A Spanish Life - Frigiliana

Nerja continues to be one of the top destinations for holiday rentals according to Spanish Internet searches, and Trip Advisor, the largest travel website in the world.

Moving to another country is a big decision. It certainly was for me and my family back in the seventies. Just recently though a certain Yorkshireman, his wife and daughter, decided to uproot and go for it!

They came to Nerja, in Spain.

Many books have been written on the subject, of throwing caution to the wind, and moving abroad, and each one is a personal account of their author’s successes or failures. But most times, they are full of charming, often humorous and sometimes catastrophic tales of what eventually went right, despite all the trials and tribulations along the way!

One such story has just been published by Steve Terry and is called “Me, Miguel and the Bear”.

An interesting title, that can only be deciphered by buying the book and reading an entertaining and true story of Steve and his family moving from Yorkshire to Nerja, in Spain.

The book can be purchased online at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Me-Miguel-Bear-Andalucian-Adventure/dp/1470056704/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336318832&sr=8-1#reader_1470056704

The Spanish government has decided to revert back to the original way in which a foreigner may apply for an NIE number in Spain. Last December, the government ruled that all applications have to be made in person, and can no longer be applied for by a legal representative with a notarized power of attorney.

An official communication form the Spanish Ministry of the Interior on 13th April 2012 now states that an NIE number CAN be applied for by that person’s legal representative.

This is both a logical decision and a boost for the Spanish property market, given that by making it difficult to obtain this document, it was causing further harm to the property market in general and stopping lawyers from doing their job in representing their clients in a property purchase.

From a practical point of view, it saves hours of queuing at the local Police station and further visits to collect the document when issued.

For more information about NIE numbers, please see our Buyers Guide to a property in Spain: http://www.leadingpropertygroupspain.com/en/services/guide-purchasing-spain/

Thousands of unsold tickets to the summer Olympics in London are available for purchase on a Spanish website as from today.

Tickets are available for various sports including swimming, gymnastics and athletics. The tickets were originally for sale in Britain through Fnac stores but thousands have been left unsold.

With less than 100 days to go to the opening and given that they are now freely available they should sell fast. So, of you were looking for tickets, here’s your chance: http://www.leadingpropertygroupspain.com/en/2012/04/london-summer-olympics-tickets-for-sale-in-spain-on-the-internet/

Hi,

My name is Darren and I work in SEO, I have worked in this industry for many years and have recently been offering my services on a freelance basis out of my normal working hours. I have had really good success due to offering the complete package. I offer a full documented strategy for onsite works that need to be addressed and then I offer an offsite linking strategy that is month by month so no contracts etc to tie you in, if you don’t think what I am doing is working then you don’t pay? It really is as simple as that.

What can I help you with?

Onsite SEO
Keyword Analysis
Web Page Layout
Internal Linking Strategy

Quality Link Building
Themed Links
High Pr Links
Social Bookmarking Links
Profile Links
.EDU links
.Gov Links

Social Media
Facebook
Twitter
Linkedin
Google +

And much more besides that will bring your site up to speed with what is required to compete on page 1 Google.
The price for my services are very straight forward which in SEO terms is unheard of I know, however I am of the belief that SEO is SEO so should be priced the same no matter what the site or industry and the only difference in price should be the offsite due to certain search terms being more competitive and therefore needing more links and links of a better quality. Therefore I am offering a set up of £350 and an optional monthly that starts from £125 for 5 search terms.
If you would like more information or would like to take advantage of my great offer please either email me on blewmoonltd@gmail.com or phone me on 00 44 (0) 7725 626 439

Kindest Regards

Darren Horsham

Hi,

My name is Darren Horsham and I am an SEO expert based in the UK. I have many clients overseas that I promote for many different industries and was asked to put my details on this site in the hope that I may be able to work with some of you who may have been caught out by the economic downturn the world is facing. I would like to help get your websites performing better on Google for your best search terms and will work out a cost effective way to do this for you.

