Statistics show that people who have already bought a factory refurbished computer will never buy 'new' computer again! Manufacturers are so sure about there refurbished computer equipment that they offer the original warranties.<br /><br /><br />Exactly what is considered factory refurbished computer equipment?<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">A lot of things can be labeled factory refurbished. So frivolous are some that it's silly enough to make you laugh! Consumer laws prevent manufacturers from selling anything considered factory refurbished as new, so the second consumer gets the best deal and its just like a new computer!<br /><br />For example, most major retail stores offer a 30 day money back guarantee on their computer equipment and some consumers take advantage of this. So when the new computer is returned, the manufacturer inspects the product and repackages it like new. But it can't be sold as new now so you get a great price with the original warranty, now its considerd a refurbished computer. Other reasons may be the box was damaged in shipment and so it was returned, a slight defect, the defective part is replaced by the manufacturer, tested and then repackaged just like new. Maybe a minor cosmetic blemish on the casing that was corrected. Demonstration units are also considerd factory refurbished computers. They are also inspected, tested and repackaged. The box was simply opened or brand new items that have been overstocked are also labeled factory refurbished.<br /><br />Its hard to tell the history of each and every refurbished computer item but what ever the reason for the refurbished label you can be sure that the computer equipment has been inspected and serviced by the manufacturer then tested and repackaged to meet original product specifications, just like a new computer. And like I said before, all computer equipment merchandise is warranted by the original manufacturer unless otherwise specified.<br /><br />Why buy a refurbished computer?<br />Well, to save MONEY! Why not get the best value while getting the exact same computer equipment? Also, you get the original manufacturers warranty and get a much, much lower price on your new computer.<br /><br />Now with refurbished computer equipment you can afford that item which has been just out of your reach because it cost too much. And you will get the same performance! Actually refurbished items have a much lower defect rate than new ones. Only one in ten units that come back for repair is usually a factory refurb! That is because they are closely tested before they are sold. The only difference you may notice is a little label on the outside of the box or simply a brown box. So think hard before your purchase, are you shopping smart?<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">the author: Bonnie Archer </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-59713187434437378682010-10-24T19:34:00.000-07:002010-10-24T19:38:39.302-07:00Business expert says : Marketing your home business for big profits<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0yV-RiO5dzEyIjlTrBZOtV9fJGJ042RpG7qPcWTD-p42YlwCZaOqJK92n98jaCNnqEw36hvB4zbdKhSN5RyRxxi9zVU0GYw6d2z4LsEiq9fIKhLBKxF-XeveGAXo31dFj0_dojmttRirL/s1600/MONEY.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 145px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0yV-RiO5dzEyIjlTrBZOtV9fJGJ042RpG7qPcWTD-p42YlwCZaOqJK92n98jaCNnqEw36hvB4zbdKhSN5RyRxxi9zVU0GYw6d2z4LsEiq9fIKhLBKxF-XeveGAXo31dFj0_dojmttRirL/s200/MONEY.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5531807311043156674" border="0" /></a>Marketing your home business for big profits takes some due diligence and the right resources.<br /><br />In 1999 I started a home based business, and I submitted my website to every search engine that would take it from here to the North Pole. I submitted classified ads; I had more links on my website, than Carter has pills.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost">I bought the submission software’s, the top ads on classified ad sites, the linking programs and so on.<br /><br />I had about $500 to spend on this venture and I spent it all on marketing.<br /><br />Yes I got a few hits, and some replies. But after a year of not really getting off the ground, I closed down shop and stuck my tail between my legs and just took the loss and figured this home business stuff was not to done.<br /><br />Jan 2004 I wanted to try this home business venture again, only this time I was going to some research on home business and how people succeed in it.<br /><br />I read news articles on the internet, went into forums to see what others were doing, and so on. Found out quickly everyone has an opinion on what works and what doesn’t.<br /><br />Well I did learn quite a bit, like on my first venture I was linking to every website that would take my link. I found out, it is not the amount of links; it is the quality of websites you link to.<br /><br />That was one mistake. Found out also that these submission software’s and programs are not all that great either.<br /><br />After about 6 months of research and reading, I reopened a new home business in July 2004. I applied what I had learned to this business.<br /><br />To my surprise after about 2 weeks I started getting some affiliates, had a couple sales, and things were off and running.