We’ve been posting to this blog for many months on different thoughts concerning the different magazine subscription services we offer. What we’ve found through trial and error is that there are 2 huge limitations to getting found on the search engines by more readers who can benefit from our tidbits of wisdom. The first is that Yahoo, MSN and Google which are responsible for most traffic via search engines treat our blog differently. The second problem is coming up with content as fast as possible in the most cost effective way.

I was reading a blog I’ve been following for over a year and he posed a challenge this weekend and asked his readers if they could come up with a compelling question about ranking on the 3 top engines. So based on our personal challenges with getting the word out, my question is:

“James, Since the engines have different algorithms for rankings would you with your blog, create different postings for each engine and in a sense run 3 separate blogs on your site to drive rankings thru each engine. Or would you have one blog and just mix up the postings with an emphasis on one engine with each posting? And do you have suggestions on how to cost effectively get the content publishing done more efficiently? (is this 2 questions, if so, just tackle the first one)

Bass Player (which comes 12 times per year) is not a common magazine you see in ordinary places because it’s readership is very commited to music. If you have a music store with a lot of people milling around then having an excellent selection of Music subscriptions would be a great answer for you. If you have a significant amount of quality waiting room magazine subscriptions, your customers will be able to find something of interest to them to occupy their wait time if they prefer.

While magazaine services can supply a wide variety of options to you, you may choose to subscribe to periodicals on your own that will fit with the topics within your profession. This would allow for more control and happier clients.

Each month BASS PLAYER brings you
• Interviews with the worlds top bassists
• Hands on lessons in every style
• Comprehensive reviews of basses, amps, effects, and more
• News on the lates

When selecting a magazine to have in your waiting room you need to consider if you want it to be issue related or something more general like Music magazines. A popular magazine, such as entertainment, or news may interest a broader audience.

Your customers will appreciate the gesture you make by getting waiting room subscriptions; they will feel better about waiting for service. Bass Player magazine is a great subscription for a waiting room or reception area because if your customers like Music magazines then they don’t mind waiting even when there is a delay and since it shows up 12 times a year you are bound to have a different copy each time someone comes to your office.

Backpacker shows up 9 times per year.  It used to be that outdoor magazines were just something you picked up at a checkout counter like a grocery store or at a newsstand. But then they became a tool for customer satisfaction in professional situations.

Are you a real esate agent, or other professional? If you are, it is almost certain that you regularly have to ask clients to stay in a waiting room. They sit there, for as little as five minutes but sometimes as long as an hour, before they can be admitted to use your services.

If, in your particular business you frequently find you have to keep clients waiting, you have probably thought a great deal about how best to keep them occupied while they wait. After all, if they become bored, once you are able to see them they are likely to be irritated or stressed by the wait. This may affect your ability to serve them less effectively.

Lots of fine options exist for making a waiting room area more interesting and fun. Some professionals use televisions to keep clients occupied, but not everyone likes the noise of a TV. Other professionals make sure the kids are busy with toys, but this doesn’t help the adults.

A wide variety of Hiking newspapers and magazines is a better idea. Making the magazines in your waiting room available gives your clients a way to pass the time until you are ready and able to see them, without requiring them to do or watch anything.

Some magazine subscription services may offer you a wide variety of Hiking periodicals for you to choose (think for example of Backpacker). You can also select individual magazines yourself on particular topics that suit your profession. This gives you more control over the kind of magazines you purchase and will make your clients happier.

Backpacker magazine is proud ot be the most comprehensive magazine of wilderness travel that offers the practical and prudent tips you need to enjoy every walk in the wild. THE BEST places, gear and i

In a waiting room, some prefer to have a magazine subscription to more popular titles. Such a magazine is one that is less specific in topic than others but is likely more appealing to anyone who might visit. The choice is merely a matter of preference.