We are on Page1 Google ourselves for around 1000 keywords which include being #1 on Google for “Optimisation”!

Some of our clients Page1 examples are;

Ski Chalets www.skichalets.co.uk
Sailing Holidays www.trinitysailing.co.uk
Fire Alarms www.firesystems.co.uk
Villa Holidays www.premier-holidays.com
Spanish Villas www.prestigevillasspain.com
Snooker Cues www.johnparrottcuesports.co.uk
Edging www.everedge.co.uk
Private Jets www.privatejetcharter.com
Brooches www.broochesstore.com

This is just a very small selection of our Page1 examples for clients so do please contact me if you would like an endless list of references and Page1 examples.

I have successfully promoted many sites in many different industries in the UK and around the world to page 1 Google which is where over 96% of all UK searches are carried out. I am now looking for someone in your industry to assist with promoting to page 1 and noticed that there are a few areas that we can deffinately assist you with to gain better rankings.

Having been around since October 2004 we have seen most things in this industry and have worked with some of the biggest companies out there such as the Financial Times and 888.com to small one person outfits such as Brooches Store. Over this time optimisation has changed massively and will continue to do so which is why so many companies now entrust their online promotion to a good optimisation team. We do not outsource any work as we feel that all the skills we have honed over the years are better put in to action in our offices so we can easily monitor the quality to ensure the client gets the very best out of the campaign from day one!

We are very transparent and will never use the term “behind the scenes” which is what some of our new customers have said about previous campaigns when they have asked for what work is or has been done. All the work we carry out you can easily see which also means Google can easily see so will have a more profound effect on the results which at the end of the day is what we are striving for. We offer monthly reports on positions, traffic and all links that have been sourced for you and your account manager is always on hand to discuss these reports and the campaign in general at anytime that suits you.

Our ethos is simple, we offer up to date onsite SEO techniques coupled with the very latest innovative offsite linking campaigns that are not only site friendly but just as important they are Google friendly.

We work in every industry and also work in extremely competitive markets such as Gambling and Finance and we find that the success we bring to our clients is born out of using the very best techniques and seriously hard graft with no stone unturned no matter how insignificant we feel it may be. Sometimes it is the small things that have the biggest impact.

What we do:

Onsite

Full website analysis identifying weak areas in site
Identify the best web pages to target for selected keywords
Title tags and headers implemented targeting selected key terms
Google PPC account created using a spend of at least £50 targeting at least 10 search terms
Google webmaster account creation (if not one already)
Google analytics installed
Google Sitemap

External works done for setup
350x Social Bookmarks
200x Wiki Article Backlinks
1000x DoFollow Backlinks
150x Edu Backlinks
5000x TrackBacks
Links Explained
1. Do-Follow Website Comments - which are on Do-Follow Websites, all comments are approved and link back to yoursite.

2. Social Bookmarks - has a wide range of PR starting from PR-0 right up till PR-8, all are live links and tell a bit about your company for others to read.

3. Wiki Articles back-links is a self hosted page, we have created unique accounts on wiki sites which are all dofollow, uploaded an article that's relevant and back-linked back to your website.

4. Edu Back-links - as some would call the holy grail in back-links is extremely hard to find as these links are from education colleagues and government websites, we go through through 1000's of links to get live approved website comments linked back to your website.

5. Trackbacks - is another form of a back link, every time a Trackback is made it indicates to the other site and Google that a link has been made, these are quickly picked up and given credit to your website. The links are mixed between do-follow and no-follow even tho everyone wants do-follow we make it natural as possible when link building.

All links made are live, checked and verified, full range of PR, full range of Do-Dollow & No-Follow. All Links made from different ip addresses
We also offer excellent link packages which we have found to give great results for our site and more importantly our clients sites should you not require a full SEO package.

