YouShouldOpenYourEyes...
***********
E que a minha loucura seja perdoada, porque metade de mim é amor...
e a outra metade... também!
***********
Bendito seja aquele que deu significado aos nomes!
"Natália: Latim, Natalis, dia natalício. Só consegue amadurecer depois de muito lutar para chegar a um equilíbrio entre a razão e o coração. Por isso muitas vezes é vista como uma pessoa inconstante. É fiel e exige que seja tratada com deferência."

Context Linking
By Vickie J. Scanlon
Contextual linking helps to improve your ranking with the search engines. So what is it, and how do you go about using it.
Contextual Linking- Html
Contextual linking is the use of “html urls” within the body of your copy to direct not only your traffic, but to also entice the search engines to index your pages.
How do you go about doing it? I’ll explain using html, java script, and dynamic links as possible contextual links.
HTML
HTML is easy for the search engines, and they will not blurb or run from html.
Java script will give you no advantage with the search engines-it will not be indexed. It does not mean you cannot use Java Script, it just means to use little or no Java Script around something that you want the search engines to index.
Dynamic links-many search engines have a problem with-and will shy away from if it is to “dynamic for the search engines health”. In other words, if the bot feels that danger is ahead, it will back out of your web page, and, possible not index anything from that point further. Scary cat! But then again, who wants a crashed bot?
Keywords and your Url
Keywords as always is important. And the important keyword(s) should be used within your urls. What constitute an important keyword? It is the keyword that identifies the web page and it’s topic. So always keep it in mind when you are writing. As I always say, write first, and incorporate your important keywords into the copy afterward. Why? Never try to decrease the flow of the words or your thoughts just for keywords.
Your context – mean what you say, and say what you mean.
To conclude, if the search engines cannot figure out what the context of your web page or url means – then that will be abundantly clear when it is indexed.

AdSense Referrals-More Information
Since Google last update on the retiring of Adsense referral ads were a little incomplete-they have followed up with another update to answer the question most important to all-will I get paid.
Some questions were answered regarding the referral programs.
All referrals will be retired. This applies to referrals for Adwords advertisers, as well as, for Google products.
What's the deadline for creating referrals?
If a sale was created with the referral, the action has to have been completed by the end of September. However, your referral units on your site will no longer display after August 2008. (Translated, you will have a 30 day window to receive credit for any referral conversions).
One final note: Adsense content and Adsense research will remain unchanged.

Blueberry season
It's purple tongue time! The Willamette Valley is a great location for growing all kinds of berries and fruit, and there are several farms near Corvallis that grow blueberries. Blueberry Meadows, on Hwy 20 a few miles northeast of Corvallis, is open for U-pick seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. They sometimes run out of berries before 7, so if you're coming late in the day, call ahead. (541) 753-2614
If you are at Blueberry Meadows, you might also want to check out Davis Family Farm, also on Hwy 20 and just a bit farther toward Albany. They don't grow their own blueberries but they carry blueberries and other varieties of berries, plus apricots, peaches, tomatoes, squash, cucumbers, and other produce, much of which is from their own farm. (541) 752-0697
Radke's Blueberries, located south of Corvallis off Hwy 99 on Three Mile Ave, will be open for U-pick starting Monday, July 21, and expect to have picked berries available by the following weekend. (541) 753-5680
The Oregon Blueberries website has a list of these and other blueberry farms in the area, with addresses and contact information. Another great online resource is the Pick Your Own page for the "Salem area," which includes the mid-Willamette Valley from Yamhill County down to Linn County, along with the central Oregon coast. In addition to U-pick farm & orchard listings, they have lots of recipes and instructions for freezing, canning and drying fruit.
