Consumers may now choose from an extensive range of colored HP toner cartridges and black HP toner cartridges, remanufactured or compatible, at up to 70 percent off the price of OEMs. At Tonerboss.com, all remanufactured and compatible HP toner cartridges pass or even surpass OEM quality standards.

Rowland Heights, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2008 -- Original toners are really expensive, especially for people who continually churn out a lot of printed material. More often than not, consumers end up paying more for the brand name rather than the product itself. Now, there is a better and definitely cheaper alternative without sacrificing product quality and ensuring that your printer always remains in tip-top condition.

Tonerboss.com is considered as one of the leaders in the printer toner remanufacturing industry. They specialize in the remanufacturing process of HP toner cartridges.

Remanufactured HP toner cartridges at Tonerboss.com, both black and colored, undergo the strictest quality control measure to meet utmost customer satisfaction.

While the company also sells compatible HP toner cartridges, Tonerboss.com only chooses and handpicks the best compatible toners from third-party manufacturers. This is primarily done so as to maintain the highest quality standards that Tonerboss.com is known for and consistently aspires to do. Thus, it comes to no surprise that all HP toner cartridges, remanufactured or compatible alike meet or even exceed Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) specifications and standards especially when it comes to quality and reliability.

Surprisingly enough, producing high quality HP toner cartridges does not equate to an expensive price tag. In fact, all remanufactured HP toner cartridges available at Tonerboss.com are up to 70 percent cheaper than brand new OEMs or original branded toners.

Residential Property Management Goes Paperless

Landlords and Renters have a great new tool to use with the launch of RentalSpaceNetwork.com, an online property management and rental advertising service. Created by a team of Real Estate and IT professionals, RentalSpaceNetwork.com promises to bring residential property management into the 21st century.

Tempe, Arizona, April 18, 2008-- Landlords and Renters have a great new tool to use with the launch of RentalSpaceNetwork.com (www.rentalspacenetwork.com), an online property management and rental advertising service. Created by a team of Real Estate and IT professionals, RentalSpaceNetwork.com promises to bring residential property management into the 21st century.

Managing rental properties is no easy task; the amount of advertising, paperwork, appointments, and payments that landlords and renters must deal with can be overwhelming. RentalSpaceNetwork.com will not only save people time and money, but it will also dramatically lessen the environmental footprint left behind by significantly reducing the use of paper and the amount of gas consumed powering vehicles.

The E-signature act of 2000 changed the way Americans do business by making the electronic signing of documents as legally binding as hand written signatures. RentalSpaceNetwork.com has created all of the necessary rental documentation in e-signature format which allows landlords and tenants the ability to sign, exchange and store documents online thus eliminating the need for printing, faxing, filing, and appointment scheduling. With just a click of a button people can Create, Fill Out, e-Sign, and Exchange: applications, customizable leases for all 50 states, move in/out forms, invoices and more. No more searching the internet for the proper forms and rental laws for your state; no more hard-to-read hand written leases; no more driving to meet with someone to give them an application or lease to fill out; no more fax machines.

In addition to the document exchange service, new Landlord Sign-Ups receive a customized ad for their property which includes a detailed property description, pictures, floor plans and virtual tours. Every ad also comes with an online availability calendar and printable property brochure. This ad will be placed on RentalSpaceNetwork.com and on one other keyword specific rental website giving the property valuable exposure.

RentalSpaceNetwork.com also provides a full payment center, where landlords can easily accept rent payments from their tenants online without having to set up their own merchant account. All that's required is a bank account, and the service comes with no set-up fees and no monthly fees. Landlords no longer have to wait for rent checks to arrive in the mail and are able to expedite the application and reservation process by accepting fees and deposits online. The time wasted making trips to the bank to deposit checks is eliminated and Landlords never again have to hear the age old excuse of "It must have gotten lost in the mail."

By using RentalSpaceNetwork.com, landlords can advertise their properties, screen prospective tenants, sign all of the proper rental documentation, and receive all of the necessary payments; all in one quick and easy to use place. Registered members can access and use their account from anywhere they have an internet connection.

For a limited time, landlords can try the service free of charge for one month for all of their rental properties. If they like what they see and wish to continue using the service, they can sign-up monthly for $24.99 per property or yearly for $199. There is also a special Bulk Listing Program for property managers or landlords with numerous rental properties. Landlords who choose to stop using the service will always be able access their account to view and print any document previously created. All data on the site is stored on secure servers behind numerous layers of protection and encryption.

All registered members of RentalSpaceNetwork.com undergo an identity verification test to help prevent identity theft and online fraud. All members can rest assured that the person they are doing business with on the site is who they say they are.

