Performance Counters in Delphi, sample project and article

By www.wehlou.com
Published On :: Sat, 8 May 2004 15:19:40 +0200

Implementing performance monitors in your app is very helpful for profiling, debugging and general satisfaction of the more qualified endusers. It's also a non-trivial excercise, to put it mildly. Microsoft have done their part in making it obscure and hard to use, so naturally, we can't leave it alone, can we? This particular implementation only implements raw and delta counters, but that covers almost anything you'll ever need. The basis is there for other types of counters, though, such as instance based counters and high-precision. Both precompiled and full project source is available.

12C: IN DATABASE ARCHIVING

In this post, I will demonstrate a new feature introduced in 12c : In database archiving. It enables you to archive rows within a table by marking them as invisible. This is accomplshed by means of a hidden column ORA_ARCHIVE_STATE. These invisible rows are not visible to the queries but if needed, can be viewed , by setting a session parameter ROW ARCHIVAL VISIBILITY.

Overview:

-- Create test user uilm, tablespace ilmtbs
-- Connect as user uilm
-- create and populate test table (5 rows) ilmtab with row archival clause
-- Note that the table has an additional column ORA_ARCHIVE_STATE automatically created and has the default value of 0 (indicates that row is active)
-- Note that this column is not visible when we describe the table or simply issue select * from ...
-- We need to access data dictionary to view the column
-- Make two rows in the table inactive by setting ORA_ARCHIVE_STATE column to a non zero value.
-- Check that inactive rows are not visible to query
-- Set the parameter ROW ARCHIVAL VISIBILITY = all to see inactive rows also
-- Set the parameter ROW ARCHIVAL VISIBILITY = active to hide inactive rows
-- Issue an insert into ... select * and check that only 3 visible rows are inserted
-- Set the parameter ROW ARCHIVAL VISIBILITY = all to see inactive rows also
-- Issue an insert into ... select * and check that all the rows are inserted but ORA_ARCHIVE_STATE is not propagated in inserted rows
-- Disable row archiving in the table and check that column ORA_ARCHIVE_STATE is automatically dropped
-- drop tablespace ilmtbs and user uilm

Implementation :

-- Create test user, tablespace and test table

Recursive WITH, part II: Hierarchical queries

By www.orafaq.com

SQL & PL/SQL

In my last post, I looked at using recursive WITH to implement simple recursive algorithms in SQL. One very common use of recursion is to traverse hierarchical data. I recently wrote a series of posts on hierarchical data, using Oracle’s CONNECT BY syntax and a fun example. In this post, I’ll be revisiting the same data using recursive WITH.

There are dozens of examples of hierarchical data, from the EMP table to the Windows Registry to binary trees, but I went with something more fun: the skeleton from the old song “Dem Dry Bones”.

Quote:

Toe bone connected to the foot bone
Foot bone connected to the heel bone
Heel bone connected to the ankle bone
Ankle bone connected to the shin bone
Shin bone connected to the knee bone
Knee bone connected to the thigh bone
Thigh bone connected to the hip bone
Hip bone connected to the back bone
Back bone connected to the shoulder bone
Shoulder bone connected to the neck bone
Neck bone connected to the head bone

Since every bone has only one ancestor, and there is a root bone with no ancestor, this is hierarchical data and we can stick it in a table and query it.

SELECT * FROM skeleton;
BONE                                     CONNECTED_TO_THE
---------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
shoulder                                 neck
back                                     shoulder
hip                                      back
thigh                                    hip
knee                                     thigh
leg                                      knee
foot                                     heel
head
neck                                     head
toe                                      foot
arm                                      shoulder
wrist                                    arm
ankle                                    leg
heel                                     ankle
finger                                   wrist
a rib                                    back
b rib                                    back
c rib                                    back

You can see that I added some ribs and an arm to make the skeleton more complete!

