Anemones are variable perennials with rhizomatous, tuberous, fleshy, or fibrous rootstocks. Most anemones produce both stem and basal leaves that are rounded to oval and mid- to dark green. The leaves are dissected and may be hairy. Anemones are grown for their open saucer-shaped or shallow, cup-shaped flowers in many colors. The cultivar, 'Gertrude' blooms in a shade of strawberry-pink with a black center. Originally named 'Lady Seton'.

Plant Care
How-to : Fertilization for Established PlantsEstablished plants can benefit from fertilization. Take a visual inventory of your landscape. Trees need to be fertilized every few years. Shrubs and other plants in the landscape can be fertilized yearly. A soil test can determine existing nutrient levels in the soil. If one or more nutrients is low, a specific instead of an all-purpose fertilizer may be required. Fertilizers that are high in N, nitrogen, will promote green leafy growth. Excess nitrogen in the soil can cause excessive vegetative growth on plants at the expense of flower bud development. It is best to avoid fertilizing late in the growing season. Applications made at that time can force lush, vegetative growth that will not have a chance to harden off before the onset of cold weather.
How-to : Fertilization for Annuals and Perennials
Annuals and perennials may be fertilized using: 1.water-soluble, quick release fertilizers; 2. temperature controlled slow-release fertilizers; or 3. organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion. Water soluble fertilizers are generally used every two weeks during the growing season or per label instructions. Controlled, slow-release fertilizers are worked into the soil ususally only once during the growing season or per label directions. For organic fertilizers such as fish emulsion, follow label directions as they may vary per product.
Conditions : Full to Partial SunFull sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it!
Conditions : Types of Pruning
Types of pruning include: pinching, thinning, shearing and rejuvenating.
Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look.
Conditions : Full Sun
Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day.
Conditions : DryDry is defined as an area that regularly receives water, but is fast draining. This results in a soil that is often dry to a depth of 18 inches.
Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants
Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.
How-to : Reduce Watering
This plant requires less watering during winter months, so reduce watering from late November through early March.
How-to : Planting BulbsPlant bulbs at a depth that is three times their height, and at least 1-1/2 bulb-widths apart. Work a little bone meal fertilizer into the bottom of your hole, and then place the bulb upright in the hole. The more pointed end is almost always the top. If you have trouble telling which is the top, look for evidence of where a stem or roots were last year. If in doubt, plant them sideways. Fill in with soil gently, making sure there are no rocks or clods that would impede the bulb's stem. When planting a great number of bulbs, dig out an area to the specified depth, place bulbs and replace soil. This ensures that ground has been properly prepared and bulbs are evenly spaced.
Plant bulbs in natural drifts rather that formal rows: bulbs can fail or be eaten, leaving holes in a formal arrangement, or will shift with freezing and thawing. If you have trouble with gophers or squirrels eating your bulbs, try sprinkling red pepper in the holes, covering the bulbs with chicken-wire, surround bulbs with sharp shards of gravel or other substance, or planting rodent-repelling bulbs like Fritillaria nearby.
How-to : Planting and Removing Annuals
When planting annuals, begin by preparing the soil. Rototill rotted compost, soil conditioner, pulverized bark, or even builders sand into the existing soil and rake it smooth. Annuals grow quickly, so space them as recommended on plant tags. Remove plants from their containers or packs gently, being sure to keep as much soil as you can around the root ball. If the rootball is tight, loosen it a bit by gently separating white, matted roots with your fingers or a pocket knife. Plant at the same depth they were in the containers. Gently fill in around the plants, providing support but not cutting off air to the roots. Water the plants well.
Through the season, be sure to fertilize for optimal performance. Take special care to cut back or completely remove any diseased plants, as soon as you see there is a problem. At the end of the season, be sure to remove all plants and their root balls. Rake the bed well to prepare it for the next season's planting.
How-to : Pinching and Thinning Perennials
Once you plant a perennial, it does not mean that you will enjoy years of maintenance-free gardening. Perennials need to be cared for just like any other plant. One thing that distinguishes perennials is that they tend to be active growers that have to be thinned out occasionally or they will loose vigor.
As perennials establish, it is important to prune them back and thin them out occasionally. This will prevent them from completely taking over an area to the exclusion of other plants, and also will increase air circulation thereby reducing the incidence of diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew.
Many species also flower abundantly and produce ample seed. As blooms fade it is advisable to deadhead your plant; that is, to remove spent flowers before they form seed. This will prevent your plants from seeding all over the garden and will conserve the considerable energy it takes the plant to produce seed.
As perennials mature, they may form a dense root mass that eventually leads to a less vigorous plant. It is advisable to occasionally thin out a stand of such perennials. By dividing the root system, you can make new plants to plant in another area of the garden or give away. Also root pruning will stimulate new growth and rejuvenate the plant. Most perennials may be successfully divided in either spring or fall. Do a little homework; some perennials do have a preference.
How-to : Planting Perennials
Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable.
How-to : Plant Bulbs
It's time to plant bulbs.
Pest : Slugs and SnailsSlugs and snails favor moist climates and are mollusks, not insects. They can be voracious feeders, eating just about anything that is not woody or highly scented. They may eat holes in leaves, strip entire stems, or completely devour seedlings and tender transplants, leaving behind tell-tale silvery, slimy trails.
Prevention and control: Keep your garden as clean as possible, eliminating hiding places such as leaf debris, over-turned pots, and tarps. Groundcover in shady places and heavy mulches provide protection from the elements and can be favorite hiding places. In the spring, patrol for and destroy eggs (clusters of small translucent spheres) and adults during dusk and dawn. Set out beer traps from late spring through fall.
Many chemical controls are available on the market, but can be poisonous and deadly for children and pets; take care when using them - always read the label first!
Fungi : Rusts
Most rusts are host specific and overwinter on leaves, stems and spent flower debris. Rust often appears as small, bright orange, yellow, or brown pustules on the underside of leaves. If touched, it will leave a colored spot of spores on the finger. Caused by fungi and spread by splashing water or rain, rust is worse when weather is moist.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant.
Fungi : Powdery Mildew
Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy.
Pest : Caterpillars
Caterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterflies. They are voracious feeders attacking a wide variety of plants. They can be highly destructive and are characterized as leaf feeders, stem borers, leaf rollers, cutworms and tent-formers.
Prevention and Control: keep weeds down, scout individual plants and remove caterpillars, apply labeled insecticides such as soaps and oils, take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden and use Bacillus thuringiensis (biological warfare) for some caterpillar species.
Pest : Flea Beetles
Flea Beetles are about the size of a flea and are black, bronze, or blue-black in color. They get their name from the way they jump when disturbed. Flea beetle populations are usually more severe when conditions are hot and dry. They can pose problems in the garden; they leave small holes in chewed foliage.
