The simple reason           for this might be that they don't know you even exist. The most efficient           way (we have found) to get noticed is to place a simple xml sitemap           onto your site and then physically submit the page(s) to the major players.           (You have to make sure you do this correctly otherwise you might compound           your problem!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;                                                                      &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1188036321820364058&amp;amp;postID=1021594510692761736" id="1" name="1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                                        &lt;img align="left" alt="spider" src="http://ukoptimisation.com/page1_files/spider.gif" /&gt; &lt;b&gt;Site Map Creation &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;£2.50&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sitemap Service for £2.50 - site map generator&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we have received your payment we will send you a zip file (which you need to unzip) with all the site map files/images you need to upload to your server.

Fans are charged with the ability to determine who moves into the featured slots and who gets the bigger money prizes (over $500 each for featured Artists).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;The band equity charts are a great concept (points gained are based on track plays, visits, hits etc.) these scores are used to divide and share advertising revenue between the artists and ReverbNation, which to me seems a radical idea. Is this idea unique and do you think it is sustainable in the long term?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Band Equity is a score that attempts to gauge the 'brand value' of an artist at any given point in time. Band Equity looks at 4 factors of an Artist:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Reach: How many people are being touched by the music? All else equal, the Artist that reaches more people should score higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Influence: Of those people, how many engage with the music, listen to the whole song, come back for more, etc? All else equal, the Artist that engages fans more deeply should score higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Recency: How recent are the interactions? All else equal, the Artist that has reached and engaged their fans more recently should score higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Access: What % of your fans is the Artist engaging with? All else equal, the Artist that engages a higher % of fans should score higher.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We devised this metric to more 'holistically' understand Artists the board. It IS ENTIRELY UNIQUE to ReverbNation - we Invented it! We do think that is holds water for many Artists out there, but it isn't perfect by any means. Band Equity Scores have undergone more than a dozen refinements over the course of the introduction of the metric. We will continue to commit to it as a standard for measuring Artists in terms of their brand value going forward and hope that others adopt it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Playlist 7 is a fantastic way for consumers to download free music via the Internet. With the collapse of the 'traditional' music industry monopoly, the independent artist has been able to take more control regarding recording and distributing their work. Do you think the business model of the 'Sponsored Song', with its embedded advertising is the future of the (download) music industry and do you think paying for tracks via iTunes, Amazon etc. will become a thing of the past?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Music retailing will never become obsolete. People will always trust retailers to deliver music to them. We hope that the concept of embedding adverts inside the download will play a big role in the future of ad-supported music. We even filed a patent on it. But the future of music is likely to be fragmented. As a result, the future of music consumption will be dominated by a large variety of models that provide for it. Embedding adverts into the album art is likely to be just one of them.&lt;iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=m4trprodu-20&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;amp;l=bpl&amp;amp;asins=B002UISB9M&amp;amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;m=amazon&amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;amp;bc1=000000&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;f=ifr" style="height: 245px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 131px;"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;ReverbNation have without doubt the best toolbox for the independent artist; the ability to control songs, newsletters, fans, merchandising and distribution from one place is second to none. What do you think the future of ReverbNation will be and what are the ultimate goals?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Our goal is to provide ALL of the solutions that an Artist needs to compete, cooperate, and differentiate in the new music environment. We are on our way to providing that now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;I have noticed that more mainstream and more well know artists have appeared on ReverbNation - this is in many ways a double edged sword. Do you think the influx of established 'stars' will alter the philosophy of the site (which appears to be - to enable and support the independent artist) or are you confident that your strategies are robust enough to cope with the change?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;ReverbNation is agnostic to the 'type' of Artist that uses our system. We want to build the best solutions and let anyone who wants them come and use them. We approach every feature with an 'Artist First' mentality. That is to say that we don't build anything that doesn't first help the Artist. Whether its an indie Artist or an established Artists, we don't really care. We are building for a future where every Artist has a fair shake, and our tools serve them equally. If more established Artists want to use our tools, so be it. We are here for every Artist who wants to take control of their future. That's what makes us different. We don't have an angle per se. We just focus on building great technology for everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;Questions by&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thiswindow.org/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/data_public/photo/image/49/498876/R-150-1005117-1183400653.jpg" style="height: 56px; width: 75px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1188036321820364058-6223417079549437517?l=www.outsiderinternet.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.outsiderinternet.com/2009/12/reverbnation-and-windows-future-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Uk Optimisation.com)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188036321820364058.post-5637460860769226152</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Dec 2009 07:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-12-15T23:36:28.525-08:00</atom:updated><title>Romantic Novelists’ Association - Veronica Henry</title><description>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://veronicahenry.co.uk/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://veronicahenry.co.uk/images/soho1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="entry"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0752889834?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=veronicahenry-21&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1634&amp;amp;creative=19450&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0752889834" target="_blank"&gt;‘Marriage                  and Other Games’&lt;/a&gt; has been listed in the final top 20 for a literary award.