Using Oracle’s CONNECT BY syntax:

SQL> SQL> col connected_to_the FOR a9 SQL> col level FOR 99 SQL> col bone_tree FOR a27 SQL> col path FOR a65

SELECT bone, connected_to_the, level, lpad(' ',2*level, ltrim(sys_connect_by_path( FROM skeleton START WITH connected_to_the IS NULL CONNECT BY prior bone=connected_to_the ORDER siblings BY 1

BONE       CONNECTED LEVEL BONE_TREE ---------- --------- head neck       head shoulder   neck arm        shoulder      4 wrist      arm           5 finger     wrist         6 back       shoulder      4 a rib      back          5 b rib      back          5 c rib      back          5 hip        back          5 thigh      hip           6 knee       thigh         7 leg        knee          8 ankle      leg           9 heel       ankle        10 foot       heel         11 toe        foot         12

col bone FOR a10 ' ') || bone AS bone_tree , bone,'>'),'>') AS path PATH ----- --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1   head                      head 2     neck                    head>neck 3       shoulder              head>neck>shoulder arm                 head>neck>shoulder>arm wrist             head>neck>shoulder>arm>wrist finger          head>neck>shoulder>arm>wrist>finger back                head>neck>shoulder>back a rib             head>neck>shoulder>back>a rib b rib             head>neck>shoulder>back>b rib c rib             head>neck>shoulder>back>c rib hip               head>neck>shoulder>back>hip thigh           head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh knee          head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh>knee leg         head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh>knee>leg ankle     head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh>knee>leg>ankle heel    head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh>knee>leg>ankle>heel foot  head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh>knee>leg>ankle>heel>foot toe head>neck>shoulder>back>hip>thigh>knee>leg>ankle>heel>foot>toe

The above CONNECT BY query uses the LEVEL pseudocolumn and the SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH function. With recursive WITH, there’s no need for these built-ins because these values fall naturally out of the recursion.

Let’s start with the basic hierarchical query rewritten in recursive WITH.
The hierarchical relationship in our table is:
Parent(row.bone) = row.connected_to_the

WITH skellarchy (bone, parent) AS
 ( SELECT bone, connected_to_the FROM skeleton 
   WHERE bone = 'head'                         -- Start with the root
 UNION ALL
   SELECT s.bone, s.connected_to_the 
   FROM skeleton s, skellarchy r
   WHERE r.bone = s.connected_to_the           -- Parent(row.bone) = row.connected_to_the
 )
SELECT * FROM skellarchy;

BONE       PARENT
---------- ----------------------------------------
head
neck       head
shoulder   neck
back       shoulder
arm        shoulder
hip        back
wrist      arm
a rib      back
b rib      back
c rib      back
thigh      hip
finger     wrist
knee       thigh
leg        knee
ankle      leg
heel       ankle
foot       heel
toe        foot

Because we built up the SKELLARCHY table recursively, it’s easy to make an equivalent to the LEVEL pseudocolumn; it falls right out of the recursion:

WITH skellarchy (bone, parent, the_level) AS
 ( SELECT bone, connected_to_the, 0 FROM skeleton 
   WHERE bone = 'head'                         
 UNION ALL
   SELECT s.bone, s.connected_to_the , r.the_level + 1
   FROM skeleton s, skellarchy r
   WHERE r.bone = s.connected_to_the           
 )
SELECT * FROM skellarchy;

BONE       PARENT      THE_LEVEL
---------- ---------- ----------
head                           0
neck       head                1
shoulder   neck                2
back       shoulder            3
arm        shoulder            3
hip        back                4
wrist      arm                 4
a rib      back                4
b rib      back                4
c rib      back                4
thigh      hip                 5
finger     wrist               5
knee       thigh               6
leg        knee                7
ankle      leg                 8
heel       ankle               9
foot       heel               10
toe        foot               11

and it’s also easy to build up a path from root to the current node like the “SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH” function does for CONNECT BY queries:

WITH skellarchy (bone, parent, the_level, the_path) AS
 ( SELECT bone, connected_to_the, 0, CAST(bone AS varchar2(4000)) FROM skeleton 
   WHERE bone = 'head'                         
 UNION ALL
   SELECT s.bone, s.connected_to_the , r.the_level + 1, r.the_path || '->' || s.bone
   FROM skeleton s, skellarchy r
   WHERE r.bone = s.connected_to_the           
 )
SELECT * FROM skellarchy;