Waiting room magazine subscriptions make life easier for you and for your clients. They will feel better about seeing you, and you will have one less thing to worry about. Backpacker magazine is a great subscription for a waiting room or reception area because if your customers like Hiking magazines then they don’t mind waiting even when there is a delay and since it shows up 9 times a year you are bound to have a different copy each time someone comes to your office.

here’s a departure from our usual banter on health magazine subscriptions because of the recent epidemic sweeping our nation. pls read this from a good friend and tune back in again when we discuss more of this issue from other articles we cull from health magazines like Kiplingers.

Serious MRSA Infections More Common

Friday, Nov 2 2007

Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a drug-resistant strain of Staph which has been getting a lot of media attention recently, having caused several serious infections in schools, especially in student athletes. This search for MRSA in Google News reveals the many stories and heightened concern that this bacterium has been generating.

A few years ago MRSA infections occurred only in hospitals or nursing homes. It became prevalent in these settings because the wide use of broad spectrum antibiotics selected for resistant strains by killing all other bacteria. In the last few years, however, MRSA has become very common in the community. Patients who have never been in healthcare facilities are getting serious MRSA infections. This became so common that doctors had to change the antibiotics that we were using to treat community-acquired skin infections. The previous first line antibiotic, cephalexin (Keflex), isn’t effective against MRSA and is now rarely used for skin infections.

This Times article and this fact list by the Centers for Disease Control have very useful summaries of what MRSA infections look like, and how to prevent them. I encourage you to take a look.

We’re stuck in an escalating arms race with microorganisms in which our ever-improving antimicrobial medicines are being met with ever-increasing bacterial drug resistance. Prevention seems to be the best strategy: frequent and meticulous hand washing, laundering items like towels that are used by more than one person, and frequently cleaning surfaces that touch bare skin, like shower floors. Twenty-first century pharmaceuticals have made old-fashioned hygiene more essential than ever.

E-mail is not always checked daily, so

The intent of this communication is to bring to the forefront of your attention a developing national medical concern. Our goal is not to cause fear and panic, rather to educate our readers on steps that we can take to prevent its spread. Many of you have undoubtedly already heard about the recent spread of the infectious organism MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or “staph”) amongst several schools nationwide. Several children have died, and entire school systems are shutting down to undertake massive disinfecting operations.

The cases to date do not justify classifying the spread of MRSA as an epidemic. However, we feel that it is crucial to bring important facts to light so that parents and faculty alike are prepared to deal with the growing problem.

 
Briefly, the bacteria MRSA is a virulent organism that is not cured by standard oral antibiotic therapies, such as penicillin. For many years, this virulent organism was frequently seen only in hospitals amongst the sickest patients with weakened immune systems. MRSA is a common cause of skin infections, pneumonia, surgical wound infections, and bloodstream infections, and it can cause a rapid clinical decline in its host. Importantly, differentiating between MRSA and a more routine staph infection is not possible based on physical examination alone.

 
In recent years, doctors have been also finding the organism MRSA as the culprit in infections originating in the community setting. Data from 2003 indicates that 12% of MRSA infections are community acquired, and the more recent yet unpublished numbers will likely show an upward trend. Skin infections, the primary site of infections for community diagnosed cases, may look like a pimple or boil and can be red, swollen, painful, or have pus or other drainage.

 
There are simple preventative measures focused on practicing good hygiene that we strongly encourage following, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC):

 
   1. Keep your hands clean by washing thoroughly with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

   2. Keep cuts and scrapes clean and covered with a bandage until healed.

   3. Avoid contact with other people’s wounds or bandages.

   4. Avoid sharing personal items such as towels or razors.

Given the above, and given the difficulties of frequent hand washing in schools, we strongly encourage all schools to take immediate measures to increase the number of alcohol-based hand sanitizers available for students and faculty.

I know this is a departure from our magazine subscription blogging but it was important to send this out.

Atlantic Monthly shows up 10 times per year and is a great read when you have a lot of time like sitting in an office. The use of waiting areas or rooms is common practice amongst professionals such as therapists. Clients are asked to remain in this area until such time as they can be seen by the professional. They can wait as long as an hour or as little as five minutes. If you are in one of these professions you will almost certainly have asked a client to use this facility.

