Internet Addiction - Learn How to Connect Without Wireless Connections

Millions of people are addicted to the Internet, and you can count us owners of Article Crux among them. Learn how to combat this modern day addiction by reading today’s great article.

Instant messaging, text messaging, email, blogs, vlogs, and podcasts. With technology moving faster than a T1 connection, every day brings another way to keep in touch without actually having to show up in person.

Because of the obsession, people have become more overweight and relationships of every kind have disintegrated under the spell of computer games and chat rooms.

Restaurant Promotion Story

We like today’s article not so much because it’s packed with info, but because it’s written in a narrative style that’s interesting and entertaining. Here’s an excellent business promotion article for all businessmen and marketers out there.

How the woman with a restaurant promotion strategy came to work in the flagging restaurant of a small rural town is still unclear. Some say the owner contracted her right from the big city, but others say her car simply broke down at the door. One story claims that the owner didn’t even want to hire her at first, that she volunteered to do restaurant promotion if he did, that it had nothing to do with business sense.

As a former army cook, he was used to insults. Provide the juiciest burgers and the coldest beer and they’ll come in droves. At first they did, probably for its novelty, but then they came less and less and about the time she showed up, they were hardly coming at all.

She changed all that.

Costly Tax Preparation Mistakes

Tax time is just around the corner, are you ready for it? We know you’ll be needing all the tax help you can get, and that’s why we picked this article about costly tax return preparation errors.

April is a dreaded month for many people, all because it’s tax month. Many people cram their tax return preparation, and this can result in many costly errors. In this article we take a look at some of the tax mistakes that millions of people commit. Avoid them, and you ensure yourself of a more peaceful tax month. You also get to save cash!

Typographical errors — Misspellings (such as in social security numbers) will cause delays in processing your tax return. It’s more deadly when you transpose digits when writing cash amounts (e.g. writing $42,903 instead of $42,093). You can lose cash or earn the ire of the IRS with this kind of mistake.

Math errors — According to the IRS, basic arithmetic errors rank as the number one mistake of taxpayers. Sometimes, these errors just involve simple addition and subtraction! A great way to avoid math errors is by using tax preparation software.

Warning! Your Website Domain Can Be Taken

Glenn Heitkoetter’s article on domain names is an imperative read for any webmaster and internet marketer, and that includes us here in Article Crux. And that’s why we liked this article so much.

There are some basic measures I did not know about until recently and had to make some changes. Some call this domain hijacking and can be a mess to try to get it back. A domain can be taken if it is not locked.

You must go into your control panel of your website to find the domain locking area. If it cannot be found you must contact your support. When your domain is locked, you’ll be substantially protected from unauthorized third parties who might try to misdirect your name servers or transfer your domain without your permission.

Overlooking domain names is icann.org and the rules of this are there. The FAQ section has a good start with internal links about transfers. They have the updated legal and technical requirements about transfer notification requirements and times.