Landlords, whether you manage a house, condo, vacation rental, apartment complex, or corporate housing, RentalSpaceNetwork.com could be the solution to your property management needs. Sign-up for your free month of service to see what it is like to secure a qualified tenant in minutes with absolutely no faxing and no driving.

Blogging For Quick SEO Benefits

Realizing SEO Benefits Quickly Through Blogging

by Ambar Shrivastava , Friday, May 9, 2008

QUICK RESULTS IN SEARCH MARKETING are only possible with pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, right? Wrong. The advent of blogging, as well as recent advances to search engine algorithms, has narrowed the gap between PPC and search engine optimization (SEO) to mere hours. With PPC, there is instant gratification as your advertisement will appear in search results almost immediately after your campaign is activated. However, this same advantage can now be seen in SEO.

First, let's take a look at some common reasons why SEO projects have not been carried out in the past.

- Companies don't want to abandon tech investments (e.g. content management systems and Web publishing tools)

- Lack of budget dedicated to SEO

- May take a while to demonstrate ROI

Blogging addresses each of these problems.

- SEO best practices are already in place. Blogging software by default includes a few basic but important SEO practices by using proper Titles, headlines, URLs, and internal linking structure. Search engines also like sites that have fresh content, which can give blogs great influence over search results.

- Recent search engine algorithm changes boost the visibility of blogs. An experiment by Ryan Durk took advantage of temporary changes in Google's logo linking to the search results page for "January 1 TCP/IP". It shows two things: the speed by which a new blog is indexed and the short time between your blog getting indexed and it appearing high in search results.

- Blogs are inexpensive and easy to setup. A new blog can be created in a matter of minutes with little technical knowledge. Blog creation is free in many cases, often with a nominal monthly fee for additional features.

Blogging is great for companies that are not ready to make the larger SEO investment or are worried about abandoning a CMS in which they have already invested. Blogging can be used as a proof of concept that shows that SEO can deliver results. Use of blogging software delays the larger discussion of SEO projects that are potentially more time-consuming and require a larger investment that reap longer term benefits. Setting up a blog is inexpensive and doesn't force you to abandon or modify your existing IT investments.

Then get people to notice your blog.

- Conduct keyword research Creating a blog is just the first step. Keyword research can be the difference between a highly popular, authoritative blog and a blog that no one knows exists.

Since everyone competes on the most popular words, try blogging about slightly less-competitive topics, so your site has the ability to rank for those terms. There are some great tools out there that help facilitate this process of identifying writing topics that other sites aren't necessarily targeting, yet will drive traffic.

If you're just getting started with blogging, write about a subject where you have expertise that you feel will interest your audience. Once you reach a critical mass of blog posts, take a step back and analyze how people are finding your blog and use that information to guide your editorial calendar.

- Utilize social media and pinging. In addition to keyword research, it is important to promote the blog using social media tools that increase the visibility of your blog and generate inbound links to your domain. Be sure to utilize pinging services to notify aggregation services of new content on your blog.

- Customize the blog template. It is also important to link to your new blog from the Homepage of your main Web site to make it easier for search engine spiders to discover it. Often times, the default template needs to be tweaked slightly for maximum SEO benefit. For instance, make sure your blog Permalink uses meaningful anchor text and not www.yourdomain.com/blog/?p=456

Blogging may not be the long-term solution for fixing a broken site, but it will get your foot in the door for SEO, deliver results in the short term, and facilitate the process of getting buy-in for full-scale, long-term SEO projects for the rest of your Web site.

Leading Provider of Auction Rate Securities Valuations

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 23:30 GMT

Houlihan Smith & Company is Leading Provider of Auction Rate Securities Valuations

CHICAGO, April 8, 2008 -- Abuses in sub-prime mortgage lending have triggered a "crisis of confidence" in the U.S. credit markets, according to Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke. Auction Rate Securities ("ARS"), which have not witnessed defaults on the underlying collateral since the early 1990s, have been treated by CFOs and Treasurers as conservative, short-term investments that were practically equivalent to cash.

However, due to the failing credit markets, investors have been left without the ability to liquidate their ARS portfolios -- causing companies to redefine the use of cash equivalents on their balance sheets. Even companies with ARS portfolios backed by the most secure and reliable collateral have suffered due to the extreme loss of liquidity.

"We view the current failing conditions in the ARS market being more indicative of a liquidity issue rather than a credit issue."

- Karl D'Cunha, Senior Vice President, Financial Opinions and Valuation

Services Group

Since the third quarter of 2007, Houlihan Smith & Co.'s experienced team of professionals have been valuing billions of dollars in failed ARS and other structured securities for some of the largest companies traded on the NYSE, AMEX, NASDAQ and other global exchanges. These ARS portfolios include:

    -- Student Loan Auction Rate Securities ("SLARS")
    -- Auction Rate Preferred Securities (collateralized by tax-exempt
       municipal bonds)
    -- Statutory Reserve Requirement ARS
    -- Complex Structured ARS issues by credit derivative product companies
       ("CDPC")

"Not every ARS is structured equally. The type and quality of the underlying collateral has a direct impact on the overall valuation of the security."

