Download Trivia Quiz for Trivia Nights

It gives me great pain to say that the interactive trivia game I so enjoyed went offline. I admit that I now have a great deal more time to do other things but it was sad to see the site go. I just thought I'd better mention it in case people follow the link looking to subscribe. It is no longer possible.

Yet for every door that closes a new one opens and for people who host trivia quizzes or want a ready made quiz for a club function, a fundraiser or even a party the same company have a new site called Instant Trivia. Each week there are new general knowledge quizzes you can download to use to run a trivia night.

Trivia Quizzes are generally Australian trivia and cover a wide range of topics such as food trivia, movie trivia, music trivia, history, politics, science , arts and pop culture.

  Niche Market Research Methods for SEO

Ever heard of blogacide? It's when people just walk away from their blog and it dies of neglect. I admit I have a few blogs on their death beds right now, because I couldn't find a way to get them read. It's like talking to a brick wall!

Weird and wonderful as it seems there are ways to move things on the internet. You don't need to just post and hope you get readers, you can use specific market research methods to subtly alter the way you write and make a difference to how Google search results perceive you.

It's called search engine optimization and it's not that hard to learn. It's just looking at things from a spider's perspective - you know the one with an aerial view.

Best way to explain is the old card index filing system in libraries - you could look up things by author or title, but you could also look up things by category.

If a page is only one small part of a category then it's called a niche, kinda like a nest or a nook where spiders spin their webs, but intending to mean a small part of a topic (with a small market of people desperate for information on it) that your page may have a chance to rank for especially if you pick a 'long tail' key phrase.

To that end you'll have to do some keyword research to find out how people are looking for things. Like the card index, its no good looking under billiards if every book calls it pool, you won't find anything and nor will people find you.

So if you want to see your blog post in the search results - you have to put information in your articles to tell the spiders what the category is. But big categories are no good because you can't rank for them. There are ways of finding out what people search for and you try and pick a phrase they may use.

Then you also have to prove to search engines that you're worth listening to.

You do that by writing blog posts that are so awesome that people bookmark them and link to them and comment on them and thereby generally show you what it's like to be popular. This flurry of links is a symbol of popularity to spiders so they give you a star and bump you up the ladder.

It's all quite complicated, I just released my first book about it...

Which philosophical religious book's title is a different name for the earth?

Do you surf the Internet?

You started by looking up something specific but one link led to another, which had an article on a site with another link that looked interesting, and suddenly it's midnight and you have a way too early start the next day? The Internet is like having a library in your own home, without having to dust the bookshelves or pack a thousand boxes when you move. It is so vast that you could surf this sea of information everyday and still only see a small percentage of it. Do you wish you had friends that would point you to all the amazing sites out there that you don't think of going to, kind of like a random oracle saying take a gander at this?

Do you do trivia quizzes in magazines or newspapers?

Because you can. Because you're good at them. And if you don't know, do you look up the questions you don't know on the Internet, because you just have to know? Then when you've found the answer, you just keep on reading because it's all fascinating and the older you get, the more you realise how little you really do know.

Do you watch quiz shows and call out the answers?

Do you get most of the answers right? Do you yell the answer to the contestant as if he could hear you? Does your wife or husband, mother or father, sister or brother, child or friend stare at you with awe and say, How did you know that? You should be on that show. You'd win a million dollars.

Yet what can be achieved easily in your own lounge room with familiar folk around you is not so easily achieved miles from home, sweating under the lights, with a live audience and the pressure on to perform.

What if you could do a trivia quiz on your computer in your own home?

Not one of those ABCD ones where the answer is given before you've even had a chance to think about it but you are given a range of questions and you have a month to think about them. You can look up a question in an encyclopaedia or Google it or try out one of those fantastic information sites on the web. You don't get only one phone a friend, you can call as many mates as you like. In fact you can all sit down together with your laptops and make a night of it. Sure beats Tupperware parties or Bingo.

Don't you find it annoying in trivia quiz books that you can only check your answer - by looking up what the answer is?Because after you look it up, even if you were wrong, then you know what the right answer is; game over! Wouldn't it be nice to check your answer but if it's wrong, be able to try again? Let's face it, a hunt is a hunt, if you bag your prey in the first five minutes, what's left to do but go home?

What if someone created a trivia quiz online, that anyone can enter ?

No thousand phone calls for selection. No pressure to perform or win but just a fantastic range of questions and all the time in the world to answer them. You type in an answer and if it's correct you go on to the next one and if its wrong you get to try again,unlimited guesses! You can talk about it, ask your mates at home and at work, involve the whole family, and you can check all kinds of reference material to find the answer.

Someone did it already? YES It's called Complete Trivia.