Prevention and control: You've heard it a thousand times, but here it is again - clean up the garden to remove places where these insects over winter. A well-watered, moist garden will not be as attractive to an egg laying mother either. Aside from handpicking, spray with a recommended insecticide. Cultivation between rows will help to destroy eggs, too.
Fungi : Leaf Spots
Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Fungi : Downy Mildew
Downy Mildew, a fluffy white fungal growth that develops on the underside of leaves, is most common during cool, humid conditions. Foliage often discolors and is stunted.
Prevention and Control: Use disease free plants and space far enough apart so that air circulation is good. Remove and discard infected leaves or even entire plants. Use a recommended fungicide and always follow the directions on the label.
How-to : Cut FlowersFlowers suitable for cutting maintain their form for several days when properly conditioned and placed in water or soaked oasis. A cut flower should have a fairly strong, long stem, making it easy to work with in arrangements. There are many short stem flowers that make good cut flowers too, but they look best when floated in a bowl or clustered and placed in a juice glass size vase.
For best results, always cut flowers early in the morning, preferably before dew has had a chance to dry. Always make cuts with a sharp knife or pruners and plunge flowers or foliage into a bucket of water. Store in a cool place until you are ready to work with them, this will keep flowers from opening. Always re-cut stems and change water frequently. Washing vases or containers to rid of existing bacteria helps increase their life, as well.
Glossary : Border Plant
A border plant is one which looks especially nice when used next to other plants in a border. Borders are different from hedges in that they are not clipped. Borders are loose and billowy, often dotted with deciduous flowering shrubs. For best effect, mass smaller plants in groups of 3, 5, 7, or 9. Larger plants may stand alone, or if room permits, group several layers of plants for a dramatic impact. Borders are nice because they define property lines and can screen out bad views and offer seasonal color. Many gardeners use the border to add year round color and interest to the garden.
Glossary : Low Maintenance
Low maintenance does not mean no maintenance. It does mean that once a plant is established, very little needs to be done in the way of water, fertilizing, pruning, or treatment in order for the plant to remain healthy and attractive. A well-designed garden, which takes your lifestyle into consideration, can greatly reduce maintenance.
Glossary : Rock Garden
A rock garden is a garden that mimics an alpine area, having dwarf conifers, low-growing sub-shrubs, perennials and ground cover. Often, the soil itself tends to be gravelly or rocky.
Glossary : Herbaceous
Herbaceous refers to a non-woody plant that dies back at the end of its growing season, generally after frost or during the fall of the year. The rootstock of perennials will overwinter, providing the plant is hardy in that area, and resume growth in the spring.
Glossary : Perennial
Perennial: traditionally a non-woody plant that lives for two or more growing seasons.
Glossary : pH
pH, means the potential of Hydrogen, is the measure of alkalinity or acidity. In horticulture, pH refers to the pH of soil. The scale measures from 0, most acid, to 14, most alkaline. Seven is neutral. Most plants prefer a range between 5.5 and about 6.7, an acid range, but there are plenty of other plants that like soil more alkaline, or above 7. A pH of 7 is where the plant can most easily absorb the most nutrients in the soil. Some plants prefer more or less of certain nutrients, and therefore do better at a certain pH.
How-to : Getting the Most Out of Cut Flowers
Cut flowers bring the garden into your home. While some cut flowers have a long vase life, most are highly perishable. How cut flowers are treated when you first bring them home can significantly increase how long they last.
The most important thing to consider is getting sufficient water taken up into the cut stem. Insufficient water can result in wilting and short-lived flowers. Bent neck of roses, where the flower head droops, is the result of poor water uptake. To maximize water uptake, first re-cut the stems at an angle so that the vascular system (the ""plumbing"" of the stem) is clear. Next immerse the cut stems in warm water.
Remember when the flower is cut, it is cut off from its food supply. Once water is taken care of, food is the resource that will run out next. The plants stems naturally feed the flowers with sugars. If you add a bit of sugar (1 tsp.) to the vase water, this will help feed the flower stems and extend their vase life.
Bacteria will build up in vase water and eventually clog up the stem so the flower cannot take up water. To prevent this, change the vase water frequently and make a new cut in the stems every few days.
Floral preservatives, available from florists, contain sugars, acids and bacteriacides that can extend cut flower life. These come in small packets and are generally available where cut flowers are sold. If used properly, these can extend the vase life of some cut flowers 2 to 3 times when compared with just plain water in the vase.
Glossary : Tolerant
Tolerant refers to a plant's ability to tolerate exposure to an external condition(s). It does not mean that the plant thrives or prefers this situation, but is able to adapt and continue its life cycle.
Glossary : Viruses
Viruses, which are smaller than bacteria, are not living and do not replicate on their own. They must rely on the cellular mechanisms of their hosts to replicate. Because this greatly disrupts the cell's functionality, outward signs of a viral infection result in a plant disease with symptoms such as abnormal or stunted growth, damaged fruit, discolorations or spots.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year.
Glossary : Drought Tolerant
Very few plants, except for those naturally found in desert situations, can tolerate arid soils, but there are plants that seem to be more drought tolerant than others. Plants that are drought tolerant still require moisture, so don't think that they can go for extended period without any water. Drought tolerant plants are often deep rooted, have waxy or thick leaves that conserve water, or leaf structures that close to minimize transpiration. All plants in droughty situations benefit from an occasional deep watering and a 2-3 inch thick layer of mulch. Drought tolerant plants are the backbone of xeriphytic landscaping.

Kobe Steel plant that supplied plane components being checked
Never ever think of giving up. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Take all negative words out of your mental dictionary and focus on the solutions with utmost conviction and patience. The battle is never lost until you've abandon your vision. But what if you're really exhausted physically, mentally, and most of all emotionally? Here are some sources of motivation to prompt you in reaching the peak of accomplishment.
This is Liquid Fancy heading element
Hard work
Success needs hard work. Don't listen to these 'get rich quick' schemes. You need to build your character and work hard on yourself and your business to achieve greatness. Work hard and work smart. Do the right things and do them in the right way. Don't procrastinate. Take bold actions. Work long hours and craft your legacy.
Learning from failure
Successful people do not see failures as failures. They see them as important learning lessons. Lessons that are capable of giving them insights to prevent such mistakes from happening again. By adopting this mindset of turning each failure into a learning lesson or opportunity, you can never fail until you yourself quit.
You should be able to find several indispensable facts about motivation in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make. It's so difficult to go on when everything seems to fail, isn't it? Are there times in your life when you really want to call it "quits" because you just can't see any good results from all the hard work you've done?
"Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence"
Colin Powell
This is Liquid Fancy heading element
The Reward System
Just set something gratifying to indulge in after completing a certain undertaking. The best time to learn about motivation is before you're in the thick of things. Wise readers will keep reading to earn some valuable motivation experience while it's still free.
The powerful force of humanity
If you want to succeed, surround yourself with the right kind of people who will support and encourage you all the way. Be with people who have the same beliefs and aspirations as yours. Positive aura is generated by this fusion of collective energy from people of "like minds." On the contrary, being with people who oppose your ways of thinking may trigger a negative, yet very powerful, kind of motivation.

Arthritis is a common degenerative disease that occurs in a pet's joints. It slowly destroys the cartilage between bones, causing inflammation and chronic pain. Given our experience and familiarity with cases of arthritis, we can properly diagnose your pet with the correct type and cause, as well as develop an appropriate treatment plan to help manage pain.
There are several different types of arthritis including degenerative joint diseases that are resultant of stress on joints or are caused by malformation of joints; inflammatory joint diseases that are hereditary or caused by bacterial, fungal, or tick-borne illnesses; and idiopathic diseases where the cause is unknown. Regardless of your pet's type of arthritis, our veterinarian is here to help formulate a treatment plan and ease suffering.
Symptoms of arthritis:
How is arthritis treated?
Unfortunately arthritis isn't curative, but there are ways that you can help prevent your pet from acquiring arthritis at a young age. Because the most prevalent types of arthritis are influenced by obesity, regular exercise and a healthy diet are essential. Maintaining a healthy weight is the best preventative strategy in prolonging the onset of arthritis.
If your pet is already suffering from arthritis, there are several methods of treatment that can help relieve pain. For obese pets that suffer from arthritis, the first step is to monitor weight loss to reduce stress being placed on joints. Supplements can also be used to aide in pain relief. Analgesics, anti-inflammatories, chondroitin, fatty acid supplements, and glucosamine can all aid in relieving inflammation and reducing pain.
For pet owners who prefer natural relief for their pets, there are homeopathic treatments available. Cayenne, ginger, ginseng, guggul, and milk vetch are all natural plants or spices that can be added to your pet's diet to offer relief from arthritis.
If you have questions about arthritis, or think your pet might be suffering from arthritis and want to seek treatment, contact our office today.
We encourage you to contact us with any questions or comments you may have. Please call our office or use the quick contact form.

Sand Storm, Select Grade
Product Details
About Select Grade sheets
Select Grade is 100% acrylic solid surface made in the USA and matches the colors of Corian®. It is material that did not precisely meet the desired manufacturing specification for the reasons stated below:
- they are slightly off color (because the base color does not match the manufacturer's standard); or
- the color and dispersion pattern of decorative flecks or swirls embedded in the base color does not match the manufacturer's standard.
Does being off-standard matter?
In a production run, ingredients are mixed in a large hopper. The material is extruded as a continuous ribbon of solid surface sheet material onto a moving belt, where it hardens and proceeds through sanders, then cut into lengths. Although a sheet may become Select Grade because it differs from the desired specification, within a production run a sheet will likely be the same as the sheets made just before or after it was extruded, all of which will become Select Grade.
It is not likely to matter if an installation uses several Select Grade sheets in a kitchen and only Select Grade is used in that area. It may matter if the Select Grade sheet is joined with the same-color sheet that did meet the desired color and fleck specification.

Not only do links help take traffic from other websites belonging to competing companies, but an effective link-building campaign can gather entirely new customers who did not know that your brand existed.
Through our link-building tactics, we aim to earn links that have value – the ones that will have a huge impact on the search ranking, referral traffic, and site authority. But if you are new to acquiring links, or do not understand what more links do, then our experts can help cover that as well.
We offer a number of great SEO Link Building services in Wells and Somerset and are more than happy in assisting you.
Our services are all focused on providing clients with the most, best high-quality links possible – links pointing back to their content from important or high-traffic websites. Each individual client is different, so the relevant websites and link-building opportunities all have to be carefully hand-picked and double-checked.
There is not a set link-building guide that we follow, but the process of link-building for SEO (search engine optimisation) and traffic-gathering purposes will always follow the same basic structure: find sites that are worth approaching, create link-worthy content, and get appropriate links however possible.
Our specialists have expertise in a lot of different techniques and methods. If you are not familiar with common link-building strategies or do not know how links help, then here is a breakdown of what to expect and how it all works.
If you want to know more about SEO and traffic, read on, or get in contact with our specialists to ask any burning questions you might have. We have worked with countless clients in your exact situation, and we can handle every step of the process for you.
There are a lot of benefits to SEO link-building, especially from a business standpoint some of the main benefits include:
It's always a good idea to take advantage of SEO link-building services if you want to bring more attention to your company whilst also improving your overall SEO ranking in Google. Since Google uses links to rank your site overall.
The average cost per link in Wells can be anywhere between £100- £20,000 per month, many things factor into this cost some of these include:
These prices are based on rough estimates, taking the factors into account we can give you more accurate prices if you contact a member of our team today for a free no-obligation quote.
One site's links pointing to another site will carry across two things: traffic and authority. No matter how a site's owner acquires those links (whether they are naturally created from having link-worthy content or bought from another site as a guest post), they will bolster their own site's rankings and user base.
Having high-quality inbound links will improve your site and boost your user base, something that we have spent a lot of time and effort refining into a carefully planned strategy. However, since every site is different, the work we do is always bespoke: no two site owners need the exact same things.
We are fully willing to answer any questions or concerns you might have about link-building as a whole or any of the techniques and tricks mentioned here. The more you know, the better we can help you build links and improve your website's rankings or status.
If you would like to receive even more information on SEO Link Building services, make sure you get in touch with us today!
In the short term, this means that referral traffic will arrive – potential customers or users who have some kind of interest in visiting the site. If you own an online store, this can grow the number of customers you have available, whereas a charity may want to get more traffic to receive more donations.
The more traffic your website ends up having, the more you can do with it. However, the link has to be one that people are going to use: If the original link is not on a page that will be commonly visited, the trickle of new users will be slow and inconsistent, or perhaps die off entirely after a while.
If you want to know more about how traffic can be directed to certain pages or which parts of your site might benefit most, then get in touch and ask our experts.
Our link-building strategies are meant to target authority just as much as traffic.
By finding other websites that already have an established presence, we can begin building links that will transfer some of that status to your own website – sometimes improving search rankings and increasing organic traffic.
This indirectly means that more people will visit your website through Google or other search engines since it will appear more often when they search for relevant information.
Sites linking to you for authority reasons can also still bring through traffic themselves if the link is placed on an accessible page.
