			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maybe I have not been watching closely enough lately, but just yesterday I ran across Google Offers, a new Google service.  Google offers is hard to define as a tool, since you do not really do any creation or work with it, but it does cut down on your need to search.</p>
<p>Google offers provides you with an easy way to learn about special offers in your city, state, and country.  The service is not rolled out in all communities, yet.  I tried to subscribe based upon Wichita, Kansas and was told the service is not live in Wichita yet, but I will receive national offers.</p>
<p>To this observer Google Offers appears to be another brilliant marketing ploy by Google, but is a useful research tool for us.  Google has found a unique way to offer their advertising services to a broader market and to target individuals based upon demographics and geographic location.  As this new service matures and expands it will be interesting to watch how many local and national retail stores, restaurants, and service providers start listing their special offers on Google Offers.  The odds are high it will be many.</p>
<p>If you are always seeking out discounts you should take a look at Google Offers.  If you are a business owner or online marketer you better take some time to check out the service, too.  This could be your next hot avenue for increasing sales.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the keys to looking better when you lose weight is to redefine your body not just losing weight.  If you only diet to lose fat you will probably be very disappointed with the final results of your efforts.</p>
<p>In most cases, when you just diet and lose fat you end up with a body which is just a smaller version of  your fat self.  It does not change your overall appearance except to make you smaller.  On the other hand, when you follow a system which is designed to redefine your body the changes can be dramatic.</p>
<p>The Body for Life system has been around since 1999 and is just as effective and cutting edge today as it was then.  The system is a 12-week program which uses strength training, aerobics, and common sense eating to change your body.  If you do a little research you can find hundreds of before and after pictures of people who have used the system.  Their transformations are amazing.</p>
<p>I have used the Body for Life system several times and have always found it to be highly effective.  It was one of the keys to me being able to lose a large amount of weight, get my blood pressure under control,  and get tremendously fit.  I did not attempt to build large muscles, but was more focused on getting fit, strong, and lean.</p>
<p>Using the Body for Life system paired with a few other ideas has helped me go from over 285 pounds at my highest blubbery weight, down to my current 170 pounds.  If I can do it, so can you.  Just remember, no one is going to claim the program is easy, because it is not.  It takes commitment, determination, and desire.  Luckily Bill supplies methods for building those traits in the book, too.</p>
<p>If you have never heard of Body for Life or want to read the entire method you can grab a copy on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0060193395/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=revithefact-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=0060193395">Amazon by clicking here.</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What exactly is Review the Facts? Is it a blog about only the facts or is it really my rants and opinions about a wide variety of topics?</p>
<p>When reality sets in the blog is the facts as I see them.  As you are probably aware if 10 people see a car accident from different angles they will give you 10 different stories which could place the blame in many different ways.  Facts, unless scientifically tested repeatedly, are really just someone&#8217;s observations and beliefs. This is my facts, my opinions, my beliefs, and the way I see reality wrapped around these topics.</p>
<h2>Should You Review the Facts About Everything You Do?</h2>
<p>Are my opinions any better than yours?  Only in those situations where I have real first hand knowledge compared to your untested opinions.  As a great example, I enjoy using Microsoft&#8217;s Live Writer for some of my blogs.  It gives me greater control and simplicity in creating tables, using images, and control of fonts than trying to do it with HTML within the standard WordPress editor.  For me the facts are simple.  Live Writer works great.  You might despise the idea of using the program because of a bias against Microsoft or a core love of HTML code.  If you have not tried Live Writer your opinions are untested.  They might be correct for you, but they are untested.</p>
<p>I will review the facts the way I want and let the chips fall where they may.  The important thing is you should do the same.  Always review your own facts and then make decisions which will improve your life.  That is the real road to&#8230;.oh, who knows where it is going to take you, but it will be a lot better destination than one without testing the facts.</p>
<p>Consider every fact your read on this website as my opinion and feel free to disagree with me on any and all points, it never hurts you to be wrong.  Let&#8217;s get busy and review the facts through my eyes and let you form your own opinions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of my work with CustomerExplosion, my <a href="http://www.customerexplosion.com">Oklahoma City SEO</a> company, it is important to evaluate tools clients can use to simplify work on their own blogs.</p>
<p>I have never tried Windows Live Writer before, so today is a good time to give it a try.  One of the driving reasons for giving it a test is tables.  While it is possible to create tables using HTML code in your WordPress posts, it is not something the average small business owner wishes to learn and spend time with.</p>
<p>Inserting a simple table using Live Writer appears to be one of the easiest options available.  The only item you must do ahead of time is turning on your remote editing within the Writing Settings of your WordPress Blog, specifically the XML-RPC setting.</p>
<p>Once you have done this, you can step through adding your blog to Live Writer, and get an easy to use editor for your blog.  By going under the Insert tab in Live Writer you can add a simple table as you see below:</p>
<table width="400" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="center">Company Sales</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="center">Cost of Sales</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="center">Profits</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="right">$1,000,000.00</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="right">$1.00</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="right">$999,999.00</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="right">$1.00</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="right">$0.01</p>
</td>
<td valign="top" width="133">
<p align="right">$0.99</p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>If you need tables in your WordPress Blogs, give LiveWriter a try.  You will find this free download from Microsoft a great time saver.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.reviewthefacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/SEOGrowth.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57" title="SEO Growth" src="http://www.reviewthefacts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/SEOGrowth.png" alt="" width="350" height="319" /></a>One of the surprising things about working with CustomerExplosion, my <a href="http://customerexplosion.com">Oklahoma City SEO</a> firm, is discovering how many people do not understand the need for optimizing their sites to rank highly on Google.</p>
<p>It is not a matter of making your content stuffed with keywords, but a matter of using common sense to include your keywords naturally within your content.  A little bit of effort can go a long way.</p>
<p>If you take just a few moments to include any phrases you wish to target in the title, your first paragraph, and your  last paragraph, you will be far ahead of the average webmaster.</p>
<p>This is especially true in local SEO efforts.  James and I discover in our <a href="http://customerexplosion.com">Oklahoma SEO</a> business most business owners do not pay attention to these small details.  It makes perfect sense.  They are busy taking care of their business, serving customers, and creating value.  They do not have time to focus on these minor details.</p>
<p>We step in and help them by designing a plan for their websites to help them reach the front page of Google within a few short months.  It brings them added leads, additional sales, and higher profits.  A great return on investment.</p>
