Your Diamond studs, diamond earrings, rings, pendants, bracelets, and any other diamond jewelry you have needs to be both cleaned and cared for on a regular basis. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend and so you should treat them like you would a best friend.

Here are some tips for caring for your diamond studs and other diamond jewelry.

1. Soap and water is the best way to clean diamonds. Take a small bowl and fill with tepid water, and a little bit of liquid dish soap. Dip your diamonds into the solution and then use an old soft toothbrush to gently scrub. Soak in the mixture and then scrub again. Rinse, pad dry, and polish.
2. There are many commercial jewelry cleaners on the market that you can use to clean your diamond studs and other diamond jewelry. You just dip your jewelry into the container and use the brush that comes with it to scrub the surface.
3. Ammonia should be used only in a well ventilated room. Mix 1 part ammonia with 8 parts water and then place in a bowl. Follow the same steps as you did for soap and water.
4. Most jewelry stores offer a free service to clean diamond jewelry. If you did not buy it there they may charge you a minimal fee but the ultra sonic equipment they use does a great job so it is worth it.
5. If your diamond studs are really dirty you can leave them soak for 30 to 45 minutes. Then scrub them gently with a soft brush so you do not scratch the metal.
6. Every year you should take your diamond studs and other diamond jewelry in to be examined for worn claws or loose stones.
7. Although buying your diamonds is not part of caring you should remember that thanks to online shopping sites like DIAMOND STUDS OF AMERICA are able to sell you diamond studs for a fraction of the cost of just a few years ago. Now you can afford to have more than one pair.

Diamonds remain beautiful year in and year out, they remain fashionable throughout the decades, and they remain affordable thanks to the internet. Now you can afford to own more than one pair of diamond studs. So what are you waiting for?

The same is true for any workout you do. Running, cross-training, sports, or maybe a bootcamp workout… all of them take on new meaning when your horizons broaden. You may be thinking that’s too cold to workout outside this time of year. Actually that cold air maybe just the thing you need. The rush of chill that flows into your lungs is a better jolt than a cup of coffee in the mornings. Cooler temps make you work a little harder to warm up and may even boost your calorie burn. But for me the best part is that fresh air, sunshine and a crisp fall breeze are all great reminders that you’re alive!

So take your workout outside year round. You may find you get more out of it than just exercise.

Here are five ideas that may help you break through:

Take an Active Rest
If you have hit a plateau, it may be time for an active rest. Take a week off from structured exercise, and instead take leisurely walks, play ball with the kids, or take a yoga class. Active rest rejuvenates the mind and the body and allows for overworked muscles to rest and rebuild. You will return to exercise stronger and ready for new challenges.

Time to Eat
As you increase your fitness level, your bodys metabolism may increase and so will your calorie needs. If you hit a plateau, evaluate how much you are eating. You may need to eat more than you have in the past for your body to continue to increase its fitness level. If you find you are often hungry, this is a clear sign you need to eat more to sustain your exercise program.

Mix it Up
If you do not vary your workout routine your body will eventually run on cruise control, and you will experience a plateau. Try new cardiovascular activities, or use free weights if you always use machines for strength training. Changes in your routine will surprise the body and force it to adapt, bringing you to new levels of fitness.

Different Day, Different Intensity
Varying your activities, or cross-training is important to avoid or break through a plateau. While cross training the type of activity is often recommended, it is also important to cross-train the intensity of your workouts. Specify different days of the week as low, moderate or high-intensity days. Try interval training work at a low intensity for a couple of minutes and increase to a high intensity for a couple of minutes, and repeat. If you use a heart rate monitor, be sure your average heart rate for your exercise sessions vary from day to day.

Sleep It Off
Be sure you are getting enough sleep. Getting the right amount of sleep for your body will allow time for your muscles to recover from exercise. This will ensure that you can come to your next exercise session with enough energy and at full strength to take on a challenging workout.

