Article Body:
If writing is an art, then, blogging is one way of using words to come up with an art. This is because people who are into blogging are the ones who are artistic in their own terms, carefully choosing words that would best describe their feelings, sentiments, wishes and desires.

Basically, blogs were first introduced as weblogs, the word refers to the log that is a web-server's log file. It was created when web logging hit the virtual market. Since its inception in the mid-1990s, web logging gradually saturated the virtual community making the Internet a viable source of greater information.

However, with web logging, you still need a web site and domain names, but with blogging, you do not need anything just an account with blog service providers. In most cases, these kinds of blogs are free of charge.

With the onset of blogging in the industry, personal journaling has become a common ground for people who wish to be known all over the world. The fame is often more imaginary than real, albeit that blogs can be read anywhere in the world that an internet connection can be found.

Generally, blogs are created for personal use. Like a journal, people can write their daily adventures, sentiments, and whatever ideas they want to express online.

Nevertheless, with the advent of the online businesses, blogs have gradually moved into the limelight by providing businesses a chance to boost their profile online.

Business blogs are, basically, created to advertise the services or products of a certain web site or online business in order to increase online sales.

Moreover, business blogs are also one way of promoting the company so that other readers will know that a certain company exists online. With blogs, entrepreneurs are able to establish a name in the virtual market through articles that can be very useful in the reader's life.

From there, you can make money out of blogs by simply syndicating it to your business' web site. This can be done through RSS technology.

So, if you are thinking to create a blog, whether for business or for pleasure, you need to know some tips that could help you get through and make your blog one of the interesting blogs online.

Here's how:

1. Consider your audience

Even if your blog is generally personal, still, it would be better to consider the minds of your readers. You have to think of something that would interest them.

After all, most of the reasons of people who write blogs are not at all confined to their own personal motives. Most of them would love to be "heard" (or read) and would love to be known, in some way or another, even for just a minute. Hence, it is very important to come with a write up that everybody can understand, not necessarily that these people can relate to it but they can understand it.

2. Pictures speaks a thousand words

To make your blogging worth the browsing effort of your readers, it would be extremely nice if you put some pictures in it. It does not necessarily mean you have to place a picture of yourself. Any photographs will do as long as it does not pose danger or insult to anyone who will be reading your blog and that you have permission to use them!

3. Make constructive and beneficial blogs

Even if you are free to write anything you wan to say to the world, still, it would be better to create some write-ups that would be beneficial to your readers.

After all, its information technology that you have there so better be inclined to provide information rather than sheer quirky entertainment.

4. Avoid making multifaceted and complicated blogs

In order to have an interesting blog, try not to use some highly technical and highfalutin words. After all, it is not a science discourse or a debate that you are making, so better stick to simple facts and short blogs.

Bear in mind that most people who use the Internet usually do more scanning than scrutinizing each site word for word. Therefore, it would be better to come with blogs that will not bore your readers just because you have these lengthy articles.

5. Make it interactive

As much as possible and if your capacity will allow it, make your blog interactive. Yu can do this by placing some video or audio clips in your blog.

You can even place an area for comments or for some feedback. In this way, you can get some impressions or reactions of other people. Who knows, you might even gain some friends just by making them feel at home in your blog site.

Indeed, blogs are not created just for the mere fun of it; they also have their own purpose in the world of the Internet.
Therefore, for people who wish to harness their craft, as far as writing is concerned, blogs are the best way to do it.

As we might say, blogging is the contemporary medium for creative and commercial writing.

Private Label Articles - Get More Useful Content At Low Cost and Effort

Private label rights (PLR) are one of the hottest things in Internet marketing today. Everybody wants to know what they are and, more importantly, what benefits they can get out of them.

In essence, PLR is a kind of license you acquire for material, which allows you to change and edit existing material and call it your own. Without having to do a lot of work, you could be credited as the author of the material and not have to worry about any violations in copyright.

Not a lot of people know about the PLR articles, much less why they should pay attention to them. Give yourself the edge and find out why you should know all you can about PLR and how you can profit from them in the most efficient and effective way possible.

1. Saves time and effort.
You probably already know how much work and time it will take to write an article. On average, a single 700-word article will take about two hours to compose from scratch. If your intention is to create a website with over 50 pages, then you can see how daunting and time-consuming the task of simply writing content will be. PLR articles will save you this time and effort.

2. All credit goes to you.
You are under no obligation to credit the original author for PLR articles. As such, when you publish them on your website, no outbound links and advertisements will be there to distract your visitor / customer. All links will be focused on your brand and your affiliates.

3. Saves you money.
This point requires a different point from saving time and effort simply because of economics. Hiring writers to create content for your website averages about $15 per article. If your site were to hold even just 20 articles that you need to update regularly (say every two weeks), you'd see how the bill could add up.

But if you were to acquire PLR for a set of articles, you could save money because of the economics of scale. Articles are bought at bulk and as such it is possible to get your hands on 200 articles for only less than $30.

4. Editorial freedom.
You don't like how the article is written or the information it is presenting? PLR allows you to change the material right away without needing to ask permission from the writer.
This is also especially useful for optimizing your website for search engines since you can enrich the content with keyword phrases to improve your rankings in SERPs.

5. Create a brand for yourself.
Today, it's all about distinguishing yourself from the rest. PLR articles allow you to provide content that is both relevant and updated. By doing so you build a reputation with your target audience as an expert. And since people would much rather go with someone they trust, your chances of return visitors increases significantly.

6. Get professional results.
Many of the writers who offer articles with PLR are professionals and have access to the latest information regarding your field of interest. By acquiring the rights from them, you avail yourself of their professional results without having to retain their services regularly.

With one set of PLR articles and some creativity on your part, you can extend the life of the articles to the point where the content has more than paid for itself. So when sourcing out a supplier for PLR articles, ask for sample works to demonstrate the quality of articles you would be purchasing.

Now that you know why you should seriously consider getting PLR articles, here are some ways to get you started on profiting from them.

1. Compile a list or report.
You can consolidate a series of articles of a similar theme and package them as a report or listing of information. While you may think that anyone can do this, you'd be surprised how little of this is done.

Many people don't have the time to read or the willingness to read several articles at different times. Providing them a simplified version of the information they want will be a welcome offer for your visitors. You can either give away the report for free, sell it as your own product or use it as content on your website.

2. Use PLR content to create a series of small articles
This is especially useful when producing material for an email campaign. A series is by far, one of the more effective ways to create a following with your audience.

Give enough to allow them a feel for what you're offering and hint at giving more of the same if they will subscribe to your mailing list. In turn, your emails promote your website by inviting them to visit you on a more regular basis.

3. Produce ebooks.
It is very possible for you to take a set of PLR articles and come up with an ebook, for which you can credit yourself as the author.

Since you have created an entirely new product you could repackage this and sell this with your own resale rights. Just like you, there are people who are looking for material they can use for their own promotion needs so cater to this market as they are increasingly growing in number.

