The title says it all. I tried to think of something catchy for this
entry, but alas, it is what it is. No matter how straightforward the
title is, the subject is a bit more complex. If images are obtained
improperly, you could be facing hefty legal fees.
For example, a few of our customers have gone to Google Images, searched
for an image they liked, saved it to their computer, and then added it
to a blog entry. A few months later, each of them received a letter from
a law firm demanding thousands in fees for the unauthorized image.
Unfortunately, there are little options for these users. You can fight
it in court, or pay the fee. The image providers know that the latter is
usually cheaper.

Throttling It Up to 110%
From my dad to coaches and everyone in between would tell me to give
110%. Being rooted in logic and mathematical numbers, I always thought
how can you give more than 100% when 100% is all you have?
I was a huge Space Shuttle fan. I watched every launch, knew every detail, and even tried to become an astronaut until they told me that being 6’5” tall pretty much ruled that out. One of the things that has continued to intrigue me about the Space Shuttle was that it normally operated at 104.5% power and even as high as 111% in emergencies. How could these super smart rocket scientists get it wrong and allow something to do more than what it could do? Was I missing something?

Why Anchor Text is Important
What is Anchor Text?
Anchor text is the part of the hyperlink that seen by a visitor on a website (the clickable text). For this example, the html code will be www.website.com and the anchor text will look like anchor text.
So this html code:
<a href="http://www.website.com">anchor text</a>
Will be seen as anchor text.
What Anchor Text Does
Google and other search engines count each link as a vote for the linked to website by the linked from site. Looking at all components of a link from a website will provide better insight about the vote being cast. Google basically uses anchor text as a vote for a webpage, but what is the vote for? Anchor text represent the actual vote. You’re saying that you’re voting for the site because the site embodies (what you put in your anchor text).