BONE       PARENT     THE_LEVEL THE_PATH
---------- ---------- --------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
head                          0 head
neck       head               1 head->neck
shoulder   neck               2 head->neck->shoulder
back       shoulder           3 head->neck->shoulder->back
arm        shoulder           3 head->neck->shoulder->arm
hip        back               4 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip
wrist      arm                4 head->neck->shoulder->arm->wrist
a rib      back               4 head->neck->shoulder->back->a rib
b rib      back               4 head->neck->shoulder->back->b rib
c rib      back               4 head->neck->shoulder->back->c rib
thigh      hip                5 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh
finger     wrist              5 head->neck->shoulder->arm->wrist->finger
knee       thigh              6 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh->knee
leg        knee               7 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh->knee->leg
ankle      leg                8 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh->knee->leg->ankle
heel       ankle              9 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh->knee->leg->ankle->heel
foot       heel              10 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh->knee->leg->ankle->heel->foot
toe        foot              11 head->neck->shoulder->back->hip->thigh->knee->leg->ankle->heel->foot->toe

and we can use our generated the_level column to make a nice display just as we used the level pseudocolumn with CONNECT BY:

WITH skellarchy (bone, parent, the_level) AS
 ( SELECT bone, connected_to_the, 0  FROM skeleton 
   WHERE bone = 'head'                         
 UNION ALL
   SELECT s.bone, s.connected_to_the , r.the_level + 1
   FROM skeleton s, skellarchy r
   WHERE r.bone = s.connected_to_the           
 )
SELECT lpad(' ',2*the_level, ' ') || bone AS bone_tree FROM skellarchy;

BONE_TREE
---------------------------
head
  neck
    shoulder
      back
      arm
        hip
        wrist

        b rib
        c rib
          thigh

                    foot
                      toe

Now, the bones are coming out in a bit of a funny order for a skeleton. Instead of this:

    shoulder
      back
      arm
        hip
        wrist
        a rib
        b rib
        c rib
          thigh
          finger

I want to see this:

    shoulder
      arm
        wrist
          finger
      back
        a rib
        b rib
        c rib
        hip
          thigh

The rows are coming out in BREADTH FIRST ordering – meaning all siblings of ‘shoulder’ are printed before any children of ‘shoulder’. But I want to see them in DEPTH FIRST: going from shoulder to finger before we start on the backbone.

WITH skellarchy (bone, parent, the_level) AS
 ( SELECT bone, connected_to_the, 0  FROM skeleton 
   WHERE bone = 'head'                         
 UNION ALL
   SELECT s.bone, s.connected_to_the , r.the_level + 1
   FROM skeleton s, skellarchy r
   WHERE r.bone = s.connected_to_the           
 )
SEARCH DEPTH FIRST BY bone SET bone_order
SELECT lpad(' ',2*the_level, ' ') || bone AS bone_tree FROM skellarchy
ORDER BY bone_order;

BONE_TREE
---------------------------
head
  neck
    shoulder
      arm
        wrist
          finger
      back
        a rib
        b rib
        c rib
        hip
          thigh
            knee
              leg
                ankle
                  heel
                    foot
                      toe

And now the result looks more like a proper skeleton.

Now on to cycles. A cycle is a loop in the hierarchical data: a row is its own ancestor. To put a cycle in the example data, I made the skeleton bend over and connect the head to the toe:

UPDATE skeleton SET connected_to_the='toe' WHERE bone='head';

And now if we try to run the query:

ERROR at line 2:
ORA-32044: cycle detected while executing recursive WITH query

With the CONNECT BY syntax, we can use CONNECT BY NOCYCLE to run a query even when cycles exist, and the pseudocolumn CONNECT_BY_IS_CYCLE to help detect cycles. For recursive WITH, Oracle provides a CYCLE clause, which is a bit more powerful as it allows us to name the column which is cycling.

