    If You Build A Better Website Will The World Beat A Path To Your Door?
    So much money, time and energy is being devoted to website design and optimization. But what do customers need to purchase your products or utilize your services?They need a kiss. “KISS” means “Keep it simple -------!A flea market has a very simple layout. Find a spot, lay your products on a table or on the ground and have a flood of people passing by.The idea is that there is not a lot of time for bells and whistles. Some very not so good looking websites are making money. Why? Traffic.Yes, build an informative and interactive website with content, subscriptions, a guest books if you like. But, no traffic no sale. Put something on a webpage that people want in a presentable fashion and they will buy it: that’s if they see it.Search engine optimization is good. Do it. Search Engines are very unpredictable. Today you are in the top10, tomorrow you don’t show up in a search. They change their styles for obvious reasons. Yet you should still put some good relevant keywords in your meta tags and throughout your pages. If you show

    Make Money Fast Jason Calacanis Link Generation Ideas
    In this article I am going to talk about the secret make money fast link generation technique that top million dollar blogger Jason Calacanis has perfected.It is a simple trick, but the execution and idea generation is the tricky part. Start off by asking yourself what sort of resource or article you would love to link to right away. Program the wonderful computer you're carrying on your shoulder to generate make money fast link generation ideas for you. Focus, really focus your mind on that problem.There are a few aspects of human nature that you need to be aware of before you go into this exercise. The most important is that controversy sells because it attracts human attention. It actually excites. Ask yourself why most folks love to gossip about most things and carefully study the contents of their gossip. What kind of gossip really sells. The controversial outrageous ones of course.In the Calacanis post that I believe broke all records in terms of link generation (even I linked to it – I couldn't help myself) a reader makes a revealing observation.

    Whether you use Google, Yahoo, MSN or Dogpile, searching the web can be both rewarding and frustrating. If you don’t have a few tips under your belt, you can waste needless time sorting and sifting through results which are all over the board. Everyone knows that you type words into your search engine and it returns pages upon pages of information about websites containing answers you might be seeking. Unfortunately, if you just type a few words into the search bar, you’re going to receive a jumble of both relevant and irrelevant results.

    So how do you pare down your Googles? Let’s take a look at two of the biggest search engines: Google. Now, I’m a Google nut, but I have also used Yahoo from time to time.

    Let’s start with the basics on Google. You type in a couple words and viola, pages return with information. You start sifting through.

    Tip #1: Get exact results by adding “quotation marks” around your search term

    Most people know that if you type in more than one word, for instance, a name, search engines will return every result that contains those two words. I searched first on my name, Judith Brandy. Google brought back every website that had the words, Judith and Brandy in its title or description. It included a liquor site, people who were names Brandy with a different first name and assorted other junk that was irrelavant to my search. I was Googling myself to see where my articles had been placed. So, Brandy DVDs and Videos at Search Extreme, would not help me. Surprisingly, I popped up at the top as an ExpertAuthor on an article site and found out that a couple of my articles had been picked up on some other websites already. This was nice know, but as I scrolled down, I found relevance disappearing before I reached the bottom of page one. So I added the quotations, and viola, a much more narrow, relevant search result was returned. So the addition of quotations was a real plus.

    Tip #2: Narrow the results you receive by adding a space followed by a minus signed followed by the words you want to exclude.

    For example, say you want to search on Battletar Galactica, but you don’t want to get every website and blog out there. You don’t want to get the original Battlestar Galactica television show from 25 years ago. You want the new, reimaged Battlestar on television now. So you type into the search box “space” (that’s not the word, by the way. You hit the space bar once) and then type a minus “-” sign plus the term you want to exclude like I’ve done below:Search term: Battlestar Galactica -originalThis takes out any website that covers the 1978 original television show, Battlestar Galactica.

    Tip #3: Get up-to-date stock quotes without going past the search page.

    This is an easy one. Simply type in a stock symbol and it will return the company name, latest price and price chart at the top of the page, plus all relevent websites connected to it below. So I typed in GOOGLE STOCK SYMBOL to get back GOOG, then I typed GOOG into the box and it returned a chart, the open-high-low as well as other website where it can be further researched. Needless to say, Google is doing quite well.

    Tip #4: Type in certain questions about people and places and get answers.

    Are you interested in the population of Tokyo, Japan? Or New York City? Would you like to know where Edward James Olmos or Joe Flanigan were born? Would you like to know what is "rabbit proof fence"? These are the kinds of questions you can ask Google.

