How I did those SEO Articles

Writing can be fun, but quite often it is a bitter experience especially for those writers who have not seen much of their work accepted. In fact, many times this can be a horrific thing indeed. There were times when I was at wits end as what to do when the subject was something of which I had no idea about. Of course, not just horses it can be a vast variety of other things too. For instance, I was asked to write about a place, not just an ordinary place, but a place of great importance and was quite sought after by tourist from all over the world. Unfortunately, I had not visited this place and so also several places which would be an envy to travelers and a life's must for those who would like to wander around and enjoy scenery. There were great sites for these places in the websites and all you have to do is to Google them out one by one and hey presto you got some points noted down and you go on expanding those points to your heart's content. Not so easy, guys. These sites offer you plenty of pictures and a lot of tourist taxis and bus centers apart from the whole lot of hotels and restaurants. Of course, this doesn't mean that there isn't much of information available on these sites, but for writers looking for some original stuff that could prove to be a frustration yet a real delight to would be tourists, business men or marriage parties trying to get the best out of these Grand Holiday Trips. Now as a writer I ask this question quite often. Now what should I do? Somehow the brain brings out one of those rare hunches and I simply let go.
I met with the same sort of luck when one of my clients asked me to write about Gran Canaria Holidays. This place is simply wonderful if you have read all that is written about the place. The place belongs to Spain and is situated on the West Coast of Africa. It was a colony once and still under the possession of Spain. I have to be frank with you here, I had no luck whatsoever to write at least two or three dozen articles to be published for a website. Yet after much pondering and doing my best at searching out from the Google I could get a fair idea of the place and so I went on and on to the last and to my astonishment my client paid for the same without any deduction.
Do you know what I wrote? Well, I wrote about the place as if I was on a Gran Canaria holiday, then there were bicycle ride cum Gran Canaria holidays, Gran Canaria hotel tours, Gran Canaria gourmet travel, Gran Canaria jogging and camping holidays, Gran Canaria Cheap Holidays, Gran Canaria Air Flights, Air flights to Gran Canaria jungles and what not. I was simply feeding one after another of the articles with my capacity to churn out wild stuff in quick rapid succession. It was a grand success and gave me a lot of confidence.
Sometimes when writing gets bored it is better to let your wildest of the wild imagination get hold of you and ideas after ideas start pouring out into your personal computer no matter what the subject matter really is. Of course, this doesn't mean you should allow illogical expressions or grammatical mistakes or the article structure to go hay ware. I was quite happy with the outcome and was not at all scared of tackling more such articles. There were...ah.. no more nightmares nor the horrific ghoulish look I would have given to everyone had these articles got rejected. But these SEO articles surely brought in a lot of surprises for me regarding my own creative instinct. Didn't somebody say somewhere that the world is for the bold.

Mysteriously Horrifying

One of the worst nightmares that all people or rather most people do have is the idea of death. I didn't quite understand the idea for it was more to do with people's attitude to life. Quite remarkably a great majority existing in our planet like the idea of living a long life rather than have a bias for that quick exit from the difficulties of life. There are of course several professions that simply compete for space in giving out service for folks which would be a definite envy to most of the animals and other forms of life in the whole of solar system, if of course there were life in other planets. You name it and these lucrative professions are there at your finger tips. Leading all the professions is perhaps the life giving service of a medical practitioner, then comes the others like the fitness gurus to a whole body of professionals that aim for better and longer life by imparting their teachings in the form of meditation, hypnotism and what not. Thus, for all these one can easily derive at a conclusion that the most valuable possession of a human being is his own physique and being denied the perfect body of health would mean to be condemn him to the deepest parts of the horrifying hell. Thus, people for most part of their waking life try to live the best of their life thinking properly or improperly that the body they tend to from their birth onwards is the most valuable thing of his life. This of course he does so either consciously or subconsciously. There are some folks who think they have gained a lot while others who think they have been cheated out of their money as there has been no improvement whatsoever they feel. Yet the latter has no great chance of making a long life until and unless they have the right attitude to really bring down their weight as well as the host of other physical problems that come to roost during their middle ages. But the problem is no that as these are the usual course of things with human inclinations to like one thing or hate another. What is the horror that I have in mind is the revelation that what you thought was a perfect thing for fitness and best of health or the guru who advocated the methods of attaining them and for whom you have given your whole attention suddenly reverses the whole program or made to do so in course of life by the sudden act of God or call it Nature. Yes, I mean to say that this guru or the health advice he gives to all of us human is himself short lived and dies a quick shocking natural death. To say that you are flabbergasted would be an underestimation for you would feel non plussed with weeks on with speech defect.