WITH skellarchy (bone, parent, the_level) AS
 ( SELECT bone, connected_to_the, 0  FROM skeleton 
   WHERE bone = 'head'                         
 UNION ALL
   SELECT s.bone, s.connected_to_the , r.the_level + 1
   FROM skeleton s, skellarchy r
   WHERE r.bone = s.connected_to_the           
 )
SEARCH DEPTH FIRST BY bone SET bone_order
CYCLE bone SET is_a_cycle TO 'Y' DEFAULT 'N'
SELECT lpad(' ',2*the_level, ' ') || bone AS bone_tree, is_a_cycle FROM skellarchy
--where is_a_cycle='N'
ORDER BY bone_order;

BONE_TREE                                                    I

                  heel                                       N
                    foot                                     N
                      toe                                    N
                        head                                 Y

The query runs until the first cycle is detected, then stops.

The CONNECT BY syntax does provide a nice pseudocolumn, CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF, which is 1 when a row has no further children, 0 otherwise. In my next post, I’ll look at emulating this pseudocolumn with recursive WITH.

Half Hidden ... HNT

I know that it's "Half Nekkid Thursday", but this week about the best that I can offer is fully naked and partially hidden. I spent the entire day helping my little sister pack and get ready for her move. When I got home I was just too tired to be very creative.

My Sister bought a house in Denver proper. The entire distance of her move is about twelve miles, but I swear that it couldn't be more trouble if she was moving across the country.

I absolutely love the neighborhood she's moving to. It's called Washington Park and I'm so jealous that I half want to strangle the brat...

This Week's Idiot Award

By dailyfisk.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 27 Mar 2006 19:35:00 -0800

I'm a Neo-Nothing:

Last Friday, fallen neo-conservative blogger (and wannabe journalist) Ben Domenech (who was fired for plagiarism just hours after being recruited by the Washington Post) said:

"To my friends: thank you for your support. To my enemies: I take enormous solace in the fact that you spent this week bashing me, instead of America."

What an ego. That embarrassing episode has left a stain on the entire blogosphere and only proves what the Fisk has been saying all along. So I'll raise Domenech's ante by saying that I take enormous pride in being a neo-nothing, 'cause to be neo-anything is to be a (not so neo) IDIOT. (Pun most definitely intended).

McCain Attacks Bloggers, Sinks Ship with Loose Lips

By dailyfisk.blogspot.com
Published On :: Sat, 13 May 2006 23:55:00 -0700

That's no easy feat even for an old navy man such as John McCain. He says bloggers are old enough to fight his damn wars but not enough to speak our mind.

Think Progress notes McCain's attack on the blogosphere:

When I was a young man, I was quite infatuated with self-expression, and rightly so because, if memory conveniently serves, I was so much more eloquent, well-informed, and wiser than anyone else I knew. It seemed I understood the world and the purpose of life so much more profoundly than most people. I believed that to be especially true with many of my elders, people whose only accomplishment, as far as I could tell, was that they had been born before me, and, consequently, had suffered some number of years deprived of my insights…It’s a pity that there wasn’t a blogosphere then. I would have felt very much at home in the medium.

Damn the torpedoes and full steam ahead. I think we've just been broadsided matey.

Very wittily said John, but all you've accomplished is to demonstrate your ignorance of the Blogosphere. If you only knew how old I really am (but don't you dare ask).

So I guess we've all been told. So much for freedom of speech. Maybe we should put an age limit on it. Now there's an idea for you John. There outta be a law.

In 2000, John McCain called Rev. Jerry Falwell an “agent of intolerance.” Yesterday, in a naked attempt to broaden his political base, McCain delivered the commencement speech at Falwell’s Liberty University. McCain’s hypocrisy was noted on many blogs. He returned the favor in his speech at Liberty by attacking the blogosphere.

A commentor also noted:

McCain’s lurch to the right begs the following question: Could it be possible that Republicans are also saddled with shitty consultants?

Psst... here's a dirtly little secret. McCain's a mole. So now you know.

Phony Peaceniks Protest in Washington

By political-football.blogspot.com
Published On :: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 00:08:00 -0700

That was the scathing headline by Hitch over at Slate magazine about the anti-war protests last Saturday. Has anybody had anything good to say about the protests? I'm still looking.