If you find you still cant break through that plateau, then make the decision to ride it out. Sometimes a plateau is necessary to allow the body to catch up with a new body weight or fitness level. Rest assured your body knows what is best and will break through the plateau at the right time! Check out Splits59.com today and see our new collection of Women’s activewear!

1. Identify the Right Keywords

2. Optimize the website

3. Optimize Inbound Links (Backlinks)

4. Measure Results and Repeat

Each of those 4 key principals have a lot of details, but everything comes back to them.

Identifying the “right” keywords: This process is probably the most important of all research that you can accomplish and most important to understanding how SEO works.  There is simply no point to entering into a search optimization campaign unless you know; which keywords are being searched, how competitive are the keywords (i.e. how likely and how long will it take to win them), which keywords drive conversions, which keywords drive traffic but not conversions.  We have a very mathematical approach to keyword identification.  Factors we consider are search volume, search engine result counts, keyword phrase use in title tags, Alexa Rankings, Google Page Rank of competitors.  These factors are then mathematically combined into Keyword Effectiveness Index (KEI) Keyword Performance Index (KPI), BLKEI ™ and a BWKPI ™    -   Download a sample Keyword Report.

On-Page Optimization:  When a search engine visits your site and indexes a page (bot or spider) it cannot “see” images.  All it can do is read the text that appears on the page to try and identify what the subject matter of the page is all about.  What the text says and how that text is formatted is exceptionally important.  Text on the page includes Title tags, Meta Tag, Description Tag, Image Alt text, Link alt text, link anchor text, and of course body text.  Formatting factors are also taken into consideration including the usage of; bold, italics, H1 and other H# tags.  Density of keyword phrases is also exceptionally important.  If a particular keyword phrase is not used enough, then the search engine will most likely not determine that the page is about that subject.  However, if the keyword density is too high (i.e. the keyword is used too often or “stuffed”) then the search engine may mark the page as “spam”.  Again, our On page optimization reports are based heavily on these mathematical factors.    – Download a sample On-Page Optimization Report

Site Structure - Many factors regarding the way that a site is constructed and structured can affect the overall performance of the site from a SEO perspective.  One of the most common problems is duplicate content.  While Google and other search engines are getting better about recognizing and handling duplicate content issues, it is much better to solve the problem from the website construction side than to leave it to the search engines to “decide” for you.  Examples of duplicate content problems are: Dynamic sites that return the same web page under different URLS, URL tracking codes that are carried throughout the site as a visitor navigates, and site whose link structure include bounce from http to https pages with the same content.  URL Rewriting techniques can be utilized to correct these issues.

Additional site structure problems are; Internal links that “link everything to everything”, SEO Hazards (Black hat techniques such as small text, same color text on near color backgrounds, and many others), Excessive links per page, and excessive outbound links.

Off-Page Optimization: While some search engines place a heavier importance on content, Google (the current King of Search) places a heavier importance on inbound links (backlinks).  These are the links to your site (and sub pages) from other websites.  The quality and quantity of these links is exceptionally important.  To give you an example of just how important these inbound links are you can do a search on Google for the phrase “Click Here” http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=click+here as you can see Adobe Reader is the first result.  If you look at the page you will see that the phrase “click here” doesn’t appear anywhere in the text.  Why do they rank so well when the content is not relevant?  The answer: Anchor Text.  Anchor text is the text used on the link itself.  A lot of sites use the phrase “click here to download adobe reader”  In the case of Adobe Google recognizes nearly half a million backlinks to that specific page. http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4HPNW_en&q=link:http%3a%2f%2fget.adobe.com%2freader%2f .  The acquisition of quality backlinks can be critical to your overall success in SEO.

Where we get links:  There are a number of ways to build quality backlinks.  Directory submissions, Off site Blogging, Press Releases, Working with your current vendors and customer to get links from their websites, testimonials of products that you use, sponsoring non profit events, and more.  In addition on consideration is community building.  Is your product or service conducive to an online community format with message boards and forums?  If so this can be a fantastic way to have content (postings etc) built for you naturally by a community of site users.  This can often be a great source of links.  Social Networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIN and others can also be a source of strong communications, building brand followings and ultimately inbound links from natural sources. Lastly direct email requests to sites and blogs that represent your industry asking for links and /  or link exchanges is the final method of link building. This brief overview of link building just scratches the surface on the details of a successful link building campaign.

