Veretekk 2.0 - Leslie Jolliff

I thought that I would spend the next couple of days sharing about what to do and expect when a new kitten comes home. These are little things but when you think about it, they make a lot of sense. If you are unable to work at home and watch your kitten from the start, here are a few quick tips.

Make sure to keep the kitten on the same kitten food that your baby has been eating. With all of the excitement that your new little one will be going through, changing his or her food to start with will cause the kitten to have a bad case of diarrhea. More important, kitten do not weigh a lot when they are 10 - 12 weeks old. Russian Blues will weigh about 2 - 2.5 pounds. Now, if your kitten has diarrhea, they can lose a high percentage of their body weigh in a single day. Make sure if this happens, you call the person you received your kitten from immediately. They know the kitten and will know what to do.

Ask the person you are receiving your kitten from about the type of water your kitten is drinking. Is it city water, well water or bottled water. It is as important as the kittens food for the same reasons.

Did you ever think about where a kitten knows how to climb your stairs or were they raised in a single story home. This is something you really need to know. A kitten that does not have a concept of height needs to be taught if your home has stairs. Place the kitten on a step and then left them off the side (if possible) and lower them to the floor. Do this several times. Russian Blues are very smart, they will learn fast.

Thought for tonight. Kittens are like a three year old. Just sit on the floor and watch them. You will see. A three year old it is. No preconceived notions, just pure energy and joy.

Welcome to Leslie Jolliff's Russian Blue Blog

July 10, 2008 - 6:28 pm

Hi, I am Leslie Jolliff and welcome to my blog.� I would love to talk about my great world here in east Texas with my Russian Blues. ��Around a dozen years ago my daughter Shannon and I�started raising Russian Blue Cats as a hobby. �I needed to find a way to be a work at home mom during the day and a college student at night. �This was a great way to watch Shannon grow up. �One of the jokes here is that we bridged the teenage gap by cleaning and caring for our Russian Blues. �Who can�t argue over washing litterboxes. �It just doesn't work.

I know that there are many books out on the care of cats and kittens. �All of these books were written by someone who had a cat or was breeding cats or did research on cats. �But, let me tell you there no better life experience than that of giving up your home, life and love over to your Russian Blues. �Anyone who has ever owned a Russian will tell you that there just is no other breed to have after you have been owned by a Russian Blue.

I want to used this blog to teach both the young and old alike what the love for this breed means to me and what it can mean to them. �I once was going to write a book. �I was told that all of the examples that were given had to be proved three times. �I will tell you this up front, if I think that there is a hazard �to any of our loved ones, Russian or not, I will tell you without waiting on a second or third little one being harmed. �An example of this is simple. �When you buy new cloth toys, place the toy under running water and make sure that the dye does not run off into the water. �Our friend lost two of her Russian Blues who put their toy in their water bowl and then drank the blue dyed water. �They died within 72 hours. �I do not feel that we need to lose another loved one before I share this information.

Also, I am a little different in that I use the terms moms, dads and babies. �That is just what they are to me. �We are a family and anyone who has a Russian Blue will tell you, they are the head of your household. �If you don't believe me, when was the last time you picked your battle and your Russian won. �You know what I mean. �When you got your kitten you said "The kitten is not getting up on the kitchen cabinets.". �For most, that battle started as a good try on your part but in the end, you gave in and your babies favorite place to sit and watch you cook dinner is up on top of your kitchen cabinet next to the microwave. �Never fear, when it came to things that actually mattered in the long run and would have harmed your baby, you stood fast and you won that one. �We choose our battles and do win when it really matters.

As time goes on, I hope to help those who have Russian Blues and other breeds learn a little and laugh a lot. �Thought for today, if you are having a bad day, sit down, take a breathe and watch a kitten. �What ills you will melt away. Promise.

Smiles, Leslie

No where else will you find "real" leading edge marketing technology like you will receive from Veretekk services. Traffic Portal marketing is one such innovation. People have become desensitized to the massive amount of bulk email and spam that finds it's way to their mailbox each day. After all, who cares if you have 1 million email addresses, if none of the recipients will ever read anything you send to them!

So how are Traffic Portals different? Simple - because at the heart of it, Traffic Portals allow you to offer something of real value to a prospect. This then allows for an increased level of communication between you and that prospect - setting you further and further apart from the masses of bulk email they receive. Your ability to offer more and more of these valuable services to the prospect continues to widen the gap so that eventually you develop a very strong sphere of influence.

Veretekk has developed a large flotilla of unique, valuable, web based services on a large array of subjects and domains. Each Traffic Portal is equipped with it's own set of automated advertising and marketing tools, and the leads they generate are easily managed with Veretekk's intuitive Lead Management system.

But, it is the viral nature and potential of Traffic Portals that will allow you to truly explode your business. Traffic Portals are designed so that they are not only valuable to your prospect in a direct way... they compel them to use the service in such a way that they are effetively promoting your Traffic Portals for you! Imagine 1,000s of people attracted to you through these Traffic Portals... for the direct value potential... but also for the value they perceive in actually promoting your services to other people. This allows you to turn 1,000s of prospects into promoters for you!

