INR Tracker was launched in April, 2012 as a solution for individuals taking blood thinners. International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a blood test that measures the time it takes for blood to clot. This test is administered on people taking anticoagulants. People on blood thinners such as Warfarin need to monitor their INR very carefully at all times, because if their INR is not in a therapeutic range, their Warfarin wont work properly and they will be in danger of serious bleeding, blood clots, stroke and heart attacks. The reason people on Warfarin must constantly have their INR checked is because Warfarin is dangerous and difficult to regulate. Warfarin is extremely sensitive to things like exercise, over the counter medications, and most specifically, Vitamin K. Vitamin K is the antidote for Warfarin and is found in a myriad of commonly used foods. Unfortunately, it is not mandated by law to have Vitamin K listed on nutrition labels which makes monitoring Vitamin K intake very difficult. INR Tracker lets people track their Vitamin K down to the microgram with our database of 7000+ foods made by the United States Department of Agriculture. With INR Tracker, people can know exactly how much Vitamin K they've had at all times. In addition, INR Tracker allows patients to track their drug dosages, missed/extra dosages, exercise, weight and other important INR factors. With over 2 million people going on Warfarin each year, INR Tracker is a much needed solution.

In the past, getting lots of bloggers to blog and link back to your website was a tedious, expensive and time consuming process. BloggersCompete.com makes it effortless, fast and affordable by letting you launch and market a back link contest. Key Benefits * Increase your targeted traffic! * Increase your Search Engine Rankings! * All Blogs are individually inspected and approved by Ranking Climber Staff for quality of content, page rank and etc. * Specify your anchor text so that all back links fit your Search Engine Marketing Campaign. * Affordable, Effortless and Easy! How it Works Advertisers log on BloggersCompete.com, write a summary of what kind of content they want bloggers to blog about and specify how they want the bloggers to link back to their web pages. Approved Bloggers can enter the back link contests, and bloggers submit posts on their blogs as submissions to the back link contests. Bloggers get paid if they win contests and the businesses get lots of "in context back links" from the blogs. Why it Works Search Engine Marketers know that back links surrounded by content drives up rankings more so than back links sitting in navigation areas, in directories or along the bottom of web pages. Even if you have your own Content Network and have a team of Professional Copywriters, getting quality unique sticky content with outbound links takes time.