It is important to note that Domain Authority does not directly impact Google search rankings. It is more of a measurement of your predicted search rankings based on links and the overall quality of your site.
The hardest part of link-building efforts is outreach. Organic links are not very common, and you will mostly see those links being made to high-quality sites that already have an established presence. If you have a unique article about a certain topic, you will attract links, but most site owners do not have that luxury.
Our team is more than willing to manage outreach for you, contacting important resource pages or blogs containing relevant content to see if we can place a good link there. Some will be free, and some will be paid, but making an effort to land links on other sites is the basis of a varied, healthy link profile.
When we arrange a guest post on another site, we are able to write excellent content that links back to your website – content that contains specific anchor text and points to a certain linking page. Through this, we can almost guarantee an increase in traffic or search rank.
Part of our aim is to capture link opportunities that might not be there forever: blogs that are seeing a spike in readers or sites that only open up to a couple of advertised guest posts per year. The more exclusive the free or paid links are, the less likely competing sites are to have them.
Our SEO experts are fully prepared to hunt down powerful opportunities and identify which pages need the biggest boost in attention. Looking for guest post options can take a long time and require outreach with each blog or site, but our staff can handle it efficiently and reliably every time.
Sometimes the presence of a guest post can be dropped and a paid link inserted into a site directly. While buying links is one of the spammy link-building techniques that Google's Webmaster Guidelines penalise, there is nothing wrong with earning links through sponsored content or promotions.
As long as your site has some kind of product or service, we can work with you to arrange potential sponsored posts that will influence your site's rankings and total traffic. Unlike guest blogging, the post itself is entirely up to the blog owner, so it can be a risky but valuable option to attempt.
Our PR link-building strategies cover everything from journalists to the owners of other websites, creating longer-term relationships that can allow for multiple external links. Multiple links from the same website still have major benefits, and we can aim to earn as many as possible from blogs that you want to work with.
Good PR link sources can also spread word-of-mouth about your website, something that may result in more users searching for your site specifically. This can be a major benefit for multiple reasons, and we can use it to understand which sites are likely to give you the most attention in the long term.
Making connections with other site owners also makes it easier for your site to work within Google's Guidelines but still maintain powerful links from relevant pages in the long term. Our staff can handle your ongoing relationships with other blog owners, ensuring that important links stay up and that new one are built where possible.
You might know that you need more assistance getting attention from search engines, but what do you actually get through links?
A lot of companies and advertising agencies will claim to help get your pages popular or noticed by thousands of people but will only run ineffective ads that barely anybody clicks. We aim to get external links that bring value with them, boosting search engine rankings by targeting important ranking factors.
SEO is not as easy as directing people to a website. Link equity is hard to generate without linking between other websites, and internal links within your site can't help boost up a certain page. However, our strategies are more focused on earning links that matter and improving your website in the long term.
If you are struggling to make individual pages rank properly, have the wrong pages ranking highly, or can't get part of your website to appear on a normal search engine no matter how hard you look, then we can help.
There is a lot to stress when it comes to link-building tactics, and we want to make it easier. Our expertise can make up for anything that you do not know, and our trained specialists are able to find and fix flaws left by any previous companies or agencies.
If you need traffic, then we can start building links to provide it. While traffic is not the only goal in SEO, it is still important for making sure that people are actually using your site once they see a link for it – a high ranking in search results means nothing if you receive no clients or customers.
A careful balance of traffic and rankings is important, but some sites need a constant flow of customers to keep running. If that is one of your priorities, then we can make sure that it stays a core focus in your new link-building strategy, keeping the flow of customers and visitors coming.
Link building can be challenging for a single person to manage all at once. Not only do sites need an increasing amount of links to compete as other competitors grow, but they also have to maintain those links and ensure that they do not go down unexpectedly or need to be refreshed for updated page URLs.
That can all be a lot of work, but that is not even mentioning the effort involved in getting those links. Trying to attract links through your website's content, or going out and trying to negotiate for some directly, can be incredibly difficult and take a lot of time.
If you need professionals to handle all of this tough work, then get in touch and see what we offer. Our experts are fully prepared to manage the harder parts of your SEO work, making it an easy process for everybody involved.
All of our SEO techniques are white hat – no cheating, no bending the rules, and nothing that can get your inbound links shut down or your site penalised. Far too many SEO companies use grey hat techniques to try and get an edge over competitors, but it impacts their clients the most.
We do not engage with black hat SEO practices like deliberately trying to purchase cheap links from spam sites, flooding pages with irrelevant keywords or gaming the system in any way.
Our work is meant to be as clean and reliable as possible, benefiting the site's owner as much as it can.
Black hat techniques like creating spam sites and farming links from hundreds of unused sites can be powerful in the short term since they earn links quickly, but once Google realises what is happening, the entire benefit can be completely wiped away by massive penalties.
One of the most notable black hat techniques is leaving hidden links in blog comments, something that many advertising agencies still do to boost their clients' rankings for a short period of time.
This is incredibly risky and always ends with the site's support collapsing.
A lot of black hat techniques are the SEO equivalent of emails that end up in the spam folder. They are quick, and they are sneaky, but they rarely work and can easily be identified by anybody who is vaguely competent with search engines. We make sure to avoid them at all costs, no matter how appealing they might sound.
By keeping all of our strategies based on white hat tactics and avoiding illegitimate methods of building links, we can ensure that your business ranks high in search results in the long term instead of getting short but unstable boosts to your internet presence.
White hat SEO also ensures that all inbound links remain stable and usable, rather than breaking because Google has caught a mistake. This means that our work can form a strong foundation for a website, rather than being completely ruined the moment Google's spiders crawl the site again.
White hat link opportunities are very important and something that we treasure whenever possible, meaning that we always put it as a major focus. No matter who our clients are, we are always prepared to help them work towards better, safer, and more reliable links that will not vanish overnight.
Our white hat SEO strategies are things like creating helpful resource pages or interesting content that can earn links naturally, writing for a target audience that is likely to approach your site, and getting links in fair, legitimate ways.
White hat work takes more time to conduct things like keyword research, but it also ensures that all of the resulting links are good-quality. Since Google (and most other search engines) will crawl the internet on a regular basis, bad links only last a short while before being penalised.
If you want to ensure that you get the best possible results and do not have sudden dips in site ranking, then talk to us about your SEO needs. Link building works best when proper keyword research has been carried out, and all of the right pieces are in place.
At SEO Link Building, we can assist you with the best options. Make sure you contact us today for a number of great SEO Link Building services.
Grey hat SEO concerns things that are not officially black hat but depend on context. Our work is to help the client in any way we can, and that means talking with you to understand exactly what you need and how it can be achieved in the least intrusive way possible.