As you can see, using PLR articles are not only effective in providing truly useful content. They are also cost and labor-efficient, which means you can focus more of your time to more important matters, whether they are for business or otherwise.

Could The New Google Spider Be Causing Issues With Websites?

Could The New Google Spider Be Causing Issues With Websites?

Summary:
Around the time Google announced "Big Daddy," there was a new Googlebot roaming the web. Since then I've heard stories from clients of websites and servers going down and previously unindexed content getting indexed.

Around the time Google announced "Big Daddy," there was a new Googlebot roaming the web. Since then I've heard stories from clients of websites and servers going down and previously unindexed content getting indexed.

I started digging into this and you'd be surprised at what I found out.

First, let's look at the timeline of events:

In Late September some astute spider watchers over at Webmasterworld spotted unique Googlebot activity. In fact, it was in this thread:  that the bot was first reported on. It concerned some posters who thought that perhaps this could be regular users masquerading as the famous bot.

Early on it also appeared that the new bot wasn't obeying the Robots.txt file. This is the protocol which allows or denies crawling to parts of a website.

Speculation grew on what the new crawler was until Matt Cutts mentioned a new Google test data center . For those that don't know, Matt Cutts is a senior engineer with Google and one of the few Google employees talking to us "regular folk." This mention happened in November.

There wasn't much mention of Big Daddy until early January of this year when Matt again blogged about it asking for feedback.

Much feedback was given on the accuracy of the results. There were also those that asked if the Mozilla Googlebot (known as "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" in your visitor logs) and Big Daddy were related, but no response was made.

Now I'm going to begin some of my own speculation:

I do in fact believe the two are related. In fact, I think this new crawler will eventually replace the old crawlers just as Big Daddy will replace the current data infrastructure.

Why is this important?

Based on my observations, this crawler may be able to do so much more than the old crawler.

For one, it emulates a newer browser. The old bot was based on the Lynx text based browser. While I'm sure Google added features as time went on, the basic Lynx browser is just that – basic.

Which explains why Google couldn't deal with things like JavaScript, CSS and Flash.

However, with the new spider, built on the Mozilla engine, there are so many possibilities.

Just look at what your Mozilla or Firefox browser can do itself – render CSS, read and execute JavaScript and other scripting languages, even emulate other browsers.

But that's not all.

I've talked to a few of my clients and their sites are getting hammered by this new spider. It has gotten so bad that some of their servers have gone down because of the volume of traffic from this one spider!

On the plus side, I have clients who went from a few hundred thousand indexed pages to over 10 million in just a few weeks! Literally since December, 2005 there's been a 3500% increase in indexed pages over an 8 week period! Just so you know, this is also the client's site that went down because of the huge volume of crawling happening.

But that's still not all.

I have another client which uses IP recognition to serve content based on a person's geographic location. If you live in the US you get American content and pricing; if you live in the UK you get UK content and pricing. As you may imagine, the UK, US, Canadian and Australian content is all very similar. In fact about the only thing noticeably different is the pricing aspect.

This is my concern – if the duplicate content gets indexed by Google what will they do? There's a good chance that the site would be penalized or even banned for violation of the webmaster quality guidelines set forth by Google here:

This is why we implemented IP recognition – so that Googlebot, which crawls from US IP addresses only sees one version of the site.

However, a review of the server logs shows that this new Googlebot has been visiting not only the US content but also the content of the other sections of the site. Naturally, I wanted to verify that the IP recognition was working. It is. This leads me to wonder then; can this browser spoof its location and/or use a proxy?

Imagine that – the browser is smart enough to do some of its own testing by viewing the site from multiple IP addresses. If that's the case then those who cloak sites are going to have problems.

In any case, from the limited observations I've made, this new Google – both the data center and the spider – are going to change the way we do things.

Article Body:
The concept of starting an Internet Home-Based Business either Full time or Part-time is catching up with most people in the developed economies of the west. The Global Business Opportunities the internet offers an entrepreneur today is something that was unimaginable ten years ago and the smart ones are jumping on to the bandwagon. Furthermore the uncertainties of present day employment, commuting long distances to workplaces and the desire to spend more time with the family are contributory factors towards this desire and urge to start an internet home-based business.

1. Get that Special Feeling:

"The first and most important step towards SUCCESS is the feeling that we can SUCCEED"--Nelson Boswell.

Yes, start getting that special feeling of being a Successful Internet Home-Based Business Entrepreneur. Motivate yourself and start believing in yourself. Ask yourself "If others can be successful why can't I?"

2. Prepare a Business Plan:

Once you have made a decision to start an Internet Home-Based Business, Preparing a Business Plan should be your first priority. There should be a short term and a long term plan. What is your goal? How do you propose to achieve it? The product you wish to sell or promote, the funding strategy, the tax benefits, and the support system you have, should all be planned out.

3. Choosing a Product:

Selling your own product is the quickest and easiest way to make money from home but starting off as an Affiliate is often the best option for all new home-based business entrepreneurs. There are several Affiliate Programs promoted by successful and highly respected Internet Marketers in addition to leading organizations such as the Amazon.com and Strong Future International. There are also several leading Affiliate Program providers such as Commission Junction, Link Share, Clickbank and ClixGalore who provide a whole range of Affiliate Programs to choose from. Do some research, avoid the Scams and choose a niche product i.e. a product that satisfies a specific need of customers. Choosing the right products is the gateway to success.

4. Website, Domain Name and Web Hosting:

The website is the most important vehicle that showcases your internet home-based business to the internet marketing world. For this and other technical reasons which are beyond the scope of this article, you have to obtain the services of a professional to design your website unless of course you are capable of doing it yourself. Again the advice of a professional is useful in helping you to choose a domain name and in selecting a web hosting company, since fancy domain names and unsatisfactory web hosts can stand in the way of your business success.

5. Stick to your Full-time Job:

Stick to your full-time or day job while you are in the process of building your Internet Home-Based Business. Do not under any circumstances leave your job until your home-based business has started generating a profit and you are able to sustain yourself from it.

6. Be Passionate and Educate Yourself:

 Success comes only to those who are really passionate about whatever tasks they do. So if you want to work at home and succeed in your internet home-based business, you have to be completely dedicated and focused on your business. Motivate yourself to succeed for success is your goal. Failure is no option for you.

Keeping abreast with the technological developments taking place in your chosen field of activity is vital both for your survival and success. In other words you have to be knowledgeable in whatever you do. Knowledge also elevates you to a position of authority and boosts your image in the world of Internet Marketing and Internet Home-Based Business.

7. Promote your Internet Home-Based Business:

Once your Internet Home-Based Business website is up and about, your prime work now is to make your presence known to the internet business world. Having done the preliminaries such as preparing and optimizing the content of the website, submit it to the Search Engines and Directories. Reciprocal link building, writing articles, submitting to article directories and article submission sites will start generating traffic to your site. Building opt-in lists and advertising your internet home-based business will start bringing in additional traffic and sales for your business boosting up your morale.

