Driving Past Prague’s Religious Sites

Having been a Prague airport shuttle driver for several years, I have come to know the city like the back of my hand. From the narrow side streets to the bustling tourist centres, when it comes to Prague, I am well versed. Being a spiritual man myself, the ancient cathedrals and churches are of particular interest to me, and I can't help but share my enthusiasm with my passengers. Most people coming to Prague appreciate the beautiful architectural designs of the old buildings, and the tour-guide style knowledge I provide while travelling from Prague airport to the city is usually met with much appreciation from tourists who know little about the area. Over the years, I have found that there are three religious buildings that are really popular for visitors to Prague.
<br>
<br>St Vitus Cathedral at Prague Castle
<br>
<br>St Vitus Cathedral is probably the most dramatic and beautiful cathedral in the whole of Prague. Situated within Prague castle, this gothic cathedral is one of the most visited sites in the city. Even though it is so well known, I simply cannot help but recommend it to all my Prague airport shuttle passengers, because it is truly inspirational. It was commissioned by Charles IV, and its construction commenced in 1344. But it took nearly 6 centuries to complete, with its intricate designs and architecture turning into a lengthy affair. Its history is fascinating too, as it was this cathedral that was used for the coronation of the Czech kings and queens, adding yet another dimension to this already fascinating cathedral.
<br>
<br>St. Nicholas Church at Malostranske Namesti
<br>
<br>I assume that many people who visit Prague have a love of art, so when I'm giving my passengers information on the way from Prague airport to the city, I always recommend visiting the church of St Nicholas at Malostranske Namesti (there are three churches by this name) for its fantastic architecture and the paintings, statues and frescoes housed within the church walls. The church was designed by Christoph and Kilian Ignaz, who were an exceptionally gifted father-and-son architectural team, designing beautiful Baroque masterpieces. Beneath the church's dome is a Baroque organ, which was played by Mozart himself in 1787. It is definitely one of my favourite churches in the city.
<br>
<br>The Spanish Synagogue
<br>
<br>This magnificent structure is something I recommend to my Prague airport shuttle passengers on a regular basis. The synagogue is set in the heart of the Jewish quarter, and it is a deeply spiritual site, built in 1868 over the Old Jewish Shul. This beautiful building was designed by Vojt&#283;ch Ignátz Ullmann, complete with a dome, stained glass windows and intricate designs on the walls. The beauty of this synagogue is recognised by its label as the most beautiful synagogue in the whole of Europe! It also forms part of the Jewish Museum, so visiting the synagogue will be both a spiritual and a historical experience.
<br>
<br>There are many more beautiful religious buildings to be seen in Prague, but these three are my favourites. Perhaps it is the very fact that they were built for religious reasons that gave people the passion to put so much effort into their construction, and has left them with a deeply spiritual feel. And in all my years as a Prague airport shuttle driver, I have never had a complaint about my recommendations.

How to Promote a Web Site and Earn Money From the Traffic

<p>I guess this is how it all started with advertising programs on the internet. Many web masters create web sites just for the advertisers. It is no surprise that web masters would like to earn as much from every square inch of their sites as they possibly could. However, is advertising the only way to earn form a site? No, definitely not. There is affiliate marketing and if you are a marketing man, or woman, yourself you could design a product to promote online and make money from it too.</p><p>However, if you want to earn money from a site on the internet you are going to have to master the art of driving traffic to your site. You can only successfully drive traffic to your sites if you know how to manage the search engines and their techniques. This is called optimizing - or Search engine optimization to be exact.</p><p>Everyone who is on the internet looking for something - anything - will certainly go to the search engines to find it. The search engines will not find what they are looking for but it will present them with a list of sites that contain the most number of the search term they have queried in the search engine. The search engines do this by finding the sites that have the most relevant content relating to the searched phrase, word or term and compare the site to the number of back links the site has on the net. Now, the search engines do not do this instantly nut once or twice a month. They then index the site according to the relevance of the content per search term. This indexing changes constantly at least twice a month.</p><p>So if you do not appear on the search engines you are practically invisible on the internet and no one will know you are there and so you will get no visitors and thus no business.</p><p>In a nutshell there are two things one must do to become visible on the search engines,. One is to optimize the site with key terms and phrases as well as search words that are most popular on the search engines and the other thing is to create quality back links to your site - in the thousands!</p><p>The best way to get back links is to write numerous articles around most searched terms and phrased. Use the online tools to find these terms and phrases and optimize the sit as well as your articles with them. Then post these articles to directories set up for the purpose. Enter your URL in the resource box and presto you have yourself a relevant back link to your site. You can also post to forums and blogs entering your URL each time you do so.</p><p>Within no time you will have your self a few thousand back links and the search engines will begin ranking you on their search result pages and the traffic will begin to flow then your conversion rate will determine how much you earn from the traffic.</p><p>Bill Guenter is a top internet marketer who works with industry leaders from around the world.