There’s Sebastian, bad boy of the British art scene, determined to drink the local pub dry while his wife lives it up in London. Then Fitch, who married the high-spirited Hayley thinking he would find wedded bliss, but is struggling to keep up with her outrageous demands. And finally Penny, recently divorced and quietly determined to have more fun second time around - but who with? As Charlotte adapts to a life without LK Bennett and Starbucks on the doorstep, she turns to her newfound friends for advice. Can she find it in her heart to forgive her husband for what he did?

You could say, "These guys rock" - it would be true but it would probably give the wrong impression and would be a very unimaginative response to their craft....(pause). Below is an email interview with Martin Bowes of Attrition which appears on &lt;a href="http://www.systemculture.org/"&gt;SystemCulture.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some of your early releases were on labels like IRRE Tapes and EE Tapes, these labels were part of the DIY cassette movement. This was an important network for us (one my favourite cassette labels at the time was Insane Music, who were the first to give us a release). Do you think this (postal) network was important to independent artists at the time and that MySpace et al have become the natural siblings or are they totally different?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;The whole cassette network was very important... really tied in with the fanzine net work we had at the same time...(i used to run a fanzine called Alternative Sounds myself from 1979-81...until ATTRITION took over my full attention!...) Cassettes were a really good way to get your music out to people without the vast expense of pressing records... you could make up as many as you wanted and they were so cheap to mail out etc.... they really helped a lot of artsists like ourselves.... and became big for a while with some excellent quality releases...and they were taken seriously by the press and record stores.... our first cassette releases sold many hundred copies.......&lt;br /&gt;CDR's took over from cassettes for a while but nowadays the internet has replaced a lot of the networking tools like fanzines and cassettes.... although the internet is an amazing too...i cannot even imagine how we managed to organise anything with out it now!.... at the same time we have been flooded with....well DATA.... there is TOO MUCH information around.... and it can be hard to keep your head above that....&lt;br /&gt;its almost like we need something again to stand out.... perhaps cassettes?... :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;You are one of the most prolific independent artist I know; it must be really hard work to keep producing releases with such high (quality) standards. Is it getting easier?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;I never think i am all that prolific...we have put out a LOT of albums...it's slowed a little recently as i've got so involved with reissuing material through our own Two Gods label....&lt;br /&gt;I don't think it is EVER any easier to make and release music.... but that is the magic of it isnt it.... chasing the elusive....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.11NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNDk2NDU2MTc*ODkmcHQ9MTI*OTY*NTYyMDI3NyZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9bXVzaWNfcGxheWVyX2ZpcnN*X2dlbiZnPTEmb2Y9MA==.gif" width="0" border="0" height="0" /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/15/widgetPlayer.swf?emailPlaylist=artist_464926&amp;amp;backgroundcolor=EEEEEE&amp;amp;font_color=000000&amp;amp;posted_by=artist_204719&amp;amp;shuffle=&amp;amp;autoPlay=false" width="434" height="228"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/15/464926/Artist/204719/Artist/link"&gt;&lt;img alt="ATTRITION" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/content/15/footer.png" width="434" border="0" height="19" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.systemculture.org/search?q=attrition&amp;amp;submit=search"&gt;Read more...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:78%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;975rawpezh&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1188036321820364058-8647818210042444957?l=www.outsiderinternet.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.outsiderinternet.com/2009/09/martin-bowes-of-attrition.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Uk Optimisation.com)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188036321820364058.post-7053635537741573358</guid><pubDate>Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:29:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-02T01:37:10.303-07:00</atom:updated><title>The flood gates will open</title><description>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.outsiderinternet.com/" target="blank" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2386/2033965867_0d7978879e_m.jpg" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 0pt; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/m4tr/2033965867/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/m4tr/"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;While it's generally acknowledged that there are many benefits to using Internet technology to enhance business processes, many smaller organizations are put off the whole idea as it's perceived as too difficult or too expensive to set up and maintain.