These steps if followed with dedication and perseverance will take you up the ladder of Success to reach your goal of being a Successful Internet Home-Based Business Entrepreneur.

Lessons I Learned From an Accidental Millionaire

Lessons I Learned From an Accidental Millionaire

Word Count:

Summary:
Do you think people become millionaires by accident? This one did. And her lessons are helping thousands of others do the same. If you want to make more moeny and live a life you love take a look at the 7 lessons I have learned and am profiting from.

Keywords:
Work from home, work at home, home based income businesses, home based career.

Article Body:
When I first met Stephanie Frank author of The Accidental Millionaire I had no idea how much my life would be affected by our budding friendship. It wasn't because she was a best selling author, internationally known speaker and coach. Actually it was much more profoundly simpler than that.

Stephanie has the unique gift to be able to concepts that most people never understand the actions to take and create a process or blue print that makes business almost like the paint by numbers game. After a delightful interview with her I was left some pearls that will surely help you in business and life.

Here are 7 lessons I have learned from her:

1. Be a million dollar thinker. Most people get caught up in the "how" to do something. When they don't have the answers they start second guessing and sabotaging themselves from the start. Million dollars thinkers do not operate that way. Once they make a decision they look for the solutions. They create a vision and a plan.

2. Make sure your goals are congruent with your top 3 values in life. I love this one. How many times have you been presented an opportunity and the only thing the person could tell you is how much money you're going to make? Don't me wrong, I am an ethical capitalist however all money is not good money.
 
For example, some people might not be successful in the real estate foreclosure  market because they would feel like they were taking advantage of people during hard times. However, another person in that exact situation might view themselves  as being an advisor to someone who would otherwise lose their home and get nothing from it. As you can see it's the same situation but each person has a different value system.

This is not about right or wrong. You simply want to be clear about your personal values and make sure your business is in alignment.

3. Even when you're down to your last twenty dollars you could be one idea away from success.  Stephanie Frank openly shares her story about how she was a business woman by day and abused wife by night. One day her husband in a rage pushed her house, down cement stairs, onto the pavement of the driveway. While she was shaking and scared she new had a decision to make.
    
Have you ever been at a fork in the road and had to make a decision? I know I  have. For me, I knew my job was killing me. After being on a job that was making me sick I had come to my breaking point. My doctor told me if you keep this up you are going to end up in the hospital or dead. I knew them I too had a decision to make and needed to come up with a Plan B.
      
4. Make yourself a personal promise. Many times people are not just afraid of failure but success. As a result, they are paralyzed by fear and never reach their potential Stephanie points out how she does something very simply to keep her moving forward. One a sticky note she would write ONE thing she would do that day before she went to bed. Some days it would be a big task and other times it would be a small action but still moving her towards success.

Is there something you have wanted to achieve but are afraid to step on faith? What if you took just a small step today toward that very goal?

Pick up a packet of sticky notes and the next time you feel afraid just take one small step. If it worked for this millionaire it can work for you.

5. Expect that it will happen. There is a saying that you get what you expect in life. When you have an expectation to succeed the universe will open up and bring you the answers. Now the trick is you don't want to be attached to the process. Commit result to the result and be open to allowing the beauty of intention and synchronicity to work in your favor. Don't try to control the journey just embrace it.

6. Build your business for the future. This lesson should be a mantra that is taught for any new entrepreneur. So many people start off simply focusing on how they are going to create income. Don't get me wrong this is important too. However, if you end up a millionaire with no time, poor health, and no friends or family to share it with would this be success for you? Only you can answer that.

However, the truth is you are better off knowing where you want to end up so you know how to design the map to get there. You want to considerate your lifestyle first and design your business around it.

So ask yourself a few questions:
a. How many hours a day to you want to work?
b. Are you willing to work weekends?
c. How much net profit do you want to make each year?
d. How many weeks or months of vacation will you take each year?
e. Will you work when you travel?

The more clearly you define what success in your business will look like in the future the easier it is to ask the right questions to help you get there.

7. Collaborate your way to success. For many people who have let the politics, back biting and brown nosing of corporate America we relish the idea of being able to create our empire alone. While on the surface this both looks and feels good the truth is that you can only accomplish so much alone.

Stephanie shares the concept of the collaboration nation. It is a new paradigm is the way we do business…the virtual company.

The concept includes strategic alliances, out team mates and one the most important players the virtual assistant. This person can do things from make travel arrangements, appointments, book-keeping, taxes, update websites, write or edit presentations and almost any other project you can think of.

The lesson here is, focus on your strengths and collaborate with others to aid you in achieving your goal?
What does your business need to go to the next level? Who could you collaborate with to make it happen?

Stephanie Frank is an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of people around the country. Her book is not only motivational but an action plan on how to start your empire on a shoe string budget. If you want to learn lessons that will add to your bottom-line and your life you want to learn from this Accidental Millionaire.

It is hardly believable when someone says they have not heard of blogging now-a-days. The continued rise of blogging and its importance in search engine marketing has been further reinforced by Google's acquisition of a major blog tool. Google being the mother of all search engines, this step certainly proves a point in the direction the blogs are going.

Does it mean that Google is going to offer blog specific searches like Feedster and RSS? These blog search engines accept content by receiving RSS feeds and not by spidering or crawling. Both these searches are powered by RSS engine. RSS feed is a mechanism that helps webmasters to relay information about new articles or content posted.

Bloggers who use blogging tools like Blogger Pro or Moveable Type automatically create RSS feeds for their sites, the reason why RSS search engines have turned out more as blogging search engines. Any website can relay or distribute content through RSS which makes RSS search engines more than blog search engines. Conversely all blogs may not use RSS, so RSS search engines area subset of the blogging community as well as the weblog community.

Search engine marketing can benefit widely by use of RSS for the website under question. Being a part of the weblog makes a site a part of the search engine, but by activating the RSS feeds, it can make use of blog search capabilities, which will help in its rankings. This two pronged approach can make the website a part of the search engine indices as well as RSS indices, making it more specifically targeted to audience or visitors belonging to the niche.

A unmentioned fact remains that Bloggers are a very niche community class of visitors depending upon specific requirements and specific needs, so a website doing RSS feeds has more chances to targeted hits through RSS than through search engines. Of course, the whole process is again effective only when the search engine optimization process has been undertaken with due care and usage of specific niche keywords has been taken care of.

Summary:
Finally, the truth about creating online income.

Keywords:
make money online, internet marketing, get rich quick scams

Article Body:
The answer is yes and no.  Of course there are many individuals who've created a considerable amount of wealth in a short time period, but let's be realistic, that's not going to happen to most of us. Today, many online marketers claim to offer "easy" strategies to earn income, when the truth is like any other way of making money, it takes WORK.  The only difference is that with this type of work you don't have a clock to punch and the most physically demanding task required is typing.  You have to understand that most people (including myself) are generally lazy.  We all want something for nothing, we dream of having the lifestyle of wealthy people, but few are willing to do what it takes to actually make it happen.  Marketers know this, and they simply capitalize on this truth by creating advertising that appeals to our greed,  and many of us led by laziness and sheer desperation fall victim to such claims--because we want to believe them.  I know because I've done it!!  I mean, who wouldn't want to make money by barely lifting a finger??  Well I'm here to let you know if you think it's that easy, you're kidding yourself. 

