Lets use 66.2 miles as an example in this case.

You will need a minimum of 4 city’s to accomplish this task! Each city MUST be able to send 10 waves of troops! YOU WILL NEED TO USE ALL 10 HERO’S FROM EACH CITY TO DO THIS! (Yes, I use my politics hero but only on around wave 8 or 9 from each city! Use poly hero’s at your own risk!) Although I have NEVER had any issues doing this!

we will start by checking the distance in miles from all 4 of your city’s. here’s an example.

city 1=66.2 miles from npc
city 2=50.2 miles from npc
city 3=39.0 miles from npc
city 4=38.0 miles from npc

The furthest city away from your intended target npc will ALWAYS be the city you should send your first waves from because this distance and time needed to arrive is the greatest and will allow you to set your CAMP TIMERS on all your other waves from all your other city’s so that all of your waves arrive as close to the same times as possible! The closer together they all hit the better off you are due to wall def regenerating in-between hits, thus making the city capping take less time with fewer losses of your troops! I can not stress this enough!.

Your first wave will be whats called the BREAKER wave and must consist of the following troops,

95k arch with 1 k each of scout, sword and pike.

all other waves will be your loyalty lowering waves which will consist solely of nothing but archers and and warriors and will be in waves of 10 k and or 20 k archers using 10k war with each wave as you will see in my following example. The reason for some loy waves being 20 k arch and not 10 k arch is so that you can lower the loy of the city faster with fewer waves.

This example will be using a total of 40 waves which is the MINIMUM amount you should EVER send! sending less will accomplish nothing except making you look silly due to not capping it after all your hard work!

(PLEASE NOTE!…please plan accordingly so that your 4 largest hits (one from each city) will be using one of your higher lvl hero’s! it will help greatly with the extra OOMPH!)

(Also note that using junk or trash hero’s you do so at your own risk. this example is planned using decent lvl hero’s (ALL TEN) from every city)

lets begin…

*******************************************

66.2 miles

city 1 = wave 1 = Breaker wave 95k arch and 1 k each of scout, sword, pike ONLY, with 33 MINUTE CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 45 min, 26 sec to hit.

city1 = wave 2-10 = 10k arch and 10k warriors ONLY WITH NO CAMP TIME! 2 hrs, 45 min, 32 sec to hit.

total = 10 waves so far

*******************************************

50.2 miles

city 2 = wave 1 = 20k arch and 10k warriors ONLY with 40 MIN. CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 45 min, 32 sec to hit.

city 2 = wave 2-10 = 10k arch and 10k warriors ONLY with 40 MIN. CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 45 min, 32 sec to hit.

total = 20 waves so far

*******************************************

39.0 miles

city 3 = wave 1 = 20k arch and 10k warriors ONLY with 1 HOUR AND 9 MIN. CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 46 min, 31 sec to hit.

city 3 = wave 2-10 = 10k arch and 10k warriors ONLY with 1 HOUR AND 9 MIN. CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 46 min, 31 sec to hit.

total = 30 waves so far

*******************************************

38.0 miles

city 4 = wave 1 = 20k arch and 10k warriors ONLY with 1 HOUR AND 12 MIN. CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 47 min, 01 sec to hit.

city 4 = wave 2-10 = 10k arch and 10k warriors ONLY with 1 HOUR AND 12 MIN. CAMP TIME takes 2hrs, 47 min, 01 sec to hit.

total = 40 waves sent!

*******************************************

As you can see from this example, all my waves will hit either within a few seconds of each other or within 1 minute later of each other, thus making the actual capping of the city from the time your 1st wave (breaker) hits to your last wave hitting taking less than 5 minutes of time NOT COUNTING TRAVEL TIMES.

PLEASE! experiment on a lvl 10 extremely close to you (a few miles away at most!) using 4 city’s FIRST before attempting to cap a lvl 10 npc 20-100 miles away from your city’s! If you don’t and lose I can not and will not be held responsible in any way nor will I reciprocate by helping you with any resources to rebuild troop or food losses from your loss! SO PRACTICE FIRST! Don’t try to be a hero until the hero in you can actually wear the hero’s cape so to speak! LOL!

(NOTE!!! You will need a 5th city from which to immediately move into it from or your enemy may take your new beachfront property away from you LOL!)

You can also accomplish this task using the breaker wave and all loy waves using ONLY arch without the warriors, however, you will then need to add between 4-6 additional waves from a 5th city in order to still be able to cap it and I advise that you still send the 20k arch wave from each city. Once you’ve capped a few and feel comfortable doing it, you can experiment with diff troop amounts etc.

