Fold the semicircle of the pastry in half to form a triangular cone. Join the straight edges by pressing them hard into each other.

Deep fry the samosas until they are golden brown. Serve hot with tamarind chutney.

Email Writing Tips

July 26th, 2010 by wallcann

Email serves many different functions and the structure of that communication can be very important.

Tips for a business email

1.  ALWAYS put as first paragraph what you want the recipient to do.

Then you can expain at any length the reasons and details.

Just this simple step will increase productivity and reduce confusion.

2.  If there is no action required, please start email with For your information only. That way those you correspond with know that they will be kept informed and when they need to act.

I know this seems simple but when applied it streamlines email communication.

3.  Also make sure to keep the subject of the email relevant to the current content. Frequently in back and forth emails the subject can vary away from original email subject. This makes filing and searching more complex.

4.  Take the time to re read an email before you send.  It is amazing how a small typo can change the meaning of a message.

5.  If you are a WallCannRewards Advocate remember to include a link to your site or best selling products where relevant in your signature.  That way every email you send can be adding to your income.

Page Title Optimization

July 9th, 2010 by Sunny

We receive numerous questions about Web page title tags like:

  • “Do I need to put a different title tag on every page of my site?”
  • “What is the maximum length of a title tag?”
  • “What is the proper formatting for a title tag?”
  • “Is there a title tag limit?”

The page title is one of the key page elements that the search engine indexes and shows the end user the relevant results of the key words entered.

Eg : If a user searches for inverters as a keyword, as our page title contains inverters as a keyword, our link shows up on the search engine results page.

The correct placement for the title tag is inside the head tag within the HTML of your web page.

Example:

<head>
<title>Power Inverters - performanceshop.com.au</title>
</head>

Syntax: Your page keyword – example.com
Example: Power Inverters - performanceshop.com.au

Tips to a great page title:

  • Ensure that the keyword relevant for the page is included in the title.
  • Make sure that your page title is around 60 characters (maximum six words).
  • Do not include words such as: “and”, “the”, “a”, “to”, “for”, “of” etc. in the title.
  • If possible, each page should have a unique title.