If this applies in your professional office, you have no doubt considered how to keep your clients from being bored until you can see them. Bored people tend to become annoyed and stressed over time. If they do become bored, that will make it unnecessarily difficult to provide them with the services they need.

Some waiting room have televisions turned to a news chanel to liven up a boring waiting room, however, this can be invasive to those who prefer silence. Some waiting rooms have toys for the children, but what about the adults?

Offering a good variety of News magazines is a better solution. With waiting room magazine subscriptions, clients or patients can find topics that interest them to keep themselves amused while they wait. They can choose whether or to read them, depending on their preferences.

Some magazine subscription services may offer you a wide variety of News periodicals for you to choose (think for example of Atlantic Monthly). You can also select individual magazines yourself on particular topics that suit your profession. This gives you more control over the kind of magazines you purchase and will make your clients happier.

Every month The Atlantic Monthly places you at the leading edge of contemporary issues plus the very best in fiction, travel, food and humor. The magazine features the best contemporary writers, poets and essayists.

Throughout its award winning, 140 year history, The Atlantic has set the standard for outstanding writing. You will see how the nation’s best writers make sense from facts, build a case, and drive home a conclusion. You’ll get a feel for the big issues beneath the surface in politics, government, foreign affairs, economics, health, religion, science, history, and war. In fiction and poetry, you’ll be introduced to authors such as Cynthia Ozick, Bobbie Ann Mason, John Updike, Jane Kenyon, and W. S. Merwin. Through our reviews of fiction and non fiction, you’ll see how a master critic penetrates to the heart of a work and compares it with others.

In a waiting room, some prefer to have a magazine subscription to more popular titles. Such a magazine is one that is less specific in topic than others but is likely more appealing to anyone who might visit. The choice is merely a matter of preference.

When you look for Artists Magazine which shows up 12 times per year, do you ever wonder if the magazine is really that relevant anymore. It used to be that magazines were just something you picked up at a checkout counter. But they’ve become a tool for customer satisfaction in professional situations.

As a medical professional, cosmetologist, or someone of similar employment, you more than likely have a waiting room in your facility. This means you must be well aware that when asking clients to have a seat in the waiting room, they sometimes wait for a brief couple of minutes but can wait for an hour or more.

If this is the case in your professional situation, you probably have given a good deal of thought to how you can keep those clients occupied while they wait. Otherwise, they may arrive in your office feeling stressed out or annoyed by their boredom. This may have an effect on how well you are able to serve them.

There are some good options for livening up those boring waiting rooms. Some professionals install televisions tuned to a news channel, but this can be invasive to those who prefer silence. Others have toys for children to play with, but what about the adults?

A better solution for you is a good selection of Art magazine subscriptions. By having waiting room magazine subscriptions, your clients will be able to amuse themselves in a way that they choose, with a topic that is of interest to them. They can read or not, as they prefer.

There are discount subscription services that will select a group of periodicals for your office to receive from categories like Art magazine, but you may also choose to select them yourself based upon your own preferences and profession; you have greater control and may better satisfy clients by making your own selections.

Artists magaziine is an ideal atmosphere. We offer the serious, active artist instructional guidance based on step by step presentations. Youll also find practical, technical advice about tools, mater

Many people prefer to get subscriptions to popular magazines, such as a Art magazine or digest, for their waiting rooms; this means that almost anyone waiting for an appointment with you will find something of interest in the magazine.

Your clients will appreciate the gesture you make by getting waiting room subscriptions; they will feel better about waiting to see you.

When you review the latest copy of Arthur Frommers Budget Travel and you realize that it shows up 10 times per year, do you ever wonder if the magazine is really that important for keeping up with travel plans. It used to be that magazines were just something you picked up at a checkout counter like a grocery store or at a newsstand.