To sign up or try the sample quiz, go straight to the site by clicking the link.
It's online now, it has prizes to win and anyone can enter and you can find it at www.completetrivia.com or www.completetrivia.com.au. Yes, it's an Australian site with a distinct Australian flavour sometimes but it doesn't matter what country you're from because most of the questions are common knowledge or can be searched for on the Internet. Yes, you can look up the answers, because it's not about what you now know but what you will know.

Curious?

So you should be, because if you're the person I described above, (and if you're not it surprises me that you're still reading this - but keep on reading because we have something marvellous and unique here and I really want to tell you about it), then we have something to make your dreams come true. Maybe you won't be a millionaire but Complete Trivia gives away over a thousand dollars in cash or prizes every month and you could have the time of your life and win a prize. What could be better than that?

The current month's quiz has a picture in it's 20th Century Architecture section in the Arts Category and it is a picture of a building that is shaped like a ship. Complete Trivia has it all.

The clues are it's shape - the fact that it is ship shaped, that it was built in the 20th century, that it has an outside elevator and a penthouse and a balcony probably overlooking a view and it isn't in among a lot of city buildings but as there is a skyscraper in the background it is probably on the outskirts of a city.

I started my search with ship shaped building, I added outside elevator, I added penthouse, I tried liner rather than ship and I have been searching for two hours without a result. Could someone please give me another clue!I tried building shape ship, architecture ship, both those together and a few other combinations, still no result. This is a tough one.

The thing about this trivia treasure hunt is that the answer isn't all you have to find.While you are looking you are actually surfing the web and enjoying what you find. Here's some interesting sites I found today by looking for a ship shaped building.

Missouri Titanic Titanic Sitegreat site for Titanic fans
Tokyo Glass Hall Building Tokyo bulding with ceiling that looks like a boat and blogVery interesting blog with pic of this building.

Who would have thought there would be so many ship shaped buildings? Or that you can search the internet and viw so many sites and still not find that elusive one that you need to answer the question. I have to admit that it doesn't usually take so long to find an answer but every now and then you'll find a clue that almost beats you.

Now this isn't the end if you don't have the persistence of a dog wanting a pat when you come home. It's a choice to persist endlessly or you can pass if you get stuck - you can't come back and answer later though so you can't get a perfect score.Without a perfect score you can't win first place - but first isn't everything.

Complete trivia sends you to places you'd never think to search for, you spend a few hours looking for something, try different combinations of keywords, different search engines, visit authority sites with internal search facilities and you try. In the process it's fun, frustrating, fascinating and sometimes fruitless.

But you go back to the quiz and you get another question , then you get on a roll and answer a few easily in a row and there's always something to do which keeps the mind active and entertained and as a by product - educated.Who would think to look for ship shaped buildings otherwise? That's trivia - that's Complete Trivia!Complete Trivia

Everyone!

From the youngest child to the seniors in the family, there are questions (and memories) from all eras and hobbies and all fields of knowledge. We remember more from our younger years because we are more involved in the culture so each person and you yourself will know questions from the era you lived through.

Everyone likes to feel able to contribute and the trivia treasure hunt makes that so possible to do. It is ideal for family entertainment because everyone knows something about something.

Your teen will confidently tell you the name of the show that the TV theme music came from; they'll know the faces of the younger actresses and the songs of the current bands.

Your youngest child will crow when he get the Simpson clues, the Disney cartoon characters, a Harry Potter question or maybe there'll be a yoyo clue or a question about a surfer. He may not always be interested but if his curiosity is tickled he will search for the answer.

Your father, or grandfather will know the names of aircraft used in the war and the name of that Big Band's leader. Your mother or grandmother will recognise the faces of early actors, actresses, singers and politicians. You will be amazed at just how much she knows about many things you didn't know she was interested in!

That is the joy of venturing on this trivia treasure hunt - when you involve other people. The questions bring back memories and spark conversations about the past and you learn so much and get to know your relatives better because of it.

The only hard thing about it is that people tend to argue about who will do the search for everyone thinks they can find the answer faster than the person typing! So in answer to who will enjoy the trivia treasure hunt - everyone who enjoys trivia!

If you're looking for family entertainment try Complete Trivia and then tell me about it, I'd love to hear from you!

I've been playing the online trivia game at complete trivia and it's such fun, currently I'm stuck on the name of a building that looks like a ship, a brown abstract painting - should be Braque but isn't, a bunny or hare sculpture, a surfing journalist, the kicker of a longest field goal, a singer, a song, a country, a satelite launched in the 80's and an inventer!

In fact I'm stuck - but that's the fun of the treasure hunt, if it was easy it wouldn't keep me going for the month and I'd get bored! Ok, off to look for clues..