A good example of grey hat SEO is using reverse image search to find images on your website being used on other sites, then getting them to replace their image with a link to your image. This reverse image search technique technically works, but it can be a risky move and is not a visible link to the site users.
Grey hat can be quite risky, especially if it skirts the border between acceptable and unacceptable SEO practices. Our staff are able to tell when something is going too far, preventing you from suffering possible penalties.
If you want to know more about how white hats and black hats work or the differences between them, get in touch and feel free to ask our experts for any more details. The more you know, the better.
Passive and active link building are two sides of the same coin and are both useful link-building tactics that we can provide to our clients as needed. A good mixture of both allows a site to earn links passively even while not hunting for new options, but it depends on the company in question.
Active links are links that we have sought out for our clients and made arrangements for, whether that is guest blogging or through other white hat link schemes. Active links are the bread and butter of any link builder and are a major focus for almost all small businesses that we work with.
Without active links, sites have no real way to gain attention or authority, something that is incredibly important for any business to have. While it is possible to get editorial links and other sources of passive attention, it will be a lot harder since there are fewer ways for visitors to find your site in the first place.
Active links are generally manufactured links. They are the links that you are always aware of because you usually have a hand in creating them. In the case of our clients, they are kept up to date on current link-building exercises, and every time we build links, they have a say in the matter.
Unlike passive links, you also get a bit more control over how they are placed. While we might have to negotiate with the sites that host them to get specific pages, anchor text snippets or other details, it is important to make sure that we can give your site the best possible boost in rankings and traffic.
Passive links are the links that your site generates if you have content worth linking to. This could be a blog post, an about page, a services page, a product page, or even a PDF hosted on your site. Whatever the page is, it is important to remember that it means free authority for your website.
However, in order to get more passive links, you need to keep making content that will attract attention from all kinds of important websites. Getting links from blog comments is not going to make much of a difference, and a 'one-hit wonder' on your blog will mostly benefit a single page.
Our SEO experts are able to put together perfect pieces of content that can target the right people at the right time, drawing in attention of people who are actually wanting to use your site and are not simply visiting for a certain article.
The hardest part of earning passive links is making sure that the links are more than just sources of authority.
While that can definitely help, you want visitors that will pay or sign up, especially if your business relies on online revenue to stay afloat. We can help with that, no matter your products or services.
Community websites – sites that foster their own community – are often a great place to start when building links.
Our SEO specialists are able to track down great sites like this in almost no time, helping you set up the perfect starting point for your business.
A lot of these websites are meant to collect information relevant to a certain community. Through SEO, community websites can be treated like a mixture of passive and active link building, providing a hub that might take an interest in the website.
We are able to target plenty of community sites based on what the client wants and the kind of business they run, especially ones in the client's local area. For example:
Local sites are dealing with the client's local community. We are more than happy to work with our clients to learn more about what might appeal to potential local customers.
A lot of physical businesses with only a small online presence rely on in-person customers to keep running. Adapting SEO to benefit a brick-and-mortar store is something that we can definitely offer, especially when these sites are involved.
Directories are a less community-focused kind of community site but can also be a very valuable option as long as there is an active user base. Getting listed on important online directories can take some time and effort, but our staff are well versed in negotiating a good arrangement for it.
These sites can sometimes allow listings to be written by the company, and we can produce top-quality content to ensure that the right anchor text is included.
Any group that has some kind of connection to your business is a good place to start looking, especially if you tailor it to that hobby specifically.
For example, a model shop can gain heavy traffic and extra authority through links on relevant model forums, as can fishing businesses, car companies, or almost any other business.
While many agencies resort to risky black-hat tactics when targeting communities, we take a white-hat approach and try to ensure that every placed link is reliable, stable, and will not cause bad PR with the hobby groups that you are targeting.
Authority is the status of a site, so transferring it from one site to another essentially marks it as a more important website. Remember that authority only represents the state of your website. It does not decide if – it is a measurement of your website's overall credibility.
It is not nearly that simple in practical terms, but for the average website owner, it is all about getting a boost from existing websites. Each link transfers some authority, and that authority boosts the receiving site's general internet presence.
When somebody searches a term that is a loose match with your own business' anchor text, you will be more likely to appear on the front page.
The higher your overall authority, the more trust search engines have in your website. This means three core things:
When we aim to gather authority, we are not directly using it to make your website rank. Our specialists are instead making changes that will improve your site's ranking, with the authority being a general ranking metric that shows how well (or how poorly) your site is doing.
The obvious benefit of the traffic we gather is that your online business gets more customers, your blog gets more attention, or your cause gets more eyes on it. This is one of the core reasons to aim for more traffic.
However, when you build links, you also create opportunities for traffic to come from unexpected angles. As long as the anchor text is right and the content is relevant, almost any link can be beneficial.
This means that even some of the more unconventional links can get you more attention. For example, you may stock a certain type of tool that has a use in niche hobby circles, and a hobby-related link can bring in customers that would normally have never purchased from your site.
The more traffic you have, the more users will stumble into your business or online space. However, the more relevant traffic you have, the more sales you will make.
This distinction is important for three reasons:
Our SEO experts are very focused on maintaining a balance of different options, all focused on whatever the client wants and needs the most. While SEO has a lot of exact sciences, not all businesses require the same strategies or have the same success goals.
Links themselves are important for all SEO work, and a good link can be extremely beneficial. However, bad links can be a major blight on your site's overall quality and rankings.
Our SEO strategies have one major end goal: to optimise the client's presence on search engines. No matter what kind of nuanced details are involved that is the main focus of our work and the thing that will get the client the best results.
The more links a website has, the more connected it is. The more good links a website has, the more likely Google will be to feature it on search results, just like most other engines.
It is almost impossible for most search engines to rank a site with no links on it, even if that site hosts some of our best content creation work. Without any links, the site effectively does not exist unless users search for exact company names or key terms that no other businesses are using.
Bad links can have a negative impact on your company website, too.
A bad-quality link is not only going to hurt your overall rankings, but Google is likely to penalise sites that have too many of them. The more you have, the bigger the penalty.
This can result in sites being lower than they should be, and in some cases, not even ranking at all.
Link building, as mentioned earlier, is the core of all SEO. When you build links, you allow traffic to flow, increase your rankings, gain more authority, and might even spread word of mouth.
However, another major concern we have when working with clients is growth. As links add more and more ranking power to a website, more customers are likely to use it: both one-time buyers and returning customers.
This means that your business will have more customers and overall revenue, which can be a good avenue for expansion.
Building links and building relationships often go hand in hand, and that allows your business to make connections.
Say we make your site connect with a hobby forum – you might be able to advertise there in the future, work with the site itself, or potentially even become a favourite of the members there.
The same can be said for almost any subject. Blogs might be able to collaborate with other blogs, and commercial websites can potentially develop business relationships with other sites.
More importantly, building relationships allows for further promotion down the line. Our specialists can connect you to site owners that can serve as repeated sources of links or even potential advertising avenues if your business gets large enough.
The more customers you have, the more you can scale up your business in the areas that interest them. If you suddenly get a spike of attention in a certain product or service, you can start to develop it further.
For example, if you offer paid downloads of a certain type of content and customers are flocking to it, you can develop more of said content to try and get more purchases or attention.
The scale of your business usually follows the demand, so having an active source of customers and site users can be an important part of figuring out which markets to target.
As an SEO agency, we pride ourselves on helping our clients target the audiences that they need to sell to, as well as helping their business grow. Even small SEO projects can be enough to tip the scales and reveal entirely new markets that are willing to buy a certain product or service.
Link-building is a form of advertising all on its own, but with the added benefit of making sure that the links are always tied to relevant content.
If a customer goes looking for "best flowers" and finds blog posts linking to your business, they will be more likely to buy from you. If they are pleased, then they will often spread the word, even through vague word-of-mouth.
This is an incredibly important thing to remember. Links get your company out there and increase the chance of anybody stumbling across it, whether they are a willing customer or not.
Our SEO can put your business name on the internet and ensure that it is known about, even if only a portion of the visitors end up buying anything in the near future.
Remember that conversions (sales) can take a long time, too. A relative niche business like fence installation might only get a few paying customers per month, but visitors who remember your company may come back if they need a fence installed in the future.
Broken links are a constant threat to all SEO operations and something that can go unnoticed for a long time if you do your own SEO work.
A broken link is any link that no longer functions or transfers authority. With a broken link, building anything from that link specifically is impossible until (and if) it gets fixed.
This can happen for numerous reasons, or for almost no reason at all:
If you change a URL or a link is adjusted by accident, then it will not point to the same page.
This is common if a site did not check your actual URL or if your site has undergone some changes that removed a linked-to page in the past.
A site might simply remove a link, intentionally or accidentally.
Sometimes a post is deleted or rewritten, and a link is accidentally removed. If content is gone on either end of the link, it is no longer a suitable link.
Some sites have been known to take paid links, create the content, and then delete it or remove the link later on. This is one of the many risks of black hat SEO and can't really be fixed unless the site agrees to add it again.
If a website goes down (either to a parked state or completely gone), all links it had will be gone as well.
This includes cases where a site's URL has changed, meaning that it will be linking under a different name. This can also happen if a key page or segment of the site is gone.
A NoFollow link is any link set with a NoFollow tag, meaning that search engines ignore it.
These are generally used as internal links or links to pages that are not meant to appear on search engines. Some blogs use NoFollow tags to create broken links in older content and may even have a system to do it automatically.
A lot of major sites also keep NoFollow tags in website fields, like YouTube's profile system. This makes any web links on those profiles a broken link by default.
It is also possible for links to become broken links through NoFollow accidentally if a blogger does not understand what the tag means or has all links set to NoFollow by default on their platform.
Not all blogs and blog-like sites offer guest posting services. Some will actively refuse guest posting or allow it on the grounds that the links are NoFollow tagged. These can still get you traffic, but no other benefits.
There are a few ways for our experts to get links to sites without guest posting services, but they all depend on what the site is willing to offer.
Sponsored posts can be anything from a grey hat to a white hat, depending on how they are handled.
Offering some free products or services in exchange for a review is a common practice, although not all links are going to appear in favourable reviews.
Again, the content of these reviews can't usually be modified unless the site owner agrees, so bad reviews can become a problem if a product is poor.
It is possible for us to build up relations with bloggers until they include more links in their content out of their own free will. Creating content that bloggers can talk about will result in passive links too.
However, there is no way to control who links or why they are linking. If their links are NoFollow, there also is not usually a way to remove that tag without asking, and they have no reason to do that.
The relevance of a website is important in all SEO contexts. Google Analytics users will be familiar with how vital relevancy can be.
The more relevant a website is, the easier it becomes to get good links from it, both actively and passively. It also means that the links will be higher quality overall.
For example, a car blog is more likely to talk about your car company than a cooking blog. The links will also be more powerful since the links are coming from a site that uses car-related terms and keywords a lot.
Trying to force an irrelevant post into a site that does not ordinarily talk about that content can go badly, even if the content itself is fine. Instead of offering a powerful link, you will get a much weaker one that does not have much sway behind it, and you might even end up being penalised.
Our SEO efforts focus only on good-quality links, making sure that your business gets a good starting point and enough momentum to keep expanding without having to worry about getting irrelevant traffic or Google penalties.
Authority represents the total power of the site, so high authority is always a good thing.
Official sites like Google's, or sites with a lot of influence like Search Engine Journal, can have plenty of authority and power since they are a well-liked and often-used part of the internet.
On the other hand, a small personal blog where somebody posts irregular updates might not have much, especially if their blog is bland and they have no frequent readers.
Looking at the authority of a site gives a general overview of what it can offer and whether it would be worth approaching. Sometimes, our experts find exceptions, but it is still a guideline that we try to follow when looking for sites that can benefit our clients.
The anchor text is another detail to consider when looking at relevancy. A relevant set of anchor text offers the best results, whereas irrelevant anchor text can harm or even penalise links.
This is because the text needs to match up with the kind of anchor text and keywords that your own site is using. The more they fit, the more likely you are to appear when somebody searches up terms like that.
Trying to make your business rank for things that you do not even offer will hurt, too, since search engines can tell where links are pointing. The landing pages need to match the anchor text as well; otherwise, the link can be penalised.
Profile link building happens whenever you set up a profile on a site, linking that profile back to your site. This helps spread the 'link juice' from that site to your own – and considering that your profile is relevant to the business, it rarely gets penalised.
Remember that NoFollow links can prevent this, so be sure to check which link types you are dealing with before you assume that it will work. In many cases, it will not, since some websites do not like companies using them as a source of free link power.
Link building is perhaps the most important and relevant part of SEO, forming the basis of everything else under that umbrella. The only other alternative to getting attention is random luck or excessive amounts of search engine ads, which can be costly to even the most wealthy of clients.
Our brand of SEO work relies heavily on links, using them as the basis of all other improvements and benefits.
Link building transfers traffic, authority and ranking status to your website. Without any of those, your site can barely even appear in search engines and will not get much attention, let alone any paying customers.
