BMW bags 7 awards for 4 engines, International Engine of the Year

BMW, maker of quality BMW accessory parts, bagged 7 awards for its 4 engines, namely: BMW 3.0 liter Twin Turbo in-line six cylinder petrol engines, BMW M 5.0 liter V10 petrol engine, BMW 2.5 liter in-line six cylinder petrol engines, and the MINI 1.6 liter Turbo petrol engine. With these, BMW, for the third time in a row, won the 2007 International Engine of the Year.
The award is considered the most important engine competition in the world. The jury consisted of 62 high-ranking international automobile journalists from 30 countries.
The BMW 3.0 liter Twin Turbo petrol engine is now fitted in all body variations of the successful BMW 3 Series. The 6-cylinder engine with Twin Turbo technology won the "Best New Engine of the Year 2007" for the 2.5 liter and 3.0 liter capacity classes, respectively.
As an addition to the 6-cylinder engine with Twin Turbo technology's extreme pulling power, the awards jury was also impressed by the high efficiency of the 225 kW power unit. In the BMW 335i Coupe, with 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers, the average level of consumed fuel based on the EU norm is intensely moderate for this performance class. And this is basically because of BMW High Precision Injection. It is the world's first jet-guided direct injection system ever to be produced in high-volume production. This, in effect, allows a specific and accurate metering of the mixture of air-fuel.
The V10 high-performance engine, which is to be found in BMW M5 and M6, won 2 awards. Like in the past 2 years, the said engine with a 507bhp power package and a capacity of 5 liters bagged the "Best Performance Engine of the Year" award.

The 2.5 liter 6-cylinder petrol engine with VALVETRONIC won the 2.0 - 2.5 liter award. The engine is being used in the BMW Z4 Roadster 2.5si and X3 2.5si. It was first used in 2001. Since then, it was established in millions of automobiles. The engine its fully variable valve control yields 160 kW and one can really say it has the BMW philosophy of efficient dynamics.
According to Rogelio Rivera-Nava, a jury member from Mexico, the exquisite sound of the 2.5-litre engine can be heard from a distance. He further stated the construction of the in-line 6-cylinder gives the basis for the technical purity of this most famous BMW engines.
The BMW Group and PSA Peugeot Citroën jointly received the award for the 1.6 liter turbo engine under the 1.4-1.8 liter category. The engine is being used in the MINI Cooper S.

