Hondeklipbaai � South Africa�s Forgotten West Coast Village

Anyone that has ever been to South Africa will know that its West Coast is very different to its East Coast. Here the cold Benguela Current has left its mark on the few coastal villages that dot this part of the world. Hondeklipbaai is no different. Situated 112 kilometers from the nearest larger town of springbok, this charming little village offers the tourist a unique experience.

The gravel road from Springbok to Hondeklipbaai is in itself quite scenic as it winds its way through the Namaqua National Park over the sparsely vegetated hills towards the coast. You may just be lucky to see a Klipspringer or Tortoise along the way.

Probably the first thing you will notice as you approach Hondeklipbaai is the wreck of the Jahleel. This diamond gravel boat ran aground in 2003 and lies almost squarely in the middle of the bay around which Hondeklipbaai is situated. The next thing you will notice are the little whitewashed houses which dominate the village.

guest-leave-as-a-friend">accommodation in Hondeklipbaai is currently limited to the Skulpieskraal tented lodge, the Visbeen lodge, and the Honnehok chalets. At the later, the owner has set up a few small wooden cabins with a restaurant and pub. The food served is excellent, with Springbok Stew and the Catch of the Day often featuring on the menu. After dinner you may want to join the other guests in the rustic pub where the owner may entertain everyone with his guitar.

A walk around the little bay is a must for any visitor. Be prepared to be joined by a dozen or more dogs as you make your way towards the rocky beach past the houses. Out of every front yard a dog will come to join you on your walk. On the way back the reverse happens, until you are left with only the one or two dogs from the Honnehok.

Hondeklipbaai boasts two wrecks, which is a testimony to the gale force winds of the Atlantic Ocean. The second wreck is situated slightly south of Hondeklipbaai. The Aristea saw mine sweeping duties during World War Two but was blown onto the rocks in July 1945 with the loss of one life. It is possible to walk around its rusting skeleton and still see its boiler and engine.

On the way back to your guest-leave-as-a-friend">accommodation, stop by at the Hondekip or Dog Stone. This dog shaped stone is where the village got its name from.

If you intend going back to Springbok, try using the gravel road that comes out further south on the N7. The scenery is well worth the additional 20 to 30 kilometers driving.

Best Ways to Use Ghost Written Content

If you are seriously blogging to build your business, brand recognition, or to position yourself as an expert in your field, you should consider getting the assistance of a ghost writer.

The term “ghost writer” is so mysterious that many people tend to shy away from using such a service. Don’t let the term scare you.

A ghost writer is simply a freelance writer. These writers earn money by writing for various individuals or businesses on a contract basis or per assignment. When you buy content from a ghost writer, you own all rights to the text. You can publish the articles under your name.

There are several websites from which you can hire freelance writers: www.guru.com and www.getafreelancer.com are just a couple. Employers offer projects and writers bid on the jobs. They offer secure measures of payment and article receipt that benefit both the employer and the writer.

Most websites that feature freelance writers allow previous employers to leave comments about their satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Reading those comments can help you sift through and weed out ghost writing applicants.

Most of the websites also give writers the opportunity to upload a resume and samples of previous writings or photography. Take a little time to review that information. It will give you a valuable look into the style and experience level of all the writing applicants.

There are several ways you can best use ghost written content. Use the articles you purchase and upload them to an article submission service. Be sure to enter the maximum number of articles allowed so you will reap full benefit of the service. Having someone else write your articles will save you a tremendous amount of time!

In addition, maybe you can make arrangements with your ghost writer to actually upload the content for you as part of the writer’s fee. Always make sure you read the articles and give approval (or instructions for any changes that the writer must make). Make sure your ghost writer understands that the articles may be uploaded only after official approval has been given.

You can also benefit by using ghost written content on your blog. Find a writer with a style you enjoy reading. To reap most benefits from your ghost written articles, post them to Blogomator. At www.Blogomator.com you can upload all your blog content, predetermine when they’ll post and you won’t have to worry about your WordPress blog for a long time!

Not only does Blogomator free up your time, using ghost written material means you have more time to concentrate on your business or cause!

