If you have a website, write articles, or want to profit through an affiliate program than this is gold to you! These keywords are the actual top 11 on the internet. Use them and you are on your way to increased traffic, profits and results. Here they are and a little about each to help you on your way.
1) Paris Hilton. Whether we like it or not Paris and her wild lifestyle are here to stay as she is now considered one of the biggest stars. She is sought after by almost every fashion designer and her keywords will do well with any fashion or clothing content.
2) Google. Well, this one is obvious as Google is the largest search engine (regardless what Yahoo says). Being that Google is a search engine it can be used in any content, but works best with relation to websites, search engines, computers and software.
3) Yahoo. The second largest search engine and distant second on Pay per Click campaigns - very, very distant at that. The same will work for Yahoo. Stick with computer related material and you will do well.
4) Ebay. The worlds largest marketplace and auction. Ebay, for the most part is a wholesale marketplace. It is ruled by feedback and can give you a good idea as to the real value of a car (check Ebay motors). On Ebay anything goes including people selling tattoo advertising on themselves. In other words, anything can be linked to Ebay in one way or another. Yes, there is even porn on Ebay.
5)Eminem. Yes, the real slim shady is back. According to R and B and rap he never left as he is the number one rapper currently. If you need content on current music or teen and young adult topics Eminem is sure to bring you visitors.
6) Britney Spears. She was the hottest pinup for teens and preteens, but now she is probably pregnant again. I wonder why Kevin Federline didn't make the list - is it that he isn't a good singer? Britney is great for adolescent or music related content.
7) mapquest. Want to know where something is or how to get there. Being that we are getting closer to summer people are plotting out there vacations. Or, maybe, due to increasing gas prices thanks to George Bush, maybe they are figuring that its too far and will cost too much in gas. I bet if Hillary Clinton were President these gas prices wouldn't be any higher than $1.60 per gallon. These high gas prices have to do with the Bush family and their ties to big oil and energy. See, Mapquest can be linked to just about any content you want if you just try a little.
8) Tsunami. Even though the big one is over. Relief efforts are still in effect and so are the relief efforts for Katrina. Hint - these people still need lots of help. Tsunami is probably a big keyword due to the recent specials on TV about the next possible tsunami that might hit America. People are concerned and interested over these large scale natural disasters. When is the next earthquake going to hit California, will atsunami hit New York, and what will this hurricane season bring?
9) Girls. Yes, of course. There are millions of perverts and closet perverts out there that are a little over-fascinated with girls. As Donald Trump once said, "sex sells." Yes it does and nothing sells better than women or girls. They can sell anything including the worst items in infomercials and complete scams. A beautiful girl just needs to show a little cleavage and TV ratings soar. Just think what girls can do for your content.
10) American Idol. This is the top rated TV show and its in its 5th or 6th season. It has launched one star - Kelly Clarkson and a bunch of duds. Randy, Paula and simon have now become household names along with Ryan Seacrest. Any content you can tie into the current cast will do well. The previous casts should be avoided as they will soon go back to karaoke and such at local bars.
11) Skin care and skin treatment. This has always been a big one with women. It has been rumored that women will go without food before they will go without makeup and such. Just ask any department store how important skin care and skin treatment products are to their bottem line. Watch Shop NBC - almost every product on there has something to do with skin care and skin treatment for women. There are a wide variety of topics you can easily talk about here from the latest in laser therapy at dermatology offices and at home TCA skin peels for treating acne and wrinkles. Acne is and always will be a big topic as will wrinkles and their respective treatments.
There you have it the top 11 keywords on the internet from Paris Hilton to skin care and skin treatment to Google and American Idol. All with tips on how to use them to make your content have more impact and drive more traffic.

Tattoo Design Choice - Part 2
A celtic cross or maybe a cool tribal?
Deciding on what type of tattoo to get is obviously a very important decision right?
There are so many options to choose from but the bottom line is that you should choose something that has significance to you. This may require a lot of thought but it is best to really think about what you want before you have a tattoo done to make sure that you will not regret the tattoo later on.
There are too many options to mention but just a few include religious, tribal, words, cartoons, and just about anything you can think of. You can even get a tattoo that bears a likeness to a loved one. The other options to consider are black and white tattoos or color tattoos. These choices are a matter of personal preference and there are no right or wrong answers.
The most important thing about choosing a tattoo is to choose something that is special to you. That is all that really matters. As long as you like your tattoo, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about it.