Something like that happened when I was quite young and a very close associate of our folks in the town and who was known to be one of the best exponent and a living symbol of health, fitness and happiness suddenly died at the age of 54. We all went for the funeral to moan the loss for the community including those who are still living beyond their eighties. The moment was horrific. Everyone was all praise for the fitness symbol for the awesome health he possessed throughout his life. You perhaps got the whiff of it I presume. Such talks are quite likely in most of the funeral places all over the world. "What would have been without him" utters a seventy plus man and I failed to get the idea of what he really meant. Anyway we all have to be solemn enough to justify such events. "He was the perfection of health and fitness" another woman in her late sixties would mutter. Obviously I fidgeted nervously trying to see reason to all these words. "We must all emulate him and see that the best way for long life is to walk his path" said another man in his eighties. This got into me and I spoke, "Surely, he died early, didn't he". "Shh, don't say such lose words about a great great fitness and expert on long life," said a woman who was of the same age as the dead man.

The gist of the talk was that it made me confused about one thing about the various aspects of health and fitness conscious among the folks around the world. Fitness should never be imparted through mouth by a conscious fact that every person living in this planet should do a minimum of exercise, but not too much lest he or she succumbs to both physical and mental pressures. This is the first point. The second is that every living person takes at least a light activity preferably walking say for forty minutes to one hour. The next is that starving is as bad for your brain as for your physique. The best way is to eat your fill leaving with a feeling that you can have a few more snacks. Here, this very instant you stop. The next is to afford a good night's sleep. The rest the body will take care of by itself. I got this from a person whom I met after the funeral of the physical fitness guru and who has lived every moment of his life energetically even in his late eighties. His suggestion is to forget all nasty heavy or difficult exercises but only do what your body actually requires. He suggest a walk a day as much better than a run, a jog, weightlifting or aerobics.

A Lion Like Horse in Some Ways

TOday I shall talk about a particular breed of horse presently known as Przewalski's Horse. The horse has astonishingly been never seen by human beings or that is what the general opinion or so goes. However, the facts surfaced when the famous Russian explorer stumbled upon them during one his exploration in the remote forests of Mongolia in the year 18881. Quite a feat don't you think about this Russian explorer? Or it isn't anything. However the year is a long time back in history and the horses have been exploited and hunted to be domesticated as well eaten and many have become extinct. Perhaps one day we shall all see the skeletal figures of these magnificent creatures in some museum or some other place where archeologists would ponder about their history, life and behavior. Of course, only those who are extinct or on the verge of extinction. The popular specie like the quarter horse and those that are constantly put on the racing speed tracks... well, they are cared and well fed and would be an envy for average human beings.

But for Przewalski's Horse it seemed a different thing altogether in the remote past. In inaccessible areas of Mongolia these horses undoubtedly thrived. There were sparse population in this cold region and major part of the land was mountainous as well as covered with virgin forest. Remember, this is the place of the famed Mongol King and ruthless dictator and conqueror Ghengis Khan. In any case after Nikolai Przelwalski discovered these specie he left them to their affairs but not before he announced to the world about his find.