How to Find Link Partners for Your Website

It's not a secret that link exchange can be a very exhausting process, especially when you need to find link partners that are related to the subject of your website. This article will help speed up your link building process and make it much more effective. Websites with Link Submission Forms
A link submission form is the easiest way to exchange links online. All you have to do is enter your website information and the reciprocal link URL. After submission, your link exchange can be completed within minutes (but usually the next day or sometimes even in a week or a month).
There are a lot of free and paid solutions to create reciprocal directories with the link submission form. Two examples are Link Machine (http://linkmachine.net) and Link Partners (http://linkpartners.com). Some of your potential link partners might have these link directories installed on their websites. Our aim is to find all of the sites that are powered by a certain type of link directory solution.
Let's take a look at LinkPartners' powered link directory here: http://www.skin-protection.com/l-nks/add-link.htm And also here: http://www.rockymountaingourmetsteaks.com/l-nks/add-link.htm. As you can see, this is a default (but slightly modified) template for the page with a link submission form. The question is - What text string in this template will be common for ALL of LinkPartners' powered directories? The answer is - "Please also suggest my link to the LinkPartners.com Directory."
We can use the same trick with Link Machine's powered directory. In this case, the common text string is - "Powered By LinkMachine".
So, for example, if you want to find all websites related to coffee and powered by LinkPartners, just open Google and search for: "intitle:coffee" +"Please also suggest my link to the LinkPartners.com Directory."
Why enter "intitle:coffee" instead of just "coffee"? A website with "coffee" in the page title can be much more relevant to your subject compared to a website where "coffee" can be found just 1 or 2 times on the page. Websites with Links Pages
What should we do if our potential link partner doesn't have one of the prevalent link directories installed? This is not a problem.
If there is a Links or Resources page on the website, we can find it easily by searching for the word "Links", "Resources", or "Directory" in the page text or in the page title: "intitle:coffee +links" or "intitle:Directory +coffee". Sure, you can enter "coffee links" or "coffee directory", but keep in mind you'll get a huge quantity of irrelevant sites in the search results. Below is a list of keywords that can be used when searching for link pages:
* Add a link* Add site* Add a site* Add URL* Add a URL* Ads* Advertiser Testimonials* Article* Articles* Blog* Blogs* Buy Links* Directory* Directories* Donate* Donation* Donations* Ezine* Ezine Ads* Links* Merchants* Newsletter* Newsletter Ads* Rent Links* Resources* Related sites* Related urls* Sites* Sponsors* Sponsorship* Submit a link* Submit a site* Submit URL* Submit an URL* Suggest a link* Suggest a site* Suggest URL* Suggest an URL* Thanks to Our Sponsors* Tips* Vendors* Weblog* Websites
Websites with Specific URLs
Some websites have specific URLs for their link pages - i.e. links.html, add_link.html, add_site.html. You can find these kinds of websites by going to Google and doing a search for "inurl:links" or "inurl:add_link". Watch Your Competitors
This is a very old trick that is still useful today. Search for your keyword in Google and look at the top 10 or top 20 sites in the search results. Then just copy their link building strategy by determining which sites are linking to them and putting your link on those sites. The easiest way is to take your competitor's links page and try to have a reciprocal link exchange with all of the sites mentioned on this page. You can also apply this strategy to your link partners. Link Exchange Software
Submitting manual link forms can be very slow. However, you can use special software that is designed to make the link exchange process easy and fast. 1. Related Link Suggestion Tool from Aaron Wall
This is a free online tool that can be used to find related links. It is based on the techniques described above. 2. AllSubmitter
This is a semi-automatic and automatic form submission tool. It imports the URLs database and then submits it automatically in minutes. This tool has an interesting feature - it can check your URLs database for Google PR, so you can concentrate on high-PR sites and save your time. 3. ARELIS
This is a great tool for link exchange management - finding link partners, finding and submitting link forms, emailing your link exchange requests to webmasters, and generating HTML link pages that can be placed on your site. 4. SEO Elite
Another link management tool developed by Brad Callen, a well-known expert in the SEO industry, is SEO Elite. It can analyze your competitor's or your own link strategy, find and submit to LinkPartners.com's powered directories, and email link exchange requests to several webmasters simultaneously. 5. LinkAssistant
This tool can find link partners for your site and manage the link exchange process. Just enter your niche's keywords and let LinkAssistant do the rest. LinkAssistant's developers claim: "LinkAssistant offers 5 to 12 more essential link building features than any other SEO tool you might have tried in the past." 6. WebCEO
WebCEO is a complex software system that is designed for all-in-one SEO, not for link management only. However, it is able to find link partners by keywords, and send automatic link exchange requests to chosen webmasters. Also, it can analyze which sites are linking to you or your competitor. Some Unethical Ways to Leave Your Link
Sometimes when working in areas such as pharmacy or adult material, you need tons of links to work your way into the top 10 rankings. This is when unethical link-building strategies come into to play. These strategies can violate search engine rules and use weaknesses in ranking algorithms. That's why these techniques should only be used when you definitely can't move your site to the top by using legal methods and you're not afraid of being banned.
Disclaimer: The information below is for educational purposes only. I am not responsible for possible search engine ranking penalties to your site as a result of unethical link building. Your site can be banned from search engines (since it is violation of their rules), and you should realize that BEFORE trying to implement these techniques. Link Spamming
Link Spamming is a massive link submission technique that is implemented exclusively for higher search engine ranking purposes. It exploits Google's algorithm that gives the highest ranking to a website that has the greatest number of other websites linking to it. For link spamming, it is typical to use automatic scripts for link submission to the sites that have submission forms and cannot control them - guestbooks, forums, blog comments, article comments, etc.
You can find the guestbooks and blogs using the same way we found the sites with specific URLs. Each guestbook type shares a common part in the URL. For example, the Viper Guestbook always has "vipergb" in the URL. So, you have to search for "inurl:vipergb" in Google to find these kinds of guestbooks.
For automatic link spamming, StoneDiver MultiSubmitter is recommended. It is free software and can be downloaded here. Before spamming, make sure you are operating through a proxy.
People are protecting their resources from link spamming with CAPTCHA - a computer generated image that contains a security code that cannot be recognized by automatic scripts. Referral Spamming
Let's use Google to search for something like this: "webalizer stats December". What you see in the search results are the websites that for some reason publicize their access logs with the referrer statistics:http://www.cjfearnley.com/stats/webalizer/usage_200512.html. Click "Referrers" and you'll be able to see the URLs from which this website was requested.
You can place your link into this table by using a script that makes repeated website requests with a fake referrer URL pointing to an advertised site. So the next webalizer report will have your link included and indexed by the search engine.
The website can be protected from referral spamming by putting a special code in the .htaccess file. Forum Profile Spamming
There are a lot of PHPBB based forums. They have one interesting feature - a separate page for each registered user profile, similar to this: http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=111644. And what is more interesting is that this page can be indexed by search engines. The "Website" field can be filled with a link to your site. So, all you have to do is just register where you can and leave a link. This also can be done by using an automatic script. The forums can be found by searching for "inurl:profile.php" in Google.
Forums can be protected from Profile Spamming by implementing CAPTCHA and other specific tricks such as "stop words" lists and disabling some registration fields. Conclusion
There are 2 sides of link building, "white-hat" and "black-hat". Usually "white-hat" works fine, especially when you have a serious website that has interesting and relevant content. However, sometimes you can use "black-hat" techniques if your site is not good enough to be promoted in the usual ways.

Working of acomplia is very much different as compared to other standard weight loss drugs in the market. Acomplia pill helps you to get the rid of the unnecessary body mass by blocking the neurotic receptors named as cannaboid receptor or CB-1 receptors in your body.
