Craigslist Notifier - Never miss out again!

Who hasn’t called on an item for sale on Craigslist that wasn’t already sold by the time you contacted the seller? The typical Craigslist user does not delete the listing after the item is already sold, So, it will stay in there until it expires and Craigslist users keep sending emails that are simply being ignored.

Are the items at bargain prices typically sold by the time you contact the seller? That’s because smart bargain hunters use programs that immediately notify them when an item gets listed that they are looking for. They get notified before anubody else has the chance to read the advertised product.

So far you had to pay for a reliable Craigslist notification service. Not anymore, Radiux just added a Craigslist Notifier to its already great portfolio of online services (such as the visual Craigslist browser). This is not just an RSS feed Craigslist search but an intelligent search tool. You can even get notifications on your cell phone - for free! Signing up for Radiux is still free, so go there now!

Search thousands of jobs with Executive Search Firm

If you have always felt that you were good with people and have the natural ability to lead, a career in management may be one that you are destined for. There are many types of management positions, some of them even entry level. We will discus the common responsibilities of three types of management positions, which include: Conference Center Management, Project Management and Risk Management. These types of positions may be a little challenging to find on your own, however a good headhunter or executive search firm, can assist you by putting you in touch with the right people for the career path you choose.

When you use the services of a headhunter or executive search firm, it’s not like one of those general job boards or even a niche job board, such as for restaurant jobs in Canada or nursing jobs in California. A headhunter is your personal expert on finding you your dream job.

If that job is a Conference Center Manager, who is usually responsible for the day-to-day management of a conference center and its staff, you will have commercial accountability for planning, organizing and directing all center services. As a manager you would be responsible for leading the development of the center by liaising with the conference center’s operational management team, which may include event organizers, front-of-house managers and catering managers. You must also strike a balance between customer satisfaction and effective business management, which often means dealing with last-minute changes or solving problems as they arise. A career in Conference Center Management can be a very challenging yet exciting one. An conference management executive search firm, headhunter or recruiter can help direct you in the right direction when conducting your employment search.

The role of a Project Manager is to provide project leadership and management to an organization and projects may vary depending on the size of the company. As a typical Project Manager, you may be expected to oversee an entire project, from approval to closure. You may also be required to ensure project requirements are achieved in a timely fashion and within budget guidelines, and may even be responsible for assembling the entire project team. A career in project management is usually one that you would work up to because it may require certain educational and practical experience. An executive management search firm directory may be an excellent resource to get a better understanding on what practical business experience you may require.

.

A Risk Manager is responsible for administering and managing an organization’s risk management, and your immediate supervisor would typically be the CEO or another senior executive officer of the company. The general responsibilities of a Risk Manger are to develop and implement systems, policies and procedures for the identification, collection and analysis of risk related information. Once a program has been developed, you will also be required to educates and train the managers and staff of the risk management program, and each of their respective responsibilities in carrying out the program. To be eligible for a Risk Management position, you typically will be required to posses a bachelor’s degree in business administration and have a few years of experience in a similar field. Before you begin to approach organizations for a position as a Risk Manager, you could always see if you qualify by contacting a risk management executive recruiter that specializes in that field.

Is Google Hitting Directory Links?

Algorithmic flux or selective penalization? Nobody’s sure and nobody that can answer is talking so far, but paid link directories have been plummeting in Google search results. Many are not ranking for their own business name, according to reports, even though webmasters have not received penalty notices.

Editor’s Note: This article doesn’t address the robust discussion of whether Google should or should not devalue paid links, or even the value of directories themselves. This is a hot topic and we know you have an opinion. Speak out in the comments section.

As many as 60 directories, according to this report, suddenly dropped in rank, leading to suspicion that Google has begun aggressively (and likely, manually) targeting paid link directories deemed to be in violation of the search engine’s quality guidelines. Some have suggested competitor sabotage via the recently initiated paid link reporting form.

Some of affected directories included Aviva, Alive, Big Web Links, ewebpages, Directory Dump, Elegant Directory, and Biz-Dir. David Eaves, the owner and operator of Biz-Dir told WebProNews that about 550 of his directory pages have been dropped from Google’s index altogether.

Resubmit for indexing
Eaves admits to buying links, which he considers a legitimate form of advertising, but says Google gave him no notice that his site was being penalized. Eaves is considering dropping his paid links in order to get his pages re-indexed by Google.

It’s important to note, though, that’s not necessarily the best course of action for everybody. Eaves is obviously quite concerned for SEO and directory clients, and says he can sustain a decent rank with natural links. And he says it wouldn’t hurt him to change the links he paid for to nofollow, as the traffic from those links outweighs the traffic he gets from Google.

Again, Google hasn’t sent out notice, and hasn’t returned request for comment, so it could be just an algorithmic flux. So the important thing to remember is: Don’t panic. This could be just the old Google Dance. I remember a man in 2005 ready to put a shotgun in his mouth because his site was de-listed after an algorithm update. “Don’t panic” was the operative phrase of that day, too.

But Google’s Matt Cutts has been firing warning shots in previous months, both from his blog and from the Search Engine Strategies Conference in San Jose, saying that Google was going to be more aggressive about paid links that violated quality guidelines.

During a session at SES called “Are Paid Links Evil?” Cutts presented a slide presentation, which he was approved to release, distinguishing the types of paid links Google doesn’t like. Cutts cited first a Federal Trade Commission ruling that said sponsored or advertising links must be clearly labeled, and further differentiated between paid links by saying the only ones penalized were links that passed on page rank (PPP).

So whether or not you philosophically agree with Google’s point, if being in Google’s search rankings is more important to you than winning an argument, Cutts suggests labeling paid links in the following ways:

· Redirect through URL blocked by robots.txt
· Redirect through URL using a 302
· Use Javascript to direct the link
· Apply the rel= “nofollow? attribute to the link
· Add to the page header

It may not be fair to say that Google favors buying links from certain places, but there are “certain places” on the approved list, and they include:

· AdBrite
· Quigo
· IndustryBrains
· Microsoft AdCenter
· Yahoo! Publisher Network
· Any site that doesn’t pass PageRank