Now obviously I'm not stating that all claims of wealth creation online are false, however I do believe that too many marketers oversimplify the task.  The truth is that there are thousands of ways to make money online; the hard part is finding a strategy that works for you and sticking to it.  Lots of people end up spinning their wheels for months jumping from idea to idea or quitting if desired results aren't achieved with a short time, and eventually give up after pulling their hair out and become discouraged.  Don't pull your hair out, find something that you have an interest in; for example if you want to become a drop-shipper, only focus you efforts on drop-shipping research and strategies.  Adequate research is the key to making it online.  Once you find your niche, conduct research on it.  I also strongly encourage  finding others who are in the same field, as it will benefit you to seek the guidance from vets who're making money already; you can have all the motivation in the world, but without any direction, you're left turning circles.

 Lastly, don't just stop at one source for information-which is how a lot of people set themselves up for disappointment.  Instead, use different sources related to your topic in order to provide yourself with a solid foundation; once you have a starting point search other resources as well in order to develop a well-rounded strategy to start your business.  For more articles and free information on how to earn a living with online income you can

Article Body:
Search engine marketing can be a complex and scary topic.  Endless opportunities to advertise and market, constantly changing trends and technologies, and overly complex solutions all come with the territory.  So, what you don't need when you're evaluating or creating your search engine marketing strategy is lengthy explanations about how different techniques work.  Instead, seek out advisors who can guide you with simple explanations and techniques based on real results.  That's exactly what following article is about.  It's a simple list of four things business owners can use in creating or evaluating their search engine marketing strategy. 

1. Establish Your Internet Marketing Strategy Goal

Many consultants will tell you to set goals about what you want to achieve with your website.  Forget it.  Those are distractions from the real question you need to ask yourself, which is

"What is THE purpose of my website?" 

Once you answer that question, all other aspects of search engine marketing strategy can be leveraged to help you achieve that purpose.  Typically, people use their website for many different purposes.  Regardless, you still need to answer this question.  The focus you will get from it will help you create a more effective strategy.

Here are the top three most common answers to the question "What is THE purpose of my website?"

1. To sell things

2. To generate leads for my sales team

3. To educate my target audience

It can be this simple!  Just decide which of the three answers above suits you best (or create your own) and then move on to step 2.

2. Establish a Search Engine Marketing Plan

There's a reason why search engine marketing is so hot.  It works.  It consistent generates leads, sales, etc. at a lower cost-per-lead or cost-per-sale than traditional mediums like TV or direct mail advertising.  It makes sense when you think about it: when people want to find something online, they go to Google, Yahoo!, MSN, etc. and search for it. 

Search engine marketing is all about SHOWING UP when people search for what you sell, offer, or have on your website.  There is a growing body of knowledge (books, articles, etc.) on how to do this.  And like anything else, it has become over analyzed and too complex.  To further complicate things, some search engine marketing techniques are ethical and legitimate, while some are not.  The best approach is to create a search engine marketing plan that focuses on two aspects:

1. Search engine optimization - showing up in the "free" area of the search engine's results

2. Pay-per click advertising - showing up in the "paid" area of the search engine's results

For search engine optimization, first realize there is no "silver bullet."  There just isn't a way to easily get ranked consistently high in the search engines.  It is a combination of factors that always come down to one underlying truth: build your website according to web standards, with a focus on accessibility for all. 

Just like search engine optimization, there is no "silver bullet" for pay-per click advertising, either.  Instead, the formula for PPC success is in well-placed bids (what you will pay to have your ad show up) combined with meaningful landing pages (where people go when they click on your ad).

3. Conduct Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

The goal of search engine optimization is to make changes to your website to get higher rankings in search engines.  Yet, search engine optimization is a confusing sector.  On one hand, there are "snake oil salesmen" ready to get you a #1 ranking with their latest trick.  On the other hand, the things that actually do work are very simple, and frankly, just not very "sexy." 

The best strategy to take is a common-sense approach to SEO: develop standards for your website that ALL pages must adhere to.  If you do this, and enforce it, you can then branch out to some of the other "niche" aspects of SEO.

Here's a sample list of SEO standards to enforce on your website:

1. Write descriptive HTML page titles that really describe the page it is on (in 255 characters or less)

2. Write a summary sentence that really describes the page it is on (in 255 characters or less)

3. Write page content that is focused on

4. Write descriptive ALT text for all images that describes the concept the image illustrates and never use images for text

5. Build all pages to comply with current web standards observed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Only once your web pages comply with the above standards should you start more advanced SEO techniques, including keyword targeting, 301 redirects, link building (getting more links to your site), RSS news feeds, blogs, and SEO-specific metrics and tracking.

4. Leverage Pay-Per Click Advertising

Pay-per click advertising helps you get more traffic from search engines through advertising in search engine results.  You pick terms that people search on.  You bid a price per click on your ad that you are willing to pay.  You ad shows up when someone searches on that term, and, if you're lucky, they click on your ad and come to your website.

So, pay-per click advertising really boils down to 3 components:

1. Picking keywords to advertise on (i.e. target keywords)

2. Determining what to bid for those target keywords

3. Writing copy for the ads that show up when people search

Picking keywords is all about knowing what terms your customers, clients, etc. would use when searching for your product or service.  There are several tools to help you generate ideas.  The best tools also check to see how many searches-per-month your target keywords receive.  You typically want to find keywords that generate a lot of searches every month, but are focused enough for your business.  For example, a company that sells Keen high-performance outdoor sandals probably would be best served bidding on "keen sandals" versus "sandals" which could include searches for the all-inclusive resort, Sandals.

Determining what to bid for your keywords can be a highly-scientific process, sometimes managed by complex software and several key metrics.  To keep it simple, let a tool like Google Adwords Traffic Estimator recommend to you what to bid at first.  Start there, and start small.  Your best bet is to lock-in a low daily budget limit until you are comfortable with the impressions your ads are getting, the flow of traffic from the ads to your website, and what those people do once they get to your website.

Writing ad copy comes down to writing a headline that people will click on, and creating compelling copy below that headline/link that will get people to click. 

Headlines are best created by following what magazine covers do: focus on getting attention through eye-catching, short phrases.  Using words like best (i.e. "Best Tips for a Summer Barbeque"), ultimate (i.e. "Ultimate National Park Vacations") and number-based lists (i.e. "Top 5 Hybrid Cars for 2006") have all been proven to work. 

Writing effective ad copy below the title/link is really about reinforcing the term(s) search for.  This means using the keywords in the ad copy, and starting the copy with an action verb.