Austin Reed. All interviews are published unedited and first appeared on &lt;a href="http://www.systemculture.org/" target="_blank"&gt;SystemCulture.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have visited &lt;a href="http://www.systemculture.org/" target="_blank"&gt;SystemCulture.org&lt;/a&gt; before, you will have gathered by now, we are partial to analog synth pulses. These tracks are... it is early morning here and the mist is rolling in off the sea, enveloping the sand, the luscious damp hills and the rooftops below. We are being wrapped gently in a cloud like blanket. 'Let Go'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I really love your tracks - how did you get into making music? &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;ONE DAY, MY FRIEND, A.J., AND I WERE GOOFIN' OFF IN HIS ROOM WITH A SAMPLE LOOP FROM A 95-SOUTH SONG AND A YAMAHA KEYBOARD.  WE RECORDED THE JAM SESSION ON TAPE, WHICH I USED TO AUDITION MY WAY INTO MY FIRST INDIE RECORD LABEL, F.L.A. RECORDS.  THAT'S PRETTY MUCH HOW MY LIFE AS A PRODUCER BEGAN...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How would you describe the type of music you create?  &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;DON'T.  I JUST LET GOD BE THE PRODUCER WHILE HE LET'S ME BE HIS INSTRUMENT.  WHATEVER TYPE OF MUSIC COMES OUT AFTERWARDS...WELL, I LEAVE THAT TO THE GENRE CREATORS TO DECIDE.  THERE ARE SO MANY MUSIC GENRES BEING GENERATED OUT THERE NOWADAYS THAT I GET MIGRAINES EVERY TIME I SCROLL THROUGH THE A-Z's OF MUSIC TYPES.  I FIGURE, "WHY EVEN BOTHER?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What are your future plans - releases, live work?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;CURRENTLY, I'M WORKING ON NEGOTIATING SHOW DATES FOR A FEW VENUES IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA.  AS WELL, I'M IN POST-PRODUCTION WITH MY DEBUT ALBUM, "THE 3 A.M. SESSIONS,"  A COLLECTIVE OF SONGS I'VE DONE OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS.  I'M ALSO COLLABORATING ON PROJECTS WITH A FEW AWESOME LOCAL ARTISTS IN THE ORLANDO AREA (CORROSIVE, 949, WAX MURDERERZ, LETHALITY SCALE, AND CMONGROOVES) AND ALSO WITH JEFF STODDARD OF ROUGHHAUSEN, WHO WILL BE DOING A REMIX ON ONE OF MY SONGS, ENTITLED "A SLAVE LIKE YOU."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Who has been the most inspirational person for you?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;TWO PEOPLE, REALLY.  AS A PRODUCER...ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS, AJA LORRAINE.  EVERY TIME WE'VE GOTTEN IN THE STUDIO TOGETHER, THE CHEMISTRY HAS BEEN EXPLOSIVE TO THE POINT OF ME GETTING CHILLS AND FEELING LIKE I'VE TAKEN A HIT OF ECSTASY.  NOBODY ELSE HAS EVER MADE ME FEEL SO AMPED AS A PRODUCER.  NOT ONLY THAT, BUT OUT OF EVERYONE I WAS SURROUNDED BY, SHE WAS THE ONLY PERSON TO REALLY ENCOURAGE ME TO KEEP PUMPING OUT WHAT SHE CONSIDERED "MY CRAZY ASS, DARK, VAMPIRE MUSIC..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AS A TEACHER...MY LI'L BROTHER, CALVIN "BIG BOSS CD" DURAND.  HE INSPIRED ME TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE MECHANICS OF PRODUCTION AND ENGINEERING SO THAT I COULD TEACH NOT ONLY HIM, BUT ANY OTHER HUNGRY ARTIST THAT HAS THE DESIRE TO LEARN HOW TO PRODUCE MUSIC ON THEIR OWN.  THERE'S NO GREATER REWARD THAN GIVING BACK GIFTS THAT I'VE BEEN GIVEN...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;What comes first when you create a track, the words or music?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;THE MUSIC, BABY...THE MUSIC...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;How does boxing fit in?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;IT DOESN'T.  NOT ANYMORE.  UNFORTUNATELY, A JOB-RELATED INJURY PUT AN END TO MY CAREER...BUT IF YOU EVER WANNA GET BEAT UP BY A GIRL, LEMME KNOW!!!  I HAVE A HELLACIOUS LEFT HOOK THAT'LL PUT YOU RIGHT TO SLEEP, NO PROBLEM!!!  8)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Questions by &lt;a href="http://www.thiswindow.org/store.html" target="_blank"&gt;This Window&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNTAwNTg3ODQ5NDImcHQ9MTI1MDA1ODc5MDQxNyZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9bXVzaWNfcGxheWVyX2ZpcnN*X2dlbiZnPTEmbz1lMWFjNTUzYWY2ZTM*ZDYxOGM3N2U3MTk*NjI4NzA*MSZvZj*w.gif" width="0" border="0" height="0" /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/swf/15/widgetPlayer.swf?emailPlaylist=artist_257076&amp;amp;backgroundcolor=EEEEEE&amp;amp;font_color=000000&amp;amp;posted_by=artist_204719&amp;amp;shuffle=&amp;amp;autoPlay=false" width="434" height="228"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/15/257076/Artist/204719/Artist/link"&gt;&lt;img alt="T.%20AUSTIN%20REED" src="http://cache.reverbnation.com/widgets/content/15/footer.png" width="434" border="0" height="19" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://www.reverbnation.com/widgets/trk/15/artist_257076/artist_204719/t.gif" width="0" border="0" height="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none;" alt="Quantcast" width="1" border="0" height="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none;" alt="Quantcast" width="1" border="0" height="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;These are beautifully produced tracks, the fragile vocals (sometimes like whispers) purr and seduce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our house is completely swathed in an ethereal fog and the seagulls are calling over 'Dragons I Have Slain'. This is the beginnings of a great day.