Match Making

In this day and age where technology is widely used and known, the human touch is still needed to provide a successful marriage. One of the ways that a marriage can start is through the assistance of a matchmaker. This individual will use their knowledge and experience to promote a relationship between a man and a woman. Their matchmaking skills will be highly sought after.

There are many cultures that have used matchmakers to help arrange suitable marriages for their children. These individuals had numerous contacts and information of suitable and eligible partners. Parents who desired to arrange a good marriage for their children would pay the matchmaker a small fee to bring suitable proposals for their child. Once a presentable party has been introduced to the would be in-laws, and a marriage has been satisfactorily arranged, for their matchmaking skills the matchmaker would receive a suitable gift and monetary reward.

There is a darker side to this matchmaking. That is where parents would try and arrange marriages that their children objected to because there was something that was desired by the parents. In other cases the young people would have to get married to whoever was chosen by their parents because the matchmaker had stated that the marriage was a suitable and good proposal.

The way that such a marriage was finalized was by saying that the astrological star signs were favorable for that marriage. By arranging the proposal in this manner there was no way that a reluctant child could object to the proposed marriage.

Matchmaking comes in many guises. In North America line dancing, square dancing and social dances all help to promote new relationships and romances. Here too, matchmaking can be found. Both official matchmakers and unofficial matchmakers would try to bring about a good marriage between young men and women. These people would also be on hand to prevent any unsuitable matches from being formed and let the family members know if any romances were starting in their families.

While these are some of the more traditional ways of arranging a marriage there are instances where an individual will seek the aid of a dating service to find their life partner. At these places there will be a selection of videos and photo galleries with some description of eligible candidates to be selected. This is an impersonal type of matchmaking where the individual chooses from the selection at hand someone they might feel comfortable spending their life with.

In our technological world many people would like some help to find their future life partner. Matchmakers who fulfill this role can be people who have chosen this as a way of livingComputer Technology Articles, friends who want to promote a match that will make their friends happy and various relatives of the young men and women. With so many people trying their own brand of matchmaking to find good marriage partners for a person there’s bound to be some sort of success story occurring most of the time.

Website Promotion – Submit Articles, but Spread them Around

Writing articles on topics that are relevant to your Website’s topic and submitting them to free content sites is a great way to effectively promote your Website at little or no cost. There are many Websites that want topical content, and they frequently obtain this content from “free content” publishers. Those sites are always looking for articles and they’ll accept articles from most anyone. They offer no compensation other than a link back to your Website. This, as many writers have discovered, is a powerful incentive. Thousands of people have written and submitted articles to “free content” sites in order to promote their own Website, and it’s probably the most cost-effective tool for Website promotion. But there are hundreds of “free content” sites on the Web. Should you submit your articles to one site only, or should you submit to many different sites? I would appear that submitting articles to as many sites as possible is the best way to promote your site.

In the six or seven weeks that I have been writing articles, I have been submitting them to multiple “free content” sites. I don’t just submit to any site; I have some criteria. The site must have a form that allows me to “fill in the blanks” to submit my article. I’m way too busy to deal with sites that require e-mail submissions or require me to join a Yahoo! Group. I also avoid sites that will not provide a live, clickable link back to my Website or sites that cover only topics that aren’t relevant to the topics of my Websites. Based on those criteria, I have a “core” group of eighteen sites to which I submit my articles. I have an additional group of seventeen sites I use for articles I write that are related to Website promotion, such as this one. Anytime I write an article, it is submitted to up to thirty-five different sites for publication. From there, each article could end up being published on thousands of different sites.

To date, I have written some 60 articles, published to many different sites. In roughly that same time period, another author who regularly submits articles to one of these content sites has written nearly twenty times as many articles. It would appear, however, that this author does not submit to multiple content sites, but instead submits his articles to this one site only. Still, with some 1200 articles written, this author must be reaping much greater rewards from his work than I am, right? That does not appear to be the case. This author’s Website actually has fewer incoming links than a site of mine that I have promoted through articles exclusively. If you do a search on Google for this author’s name and a search for my name, you will find that my name and his yield the same number of search results. Even more interesting is the fact that this author has written all of these articles to promote one Website, and my articles cover six different topics and promote six different sites! By submitting to one article to thirty-five different sites, I am obtaining the same promotion power as if I had written thirty-five different articles!

The statistical evidence would suggest that while it is important to find the best sites for submitting articlesFree Reprint Articles, it is well worth the writer’s while to submit articles to as many sites as possible in order to get the maximum amount of promotion out of each article. Writing the articles is the hard part; submitting the articles takes about one minute per site. That minute is well spent.