<br /><br />A little over a month went buy and I was continuing to make progress, and then I stumbled on to what I consider is one of the best business tools out there.<br /><br />It was an organization that had all the proven tools, resources, experts, materials, books you name it on how to get make big profits on your home business.<br /><br />Well I signed up, and for once that was the best money I spent, a low monthly fee for all of there resources. Well let’s just say, that in 1 month my profits doubled.<br /><br />The next month they doubled again! All this buy just having the right resources and tools at my disposal, is what made the difference in 2004, compared to my flop in 1999.<br /><br />I turn 45 years old in 2005, and have planned on retiring from my full time job in the aerospace industry. My home business as gotten so big and so profitable that I know longer need my other job.<br /><br />You know what J.O.B. stands for (Just over Broke). Well I know longer need to worry about that, now that I have the financial freedom to support my family for years to come.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">The author: Jim Noel</span></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-38299010290007318792009-02-18T06:38:00.000-08:002009-02-18T06:46:29.584-08:00Web expert says :The Internet Marketers Answer to Frontpage and Dreamweaver<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Er4Ulf47UHiyfTcatAh9sNR_vfMc7aDZUOQGz555HhaN1w46eMEI_MS7bjenNDqZyk9Es3qFrNfYxv06t3-IYHpo2X0wMpMF57voh8F0aNonqGZe20ovPwdpLJNDYIMsM2O4bt7wP4OY/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Er4Ulf47UHiyfTcatAh9sNR_vfMc7aDZUOQGz555HhaN1w46eMEI_MS7bjenNDqZyk9Es3qFrNfYxv06t3-IYHpo2X0wMpMF57voh8F0aNonqGZe20ovPwdpLJNDYIMsM2O4bt7wP4OY/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304148616236584786" border="0" /></a>Leading Web site design packages have a serious contender called XSitePro, a new software package geared toward the rapidly expanding world of Internet marketing.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />XSitePro is a new web site design package that creates entire web sites, not just individual pages, with ease.<br /><br />Unlike leading web design programs, XSitePro approaches the whole process of site design from an online marketer's perspective, incorporating easy-to-use features that differentiate XSitePro from other site design software.<br /><br />"We are confident that XSitePro offers the alternative to Microsoft's FrontPage and Macromedia's Dreamweaver that Internet marketers and other web designers are looking for," says Paul Smithson, president and CEO, of Intellimon Ltd. "Our customers can create professional Web sites in a fraction of the time it would take them using other web design software."<br /><br />XSitePro users don't need to know how to write code to create a professional quality web site. Anyone who has word processing skills can create web pages using the built-in "What you see is what you get" page editor.<br /><br />Users will also find that XSitePro is a great program for keeping their web sites updated after they have been created. Using the page layout feature it is possible to change the whole style of a site in minutes rather than days. You no longer have to settle with existing designs, or be intimidated by the workload of redesigning your sites.<br /><br />"It is refreshing to see the product designed from the ground up for marketers," says Ed Keay-Smith of AdWords Marketing. "I love the built in automation of affiliate and Google AdWords links…I have now chosen to use XSite Pro over FrontPage as my major money making website builder."<br /><br />Here are just a few of the great features that this software offers:<br /><br />-Add Google AdSense ads with just two clicks of the mouse, adding extra income streams with little effort.<br /><br />-Hide unattractive page urls by creating redirect pages that automatically forward visitors to alternative locations.<br /><br />-Include navigation menus that automatically update themselves whenever new pages are added.<br /><br />- Use the 130,000 word built-in spell-checker to guarantee spelling mistakes do not occur on any pages.<br /><br />-Split long documents into multiple pages that include complete page navigation menus.<br /><br />-Keep track of all of the essential information regarding web hosting, which means users will never forget any important information such as usernames, passwords, mail server details, etc.<br /><br />-Export sites into other Web design programs, such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver.<br /><br />XSitePro also assists users with optimizing their Web sites for the search engines. Users can designate keywords that are automatically added to the meta tags of every new Web site or Web page created. They can also measure if they have used keywords the correct number of times on each page and quickly make corrections so that they maximize the chance of ranking well in search engines.<br /><br />You don't need to worry about backing up your data either as the software can back-up all your web site work to a single file in just one mouse click.<br /><br />In my opinion XSitePro is definitely one of the most exciting software packages to have been released in recent years.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Michael Jones has been reviewing the latest releases for computer magazines since the early 1980s.

