How do i search for a primary article for my Amylase enzyme lab report?
Hi-i need to write a lab report for the enzyme, amylase reacting with Starch to form maltose. I am searching for a primary article for this lab report but i am a little confused. What kind of article should i use and how can i Search to find a good article?
For this you will want to find some primary research, so the best place to look is your school or college library. They will probably have a periodical search engine where you can find the specific article you are looking for. You could try the American Chemical Society, or try looking online for some peer-reviewed journals and searching for your article that way…Good luck! Finding a good, reliable article is almost always the hardest part of the assignment!!
What is the difference between Information Warfare and Information Operations?
I see both terms used interchangeably and I don’t understand why. Information Operations is a term used by the US Department of Defense, defined in Joint Publication 3-13, but I don’t see a reference for Information Warfare. The US Navy has Information Warfare officer and programs, but I don’t see how Information Warfare is defined. Can anyone help me?
Joel –
You’ve got a good question there. It sounds like a cop out, but the Navy tends to be a little bit sloppy in establishing doctrine and using joint lexicon. You correctly point out that "Information Operations" is a joint term and Navy has signed on to it. Nevertheless, we still use the term Information Warfare, and you are right — it is generally used to mean the same thing as IO. See the link below and you’ll find IW referring to the same warfare areas that you’ll see defined in JP 3-13 or JP 1-02.
Is there a way to search the Internet for information published in a foreign language?

Utilising A Search Sub Engine To Promote Your Online Business
Online marketing, website promotion, traffic generation, whatever term you use to describe your advertising methods can be very cost inhibitive and in most instances a complete waste of your advertising dollar and your valuable time.
So it is reasonable to assume that if you are involved in trading online that you will require above anything else, a cash friendly method of generating unique hits to your website which results in sales of your Information, whilst at the same time growing your customer or opt in mailing list.
Before you even try to promote your information there are a two extremely important details of your website that shouldn’t be neglected.
1. Ensure that you have facilities on your site to capture email details of all your visitors.
2. As well as your primary item, have a back up item available to sell to your prospect list.
What method do you use to capture email addresses and where within your sales text should you ask for these details from your surfer.
The usual place for your email capture is normally at the end of your text message after your prospect has absorbed your message and is now being asked to take some form of action to obtain more details or buy your item.
I suggest that this should not be the only form of email capture you utilize. Consider your sales message, and at relevant points throughout your message insert a link in the text enabling your prospects to forward their details.
Do not put this link in at random as it might have little effect, you should utilize your message to pull the surfer to your product and it’s at these varying conclusion points throughout your message that you must utilize your email capture technique.
Lots of websites, and I’m positive you have seen this technique, are utilizing a capture box which appears seconds following your entry to the site. This is the same as to a pop up, and serves to annoy the prospect and distract them from the sales message.
Be positive that you, when compiling the text message and your email capture method, put yourself in the position of the customer, if the methods you are using annoy and distract you, then it’s patently obvious that the same will apply to your prospects. Always make sure that the site and the text message are customer friendly.
Once you have the customers information, and no matter whether they have bought the item you are promoting on the website, you now require a backend, or follow up item. The up sell item must be focused on the same subject as the original advertising information.
This is simply because, the customer originally surfed the site seeking a unique type of product, so it follows that this is the main area of their interest. E.g. if you are selling a diet item and you capture email details with the sales message then it would be pointless trying to up sell a item on say, dog care to the same surfers.
Have the backend item ready, and make sure that it is related to your primary item.
Once you have all this in place the next move is the promotion of the website enabling you to begin constructing the mailing list. There are many effective ways of online business promotion, my preferred free method is the Search Sub Engine.
Search Sub Engines make for a very effective and cost friendly way to the more expensive methods such as pay per click.
With Search Sub Engines you have the ability to double sell the item in that you have two opportunities to get the sales message across.
By using this method you are guaranteed to eventually reach the #1 search option for your category due to the methods utilized by Rotata which revolves your website listing and gradually moves you towards the top listing. This is a major bonus to any site owner and it can only be found within the Search Sub Engine.
