My work

Here some pics from my work and resident.

Every morning I go by bike to work at the finca. We live in top of a quite tall hill, so going to work by bike means speeding.

The dog is mend to protect people. It's about as tall as I am.

Where the mountains rise II

Second day of our trip in the mountains for the counting of wild vultures. This time we stayed on cliffs close to the ocean.

In Mallorca you'll find wild goats everywhere in the mountains, called "Cabras". Also you'll find flowers during autumn. But first and for all you'll see rocks everywhere.

How market your business online

The way I look at things, online marketing means everything to a enormous amount of companies. Online marketing gives businesses the possibility to reach out to a huge amount of potential costumers. Often this is possible at a low cost.

But it's not easy. Choosing the right strategy is important - very important. Let me list some examples:

Should you invest money into a great homepage? Or should you just have a twitter-acount and a Facebook-page? Is it necessary to use ads? And if: where do you have to place your online advertisement? When people think about the internet they often mention Google and focus a lot on Google. But in fact Facebook, twitter and youtube can be of greater importance. If you want to brand a car for example, Facebook and Youtube are perfect places to do so. Google won't do - in my opinion.

If you're more into services, as I am, you might focus more on Google and Twitter. Both platforms offer a lot. You could keep on spending money - wherefore you'll have to focus. What's important to you? Getting a high rank in Google, a lot twitter followers or a lot of online ads around the internet?

If you wanna:

1) Get a high Google ranking: You'll have to do SEO. You might hire an expert, since SEO takes time.

2) Get more followers: You could buy programs or make false accounts - both strategies are disliked by Twitter. I'd advise you to follow back and provide great content.

3) Online ads: Google Adwords is a very powerful tool when it comes to advertisement on the internet. You can place you're ads on homepages all around the world, if that's what you want. But it too can get very expensive.

What Facebook and all other social media on the Internet can offer: You can become friends with potential costumers.

Obama's health care targeted by the republican party

Obama's has been standing for healthcare, an end of the war in Iraq and for green economic growth.

There's been a lot of fighting, healthcare was named "socialistic reform" and the economic crisis is still at a high. But is Obama the one to blame?

3 arguments why he's not:
Healthcare: Obama did what he promised even though even democrats where turning against him. You could call it socialism if you thereby mean the fact that government is now in charge of more than before. But if you compare to other nations around the world, american healthcare is far from public and yet further far away from being socialistic.
War in Iraq: Obama here had to end a war which was against in the first place. He had to clean up the mess. But he knew that himself. But again Obama made an effort to do as he had promised.
Green economic growth: Where to start in a country where GM has been making good cash with 4x4 SUV's? Times have changed. The entire US Industry has been providing a market which in fact was about to die. In addition: empty real estates everywhere across the nation. It takes more than a good president to solve such problems.

Seems to me, the people have been voting for a man whom they believed was superman.

Mr. Obama in trouble

Mr. Obama has to clean up the mess which was produced by foreign president George W. Bush: War in Iraq, economic crisis and climate crisis. Mr. Obama has the will and skills to do so. But people wouldn't let him fulfill his vision of a modern and changed America. So yesterday they voted for the ones that guided them into the war in Iraq, the economic downturn and the climate crisis.

So in other terms: Americans voted for the ones that made all their current problems possible.
