as to speak of some action, of giving, taking, bringing, going, etc. it is the most often used word, the examples are: 1) you gave me too much of drinks yesterday night, 2) I am going to market.

Sells-Shells – just one glance and you would understand the difference between the two words but they are often misused in the type of example I stated at the starting of my blog. Both of these words are simple to understand although meanings takes you to another world of English diction,

the examples are: 1) he sells cookies by the roadside, 2) the hard core shells are being sold at the outlet.

Affect-Effect – these are the most difficult for people to interpret and use them in sentences, each of these words are used differently as noun and a verb. When the word “effect” is used as a noun, it means result and when used as a verb means bring about. The word “Affect” means to influence,

the examples are: 1) your suggestion was very effective as it affected many lives, 2) the challenge might effect or serve a good reason for working of the whole company.

Farther-further – the word “farther” means a distance and the word “further” refers to quantity or time, for example: 1) how much farther do we walk? 2) You can do your further studies abroad, 3) try to get further knowledge on your degree.

Cents-Since-Sense – cents are the coins, since is used for saying the time reference and sense means intelligence or feelings,

the examples are: 1) how many cents you want? 2) I can do anything, since you are here 3) do you have any common sense?

The above mentioned are just few of the words which are often misused and as a result there is a huge communication gap between people and often there are mistakes and misunderstandings happening. But with perfect knowledge and use of words as required, you can make your sentences perfect.

I propose to my readers, to send in more such words which might be helpful to other people online.

In taking advantage of using various networks for profitable Internet marketing such as StumbleUpon, Digg, and Facebook, you may begin to wonder where effective SEO enters into these areas of strategy. In doing so, you are not only able to benefit from a positive impact on these networks, but the areas of social media can also be very beneficial in giving the effort you have put into SEO a solid ground to build upon. How can the specific areas you target for SEO exposure and social media be brought to their fullest potential?

Are Title Tags Really That Important?

As the title tags and the header tags are the first impression that many users read about your site, you will want to provide optimized tags that are compelling and interesting so they are effective for reeling the reader in. As you use numbers, specifics, and names make sure you use powerful words that are descriptive. After all, grabbing a reader’s undivided attention is what you are aiming for with strategic social media titles.

Titles tags that are effective in gaining SEO exposure among search engines should include keywords that are popular and relevant to your specific site. It is also important to carefully consider the strategies you use in seeing that the keywords appear in the beginning of title tags.

Some individuals are faced with a dilemma of not knowing how to use tags that will achieve both of these tasks successfully – effective exposure in both the SEO and social media arena at the same time.

The Answer…

However impossible it may seem to some individuals, it is very possible to successfully achieve both and it is simply by performing two simple steps.

When you are writing content that you plan to place on networks such as Reddit, Twitter, Digg, or StumbleUpon, create a title that reaches out and grabs the attention of readers, even if it means a title that may be controversial or shocking. After you have accomplished a snazzy title you can then use the social media sites to promote your articles. Generally this results in a large amount of traffic, but almost always the popularity will begin to lessen over time.

This is your opportunity to change the article’s title tag into one that focuses on SEO using relevant and popular keywords. You will however want to leave the social media directed header tag alone so it can continue to snag search visitors who will want to read the content you have provided.

What Does This Tactic Achieve?

Once you have obtained traffic by creating enticing titles that are shared on the social media platform that do not always offer the most detailed and search friendly, you are able to maximize your efforts by performing the next step. Title tags that are changed can benefit in even more search traffic by making the addition of popular and descriptive keywords, which will also increase your rank with search engines. Do not make the mistake of shorting yourself on visitors you could benefit from in using this effective technique.

Let’s make no mistake, there is a tremendous amount of time and effort that is involved when you decide that you would like to try making a comfortable amount of money that is earned on your own websites over the Internet. There are numerous individuals that have tried and failed before you, and there will be numerous individuals who will try an d fail after you. One of the biggest similarities among the individuals who have failed along their journey of making money on the World Wide Web is simply in the specific type of mindset that they each shared. What type of mindset was it that they shared? Pure and simple – negativity! If you find yourself spending a majority of your time thinking that task before you is impossible and that there are too many scammers online to even think of being able to wade through all of them, then of course you will more than likely end up being another number added to the failure rate.

Being Positive Has Power!

Many of us have been told since we were wee tykes running around with scabs on our knees from rid ing our bicycles that we always needed to hold our head up and stay positive. This one tiny statement is probably one of the most valuable tools of life that I have received. It is something that can affect every single thing that you do in life. Of course it is not something that will make you rich overnight all by itself. You have to put your positive attitude into action and stop being just a sponge that is soaking up valuable information without applying it. Before any type of grand scheme can be successful, there are various steps that have to be performed to make it happen.

Make Goals For Yourself and STICK TO THEM!

There are many times that individuals will get a taste of what all is involved in earning money online and they head for the hills before they have even attempted writing down their goals, much less following them through. In any new adventure there will generally be various clouds hiding around the corner that can quickly make you feel overwhelmed. The key to this is to ignore the clouds and keep your eyes focused on the sunshine that sits beyond the clouds.

The first thing that you need to do is focus. Do not let a million different ideas creep into your mind and end up distracting you from your original goals. Make sure that you have set time limits on the goals you have set for yourself. This can be very helpful in making sure that you maintain constant effort into reaching further and further for the success you are after. Another very important factor that can often get in the way when an individual faces a specific project, is the fact that it can very easily and very quickly feel as impossible to climb as Mount Everest. Remember however, that Mount Everest was successfully climbed and it was done a step at a time. If the one page website you had planned mysteriously turned into one that is going to consist of several different pages, do not look at the entire project all at once. Take the first page, break it down into sections and then get busy trying to complete one section at a time. Before you even realize it, you will have successfully finished your first page and then you can go onto the next. If you need help along the way there are numerous websites that can be found that contain valuable information that can help you to make each of your goals a reality in the making.