The quality of the leads these Traffic Portals produce is also unique. You are not sharing them with anyone else. No other solution comes close to the value, service and price Veretekk delivers. If you're serious about building a successful online business, your first priority is an Veretekk subscription. Unfair Advantage? There is nothing unfair about taking your time and doing it right. You have to experience it yourself! Give Veretekk a test drive today! It is absolutely free. No obligations whatsoever.

Veretekk was an early pioneer of search engine optimization (SEO) systems, deploying a range of tools beginning in the mid-1990's that allowed subscribers to generate massive backlinks to their webpages and quickly increase their search engine results page (SERP) rankings. Of course Google wasn't even around back then, and thus a great deal has changed in the world of SEO!

Professional SEO experts know that ultimately you can't trick the system! Black hat techniques are risky at best, and search engine spamming will get you banned more effectively than it will increase your ranking. There are a number of proven techniques (even recommended by Google itself) that true professionals are aware of and focus their activities around which will produce good results through consistent effort over time.

That said... Veretekk's Market Manager will greatly streamline your SEO efforts and amplify their effect! The system allows you to leverage the power of around 100 separate high value domains, producing massive (quality!) backlinks to help your PageRank, but also instant and effortless configuration of webpage attributes (title, meta tags, etc.) and massive link swarming tools that daisy chain your portfolio of SEO assets in an optimized way.

Search engine spiders gobble it up! Using the Market Manager, it's not unusual to obtain very high search engine rankings in a matter of hours for well selected keywords. This, the result of a sophisticated web of syndicated pages, each publishing RSS feeds that you control and have easily optimized to maximum effect for the keywords you are targeting. Blog templates allow you to further leverage the system and expand the reach of your feeds out on to as many additional websites and domains you may also own.

Plus the system is packed with other value added SEO tools. The Page Maker function allows you to establish a literally unlimited arsenal of keyword targeted pages for each of your SEO campaigns. The SEO Drill lets you systematically place thousands of keyword rich backlinks into authority site domains. Plus website redirection tools for controlling traffic flow... You won't believe the power of this system!

Veretekk 2.0 is "the social system" for professional online marketers. As such, it's designed to maximize the community experience and benefits each member receives from being part of it. Veretekk attracts business people of all backgrounds... from the work at home Mom that just started a new business to the seasoned advertising executive. That's because the power and effectiveness of the system is surpassed only by it's ease of use.

Sharing between members has a profound effect. After over 15 years in business, Veretekk has an extremely loyal worldwide customer base that benefits every new member through the wealth of knowledge, feedback, marketing tips, and advice generated by the community. The various social tools built into the community (i.e. Friends, Groups, Videos, Credentials, Walls, etc.) help to leverage the massive knowledge bank represented by Veretekk's subscribers so that each new member can soak up the valuable information at their own rate. But Veretekk is much more than an isolated community...

Veretekk allows you to manage and control ALL of you other various social systems from one place! That's because a wide range (and ever increasing) collection of features are embedded throughout the system that allows for instant publishing to your other social accounts like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn, and so on. Push button publishing to all other systems allows members to use Veretekk as their central command center for all of their online marketing efforts! Whether it's direct marketing, search engine optimization, lead generation, product branding, or anything else... Veretekk's social integration technology allows you to harness the power of social networking in today's world.

Explode your business with viral growth! Beyond the direct effects of these social tools, the seamless integration with systems like Facebook allow you (and your customers) to share and spread the word about your business, promotions, products, etc. at lightening speed! Veretekk lets you take advantage of the social phenomenons occurring through advancements in systems like Facebook, but at the same time control and track everything specifically from a professional marketer's point of view!

"Evaluation" is the key to consistent improvement and results. Most people recognize that it does no good to generate thousands of leads if your inadvertently running them right off the cliff! Likewise, there's no better way to squander your marketing efforts than not occasionally stopping to evaluate what's working and what's not. Even if your overall end result is good... it can usually be a lot better if you simply make some minor adjustments to further optimize your campaign.

That's where VereTracking comes in... Long before Google Analytics, Veretekk created a very simple but effective visitor tracking bug that is inserted into all of your various traffic portals and webpages. This simple mechanism allows you to closely evaluate the results of your marketing campaigns. What worked? What didn't? Where is the real traffic coming from and what should you focus on to generate even more?

The Code Tracker system takes it a step further... and allows you to place a small snippet of code pretty much anywhere you want - your own websites, into marketing emails, etc. and funnel the statistics all back to your VereTracking system for analysis. Unlike more robust and heavier systems, the VereTracking code does not delay page load time or otherwise interrupt the functionality on your sites.