Ultimately it depends on you - how well you focus on your target market, how well you choose your program, and how hard you are willing to work. The following are a set of guidelines that you can consult if you wish to be a network marketing success.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />To start with, put down your goals and plans on paper. You cannot do many things at once, so you need to prioritize.<br /><br />Don't wait for the perfect conditions to prevail, they never might! Begin right away, with whatever resources you have.<br /><br />Expect rejections. Don't get upset by them. Keep in mind that people are not rejecting you, they are rejecting an idea. Instead, build on your successes. Be persistent.<br /><br />Treat your network marketing business as a serious, full-time business, and it will soon become one.<br /><br />Follow up. It is as important as the initial contact. Many network marketers say that they got their best people after following up three to five times.<br /><br />Keep your patience. Expect the hardest work in the first six months and the least compensation. But it will improve. Large incomes don't happen overnight.<br /><br />Contact your upline or the company for suggestions on how to grow your business.<br /><br />Ask people what they think honestly of the program. This way you get to hear the objections they might have about your network marketing opportunity, and you can better equip yourself with data, logical argument or other proof to overcome these objections.<br /><br />Plan your activity weekly and follow it persistently. Network marketing success almost always depends on how well you can stick to your planning.<br /><br />Assist your downline as much as you can. Let them know that you are there with your support. Teach them to do the same to their downline. Help others become successful, and you will become a network marketing success yourself.<br /><br />Present yourself and your business in a professional and honest manner. Stick to facts, and don't exaggerate opportunities.<br /><br />Communicate constantly with your downline. Keep close contact with them. Use voice chat, newsletters, meetings, phone calls, email, voice mail, faxes, postcards, etc.<br /><br />Read motivational books. Understand the richness of the human intelligence and get prepared to tap your resources. Think positive. Dream big. Keep the people around you motivated constantly. And don't let the negative attitudes of others influence you.<br /><br />Don't fall into the "perfection paralysis" syndrome. You cannot be perfect all the time. Instead, do your best and move on to the next task at hand. Before you realize it, you will become a network marketing success that others will strive to emulate.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Lana Hampton builds her network marketing business online quickly and easily. </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-73736618219402986052009-02-09T05:08:00.000-08:002009-02-09T05:26:57.713-08:00Blog expert says : Top 10 Places to Find the Most Popular Blogs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDwz9s3PG1UEXOkjLqNp0CyJU1JjCwzYMQmB9dcRQPr5r3Y6Q1XblFK-L32hXAoZJGtNGXXarCPSMxhUM1rmTPJPHBrGvfsgh-pk8nDTqA_xc8jNT6HJCAUHKYiwdBraAEFFrUqeKuI27S/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 162px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDwz9s3PG1UEXOkjLqNp0CyJU1JjCwzYMQmB9dcRQPr5r3Y6Q1XblFK-L32hXAoZJGtNGXXarCPSMxhUM1rmTPJPHBrGvfsgh-pk8nDTqA_xc8jNT6HJCAUHKYiwdBraAEFFrUqeKuI27S/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300788341556121042" border="0" /></a>The easiest way to get acquainted with the conventions of the blog format is to start reading them. The more blogs you read, the more you'll get a feel for the depth and breadth of style and subject matter they have to offer.<br /><br />Here are a few sources:<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Blog Monitors</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Blogdex (http://blogdex.com/)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Daypop (http://daypop.com/)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Technorati (http://technorati.com/)</span><br /><br />These three sites monitor millions of blogs every minute of every day, searching for the top key words being mentioned in blog posts or in the most popular links and sites. It's like being in a huge convention hall eavesdropping on billions of conversations at the same time. This is a fantastic way to do market research and to see what everybody is buzzing about. The collective 'hive' of blogs is often called the blogosphere. Often, links and news bubble up in the blogosphere first, even before they reach your evening television news program.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Blog Search Engines and Directories</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Blogarama (http://blogarama.com/)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Globe of Blogs (http://globeofblogs.com/)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- The Open Directory (http://dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/On_the_Web/Weblogs/)</span><br /><br />Just like web sites, there are also directories and search engines devoted to cataloging the ever-growing global network of blogs. Try searching by topic or geographic location.