By following the approach above, you can create or evaluate your search engine marketing strategy, focus on what matters most when executing your plans, and more effectively achieve your goals.

Building your business can be a difficult task. You can put hundreds of hours of effort into the business, but if you still don't have important components, you will not be successful. Today business owners are realizing that blogging boosts business. Blogs are typically only seen as personal places to express yourself and your views. The truth is however the blogs are also great places to reach people about your business or your products. There are several ways to do this type of blogging.

The best way a business can use blogging to boost their business is by taking part in the blogs of others. You can easily create quality posts with your business in mind without needing to set up a blog of your own. Try finding blogs that pertain to the area of business you are in. This will help you get started. With millions of blogs out there, you should be able to find some with no problem. Choose to post on all of them, or choose the few that get the most activity. Then begin posting. When you do, you will see positive results come in. If you are still curious about how this can boost your business, check out these three reasons blogging boosts business.

Quick Name Recognition

The fastest way to get your business's name out in the public is to make it known to your targeted marketing group. If you want to get your company's name out to men who like fishing, then you can find a blog that is about just that. When you find the blogs pertaining to this marketing group, post useful and intelligent information about topics that pertain to your company. You might not want to sound like an advertisement. Think about responding to another comment and simply tagging your signature with your company's website. This is a subtle way to get their attention. The more you post on blogs, the more widely known your company's name will become with the select marketing group. When they tell their friends and family about the site then your consumer group will have grown even more. This is a fast way to get started. You will have to invest some time however. At least an hour a day can be used for this type of task.

Consumer Testimonies

Your company might even think about hiring professionals to blog for your company. You can offer these employees products to try and give them the task of finding blogs where they can appropriately "praise" the product. By paying these people to do the task, you will be getting the work done that you need without having to devote much time. Consumer testimonials go a long way with other consumers. If these bloggers are productive enough, you will see an increase due to it.

Building Relationships

Smart business owners know that they can go further with the help of others. A great way to connect and build relationships with other businesses is via their blog. If you are a regular poster who values their business, they will be more likely to work with you. Working together with advertising is a great idea. You can swap ad space for no fee if you like. These are great things for business owners and are easy to get into when you blog regularly.

As you can see, blogging can be a great way to do business. It may seem like tricky advertising, and it is in some ways. However, it is free advertising that does the same thing as a commercial on television does. It reaches a targeted marketing group and lets them know your company's name, products, and sometimes offers an endorsement. Overall, it is an effective way to get your business out there. When people have no idea who you are, they are not going to feel comfortable working with you. The better your reputation is, the more likely they will trust you. When you have no reputation at all, they will not trust you either. So, even if you just want to use blogging to build your company's reputation, it will be worth your while. Give it a try and see what type of results you can get using these tips.

Summary:
To really maximise your eBay ebook sales you need to be promoting your eBay store.  eBay stores get less exposure than normal eBay listings and therefore will not yield great sales for you unless you promote them.  There are many ways both on and off eBay that you can promote your eBay store.  This article outlines some of them.

Article Body:
To really maximise your eBay ebook sales you need to be promoting your eBay store.  eBay stores get less exposure than normal eBay listings and therefore will not yield great sales for you unless you promote them.  There are many ways both on and off eBay that you can promote your eBay store.  This article outlines some of them:

1) Ebay Auction Listings:- eBay Auction and Buy It Now listings get the main exposure on eBay.  When someone does an eBay search for an item all the eBay Auction and Buy It Now listings are displayed first.  Then after these the eBay Store listings are displayed.  Since these Auction and Buy It Now listings are getting the most exposure it makes sense to run a few of these and insert a link to your eBay store inside the actual description.  This works especially well with Auction listings as people often click the link so they can buy the item instantly from your eBay store rather than wait for the auction to end.

2) Ebay About Me Page:- The eBay About Me page is one of the best free opportunity's eBay provides to promote yourself.  Every time someone on eBay sees your eBay ID (whether you bid on something, leave feedback, or buy an item) there will be an About Me logo next to it and some people will click this logo.  Despite this, it really is one of the most under utilised tools on eBay.  If you do not yet have an eBay About Me page yet then get one NOW.  Use it to write about your eBay store and tell people why they should buy from you.

3) Ebay Reviews and Guides:- These are a relatively new addition to eBay but they are still a great way to promote your eBay store for free.  The reviews section allows you to write product reviews such as CDs and DVDs.  The guides section is more relevant to eBay sellers as it allows you to write guides on just about anything.  There has got to be some topic that you can write a guide on so get righting now.  When people read your guide they are presented with a link to your eBay store which is again more free exposure.

4) Ebay Seller Cross Promotion:- I outlined in the last article that with an eBay store you can cross-promote your items.  Recently eBay has also added the ability to cross-promote with other sellers.  This is very easy to set up and eBay manages the whole process for you.  All you have to do is go to the "Cross-Promotion Connections" area of My eBay and then use the request cross-promotions link in order to set them up.  If the other seller agrees then a box promoting their products will appear on your listings and vice versa.  This is a valuable way to increase your eBay sales and also generate more traffic to your eBay store.

5) Search Engines:- As I mentioned in my last article you get an actual URL with your eBay store.  This URL gets listed in the eBay stores directory and search engines which means extra traffic for your eBay store.  What's more eBay allows you to pick your search engine keywords so you can be listed under the categories that you feel are most appropriate to your eBay store.  Getting listed in the search engines is a great way to bring in customers from outside of eBay and maximise your sales potential.

6) Store RSS Feed:- When you access the home page of an eBay store you may notice a small RSS box in the bottom left corner.  If you click on this RSS box then you will be shown your store's RSS feed.  Now I myself am not an expert in RSS but I do know that it is another way to promote your eBay store easily and effectively from outside of eBay.  You can get some free software that submits your RSS feeds to the main RSS directories by doing a search on Google.

7) Blogging:- For those who don't know a blog is a weblog.  It's basically like an online journal where you post your thoughts, comments, or whatever else you want.  Blogging is an excellent way to get traffic to your eBay store.  Quite a few websites offer free blogs which you can sign up for and then link back to your eBay store.  Post in it regularly to gain exposure and your blog should soon become a great source of traffic.

8) Article Submission:- There are 100s of article directories out there that will you can submit your articles to, and if accepted you are allowed to have a live link back to your website or eBay store in the author resource box.  This is a great way to generate traffic to your website in the long-term as not only do the search engines index your article, but people also reprint these articles on their websites complete with your author resource box (and live link back to your eBay store).  The longer your article is online the more it will be reprinted and so the more traffic it will generate.

Hopefully this article has opened your eyes to some of the free and effective promotion methods for your eBay store.  At first the fact that eBay Stores do not get as much exposure seems like a major problem but by putting a little effort into promoting it yourself, it can be much more successful than any eBay Auction listing.  Till next time good luck with your ebook sales and take care!!!

