As in past years the IRS issued a 2009 tax guide for employers. Below is a summary of the new changes for the new year.

1.  Social security and Medicare taxes (rate and cutoff)

Employers must stop withholding social security tax after an employee reaches $106,800 in social security wages in 2009. The maximum social security withholding amount in 2008 was $102,000. This change will require employers to update their accounting or payroll software, either by downloading a new version from the software vendor or by updating the tax tables in their existing payroll system. There is no limit on the amount of wages subject to Medicare tax. Medicare taxes also apply to the wages of household workers an employer pays $1,700 or more in cash. Social security and Medicare taxes apply to election workers who are paid $1,500 or more. The change in the social security withholding cutoff mainly affects employers who have high income employees, making more than 106,800 dollars each year.

 2.  New employment tax adjustment and claim for refund process

The IRS is introducing two new forms for the 2009 tax year: Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund, and Form 944-X, Adjusted Employer’s ANNUAL Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund.

To correct employment tax errors discovered on or after January 1st 2009, employers should use the new corresponding “X” forms to correct employment tax errors as soon as they are discovered. For example, employers should use the new Form 941-X, Adjusted Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return or Claim for Refund, to correct errors on a previously filed Form 941.

For overpayments: Employers can choose to make an adjustment or claim a refund on the corresponding “X” form.

For underpayments: Employers correcting an underpayment must use the corresponding “X” form. Amounts owed must be paid by the receipt of the return. Payments can be made using EFTPS, by sending a check, or by credit card.

3.  Credit card payments

Employers can pay the balance due on Form 943 (Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees) and Form 945 (Annual Return of Withheld Federal Income Tax) by credit card. Employers can’t use a credit card to make federal tax deposits.

4.  Social Security Administration and magnetic media

Employers requesting verification of names and social security numbers between 51 and 250,000 employees can no longer use magnetic media to submit their requests to the Social Security Administration. Employers can upload a file through the Social Security Number Verification System (SSNVS). The Social Security will review usage of SSNVS to ensure that employers are using it for the proper purposes. It is not proper to use SSNVS for non-wage reporting purposes, such as identity, credit checks, mortgage applications, etc. The employer can verify up to 250,000 names/SSNs with a correctly formatted SSNVS file. Social Security will not be able to process a file that is not in the correct format. To create the file you will need one column that is at least 130 characters long. This column will hold all data for each record. To get specifications for the record layout, select “Submission File Format” from the SSNVS Handbook from the Social Security website.

5.  Paid preparers must sign Form 941 and Form 944

The paid preparer’s section is no longer optional and is included in Part 5 of Form 941(Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return) and Form 944 (Employer’s QUARTERLY Federal Tax Return).

Employers using an up to date 2009 Payroll Software to do payroll and calculate withholding, shouldn’t have a problem dealing with any of these changes for tax year 2009.

Article submission or the posting of articles to online directories and news groups has been around for quite some time but does it work? The answer is a resounding YES! If you are looking for a surefire way to drive traffic to your online business then article publication and submission is the way to go. But like most things in life there is a hard way and an easy way to achieve your goal. Writing interesting articles and submitting them to the hundreds of directories out there can be a very time consuming process to say the least.

Writing and submitting articles online has several benefits for your internet business whatever type of website you operate. First off though it may be worth once again going over why you would need to submit articles in the first place and more to the point just what you should expect to achieve by doing so. Chances are that you are reading this article because you have a web site that needs traffic. In fact a web site without traffic is like a car without gas , its going nowhere fast. You may have the flashiest high tech all singing all dancing web site on the net selling the best products or services but unless you can get people to see it the site may as well not exist.

So the main reason for submitting articles should be to drive that much needed traffic to your site. But there is more to it than that. One of the benefits of submitting articles is that it causes a link back to your site, not just from the directories that you post to but from the sites and blogs also use your article as content. The great thing about all these links back to your site (apart from all the free traffic) is that the major search engines will index your pages faster because they love to see incoming links. It gets better still though because more links equals higher page rank which puts your pages higher up the search engine results pages or “serps” as they are technically known.

On top of all this by submitting these articles you will gain credibility as an expert in your field, which in turn will make those articles even more popular with web masters and bloggers who are searching for quality content for their own readers but don’t want to write content themselves. The other great thing is that once published or “set lose” on the net your articles will take on a life all of their own as more and more people use them. This is commonly known as viral marketing because of it’s pervasive nature and the way it continues to spread across cyber space.

Like I said first off though, all this submitting business can physically take a great deal of time and effort to accomplish. The great news is that there are now several software programs available which will virtually automate the whole process. Now instead of spending hours submitting you articles to just a handful of directories you can send them to literally hundreds at the press of a button! That means more traffic, more back links to your site and higher page rank for a lot less effort.