"The protests were largely sponsored by two groups, the Answer Coalition, which embodies a wide range of progressive political objectives, and United for Peace and Justice, which has a more narrow, antiwar focus.

"International ANSWER," the group run by the "Worker's World" party and fronted by Ramsey Clark, which openly supports Kim Jong-il, Fidel Castro, Slobodan Milosevic, and the "resistance" in Afghanistan and Iraq, with Clark himself finding extra time to volunteer as attorney for the genocidaires in Rwanda.

Quite a "wide range of progressive political objectives" indeed, if that's the sort of thing you like. However, a dip into any database could have furnished Janofsky with well-researched and well-written articles by David Corn and Marc Cooper - to mention only two radical left journalists who have exposed "International ANSWER" as a front for (depending on the day of the week) fascism, Stalinism, and jihadism."

Dr. Phil Doesn't Call Leads . . . .

By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 05:57:00 +0000

No he doesn't does he?

I'd laugh if I ever turned on the TV and stumbled
across a day time talk show where the host was
sitting there on the phone trying to coax people into
being a guest of their show using hard sell cold
call techniques.

But why?

Is Dr. Phil the best psychologist around?

I'm sure if you asked other psychologist they would
roll their eyes at you and go into 20-minute
discussion about why he's a hack.

Well if he's not the best then why do people line up
to be guests on his show?

The answer is simple. It's Marketing . . .

He has a show that allows him to access the entire
world each and every single weekday.

Massive exposure is his game.

All he has to do is at the end of one of his shows
flash a 20 second message about the type of person
he'd like to have on his show in the future along
with a number for those people to call in for more
details and the phone lines light up.

Getting people to call you is drop dead easy when you
have exposure and that's the secret. Get your
offer in front of as many people as you can and odds
are some of them are going to be interested in
it.

And you don't even have to be the best or have the
best product. If you can learn the game of massive
exposure you can be second best and still win way
more than the best.

So as a network marketer your first job is to get
your offer in front of as many people as you can and
you win.

Important to note though . . .

Although Dr. Phil is NOT the best psychologist going,
because of his exposure he DOES do more good for
the world overall than even the best psychologists.
His messages reach millions where a psychologist
with less exposure, his or her, message only reaches
as many people as he can see in a day.

You do more good in the world if you master the art
of marketing but you're only an ok network
marketer than you do if you're the best network
marketer out there working the phone lines or
approaching people one on one.

Be a master marketer if you want to make the most
positive change possible with your business.

Leverage the awesome power of the Internet and open
your business to a whole new world of massive
exposure. A world where with, one swift push of a
button, you can literally recruit as many people as
you want. A world where they call you. Here's how:

Don't Get Caught In This Trap

By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 06:03:00 +0000

I received an email a few days ago from a former member
of my organization asking if I was still a member of my
current company to which I replied "But of course!"

I asked him to tell me a little bit about why he left
and why he wanted to return so that I could figure out
a proper sponsor for him.

His reply email resembled what I think happens to many.
He went of and tried other internet marketing business
models with some success, but not to the level that he
had envisioned and he realized that the income he was
creating was not as leveraged as that which network
marketing provides and so . . . he's back searching.

Some of the details I've left out, but a story with
lots of twists and turns, hard work and small rewards
all leading back to one path - network marketing.

In his reply email he said "Now that I've revealed my
story to you, GIVE me someone to work with so that I
can decide if I want to return."

To this I have not responded yet and the reason is
this, I'm not convinced that this particular person is
really looking to rejoin for the right reasons or if
he's just looking for something that can produce an
income.

It's dangerous to begin an association with any
business solely for money, it rarely works out.

For network marketing to work for you, you must have a
connection to your company and it's products that is
BIGGER than how much money you can make or you'll lack
the focus needed for true breakthrough success.

Make sure you see more than just dollar signs when you
look at your business if you want it to work. True
excitement and enthusiasm should be present when
marrying yourself to an opportunity.

Sometimes this is apparent from the outside and
sometimes it grows on you, but if you're in a business
for an extended period of time and the only thing you
can talk to prospects about is how much money they can
make you're in the wrong place.