Summary:
When you're busy operating your business-making sure employees are doing their jobs, ensuring your products and services are delivered on time, striving toward goals and so on-it's tempting to think to yourself that you just don't have time for marketing.

Keywords:
marketing your business new business newsletter increasing  increasing  products

Article Body:
If, in fact, that thought has crossed your mind, you're not alone. However, neglecting your marketing efforts is one of the biggest mistakes you can make as an entrepreneur.
You may be concerned with hundreds of business ownership details, but you still need marketing to achieve the visibility you require to get noticed in the marketplace. This visibility leads to more prospects converted, to more customers converted, to more profits-which is the formula for staying in business. So, by deduction, entrepreneurs need marketing to stay in business.
In the world of guerrilla marketing, there's a general rule of thumb that 60 percent of your marketing should be spent on current and past customers. After all, they represent your best prospects. These people already know you, trust you and, hopefully, have confidence in your company, products and services. They've already had a good experience with your business, which increases the probability they'll buy from you, especially when compared to a new prospect who doesn't know you and hasn't yet had a positive experience with you.
The remaining 40 percent of your marketing budget should be split up this way: 30 percent should be spent on prospects, and 10 percent should be spent universally. And all this spending should happen simultaneously: You need to keep your prospect funnel full while continuing to convert prospects into paying customers. You can start by using marketing to:
1. Replace former customers with new ones. Customers come and customers go. Sometimes they leave because of us, sometimes because of them and sometimes because of factors beyond the control of either. This can't always be predicted or forecasted. To safeguard against this, you must use marketing to replace former customers with new ones. Obviously, not everyone you market to will become a customer. But to increase your chances of getting those all-important new customers, you must continually put your message in places where they'll see it.
Successful marketing is made up of many, many things done over and over. Without a consistent, repeated effort, there'll be no new customers to replace the old ones, and you'll soon enter what's known as the "death spiral" for your business. You can't allow this to happen!
2. Pay attention to your customers. Imagine for a moment that you've secured new business from more customers than you ever dreamed. The good news is, you'll be busy fulfilling their every need. The bad news is that lack of attention is the number-one reason customers abandon a business.
So if you get busy, how can you stay in touch with your most valuable customers on a regular basis? The answer is marketing. Different marketing vehicles can reach out to them and show that you're paying attention to them. You can send thank-you cards, special offers, tips and techniques, newsletters and more. The type of marketing activities let you stay in touch without being there in person.
3. Keep customers informed. Now let's say that your business is growing, and you've decided to introduce new services and products. Who will buy them? Current customers will, as well as new ones-but they won't buy unless they know about your new offerings. Product announcements, press releases, newsletter ads and advertising are just a few of the marketing vehicles that can be used to alert prospects and customers to your new products and services. Marketing once again saves the day, pays attention to your customers, informs and educates them, and causes them to eventually empty their wallets into yours.
Effective use of these guerrilla marketing tactics will let you keep your marketing costs down while increasing your return on the dollars you do spend.

learn an explosive secret to free traffic and Search Engine Optimization when you submit articles

Keywords:

Article Body:
If you are not submitting articles to article directories you should start now.
I had been online for several years and always heard that you needed to submit articles. Of course I never did for the fact that I didn't have a clue about search engine optimizations and since I didn't, I really had no need to submit articles.

Boy was I wrong! In fact I don't know if I have ever been so wrong in my life :)   To this day I don't know much about search engines but I don't really need to. I get close to 1200 hits a day just from articles that I have submitted to numerous directories.

Submitting an article is just as easy as it sounds, write an article and submit it.
However if you don't find the effort rewarding like I did you would never start. So I am going to try to do my best to convince you otherwise.

A good strategy that I have come up with is everytime I write an article and add it to my website I also submit it to the numerous article directories that I have found and added to my notepad. I have 47 article directories saved in my notepad it only takes about an hour to submit one article to all of them.

On average I send around 3 articles a week to those 47 directories and on average I net 15-25 sales a week on various programs. If you think about it 1 hour a day is nothing compared to the rewards.

I  have also started to use Isnare to auto submit my article to hundreds of ezine publishers a day which is a steal for only $2 bucks I spend a day.
Ezine announcer isn't to shabby either. Remember that I don't know much about search engines and I get around 100 unique visitors a day to my blog from google.

When you start submitting articles at a rapid pace as I do you will see outstanding results. You probably won't believe your eyes as I did when sales start flooding your inbox. Something this simple should not be overlooked by any marketer and I hope this article shows you why.

I have compiled a short few directories that should get you started on your path to happy submitting.

Write an article, get the traffic. Well sort of! Since the birth of writing articles, our industry has caught on to the phenomena of increasing your website's traffic by becoming the professional in your field.

Write an article, get the traffic. Well sort of! Since the birth of writing articles, our industry has caught on to the phenomena of increasing your website's traffic by becoming the professional in your field. The only problem with this is that for every serious professional in one field, there are a thousand other writers who are jumping on the "band wagon".

This article phenomenon is hurting every industry!

From bloggers, column writers, and e-books, the writing industry is yearning for more great writers. The internet marketing community is especially hurting for better content.

With the birth of SEO (search engine optimization), people all over the world are searching, browsing, and reading everything they can on how to promote their business on the internet. Because of this demand for different content, the supply of writers are increasing everyday but the quality of articles is decreasing exponentially.

Everyone is writing about the exact same thing! My company receives on average 10-20 articles per hour submitted to us. I would have to say that only 1 in about 100 articles submitted are ever published within our website. Those numbers are extremely low and for good reason.

It's all about "substance" - or lack of it!

Many articles we review are nothing more than simple "babble" and most of them are pointless. You can seriously tell right away whether the article is just a promotional piece or something with actual substance within the content.

Great content is very important. There is a misconception out there that most people won't read your content and you can pretty much post anything you want within your website as long as your website is clean, professional looking, and can be found online.

YOU ARE SOOOOO WRONG!

website content development

If there is one constant online, it's the fact that the general public is getting smarter and more knowledgeable on how to research for honest, reputable companies on the internet.

Unfortunately, authors these days are simply stealing from other great authors!

I am not talking about posting someone else's article on your website! Copying content from other leaders in your industry will only hurt your company. This is why the writing industry is getting worse; many writers out there simply select a topic they want to write about, then they go online and find 5 articles on that topic. Once they have some other great articles, they simply proceed to combine each article for themselves, by personalizing the content a little.

Do you ever wonder why for specific topics within your industry, you can find hundreds of authors that wrote almost the exact same thing? I call these people "Content Copiers".

Even worse are people who buy articles to post online ! ! !

This gets me every time. Did you know that you can now hire a company to write something for you and insert your company information as the source and author of the article? This strategy is seriously sad considering I can almost guarantee you that the article you just bought was also sold to a handful of other companies. All they do is tweak the article a little bit and insert a different title.