    ClickZ Email Marketing Conference: Strategic Partnerships
    We've all seen examples of how successful strategic partnerships work, leveraging the contacts and resources of every partner, for the benefit of all by generating business and defeating competitors that would have been impossible alone.A successful strategic partnership is the best illustration of the expression, "all boats rise together on a rising tide" - so what's the problem? What do you have to lose when considering s strategic partnership?I met the owners of five small printing companies recently. Each had known the others for years, they are part of the same metropolitan area business community, yet when they began considering a strategic partnership - they took months to iron out the details. Why?Because they envisioned using email to each other's house lists (loyal customers and qualified prospects) as the process to jump start the process and they wanted to be absolutely sure how they were being represented before doing so.They had seen strategic partnerships created to undertake a joint email marketing campaign. They had been on the recei

    Effective Networking Skills: The Art Of Taking Your Job Search To A Whole New Level
    Your network consists of family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and former employers. It also consists of your dentist, your barber or hair stylist, your accountant and your local grocery store manager. Networking is not only who you know, but who knows you. You may know a lot of people, but how well do they know you – especially in terms of your skills, talents, creativity and potential? How familiar are these people with your value proposition -- your unique gifts?It is your value proposition that differentiates you from the crowd; it is what stands out in the minds of those with whom you are networking. Your value proposition is the cornerstone for all self-introductory communication. It sets the tone. It’s how you make your mark. It is how you describe yourself during any networking scenario.The best way to network is to communicate your qualities to the people you know, so they in turn will know you better.

    Search Engine Gaming, Common Miss Spellings and Brand Names with Spell Check
    Some online authors recently have noted along with the all time biggest online article submission website that some folks are purposefully miss spelling article titles in order to game the search engines and take advantage of Internet Users who make typos in Search Engines. Additionally if you look at an online article on an online article submission site and see miss spellings in the titles you probably are thinking; Tacky!But if an online article submission website makes a rule; No Miss Spelled Words in the Titles, then this is also problematic, as who decides? Some online before its time artificially intelligent inferior spell check? Next I wish to point out that using miss spelled words by dictionary definition is one thing, then there are Brand Names and brand names which become words like Kleenex or “I FedEx’ed it” or “Make a Xerox of this Please” and then there are inventa-words too.All of which is to be considered writer’s prose or even free speech. I believe that the argument against miss spelled words is a lousy one, unless utterly abused in every articl

    Tip #4: Type in certain questions about people and places and get answers.

    Are you interested in the population of Tokyo, Japan? Or New York City? Would you like to know where Edward James Olmos or Joe Flanigan were born? Would you like to know what is "rabbit proof fence"? These are the kinds of questions you can ask Google.

    Simply type the following:

    “population of Tokyo, Japan” with no quotes and Google returns “Japan — Population: 127,417,244”

    “population of New York City” with no quotes and Google returns “New York City — Population: 8 Million”

    “birthplace of Edward James Olmos” and Google returns “Edward James Olmos — Place of Birth: East Los Angeles, California, USA”

    “birthplace of Joe Flanigan” and Google returns “Joe Flanigan — Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California, USA”

    “who is Joe Flanigan” you wonder? Well, type it in and you’ll get an answer. “Joe Flanigan ... has long-running guest roles on numerous television series, including Profiler, First Monday, ...” and a link to where you can find out more.

    Try the last one yourself. Type in what is “rabbit proof fence” and Google returns . . .

    Tip #5: Find out where an area code or zip code is located quickly and easily.

    Ask Google. Type - area code "610" and Google will return this answer - Area Code Look Up and ReferenceListing of the majority of Area Codes throughout the US and the world. ... 610, PA, SE Pennsylvania: Allentown, Reading, 484, 835 ... - no muss, no fuss, just the facts at lightspeed. Tip #6: Get the weather of any place in the world Type “weather plus a location” and Google will return the current weather plus, for places in the United States, four days worth of weather and a few graphic representations in 0.09 seconds. Much faster and easier than surfing over to the weather channel and looking it up. You don’t need the quotation marks, by the way.

    Tip #6: Google is a calculator

    Type in 25 x 25 and Google will calculate and deliver you the result of 625. Instant calculations online. Divide = / and Multiply = *. Plus and minus are + and -.

    Tip #7: Get the local time any place on Earth.

    What time is it in Venice, Italy? Now you could surf on over to the World Time Clock, scroll through and find the country, find Italy, find the city of Venice, but why waste time? Simply type in “what time is it in Venice, Italy” and Google will return the correct answer, plus a link to where you can get more information all in 0.26 seconds.

    Tip #8: Going to a foreign country? Do current monetary conversions.

    Simply key the following into the search box - 23000 yen in US dollars - and Google will return a quick conversion: 23 000 Japanese yen = 196.68197 U.S. dollars. If you’re headed to Asia, this is invaluable and easy.
