How Decorating and Organizing Can Help
by Lisa DeClue
This area of home life is different from others in that it involves all the senses and to that degree it is successful, engendering varying emotions. Decorating isn't really a hobby, nor is it merely an activity; it's a driving force of many people to live in comfortable and pleasing surroundings while they regenerate from a stressful world. Yet, decorating by itself is not nearly as completely satisfying as having an organized home that is rich in beautiful detail. Decorating and organizing go hand-in-hand, like a one-two punch of home completion.
In an effort to motivate you to action, use these suggestions to help you on your way to an organized home this spring and summer.

Dreams Alive Magazine Updates and Opportunities
Updates:
- We Added More Interest Categories To our Article Feeds
Our Free Content Article Feeds which previously provided "In Your Home", "In Your Garden" and "Art & Humanities" categories, has been expanded to also include "Health & Lifestyle", "How To", "Just for Kids" and "Mind and Spirit" categories.
Having more than doubled our interest categories, we also scoured many of our older issues and found dozens of genuinely helpful articles to add to our article feeds. There are now hundreds of articles available through our article feeds, ensuring a fresh and appealing appearance to your visitors.
Spice up your website and provide a professional and visually appealing impact on your visitors. Each time the page loads, a different selection is provided from our vast array of articles. All you need to do is place some Javascript code on your page and we take care of everything else for you. Not only do the articles change with each page load, but we are always adding new articles to the list, ensuring that your visitors always find something new of interest.

Opportunities For our Advertisers:
- When you place a DVA (Dynamic Vertical Ad) within an issue, it becomes a permanent part of the issue you have placed it in and will draw traffic to your site for years to come. Meanwhile, for the 2 month duration of the issue, all DVA's associated with that issue (max 20 ads per issue) are randomly displayed on the home pages of Dreams Alive Magazine and Designing Online, as well as on the article search and listing pages of Dreams Alive Magazine.
With over 110,000 monthly page views by combining the Designing Online and Dreams Alive Magazine's home pages, 20 DVA's being randomly displayed will each average 5,500 displays each per month or 11,000 displays during the 2 month term. At the very minimum, you can expect a 3% click-through or a total of 330 solid clicks per DVA. This same traffic could easily cost over $150 with PPC, while the average DVA cost is only $50. Meanwhile, you will also be drawing in traffic for years from the permanently placed DVA within the selected issue(s) of Dreams Alive Magazine.
Place Your Ad Today.
Only the first 20 submissions per issue will be accepted. With the Christmas shopping season on the horizon, your wisest choice is to place your ads in both our Autumn (Sept 15th to Nov 15th) and Christmas (Nov 15th to Jan 15th) issues. Not only will this provide time for the search engines to digest your advertising, but it will ensure your ad is prominently displayed on the Dreams Alive Magazine and Designing Online home pages during the busiest time of the year, plus you'll get a 5% discount for placing your ad in two issues. Discounts up to 25% are provided when placing your ad in multiple issues.