The whole search engine industry is play of uncertainty and if you are starting to aim internet web site advertising via URL submission, these are the milestones you need to achieve as your initial footsteps:

1. Page must have unique content.

2. Good URL structure.

3. Good link building. To get Good Page Rank.

As from the above 3 mentioned points 3rd is the most uncertain point & also hard to achieve correctly. As it is very well known that backlinks are your page rank, SEO industry has widen the efforts to get relevant links for sites.

What is BackLink?

In simple words it is a link coming from another website to your website.

If you are not having a good relevant links you may not have a good page rank. You can add your link to various sites to acquire good relevant backlink for web site advertising through below shown mechanism:

1. Add URL to directories.

2. Link Farming.

3. Automatic backlink generation through software.

4. Link accruing via link exchange.

5. Add a link to pixel buying sites or link generation sites.

1st point is good if only if your link is submitted to good directories like Demoz, Yahoo directory. 2nd, 3rd points are just garbage & waste of time as you don’t know for how much time your backlink will be alive & also how relevant these links are to you!

So here is the guideline for accruing good backlink so when you add link for web site promotions remember:

1. The link coming to your site has good Page Rank.

2. There should be not more then 100 links on the page from where the backlink is coming.

3. Also the tags in the links coming to your site. If it has given “nofollow” tag inside then it is useless.

4. Your anchor text of link coming to your site.

So it is worth to add your link or buy a link from that site which has a link less then 100 & a good Page Rank.

So if you are thinking for internet advertising web site promotion then choose site which knows importance of web site promotion so that your web site promotion & advertisement can have a real value.

Submitting your web site to a search engine is an effective way to bring targeted visitors to your web site. However, when it comes to web site submission, there are certain common mistakes that people tend to make repeatedly. By avoiding these mistakes, you can avoid a lot of grief and frustration in the end.

One of the most common mistakes is not checking that your web site is actually search engine friendly before you make your submission. There are many reasons why your website may not rank highly on a search engine, or why it might not even be included at all in the search engine’s database. One thing that will make your site search engine friendly is to make sure that all of your pages have appropriate and descriptive titles. Also, you should have good copy that is written for people and not just for search engines. Another crucial thing is to make sure that the search engine can access all of the pages. For example, do not use Flash or JavaScript as the only way to navigate between the pages of the website.

Another common mistake is not having effective links to your site from other websites before submitting. Search engines make significant use of links between websites to evaluate the quality of the content of the site. A crucial component of any search engine optimization strategy is to obtain a wide range of links from strategically selected websites.

To obtain links from other web sties you should implement a system that would involve the following:

• Locating other relevant web sites and assessing their suitability to obtain links to your site.

• Contacting the owners of those sites and offer to exchange links with them. You should already have added the link to their web site first, and draw their attention to this.

• Follow up with the other sites after a couple of weeks if you have not heard back from the site owner.

• Drop their site from your links page if you do not hear back from them.

You also must make sure to choose the correct keywords to optimize your site with. If you initially choose the wrong keywords, all the time and effort that you spent to get a high search engine ranking will be wasted. Be careful not to choose keywords that no one searches for, or keywords that do not bring in targeted traffic to your site. Only after you have identified the particular keywords that are suitable for optimizing the pages on your site should you then start to fine-tune your web pages to rank highly using those keywords.

Remember no to put too many keywords in the Meta Keywords tag either. There are sites that have hundreds of keywords listed in the Meta Keywords tag, in the hope that by listing the keywords this way, they will get a high ranking for those keywords. However, that is not the way things work; the Meta Keywords tag has almost completely lost its importance as far as search engine positioning is concerned. To get a high ranking for any keywords, you actually need to put them in the body content of your site.

Some people make the mistake of creating pages that only contain graphics. This is a problem because search engines only understand text. They cannot decipher images, so if your site contains lots of graphics but little text, it is unlikely to get a very high ranking in the search engines. For improving your rankings, you need to replace the graphics with keyword rich text for the search engine spiders to determine what your site contains.

And finally, in order to save time, many people will use automatic Submission Software or services to submit their sites to the major search engines. Submitting your site manually to the search engines can take a lot of time, and automatic submission tools can certainly help you save some of that time. However, most of the search engines do not like automatic submission tools, and they may even ignore some of your pages if you use them. Being listed on the major search engines is just too important for your site to not spend the necessary time submitting it manually.

You probably know that submitting articles can boost your website’s popularity in search engines. However, submitting to multiple article sites can be a daunting task. Directories expect different types of formatting. They allow variable numbers of characters in titles, and they may restrict links to as few as 1 - or they may permit several.

Whether you use article submission software or submit your articles manually, there are some advance preparations that will make your job much easier.

Of course before you submit, you must write an article. At the bottom of this page is a handy text template. Although the character counts in the template given here are less than indicated, there is a link in the resource box to an online template with correct parameters.

Compose your article in your favorite word processor; 500-1000 words is an optimal length. Before you begin, set the font to Courier 10 point. This should force your word processor to use plain text characters for quotes, rather than smart quotes and other characters that may cause problems. Allow your typing to wrap naturally. Press the ‘Enter’ key twice between paragraphs or other important blocks of text.

Avoid using double quotation marks. Instead, opt for single quotes [']. Utilize your word processor’s spell-check and grammar features, and check everything meticulously once your article is ready for submission. Then copy and paste into the template, using Notepad or a similar program.

If you see any strange-looking characters on your screen, perform a search and replace and convert them to plain text equivalents.

Your title should be kept below 60 characters. The line under ‘TITLE’ (*in the online template*), including the leading letters, contains exactly 60. Although most directories permit more, for SEO purposes you should keep your title within this limit. Your title is usually displayed in search engine results. Google will show approximately 68-70 characters. However, article sites often precede the title with a word like ‘Articles’ or ‘Content’. This must be added to the character count.

Once you are satisfied with the title, delete the first line of the template, if you wish.

If suitable, you can utilize the first paragraph of your article as a summary. Otherwise write an appropriate summary in your word processor - and keep it short. A 250-character count is ideal.

The article itself should be copied and pasted below the ‘ARTICLE’ heading.

In the ‘AUTHOR’S NOTE’ area, place your bio or linking information. Do not add html at this point - just bare links. Avoid immediately following a URL with a period or other punctuation. Some article directories will not format your link(s) correctly if you do.

Under ‘NO AUTO LINKS’ copy and paste your bio text, then format the links with html ‘href’ codes for the directories that allow it.

The ‘COPYRIGHT’ section is for an occasional article directory that requires it.

The ‘KEYWORDS’ area is where you enter two lines of comma-separated keywords. The number of characters, including the letters, is 100 (*in the online template*). Some directories allow 100, others up to 200.

Save as a plain text (.txt) file - but don’t exit yet!

Go through your copy and add html, as appropriate. Some directories allow codes for bold, italics, unordered lists, ordered lists, etc. Save the file again - indicating in the filename that this is the HTML version.

For example, you should have two filenames, similar to the following:

How-to-Write-an-Article.txt

How-to-Write-an-Article-HTML.txt

Next set up a spreadsheet. The first time you submit to a new directory, do a manual submission. You can register if required, get a feel for the ‘tone’ of the directory, and check format and linking requirements. Make notes in your spreadsheet. If you use article Submission Software for subsequent submissions, you will know exactly how to configure your program for each directory.

The resource box at the end of this article provides a link to a page with both versions of a sample article, the template, and an example spreadsheet.

Good luck with your submissions!

Search engine optimisation can be a laborious job that is why there are several tools out there to make your life easier but is their any substitute for human intervention? In this article I will go over some search engine optimisation software and tools and discuss the pros and cons of each. As I have said there are many available but automating your SEO can be dangerous as every website is different and some of the advice these tools give you can be of little help.

Directory submission software

Many webmasters feel submitting to lots of directories can help their website rank better. Unfortunately submitting to web directories can be time consuming as you have to first best identify the most suited category to your website. You then have To manually type your website title, description and keyphrases in to the web form before submitting. So to do this on a large scale can take a long time. However there is help with directory submission software, what this software will do is automatically fill in you’re the directories submission form.

All you need to do is set up the form details in advance and the software will fill in the details. The problem arises where you have to select a category as every directory has different names for their categories there are no way to automatically do this. I have seen claims by some software that it can do this for you but I don’t believe that is truly achievable. So in conclusion you can purchases software that can cut don’t the time it takes to submit to directories but there is no way at present to do it fully automatically.

Article Submission Software

The same applies to articles submission as it does to directories however the same problems arise but you should really only submit your article to one directory as duplicate content issues will arise and most article directories want the articles that they are displaying to be original so the best approach to this is just doing it manually. Although there is software available to do this but I would recommend against it for the above reasons.

Hiring a search engine optimisation company can help with choosing the best tools for your website design and they can do all the hard work for you.

This is the end of part one look out for part 2 coming very soon where I will discuss ranking checker software, Pagerank checker software and a few more besides.

Article submission tool enjoys a celebrity status with internet marketers especially among those who market with articles. It basically makes it easier for an online author to submit articles that would have otherwise been tedious when done manually. Article marketing has been an old workhorse of internet marketing and is still very effective in today’s internet marketing arena. Online entrepreneurs and website owners are missing out a huge chunk of targeted traffic if they do not make article submission a good part of their website promotion strategy. It is even worse if they are marketing with articles manually without the help of an article submission tool.

Article submission is an important step of article marketing with or without article submission tool. Even if you have written an excellent article, without sufficient exposure, it is worthless to you. No traffic means no sales and sign ups. Period! So submitting your articles cannot be overlooked. There are reasons why article submission to many article directories is useful and a must for maximum exposure. Article marketing is a numbers game. Whether you like it or not, for more details visit to www.newbies-copywriting.com the truth is the more article directories you submit to, you effectively increase the chance of your articles getting picked up by webmasters.

Webmasters are constantly looking for fresh and informational content for their websites. And article directories are a good source that continually supplies good content. So webmasters would always hang around the top article directories and even smaller niche directories, to search for articles packed with quality content. If you plan to submit to only a few article directories, for more details visit to www.perfect-ghostwriter.com your articles do not get noticed. So, spreading your net wider is the way to go! The result would be more webmasters publish your article and this is the sneaky part – they include your resource box link pointing to your website. So their website visitors also become yours.

Do you begin to see the power of submitting to a large number of article directories for instant, targeted and buying traffic? But wait, there is a problem with doing that without using an article submission tool. It can take hours and even days to submit one article to hundreds of article directories. And this means that we can only submit at the very most, one article in a week or within a few days at best. The time spent is one issue you have to grapple with. Another issue is it can be very tedious and the whole process can really be monotonous to the point that you wonder what you are doing for the whole day!

In the internet marketing world, there are often smart solutions to every problem. In this case, there are article submission tools available to take the load of article submission. One is to pay for article submission service such as using iSnare or Article Marketer to do the job. It sounds good that you can finally shake the submission process of articles off your back.

Article Submission Software in Recent Years has been Emerging as a Tool

Article submission software people always ask if they are really useful in article marketing. To paraphrase that, what online marketers really want to know is whether there truly are merits in using them to submit articles.
For more details go to: www.software-index-website.com the truth is there are two schools of thinking about using article submission software. As usual, there are those who do not believe it works while another group can vouch to its effectiveness. Why don’t we have a quick look at the workings of the article submission software before we decide if we should submit articles with them?

Article submission software in recent years has been emerging as a tool to replace manual submission. When I first started online marketing, I wrote articles and submit manually to these article directories like Go Articles, Hotly and a few other popular article directories. It often takes me more than a few hours to submit to more than a dozen article directories. There was the log in, followed by sieving through the article submission form, copying and pasting my article title, article body, article summary, relevant keywords and author resource boxes. Every article directory has a different interface, and very often I have to customize and twitch a little bit here and there. Trust me and those who have experienced all these, it are tough job and sweat. Okay, so here I have an article ready to be published after one day’s hard work including the writing. This is manual article submission done all without article submission software.

That was a typical scenario most early day article marketers and authors have to face just a couple of years back. Today, the landscape has changed with the emergence of article submission software. The great thing about the functions of article submission software is it makes the log in and article formatting for each individual article directory so fast and so easy. Some article Submission Software is semi-automatic which requires you to click from one article directory to another to post. Others which are more advanced require just the click of a button and off it goes to different article directories to post. In terms of speed and efficiency, such article submission software definitely makes the submission a breeze. As a result, we have more time to write quality articles.

If we can stick to writing an article and posting it to 100 article directories a day manually without article submissions software, we can really gain a great deal of exposure for our websites be it a business or hobby site. With so many submissions, we are putting our content before hundreds to thousands of eyeballs everyday. But the problem is we only have 24 hours and taking away time for sleep, meals and breaks, there are only a few hours to do that. We are limited in our time. With article submission software, it allows people to write more and post more each day. Instead of one article to 100 directories manually, we are talking about potentially, several articles to few 100s of article directories.

There is another twist to using article submission software. Search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN are constantly ranking websites or for accuracy purpose, web pages according to link popularity. Article directories are high Page Rank sites and links from these directories count as powerful one-way links. So how do we get these article directories to link to our websites? The answer is to submit articles! Articles are contextual content relevant to our websites and links from these articles to our websites are valuable because of the anchor text keywords we are targeting to rank high in the search engines. For help visit: www.pure-profit-software.com Article submission software can submit too many article directories and in just a few days, the number of high PR links to your site would increase.

There are alternatives to using article submission software such as using article submission services like Article Marketer, iSnare and others to submit articles. But they charge you either monthly or for per article submitted. Unless you have a huge advertising budget or enough money to pour into these services, buying article submission software would be a wiser choice since the payment is one-time. Typically, quality article submission software would cost around $99 onwards.

From the look of it, it does make sense to submit articles with article submission software. Many article marketers including myself have reaped in thousands of dollars from sales by using such software. Read a review of several popular article submission software marketers have in their marketing arsenal.
