I think Google is facing an ethical issue over the advertising business.
Some of the highest paid keywords are online casino related. The advertisers are willing to pay $100 for a single click for such keywords.
However, Google does not endorse gambling! Adsense users are not allowed to promote gambling related products!

Absolutely, people shouldn’t judge people by the way they look!! I have 6 of them..yeah, I’m a grandma!! lol If they are done in good taste, I see nothing wrong with women/men having tattoos.

Already when someone uses the expression “ladylike,” the intention is to fit a woman into a box defined by the speaker.

Can someone passing by have an opinion about whether a tattoo is aesthetically pleasing? Absolutely! After all, why put body art where it can be seen in public unless you want to show it off?

Can the tattoo contrast sharply with its wearer’s femininity? Just as surely as a different tattoo might contrast with the masculinity of a male wearer. Is it wrong for a passer by to remark on the contrast? No more than if that person noticed a contrast between a frilly skirt and combat boots. And often the people who make such choices are hoping to elicit a strong response.

So I don’t really see anything wrong with commenting on a tattoo, even if one doesn’t care for it. But I do think that when commenting it’s more appropriate to place the emphasis on one’s own preferences, rather than to judge the owner of that tattoo or to imply she’s somehow less of a woman for being tattooed.

that is the biggest problem with Asian preception about tattoos especially on ladies or women.

People judge those with tattoos as gangsters, mafia gang, prisoners or just plainly good for nothing.

Why?

The people around them had implemented the wrong thoughts and judgement about it.
Take a look when you walk on the streets. Look at those people who stared at the tattoos, what kind of impression they had in mind.

You can see that they are trying to get away from them.

Tattoo is an art of the body. Some find is cool, fun or just a sign of being oneself.

If tattoo is bad and not ladylike, I bet Angelina Jolie would be punching those bad mouth people!

by the way, I had shared your article at FB, Twitter, etc, good post I must say

Thank you for this post. I was afraid to read it when I read the title, but you surprised me. I am so glad that there are people who look to the inside to see a person’s beauty. I personally do not have tattoos but my sister does. She has many that are in plain sight but she is one of the most honest, loyal, and caring person I know. Each of her tattoos mean something to her and that is what she got them for. I can understand that using body art as a form of expression leaves you open to people such as you encountered, but we need to put aside our own prejudices and look at them for what they are…art. So, not everyone is going to like everyone’s idea of art, but the way I see it is they are the ones wearing it not me. Great post!!!!

Thanks for all the comments in favor or against. I agree some of my titles are controversial or the matter is in indirect form but my intention is always straight 🙂

I have never been a tattoo lover ever. They don’t give me that good feeling. Unlike some people tattoos are like part of their lives without them they would feel incomplete. I guess it’s just a way of identifying one self. Tattoos have their own people, for me be it a woman or a man I just don’t like tattoos in them. Okay I must say there are those that look nice if they are small, but there are those that ar3 huge and they make someone’s body look like some jungle. For womae tattos are just not the thing to go for it makes you look like some one who is not serious with life you actually just look like a joker. I wonder if a serious man came along and says they want to have a relationship with you and you have your body tattoed all over would be take you seriously? I don’t think so. If people have to put tattoes on their bodies let them have a good meaning to it don’t just tattoo for the sake of or because you friend has done. Let it have a purpose.

If you don’t mind a bit of honest feedback, I’d like to suggest that you look at the disparity between your title and your content. If this post is exemplary of most of your writing, it could offer a clue to the lower traffic.

your title promises a discussion of increasing traffic on LiteracyBase, and indeed you’ve placed the post in the “About LiteracyBase” category. This would suggest the post will be a discussion of traffic to the site in general, and not traffic to your posts only.

The reader will likely come to your post hoping for some suggestions about how to increase traffic to the site, but what we find is a personal journal that rambles between discussing your own reduced stats and something you call adversity quotient. This is the kind of content that will not only create a drop in traffic, but increased bounce rates and even “pogo sticking.”

I would suggest that you try to get a better match between your title/category and content, to reduce the potential of reader disappointment. It’s a simple thing to fix, and will hopefully improve your readership.

