Team Up For More Than $7 Billion in SE Marketing

(PRWEB) August 19, 2005

New Orleans, LA – Approximately $ 7 billion* in annual spending is expected for the search engine (SE) marketing industry by 2007. And members at Content Desk, an Internet content syndication center and a source of high-quality, targeted content for webmasters, are excited to be a team of go-getters and share in the bounty.

“Monetizing our websites doesn’t just mean finding the best paying advertising and affiliate programs to put on our sites,” said Jack Humphrey, managing partner in the exclusive Content Desk Charter Members publishing group. “But making the most of the visitors we get, to keep them coming back and clicking on ads and buying from us again and again.”

And Humphrey does mean a LOT of visitors and clicks. Research shows that marketers will be targeting 15% of their budget to search engine marketing. In fact, marketers anticipate spending $ 3.3 billion on paid search listings and $ 238.5 million on site optimization services, according to MarketingSherpa’s Marketing Metrics Guide (2004). ** So that’s a lot of bounty to share.

“The only way to do that is to have updated, valuable information that Internet visitors are trying to find,” explained Humphrey. “BE that resource for them and you will reap rewards far beyond what you may have already experienced with plain directory sites.”

Content Desk has a variety of tools to help members create and use all types of content. The exclusive online community focuses on four things; community, learning, technology and profits.

“We cover a slew of tactics we are using for members, including all the successful and not so successful tests we have done to pull in more traffic and more profits for our content publishing networks,” said Humphrey. “We are in the right place at the right time.”

Charter member David Granoff shared his experience with Content

Q: How did you learn about Content Desk & what made you decide to sign up?

I heard about Content Desk through one of my Internet marketing newsletters, and after 2 years of building sites “the hard way” and another 2 years of working with a partner building “resource sites” that I wasn’t particularly proud of; I decided there must be a better way to build high-quality sites. I’ve been very happy with the site building system, the very supportive ContentDest partners, and the great community of like-minded members.

Q: Please share how you’ve successfully used the tools in Content Desk / Content Site Builder so far.

I’ve built a number of sites in the past few months, in various niches, experimenting with various formats – it’s very important to try different things and see what actually works. Sometimes the most “elegant” approach is not the most profitable, and the rules are always changing. Here are a few representative sites, in which I’ve used professionally-developed templates, home-made templates, and blogs like WordPress:

World Population May Hit 15+ Billion by 2100 Says Author, More Than Twice Current Global Population: Disaster Looms

(PRWEB) June 04, 2012

Projections from the United Nations suggest that humans may number 10 billion by 2050 and 15 billion by the year 2100. Both of these statistics spell serious problems for a world having difficulty meeting the food and water needs of its current seven billion inhabitants, according to Canadian academic and author Steve Bareham.

Until recently, said Bareham, an instructor at Selkirk College, Nelson, B.C, the UN cited about nine billion by 2050 (see footnote*), then a levelling off and gradual decline, as global prosperity spread and as developing nations followed the lead of the developed countries toward fewer children per family. Evidence now, however, indicates fertility rates are not declining as expected in the developing countries, so the revision to the higher ranges has a lot more credence. If those come to pass, its difficult to imagine a better world for todays young people by 2050, let alone 2100.

Bareham discovered the little-known UN statistics while researching courses in cross cultural communication and conflict management. The research led to the release of two eBooks that draw attention to an issue that could be absolutely catastrophic within four decades. The books are titled PROGENETER, an acronym for progenetic enhancement & entropy termination. They are published through Summa Publishing.

In addition to food and water disparities, its likely that people will face worsening pollution, more dramatic climate change, socio-economic strife, growing inequities between developed and developing nations, and the extinction of thousands more animal species. While 15 billion is unfathomable, even the 10 billion number by 2050 is the equivalent of another China and another India, he said.

The epicentre of growth will be Africa; its population now stands at about one billion but is projected to reach 3.6 billion by 2100, and that continent already has problems supporting its peoples. Conversely, he notes, the Italians and several other European nationalities, are theoretically on their way to extinction because their birth rates have dropped below the 2.1 replacement ratio.

Many statisticians believe the higher population projections are likely to transpire, given the exponential growth of humans over time. Consider, said Bareham, that it took from the beginning of time until the year 1804 for one billion people to inhabit the earth. Then, human numbers exploded:
