While the science fair is typically a common occurrence in any school at any grade level, there are different types of topics that should be taken a look at depending on the age of the student. After first taking a look at the many different categories of science projects, you will be able to locate a suitable choice of topic to take to the next level.There is a wide variety of categories that fall under the types of science projects that can be chosen for a school science fair. These include biology, chemistry, physics, microbiology, biochemistry, medicine, environmental, mathematics, engineering, and earth science. While you may not have yet learned very much in any of these categories, don’t be afraid to see what each one entails. Taking a good look at your interests will allow you to focus on the right direction to take.Many resources are also available for those who are unsure as to the topic they are wanting to use to create their science projects. If you take a look at the topics that fall under the biology category, you will likely notice that there are topics that deal with plants, animals, and humans. For those who are in 2nd grade or 3rd grade, an interesting topic may be to determine if ants are picky over what type of food they eat. While this topic might not be of interest to an 8th grader, it is certainly something in the biology category that an elementary school student would enjoy.Along with the biology category, a high school student may want to take a look at diffusion and osmosis in animal cells as this would be a more appropriate topic for the grade level. A student in 6th grade would be more advanced than an elementary school student, but not as advanced as a high school student. At this middle school grade level, a topic of how pH levels effect the lifespan of a tadpole may be of interest.Whichever resource is used to locate a topic for science projects, it is always a good idea to consider the grade level of the student prior to making a selection. It is always assumed to be best to have a project at an appropriate level in order to keep the attention of the student and provide a fun and enjoyable learning experience. </p><div class="mads-block"></div>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://aadmlms.info/online-automotive-education-programs/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Top 10 Ways to Waste Your Automotive Search Marketing Budget</title> <link>https://aadmlms.info/top-10-ways-to-waste-your-automotive-search-marketing-budget/</link> <comments>https://aadmlms.info/top-10-ways-to-waste-your-automotive-search-marketing-budget/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Mar 2023 11:39:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[automotive]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://aadmlms.info/?p=94</guid> <description><![CDATA[10: Buy outside of your dealership’s geographic area:Every car dealer wants their customers, their competitors customers, and will go to great lengths to buy zones or marketing areas well outside of any reasonable area.

Often, it’s a naive marketer that buys a 100 mile radius on new car leads. What’s the REAL CHANCE you will sell a NEW Chevy when a customer will have to drive past 53 other Chevrolet dealers on the way down? Used cars is another story. We have some great success stories of selling cars outside of the state, region, even country.9: Buy keywords for models you do not sell:Of course people are cross shopping vehicles. Yes you may put a Cayenne buyer into an FX45 but first and foremost, get the proper keywords before you even think about buying any other automotive keywords. Then, if and when you do buy competing models, closely watch the clicks, conversion rates to see if these are even turning into automotive leads or are just a wasted effort.8: Buy generic phrases:If you are buying phrases like “cars” and “used” then you have purchased a one way ticket to spend budget quickly. You will attract all sorts of crazy requests especially if you buy a “broad match” which may include such wonderful phrases as “cars for demolition derbies” and “used jeans just like Madonna”. Automotive marketers beware but a click is a click to Google and they will charge you if you are not smart enough to prevent it.7: Don’t match your ad to your destination page:You ad says “Toyota Camry’s for $199/mo” and your landing page is a homepage that is still 3 clicks away from finding the Camry inventory. As a special bonus to your customer, they can’t find this $199 special because someone forgot to load it into your special offer section of your dealership’s website. Talk about a time waster. Another one-way ticket to find another dealer on Google is coming to a customer near you. Could you envision a situation where a customer walked into your showroom, asked about a Camry, and you walked him around your entire dealership, showed them the service department, F&I, and led them to a few doors which may or may not lead to a price on that car?6: Make crappy boring generic adsThis is an automotive marketing staple. Boring, generic ads with no compelling reason to click on them. Sure it’s great you are on top of Google but that will not last long if you have a low click through rate, and customer’s are going to click on the ad that excites them. We run many automotive ads simultaneously and constantly make them compete to beat the next ad. This is why we can see a 15% or more click through rate on some ads and other dealers say that pay per click just does not work.5: Spend too much on “gotta have it” keywordsI was at a dealership the other day, who shall remain nameless, who said “I have to win the word Honda”. I don’t care how much it costs, but anything Honda, I need to be #1 in paid search.”