@Kyla Matton Osborne (Ruby3881) I do not wish to sound rude to site owners (and to you) but the fact is there is no view through social media sharing. Try it and then come for a discussion. Thanks all the same.

honestly, I also thought that you would be suggesting for some ideas how to increase the viewership, that is why I came to read your article.
Maybe I had mistaken.
Just my thoughts, I had an increased of viewship since I started to share my post url at FB, Twitter, GooglePlus, Pinterest, Stumbleupon, Linkedin, Tumblr, TSu and DIGG.

So you see, it takes a LOT of TROUBLE to get those little pennies to become a mountain in order
Followers are like cats, you feed them, they follow you.
Cheers!!

We do not know how many views our articles are getting.
If the traffic comes from Google, and you have 1000 views a day, you will not know about it.
Only the earnings from referred visitors are paid to you.
Those who are not “referred” by you, and who come from search engines are not paid to you.

Not in my case as there are no buttons visible on my posts apart from the share buttons which in my cases are not working that prompted me to write this post. And all the IQ and AQ stuff was to make things light only.

I think any person who experiences domestic violence feels vulnerable, ashamed, afraid of what might come next. Yes, it is true that men are even less likely to report abuse than women in a similar situation. And even more importantly, there are far fewer services set up to help men who need support and shelter.

One thing we can do in our efforts to raise awareness is to avoid “us and them” style comparisons, mentions of feminism or misogyny, and any appearance of a sour grapes approach to the topic. The goal should be to increase and awareness for men, rather than to further pit men against women.

Yes it is not easy for anyone be it a man or a woman to go out in public and report that they have been abused. Usually you will find that the man or woman will be quiet about and just suffer silently, but that should be th3 case. Because there are some people who are just outright abusers and they should be caught and jailed. If you do not report them then they continue abusing their victims and may also abuse others. In my country cases of men started coming out in the open about them being abused, and some people laughed while others were actually moved and applauded the move. As the cases started growing people took more interest and it turned out that man just suffer the same ordeals that women also go through. So a guy came up with a can I call it a forum or platform where men could find a place of refuge and report their cases. To tell you the truth it was so hard for the man to come forward very few did so but the others thought it was best to just keep to themselves than bringing shame to themselves. But it shouldn’t come out as a shameful act, man shouldn’t feel embarassed coz they are the once suffering.

You say both right, somewhere men are abused and somewhere women are abused, we must think where is the root of evil in our society? So that we could uproot the real evil root from our society. I think poverty is basic problem in our society and I see most of the domestic problem start with poverty.

Lenin used to say, You, abolish poverty, social evils will end traumatically from every societies on earth” Political and social instability in any country is produced by the rich politicians knowingly.

As you see after getting degree men and women do not get hob what they will do in future from they will feed their children and selves, just one way remains is crime or looting someone and and woman has one to sell out her chastity in open market.

I say our social and political structures both are corrupt in every country.

My dear friend, keep in mind that there are 90 per cent people who spend their lives in praising others and not what is their aim of live and thus they waste their lives praising celebrities.

English and Psychology teacher Melanie Lindsey also thinks that praising certain celebrities is unnecessary and is negative for girls to spend time on.As for the role models for young men, Lindsey believes that society influences them rather than celebrities in the media who can have a negative influence.

I believe celebrities can have a role in helping raise awareness around mental health but there has to be proportionality; let’s promote the people already speaking out and encourage everyone with experience of mental health difficulties – whether they have recovered or not – to contribute to the discussion and educate the public about the true reality of living with a mental health difficulty, the good, the bad and the ugly.

I admire both Priyanka Chopra and Cate Blanchett. But I would have never out the two of them side by side to compare.

Blessing us for Priyanka Chopra and Cate Blanchett that they are working together in the film> I will cal it the Indo-USA gathering for mutual understanding purpose.

Priyanka Chopra turned heads in a figure-hugging Zuhair Murad dress. The Quantico star, who is also a presenter at the event, completed the look with matching clutch.

It is Priyanka Chopra’s luck was selected for dress play it will enhance her fame and wealth through contract of different dress making companies all over the world.

Bollywood films. Essentially, without Chopra to round out the ranks of these action queens, any girl-powered Ocean’s Eleven reboot would probably just be trash.

So, get to work, Hollywood. Don’t be trash. Do right by all of us and get Chopra on your call sheet and stat.