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Search Engines</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Google (http://google.com/)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- Yahoo! (http://yahoo.com/)</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">- A9 (http://a9.com/)</span><br /><br />As usual, Google and friends to the rescue! These are the more traditional and widely known search engines. Type in some topic and the word 'blogs' and see what results come up. The more specific keywords, the more likely you are to find bloggers talking about what you're interested in.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Blogrolls</span><br /><br />And number ten is the blogroll. Most blogs have a blogroll, which is a list of a blogger's favorite blogs and websites. If you find a blog you like, try checking out the other sites that the blogger likes. You might find other valuable sites and blogs to read. The more your read blogs, the more you'll catch the nuances and conventions that have made them the fastest, easiest, cheapest way to publish online.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About Andy: Andy Wibbels is a blogging evangelist and creator of the Easy Bake Weblogs seminar that has helped hundreds of small businesses all over the world leverage blogs and RSS news feeds to increase profits and save time. </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-74418298638049361622009-02-07T01:46:00.000-08:002009-02-07T02:05:11.333-08:00Googling expert says : Google Patent Application - Highlights<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijADjKC47QqzJFKBMHGrfqjw-yrF3dkskA5iijHBvRaGHzjv2b-bClPb81YDQaK0xHWAqVSkTG9-HdRp0Owz-C34UvZbMwc06JAvtTP6QtLpkJUzai4uTGunGHe7k5JC1ETkcKm0raMDfG/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 154px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijADjKC47QqzJFKBMHGrfqjw-yrF3dkskA5iijHBvRaGHzjv2b-bClPb81YDQaK0xHWAqVSkTG9-HdRp0Owz-C34UvZbMwc06JAvtTP6QtLpkJUzai4uTGunGHe7k5JC1ETkcKm0raMDfG/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299993861524060498" border="0" /></a>The recent patent application filed by Google details<br />numerous items the search engine uses to rank web pages. The specific application is summarized as:<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />"A method for scoring a document, comprising: identifying a<br />document; obtaining one or more types of history data<br />associated with the document; and generating a score for the<br />document based on the one or more types of history data."<br /><br />The patent application sheds significant light for those<br />pursuing search engine optimization with Google. Patent<br />applications can be difficult to understand, so following<br />are highlights that you should consider for your SEO<br />efforts.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Update Your Site</span><br /><br />Updating your site is important when it comes to maximizing<br />your rankings on Google. In addition to the manipulation of<br />keyword density and meta tags, the patent application<br />reveals that Google places significant value on how often<br />your content is updated. The more often you update, the<br />timely and relevant your site will appear to Google. In<br />turn, this leads to higher rankings.<br /><br />To appease mighty Google, consider the following plan of<br />action:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">1. Update pages frequently,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">2. Add new pages to your site,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">3. Interlink the new pages with others on your site, and</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">4. Add new pages on a weekly basis instead of all at once.</span><br /><br />When Google returns to the site, you want to make sure that<br />there is new content. The high rankings of blog sites are<br />evidence of this approach.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Google s Looking at Your Domain</span><br /><br />In a new twist, Google claims that it analyzes the number of<br />years of domain registration as part of the ranking process.<br />The application suggests that domains that are registered<br />for longer periods of time are given more value because such<br />a commitment shows the site is not a fly-by-night jump page.<br />It is recommended that you extend all domain registrations<br />for as long as possible as part of your search engine<br />optimization efforts. It is difficult to tell how much the<br />registration process impacts the ranking process, but every<br />little bit helps.<br /><br />Google claims that it also digs deeper into domain names to<br />evaluate the legitimacy of the site. Factors in the<br />evaluation include the web host and the who is<br />information.