But you also have to help, and you can do that by telling all your prospects that your site is on the Search Sub Engine. You may think that this is a way for the Search Sub Engine to get free surfers, and I suppose it is, but it benefits all of us who use it if we all follow these simple techniques.
A Search Sub Engine has multiple categories and sub categories and as such, many unrelated businesses use it’s services, but at the same time, each and everyone of those website owners are also potential customers for your website, and if every website owner informs their prospects and friends, even though they might not be interested in their own item, they might be interested in other websites.
So, by doing this we are helping one another to make the most of this form of free website advertising. And, anything that has the potential to bring extra visitors to your site for cents on the dollar or even free should be promoted by its members to spread the word about its service.
Search Sub Engines, in my opinion, are set to become the new monster in free website and online business advertising and must be seriously considered when constructing your arsenal of advertising methods.

Using Search Engines to Market Your Webeden.co.uk Website – Part 2
strong>Introduction
In the first part of this article we looked at ways that you can use the sponsored listings on search engines to drive visitors to your website. This time around we’re going to be looking at boosting your website in the organic listings on search engines, a process known as Search Engine Optimisation. If you’re a website builder, then you’re going to want to get this right from the start.
Search Engine Optimisation
This is the process by which your website appears on the left hand side of the search engine results page. Also referred to as the ‘organic’ results, Google decides what to put on the results page by sending out ‘spiders’ that search the web, reading every page and categorising them into a huge directory. The spiders decide what your website is all about, and then decide how important your website is. There are two things you need to do in order to appear high up in the results. First, make it very clear to the spiders what your website is about. Second, make your page appear very important. This is a whole art in itself, but here are the basic areas you need to look at
Changes you can make to your website – ‘on page optimisation’
There are two separate ways to optimise your website so you can tell the search engine spiders what each page is about. The first is to modify the non-visible elements, such as the page title, meta keywords and meta descriptions. Within Webeden.co.uk this is very easy to do in the control panel – in fact its an important reason to build a website using the Sitemaker platform. Just go to ‘Admin’ and then from drop down menu choose ‘site keywords’ and ‘site description’. Enter the keywords and Information that you want to appear for. If your site has many different pages then choose different keywords for each page. Its important that these keywords reflect the actual visible content of the website, and aren’t about a completely different subject
The second way is to tell the search engines what each page is about, is to actually include visible text on your page, and to include your important keywords within the text. You need to make your keywords make up approximately 5% of the total content. Any headlines on the page should include the keywords too. Once again, you need to choose different keywords for each page of your site.
Off-page optimisation
The second and perhaps most important way you can boost your position in the organic SERPs, to reap the benefits when you make your own website, is by generating inbound links to your website from other websites. You also need to make sure those inbound links are using anchor text – that’s the actual words on the webpage that link to your site – are keywords that you want to appear high up for. So using the pens website example from above, you need to get inbound links to your website using the anchor text ‘buy pens’. Google places about 60% of the value of your website according to these inbound links, by looking at the ‘value’ of the websites linking to you, and the text they use to link to your site.
There’s lots of ways to generate inbound links to your website. A few are:
– Make posts in forums that include links to your website
– Make comments on blogs, especially build your own website related ones, and contribute to debates, always including a link back to your site
– Buy links using a service like text-link-ads.com
– Send out press releases that contain links to your site
– Write articles (like this one) and post them in article directories, and Google Knol
– Ask your customers and visitors to link to your site
– Contact the owners of websites that you think would benefit from knowing about your website, and ask them to link to you
– Submit your website to as many as possible website directories, including dmoz.org and Yahoo!
Summary
Search engines are the single biggest source of traffic for websites, and something you need to think about when you build a website. You need to market using search engines in order drive high levels of traffic to your site. This doesn’t have to be expensive – in fact it will probably be the most effective source of traffic. Get it right and your website will be a guaranteed success.