Tomorrow I'm going to be discussing the principles of
direct marketing for internet network marketing, a
topic I've never really seen discussed, be on the
lookout.

Today Is That Day . . . (Open This NOW!!!)

By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 12:50:00 +0000

I've heard the cries from the team and I can't hold them
back any longer. It's time to do all over again, and it's
time to do it even better.

Let's take it up a notch with a team Co-op!

I am excited about this month's, but this month is
different.

Why?

I already now the exact formula for HUGE success in running
a team co-op, and this month I get to push the envelop even
further!

Just read this email and you'll see what I mean!

Ok guys, it's time to quit playing around.

Our business is growing by leaps and bound.

So, it's time to pull together as a team and do it again!

The best way to do this is through a massive advertising
campaign and the best time to do it is NOW.

Let me give you a little history behind why I started the
team co-op:

I've spoken to and helped trained 100s of people over the
past year and I know not all of you on the team have the
expertise to run your business online at the same level that
I and a couple of our team leaders can.

Month's back we started a co-op to help bridge this gap in
marketing expertise so that every member of our team that
has the drive, but maybe not the marketing skill at this
time can get in on the action too.

How will the co-op work?

Each member of the co-op will purchase a share.

Our team leaders will locate and investigate the best places
to run our advertisements and then we will place the ads.

Once the ad runs, each member of the team who purchases a
share in the co-op will receive their EQUAL share of the
traffic produced.

What are the advantages of having an ad co-op?

The advantage of this is that we will be able to leverage
the experience and knowledge of those who are doing well as
an entire team.

I personally sponsored 85 team members so far, and I want to
use my knowledge and track record of success to help give
you a jump-start towards doing the same.

Think what happens when we combine my track record of
success with a much larger budget in a way that everyone on
the team can take advantage of?

Well that's what the co-op is all about - shared success.

I want everyone on our team to have the opportunity to
achieve financial freedom through their business.

This ad co-op is a powerful step in that direction. (And
really . . . it get's better ever single month)

Two other big benefits of the ad co-op . . .

1. Spreading risk: By doing our advertising as a team no one
will be at the mercy of one bad ad. What I mean is . . . If
you're out there placing ads alone and you spend $80 on one
ad that just tanks your $80 in the whole. On the other hand,
if you put you ad dollars into our co-op your risk will be
spread over several ads so you will have more upside
potential and less overall risk.

2. Your prospects will love the fact that we have an
advertising co-op and many will be happy to have the option
to simply have us do all their advertising for them. This
will be a great benefit to point out while prospecting.

The specifics for this month:

What I'll do first is re-evaluate my best ad spots from
last month and then our team leaders and I will simple turn
the traffic back on and start generating traffic from these
sources immediately.

The benefit of doing this is that we already know that these
ad spots have a track record for success, so we know that
these ads will do well.

This means we'll get a higher response rate per dollar spent
from the outset. (Using our team co-op funds effectively and
efficiently is the key to our success)

Here is where it gets exciting!

This aspect of the co-op will be partially known as a
"Perpetual Co-op"

Here's why . . .

In my marketing of our business I have found that I generate
the best quality of leads and new team members through
people that join my business by buying one of my information
products first and then being exposed to the business.

These people have raised there hand and said that they are
interested in improving how they promote their network
marketing business using the power of the Internet by the
simple fact that they purchased from me.

When these people subsequently join they are business
builders and not just business lookers. Further, in
promoting an Info Product online I have been able to
generate lists of targeted subscribers that know and trust
me.

Who better to shoot a quick email to invite them to join our
team?

When I send email like this to my own lists generated by
promoting a front end product I have my highest conversion
ratio of lead to sign up compared against any other online
method I have ever used.

Why?

Because in this model instead of borrowing someone else's
list of subscriber for a one time ad I'm able to create my
own list that I can develop a relationship with and market
to whenever I want.

That's true leverage. (And it works big time!)

As a team we can do far more advertising than I can
personally do as one person and hence we can recruit many
more high quality team members than I can as one person
using this method.

The largest benefits of this is that the sales that are
generated will ADD to the initial co-op marketing budget.