Horse enthusiasts around the world came flocking to Mongolia and might have made a pretty sight there. Unfortunately, how much they all tried or they ought to have without simply making a nuisance of themselves over there. These were a lot like lions except for the fact they were vegetarian and loathed meat and carcasses. Why the horses were like lion? They were surely one of the wildest of horses known to human beings. These horses under all skilled supervision and dexterous and speedy tactics never subjugated themselves to the man's evil designs. In fact, Przewalski's horse was a superb large stocky and light colored breed. The most notable feature of this horse was the stripes running on their backs and legs. Something tells me that this specie could have been a close cousin of the zebra. How the zebra came all the way or one of its relatives found their way from the Asian and African plains is another matter altogether. However, if one deduced things properly then one can get some idea and perhaps a vague picture of the land millions of years back when a few zebras actually mated with some wild horses and their progenies turned out to be the present Przewalski's horse.

You might like to speculate here from different angles and these are not quite horrific tales but rather a tales of intrigue. Now you might again have doubts and ask once more the same question as above. Why like a lion? Well, to tell you the truth it was quite an independent breed and had dun coats as well as a prominent dark mane. Besides, like the lions it kept company among several mares. In fact the stallion of this breed were quite protective of the mares and had several. But unlike the lions the Przewalski's horse did not aggressively protect their territories like they did to their females. Perhaps they were too busy and didn't have the time. Yet another big folly for other males crossed over quite too often and perhaps they took off some females without much of a fight. Really bad. But humans it seemed hunted them down when they couldn't tame them and they were at the verge of extinction. However, some wise enthusiasts and horse lovers tried breeding them in captivity and the horses that were born by crossing with domesticated horses were quite tame and could also be trained. Quite a neat little bonus for aspiring horsemen, isn't it? Incidentally, Ukraine has the largest sanctuary made for these horses. They became famous as well as sought after. A study in research of these animals were later conducted and it was seen that the cross was less lion like than the original Przewalski's Horse. Yet they seemed adjustable when you have a lot of children playing around where these horses are tied up. The chromosomes of these animals had a tale to tell too. The original Przewalsi's horse had 66 chromosomes while the domesticated horses with whom they were crossed had 64 chromosomes. The result one chromosome less for the offspring of course and that meant 65 chromosomes. Not a bad deal I should say after there is only one chromosome left, but the scientists and enthusiasts might think that this one chromosome difference would have mattered a great deal on the race tracks across the world where Horse Racing means making and raking in millions and millions of dollars.

Horses and Horses and More Horses

This was becoming truly a nightmare for me for as I was entrusted to write articles on horses by a client. This was okay when you are likely to get materials from Google or browse through the internet. But the matter is not always so when the subject horse or the special breed has no history behind it nor does it feature anywhere in the sites or something vague has been mentioned somewhere. Tell me, isn't that a real HORRIFIC THING? In any case I had to write those articles for I was a writer and have to make a living out of it. Thus, began the tales of these wonder animals and to tell you the truth what was not available on the web I manufactured in my modula oblangata or the cerebral area or whatever you may call it.
The horses I wrote about were quite a varied and unique breed by themselves. In fact, while writing and pondering over the details I fell in love with horses for steady long time. Yet the nightmare stuck for those specie which had no record anywhere nor any website gave me enough clues. However, I overcame the initial block by getting around tips like the horse's origin was in such and such country and looked over the detailed geographical map of the country to see whether the country was a desert, a mountainous region, a flat land, a place of extremes in temperatures, cold icy areas and the like. Naturally, my thoughts too went off into that direction and I could reasonably think of facts or rather imagine something like if the breed originated in mountainous region then it ought to be one of the sturdiest variety and if there were human populace then the horse in all likelihood would be used as beasts of burden. In places where the past history was full of conflicts, battles and nomadic warriors I came to the conclusion that the horse would surely be a little more sporty and courageous than the other specie. Thus, I deduced in a unique way such that all my articles paid off without a single one being rejected by the client.

