Portland to Halifax

July 2nd, 2008

Moving from Portland, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia

So you’re planning on a residential relocation to Canada, eh?

Moving from Maine to Nova Scotia is a big change. It’s a change in scenery, a change in your daily lifestyle (any residential relocation is) and more importantly it is a big change in culture.

There are many reasons a USA citizen may consider a residential relocation to Canada. Whether it be something that is legal in Canada that is not (yet) legal in the USA, or it be an employment related residential relocation… you won’t be disappointed with your new home.

At the same time, you may find yourself missing friends and family, so before moving you may want to stock up on prepaid phone cards. (Nobody likes an international collect call!)

A residential relocation can require a lot of preparation, and should never be attempted spontaneously. Planning ahead can save you time, energy, and money. Using a full service moving company can relieve you of a majority of the stress related to a residential relocation.

Relocating internationally, even if only from Maine to Canada, requires even more preparation. You will need to apply for a passport and a visa, because even though it can be hard to see it this way sometimes… Canada is a different country and even a USA citizen would be considered an immigrant if you plan on residing in Nova Scotia.

Visit your local customs office for more information on the documentation you will need to become an official Canadian citizen.

Culturally, there are some tips that will come in handy once you have settled into your Canadian residence and are attempting to befriend your new neighbors. The culture is slightly different than what you are used to.

In Maine, “Wicked” is a very commonly used word. Anything can be described using this word, from the weather to a witch from the East.

Once in Nova Scotia, you will fit in better (and stand out as a USA citizen trying to be Canadian) if you drop “wicked” and rephrase every statement in the form of a question, eh?

Surprisingly, many of the Maine stereotypes and Canadian stereotypes fit together well enough that there might not be that much of a cultural change with your residential relocation from Portland to Halifax. You can still (supposedly) be a flannel wearing bear hunter, and you can still (typically) see at least one moose on a daily basis.

All in all, the hardest part of moving from Portland, Maine to Halifax, Nova Scotia is the actual move and citizenship changes that will be made. Everything else is surprisingly easy.

Once you get used to using the metric system (speed limit signs may read 100, but that is in kilometers!) and a different money system… you might not even notice a difference in culture. In most places, you can still speak your native language and be understood.

SEO Marketing Advice: The Three Ways of Creating Website Traffic

June 30th, 2008

The hardest part of internet marketing is traffic creation, ie, driving traffic to your site. Taking a step back to analyze how traffic is created can help you solve this riddle once and for all. Once you understand the various ways of creating traffic, then all you have to do is utilize the method that works best for you. Following are basically the three ways you can drive traffic to a site.

SEO Marketing Traffic Tip #1: Bought Traffic

This is one of the easiest ways to create traffic, but it is also one of the most expensive ways to do so. Buying traffic is usually accomplished via a pay-per-click (PPC) program. PPC traffic tends to be very stable, if the right keywords for the campaign are chosen. If you’re going to spend money on a PPC program, hire an SEO/web marketing firm to handle it for you. This is not a game for novices. It can cost you tons of money with zero returns if you don’t know what you’re doing.

SEO Marketing Traffic Tip #2: Borrowed Traffic

Borrowed traffic is one of the easiest ways to drive traffic to your site. And, it’s free. Usually this is accomplished via an affiliate program. The way it works is, you create a product to sell and allow others to make a percentage of each sale. It costs you or them anything. You both make money only when a product is sold. Because of this, affiliates work hard to send you traffic. This is a great business model for both parties.

SEO Marketing Traffic Tip #3: Traffic that is Created

This can also be called free traffic, but instead of having affiliates send it to you, you create it yourself. One of the most effective ways to do this is by writing and distributing free content, ie,  article marketing. If you don’t have the wherewithal to do this yourself, a full-service SEO/web marketing firm cannot only produce the articles for you, they can handle the distribution as well.  This is an excellent way to drive continuous traffic to your site without having to pay for each click to your website.

Prevention of Mold on Your Belongings

June 29th, 2008

All kinds of things in your home can be affected by mold, but you can do quite a few things to protect them and restore them if you do a little research.  A lot of molded items can be cleaned and saved, but there are a few that just have to be thrown away. 

If mold gets on anything made of real leather it cannot be restored.  Leather is a piece of porous organic material and mold decomposes items like this pretty quickly.  It will discolor the leather and this discoloration cannot be repaired in 99 percent of cases.

Baby bottles come in strange shapes these days and are very often difficult to get completely dry.  Water bottles and other beverage containers that we may have in our cabinets come in shapes just as strange and if you do not have a dishwasher with a dry cycle, it can be pretty hard to get these dry without a good amount of effort.  The solution to this problem is to place these bottles in the freezer until you are ready to use them again.  This prevents mold from growing on it, since mold does not grow in freezing temperatures. 

Something else that causes mold to grow on your belongings, especially clothes, is the simple act of throwing wet clothing on the floor or into the back of the closet and forgetting about them.  Most people do not wash wet clothes immediately; we tend to just throw them on the floor and then throw dry clothes on top of them.  This usually causes the dry clothes to become moldy if we leave them there more than a day or two.  Not only does it cause the clothes on top of them to become moldy, but if the wet items were thrown directly onto carpet, the carpet can become just as moldy.  Once carpet is molded, it usually needs to be taken up and replaced, but the padding underneath always needs to be removed because it cannot be cleaned.

If you have a lot of clothes in your closet, maybe you need to make sure that you do not pack them into the closet so tight that the air cannot circulate.  The clothes insulate each other and create warmth in the closet where mold can start growing after just a few days.  Some closets come with vents installed to prevent this problem, but if yours does not, you should probably find another way to store your clothes or get rid of the ones that you do not use.

Mold and Water in Your Two Most Important Rooms

June 28th, 2008

A good meal and a good bath is something that most Americans enjoy thoroughly, but how can you enjoy either one when you’re in a room full of ugly water damage stains on the walls, floors, and ceilings?  Many of these rooms often have the brown stains on the ceiling that are typical of water damage and while most people just paint over them, often the stains just keep coming back because the underlying problem has not been fixed yet.  It is probably due to a leaky roof, but what about the steam that comes off of your bath water or off of the stove when you cook dinner?  These every day tasks can be just as much of a cause of water damage as a leaking roof can be, if not more so because they happen every day.  At least, a bath a day comes recommended, anyway.  Installing a steam vent in your bathroom for under $100 and a day’s work could possibly be one of the best investments that you can make to help safeguard the appearance and structural integrity of your kitchen and bathroom.

Make sure that you do not allow your bath tub or your kitchen sink to overflow.  Sometimes we turn on the bath water and get stuck talking to a relative or a co-worker on the phone, all the while unaware that the water you wanted in your tub is pouring all over your floor.  The same thing can happen when you are cooking in the kitchen or washing dishes.  This can land quite a lot of water in your floor before you realize it and can do quite a bit of damage to your floor if you let it happen often. 

An overflowing toilet is also a hazard, not only because of the water damage that can occur, but also due to the possible sewage content of the water when you go to flush it.  If not cleaned up properly, mold can start to grow around the base of the toilet, especially if you have carpet in your bathroom.  Carpet in the bathroom is a no-no.

Also avoid throwing wet dirty clothes into your bathroom floor or closet, especially if you happen to have a carpeted bathroom.  You will probably forget that these wet clothes are there and throw dry ones on top of it.  This results in water damage and mold growth more often than not when the closet is not cleaned out.  The best thing to do is to wash wet clothes and towels as soon as possible so they are not forgotten about or at the very least stored separately from dry dirty clothes.
