:: Spy On Your Competitors
09/25/2006
The old adage, "keep your friends close,
and your enemies closer", is applicable not only
to personal relationships but business relationships
as well. While I'm not suggesting that you befriend
your competitors, it is important that you are cognizant
of your competitors' business ventures and methods.

:: What Are Content Rich Websites?
09/18/2006
Remember, at the end of the day that all
of the advertising campaigns and attractive affiliate
programs will only result in traffic spikes which
will be transient. Generating a content rich website
that is useful, educational, or entertaining will
attract and retain customers. While it's hard to
assemble a content-rich site that motivates others
to link to you, it is certainly not impossible.
Keep in mind that search engine rankings are influenced
by the amount and quality of a website's content.
Provide content that will make webmasters want to
link to your website.

:: Google Looking To Surfers For
Help
09/12/2006
Google is asking surfers with time on their
hands to help it categorize and label the images
indexed by its search engine, building a database
of knowledge about the contents of the images.
The company launched a new online game on Friday,
Google Image Labeler, which it describes as "a fun
way to help us organize all the images on the Web."
In the game, two randomly selected players are each
shown the same image, plucked at random from Google's
search index, and given 90 seconds to suggest as
many keywords or phrases as they can to describe
it. They score points if any of their descriptions
match.

:: Day of Giving
09/11/2006
September 11 is a day of reflection, and
for me it has become a day of giving. Each year
on Sept 11, we donate 100% of our sales to a charity.
While you may not want to donate all of your sales,
consider donating a percentage of your profits to
a favorite non-profit organization or charity.
All of us have been touched in someway by tragedies
over the years, whether brought on by mother nature,
disease or other people, they are still tragedies.
Consider what you have and consider how you can
give back.

What if you could increase the number of
people that visit your site to customers who purchase
or take action on your site by 1 percent. What would
a 1 percent increase in conversion mean to your
bottom line? Even on low ticket items, a 1 percent
increase in conversions can be potentially staggering
when considered over time.