I welcome your thoughts on the above,

Kind Regards

If you’d like to become a winner, you’re not alone. Winners are the icing on the cake of society, the cherry in the cocktail of life and overall just the coolest people on earth.
But what is a “winner”, actually? Is Bill Gates a winner? How about Mother Theresa? Or Gandhi? What about Vincent van Gogh, who hardly sold any paintings during his life time? Can you be declared a winner in retrospect? And who declares the winners in the first place?
Ah… hold on. I think we may finally have found the right question: Who declares the winners?
Is it God? Does he point his finger to draw a line between winners and losers? Or maybe it’s a highly regarded group of success gurus who make the decision? Do they publish a list of winners online? And do you have to buy their training course to earn your winner badge?
What about your friends? Surely, what they think of you must be right? But what if you find new friends who think differently?
The one with the right to judge you
Darn… this is getting complicated. We might actually have to stop asking questions and start facing the truth. You might have to accept the harsh reality that there’s only one single person who has all the power to decide whether you’re a winner or not. Someone who can determine your fate, who has the right to judge you and who can change your life with his or her thoughts alone.
It’s you, of course. Which really doesn’t make things any easier. I mean, what are you supposed to think of yourself? Who tells you what you should think? Is it God? Or maybe a group of highly regarded — ok, let’s not go through all that again.
The bottom line is this: It’s all on you. You’re the only one who gets to decide and nobody else has the power to “help” you with your decision.
By now, we realise that our starting question doesn’t quite fit. “Are you a winner?” isn’t really a question anyone can answer. Why don’t we replace it with “Do you feel like a winner?”. If you’re the only who gets a say in this anyway, then your feelings and thoughts are all that matters, aren’t they?
So, do you feel like a winner? I certainly do. Sometimes. At other times, I feel like a total failure: weak, vulnerable and helpless.
My guess is that you’re like me. I think that you try to think well of yourself, and often succeed — but not always.
How to feel like a winner
To help you feel like a winner more often, I’d like to show you a little exercise that has helped me personally a lot. In order to do so, I’ll build on the exercise that Douglas Cartwright has suggested for changing the way we look at problems.
Here’s what to do:
Step 1:
In writing, make a list of your successes in life. Start with your childhood. How you learned
to swim, or to ride a bike. Then work your way up to today. Your first kiss, your high-school
graduation. The first job. Your first promotion. You get the picture.
Steps 2 – 1,000,000:
From now on, every time you experience a new success, read through the whole list again. Then
add the new success to the list.
This activity shifts your thinking significantly. Instead of registering your successes as isolated events, your mind will start to interlink them.
As a result, you don’t just think “Wow, I’ve achieved a success” whenever you have a success-experience. Instead, you think “Wow, I’m a successful person” — a winner.

Your Guide to Spanish Inheritance tax.

Your Guide to Spanish Inheritance tax.

A Guide to Spanish Inheritance tax,

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

You may be aware of this already, but it’s something many people who own property in Spain don’t know.

It’s about the taxes payable when an owner of property in Spain passes away.

If you have ever wondered about the details of inheritance tax, it’s simply this:

Your hard earned legacy may have to be sold off to pay crippling tax bills when you pass away?

Spanish Inheritance tax, death duties , legal fees - up to 40% .

So, right now, can you be absolutely sure that those you leave behind will have the money to cover those costs?

Of course we would all prefer our children and grandchildren to enjoy the property we’ve worked so hard to own, and not be forced to sell it to cover onerous tax demands.

Equally as worrying, did you know that in the UK system of IHT, a husband or wife is usually an exempt beneficiary?

But in the Spanish system...

Your husband or wife will not be exempt from Spanish Inheritance Tax.

It's a sobering thought, isn't it?

For a Fuller explanation
http://www.spain-info.co.uk/Spanish-Inheritance-Tax.htm

My wife bought a book from Amazon.co.uk, brilliant, its a single ladies view of being single in her 20s, 30s, 40s, and 50s. Title "Another one bites the dust" by Wendy Bolton-Williams, check it out, we both laughed out loud, true story.