Good luck to you all and happy 10 hitting!

I must also add a ty to my teacher RiverWalker Super Sever 45. (A friend from another time and place) He truly is the 10 city capping master!

Allnut Enterprises is a diverse company. We do a lot of things, such as a brick and mortar that does well, and my job as a freelance writer and sporadic internet marketer. Things have gone well this year, and then, like everything else in this country, things begin to slide downhill in a very big hurry. Because my work as a freelance writer is funded by advertising, and advertising has gone south for the company I contract with, I find myself a bit lacking in work. Fact of the matter is, I find it very lacking. So, as Granny always said, “when life hands ya lemons, make lemonade.” I’ve done that.

I joined Wealthy Affiliate this week. I did a lot of agonizing and due diligence before I did so. I have, like so many others, been taken in by a lot of claims that just were not there. I have spent thousands on the “next best thing” and run up a ton of credit card debt in the process. I quit doing that this year and focused on my writing, which has made me a lot of money. I made the huge mistake of thinking that it would last forever. I had all my eggs in one basket, and now I am slammed. it is my own fault.

I can pull this out. You might think that in a down economy that this would not be easy to do. But my strategy is one that will work in this current economy, and I am okay with it. Even at 65, I ain’t so damn old I can’t learn something new. And that, folks, is the way of the world…

Here, we discuss the ideas behind writing and what to do to drive traffic. Enjoy…

Do you own a website that is receiving so-so traffic or receiving no traffic at all? Would you like significantly more website visitors without spending any money? If your answer is YES to both questions, then you should try a method that has been kept secret by knowledgeable website owners and marketers as a top website traffic generator — writing articles!

The idea behind writing articles to drive traffic is simple. You write as many quality and original articles as you can, and then submit each article to as many article directories as possible.
Note that when writing your articles, you must deliver content that is helpful, informative and non-promotional in nature. Moreover, your article content must focus specifically on the service or industry your website is targetted for.

After you have written your articles, spell-check and proof read each and every one of them. Dont waste your readers time with a hastily written or grammatically incorrect article. You will not get any website traffic with a poorly written article.
Now that you have your proof-read articles in hand, what next? Submit your articles to as many free-content, free-for-reprint article directories as will accept your articles. There are also some niche article directories that will cater to your industry and you should also submit your articles to these.

So where does the traffic come from? An article directory will typically allow you to place a link back to your website in a section about the author. Readers who like your article will be able to click on that link and visit your site.
Write one article and submit them to 1,000 article directories and you have obtained 1,000 inbound links free of charge. If several ezines pick up your article for redistribution, then your article can potentially reach hundreds of thousands of people via the ezines mailing lists. If you wrote 100 of such articles and repeated the process for each one of these, can you imagine the volume of web traffic you will be receiving?

Writing articles clearly gives you a free method to increasing your website traffic. Start writing articles today!

Many people are not aware of the need of writing free articles and publishing them. I hope this article will answer many of your common questions about Article writing.

1. Why should one write articles and publish them for free?

If you are involved with any online business and have written at least a single article you will definitely know that Article writing is one of the best ways .to get traffic to your online business. Whatever is your business an appropriate article on that subject can do wonders for you.

By writing an article and publishing it in your favorite directories for free, it is true that you may not get immediate monetary benefit. But, in fact, you will earn a lot more in subsequent days and months, or even years, than a mere one time remuneration.

If your particular article is an easy and good piece of information with search engine optimization, it will be picked up by many ezine publishers and will be published for fresh contents in their website, to attract search engines and their members, which ultimately bring you more visitors to your site.

2. Is there any other benefit of writing for free?

Another important benefit of writing a free article is that you can achieve credibility by sharing your knowledge and expertise with others. After all, many people come to the internet for the purpose of gathering information. Most of the people trust the people who have achieved a good credibility and will be interested to do business with them.

3. Who can write articles?

Any one, who has a fair knowledge on any particular subject, can share his/her knowledge with others in the form of an article. If you have a flair of writing it will be an added bonus.

In case, you do not feel confident enough to write an article to show your expertise to the world, you can take the help of a ghost writer. A Google search will bring out a list of ghost writers, and you can choose any one according to your budget. They will write articles for you on payment according to your need and you can publish them with your name on it. That will also generate a lot of traffic to your online business.

4. How should one write an article?

You can write articles in simple words, short and informative, easy to understand and without confusing the reader. A key-word rich article will have wonderful results.

5. What type of information that can be written as an article?

The information gained through your personal experience recently or over the years will be the most helpful information that can be shared with your readers, so that the reader will be more pleased to learn about it. It is also a great web promotion tool for your online business.

