How To Find Real Sex Information?

Do the test. Go to Google and type "masturbation" in the search box. Because you are looking for some serious and reliable information on the subject. What you get? You probably already know. At least 500.000 links to porn sites. Think that is a lot? Well, actually it is much more!

The root of this problem is in three things:

1. Search engines (not just Google) do not research the net nor the "information" they pretend to offer. They simply have robots that crawl the Internet 24 hours a day every day looking for only one thing: the pages that best fit their submission criteria.

2. The adult industry as a collective is a master in manipulating search engines and they do not mind using every trick in the book, including the ones that are in the "forbidden" chapter.

3. Most importantly: the first really useful search tool for the Internet - that can be used by ordinary people like you and me - has yet to be invented.

So how do you bypass or eliminate all the BS?

The truth is: trying to avoid all of it is impossible. But, the good news is ........ there are ways to avoid most of it.

Ask questions

A single word search in any search engine is usually useless. It will simply bring up thousands of sites that have the word you are looking for as a "keyword" in their text, their invisible meta tags, or both. Porn sites use software to search for the most frequently used search terms (including typing errors) and will pack their pages with them. So "masturbation" will get you nowhere. To be exact: it will bring up 20.700.000 results in Google. Not very productive.

Let's add just one word and search for "masturbation methods". Now we are down to 805.000 results. That is still way too much to be useful, but by adding one word we have eliminated 20 million (!) results. "common masturbation methods" gets us down to 571.000 results. "Common masturbation methods definition" knocks off another 100.000 results.

You get my point. The more precise your question, the better the results.

Multiple engine searches

Another effective method is to use multiple search engine searches. There is an easy to use and free software program for that called Copernic. You can download it from www.copernic.com and the free version of their software will do just fine for most users.

Multiple engine searches usually scan between five to eight of the top engines and will bring up the top results of all these engines first. This too, especially if you use the multiple word trick here as well, is very effective.

The Importance of a Sales Funnel in Your Business

If you understand the importance of a sales funnel in your business, then you will have a good tool at your disposal to enable you to analyze your sales procedures. Those of you who do not know what a sales funnel is are missing out on a technique that is commonly used in business, both online and offline, to indicate where in the sales procedure prospects are being lost, and where bottlenecks are occurring.

Visualize a funnel, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Into the top you pour all of your leads, wherever they have come from. At various stages in their progress down your funnel, these leads become more and more qualified until at the end those falling out of the bottom of the funnel are completed paid for sales.

At various stages in the journey through the funnel you should have certain qualification stages for your leads, and you should know exactly how each stages qualifies them. Thus, you should know at what point the leads are contacted directly, when samples are provided, when quotations are given and even where offers are turned down. Sometimes you will find some leads spending too much time in the funnel and decide to eject them yourself, but the most important aspect of the funnel is that you know what is happening at each stage.

You should manage the flow through the funnel so that it proceeds smoothly without blockages. Perhaps it slows down because it full of slow moving leads, and you need to give it a clean out. You do this by re-qualifying some of the prospects out of the funnel, and either discard them permanently or put them aside for a while until the funnel is moving smoothly and there is more room for them.

If you can identify a delay, you can normally deal with it. If you can identify a deal that is taking to long to close, you either accelerate it or clear it out permanently. A funnel can be lubricated to improve flow by training the sales force, or improving communications between sales and marketing. As long as you know the state of qualification at every stage in the funnel, you can tell how effectively your sales and marketing processes are working.

It might be that you are pouring too much into the top and the funnel is getting plugged up. Perhaps you need to improve your qualification criteria to improve the quality of leads, so that only leads that have been through the initial contact procedure are allowed in rather than just everybody that expresses an interest in your products. This would change the shape of the funnel by narrowing it.

If you use your sales funnel properly, you can identify levels in it at which major changes in its diameter occur and take action to lubricate it at these points by concentrating your sales efforts on them, or devising and implementing procedures to increase the flow. The whole concept of a sales funnel is to analyze the differentials between diameter and flow and gain a better understanding of what is happening at each stage of your sales process.

If you identify each stage of the funnel with a specific sales function, then you can identify each with a set of criteria that allow you to note the state of qualification of the leads at each stage. As they become more qualified they pass farther done the funnel. If the tunnel gets blocked at a specific place, the efforts required to clear it can be identified and not only will the bottleneck be cleared, but its causes will be known and procedures put into place to widen the funnel at that point.

A sales funnel can be used to identify the areas of your marketing and sales efforts that need improved, and also those leads and prospects that are dead wood and should be removed. It might be that not enough are going into the funnel to keep it viable, and so a sales drive is needed, or too many are being stuffed into it in which case they have to be better qualified before being regarded as prospects.

You can use it to track your sales against budget, and whether or not the flow through the funnel is fast enough to meet budget. If it is not, the department causing the deficit can be identified and a decision made as to whether any major changes are needed for a required sales budget to be met. If a realistic budget as determined by the funnel is insufficient then what changes are necessary to the funnel to allow more flow through it.

The importance of a sales funnel in your business cannot be overemphasized, and once you have learned how to use it properly, you will never want to be without it.

Kama Sutra Positions - Ancient Sex Techniques

The ancient Hindus have a well-developed literary tradition that focuses on the art and science of achieving rewarding sex. The most well known sex positions can be found in the Kama Sutra. There are several Kama Sutra positions worth recommending in the quest for sexual pleasure: the traditional woman on her back, man on top position; man on his back, woman on top position; and woman with her back to the man. Here are several uniquely named and loosely translated Kama Sutra positions to unleash your most primal desires.

Putting On The Sock. Go ahead try saying it without bursting with laughter or better yet let your imagination run wild. Putting on the sock does not refer to the man covering his penis with a sock. Actually, it refers to a very erotic technique with the woman on her back the man sits between her legs and puts his penis at the entrance of her vagina. Slowly caressing her vagina he replaces his fingers with his penis. The continued stroking will leave her incredibly wet, wild and on the verge of an orgasm. The man brings the erotic torture to an end by thrusting into the woman giving her what she truly craves.

The Blacksmiths Posture. In this Kama Sutra position the woman lies down and drawing her knees to her torso pushing her vagina forward creating a scintillating view. The man then begins the game of teasing her madly by inserting and withdrawing his penis. Obviously, this Kama Sutra position helps the man maintain a longer erection. Supposedly, this movement imitates the blacksmith who draws the hot iron from the fire The best thing is that this Kama Sutra position can lead to scorching sex.

The Ostrichs Tail.' With the woman on her back, the man kneels at her feet and then raises her legs until only her head and shoulders remain on the bed or floor. After he enters her she can then put her legs around his head. Her raised legs give the impression of being spread outlike an ostrich's tail. This sensual Kama Sutra position benefits both partners by allowing them to slowing build up to an orgasm.

The Yawning Position. In this Kama Sutra position the woman on her back, raises and widely spreads her legs as the man eagerly enters her vagina. This position allows the man and woman to share the intimacy of pleasure by gazing into each others eyes. The woman can also caress her breasts adding to the visual stimulation.

Of course, I would love to write that these Kama Sutra positions provide earth-shattering orgasms for everyone. The fact is these positions are truly for athletic and adventurous individuals. That's not to say that a modified version wouldn't benefit everyone, so why not give them a try.