As when I was young I would watch Wild Kingdom every Sunday night, sure enough there it was a big strong fast Cat would be chasing down and eating some young antelope.<br /><br />As a social worker I work with clients with addiction problems and have noticed they display a similar trait as the cats. Once a person gets in recovery for just a short while they tend to be the least tolerant of the new people struggling to get into recovery. In the market of Home Business I have noticed a similar occurrence with the people that have struggled and found they way to having a profitable Home Business.<br /><br />When I was hunting for a legitimate home business to start up, (which is no small task) I found what appeared to be a real business. The definition of a real business is a business that does not make any claim to be fool proof takes real effort, takes at least six months to start making any profit, and one that requires an investment of my own money.<br /><br />Now when you read that definition you may feel confused, however if you stop and think about what has made anything you have ever done successful and real it would include all of the above criteria. Now back to eating our young, just how does this pertain to people in the home business? When I was starting out I knew very little about the home business and nothing at all about how to be a successful marketer in the Internet business on a meager budget.<br /><br />I thought if I want to know how to do these things then I need to ask the people that are already doing it and having some success. Seemed reasonable, however what I found was that most if not all of the people running a successful internet business from home where not only not open but more than glad to sell me all kinds of programs that were to be the root of all my success.<br /><br />Sadly what I found was that these people were making money off of me and not wanting to help me what so ever. I felt very frustrated with not being able to find anyone that was willing to share with me or help me repeat what they had been able to do in their home business. Yes they were eating their young.<br /><br />I finally happened across a group of people that thought like I did. This group believed to be successful them selves they had to pass along all they had been taught by others. This was it, I began to get real marketing ideas that cost very little and took a lot of work. I do not mind the work and the great thing is that with the help of successful work at home business owners I soon become successful in my home business.<br /><br />Of course the only way I can continue my success is to pass on what I have been taught and as long as I do that I will be successful. My success is your success and when you learn the method you pass it on to others. It all seems so simple and the idea is simple the work is hard and it is not free so if you are looking for this type of success, a real home business drop in and let me tell you how I did it.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Author: Joe Saddoris</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-1666922243451285702009-02-04T19:03:00.000-08:002009-02-04T19:16:56.992-08:00Computer expert says : Is Spyware Slowing Your Computer Down To A Crawl?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggB-J8Fj_piC4AIt5mR2GwKg9JqTfuQbmySE51XL4raNdE_0AEQMPvpL0kWDIBJDbBdbnWgoc6-K9MXXJ2OUoZMjYVXY14NqzhqUw3hSGPeRC28xTxtWzSoc8Xxq4nk8bPCiDQ_XsXZk9p/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggB-J8Fj_piC4AIt5mR2GwKg9JqTfuQbmySE51XL4raNdE_0AEQMPvpL0kWDIBJDbBdbnWgoc6-K9MXXJ2OUoZMjYVXY14NqzhqUw3hSGPeRC28xTxtWzSoc8Xxq4nk8bPCiDQ_XsXZk9p/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299146873303948258" border="0" /></a>Everyday more and more computers are becoming infected with Spyware and Adware (advertising tracking). No matter where you go on the web, someone is trying to sneak something on your computer. From honest web sites placing simple logon cookies, to paid advertising tracking your movements on the web, to malicious software that is designed to record your keystrokes and discover your passwords, Spyware and Adware have together become the web’s number one problem.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />Many of these programs are down right dangerous and seriously threaten your online privacy and identity. But even the simple and supposedly benign Adware programs can cause you serious problems.<br /><br />Spyware is any program that installs itself onto your computer with the intent to spy on your activity. This can be recording your online searching habits, or whatever you type on your keyboard. Adware is not much better. It is designed to watch what you do online, where you go, which terms you search for and then report this to the ad agency that runs the adware program.<br /><br />Adware programs may be designed with the best intentions in mind, but even these can cause your computer serious problems.<br /><br />Here is what happens. Many, if not most, advertisers on the internet will try and place a cookie or other small program on your computer. Many will add code that will track that cookie as it hits different pages. The code may be designed simply to gather anonymous data, or it may be trying to send ads to your browser that the advertising company thinks you will be more likely to respond to.<br /><br />Whatever the case, the Adware or Spyware is using your computer to do its tracking. This means that part of your computer’s power and CPU cycles are being diverted away from the activity you are trying to perform. Your computer is being used by someone else instead to track your movements. Now, when we multiply this behavior by tens or hundreds of Adware or Spyware programs all trying to use your computer for their work you can begin to see the problem.