As a Freelance writer, I see some really horrid stuff out there. I have tested several services for quality of content, and have found them lacking. After all this, I decided to start my own website, providing good PLR articles and doing quite a bit of freelance work for several high PR websites. I make a good living at it, and there is no end to the amount of work. Check out Exclusive Private Label Rights to get some idea of my services.

This article discusses PLR and what to do with it after you obtain it. A recent informal survey of a few colleagues shows me that they all have a ton of PLR content on their hard drives, and do nothing with it. What a drag…

You may have seen the term Private Label Rights or PLR articles being tossed around frequently lately. PLR articles are articles you can buy (usually in packages or as part of a membership) that you may edit and use as you wish. Unlike free reprint articles, you are not required to link back to anyone elses website which makes them appealing to many web publishers.
Once you understand the concept behind PLR articles, you can see why they are appealing. Most people can envision the value of adding the articles to their websites. But, did you know there are more ways to use PLR articles than that?
1. Add them to your blog. Similar to adding PLR articles to your website, you can take excerpts and use them on your blog for fresh content. Whether you take a portion and use it as a ‘tip of the day’ or use the entire article, PLR articles can be a huge time saver for you.
2. Send them in your newsletter. Need content for your newsletter? PLR articles are an option. Of course, if youre developing a relationship with your readers, you may wish to edit the articles to make them your own voice. However, you can pull a section from a PLR article – use it as inspiration — and whip out a newsletter in minutes.
3. Start an ecourse If you purchase a package of PLR articles based on a theme, its quite easy to turn them into an ecourse simply by adding them to your autoresponder. Something as simple as ‘Five Ideas for Kids Lunches’ can become a 5 day ecourse to grow a big newsletter list.
4. Use them in your podcast Take a PLR article and use it as inspiration for a podcast. Add the content and youre done.
5. Send them in a print mailing Direct mailing is huge. If you have a list of postal mailing addresses, put together a free report from PLR articles and send it out.
6. Create a special report Simply bulk together some PLR articles that have the same topic, and make them flow into a special report. Turn it into a pdf file and give it away to your website visitors.
See how easy that is? The only hard part is finding a PLR service that is high quality and fits your niche. Look around. Make sure the PLR package or membership you choose provides you with high quality articles so you can create something youll be proud of.

There is no excuse for poor content in this day and age. Google has made it so easy to research that a 10 year old can provide good content. I blame much of this on the mindset that people have of just getting content, who cares if it is any good or not? This will kill them in the end, and they will see their biz go down the drain. Google has gotten smart, and uses LSI to determine good content, and content that is relevant.

As an author, you possess the true secret to Internet book marketing success – your writing skills. Why? The biggest hurdles that Internet Marketers face is providing original content that is written to satisfy:

* The search engines to obtain good positioning

* Information hungry surfers searching for quality niche content

* The continuous need to provide quality content to maintain search engine positioning and targeted traffic

Becoming an Authorpreneur

An Authorpreneur does not compete using the traditional book marketing model. Instead, they view their books as products and effectively combine their writing skills with proven Internet Marketing techniques to accomplish better results. This allows them to become an expert within a niche based upon their books theme.

If you become an Authorpreneur, you can dominate your niche by doing what you love – writing. By understanding the writing process, you will accomplish what other Webmasters either fail to do or pay ghostwriters to accomplish. It isnt a matter of well-written material from an editors viewpoint. Rather, it is well-written from an Internet Marketing perspective. For example, Web pages, sales letters, and articles all require different writing techniques to accomplish different Internet marketing goals:

* Theme-based Web pages pre-sell products and convince visitors to continue on to the products sales page

* Sales pages drive home the product benefits and converts visitors into customers

* Articles provide links back to your Web pages to obtain good search engine positioning and drive targeted traffic to your Websites landing pages. They can also link directly to a Web page that is pre-selling a product which is a solution to a problem that you discussed in your article.

The Importance of Providing Unique Well-Written Content Too many Website owners are more concerned about cutting corners and rushing to get their Website online rather than:

* Ensuring that their site addresses the needs of their visitors

* Properly designing their Websites navigation

* Properly writing their Website content to place well in the search engines

* Developing a linking strategy that improves search engine placement and generates targeted traffic

* Developing a list of subscribers that grows into long term customers

By placing well in the search engines, you can increase your chances of making sales and gaining PR exposure by as much as 46%. By knowing how to correctly research your theme-based keywords, and properly optimizing them into your unique and original content, you will achieve what 95% of authors and Internet Marketers fail to achieve – dominating your niche in the search engines.