. This dealership would have put together a pay per click campaign that resulted in clicks on Honda motorcycles, Honda outboards, Honda used, Honda jet planes (yes take a look at them) and anything else. Plus he may end up paying $10 per click on competitive words. Insane.4: Ignore Analytic reports and focus on traffic:90% bounce rates on pay per click ads mean that 90% of your customers are leaving almost immediately. If you are not looking at analytic reports then you are spending money on the wrong keywords, ads, sites, etc. We just left a dealer who was buying the word “free” in their PPC campaign. Sure, tons of clicks. Duh. Bounce rate near 100%. Duh. I can’t even imagine how much they paid per click. Factor in the exit rates (what pages people are leaving from) and the new visitor ratio, and you can get a good idea of the best sources of traffic. Buy more good, buy less bad.3: Let Google run your campaignSure it is easy and may be good to get you started, but Google suggestions will often just give you irrelevant phrases, or provide you with odd budgets. Buy what you need, leave the rest. Remember, Google wants to spend your automotive budget.2: Spend too much per clickSometimes, coming in 2nd is a good thing! When the price between being a first place listing and second place listing is $2.00 per click, it pays to let go of first sometimes. Often, we can buy several times as many clicks for our clients just by avoiding the “bid to win 1st” mentality. Sometimes, the “long tail” philosophy can lead to a boatload of clicks at a low price.1: Buy your own nameHere is our favorite one of all, bidding on your own name. There is a very popular and well known automotive marketing company who can get dealers a ton of clicks and “phone calls” as well. It’s easy when you buy the dealers name. If you are already #1 with your own name (most dealers are) and there is no competition, the DO NOT buy your own name. They will find you for free. That is buying the cow, AND paying for the milk. It’s insane that a major, well funded business has built a business model around redirecting a dealers own traffic back to the dealer, and getting full credit for it. There are cases where you do want and need to buy your own name but in most cases, it is not necessary. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://aadmlms.info/top-10-ways-to-waste-your-automotive-search-marketing-budget/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Granite Is Worth the Extra Expense When Replacing Your Kitchen Counters</title> <link>https://aadmlms.info/granite-is-worth-the-extra-expense-when-replacing-your-kitchen-counters/</link> <comments>https://aadmlms.info/granite-is-worth-the-extra-expense-when-replacing-your-kitchen-counters/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 28 Mar 2023 09:41:13 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>admin</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Uncategorized]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kitchen Improvements]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://aadmlms.info/?p=92</guid> <description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that granite countertops are going to cost more than almost any other type of countertop that is sold today.

It is nothing to pay $5,000 or more, to have a beautiful slab of rock cut down, polished and brought into your kitchen but it is worth it. There is no other material that is going to look as good, be as durable and increase the value of your property.When you go to remodel your kitchen, you must look at it as an investment. Of course, you are looking for a more functional space and updated equipment but a kitchen makeover is also going to add to the value of your home. Study after study have shown that nearly 100% of the money spent on kitchen improvements will be recovered when you sell your home. So, it only makes sense to go with the very best materials. Granite in the kitchen is a luxurious addition that will not only raise your homes selling price but it is also going to make the property sell faster whenever you place it on the market.Builders have discovered the allure of granite countertops and began using them more and more in the kitchens of their high end homes. The more people saw them and the more impressed people became with their beauty, the more in demand they have become. You cannot walk into any home improvement store any longer without seeing slabs of granite outside just waiting for some do it yourselfer to bring it home. Granite has gone mainstream despite the high cost because people recognize its value.After looking good, the second best selling point is the durability. Granite is formed from magma that oozes out of hot volcanoes and hardens as it mixes with other minerals in the earth. Because of the way it has formed, it is heat and crack resistant. Unlike other materials used for countertops, you can set a hot plate that has just come right out of the oven on granite and it will not burn. The stone is also so hard that when something gets dropped on it, the granite will not chip or crack (unfortunately the item that you have dropped may not fare as well).The top selling points of laminate countertops and composite material like Corian have been the wide variety of colors and styles that they come in however the more granite is mined around the world, the wider the selection of stone. It is found on every continent around the world and each piece is unique. You will never find the same speckling or marbling effects in two different pieces. Make sure that your countertop, if it has to be installed in separate pieces, comes from the same slab so that the two pieces are similar enough that when they are seemed together they match. If your counter includes a corner, it is a very good idea to have a professional installer put it in. When the seams are joined together it is crucial to make sure there are no gaps and the connection is perfectly level. </p>]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://aadmlms.info/granite-is-worth-the-extra-expense-when-replacing-your-kitchen-counters/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel></rss> If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