Here is a nice advise for would be writers of articles. Never get intimidated by any subject even if you have very little knowledge about it until and unless you have to do in depth research in that subject area. For that you do need a little more than your usual tricks and writing tools. In any case what I thought was going to be a sordid horrific event turned out to be quite a neat little adventure in writing. And lo behold! I wrote out articles on horses after horses including specie like the Prezewalski's Horse, Pyrenean Tarpan, Qatgani Horse, Quarter Horse, Quarter Horse Cross, The Saddlebred Horse, Sanhe breed of horses, The Spannish Barb Horse, The Spannish Norman Horse, Spotted Mountain Horse, Spotted Saddle Horse, Tracking Horse, Thessalian Horse, Thoroughbred Horse, Tiger Horse, Tokaro Horse, The Quarab Horse, Tawleed Horse, The Tarpan Horse, Taishuh Horse, Spotted Draft Horse and the Russian Trotter Horse. Of course apart from the above breeds of horses there were other horses which were either extinct or were cross bred several times over. It is only by getting their names in authenticated registry that the horses get their names. However, for speed racing the most sought after horses are the quarter horse or quarter horse cross. Some of these animals cost millions of dollars and their owners rake in huge money through betting on horse races as you may perhaps know.

So much about horses, but I shall come with more tales of these animals some time later.

DARKNESS HAS ITS OWN DEVILISH HORRORS

The sun has touched the rims of the deep awesome distant sea. The waves have become even more energetic and resembled a huge cauldron full of galvanizing action and were as intense to wreck ruin on the land and the horizon as if this was going to be the last of the awful nights. The sky was one of spectacular mess of colors and it seemed that the darker colors were getting a constant winning edge over the lighter shades of the receding brush of the sun. The wind too has taken a chance to spell out its strengths to make whatever it can to contribute to the night of uncertainty. Longer shadows on the land has extended over time to consume what might be the last of the specks of sunlight. With the flickering of the artificial city lights night in all encompassing spirit has taken sway over the seas and the land and not the least the minds of most of the living souls that sauntered around as well as those that shut themselves into their house to get into that almost dying sleep. Life far from those of the city hot spots move about listlessly and then retire into those closed doors. Rumor spreads through the veils of the moonless nights and the horrors of darkness is told around camp fires, lighted bedrooms, balconies and terraces overlooking thick ghoulish looking dark outline of foliages near and at the distance and there remains a air of uncertainty as tales after tales of unholy apparitions, strange figures, ghastly looking shapes and sinister plots unfold to fan the spreading fire of fear within every living souls.

Many of the tales spin around the multitude of men, women and children within ones family, relations and friends, but by far the worst of the nightmares are those of the living ones who have one way or the other created a havoc in ones life or may cause them in the near future. These tales of horrors are washed with quite soothing suggestions and confidence imbuing efforts by kilns and friends, but of these only a few have any lasting or permanent effect in the ghoulish atmosphere that prevails around humanity. One such is the acts of people to obliterate those less fortunate in the name of competition, economic might, military prowess and the advantage that a person, an entity or a country has over its resources attained over the years by hook or by crook. Undoubtedly, this type of ghoulish entities or creatures can never be wiped out as they seem to have an inborn capacity to surface at every place, be it night or day.

Sometimes, these horrors are a necessary evil reminding the living human beings that life is not be taken for granted and that to 'snooze is to lose' all that you have to the evil people of the planet. Amazingly, such catastrophic horrors have not remained only in the daily face to face interaction between the men and women and the children, but has appeared in an even more horrific forms in the internet. Some assume the forms that would destroy the lives of several large groups of individuals while others have even spelled devastation for the entire communication over the net. Even these evils assume the forms of simpleton initially only to burst upon the scene at the last moment. Several have crawled the websites to derail communication or internet browsing, some call them internet viruses while others are yet to surface in more exotic forms in the future. Whatever be the case all these nasty looking terror has the sole purpose to destroy smooth life and level of comforts for the average hardworking folks. The SEO articles or the Search Engine Optimization have their own remarkable ways of getting attracted to keywords in the website and who knows another ghoulish horrific invention by these living devils might upset the well set plan for earning and browsing the internet in order to make a living for ordinary folks.

