Like millions of people all over the world I have a teenage daughter. She will be twenty soon, but I see little relief of those terrible hormones calming down. It all started when she was around twelve years old. One day I woke up to a child who I didn't understand. The more I tried, the more she resisted. I went from wonderful mommy to "I hate you" in just a blink of an eye. No more were the days of pink hair bows, frilly skirts, and princess crowns. They were exchanged with "don't tell me what to do, you don't know anything and the famous I hate you." For years I told myself don't let it get to you. All teenagers hate their parents. It's normal for them to form their own ideas. They have to get to know their own likes and dislikes.

She needs to become her own person. I kept rehearsing those and many more thoughts through my mind every time she would have one of her moments. I told myself be patient this shall pass. Its a normal stage in the progression of life. I even started to use some witty comebacks. Like "you think you hate me now, but wait until you need something later. Then I'll become wonderful to you again." I tried humor, ignoring, and taking away priviledges. Nothing worked and seemed to make her even more determined. In desperation I reached out to other moms who had teenagers or who had gone through the teenage years. I never really got any tried and true advice. Just the usually good luck. You'll make it through. I'd rather have 5 boys, then 1 girl. Nothing that gave me any promise or hope. Then one day when she was around 16 I realized how much I missed the little girl who wore the pink hair bows. She loved her pinkness and frillyness. She loved to tell me everything. She was so animated when she talked and so happy about life. She used to love to watch old movies with me.

Then later while she showered you could hear her singing showtunes as loudly as she could. She could make any moment great. She was funny and loving. I missed those days and I missed the way she used to be. So much that I was forming an ache in my heart. I didn't understand how she could be so cruel one minute. Then 5 minutes later come tell me a funny story about school that day. As if the cruelness was just an imagined moment that was never a reality. As a mother I learned to let it go. Trying not to dwell on the ugliness. Cherishing the moments of peace. The brief moments of mother daughter kinship that had been left in the past. Hanging on to every good memory I could make. Something I could remember years from now with a smile. Yes, we had some good moments. Some memories we've shared.

Getting her ready for High School dances, watching her cheer at basketball games. She still has an openness about her. She shares her sadness with me, her happiness. She shares news about her boyfriend, job, and friends. What she did last night and what she wants to do tomorrow. I've come to realize the little girl with pink hair bows will never come back. She has turned into a young woman who I am still learning to like, but will always love. She is needing me less and less everyday as a mom and more and more everyday as a friend. An idea I still find hard to except. The ache is still there in my heart and it maybe for sometime.

She is my daughter and my pride and joy. I will cherish what ever she is willing to give. Making what moments I can, count. Someday soon she will be on her own. She will make her own way in the world. Her own home and family. She will hear her daughter say "I hate you' and she will feel the ache for the first time. Then she will know how much she is truly loved. She will know how far and deep and wide the love of a mother reaches. She will have learned how to love her child unconditionally. That is when we will both know the journey was worth it.

Getting traffic to your website is no easy task. This is true especially when lack of experience holds most of us back from obtaining our true Internet marketing goals for making money online through a successful Internet business. Article marketing is a proven method for creating large amounts of traffic to a website or blog and creating long-term and gradual increased website rankings through organic search engine marketing. In other words, Search Engines, readers and website publishers all LOVE articles, so if you can provide for all three of these entities, then you have a literal gold mine at your finger tips.

So what are some great tips for article marketing and website promotion that most people miss out on? Below are a few highly practical and highly effective article marketing and web promotion tips to create tons more traffic, sales and conversions.

1. Write, write, WRITE! All too often Internet marketers will create a bunch of 5 minute websites, write 1 article and submit it to a few different places. They then get a decent amount of traffic, then get lazy and quit. This is great if you are looking for short-term results, but if you are looking for success over the long-haul, then you need to consistently write, write, write! Don't stop at one or two articles. If you are serious about creating long-term success and wealth online, then you shouldn't ever stop promoting. It is often said the most give up when they are only a few inches away from success and really, that is the only difference between you and your competition.

2. Write, but write quality information to solve a dilemma. Don't write just for the sake of writing. Put a lot of thought in every article and use the keywords you want to rank highly for. Nobody wants to read junk, so make sure what you write is actually worth reading, or it won't be read. Writing to solve a problem is by far the most effective way to get a hungry audience online.

3. Your title should say exactly what it needs to say. Make sure your article title not only catches the attention of a potential reader, but also contains all the appropriate key words and phrases you want to be associated with in the search engines.

4. Make sure that the links in your resource box make your article worth while. Think about where you are sending your readers. Are you using anchor text? Are you using an auto responder on your landing page? Are you providing your readers with a great place to go after they read your article? These are all very important questions to ask yourself before publishing your article to various places.

5. Submit, change, submit. Every so often, I use a method of writing my article, submitting it to a few websites, then I alter my article, then I submit some more and repeat. This helps make my content a little more visible on the search engines by providing a larger amount of unique content. Article submission websites appreciate this and the search engines will too. It may take a little longer to do, but who said this was going to be easy.

6. A great way to change up article submission is to manually submit your articles half of the time, then use a paid submission service to do it the other half. This ensures a wide range of website you are submitting to as well as makes sure your articles are getting to where they need to be. Consider doing this as part of your article marketing strategy.

7. Make your readers happy, offer something free in the resource box! This is a great way for an article marketer to get traffic to their website and become memorable by giving something away completely free. Do your readers a favor and do so.

These are great ways to not only help you, but give your readers, the search engines, the article websites and web publishers great content that benefits everyone.
