Over the hol­i­days I was read­ing an arti­cle from WebProNews on the Sup­ple­men­tal Index. If you are unfa­mil­iar with the term, let me explain.

Back in 2003 Google intro­duced the Sup­ple­men­tal Index. This was an index (data­base) where web sites, pages went when not up to stan­dards (less impor­tant or less trusted) for Google’s main index (data­base). Now this expla­na­tion is a ‘brief’ to say the least, but you get the idea.

Many busi­ness own­ers were quite upset, and right­fully so, by this because if some­one typed in a search term / phrase and your site / pages were in the Sup­ple­men­tal Index your site would not come up IF oth­ers did show for the search in the main index. They would only show IF they search did not turn up results in the main index.

It’s been reported by Google Search Qual­ity Team that now when some­one types in a search term / phrase both the main and sup­ple­men­tal index will be searched. This is indeed good news.

Happy New Year!

Jan

As we come close to the end of the this year most of us start think­ing about the New Year, what is to come, what we can do to make this new year bet­ter, etc. With this in mind I have to tell you what I expe­ri­enced this evening.

I was watch­ing 60 min­utes and the inter­viewer was talk­ing about this new ‘preacher’, Joel Osteen. On the 60 Minute web­site it says “Pop­u­lar preacher Joel Osteen’s pos­i­tive mes­sage draws 40,000 a week to his Hous­ton Lake­wood church and has made him known around the world.”

We have all heard the mes­sage of the power of pos­i­tive think­ing, from the time of the actual book “The Power of Pos­tive Think­ing” (first pub­lished in 1952), to the Law of Attrac­tion, to the recent explo­sion of the book “The Secret”. The basic mes­sage tells us that we just need to think pos­i­tive and hap­pi­ness, health and wealth will come to us. I am not say­ing that pos­i­tive think­ing is a bad thing, not at all, what I am say­ing is why don’t we take it a step further.

If for a minute I set aside dif­fer­ent strains of the power of pos­i­tive think­ing, which I do believe in BTW, my fun­da­men­tal “law” has always been the golden rule… ‘treat oth­ers as you would want to be treated’. Pos­i­tive think­ing — yes!

Now I ask you, if every­one in the New Year, 2008, treated every­one the way they wanted to be treated don’t you think the world would be a very dif­fer­ent place? Ok, maybe we all wouldn’t make ‘tons of money’ because this is not a catchy pro­gram or best­seller book, but I do believe that we would all live in a much bet­ter, health­ier and hap­pier world. Don’t you?!

“Use The Power of Pos­i­tive Think­ing” to attract into your life — THEN — remem­ber to prac­tice the “Golden Rule” and give back to oth­ers — The Good Of All!