If you will be using material written by several ghost writers, remember to choose writers with similar styles. After all, the articles or blogs they write are helping you to brand yourself or your business. You want to show consistency to build a respectable image.

Here’s another huge benefit of using ghost writers: you can appear to be a professional writer, even if you’ve never written an article yourself. You suddenly have the image as a professional writer and an expert in your field, without spending any time at all writing!

Content from ghost writers can also be used to help bridge the language gap that the Internet helped expose. More and more people all over the world are starting online businesses. Ghost writers can provide website content for the language of your choice. So, you can effectively communicate with everyone in the world!

Don’t shy away from ghost writers just because you’ve never used one in the past. Ghost writers can free up more time for you to enjoy or work on other aspects of your business. You won’t have the worry about grammar or sentence structure, either!

The Ease of Blogging on Vacation

Bloggers know the importance of making regular posts to their WordPress sites. Most experts agree that it takes a minimum of three blog postings per week to be an effective blog writer. Posting at least three articles per week shows that you are a serious professional with expert knowledge in your field that you are willing to share on a regular basis.

Does that mean you can never take a week off (or longer) for vacation again? If you use Blogomator, you can have the best of both worlds – keep your free time plus maintain frequent postings.

There are a couple of ways to use Blogomator to your advantage.

First, you can upload your blog articles before your vacation ever starts. The program allows you to upload articles and schedule exactly when you would like to post them on your WordPress blog.

You could schedule blogs for an entire year or more and your readers would never know you were enjoying time with your family on a cruise!

The other way to fully utilize the Blogomator system is to blog while you are on vacation. You will not need to drag along your laptop or any special equipment!

Because there are no files to download when you use Blogomator, all you need is a computer and an Internet connection. So, whether you are vacationing on a beach along the United States coast or seeing all the sites in Paris, you can write your blog from any computer with an Internet connection.

Jaunt into an Internet café and tell your readers about your vacation as it is happening. Your readers will be impressed to know that even on vacation, you make time to stay in contact with them through your blog site.

Blogomator is very unique in that it requires no special files downloaded onto your own computer. That feature makes blogging truly portable for you! Entering a new blog entry is as easy as logging onto www.Blogomator.com and uploading the file.

You can even choose when you want the file to post. Post blogs on your vacation immediately or set them to post at another time. With Blogomator, you will never need to download updates or install plug ins. You will not even have to do any formatting of your article. It is as simple as writing your thoughts and clicking a button. Blogomator does all the rest for you!

If you happen to write more than one blog, that is not a problem. Blogomator allows you to post articles to one or one hundred blogs. And, with each, you control when your articles are posted!

Another added advantage to the Blogomator program is that if you use the services of a ghost writer, the writer may post your articles on your behalf. That will set you free to concentrate on other aspects of developing your business!

There is no need to look at blogging as a chore any more! Blogomator’s easy to use, common sense approach to posting delivers what every blogger wants: a way to make frequent posts without spending hours each week just to maintain a blog! After all, in most cases, a blog is one aspect of public relations for your business. You will be less likely to maintain an effective blog if it takes up too much of your valuable time!

Blogomator not only increases your writing efficiency by making blog posting easier, the fact that no special files or downloads are required makes the program truly carefree. To take advantage of all that Blogomator has to offer, sign up for the program today at www.Blogomator.com.

Product Review: Perfect Traffic Storm

Perfect Traffic Storm is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test...

My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless--they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.

The Members Area is very well laid out and intuitive--I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads--the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into "Perfect Traffic Storm" links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Perfect Traffic Storm Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way--links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you'll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!


After you've created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Perfect Traffic Storm link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Perfect Traffic Storm link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Perfect Traffic Storm. So if anyone clicks the Perfect Traffic Storm image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It's a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.

Now every time the ad window displays (your Perfect Traffic Storm links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members' links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.

And this works virally--meaning as you make referrals into Perfect Traffic Storm (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Perfect Traffic Storm image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Perfect Traffic Storm also.

I didn't get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated--my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Perfect Traffic Storm even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.

There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all--downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Perfect Traffic Storm really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it's valuable as a user, but no so often that it's a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT's cool.

Overall I have to say I am impressed with Perfect Traffic Storm. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.