While link building may sound simple, staying connected on the internet is part of every successful website. We aim to make sure that we can provide our clients with the best results possible, all while avoiding common pitfalls and black hat SEO mistakes.
A link is just a link – a connection. When a link goes from one site to another, so can the spider bots used by search engines to 'crawl' for sites to index.
This means that your site will barely ever get indexed unless you have a connection with another website. On top of that, fewer links mean fewer chances for search engines to display you in search results since your ranking will be so low.
If you need to know anything else about what we offer or why our services are important, get in contact with one of our specialists, and we can answer any questions that you might have.
SEO is tough, and there can be a lot of factors that go into whether or not a site is suitable for a certain kind of link.
Even our own SEO experts sometimes have to take extra time and effort to figure out whether or not a site is worth using. As a client, not all sites that appear useful will actually offer anything helpful, and this can sound strange at first.
However, when building external links, there are a few things that act as a general guide to link-building – desirable and undesirable details that can impact every blog, site, and community.

After the boring stuff is out of the way – the loan application process, choosing a lender and then hiring a real estate agent, it's time to go shopping, the truly fun part of buying a home.
Have you started your wish list yet? The first section should be all about location – where you want to live, right down to several neighborhoods that you find appealing.
We believe in the "Google Earth" method of finding anything – start wide and then narrow down the search radius.
At the wide end of the spectrum, you'll need to decide whether you want to live downtown, in the suburbs or a more rural area. Let's walk through some of the terminology you may see while shopping for a neighborhood and the pros and cons of each.
1. Urban Core
The most common name for living in the heart of a city is "downtown," but the media have introduced another term, "urban core."
In some areas of the country, such as Austin, Texas, the word "central" might be placed before the name of the city. So, if you live in an apartment in downtown Austin you would most likely tell folks you live in "central Austin."
Housing choices in the urban core also depend on region. They can range from luxury penthouse condos to warehouse conversion lofts and apartments that sit atop businesses.
Your neighbors will be diverse as well, including a mix of low-to-middle income folks, the affluent and seniors.
Urban core residents like their neighborhoods because the housing is affordable (again, depending on region), it's typically easy to get where you need to go on foot, they're close to nightlife attractions and these neighborhoods generally lack the shopping malls so prevalent in suburbia.
Drawbacks to downtown living include trying to find parking, more crime and lots of transients.
Popular urban core neighborhoods include downtown Los Angeles, Battery Park City in Manhattan and downtown Seattle.
2. Suburbs
There are as many different descriptions of the suburbs as there are neighborhoods within them. One thing most can agree on is that the suburbs are located outside of the urban core.
Sometimes called "bedroom communities," the suburbs offer a quieter, slower pace yet lack the uber-close proximity to many conveniences and entertainment venues.
Zillow.com finds that more than half of millennial homebuyers are choosing the suburbs, so if you plan on selling your suburban home, you may want to target this group of buyers.
Money magazine studied suburbs and, in February 2018 came up with a list of "the best" in the U.S. They include:
- Peters, Missouri (a suburb of St. Louis)
- Vinings, Georgia (outside Atlanta)
- Schaumburg, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago)
- North Arlington, New Jersey (a New York suburb)
- New Berlin, Wisconsin (outside Milwaukee)
You can find the rest of the list at cnbc.com.
If you count yourself among those who dream of buying a home in the suburbs, plan on having a wide choice of home styles from which to choose: apartments, condos, townhomes and single-family homes.
Tip: Consider your commute before settling on the suburbs.
3. Subdivisions
Whether you long for the small-lot subdivisions that became popular in the Los Angeles area a few years ago or are seeking a large lot with manicured lawns and mature landscaping, subdivisions are still in great demand – especially among families.
They may be located in the suburbs or near the urban core.
Subdivisions typically offer residents amenities and what is offered depends on region, developer and the price of the homes.
Larger subdivisions may have a park or three for residents, a clubhouse, community pool, and bicycle or pedestrian trails. But the sky is the limit – literally – in some subdivisions.
Just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina you will find Aero Plantation, home to 90 families. It's what is known as a fly-in subdivision and light aircraft have the right-of-way on all the roads. Lots are huge – 2 acres minimum – and there's also a forest and lake in the community.
Trying to describe the typical subdivision home is futile as the variety is huge. Those with cul-de-sacs, however, typically house lots of families with children.
4. Rural areas
If you're seeking a sense of community and want to put down "roots," choose a rural area in which to buy a home. According to Pew Research, 40 percent of rural residents know their neighbors.
Only 28 percent of suburban dwellers can say the same while 24 percent of urban core residents know their neighbors.
This is a surprising finding, considering the sparse population of most rural communities.
Choose a rural setting for your new home and you'll find that your neighbors exhibit a sharp divide in values and politics from the urban core dweller, according to Pew Research.
The populations of rural communities have been on the decline, so many are using incentives to attract new residents, according to a Zillow study. For instance, Tribune, Kansas, in its desire to attract new college graduates, offers the Rural Opportunity Zone program.
"They'll help you pay off your student loans — up to $15,000 over the course of five years," according to Brittan Jenkins at Business Insider.
Once you've decided on the type of "developed human settlement" (as Wikipedia calls them) that best appeals to you, narrow your home search to the neighborhoods that include the type of home you want and the price range.

HelpContents > HelpOnAdministration > HelpOnPageDeletion
How to delete pages
If enabled (see HelpOnConfiguration and HelpMiscellaneous/FrequentlyAskedQuestions) and allow by ACLs, you can delete pages with the DeletePage action. Note that deleting means to make a backup copy of the page, and then deleting the page file. This is almost like saving an empty page (which is not allowed by the system).
What this means is that you can get back at deleted pages by using the standard mechanisms, see also the HelpMiscellaneous/FrequentlyAskedQuestions entry "Can I restore a page from an older version?" for this. Especially, if you enter the page name into the GoTo dialog, you'll see the usual page creation stuff, but clicking on PageInfo will reveal the old version history, unless the page was purged out of existence inbetween.
The only way to unrevertably and completely delete a page (including backups, history, attachments, etc.) is via the shell on the host system. The page files are found in the "data/pages/<PageName>" directory, and you can simply delete the whole <PageName> directory - no way back in that case.

When Is a Tooth Extraction Necessary Southfield, MI
As a family dentist in Southfield, MI, we are regularly asked, "When is a tooth extraction necessary?" This is an understandable question because no one wants to have a tooth pulled unless it is absolutely beneficial. We are not interested in extracting teeth unless absolutely necessary. In fact, if you damage a tooth, our preferred method of treatment is to restore it using dental veneers or dental crowns. There are times, however, where we do recommend visiting our dental office located at 25296 Evergreen Rd Southfield, MI 48075 for an extraction.