Just imagine your book sales, PR accomplishments and the supplemental income you can acquire by becoming an expert in a niche based upon your books theme while incorporating an effective Internet book marketing program.

My prediction is that when we look back, 2007 will be remembered as ‘The Year of the Authorpreneur’ for Internet book marketing. Writers without a solid knowledge of Internet Marketing techniques will not survive online. Internet Marketers without effective writing skills will either fail or have to continue to invest in ghostwriters to survive.

By becoming an Authorpreneur, which blends both skill sets, you will be part of the next generation of successful Internet marketers with the added benefit of possessing publishing credentials.

Recently, in an interview, I was asked ‘Is it ethical to use private label rights and ghostwritten articles?’

Let me step back a moment and explain… Private label rights (or PLR) articles and ghostwritten articles are used by web owners as a method of outsourcing some of their content.

* PLR articles are packages of articles that are pre-written and sold to more than one person.

* Ghostwritten articles are articles that are written by someone else just for you that you can put your name on and are not sold to anyone else.

In both cases, you are allowed to edit the content as much or as little as youd like and use the articles on your website, blog, or in your newsletter.

So, back to the question. Is it ethical? My answer was, ‘usually, yes’.

If youre using the articles and saying ‘written by me’ without changing anything at all, it may bite you in the butt later, when someone else does the same thing. Does that make it unethical? Not really. Its just not smart. Can you use the article as it is or edited slightly, without saying it was written by you? Of course!

Most PLR packs are written by ghostwriters. Ghostwriters are professional researchers and writers. If you purchase well-written, informative PLR or ghostwritten articles and share them with your readers, dont you all benefit? Your readers benefit by getting great information. You benefit by saving time. Is it any different than hiring a graphic designer or webmaster? Not in my opinion. Heck, most politicians dont write their own speeches. They leave that to people who are professional speech writers.

Of course, youd want to only use top-notch articles and not ‘sell-out’ just to pump out blog posts or web pages quicker. We recommend you research thoroughly before choosing any ghostwriter or PLR service.

Heres what to look for in a PLR service so you dont waste your money:

1. Make sure the articles are written well. 2. Make sure that you know what topics youll receive (instead of some grab-bag of articles). 3. Be sure that the people running the program have some experience in article writing themselves, so they know what theyre doing.

Theres no point in doing everything on your own, especially if you dislike writing. All successful business people outsource the tasks they are not good at or dislike. Check it out. It might take some pressure off you and allow you to spend more time with your kids. And, thats definitely ethical.

If you are involved in any kind of online business activity you probably already understand the importance of using articles as a part of your marketing plan. People use the internet most often to find information on a particular subject matter. A well written article should provide that information.

I have a website which I use to publish other peoples articles with. Since I do not automatically accept all articles to be published, it requires me to read the steady supply of fresh articles being constantly written.

For anyone familiar with this website management activity, the phrase ‘fresh articles’ can be somewhat misleading. Its amazing how many different articles can say the same thing, offering very little new perspective.

Article marketing has become so popular that it has spawned a whole new Private Label Rights industry. Basically this involves one group of people writing articles which can then be used by a different group of people as their own article. The original authors name is not reference as part of the article publishing.

While on the surface this seems to be a simple solution for web site owners looking to use articles for promotion of their business, the long term affect is that the same ideas are repeated over and over in slightly different format each time. Publishers looking to use your material learn to spot this kind of writing in a ‘New York Minute’ and quickly discard it as duplicate content.

So, this brings us to the point of this article. How can article marketing work for you?

1 – Use only original articles for publishing.

Most people would probably rather endure a root canal than write lots of articles. It also takes time and experience to gather the material needed for writing an article.

All of us have personalities (some more than others…). Personalities are kind of like snowflakes – no two are the same. Our personalities show thru our writing style, making the information more appealing and interesting. Sometimes this happens automatically, other times it requires time and effort to perfect this quality of writing.

Bottom line is that information sells and if youve developed the ability to generate quality information then youve developed for yourself a solid asset for business purposes.

Another approach many online business owners have taken is to use ghost writing services who write unique content for you only. I have also tried this approach and have learned that high-quality writing is not inexpensive. You pretty much get what you pay for.

If you have the financial resources for this kind of quality writing then use it! Many other large company executives, politicians and presidents of nations have been doing it this way for years. Their time is certainly more valuable than sitting down to craft a well written article.

Do a cost and benefit analysis first. If the profit is still there and the quality of the articles meets your standards, then it would seem to be a good business decision in favor of using ghost writing services.

2 – Experiment with different writing styles.

