'Make it new' was Ezra Pound's dictum to the modern writer. The same phrase sums up modern literature.

1900-1940 is an exciting period. Two world wars took place. This global conflict resulted to demise of centuries-old kingdoms and the rise of new political systems. On the literary front, many early twentieth century writers embraced a 'modernist' ethic and express new ideas in new ways. This revolution brought development to the literature of the period. It influenced the next generation of writers.

Many research papers analyzed the cultural significance of this period. College students who are asked to write a research paper on this wouldn't run out of topic to choose from. Here are three suggested ideas:

• What made many 'modernist' writers abandon the literary traditions and practices of the past? Is it uncertainty of the period that prompted them to do bold gestures? Or did the old ways restrict their writing style? Several research papers can be made to explain this.

• Did Joseph Conrad cling to past literary traditions? Did this diminish his legacy? Conrad is one of the literary giants of the Modernist Period. His novels (e.g. "Heart of Darkness") reflects his jaded attitude towards colonialism, which is one factor that led to World War I. Students who chose this subject matter can compose a position paper.

• A number of literary works of this era were banned during its first release. They were deemed obscene. D.H. Lawrence's "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and Henry Miller's "Tropic of Cancer" are two prominent works. In Lawrence's case, did he treated sexuality as a liberation from the traditional system? Or as some suggested, is it oppression under the new order, as what Lady Chatterley experienced? Lots of research papers have been written on this topic. Students can add their two cents on this subject matter.

Try searching a keyword on a number of keyword tools available over the net. Are the results the same? Do they yield the same frequency? Do they agree on the degree of competitiveness about a certain keyword?

Keyword research is a serious business. And if you want to increase your chance of doing well in search engines, you have to target the right keyword. This is why you should learn how to do keyword research.

As hinted earlier, there are a number of keyword tools available in the market. Some of these are free, some are not. But before you venture into these software, a good starting point to learn keyword research would be Google AdWords Keyword Tool. This tool, which is obviously from Google, will allow you to check keyword along with the number of searches for that keyword as well as the degree of advertiser competition. You can export the list in text or csv file to facilitate your keyword research.

When searching for a keyword, do not just settle with a one broad keyword that gives billions of search results. Topping the search engine for that keyword would be unlikely if not impossible. Not to mention the time and resources that you need to actually complete. Of course this is not your concern if you’re doing a plain keyword research. Still, try to narrow down your search, find keyword permutations. The higher the number of keyword choices, the better.

If you are doing keyword research for internet marketing, you need to select laser targeted keywords that will match your products. Take note of the keywords that denote action by the customers. The same is true to general search engine optimization.

Now that you have a keyword list, you need to clean this list. Consider keyword competition and searches in deciding which keyword to keep and which to drop. You cannot work on a million keywords, can you? After all, where is the “research” in that?

Search engine copywriting has developed into an important step in the process of general search engine optimization. Consequently, it has become sort of a misunderstood craft. Thrusting in keywords basically anywhere is not appropriate search engine copywriting. The correct and successful SEO copywriting takes time and planning. Any reckless efforts in copywriting with only the engines in mind elicit negative feedback and in return, diminish clients.

It is therefore best to device a good copywriting plan for search engines. You can use a controlled number of keyword or keyphrases so that the terms and phrases will not be too repetitive or redundant. When it comes to keywords or keyphrases, the rules always vary depending on the article’s need. Nevertheless, don’t overcrowd the article with keywords and keyphrases and be wary of using those terms in awkward sentences.

Also, don’t forget to keep your article short – a shorter write up will hook viewers more. However, make sure that the article’s message is successfully carried across readers. In relation, writers should also opt for a natural language since the produced article copy should not sound force or stiff. The article should be reader-friendly, regardless of the age, sex or other personal denominators.

In addition, copywriters should also employ the test and track method. Remember that all clients are not similar, and all sites are consequently not the same. There’s no such thing as a magic formula so writers must test and track in order to see which works or not. Keep in mind that you are copywriting for the customers and not solely for the search engine. Bearing this principle in mind will make your output better and more proficient.

Choosing an internet marketing company will take no time – that is if you just click on the first thing that comes your way. Of course, any web user will want an internet marketing company that is reliable, competent and efficient. That is why you have to do your homework – research and check out your options properly. Do not jump in and sign up for the internet marketing company that seems to offer the best, most convincing features.

In any endeavor, you must first discern whether the company you transact with is legitimate and real. A credible marketing company must be able to show you their process, type of business, affiliations as well as their previous internet marketing plans. Get as much detail as possible so you can thoroughly compare the internet marketing companies available. You can also ask the company’s previous clients and investigate whether the company was able to provide adequate service.

Asking for viable internet marketing should be one of your top priorities. You will want to check and verify if the internet marketing plan you have in mind and that of the company is one and the same. If not, you can always share your thoughts and vision on the marketing company so that the two entities can meet half-way.

Moreover, make it a point to personally see the people behind the internet marketing company. Yes, this might take energy and time but you will want to see where and to whom your money goes, right? Again, meeting in person is a crucial determinant whether or not you’re transacting with a reliable internet marketing company. If you still do not take the company’s word, then check out some websites for verification – you’ll be surprised at how much the internet knows.

I wanted to mention a couple of good events happening nearby over the next few weeks. Both are related to research on sustainable energy.

The first is the conference Kansas E3: Energy, the Environment, and Economics, happening on Thursday October 11.This gathering features an entire day of speakers at both Lawrence and Ulysses KU campuses. Among the distinguished speakers is James L. Spigarelli, President and CEO of Midwest Research Institute. His talk is entitled "The Increasing National Emphasis on Making Energy Efficient and Renewable." Another fascinating presentation will be the panel discussion happening at Ulysses. it features executives from BP America, Sunflower Electric Power and Conestoga Energy, an ethanol production company. This should be a great chance for attendees to find out what plans are on the horizon in terms of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources. I assume there will be the opportunity to ask questions as well. Check out the conference website for more information and registration options.

Another event coming up more quickly is the "Conversations on the Environment" speakers series beginning on September 26. The first of six events over the next year will feature carpet manufacturer Ray Anderson "one of the foremost corporate advocates for sustainability." He will appear at Unity Temple on 9/26 from 5-6:30PM. Admission is free.