<br /><br />These programs can literally slow your computer down to a crawl, or make it crash altogether. They can fill your computer up with trash files, open unwanted popup windows, use up the space in your internet cache and generally just make working on your computer a nightmare.<br /><br />Luckily there are several easy solutions to the problem. But first let me make one distinction, Spyware and Adware are not the same thing as a computer virus. Although a computer virus can install spyware on a computer, you will need different tools to remove a computer virus and to keep your system clean from Spyware and Adware. You should be using both a high quality commercial anti-virus program and one or more good quality programs for handling the spyware/adware problem.<br /><br />There are several good Spyware/adware programs on the market. I use two different programs on my network, Ad-aware from Lavasoft and Spy Sweeper from Webroot Software although there are several others. You can easily find both of these by doing an internet search for Ad-aware and Spy Sweeper. Or simply do a search for spyware. Both of these programs will scan your hard drives and registry and present you with a list of spyware/adware programs hiding on your system. You can then quarantine or remove the offending programs. I use both of these programs since neither one seems to catch everything. Plus I will run them 2 or more times in a row, the nastier spyware will not be completely removed on the first pass.<br /><br />The process is very easy and I recommend running these programs at least once a week and every time you have been doing some extended web surfing. You will be surprised at how many of these spyware/adware programs will sneak onto your system. I run a very clean network and I have yet to scan my system and not come up with at least a few of these hiding on my hard drive.<br /><br />So be aware of the problem, take reasonable precautions, scan your system frequently, and the spyware/adware curse can be broken.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" id="fullpost"></span><br /><span id="fullpost"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">George Peirson is a successful Entrepreneur, Internet Trainer and author of over 30 multimedia based tutorial training titles. </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-78149422296972212752009-02-03T01:29:00.000-08:002009-02-03T01:35:10.528-08:00Marketing expert says : Is Telemarketing Effective?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtst1FXAN-F5Z431fXMUu9GV2NIrLL6R5uP2UVNejwFAjyUUQRbO6ZtG0yK2agpWbO4qHdKiRZkuQAcqutDDflrlZBG4euRO473qvkvlVralTgza9fJ1wqbisz9xdKD068PpLpcQ7r1R0/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 148px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQtst1FXAN-F5Z431fXMUu9GV2NIrLL6R5uP2UVNejwFAjyUUQRbO6ZtG0yK2agpWbO4qHdKiRZkuQAcqutDDflrlZBG4euRO473qvkvlVralTgza9fJ1wqbisz9xdKD068PpLpcQ7r1R0/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298502005188957810" border="0" /></a>Telemarketing is one of the most controversial elements of advertising and sales that has ever been. With a turn towards avoiding this means of marketing, business are looking elsewhere. But, can an effectively run telemarketing campaign still pay off? Is your business the right type to take on the telemarketing world? There is little doubt that telemarketing has been successful, but with so many worries about legal action, it is necessary to do several things to ensure your telemarketing campaign is successful.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />For example, with many new laws in place regulating the use of telemarketing to specific time frames as well as to only individuals who have not said they do not want to be called, it is necessary to insure that the company that is used to market is of the most highest of standards. If you consider your business not at risk, think again. The image alone that the customer has when they are ‘bothered” is not one you will want to tarnish your business’s name. But, with the use of regulated services that really do pay attention to detail, you can benefit from telemarketing.<br /><br />Telemarketing is necessary to many businesses. It can be done quite successfully. If you are considering the use of telemarketing to promote your service or company, insure that you use a company that screens employees, hires and trains employees effectively and that has a successful rating. With these things kept in mind, just about any need that you have in telemarketing can be fulfilled successfully.<br /><br />There are also many information portals now devoted to the subject and we recommend reading about it at one of these. Try googling for “telemarketing” and you will be surprised by the abundance of information on the subject. Alternatively you may try looking on Yahoo, MSN or even a decent directory site, all are good sources of this information.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Author : Matthew Noel</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-19789400101320733712009-02-02T01:56:00.000-08:002009-02-02T01:59:06.476-08:00Web expert says : Choosing A Web Designer: A Plan To Guide You Through The Minefield<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXVzTGI_QXTZ1QlXdLyFJ-EN_J9rFlmO21JpGaClVygkOaiAUCgMwi_xhsQAMXVwMIv9mI-CvYVjhIWyQ4BLdhbiRKx2tQX7Oggx3NHcVlVcfixGmKh28FPN9y54vUs1ujg9_KOA0GapWk/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXVzTGI_QXTZ1QlXdLyFJ-EN_J9rFlmO21JpGaClVygkOaiAUCgMwi_xhsQAMXVwMIv9mI-CvYVjhIWyQ4BLdhbiRKx2tQX7Oggx3NHcVlVcfixGmKh28FPN9y54vUs1ujg9_KOA0GapWk/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5298137179673975442" border="0" /></a>Choosing a web designer can seem like a daunting task. They come in all shapes and sizes – from freelancers working at home to glossy new media agencies, and there is as much variation in prices and service as there is in size.