You were in an accident.
We can treat patients who have gotten into an accident and need to have immediate dental work completed. In some cases, dental damage is only part of the problem and immediate solutions are necessary. If possible, we will restore the tooth using dental bonding, dental veneers, or dental crowns. However, if the problem is urgent, a tooth extraction may be necessary. If you do need an emergency dentist, call (248) 423-9393 to schedule an appointment.
An infection has spread.
If you have a bad dental infection, visit a dental office as soon as possible. It will be obvious if the infection has spread since you will experience intense discomfort that will make it difficult to bite down, chew, or even carry on with daily activities. We recommend coming in at the first sign of a toothache so we can treat the infection before it reaches the point of being severe. However, if you have delayed an appointment and are now in intense pain, you may need a tooth extraction just to get rid of the infection quickly. While not ideal, we can eliminate the source of the problem, prescribe you antibiotics, and then replace the tooth or teeth in the future with dental crowns and bridges or dental implants.

The cost to restore the tooth is too great.
We accept most insurance plans and can also discuss various payment options with you. However, we also realize that sometimes restorative dental work can be cost prohibitive. This is not an inexpensive teeth whitening procedure. Instead, removing an infection can require a full root canal and restoration afterward. If you are in a situation where you cannot afford a root canal, you may want to consider a tooth extraction and then replace the tooth later on when you have the funds to do so. This will address the immediate problem, which is to remove the infection.
Your wisdom teeth are impacted.
One of the most common reasons parents ask, "When is a tooth extraction necessary?" is because their child is developing wisdom teeth. At City Centre Dental, we do not always extract wisdom teeth. If there is enough room in the mouth for this third set of molars and they are growing in straight, they may be able to remain in the mouth. However, it does not work this way for most people. In fact, it is more common for our patients to visit our dental practice complaining that their wisdom teeth hurt. This can happen when they grow in impacted. The actual growth of them can cause discomfort and push other teeth forward (inconvenient if you or your child has had braces). As they grow in impacted or sideways, space will be created for food to become trapped, and this area often becomes infected. In this way, wisdom teeth can pose a health risk. As a cosmetic dentistry office, we can remove them.
The Extraction Process
While the first question we hear is, "When is a tooth extraction necessary?", the second is always about the process. We understand that our patients are often intimidated by the prospect of needing to have a tooth extracted. This is a process that most people grow up fearing, in part because of popular movies and television conveying an extraction as something truly horrible. The good news is that we can complete the extraction gently, quickly, and while keeping you comfortable. When looking for a "dentist near me" to complete an extraction, be sure to visit one who offers sedation. We do and we will use it to help you relax. Before we get started, you will be sedated and you will receive medication to numb the area.
If your tooth has grown in straight…
We can typically grasp the tooth, wiggle it, and gently but quickly pull it out. This process happens quickly, and afterward, we will clean the area and place gauze there to stop the bleeding.
If your tooth is impacted…
As a cosmetic dentist, we remove impacted teeth as a matter of course. This process, however, is far more complicated because an impacted tooth cannot be pulled. Instead, we have to cut open the gum tissue that surrounds the tooth so we can fully access it. In some cases, other bone or tissue has to be cut away so we have full access to the tooth and can pull it out. If necessary, we may need to pull it out one piece at a time. Afterward, we will clean the area, replace the gum flap, place sutures if necessary, and treat it with gauze.
The Recovery Process After a Tooth Extraction
At City Centre Dental, we warn patients that they will be sore for several days and that they will experience some swelling. This is perfectly natural and can be controlled by taking ibuprofen and placing a cold compress or icepack on your face in the area where the tooth was extracted. We encourage our patients to do so for 15 minutes at a time. In preparation for your tooth extraction, you should buy plenty of JELL-O, yogurt, applesauce, and anything else you can eat without actually needing to chew. Within a couple of days, you should be able to add solids back into your diet but will need to be cautious until the area has healed completely.
Schedule an Appointment
To find out if you need a tooth extraction, call 248-423-9393 and schedule an appointment with City Centre Dental. We will be happy to answer any questions you have, schedule your procedure, and replace your teeth with dental implants or dental crowns and bridges once the extraction has been completed.

It's back-to-school time, and, if you have school-age children, your household is likely bustling with activity and filling up with books and backpacks. There are other households and school districts in your community, however, that have limited resources and could use some help gearing up for the school year.
Are you able to provide that help? Besides the satisfaction you'll derive, the example you set for your children could be among the most important lessons they learn this school year.
Here are a few ideas and resources to help you give back to your community as school gets under way:
- Donate Backpacks and Supplies
Remember the thrill of stepping off the bus with a pristine new backpack – filled with supplies – at the start of a new school year? You can help other children experience that same feeling by participating in or organizing a backpack donation drive. Check with area school districts, charities or TV and radio stations to locate one, or with your local Volunteers of America or Salvation Army outpost. To conduct your own, enlist members of your HOA, knitting circle, golf club or church group and follow this handy start-to-finish guide from the Hands On Network. - Donate Books
Passionate about reading? Then why not help stimulate young minds by donating books to area families, schools, libraries or community groups in need? You may find an organization near you that collects and distributes book donations. Or, donate to a similar organization, such as First Book in Washington, D.C. or Page Ahead in Washington state, online. To organize your own book drive, contact a school district, library or community group near you and ask what types and levels of reading materials would be most beneficial. - Volunteer
It's not all about donating things, of course. Volunteering your time to reading and tutoring programs puts you front and center for making a difference in your community. Start by calling local school districts and libraries or contacting community groups that run after-school programs. They'll likely have an existing program you can participate in, or would be thrilled to find a new project for you. Or, look for volunteer opportunities online. Reading Partners recruits volunteers in 10 states to provide one-on-one reading instruction to elementary school students who read below grade level. And, VolunteerMatch brings together volunteers and nonprofits nationwide. - Help in Other Ways
Finally, these programs and websites may help ignite your giving spirit:- Operation School Bell: This Assistance League program provides books, clothing, backpacks and other necessities to needy schoolchildren in scores of cities nationwide.
- DonorsChoose.org: Public school teachers across the country use this innovative charity to create and post classroom project requests. Donors can give any amount to a project they like. Similarly, AdoptAClassroom.org allows you to donate to registered classrooms nationwide.
- National PTA: Start here to find a local PTA chapter near you, and a handy fundraising marketplace of vendors and services, as well as helpful advice on organizing successful fundraisers.
Of course, back-to-school isn't the only time that less-fortunate children could benefit from a little support. So, consider donating supplies or volunteering any time during the school year. Just think of the wonderful impact you could make on the promising young minds in your area!