The possibilities are endless. Veretekk's web analytics technology is designed to be very simple, yet powerful. This also makes it extremely portable for use in pretty much any application you can imagine. While it's embedded as part of your Veretekk portals and websites, by using it in other systems and services outside of Veretekk you're able to manage the results of everything you do... all from one place!

Detailed statistics reveal all... Veretracking includes all of the key vital stats you need - referring page, visitor's IP address, date and time of the visit, etc... and none of the "fluff" that just gets in your way. Cut through all of the secondary factors and focus on what matters... getting more customers and growing your business!

You are NEVER alone at Veretekk! This thriving community of professional online marketers includes a never ending pool of resources that stands ready and able to assist you. Whether you have a general marketing question or something more specific, you'll find no shortage of "real people" available 24 hours and day, 7 days a week to help you out. Why? Because Veretekk is the real deal. And that attracts serious minded professionals.

Customer support is #1. That's why Veretekk offers multiple ways to get you the help you need... whenever you need it. Center stage to assist you is the Support Wall where posts are often responded to in seconds. If there are any temporary system issues, you can quickly find out all about it as well. Veretekk also offers Skype support for the same purposes.

Live web training conferences! Veretekk goes way beyond just offering customer support. There are up to 100 professional VereTrainers from around the world that offer live training for virtually every aspect of online marketing! Events are easily identified through the calendars at the bottom of this page, and even include events open to the public!

The VereConference rooms are built to impress... And based on member feedback, they do just that! Each state of the art conference room features live VoIP voice communication, text chat, whiteboard illustration, screen casting, synchronized browsing, and more... All of this, developed for the express purpose of sharing valued professional marketing information amongst members.

Members helping members... This is what really sets the Veretekk community apart from anything else online. Legitimate marketing pros know that they can expand their success by networking with other marketers, sharing techniques, and hearing about other people's results... not isolating themselves in an attempt to hold on to their "secrets". Thus unlike other simplistic systems, people come to Veretekk to share and to learn! The community support this fosters is truly unrivaled.

Veretekk is all about "Spam free" marketing. For years as other systems used a single email verification process, Veretekk went further to employ a double-opt in model that prevented 100% of false submissions from ever getting on a member's email list. Furthermore, Veretekk is the only provider of permission based email marketing services that provides the public a simple email lookup tool that lists the date/time and IP address of each submission to the system from that account... along with local and global opt-out functions to prevent abuse.

We take ethial online marketing seriously... Veretekk's terms of service include strict anti-spam requirements. No one likes receiving unsolicited email. Plus, from a marketing perspective... untargeted bulk email blasting simply doesn't work! For those looking for that type of system, we encourage you to engage in the Veretekk community and you will find out about a wide range of other techniques that no only respect people's privacy, but actually produce successful results for your business!

VereMail verification systems. There are, however, a range of applications for which bulk emailing still applies. For example, uploading an email list of your existing customers (that have already granted permission to receive your email), or simply sending out your company newsletter to people that have signed up to receive it. Veretekk provides a full featured email publishing system, including an intuitive HTML editor for designing professional email templates. Each email you send out also gets published on its own URL, which can be used for SEO campaigns or simply archive purposes.

Create your own signup forms! With Veretekk's portable group form code, you can quickly and easily place code into your own websites, allowing visitors to signup for more information, request your newsletter, etc. When they do, the verification system will email them and when they click the link, they are added to your lead database and available throughout the rest of the system for use with any of the Lead Management tools.

Web hosts are all the same... When it comes to web hosting... the service has become a true commodity... meaning, pretty much all web reputable hosting services are the same. There may be small differences in the options and functionality available to you based on the management software each service makes available to you... and some hosts bundle other functions like domain registration and/or simple website templates... but when it comes down to it the main difference between web hosts is just price.

VereHosting is truly unique! You get all the same domain management tools as anywhere else, but Veretekk includes a number of value added features as part of the package. For example, the ability to create webpages on 12 additional aged domains that provide a big SEO advantage! Plus highly differentiated plugins you won't find anywhere else... beyond Fantastico for WordPress blogs, phpBB forums, Drupal systems, etc. you get the integrated VerePress feed publishing system, Veretekk phpBB system, and more!

Green is the future! Veretekk's servers are housed in a completely green and secure facility. The entire company is built upon the focus of a very small footprint on this earth. Our data center is 100% off the grid running entirely on wind energy and geothermal heating and cooling. We also take security very seriously when it comes to hosting services and have developed many unique server MODs to prevent hacking and injection phishing sites. The server farm is fully secured including constant 24/7 monitoring to assure you that your websites are in good hands with Veretekk.

But perhaps the greatest benefit of all is the Veretekk community itself. Unlike any other web host, with Veretekk there is a huge community of other members that can help you with most any question related to hosting. Whether you simply need to set up a new domain, or have a more advanced question about how to make a cron script run... or get your VereBlog feed posting into your phpBB forums... there are many others that have already walked those steps and can help out. Just imagine a virtually limitless pool of resources to answer your hosting questions... and you'll begin to understand how VereHosting is different!