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">So how do you choose the right one for your business?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Select Your Marketplace</span><br /><br />Firstly, decide what market your would like to select from: local , national or overseas.<br /><br />If you would feel more comfortable meeting your designer, and running through your project face to face (maybe it’s the kind of project that needs to “evolve”) ,and your ethos is “quality of service” rather than “Pile ‘em high, sell ‘em cheap” then a local web designer is for you. They can usually provide better back up, and be able to meet face to face to discuss your project and iron out any problems should they occur.<br /><br />If you are a bit more budget conscious, then it makes sense to select from a “wider pool”. Getting quotes from designers across your country will usually obtain a more competitive quote. What you lose in face-to-face service is made up for in cost savings, and all but the largest web projects can usually be sorted out via telephone and email these days.<br /><br />For the extremely cost conscious and value for money orientated (some would even say “brave”!) there is the overseas market. If you know exactly what you are looking for and can explain your project thoroughly and clearly in writing, then there are huge savings to be made. But what you save in price is invariably countered by having to do a little more work on your side – particularly when it comes to communication!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Finding Web Designers</span><br /><br />To find a list of local web designers consult your Yellow Pages (or equivalent) or do a web search for “web designer “ “your area”. Looking further a field, you can do a web search or check out directories such as www.recommended-web-designers.co.uk . For overseas designers, go to web sites such as www.elance.com or www.rentacoder.com, the latter offering the benefit of escrow and arbitration services.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Draw up a shortlist</span><br /><br />Draw up a shortlist of 3 or 4 designers to speak to. You can do this by visiting their websites, getting a feel for the type and size of business they are and looking at their online portfolio. Then call them – ask them questions about the type of clients they work for, timeframes and any other technical questions you have. Get a feel for how they communicate – whether they are on the same wavelength as you.<br /><br />If you opted to go overseas, the websites already mentioned have ratings systems which can help you decide, and you can also send and receive private messages to ask questions.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Get Quotes</span><br /><br />Once you have your shortlist, you can get quotes. For a straightforward website this can be a simple fixed price – for a more complicated project that is likely to evolve, you may just want to get a budget price at this stage, and then pin down details and a fixed price with your preferred bidder later. Always specify your expected timeframe for completion when obtaining quotes as this can affect prices.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Get References</span><br /><br />Once you have your preferred bidder, get references. Any established web designer will be able to provide details of satisfied clients. Email them and ask if they were happy with the service received, if the job was completed on time, how unforeseen problems were dealt with etc.<br /><br />Remember to trust your instincts: If you are not entirely happy with the references you obtain, walk away and select another designer.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Appoint your web designer</span><br /><br />You now have a fixed price, references, and confirmed timescale for your project. Now appoint your designer!<br /><br />Most have standard agreements –read them carefully, and if in doubt get your legal adviser to look them over. Make sure timescales and project milestones are specified, as well as payment terms. Find out how alterations to your project are dealt with – in terms of cost and delays – and how disputes if they arise would be settled.<br /><br />Finally, when you are completely happy, sign on the dotted line and look forward to a productive working relationship with your web designer!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Robin Porter has been CEO of of London based web designer Arpey Internet.</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-74152522456457271912009-01-30T23:56:00.000-08:002009-01-31T00:11:10.084-08:00Blog expert says : The Future Of Next Generation Weblogs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAf3eKaaR8ttNAgb5JBTrngMDbo-Cr5Kw13wRs5bkCsV9gxYch0SUdfq22u8WCRkwc1bsBcrgCJiuzsFbA5Rr8y1LecJ_8ipJQ25IyDS6bllwGSChTXA0So8sImBY8sj50-iz8c4wxBbF_/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAf3eKaaR8ttNAgb5JBTrngMDbo-Cr5Kw13wRs5bkCsV9gxYch0SUdfq22u8WCRkwc1bsBcrgCJiuzsFbA5Rr8y1LecJ_8ipJQ25IyDS6bllwGSChTXA0So8sImBY8sj50-iz8c4wxBbF_/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297365525203340978" border="0" /></a>In the earlier days having a blog was an instant hit. People who embraced writing web logs from the beginning, did get a lot of extra exposure. Now the mass is jumping on a train which already left the station some time ago.