    WAX DRINKING STRAW
    January 3, 1888 - Washington, DC, U.S.A.

    The first wax drinking straw and the spiral winding tube-making process was patented by Marvin C. Stone in Washington, DC. Stone has been already a manufacturer of paper, cigarette holders. His idea was to make paper drinking straws to replace the use of natural rye grass straws. Stone made his prototype straw by winding strips of paper around a pencil and gluing it together. He then tried paraffin-coated manila paper, so the straws would not become soggy while someone was drinking. The first straws were hand rolled, and by 1890 his factory was producing more straws than cigarette holders.By 1905, he had also invented a machine to roll his straws, necessary to keep up with the growing demand, and new applications of spiral-wound tubing.

    ELECTRIC WATCH
    January 3, 1957 - Lancaster, PA, U.S.A.

    The world's first electric watch was introduced in Lancaster, PA by the Hamilton Watch Company. Research began in 1946, but it was to take more than ten years to develop a viable watch. On this day, Hamilton held a press conference. The idea of a watch which never needed winding was very exciting to 1950's consumers, who were captivated by progress and modernity. The Hamilton Electric was an instant hit. Its popularity was enhanced by a number of very dramatic case styles with non-traditional asymmetrical styling; they were visual reminders of the ultra-modern movements inside the case. By 1969, when production ended, more advanced technology had already rendered the Hamilton Electric obsolete.

But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

Getting the desired traffic is very important when putting up a site online. After all, it would be worthless to put up a site with all sorts of attractions, if no one will even visit for a peek. Thus, many online sites have invested greatly on ways to get traffic flowing.

One of methods that is often employed in traffic generation is link building. To the layman, link building is basically the creation of links in various websites that would then lead back to your sites. This means that you will be able to get traffic coming to you even if users don't directly go to your site. As in any other SEO techniques, link building is not a simple task.

In fact it can rather pretty complex. However, there are some useful strategies that you can do to make link building not only easier, but also more effective.First up you need to know your target market. Be familiar with their interests and also know where they are most commonly found online. This will help you in determining how you will put up branch your links to reach your target. In order to get more information about the target for link building purposes, you need to interact with them by engaging in online conversation.

This will augment what you have gathered from outside sources.Once you have all your information, then it's time to put up your links. Your goal here is to reach a wide share of your target, while at the same time, be able to snag at least a bit of those from the outside. Social networking sites are indispensable when it comes to link building. Here you can put up an article, place comments or simply do anything that will get your links noticed.

However, you need to be sure that your contents actually do have something to say and not just contain gibberish for the sake of linking. This way, you will genuinely get the attention of your audience enough that they actually click on your links, and thus, generate the traffic you want.A good strategy to use when link building is to let other people distribute your links for you. This will even work better if you pair it with good content as people will automatically put up your links on their own pages if they like it, even without you asking them.

Thus be sure to provide your viewers with the exact information, such as your site's complete address, so that they can post it up. Better yet, you can also give them the code for the link so that they can just past it to their HTML code and it will automatically show up on their pages.However, while you are out posting links, you will also receive requests from others to put up links of their own on your site. The best thing here is to allow as many as you can. It is not only a sign of goodwill, but linking out is also a good way to get traffic. People going on to the other sites will more likely to come across you more when you serve as a route to get there.
