I'm just wondering about something: none of players playing right now featured in the game on sunday except for Bentner who came as a sub.
Which other team can do that
You're wrong there.

Man Utd can easily do that as well.

Thomas Kuszak, John Oshea, Gerrard Pique, Jon
Evans, Darren Fletcher, Luis Nani, Chris Eagles,
Danny Simpson, Ji Sung Park, Louis Saha and
Michael Carrick.

And we havent even mentioned Paul Scholes, Gary
Neville and Mikael Silvestre all out injured.

What other ways apart from Google Ad sense are available to monetize a website?
It all depends on the niche your website is
targeting.

Generally speaking though, you could find
a product you think your website visitors
will like and sell to them for a commission.

You can get ideas from the clickbank market
place or commission junction.

You can even create a product for them.

Like I said, it all depends on your niche.

Even in our houses parents and neighbours discriminate against HND holders; they give more pocket money and respect to kids in the universities than those in the polytechnics.

He sure can make a difference.

The russian team is an average team but the
coach has brought the best out of them.

Croatia's best player is Eduardo and we can
all see that he is just an average player.

The greek team that won Euro 2004 was made
up of average players.

Capello can surely turn the fortunes of that
team around.

Teriba:
@ akinalabi

So was he already a boxing genius before the defeat of Hatton or after? Why is it that they are now focusing on his boxing rather than his short-comings ? My point is, his boxing should have been the talking-point all along!
Everyone knew he was a genius before [/b]and not
just after he had beaten Hatton.

Mayweather was the favourite and Hatton was
the underdog and that is why the [b]British bookies
staked billions of pounds
on Mayweather to win.

There is usually a lot of non boxing talks before big
bouts like this and it is all part of the entertainment.

Out of the two camps, the Mayweather camp did
more talking
(note that I said camps) with
statements like Ricky Hatton should be happy enough
just to be on the same ring with Mayweather.

It can't be "boxing talk" all through. This is entertainment
and boxing talk only will be boring.

Marcello Lippi was experienced only in club management
before he took over the azzuris and he won the world cup.

Shouldn't be a problem.

@ Akolawole

Yep, Capello puts results first but somehow
he still manages to create sides that entertain.

His Milan squad that won the UCL in 1994 was
brilliant.

Then his first stint at Real Madrid in 1995, they
played some breathtaking football along the
way.

He should succeed there.

Fabio Capello has been named as the new

That was done moments ago.

I reckon he will do a great job there. He's got
an impeccable CV.

The British media, both print and broadcast, did alot of that prior to that fight. You can check their coverage on-line, you will see what I`m talking about.
I followed the coverage from day one and I was
even present at the presentation in Manchester.

There was no personal attack on the person of
Mayweahther all through. Everyone knows he is
the best pound for pound boxer in the world and
that he is a hell of a fighter.

Look at the prices for the match. Mayweather was
the favourite. Those prices were set by Brits!

All they did was support their own even when they
knew he was the underdog.


And that is a good thing.

No personal attack on the "pretty boy".

WebmastersRe: Would You Put Your Picture On Your Site? Why? by akinalabi(m): 2:41pm On Dec 13, 2007
Afam:
My question remains - How are we sure that the picture is your own?
Whether some people believe it's my picture or not
is not really an issue. Some will believe, some won't.

Even if I talk, put video and even visit their homes
physically, there will always be doubters and I won't
bother about that.

I want you to understand my position on this matter.

I sell different products and services on my various
websites and I want to sell as much as posiible.

I carry out various split testing. Headline testing,
price testing, guarantee testing, graphic testing and
more.

My "picture test" reveals I convert traffic to sales more
with a picture than without a picture.

I'm not 100% sure why it's like that. I just think that
when you have a small website trying to sell and
compete with the big brands, a picture adds a kind
of "warmth" to it.

Big brands like Amazon don't need to use "little little"
tactics like that. But as for me that started my business
with only N3,500 in 2003, I need to use Guerilla Marketing
a lot.

Conclusion: Since I sell more with my pictures on them,
I will continue to use them even if there are some people
that will think it's not my picture.

Afam:
And how will people be sure that the picture you have there is even your own?

This picture stuff is not it on business websites. If it were so then the pictures of the owners of ebay, google, cnn, myspace, yahoo etc would be decorating their websites.
Like I said earlier on, I carried out a test spanning
over 12 months.

With the same volume and source of traffic, I found
out that I sold more of my products when I had my
picture on it that when I didn't have it.

I'm not 100% sure why and speculation is not my
thing. Testing is what is important and I've done
that.

So I use my pictures.

I've got my pictures on most of my websites.

I carried out tests and my traffic to sales ratio
was higher when I had my pictures. I can't really
say why.
