The client, a popular site where you can play online casino, is looking to build links to their site at quality gambling sites such as your own.<BR/><BR/>Ideally we want in-content links, such as naturally in flow of your content. We are currently looking to target the terms "casino" and "online casino" with the text linking to the clients website.<BR/><BR/>We are currently looking to spend between $3 and $20 on this type of link, depending on the quality of the page on which it is located. If you are interested, or have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us and we can arrange payment immediately.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>David@adsnu.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-89935483108051948672008-06-24T12:47:00.000-04:002008-06-24T12:47:00.000-04:00He's counting the people he employ's at the Brockt...He's counting the people he employ's at the Brockton fair and the cleaning crews at various buildings he own's. He very well may employ 650, but they don't all work at the track.

There are always going to be jobs that are exactly that jobs, not "careers". The people working at them need weekly paychecks. There will always be and always be the need for "refuse engineers", not everyone has had the advantage of growing up and going to college.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-25367593750496637102008-06-24T08:01:00.000-04:002008-06-24T08:01:00.000-04:00Ryan, good job presenting the facts, but more worr...Ryan, good job presenting the facts, but more worrisome is the focus on this single small industry that employs few people. They're not jobs to aspire to, but unskilled jobs, good for the short term. Instead, the Commonwealth continues to cater to a business that's profitable to its generous campaign contributing owner. <BR/>From my vantage point, it's time for legislator to wake up and buy their own calculators.<BR/>tracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15133926.post-91847714670048672442008-06-24T05:28:00.000-04:002008-06-24T05:28:00.000-04:00Of course you would lose the jobs associated with ...Of course you would lose the jobs associated with the concessions and such. The people who deliver food, heating oil etc. to the racetrack. If the business dies a natural death fine, if it tries to survive help it along.

So, 250 actual jobs, but 600 people worked for him in one year, because there was an average of 2.4 worker turnover events per job over the course of the year.<BR/><BR/>So he looks at his employee records and says, "there's 600 people on this list" when really, he's counting jobs 2-3 times, given that 2-3 different people on average have held that one job that year.<BR/><BR/>What do you think? Could I be on to something?<BR/><BR/>If that so, it's not only that 600 jobs is a lie, but one of those "damned" lies...or worse. A statistic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