No one knows your business more than you do. If you are seriously good at what you do, 9 times out of 10, you probably have enough knowledge to write an article that makes sense, that is unique in content, and that has your personal touch.

We've all come across different situations while operating our businesses. These small but important situations are what gives us confidence in what we do. When you learn from your mistakes, you should also consider educating people on what you've learned in order to help your potential clients or even help better educate your industry.

Think beyond yourself and write down something helpful.

I hope you've enjoyed this article!

Article Body:
These days, people are interested in building their connections thereby increasing the number of people or friends in their circle. This could help them make more friends with people who are from other parts of the world. Ever since the internet was introduced, it has taken over our lives and we now carry out every possible activity on this platform. If a person creates a personal space on the internet or is into blogging, they can promote work and use to browse for funny images and watch funny video clips. Not only do they make you popular among your peer group, this is a way to share new websites with each other.
Blogging has become a rage these days with almost everyone owning a blog URL, which is like a personal diary, except it is maintained online. For some it is a way to express their inner feelings and jot them down on a daily basis. Others it's a platform that allows them to showcase their talent and invite new business opportunities and these people are referred to as Bloggers. When we surf the net, we look for humor related sites or those that have funny pictures and videos in them. This is a way to break the monotony of the busy day and enjoy those few moments of laughter. There are many sites that have funny videos in them, and if a person desires, he can embed these videos into personal blogs. All they have to do is copy the html tag given with the video and post it on their blog and it will remain up there for all visitors who stop by and enjoy a good laugh.
Among the many networking sites that have come about, MySpace is the third most popular in the United States and the sixth in the world. A place where you can make friends, get to know people from across the world, impart information about you and look for job options is what this is. You can put up your blog URL, any pictures and funny videos you wish to share with others and they would get noticed instantly. It is a way of drawing attention to oneself through which the member can leverage on the features offered at MySpace.
The Flash videos available on various sites are videos created as Windows Media or MPEG files, and later converted to flash. The reason flash players are the new wave in video media, is that they offer more GUIs than the old players. GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. Simply put, the controls you see in flash players are created in flash, and are unlimited. Flash players are also very popular because most computers have a built-in Flash player, making these videos available to everyone online.
Once you have embedded the code onto your page, you can watch your favorite funny video clips by simply clicking on the screenshot on the page. The flash player also enables the viewers to navigate to the source link to watch more funny videos. The same applies to those crazy funny pictures that capture hilarious moments in time. Why not share your crazy pictures with groups all over the world by uploading them to your blog or favorite social networking site? Venues like MySpace and blogs allow the users to join groups based on subjects of their preference and share their funny images and videos with their friends. It is human nature to want to share, especially good, funny things and that is exactly what these sites offer. It only takes a few minutes to leave your impression of humor on thousands of people online.

Summary:
Starting a small business can be trying under the best of circumstances.

Starting a small business can be trying under the best of circumstances. You've had your idea, you had the gumption and resourcefulness to acquire enough funds to open, and you're quite sure that if enough people find out about your business, you're going to make a fortune; or at least enough to make a living off of. But that's the rub. How will people find out about your business in the first place. Your advertising budget may be meager or nonexistent. If this is the case, you'll be dead on arrival if you don't find some free or cheap methods of attracting people to your business. Here are a few ways you can advertise on the cheap. They may not sound like much, but they'll help get the ball rolling when you have no other options.

The first thing you need to do is get a website. You can likely find a domain name for under $10, and find a hosting service that will only charge you about that much a month to keep a website. This is essential in today's internet age, even if you plan on doing no selling on the actual website. You can do all kinds of things with a website, and if you devote yourself to learning search engine optimization techniques, soon you can be near the top of a Google search for the genre of your business. As an addendum to this, make sure you add your website address to the signature of your outgoing emails. Getting business cards will be another step along your cheap advertising route, and you'll want to add your website to these as well.

Bumper stickers don't cost much to make up, and if their colorful and creative, people will naturally want them. Put the first one on your own car. After all, if you aren't willing to toot your own horn, why would anyone else? Along the same lines, get some T-shirts made up and wear your T-shirt to public places, particularly places that might be hangouts for your targeted audience.

The most powerful form of advertising is, and always has been, word of mouth. If you are starting up a small business and have done even a modicum of research into what this entails, then you've doubtlessly heard this over and over again. What does this mean to you, though? After all, you can't force people to talk about your business. No, but you can provide the best service, selection, something. If you are the best at what you do in at least one area, people will talk about you in a favorable light. Nowadays, it is increasingly difficult to find two commodities that should be as cheap as table salt: friendliness and good service. These two things don't cost you a dime, but supplying them will make a big difference in the success or failure of your business.

There are so many occasions in which a gift basket can make a wonderful gift. Holidays, birthdays and anniversaries are all great occasions where a gift basic would be a fitting gift. This is why creating your own gift basket home business is such a sound opportunity. You can make the baskets from your home and advertise through the local paper or online for a larger advertisement opportunity.

Basket Occasions

You can create gift baskets by theme, holiday or occasion. Your baskets can go from simple to extravagant. This allows you to appeal to every customer's budget. In order to create a thriving business you should do some researches about your competition, which will allow you, understand how to price your items. Check gift basket sites online as well as local providers. You will want to keep your prices within range of your competition perhaps slightly lower priced.

Business Research

You will also want to look over some wholesale sites for your baskets items. You can easily find items at great prices for your baskets. You can even receive discounts when ordering in bulk, which can come in handy when beginning a new business. You will also want to invest some time in creating ideas and designs for your gift baskets. You can find inspiration through magazines and books from your local library. You may also want to see if bakeries or other shops in your area are interested in placing items in your baskets for partial profit. This can allow you to sell your baskets in local gift shops by having an item from that shop in your basket. Creating a network with bakeries and local shops can help build a solid business foundation.

Be Creative

Think outside of the box with your gift baskets. You can take an inexpensive tool box and fill it with sunflower seeds, beef jerky and a sporting magazine for a Father's day basket. For mother's day take a large pitcher and place a book, a towel, sunglasses and tea packet for a "relax the day away "basket. The more unique and eye catching you can create the more you will appeal to customers.

A Lasting Business

Think big for holidays. You can make a gift basket for both large and small holidays. You can even create gift baskets in remembrance of loved ones. The possibilities are endless. It's a matter of opening your eyes to creativity. You can release your creative spirit and make an honest and fulfilling living for yourself and your family. You provide yourself with a home based business opportunity that can not only care for your family now but last well into the future as a job that can be passed down as a family business. The ability to create for you a lasting business can be worth its weight in gold. If you enjoy making gifts and are interested in becoming a home business entrepreneur than a gift basket business could be just what you are looking for.

I talk to a lot of people who are doing business online everyday (no surprise given my industry). Come to think about it, almost every single one of my conversations are with Internet business owners and 90% of them ask me the same question; "Would you please take a look at my website, and give me any ideas on how to improve it?" Besides helping business owners find products to dropship, I own my own business online and have been where these people are. I love to help in every area that I can, or have time for.