That's why I call this portion of the co-op a "Perpetual Co-
op".

To make it simple:

It means more leads, better leads, and higher conversions
for everyone involved.

Let's take this to the next level!

As you can see, your team leaders are out here working hard
for you. I've personally never been involved in a co-op as
extensive as ours and this has already set us apart from the
rest of the crowd.

I am proud to be able to serve the team in such a fashion.

Everyone who participates in the ad co-op will get one share
as I discussed earlier and we will disperse the traffic
equally via a URL rotator so everyone will get an equal
amount of traffic per share.

When leads fill out your opt in page you just follow up via
email or phone with your prospect and when they sign up
under you, you get the credit!

That's using leverage if you asked me!

The reason that I am putting this co-op together is I want
to insure our team's success. As I said before I want to
help as many as I can attain financial freedom here with
Success University

Guys and gals I'm throwing out all the stops!

My heart is beating so fast just thinking of what's to come!

I will only ever see success in our future and you have my
word that I will NEVER give up on you as long as you don't
give up on your dreams.

There is absolutely NO reason why we cannot be the fastest
growing team here at Success University for years to come!

In order to make this co-op run successfully I am looking I
am putting a cap on the number of shares.

This month we will take no more than 50 shares at $80
share. Each participant may purchase up to but NO MORE THAN
THREE shares this month up until that cap is met.

This will keep results consistent and targeted by limiting
our shares in this way.

Get your share now to share in our team's success.

You may use a tracking link this month to track your
progress if you like. Also you may purchase up to 3 shares
but NO more! (Just reminding you . . .)

Use the links below to reserve your share!

[Team Exclusive] IMPORTANT!!!

I will leave our team co-op window for enrolment until all
available shares are sold or for one week at the most!

This Can Have You Scratching Your Head

By work-from-home-success.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 23 Jul 2007 20:04:00 +0000

It was a late night last night of updating and
improving and in the process of doing that it got me
thinking . . .

An online business, and even more so an internet
network marketing business, can really get you
scratching your head sometimes.

We're conditioned to think in a linear fashion. Do
this and get that result is really how we think.

Work 40 hours a week and get paid for 40 hours of
work. It's how we grew up and for most of us it's
how we were conditioned to think about our results in
life.

When it comes to business this isn't always the case,
and really most of the time it's not the case.

Business is not a linear thing.

Just yesterday I was sitting at my computer
scratching my head.

4 people joined my business directly with me as their
sponsor in the last 2 days. Not something to
complain about, after all I am the king of never
calling a single lead and that's the way things work
most of the time in my business, but this time it was
a little different.

You see during that period I had absolutely no ads
running for my business and still 4 people joined
with me as their sponsor without me having to do a
thing, meanwhile my first year in the business all
I did was prospect and call leads and nothing happened.

Why is it so easy now?

Well, once you have passive traffic coming your way
good things happen and you don't have to do
anything additional actively for those good results.

But this can get people confused. I know it did for
me for a long time. Some days would be great with
little effort and some days would be not so great
with a Herculean effort.

What the heck right?

That's business for you. It's not linear. You set it
up and once you get all the pieces in place
sometimes the results flow like the mighty Amazon and
others well just one lead would keep you going.

This shift stunts most. They still want to think that
their efforts should correlate directly to their
results and when it doesn't it frustrated the heck of
them. The best advice is settle down, know your
conversion figures, and just keep on pushing.

Let me tell you . . .

If you have a great marketing system, you're doing
the right things for generating interest in your
business via your marketing system you're on the
right track despite what the results show.

They will exceed your expectations in the long run.

Think about your business like this. It's more like
having a boat tethered to port by several ropes
than going to the J.O.B.

You may spend a huge effort getting one rope off and
you've made progress, but there is still 8 more
ropes to go and nothings moving.

You've made positive progress and you know it, just
don't let money be the only marker of your success
in the beginning.

That will come.

What if you could make a living online? How would
you're life change? What would you do? I took this
course and that dream has become a reality in my life
and because it I recommend it as a MUST have for
any truly interested. Go here now:
