Increase Traffic and Revenue Growth

    The internet has evolved from a growing market.  In todays’ society, people are consumed by social networking websites, and websites that contain pertinent information related to their interests.  It’s a growing market, and the trends dictate the success of online websites.  How can you expand the user base or traffic to your website? It’s should be your objective to utilize the resources available to you.  You don’t have to spend money to expand the user base.

    Starting a website may require you to spend money on a website developer, hosting, or other elements that are needed to keep the website maintained. If your not looking for a top looking website, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to launch a website.  You can check out the following links that will allow you to set up a website for yourself, without any major costs:

Before you jump to wanting to make money, you must have a direct plan on what you would like the website to be about. Is it a website that provides a service that people will use. When you plan the website out, you must direct your attention to the marketing aspects of the company.  Is there a need for the website or a desire for people to view the website? What does the website offer users? If you didn’t own the website, would you be someone that would find the website interesting or useful?  You must also be sure that there is no copyright, trademark, or legal infringement from making the website.  If there is, this must be addressed to protect you from legal obligations.

Quote of the day

Never place a period, where god has placed a period

My Take on the War and The Situation

Theodore Roosevelt once stated, “In any Situation, the best thing you can do is the right thing; the next best thing you can do is the wrong thing; the worst thing you can do is nothing.” Statistically wise, surely, this is not the case for President George W. Bush, as 75% of Americans are opposed to President Bush’s Iraq policy. The majority of Americans remember where they were as they observed the kindled hatred derived from terrorism and the reality of the conflict. Society had experienced a wave of racism that consumed the conflict; citizens raging that action be taken.  The President’s rationale for invading Iraq was evident: to “fight the war on terrorism” through the intervention of American forces. The only question is: Is the current situation justifiable and did President Bush make the right decision that will be successful for the entire world.      

            We live in a society where human neglect runs rapid. Often times, news stations promote bios messages that dictate public views.  People’s assumptions and ignorance, often times, induce hatred and separation among society.  Sediment in society is that oil is the basis for the war.  Illogical theories are developed to merely alter the public view. 

            As Americans, we’re exposed to ample freedom by which has defined our country for so many years, freedom that we so often taken advantage of. Human neglect has faced society for centuries and resulted in atrocities that have defined our very history textbooks.  After Nine-Eleven, the public was demanding revenge on the people responsible, pointing fingers in every direction.  The revenge consumed a large portion of American citizens, as they decided to take deliberate action against alleged terrorists, based merely on assumption.  President Bush, in order to combat the problem, designed programs that would secure protection of American citizens. Unlike America, the Middle East is exposed to abhorrence and suicide bombings everyday. It was nine-eleven that induced a shift in public view.  It was merely America that drove the escalation of the problem, but that escalation will, in tern, provide a basis for a reformed government in Iraq. 

            It is evident that the United States allocates excessive amounts of money to fund the “War on Terror.” It is estimated that the war costs about three-hundred-fifty billion dollars. It’s essential that the United States allocate funds for the right purposes, such as Environmental conservation, government subsidies, and other system. Instead of human neglect, it’s vital that advancement occurs before it’s too late. President Bush said, “Our administration is concerned about deficits, and the way they deal with deficits is you want to control spending. And I hope Congress lives up to their words. When they talk about deficits, they can join us in making sure we don’t overspend. They can join us and make sure that the appropriations process is focused on those issues that — those items that are absolutely necessary to the American people. I’m pleased that members of the Congress are talking about deficits. It means they understand their obligations not to overspend the people’s money.” It’s important to secure democracy, but there must be other alternative ways that would remain sufficient. The new election will be a cornerstone for the war. The next president will determine the destiny of so many soldiers that are currently at war. Who will you choose?

What Constitutes Government Intervention in Entertainment

    Throughout time, entertainment has vastly evolved in a direction of mass media entertainment. As entertainment becomes more accessible, teens are exposed to excessive amounts of violence, and a harsh reality of the world they live. A new conflict arises: Should the state mandate entertainment that is released to the public? When is it acceptable for the government to mandate entertainment to the public?

    The Bill of Rights, advocated and developed under James Madison, became the cornerstone for citizen’s rights. It specified the rights of each citizen, and limited government intervention on them. The first amendment of the United States Constitution states that people have the right for freedom of speech.  Government censorship would place limitations on citizen’s freedom of speech, which is unconstitutional.  (Amsco, pg. 102)

    For so many years, teens have downloaded illegal movies, shows, and music from the internet.  During adolescence, they often time seek loop holes in the legal system that will allow them to get what they want.  Legislative action would merely provoke disorder, and the illegal downloading of movies. 