Those who are happy with their tattoos and those who feel as though their tattoo has special meaning are much less likely to regret their tattoo.
Choosing black and white or color for your tattoo is another decision you will have to make. Again personal preference is the most important factor.
Your tattoo is a lifelong investment so don't let the price persuade you to pick one over the other. Some tattoos may look better in black and white such as pictures while cartoons may look better in color. Choose what you like best and you are sure to be happy with your decision.
There are so many options to choose from that it may seem overwhelming. Tattoo Me is the best place to start your tattoo design search because we are offering thousands of different tattoos divided into categories that make searching for a design really easy just follow a link back to my site.
They offer a LIFETIME membership so whether you are looking for your first and only tattoo or whether you are always adding new tattoos, you will always have the option of browsing our gallery for the tattoos of your dreams.
Where on your body to place your tattoo? That's what we're going to talk about next time. Look out for Part 3

Tattoo Design Choice - Part 3
Tattoo Design
Where will you place your next tattoo?
Hi there!
Deciding on a location for your tattoo can be as difficult as choosing a design for your tattoo...
One important decision to make is whether you want your tattoo to be visible to the world or in a more intimate location where only you and your beloved will see the tattoo?
The largest organ of the body is the skin so there are certainly a lot of options when deciding where to place your tattoo.
Although tattoos can go just about anywhere, some popular tattoo locations include the bicep, the calf, the ankle, the back, the hip and even the neck and the chest.
For girls some of the most popular tattoo locations include the calf, the hip and the lower back. Most girls opt for smaller tattoos in these locations and in the case of the lower back and the hip the tattoo is not always fully visible.
Guys are more visible by nature so it comes as no surprise that they typically have tattoos in locations that are more visible to other people, like the bicep, shoulder or neck. Does size really matter? Watch out for Part 4

The Tattoo Encyclopedia - Terisa Green
I chose to review this book from my collection first, in relation to the other articles published and purely because it is a fantastic book to begin learning about the vast array of tattoo imagery that plasters tattoo studios. For those that opt for a 'flash' design (i.e. a design that has already been drawn, printed, laminated, sold and displayed for tattooists to use as a means of a ready, 'instant' design that does not necessarily need altering) - this book is a useful tool in helping to choose a design, and even giving a small amount of information about the history, relation and common reason for choosing the particular image etc.
The book has been well laid out, in a handy A-Z format, also cross-referenced, indexed, and illustrated with three hundred examples of tattoo line art. Although the images themselves are not particularly useful towards 'solid' images to be picked for an actual tattoo, either for the consumer or tattooist - they are subtle enough to get a general idea of the design they are representing. And with the added bonus of being able to study this in your own home, it can even help some to feel more confident when they walk into their chosen tattoo studio - having more knowledge and a better idea about the tattoo they are about to choose from the wall.
The Tattoo Encyclopedia is an extremely good reference book - even for looking up information on a tattoo you may already have chosen to live with, but weren't necessarily fully educated on its true meaning and historical links and values. The included examples of tattoo imagery range from the anchors sported by sailors, to the Harley-Davidson tattoos inked on bikers, right up to the tigers that so many people choose to have as their permanent body art. It also includes a welcome range of religious-themed tattoos, which many people do not seem to research properly before choosing as a new piece of ink - including Chinese, Buddhist, Christian and also some tribal and pagan examples.
I bought this book approximately three years ago, purely as a way of helping people to realize what their particular chosen tattoo represents and its links. I was also looking for more material that included some tattoo history write-ups - a 'very brief history of tattooing' is included in this encyclopedia, followed by a small amount on symbolism, which both served well towards my own studies, reports and papers. There is also a small section on 'how to use this book' - with a small 'disclaimer' that I just have to agree with 100% - "It is important to note that the nature of a tattoo symbol is sometimes so personal that the only definitive interpretation can come from the bearer of the tattoo. No matter the established meaning in one culture, the obvious meaning derived from a historical fact, or the original source of a particular image, people will and do ascribe their own meanings to their designs." Which urges you to remember not to take this book as 'gospel', to still withhold your own intended meaning and interpretation of your tattoo, but simply to gain a little more knowledge about your design from this book, and use this knowledge as you so wish. Disregard it, argue against it, completely trash it, or take it as it is; a little piece of information that you may not have known or even considered before. Either way, this book is still worth having, even if just for the coffee-table or as a good conversation starter. Terisa Green writes in a very easy-to-read manner, informative and educational but not too formal. A pleasing read all-round. 'The Tattoo Encyclopedia' - A Guide to Choosing Your Tattoo, by Terisa Green. Illustrated by Greg James. This edition (English) first published in Great Britain by Simon & Schuster UK Ltd, 2003. A Viacom Company. ISBN 0-7432-5226-8 -Tattooed Babydoll Recommended retailers: Available from Amazon and all good UK bookshops, including Waterstone's and Ottakar's. Barnes & Noble, USA also stock this book.