For most people, quality writing does not just happen overnight. It takes time and effort. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Reading some of my first articles, I realize this first hand (its still not perfect…). But I think the reason they are still being published and read by others is that the content was something I believed in and not something just properly structured for the search engines.

Writing for the search engines, however, is not something to be ignored. If you have any experience with running an online business you understand the importance of this and realize it cannot be ignored.

Crafting the proper balance between interesting and informative article content takes time to learn. It requires being flexible with your writing style and using different formats.

Some information is best communicated with longer paragraphs, other material with short one-liner paragraphs. Top ten lists or other similar lists bring clarity to how-to kinds of articles. Try different formats; see what works best for you.

3 – Measure the effectiveness of your articles.

Most popular article directory sites capture viewing statistics for the articles you publish. View these statistics periodically to see what people are more interested in. You may be surprised what you learn.

Realize that different writing styles affect readership but also the subject matter of the article also affects viewing statistics. Some subjects are boring and other subjects have been written about by many different authors.

If you want to measure the success of using different writing styles experiment using the same subject area. This will give you a better indication of whether an article is popular due to the way you wrote it rather than the subject.

4 – Realize the long term benefits.

For most people quality article writing is not learned overnight. It takes time and mostly patience.

The rewards however can be many. If youre selling an online product or service, you now have available a very effective, low cost method to promote with. Being able to effectively promote on the internet can make or break your business.

The rewards are also residual. This means simply that published articles which are interesting, informative and read by others tend to stay published for many years. If you have a link pointing back to your site in the resource box, then your visibility on the internet continues to grow day by day as you generate quality information.

David must have been reading my mind – I had just signed a contract for 5K articles for a PR6 site, and as I have been working with MS Office’s version of voice recognition software, I was very pleased to get this from him.  Tnx, Dave!

It works flawlessly.  I have always had the habit of talking to myself when writing, and now it has a real plus benefit to my work.  Now, I can stare out the office window and be inputting text to the computer at about a 99% accuracy rate.  DNS9 is a whole lot better than the older version I had, which I abandoned a couple of years ago because of accuracy and “hanging” of my ‘puter.  Not so with DNS9.  I am very pleased.

Anything we can do to increase our productivity through technology is to me a good thing.  And DNS9 fills the bill for me.  I find that my articles have a much smoother flow to them, and that I cut down the time writng cuz I only have to talk to myself.

The downside?  My wife hears me chatting away in my office and wants to know who the heck I am talking to!  Another big advantage is that I work with a lot of my clients using Skype, and as I already have the headset on,  I don’t have to fumble with a mic.

If you are a serious writer like I am, then considering DNS9 is a wise choice.  Just be careful who ya talk to…

As a writer, I don’t have that problem.  However, trying to keep up with (at last count)  80 content sites, it gets very boring at times, and can be a real pain.  I would rather be creating new things, but cannot neglect this most important aspect of my online business.  So, I have to grin and bear it, until I can find a personal assistant that will take over this chore for me.
Because I love technology, and think we should always use it to our best advantage, I have devised a method that works well for me, and helps provide unique content in the process.  Anyone who has been around internet marketing long knows about PLR, and is aware of the crap you generally get when you buy it or get it as a bonus.  Most of it is about as informative and exciting as a wet dishrag.

It is, however, a good building block for unique contet of your own.  I like to have a word count of at least 500 for my articles.  Generally speaking, most PLR articles I see run anywhere from 3-400 word count – not enough for my needs.  Adding to it can be easy with the method I have devised.

Here is what I do.  I have MS Office 2003, and although I do not like using Word for writing content to publish to websites, I also have NoteTab Pro.  I enable the speech recognition software in MS Word, so that I can create articles by voice recognition.  I then utilize this feature in NTP – something that Microsoft has allowed us to do.  First, I open up my keyword list in MS Excel.  I size the window so that it fits on the right side of my screen, showing only the keyword list.

Then I open up NTP, turn on the microphone, load the PLR article I want to change,and create my article by simply reading the content paragraph by paragraph, and inserting my own content as I go along.  I read from the keyword list on my right, and in that way can make my content relevant, and can also edit as I go along.

This may sound cumbersome, and it is until you get the hang of it.  One of the most important things to do is “train” your computer to recognize your voice.  I can’t emphasize this enough.  If you do not take the time to train your computer, then accuracy will suffer, and you will get frustrated with this practice and not use it.  But if you spend an hour training the computer to recognize your voice and the computer learns to understand you, the software is about 95% accurate.  i can live with that…

This is nowhere near what I do to create uniqyue content.  I write unique content for clients on private forums, and this process works for me.  Give it a try…

Peace,

Charlie~