I have narrowed down what I think are the top 6 ideas to improving a dropshipping website -

1. Site Structure - Make sure your site loads fast, and that the code is clean. If you built the website yourself, or had someone else build it, did you make sure (you or) they used CSS, and that it validates. When using CSS you make sure that everything on the site is uniform. The font size, style of font, colors used etc. You will lose more customers then you realize by having a site that looks like it was designed by a 6th grader in a computer class. I know you have seen them. Text that is a rainbow of colors. First paragraph green, second paragraph red, next yellow and so on (just repeat any color you can think of and you get the point). Creating a site like this is very unprofessional and you will not be taken serious.

2. Images, graphics and banners - Make sure that you are using the cleanest looking, fastest loading and most optimized images you can. There are several programs out there that will help you optimize your images for the web. You may even have some software on your computer and not even know it. Most programs like Photo Shop, or Paint Shop Pro (even the basic operating system photo programs) have image optimization programs that can help speed up the load time and clarity of the photo. The more images that can help describe the product you are selling, the better. Remember the saying that a picture is worth a thousand words.

3. Site Navigation - If your potential customers can't browse through your site easily, or feel they are lost, you will lose them 80% of the time from my experience and website analytics tracking. I try to follow the "3 click rule", meaning that it will not take people more then 3 clicks to get to your shopping cart. Also make sure you add an html site map and a universal search engine site map so the search engines can know about the pages you are offering and when they are updated. Doing this will help you have the freshest content from your site on the search engines.

4. Amazing Unique Keyword Rich Content - The more information you can provide the better. People get on search engines to look for what? Information. If you are not providing information that is at the very least better then your competition, then you might as well give up. For example, if you are working with a supplier, and so are 1000 other people, how many of those people do you think are just copy and pasting the product descriptions and not doing anything they can to make it their own using the keywords they want to target? Most of those people are not doing anything to make their content better (from my experience) so even just changing things around a little and making the content better by being more descriptive and using more keywords will put you ahead of the competition 100%.

5. Make Me Feel Safe - If you do not have any kind of SSL certificate, BBL logo, or "hacker safe" logo on your site, then you need to research these out and do whatever you can to get at least one of these added to your site where visitors can clearly see. With all of the talk going on about identity theft people are very weary these days about giving credit card info online. So, anything you can do to help people feel safer on your site (even a little bit) will help increase sales.

6. Contact Info - People are curious by nature, and the thing that runs through my mind more then anything when I am visiting a site is - "Who is the person behind this?" I want to know that I can talk to a human if needed and that someone will be there to actually answer my email or return my call. Make sure you have a phone number where people can contact you, email address and mailing address. When people know they can contact you they feel safer and will be less hesitant to purchase from you.

I have blogged a lot about these topics in the past, but i wanted to do a new post and talk about what I believe are the most important things you can be doing right now to improve how things are going on your website. These are not hard or costly steps, but will take some time and planning. If you get started implementing them now it will pay off in the long run.

New Year's resolutions are launched with good intentions by the tens of millions every December. And somewhere along the way - usually in January - most of them become an afterthought. The mere topic of New Year's resolutions only gets pulled up again in December, when planning (yet again) for the next year.

But a business goal is a horse of a different color.

Because business goals directly tie-in to one's finances - which in turn affects how we live - we pursue them more aggressively. That's the good news.

However in that pursuit lies several pitfalls. Pitfalls that are well hidden from the naked eye. Pitfalls that only reveal themselves once we begin our business goal achievement quest.

What are those pitfalls exactly? Here are three that strike most entrepreneurs at the least favorable moments:

1) You fell for the infamous "You are LIMITLESS" mantra.
Bestselling spiritual/self-help author Wayne Dyer often reminds his followers, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience."

And even though the soul may be free as vast as the universe - we are still confined to an overcoat of skin and bones and gravity. And it is this temporary overcoat that causes very real limitations.

I mean let's face it, there can only be one American Idol in 2008 (or Canadian Idol or whatever Idol for the part of the world you live in). There's one President, one Queen, one gold medalist slalom skier, one winner of the Best Actor on Academy Awards night.

And even though you may deeply yearn, affirm and visualize holding one these positions, you might not ever end up there.

A good friend of mine had an uncle who owned a horse ranch. He was a masterful rider and dreamt of becoming a famous jockey. But at the age of 16 he was almost 6 feet tall. Which is apparently too tall to become a jockey.

We - as human beings - all have limits. Limits caused by financial circumstances, family obligations, time constraints, lack of knowledge, lack of skill, age restrictions, height restrictions, and so on.

The thing is, limitations should never be viewed as stop signs. On the contrary, they allow us to confidently move in directions that work with our natural talents, abilities and lifestyles. Limitations allow us to see how we can improve ourselves.

So acknowledge your limitations. (It's okay!) And if you can't beat 'em, be confident and wise enough to work around 'em.

2) You didn't anticipate the potential problems along the way - or the residuals of success.
As I write this article the jackpot for the New York state lottery is at $115 million dollars. Manhattan office workers file into the deli's during their lunch hour to stand on those lottery lines, and fantasize amongst each other about winning.

From the middle class viewpoint, a big lottery win looks absolutely delicious. But Dr. Steven J. Danish, professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, paints a very different picture.

According to "Windfall not always a blessing, psychologists say,"
"Danish has counseled lottery winners for more than 12 years, and almost all his patients have had serious problems after collecting their winnings. After the initial shock passes, a sense of guilt often arrives, along with the hoards of people asking for money. Giving or leaving money to family -- including mysterious, long-lost relatives -- is often the biggest source of stress, he said."

But this phenomena isn't limited to lottery winners. It happens to entrepreneurs as well.

Yes, your eyes always have to be peeled for the potholes in the road. But you must also consider the problems that come with extreme success.

For example, will you have enough inventory if a positive review of your product generates a flood of 10,000 orders? How will you manage your time fulfilling orders? Do you have a babysitter lined up for business emergencies?

Don't focus on failure. Do create a mindset of preparedness.

3) You focus a lot of energy on past mistakes, instead of learning from them and moving on.
A very dear friend whom I've known for 15 years has been wanting to start his own business for as long as I've known him. Early in our friendship he and his sister-in-law decided to do some kind of venture together. The venture flopped. He lost $4K, while she lost almost nothing.

Over a decade later, he still talks about how much he wants to go into business for himself. But the memory of losing that $4K re-plays itself over and over in his mind. It's the reason why he commutes to a government job every day, instead of taking the plunge and starting his own business.

Sadly enough, he rationalizes his inability to move forward by saying that he'd rather be 100% sure that he's doing the right thing, instead of going in with a half-baked idea.

My outlook as a seasoned entrepreneur is a little different. Nothing in life is 100% guaranteed. The best-laid plans can be thwarted in the blink of an eye. The best you can do is learn from the past (not LIVE in the past) and move on.