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;T. Austin Reed said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-style: italic;"&gt;Though T. Austin Reed's roots stem from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the essence of her music often features diversities of a worldwide flavor. From Electronica to Dark Wave to Hip-Hop, R&amp;amp;B and Rock, this Producer/Artist/Performer refuses to limit her creative ability within the confines of any one particular genre. She'll be quick to say, "I don't live in a box. Neither does my music." With the exception of brief training in classical piano by Monette Sudler and the late John Gilmore (of Sun Ra and His Arkestra), T. Austin is a self-taught composer who loves to defy stereotypical images that have overshadowed females within the Music Industry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I used to watch guys come into studios and walk past me like I didn't exist," she'll admit. "Some even thought I was just another studio whore. But after I'd get pointed out as being a producer, I could see their attitudes change...And so would mine. I never enjoyed moments like those, but they happened all the time. Not anymore."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current projects include collaborations with 949, Aja Lorraine, Ty Showers, Wax Murdererz, Ladder, and Jay Sparxx. Stay tuned. This is only the beginning...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit their page&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNTAwNTg5NDA4NTMmcHQ9MTI1MDA1ODk*NDkwNSZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9YmFubmVyX2ZpcnN*X2dlbiZnPTEmbz1lMWFjNTUzYWY2ZTM*ZDYxOGM3N2U3MTk*NjI4NzA*MSZvZj*w.gif" width="0" border="0" height="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/16/257076/Artist/204719/Artist/link"&gt;&lt;img alt="T.%20AUSTIN%20REED" src="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a3/16/257076/Artist/204719/Artist/res.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none;" alt="Quantcast" width="1" border="0" height="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1188036321820364058-4468195630170345597?l=www.outsiderinternet.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.outsiderinternet.com/2009/09/t-austin-reed-systemcultureorg.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Uk Optimisation.com)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1188036321820364058.post-8554668714734509351</guid><pubDate>Tue, 01 Sep 2009 12:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-01T05:36:04.355-07:00</atom:updated><title>Free mp3</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNDYzOTIxNDI4NzUmcHQ9MTI*NjM5MjE2MzY1NiZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9YmFubmVyX2ZpcnN*X2dlbiZnPTEmdD*mbz**NDU1ZWNjOTJhNmU*MTcxODkyYjZjODNhNzkzNjFkMiZvZj*w.gif" width="0" border="0" height="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/1086032/204719/Artist/204719/Artist/link"&gt;&lt;img alt="This%20Window" src="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a3/1086032/204719/Artist/204719/Artist/res.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A free download of  '&lt;a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/controller/fan_reach/pt?eid=2096585_14381931&amp;amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myspace.com%2Fwindows%3Fhomepage%3Dthiswindow"&gt;You  Have The Power&lt;/a&gt;'  by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;This Window &lt;/span&gt;has been made possible by &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Microsoft;&lt;/span&gt; simply go to the page  and grab it.  &lt;span class="swb"&gt;There are 1,000 &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;FREE&lt;/span&gt; songs available for you to download.

The program's first sponsor, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Microsoft Windows&lt;/span&gt; is making these downloads available for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;FREE&lt;/span&gt;, download as much music as you want and download it all for no cost&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none;" alt="Quantcast" width="1" border="0" height="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img style="visibility: hidden; width: 0px; height: 0px;" src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bT*xJmx*PTEyNDYzOTMwNDYwNzgmcHQ9MTI*NjM5MzA1MTQ2OCZwPTI3MDgxJmQ9YmFubmVyX2ZpcnN*X2dlbiZnPTEmdD*mbz**NDU1ZWNjOTJhNmU*MTcxODkyYjZjODNhNzkzNjFkMiZvZj*w.gif" width="0" border="0" height="0" /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a4/92/204719/Artist/204719/Artist/link"&gt;&lt;img alt="This%20Window" src="http://www.reverbnation.com/c./a3/92/204719/Artist/204719/Artist/res.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quantcast.com/p-05---xoNhTXVc" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-05---xoNhTXVc.gif" style="display: none;" alt="Quantcast" width="1" border="0" height="1" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1188036321820364058-8554668714734509351?l=www.outsiderinternet.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.outsiderinternet.com/2009/09/free-mp3.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Uk Optimisation.com)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