Tattoo Design Choice - Part 4 by Jim Whanarere
A Small or a Big Tattoo?
Hi There!
Does size really matter?
Well, I don't feel like the right person to answer that question :)
But when it comes to tattoos the answer is no.
Well sort of..
It all depends on why you are thinking of getting a small tattoo.
If you are thinking of getting a small tattoo because you aren't positive that you really want a tattoo and think that getting a smaller one will be like testing the waters to see if tattoos are really for you then you should take some more time to think about whether or not to commit to getting a tattoo.
The fact of the matter is that a tattoo of any size is still a lifelong commitment.
A small tattoo may be less noticeable (or not noticeable at all, depending on location) than a larger one but it is still always going to be there no matter how big or small it is.
Large tattoos can be a great idea for a number of reasons. Larger tattoos allow for more detail in the artwork. There is also more opportunity to include color that will really enhance the tattoo. How large you decide to go is up to you. A larger tattoo doesn't have to take up a great deal of surface area but it should be a size that you are happy with.
The back is one area where larger tattoos tend to look better than smaller ones because there is so much area to work with on the back.
Small tattoos can also be very beautiful. Depending on the design and the location you might decide to have your tattoo very small. For example a small flower on you ankle or hip might look really good but going with a larger tattoo in those locations might look awkward and out of place.
What's the cost of a tattoo and is there a connection between cost and quality? Find out in Part 5!
Take care!

How to Get The Perfect Kanji Tattoo You Truly Deserve
Kanji was originated from Chinese Characters.
Kanji is the term for Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese language. There are two different types of characters that are used in written Japanese: kana, which includes the types of writing known as hiragana and katakana, and kanji. All written Japanese evolved from written Chinese, and were modified to create the different sounds of the Japanese language. Kanji in Japanese are typically characters from the Chinese language that have been adapted to mean Japanese words. The meanings in Chinese and Japanese can be the same but pronounced differently, or they may have entirely different meanings. Some kanji were developed in Japan and are not seen in the Chinese language at all. Still other kanji are written in different forms but have the same meaning.
Japanese Kanji Tattoos VS Chinese Symbol Tattoos.
The Kanji Tattoos you have seen in the tattoo parlor or anywhere else are actually Chinese Symbol Tattoos, when you are planning to get a Kanji Tattoo, Choosing Chinese Symbol Tattoos instead of Japanese Kanji Tattoos, Why? Japanese Kanji only have hundreds of writing symbols which evolved from written Chinese Symbols, You can not get whatever you want to express by using Japanese Kanji. Whereas, Chinese Symbols have about 4000 year history and there are 47,035 Chinese symbols in Chinese Kangxi Dictionary. Put it simple, You can get whatever you want to express in Chinese symbols.
My Name is Yingying, I am a Chinese tattoo artist, and have been helping the western people get their Kanji tattoos for three years. Kanji have a complex beauty as well as individual meanings. People who get Kanji tattoos are often drawn to this. Unfortunately, the flip-side is that there are a lot of Kanji tattoo Mistakes. I have personally seen such elementary mistakes as Kanji being tattooed backward and meant something else other than intended. My goal is to help people explore the beauty and complexity of Kanji safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with the professional. Why many western people make mistakes with their kanji tattoos, the main reason is because they made no preparation before inking and just walked into a tattoo parlor without knowing what they would get. And then their Chinese tattoos became the permanent source to embarrass them. Yes, they can get their tattoo removed, but removing unwanted tattoos is a very expensive, lengthy and painful ordeal!
You are wise to research your best possible options before going through with it.
First: you need to find a pro to do the translation, instead of anyone who speaks Chinese. The Chinese symbol (Kanji) has a time span of 4000 years and a geography span across countries like China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It simply takes knowledge and expertise to do the translation well.
