| Real Madrid retain Cristiano Ronaldo hope | | 2008-08-03 06:59:00 | | Ramon Calderon, the Real Madrid president, has not given up hope of signing Cristiano Ronaldo this summer, and says he is biding his time while Manchester United and the player resolve their "argument".Ronaldo has made no secret of his desire to join Real Madrid and even likened his situation at Old Trafford to that of a slave in a recent television interview after suggesting that United were holding him against his wishes.Sir Alex Ferguson has continually criticised Real's pursuit of the player and United have even reported the matter to Fifa however, Calderon insists his club are little more than spectators."Look, this is a problem that wasn't created by Real Madrid," he said. "Madrid are just spectators in this soap opera. At the moment Manchester United and the player are in an argument and Madrid are waiting...and we can't do any more for the time being."Obviously, it's clear that we want Cristiano with the quality that he has.

| Can Manchester United Retain Their Superiority? | | 2008-05-17 00:12:46 | | Last Saturday, Manchester United pipped Chelsea to clinch their 17th Premier League title with a 2-0 victory at Wigan. Chelsea let themselves down in a 1-1 draw with Bolton, adding more cheer for the Red Devils as they are seen as legitimate winners, in the sense that goal difference was not the decisive factor.

| | How To Retain First Time Visitors To Your Website | | 2007-10-18 07:44:20 | | Everyone is trying to rank well in search engines so as to enjoy good amount of free traffic every month. But if you look at the server statistics carefully, you will notice that most people leave almost immediately upon entering the site. You cannot complain about your sales because the fact is that people in general do not like to stay in any sites for long. Remove The Clutter The basic rule in creating websites nowadays is to have as much content as possible so as to please the search engines. However, cramming too much content in a page without good techniques can scare your visitors away. This is also the common problem of most websites today. Research shows that people do not generally stay in a site for more than 30 secs but my personal experience tells me that it is 10 secs. The implication to this is that you only have 10 secs to pitch your idea and persuade them to stay. Reveal Some But Do Not Reveal All An effective website must achieve 2 things within the 10 secs.A) The user must know what your site is about.B) The user must be motivated to stay and investigate further. To achieve A) cannot be done by lengthy stories. People are lazy and they do not like to read or scroll. So there must be an obvious sentence, catch phrase or graphic to tell them what your site is about. Once they are interested in your pitch, they will start reading the content. For the content, I would suggest you to write just enough to arouse interest. If all your stories are told within a page, then they do not need to navigate your site anymore. This is similiar to watching movie previews. The preview has to excite the audience to pay and watch the full movie. If you can achieve B) you have a chance to make them stay and click on your links. Guide The Eye To Important Content People first look at the largest and boldest element on a page which is usually the logo, top banner or catch phrase as mentioned earlier. You should next direct the eye to the content. Text with highlighted headers can stand out prominently. The common technique to make a header obvious is to highlight the background of the header using a dark color and write the header text in white. Many popular portals such as msn and bbc are using this technique. White background on dark text is most effective for the main content because it has a very good contrast. Be Careful About Distractions Remember the 10 secs rule. You do not want to distract your visitors within this time frame. Though advertisements are commonly used for marketing purposes, they are considered as distractions. Animated gifs is another type of distraction which can be very annoying. In fact, I do not encourage people to use animated gifs at all! If you really want animation, do a good job with flash instead. Unless your site is like Yahoo or Google, people will not bother to stay long if they are confused about what you are saying. Use Images Playing around with colours and layout in your site is not enough. You need identifiable graphics such as humans and objects to make your visitors feel comfortable. Many people are very scared of using graphics because they are worried about the downloading time. Valid point but you do not have to use big images. Images that are about 10 kb in size is a good guide. To me, making your visitors happier by making them wait a few mili seconds longer is a good deal. Quality images that describe your content are very effective. It also makes your site less boring and create visual stops for your content. Conclusion People are impatient and you really have a short time to make them stay longer in your site. The longer they stay, the higher the chance that they will buy your idea and use your services. The first impression is important and we all want it to be good. | | By: Various Ways to Earn Money Online | | |

| | UFC 73: Silva, Sherk Retain Titles | | 2007-07-08 17:35:00 | | UFC 73 Stacked certainly had its ups and downs. Labeled "best card in the history of combat sports," it failed to deliver what most fans anticipated so greatly and failed to fulfill the hype that was built around it.The event took place Saturday, July 7, 2007 at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California and had been regarded as UFC's most "stacked" card to date, no pun intended. The cards featured two title fights, one with UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and the other with lightweight champion Sean Sherk, both crowned at UFC 64. Last night, they defended their titles against former King of Pancrase Nathan Marquardt and former WEC champion Hermes Franca, respectively. Former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, also seen by many to be the #2 HW in the world, made his UFC debut against Heath Herring, whom he had already defeated twice before in PRIDE.