Measure Measure Measure: Traffic is useless unless that traffic converts into leads and sales.  We believe that it isn’t our responsibility to just drive traffic to our client’s sites instead we have to drive the right traffic through to the right experience at the right moment. We have to help your customers find exactly what they are looking for, and take them through that experience, from a search trigger, to completed action. When customers find our clients our clients see results.  This can only be accomplished by a strong a dedicated approach to analytics review, and performance tracking.  We have to know “why” the visitor visited the site, where they went, what pathing best creates the desired outcome and then manipulate our efforts to that end.  Regular reporting of SEO campaign performance, Link Performance, and changes in competitors is a requirement to successful SEO.

Cleaning your diamond jewelry is necessary to remove the dirt and oil that builds up and then causes the diamonds to look dull and unattractive. Lotions, dust, hair styling products, and all kinds of gunk build up and if you do not clean your diamond jewelry it is just going to start to look awful. You can take it in to the jewelers to have it cleaned but you can just as easily clean it at home.

To clean your diamond jewelry you need mild liquid dish soap like Ivory and some warm water. There are also commercial cleaning solutions on the market that you can buy.

Soak the jewelry for a while to loosen up the dirt and grime and then using a really soft brush clean the stones while the jewelry is still in the solution. If there is grime stuck you can use a needle or toothpick to remove it.

Rinse thoroughly and then wipe with a lint free cloth. You can clean all your diamond jewelry this way and while you are at it check clasps and claws to make sure everything is secure. You would not want to loose a stone.

You can store your diamond jewelry in your jewelry box but you must make sure that it is not rubbing together or the gold will become scratched. You can use soft jewelry cloth to keep the items separate. Make sure the box is dry and free of moisture. And of course make sure it is safe.

Proper storage means that they will be safely tucked away. Do not make a habit of leaving diamond jewelry lying near the sink or on a dresser. It does not take much for one earring to become lost.

You can buy diamond stud earrings online for such excellent prices that everybody should have at least one pair. Sites like US DIAMOND JEWELRY or DIAMOND STUDS OF AMERICA have an excellent inventory that you cannot help but find the perfect pair for you.

Many celebrities, and royalty, as well as other rich people buy diamonds every day both to adorn their bodies and as an investment for those unforeseen times of financial difficulty because diamonds can be sold very easily. For the normal consumer like yourself all you are looking for is a nice pair of diamond stud earrings but they still are an investment.

The price of your diamond earrings will be based on the qualities of the diamond – the 4 C’s – Cut, Clarity, Color, and carat. Color is the hardest to make a decision on because there is such a wide range of colors to pick from.

In today’s market there are many different colors of diamonds available – red, pink, brown, yellow, and blue just to list a few. There are many other tints in existence. To the jeweler diamonds are graded by their color which then determines the price associated with that diamond. Grades D through F are colorless making these the most expensive and the rarest.

Grades G through J are almost colorless and are still quite expensive while diamonds graded from K on begin to have a yellow tint and prices are affected accordingly. If you have an endless supply of money and want only the rarest in diamonds then settle for a grad of D through F and nothing less for these are the best in the industry but they are sold by few. Near colorless diamonds have no noticeable color that can be seen by the naked eye and are an excellent choice.

It is easy to find fancy, colored diamonds on the market because there is a demand for them. They have an elegance and style that cannot be duplicated and although they may not be the most valuable in the essence of just the diamond, they are in fact extremely valuable as a fashion statement.

Just remembered these colored diamonds are not to be considered an investment. So if you like them, can’t live without them, buy them, and enjoy them, just don’t pay more than they are worth.

Now that you know what you need to about diamond color you are ready to start shopping for your favored diamond earrings. Sites like US DIAMOND JEWELRY offer quality diamonds and affordable prices. Isn’t it time to start shopping?
