He answers your calls

Its 2 Am but you need to hear his voice. You know it’s wrong to call him at this time. But you cannot help yourself. You can hear your heartbeat when the phone rings. And then you hear his voice.

He sends flowers on your birthday

He remembers your birthday and sends you cards and flowers. He also calls you on the day you met, your first date together, on valentine’s day, the day you broke up just to talk to you.

The nature of the breakup

How bad was your breakup? Did you breakup because you were incompatible and you fought with each other on silly issues. Some relationships are irreparable no matter how much you care about each other. However if you broke up because of external factors such as family, a misunderstanding or a one- off incident then your ex probably still loves you and there are chances of reconciliation.

The age range of 4 to 5 years old is usually the right time to start teaching a child how to read. It’s important to be patient and understanding because your child is at an age where fantasies and imaginations run wild in their head. Furthermore, always remember that your child will take time to learn because reading is a skill that is not a simple task.

Start young and present your child with a variety of picture alphabet books. This is important because visuals will help keep your child interested in what you’re trying to each them. Help your child to learn how to match the sound of a letter with the visual depiction of it.

• Make learning fun by keeping your child engaged. Use examples, toys and visuals to make them learn faster. For instance, point to a ball and keep repeating ‘b-a-l-l’. Then say the complete word. This way, the child will know that the toy they like to play with is called a “ball.

• Learning should always be interactive for young children. For instance, if your goal is to help your child learn how to read, you must keep talking to them and pointing out the objects that match the words they have learned throughout the day. This will ensure that your child understands the basic concept: There is a word for everything. This will teach them to learn how to ask for the names of objects that they don’t already know.

• Gestures and actions go a long way when it comes to teaching children. The first step is to make sure your child is focusing on everything that you’re saying. Try hand movements to hold the attention of a child for longer periods of time. Don’t rely on just using a whiteboard and a marker, instead, act out words and sentences, so the child can match visuals to what you’re saying to them.

• Scribbling tactics: Children love to grab a pen or pencil and scribble their way to glory. Another way to help them learn the alphabet is to encourage them to scribble actual letters while they scribble things. They’ll learn how to write, and they’ll have a lot of fun doing so.

• Don’t focus on grammar when a child is very young. Once a child knows the letters of the alphabet and basic words, they will find it significantly easier in Kindergarten to keep up with their teacher. Let your child master the letters of the alphabet at home, and let the teacher worry about grammar and sentence formation at a later stage in the growing years.

• Encourage family members and relatives to join the learning experience with your child. When they read the morning newspaper, they can involve the child by asking the child to point out smaller words and read it. Family involvement will help the child to embrace learning, because they will feel as though everyone is interested in what they are doing.

• When you read to your child every night, encourage them to try and read the letters or words in the book. This doesn’t have to be done every day, in order to prevent the child from getting bored, but if it’s done on a regular basis, it will help immensely in the learning process.

• Make use of audio tapes and visuals. When you’re busy, you can put an alphabet CD on for your child to listen to. Even if they are busy playing with toys, they will still pick up some of the information.

• Limit the learning process to just a few simple words during the early years. It’s important to avoid causing fear in your child about learning new words. It is important to let them try simple words first and get a good grip on basic language.

Anchor Text:

The text that is used as link to connect with your website is known as anchor text and it is the most influencing factor of backlinks. Google gives anchor text so much value in its algorithm that if you want to get a ranking for a particular keyword, you should consider to get some relevant links from other sites using the keyword as a anchor text to your website.

Relevancy Of Links

The next most influencing factor of backlinks probably is the relevancy of the sites that is linking to your site and the way links is passed on to you( sidebar, footer, contextual link etc). Its always better to get contextual link as they make more sense.

Diversity of Link Sources

The links that comes to your site should not come from a single IP or the sites that are hosted on a same server. You should always focus on to get the links from different number of sites that are hosted on different servers. It is also better if you go and get some links from the sites that does not come under your niche to make the link building process more natural.

Attribute of links

You might have heard about no-follow and do-follow links. Links that have a dofollow attribute will pass a link juice to your site(pass page rank). So it is always better to gather the links from dofollow sites. Dofollow links are hard to get but are important to get the rankings in search engines for a competitive keyword.

I hope next time when you start a new link building campaign you will keep the above factors in mind and  don’t forget to share your opinion about this post.
