Heel That Pain Affiliates: What is Plantar Fasciitis?

I want to take this blog opportunity to explain what plantar fasciitis is since Heel That Pain heel seats treats it as well as all forms of heel pains.

Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about it:

Plantar fasciitis is a painful inflammatory condition of the foot caused by excessive wear to the plantar fascia or plantar aponeurosis that supports the arches of the foot or by biomechanical faults that cause abnormal pronation. The pain usually is felt on the underside of the heel, and is often most intense with the first steps of the day. It is commonly associated with long periods of weight bearing or sudden changes in weight bearing or activity. Jobs that require a lot of walking on hard surfaces, shoes with little or no arch support, a sudden increase in weight and over activity are also associated with the condition.

Plantar fasciitis was formerly called “a dog’s heel” in the United Kingdom. It is sometimes known as “flip-flop disease” among US podiatrists. The condition often results in a heel spur on the calcaneus, in which case it is the underlying condition, and not the spur itself, which produces the pain.

With treatment plantar fasciitis can be alivieated. Heel That Pain incerts are 99.7% successful in treatment of plantar fasciitis. So start your PPC campaigns (I’m sure that information above gave you some keywork ideas) get your links, banners, reviews, etc up now.

Lacrosse.com Teams Up with the HEADstrong Foundation

Lacrosse.com/HEADstrong

 

 Nicholas “Head” Colleluori was the founder of the HEADstrong Foundation, and a Lymphoma victim. In November of 2006, he finally lost his battle with the disease, but not until he had inspired hundreds and thousands of people both in and out of the lacrosse community. As a Division I lacrosse player for Hofstra University, he defined what it meant to be “Relentless” both on and off the field. He counselled other patients after his diagnosis, and he never stopped being active in workouts. He even played a final game in August 2006, just months prior to his death. This determination to never give up lives on in the HEADstrong Foundation.

 

Lacrosse.com has now teamed up with HEADstrong to help raise money for cancer awareness and research by offering a whole line of HEADstrong products from Brine and Great Atlantic. These products include limited edition sticks, gloves and heads, as well as the “Relentless” HEADstrong t-shirt for which Lacrosse.com will donate 100% of the sales to the Foundation.

 

Affiliates: This is a great opportunity to promote products that will go to support a great cause. For more information, check out the full HEADstrong line at Lacrosse.com, as well as the HEADstrong foundation site.

New mgecom Logo

I am very happy to announce that mgecom, inc. is now using our newly designed corporate logo!  After 3 years of using the original logo we designed when the company was started in 2006, I thought it was time for an upgrade.  I’m happy with how it has turned out, and I have to say that the sign we have in the building lobby on a black background with raised lettering looks really good.  Next up: redesigning the business cards.

mgecom managed programs listed with AffiliatePrograms.com

Many people choose to become affiliate marketers because it’s a concrete way to set up a successful stream of revenue in addition to their regular career. And many of these people quickly realize that, the more effort they put into that separate source of income, the more potential it has to earn them real money.

As marketers get more serious about their affiliate programs, they start to strategize their websites around marketing niches, and they get smarter about the programs they choose and how they market them.

One of the key lessons to be learned in creating a successful affiliate marketing game plan is communication. It’s one thing to set up a program on a website and market it to consumers; it’s another thing to engage in a productive, proactive communication channel with the affiliate program itself to make sure you’re getting the most out of your relationship. It doesn’t take a whole lot of time to accomplish this, but it does take a bit of effort, plus the willingness to reach a bit further to realize your goals.

That’s why affiliate marketing directories like AffiliatePrograms.com are so important. AffiliatePrograms.com provides the crucial link between affiliate programs and marketers, plus a chance to get together and rate various programs and become educated about the best way to employ them. And for those affiliate marketers who are really serious about success, AffiliatePrograms.com offers a great collection of educational and promotional tools.

What’s more, AffiliatePrograms.com pre-screens and verifies all listings to help ensure quality. So, not only do you get an open channel of communication to the programs, but you can rest assured that the programs themselves have been approved by people who know the ins and outs of affiliate marketing.