- Karl D'Cunha

Houlihan has developed a proprietary approach to valuing ARS that is presented in a clear and transparent manner. The methodology and underlying assumptions have cleared numerous Big 4 auditing firm reviews and have helped our clients ensure that they are properly recording these investments for financial reporting purposes

Houlihan Smith & Company Inc. ("Houlihan") is a national investment banking firm that specializes in providing financial opinions, valuation services and corporate advisory services to public and private businesses. The firm has over 125 experienced professionals with extensive industry expertise. This enables the firm to quickly respond and efficiently handle complex client engagements. Established in 1996, Houlihan is a registered broker-dealer and FINRA member committed to the highest levels of professional standards. The Houlihan name is synonymous with valuation and deal making expertise, leveraging years of experience, reputation and relationships.

Houlihan is also a recognized leader in corporate advisory services, having successfully transacted more than 500 merger and acquisition, capital restructuring, private placement, bankruptcy services, and ESOP advisory engagements. Every client situation is unique; therefore, the firm takes the time to understand each clients' needs to best match buyers and sellers, arrange appropriate financing, and create capitalization structures that optimize the client's potential.

Working Capital Finance Services for Growing Companies

Sun, 11 May 2008 14:55 GMT

Far West Capital Announces Working Capital Finance Services for Growing Companies

Texas-based factoring company provides working capital financing services for customers across the United States, through accounts receivable factoring, asset-based lending and similar services.

Cedar Park, TX - October 12, 2007 -- Small businesses in need of working capital financing have a new option. Far West Capital provides invoice factoring, asset based lending, and similar services designed to provide growing companies with much-needed working capital. Based in Texas, the company serves customers nationwide.

Far West Capital is a specialty finance company that provides highly customized working capital services to small and medium-sized companies. These services can benefit any business with accounts receivable (invoices) that needs capital for sustained operation and continued growth. Companies can use the working capital they obtain through this service for a variety of business needs -- material acquisition, operating capital, turnaround financing, recapitalization and more.

Working Capital Finance, Explained

Working capital refers to liquid assets a company has with which to operate. By extension, working capital financing refers to various financial services that provide businesses with the capital they need to maintain their operations.

"Essentially, we provide companies with the cash flow they need to keep their businesses going," said Cole Harmonson, the company's president, "so our primary service is referred to as working capital financing."

Far West Capital provides financing through several channels:
* Factoring of Accounts Receivable - Customers sell their outstanding invoices or receivables in exchange for cash / working capital for their business. Also commonly referred to as invoice factoring services.
* Asset Based Lending - Customers present a borrowing base, which consists of their existing and ongoing accounts receivable and inventory. The customer then receives funding upon presentation of that base.
* Purchase Order Financing - Far West Capital assumes the customer's purchase orders in exchange for cash / working capital for their business.

A Factoring Company With a Difference

Leading Far West Capital is Cole Harmonson, who has more than 11 years' experience in the world of working capital financing and factoring. Harmonson explained what it is that makes Far West Capital different from other factoring companies within the working capital finance industry:

"We customize the relationship based on the needs of our clients. A lot of factoring companies preach that, but we practice it as well. Each client is different, so we start the process with this in mind, and then we create a financing solution around their individual needs. It's challenging for us, but it helps us differentiate our company by providing a more flexible service to clients."

Like Harmonson, the other members of Far West Capital are equally experienced in the world of working capital finance. In fact, the entire Far West team formerly worked together managing the Working Capital Finance Group of State Bank. Combined, the team has more than 25 years' experience with accounts receivable financing, invoice factoring, and other aspects of working capital.

An Educational Approach to Finance

Far West Capital also takes an educational approach to their business. Their website is packed with information that explains their services, and they've even started a working capital blog (a first of its kind) to further educate potential customers on the ins and outs of working capital financing. Visit the blog at http://www.farwestcap.com/blog/

"A lot of companies need our services without even realizing it," Harmonson explained. "They want to convert their accounts receivable into working cash flow, but they don't know how to go about it. Some have never even heard of factoring. That's one of the reasons we focus so heavily on customer education ... to connect our services with the needs of our potential customers."

Far West Capital provides working capital to growing companies through accounts receivable and inventory financing tools. Based in Cedar Park, Texas, the company serves growing businesses across the United States. To learn more about the company and their financial services, please call or visit them online:
