This plan includes:

Submission to over 100 search engines

We will submit your web site to the leading 100 search engines and directories, reaching over 85% of Internet users. Don't get mislead by submission companies that offer 100,000+ submissions as they are simply sending your web site to small niche directories. These pages may no longer exist and in many cases were set up to collect e-mail addresses to use or sell. In the web site promotion game, quality and reach wins over quantity. We are constantly updating our list of search engines to make sure that you site is submitted to the best search engines, those that will drive the most qualified traffic to your web site.

12 monthly re-submissions

Your site will be submitted each month for a full year. Submitting your website manually to one search engine is not enough. Submitting manually to hundreds, each month, is impossible. We submit your site every month, to make sure search engines will not drop your listings.

Monthly reporting via email

Monthly summary submission reports are sent to you by email. Once a month, immediately after your scheduled monthly submission, we will send you detailed report that lists out all the search engines and directories that your site was submitted to, so you can keep track of the submission process.

Personal control panel

Using your control panel, you can manage the data of sites your submitted, change your keywords and title and generate Meta Tags for your site. Customers of the more advanced plans will have access to their keywords research, optimisation instructions and ranking performance.

Meta Tags generator

Get access to our professional Meta Tags generator. The importance of Meta tags for your web site can't be emphasized enough, as they are the first to be checked by the search engines. The Meta Tags generator will help you to create proper Meta Tags for your website.

EU backs plans for .kid TLD

The European Parliament is backing proposals to introduce a new .kid top level domain (TLD) just for children to protect them from inappropriate content on the internet.

The new TLD which is similar to .com or .org would be restricted to sites especially tailored for youngsters, with content regularly vetted and approved by an independent body.

The proposals form part of a report submitted by French MEP Marielle de Sarnez, who called for children to be given greater protection online.

Proposing a package of measures de Sarnez also called for the introduction of an Europe-wide toll-free telephone service for parents and teachers to find out about how to filter unwanted content and to report unsuitable material.

Such a move should also be backed by an information campaign to warn people of the dangers of the net, said de Sarnez.

Despite these proposals, MEPs claim they are realistic enough to admit that no method of protection is totally effective on its own.

"It is therefore essential to co-ordinate all protective measures, including parental control, criminal penalties as well as the involvement and accountability of economic operators," said MEPs in a statement.

"It is felt that educators could not solely rely on technology, but also that businesses could not escape their responsibilities under the pretext that parental control would suffice and that governments had a duty to introduce rules that would protect the weakest members of society."

LCN will continue to keep you updated on this story.

A Christmas Gift Idea - Help protect endangered wildlife

Many species and their habitats are desperately in need of protection, so adopting an animal for a friend, family member, colleague, or even yourself, you're doing much more than just giving a present, you're helping to protect the future of many species of animals and tackle some of the biggest conservation challenges facing our world today!

Here are a few sites that offer adoption that you may find useful:

nationalzoo.si.edu/AdoptSpecies

The Smithsonian National Zoological Park has just recently had a new arrival "Tai Shan" a Baby Panda Cub. You can watch his progress live via web cam by visiting nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas

The Adopt a Species program helps support the care of more than 2,600 animals at the National Zoo. Adopt a Species also makes a great gift for a great cause! It's easy and fun to adopt.

www.wwf.org.uk/adoption

Adopt any of their animals from as little as £2.50 a month and they will send you a Welcome Pack, containing: a certificate, a print of your animal, facts about the species, a greetings card, tips on a 'greener' lifestyle, WWF screensavers, and a soft toy. You'll also receive quarterly updates.

www.gorillafund.org

Dian Fossey was the famed scientist who dedicated her life to saving Rwanda's mountain gorillas. Today, the organisation she founded continues her efforts to save the last remaining gorillas of Central East Africa.

An excellent way to help protect the mountain gorillas is to adopt a gorilla from one of the Karisoke Research Center's groups. When you adopt, you'll receive a photo of your gorilla and adoption papers.

Firework safety

Whether you are a young person watching a firework display or an adult organising a display, follow the safety code for a safer fireworks night.

Firework safety code:

• Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114
• Don’t drink alcohol if setting off fireworks
• Keep fireworks in a closed box
• Follow the instructions on each firework
• Light them at arm’s length
• Stand well back and never go near a firework that has been lit - even if it hasn't’t gone off, it could still explode
• Never put fireworks in your pocket or throw them
• Always supervise children around fireworks
• Light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves to hold them
• Never give sparklers to a child under five
• When your sparkler goes out, don’t touch it as it could still burn you
• Have a bucket of water handy to cool down the sparkler once it has burnt out.
• Keep pets indoors

In an emergency

• Cool the burn or scald with cold water for at least ten minutes
• Don't touch the burn or pull away any material stuck to it
• Cover the burn with clean, non-fluffy material to prevent infection - cling film is ideal
• If clothing catches fire, get the person to stop, drop to the floor and roll them in heavy material, such as a curtain
• Seek medical advice.

How to protect your pets

• Keep Dogs and Cats inside
• Close all windows and doors and block of Dog Cat flaps.
• Draw the curtains and maybe switch on the TV or Radio for distraction
• Cover bird cages
• Bring in Rabbit/Guinea Pig hutches (if you cannot do this turn it around so that it faces the fence and not the garden).
• Cover aviaries and hutches with a blanket or duvet (make sure there is ventilation).
• Give small animals extra bedding to hide in.
