Village of 100 Married Couples

Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife. Every wife in the village instantly knows when a man other than her husband has cheated, but does not know when her own husband has. The village has a law that does not allow for adultery. Any wife who can prove that her husband is unfaithful must kill him that very day. The women of the village would never disobey this law. One day, the queen of the village visits and annouces that at least one husband has been unfaithful. What happens?

Hired Help

A guy dials his home and a strange woman answers.
The guy says, Who is this?

This is the maid, answers the woman.

We dont have a maid, says the man.

The woman says, I was hired this morning by the lady of the house.

The man says, Well, this is her husband. Is she there?

The woman replies, She is upstairs in the bed room with someone who I figured was her husband.

The guy is fuming and says to the maid, Listen, would you like to make $50,000?

The maid says, What will I have to do?

The man tells her, I want you to get my gun from the desk, and shoot the witch and the jerk shes with.

The maid puts the phone down; the man hears footsteps and then two gun shots.

The maid comes back to the phone, What do I do with the bodies?

The man says, Throw them in the swimming pool.

Puzzled, the maid answers, But you dont have a pool.

A long pause and the man says, Is this 567-5309?

The Riddle

I am your constant companion.
I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden.
I will push you onward or drag you down to failure.
I am completely at your command.
Half the things you do, you might just as well turn over to me,
And I will be able to do them quickly and correctly.
I am easily managed; you must merely be firm with me.
Show me exactly how you want something done, and after a few lessons I will do it automatically.

I am the servant of all great men.
And, alas, of all failures as well.
Those who are great, I have made great.
Those who are failures, I have made failures.
I am not a machine, though I work with all the precision of a machine.
Plus, the intelligence of man.
You may run me for profit, or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me.
Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet.
Be easy with me, and I will destroy you.
Who am I?

The Key to your Success is Desire

Reality forms around your commitment to succeed.
Your desires will in time externalize themselves into concrete fact.

If you’re willing to pay the price, any of your circumstances will change.
If you want something badly enough, you’re sure to get it.

Obstacles don’t matter very much.
Pain or other circumstances can be there.
But, if you want something badly enough, you’ll find a way to get it done.

You only have to love a thing greatly to get it.
Desire is the fire of life.

Keyword Effectiveness Index-KEI

The KEI compares the number of searches for a keyword with the number of search results to pinpoint which keywords are most effective for your SEO campaign.

According to the KEI definition, the best keywords are those that have many searches and that don’t have much competition in the search results.

Suppose the number of searches for a keyword is 600 per month and Google displays 20,000 results for that keyword. Then the ratio between the popularity and competitiveness for that keyword is 600 divided by 20,000. In this case, the KEI 0.03.

When using KEI, keep in mind that KEI is only a basic measurement, whereas tools such as SEO Toolkit also check the other more important criteria, such as intitle, inanchor, Google Page Rank, Alexa Rank, PI Rank and the number of competing PPC ads on both Google and Yahoo.

The followings are summary of WordTracker fields:
No. - The rank of the search term; sorted from the terms that Wordtracker thinks may be most competitive (based on the KEI number) down to the least competitive.

Keyword - The search term.

KEI Analysis - The Keyword Effectiveness Index is one way to consider keyword competitiveness. The KEI compares the Count result with the number of Competing Web pages; the higher the KEI number for the search phrase, the better target the search phrase appears to be. This is a combination of the number of competing pages with the number of searches—the larger the Count the higher the KEI number; the larger the number of Competing pages, the lower the KEI number.

Count - The number of times the search phrase has been used in Wordtracker’s partner search engines.

24 Hours - An estimate of the number of times each day somebody searches this search engine using the search phrase.

Competing - The number of Web pages the search engine says it has in its index that match the search phrase.
