There has been increasing abuse of the Internet Marketing world by unscrupulous marketers claiming to be honest and professional when in truth half the things you see are outright scams or ways to make money that promise wealth by presenting “doctored” income “proof” of screenshots of their Paypal™ or Clickbank™  accounts flush with supposed cash from their schemes.

Well enough is enough and the industry has decided to police themselves with an ethical organization called IMTrustWorthy™.  We are proud to join other honest and ethical marketers who are now brandishing the IMTrustWorthy seal on their websites and blogs. By doing so we agree to the Prudent Practices of Internet Marketing.

Our own  licensed seal can be seen on our “About” page and we are committed to only adhering to the honest and ethical methods of doing business on the Internet that this represents.

If you agree that this industry needs cleaning up and want to join in the revolution just click the banner below to sign up and commit with us.

It is hard for me to believe that the last post on our site was on February 28th 2010! My how time DOES fly. There has been a lot going on in the background however and Brad Hodges Enterprises is still alive and well but we have changed directions somewhat in our company vision as well as focus.

While we are still fully committed and engaged in our nearly 60 websites we already own and operate, as you know, if you have followed our site for any time, that I am also the CEO/Publisher of ArticleStorehouse.com. Article Storehouse has quickly become our flagship Internet presence and thus article publishing and marketing has become our flagship product.

For a complete overview of what Article Storehouse is about please read our January 2010 spotlight article.  In addition, since the last article was written, beside our  Article Storehouse Twitter presence, we have created a Facebook page and our Alexa Ranking has climbed, as I write this, to 98,752 in the world! Is it any wonder we are focused on this site and business?

We are actively seeking quality authors who write top shelf articles to submit their articles for free but the key word here is QUALITY which is what sets us apart from all the thousands of other article directories out there. We are fanatical about quality. Why? Because our goal is also to be the premiere directory where those seeking content for their own websites, businesses and blogs come for content.

People want to read quality, well written material when they visit any one’s website or blog, not a bunch of junk material that has poor spelling, grammar, uses what is called “article spinning” to create multiple articles from an original article and basically ends up amounting to nothing more than cyber-junk. They want to read clean well articulated and interesting material and that is where we separate the men from the boys so to speak by delivering only top quality.  If you are interested in becoming one of our Certified Pro Authors ©, we would invite you to read our submission guidelines before signing up and submitting articles.

So that is where we are heading. If you would like to read more about ArticleStorehouse.com check out our “About” page to learn more and give the site a good look over while you are at it.

CEO/Publisher

It’s a rhetorical question. Who doesn’t would be a more appropriate and non-rhetorical question here in the United States where our company is headquartered. It is also the subject of our website, or in this case blog, spotlight of the month for February; LoseWeightForMe.com.

During the past 20 years there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States. In 2008, only one state (Colorado) had a prevalence of obesity less than 20%. Thirty-two states had a prevalence equal to or greater than 25%; six of these states (Alabama, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia ) had a prevalence of obesity equal to or greater than 30%. (Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html)

Losing weight is a three state (and we don’t mean 3 of the 50 in the U.S.)  process; “State of Mind, State of Time and State of Body©”

To effectively lose weight you have to mentally be prepared and truly want to lose weight – State of Mind, be willing to dedicate the necessary time to lose weight for preparing the right kind of foods and making time to exercise – State of Time and committing to some form of dedicated and ongoing cardiovascular exercise – State of Body. Without these three components you can not and will not be successful.

LoseWeightForMe.com takes these three components into consideration in everything that is presented on the blog and are the lively topics of conversation from our visitors. The blog provides carefully chosen articles that can truly help achieve your weight loss goals as well as only allows advertisers of the highest quality and most effective products to help you lose weight. There is even a BMI (body mass index) calculator on-site that can help with your weight loss goals and planning.

It is a proven fact that having support from others who are in the process of losing weight or have successfully and even unsuccessfully lost weight is vital in keeping ones morale high and goals moving forward and our weight loss blog provides plenty of support from readers and experts alike.

Online since November 2007, LoseWeightForMe.com has been a tremendous resource for thousands of individuals who have battled weight loss successfully and found the information contained in it invaluable in their efforts.

If you are among the 20% plus of folks in the United States who are overweight or anyone elsewhere in the world who are on a quest to get back to a healthy weight and lifestyle visit our blog and partner with us to reach your goals.