    One the largest entertainment companies is the movie theater. Entertainment dictates society trends, and the prosperity of the economy is based on this. With such limitations, the economy would be drastically affected. Sales would greatly decrease, entertainment companies would have to spend millions to fight censorship, and the entire economy would suffer. 

    thout the entertainment industry, the United States would lose billions in profits. It would lead to unconstitutional legislation that would limit the very freedom of speech that the United States is founded on.  Will this be the future of our country or our world? Only time will tell.

The Desireable Job

With the gaming market surpassing the movie industry, it has reached over 145 billion Americans; 60% of which play video games. With the traditional e-sports, players and teams consisted of fans around the world competing for a purse of over one million dollars.  Thousands watched as each match progressed, each shot dictating the reaction of the fans and the outcome of the match. Electronic Sports has inhabited the sports community for over a decade. It is only now that we see a new wave of expansion that inhabits the United States and other countries where esports hadn’t gained recognition before. Although we enter into a new age of esports, it is far from evident of what will transpire.             A critical component to Electronic Sports is the mainstream competition through leagues.  A predominant factor that aspires the success of Electronic Sports are leagues such as CEVO, ESWC, CPL,  and other international competition. These leagues feature significant cash prizes that attributed to the development of a new phase that has shaped Electronic Sports. With such growth, there are always challenges that esports faces. Some of those challenges are adhering to the moving trends of Esports. As we enter into a new age of gaming, we are forced to conform to the standard stipulated by companies such as DirectTV, who launched “The Championship Gaming Series.” Although predominantly a league based on transforming a new generation of teams into franchises; the league compells fans to take a new direction of interactaction and view of players and competition. Like anything else, the “The Championship Gaming Series” has positive and negative effects. One major postitive effect is that players will have the opportunity to compete at the pinnacle of esports, without the confussion of management and financial problems. It will also provide a salary stipulated not by performance, but rather by franchise participation through competition. As most players received a salary, this will only mark a new standard for Electronic Sports, shaping the essence of the sport.  As Prominent icons are preponderant to the asset of Electronic Sports and to franchises in CGS, players will need to represent the diverse franchises currently available. Another posititve effect that CGS provides would be, much like NFL, NHL, and other prominent leagues, there is a draft that players have the opportunity to participate in. The draft allows players to compete under the supervision of the most prominent general managers of some of the largest franchises in the league. The managers scope out players that they feel are capable of competing at a professional level. In essence, it’s the draft that will remain a vital component of the franchises.  As the league expands, international competition is essential to the expanssion of esports.Negative effects often conviene in anything that people do. A negative effect that will shape the entire sport would be competition: CPL, ESWC, SGL, and other major online/offline leagues that fans are used to watching will become second rate in professional sports, and fans will ultiminately be limited to only watching CGS. Over the past few years, CPL and other leagues have been limited to the size of the market.  This has resulted in CPL folding, leaving esports with meerly another memory.  The tradition of competition in esports is changing, making it almost impossible for new teams to develop and have the opportunity to go “professional.”  With players having restricted contracts and busy schedules, their preperation and attendance will purely convene in CGS. It will create a standard that we are simply not used to. Where other online communications will not be alloted to communicate the events that are happening. Instead, there will be a bidding opportunity to broadcasting companies.  If companies do not bid, their restricted to other leagues; which may not comprise of top teams and a large population of fans. This limitation will decrease the ammount of fans, as fans for CGS and certain matches are restricted to only view certain matches on DirectTV.  Over time, one can assume that communication will only spread the dream. The dream of aquiring ESPN and major television networks to broadcast esports matches. With major teams not participating in major events, the fan base will decrease . Sadly, we’re bound to expand, but the fan base that once consumed Electronic Sports is slowely decreasing. One form of noticing this is IRC, which is an alternative communication program that has alloted fans to interact with players, or chat about the latest information. As we look into the homes of such great teams on mIRC, we slowely see a degression of support in those channels. Several years ago, esports was at its pinaccle. Thousands watched each match, vividly waiting for each conclusion of the match on Gotfrag, and would participate in trying to reach a professional level. Now, we’re exposed to a standard that confines Electronic Sports’ expansion, hoping that the fan base will purely increase. Surely, Electronic Sports is gaining potential sponsorship opportunities with such companies as Microsoft, IGN, DirectTV, GameSpy, Dell. Even with such great expossure to mass media and sponsors, esports is simply expanding. The concept that fans could communicate so easily was what made esports so great. Until the CGS adds franchises, we’re unable to truly gain a sense of where the league and esports will be directed. In the gaming market, 87% of those who purchase console games are over 18; 97% of those who purchase PCs are adults. Although the market is subvertantly changing, statistics show the market trend that defines esports; which evidently the market has expanded with adults participation in esports. Altough underage participation still occurs, leagues around the world have created an age standard for the development of gaming as a sport.  This standard is postitive for esports, as it defines a maturity level that must be followed. Although some may not be as familiar with gaming as a sport, it has grown into a phenominon around the world.  What will the next generation of gamers be like and will gaming progress to be larger then it already is?