UFOs and More Horrors

There is no dearth of horrifying moments in any parts of the world. Apart from terrorism now there is a report ( they say it is a lot authentic) about ghoulish monsters visiting us from outer space to of course, scare the daylights out of us humble earthlings. It has been reported that some parts of the world are fast coming under the scrutiny of UFOs and poltergeists. The news reads that worried UK residents phoned 999 to report these ghoulish sightings. That brings us to certain facts about ghosts especially the poltergeists types who are much less of a vampire types that suck in human blood at the slightest pretext. They are supposed to be the friendlier among the tribe we all consider as dangerous or ghoulish. In UK surprisingly some of the residents have come across the ghost of Paul Newman. I should add that he was quite good fellow and may have appeared as a poltergeist. Anyway these ghostly apparitions have their footing in the technological levels too as many have appeared in CCTV cameras. Whatever be the case everyone or a significant lot of people are getting disturbed about the sightings.

And there lies the catch. There is no need for getting unduly frightened about it. In fact, there are a lot of real life poltergeists who do the most devilish works be it in the stock market, the world of financial networks, politics, terrorism or name it and you have it at the tip of your tongue. Get me. These real life ghoulish figures are the most dangerous than the UFOs and I wouldn't be ashamed to say that I jolly would like to see one and enjoy a few sightings ....well at a distance only. Well, who knows that one of these sightings may prove to be a real one and I well mean it and out climbs one of our own ghouls like devils who have outwitted the world and made his own by stealthy crooked games by trying to act like one of us.

Yes, sure enough, these are men and at times woman who have made their own world comfortable by duping us citizens for money, power or for their simple sadistic pleasure. I am a lot more disturbed by these horrors and so do I hope you all do.

This is definitely horrifying and the nation braces itself for yet another strike. The most affected are the common man especially those who do not have a fixed income and hence rely to a great extent on the daily income. Yet who compensates for these tragic woes. None, surely. The whole lot of elected representatives have a lot more to do that line their pockets than listen to these commoners. Anyway there isn't much to be done as none of the parties in power have any vision except dole out such dramatic horrifying moments that people are forced to take. Looks like there will be a lot more messing up on all fronts whether it is home or foreign. These are one of the most degenerate times where values are lost at the slightest hint of something to be gained in whatever way possible. But we are to blame really for we get the sort of governance we ourselves toiled to elect.

Another horrifying tale is the latest at New Zealand where there was a massive earthquake. Luckily no lives were lost. But warning that something or the other is happening deep under the earth's crust. Perhaps there would be more tales of horrors from different parts of the world in the future as we are already messing up with our planet and making it even worser by mankind's voluntary inability to deviate into sense for so steadfast we are walking through the path of reckless and wanton destruction for materialistic gain and power over others. Come to think of it the earthshaking event at New Zealand may not have happened due to the human factors, but who knows in the long run a greater percentage would be the contribution of humanity itself. Remember, there is a lot of ongoing deep sea drilling and the like and perhaps the day and night isn't far when we would be searching around for rare resources in the ocean floors to the Himalayas. Aha, there is already something about the Himalayas. The Chinese are aiming from the roof tops to get access from the Western side to develop their Gobi deserts and other remote areas, but in all likelihood this wouldn't be their after dinner desserts. The erstwhile Gondowana Land has come sailing not just to lift the Tethys sea perhaps the greater truth lies in the way the same land might lift up a lot more folds on the Himalayan roof tops. Of course, this would take millions of years yet the grumbling itself could be heard and there is no need for any mad rush for developing these areas however fortunate or awesome the country's economic power might be. Pakistan had it this year with its floods and so did parts of China. When it comes to earth movement all technology of the world would be lost on the earth. Let us all hope that sense prevail in humanity.