Second: the Chinese Symbols need to be custom designed by writing them into Chinese calligraphy. Your body deserves Chinese calligraphy art, NOT kanji writing! Chinese calligraphy is not just Chinese kanji writing, neither just writing well. It is an art that can display spirits. People can feel the mood, feeling, thought from the calligraphy. Having a Chinese calligraphy tattoo is a love and a respect of yourself. Moreover, Custom designed kanji Tattoos also include stencil outline. Most people don't realize that every tattoo design has a matching stencil.
To apply tattoos on the skin, the tattoo artist needs both a good clear reference of the actual design, and well drawn stencils (line drawings) as the "blueprint" for the actual tattoo. When inking, your tattoo artist will use stencil outlines to trace the artwork onto your body. Stencil outlines are vital for inking kanji as it can prevent tattooists from making mistakes while inking.

Tired of That Tattoo? Your Tattoo Removal Options
Tattoos have become extremely common in our society. People from the teenage years to senior citizens now get tattoos. Tattoo studios have proliferated across the country, offering an ever-expanding range of artistic expression on one’s own body. The public has also become more familiar with the possibility of removing an unwanted tattoo, especially with laser tattoo removal. This has fueled parallel growth in the tattoo removal industry.
Tattoo removal has been around almost as long as tattooing. Old methods of removal included surgical excision, sometimes with skin grafting. This is a tried and true method and requires only one treatment. However, the side effect is an unsightly scar, and possibly another scar where a skin graft was obtained. Other older methods of removal included abrasives, such as salt crystal scrubbing just after a tattoo is removed. Dermabrasion is similar, and uses a power sanding device to abrade the skin down to below the tattoo. This can also be effective but may leave a scar, depending on the depth of dermabrasion required. Acids, such as glycolic acid or TCA, have also been used and work by a similar mechanism, through a chemical burn. One method of tattoo removal favored by tattoo artists involves over-tattooing with an acid or saline. This is variably effective and can lead to severe scarring in some cases
Laser tattoo removal was first widely performed with the CO2 laser. This laser works by burning off a superficial layer of skin with each pass. A cloth is used to wipe off the layer, with extra focus on picking out the tattoo pigment fragments. This method fell out of favor due to the superficial scarring that is inherent to how this method and other caustic techniques work. However, a single CO2 laser session may completely remove a tattoo.
Q-switched lasers are currently the state of the art for laser tattoo removal. Q-switching means that a very short, high-energy burst of laser light is directed at the tattoo. It works on the principle of selective photothermolysis. The ink preferentially absorbs the laser light and has to expand, as would any substance does when heated. However, the q-switched burst of light is so rapid that it fractures the tattoo ink instead, much as very cold ice cubes crack when put in a glass of warm water. As the tattoo ink is broken down into finer particles that are small enough for the body’s immune cells to absorb, the tattoo is gradually lightened with each treatment. This process has to be repeated multiple times in order to completely remove a tattoo. Some colors, such as yellow, that do not absorb the laser light well may not be able to be removed. Also, if the ink is too deep in the skin, the light may not penetrate far enough to affect it. Finally, this process depends on a functioning immune system and good lymphatic flow, so impairment of these would probably impair effectiveness.
The Q-switched lasers that have been on the market include the ruby, alexandrite and Nd:YAG. The ruby was the first laser available and has affinity for blue ink but has the disadvantage of a high-degree of melanin absorption. This can lead to burns in darkly-pigmented individuals at higher energies. The alexandrite functions at a slightly longer wavelength and has a greater affinity for green pigment. The Nd:YAG has affinity for black pigment at 1064 nm and the least melanin absorption. It can also be used with frequency doubling to 532 nm in order to treat red pigment. For multicolor tattoos, a combination of different lasers may be necessary for the greatest range of effectiveness
As with any laser, even q-switched lasers can have side effects. The most common are hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation. These improve with time and usually resolve. It is possible to completely remove a tattoo using these lasers without causing any scarring, however one must not be tempted to turn up the laser’s energy excessively. For patrons that have the patience to return for multiple visits, q-switched laser treatment offers the best chance for scar-free complete tattoo removal.
Research in tattoo removal is focusing on alternative inks. Some inks have been micro-encapsulated so that a single laser treatment would completely remove them. Other inks are made to fade over different lengths of time. The latter does not give you the option of keeping the tattoo if you decide that you really like it. Research on new lasers is also ongoing.