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">The success of the first blogs explained</span><br /><br />The first blogs on the web were non commercial and that was the first ingredient for their success. Second, web logs are quality content and can be made really easy. As we all know search engines like Google really love good content. The first blogs could be on top of search results in mayor search engines like Google in a matter of days, where other (big) websites struggled to get the same result in years. This could happen because web logs contain loads of text which is related to quality content. Other traditional websites tweaked their sites with tricks that did not compete with the awesome power of blogs: honest quality content.<br /><br />These days loads of people have their own blog and I must say 90% is not even worth reading. Because the amount of people having a blog is exploding, search engines which finally were able to find some good content related websites, now have to struggle with the millions of blogs with absolutely no good content at all. Many blogs are not updated on a regular basis, they are often made to sell products or used for marketing the thousands “get rich quick schemes” around on the internet. They really lack the power a good blog can have.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Next generation blogs</span><br /><br />But there are really good blogs around and web logs will definitely stay around for a while. Beside that there is a new generation blogs on their way. Blog techniques are changing fast, many people start to put photos and pictures on their blogs. This caused a very interesting phenomenon. The first pictures of the London bombings where spread by blogs so fast, that they did beat the big television networks and news agencies. People actually submitted their pictures made from the scene with their mobile phones on their blogs. Other blogs picked up the news with the photo material in minutes and spread them around with lighting speed. I think this is the evidence that blog are really powerful things and earned their place on the internet. With the implementation of video on blogs their importance and popularity is even growing. This makes us consumers of news and multimedia much more independent from big commercial TV and news agencies. Those guys have other interests to consider then provide us with objective news, quality TV and radio programs.These advertisers and investors want everything to be a commercial success, rather then not so commercial quality content.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">If you want to start your blog then here are some tips.</span><br /><br />These days you can’t make any money from having a blog. You are way too late to do that at this stage. Use web logs for their own purpose e.g. provide quality content. This is the only way to attract people to you web log.<br /><br />Pick a quality blog hosting provider on the internet where to host your blog. There are free providers like blogger.com and Bloxster.net, both of them are free and provide features for your blog you really need. There is no reason why you should go for a paid service. The bigger the blog community not always means this is the best choice, because the servers of these providers often can’t handle the hughe amount of traffic and need to be shut down for maintenance very often. So bloxster.net would be a good pick<br /><br />Post pictures with your articles to enhance your blog. If you have a startup band or you want to be the new rising pop star on the block, place a link to your demo (make one in mp3 format), and place it on your blog. This is called pod casting. While traveling submit travel stories and photo’s to inform people at home or fellow travelers about your adventures. You can even stream video on you blog!<br /><br />Most important write and provide quality content and update your weblog on a regular basis. Also take the time to promote your blog and rss feed to web blog directories because the competition of other blogs is fierce!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About The Author</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Bolger Redet is webmaster at http://www.bloxster.net a free quality weblog hosting service</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-67481497415987720852009-01-30T01:56:00.000-08:002009-01-30T02:01:30.915-08:00Googling expert says : Chris Carpenter's Google Cash - An Ebook Review<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1F5YWsH-evp3dAIIi7nMh3pK0-1ArGj_xGTMA3WKBHuO-avZt-6Ait9zA8z_2E0isYc5SuK7nBcFvMrjK24VtEM97TIRH8rHi4c73HEzZbYwFjpitZInHDZjGHtKD9_y9cL4HRRdJvjzs/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1F5YWsH-evp3dAIIi7nMh3pK0-1ArGj_xGTMA3WKBHuO-avZt-6Ait9zA8z_2E0isYc5SuK7nBcFvMrjK24VtEM97TIRH8rHi4c73HEzZbYwFjpitZInHDZjGHtKD9_y9cL4HRRdJvjzs/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297024652368438850" border="0" /></a>It is rare to find a brand new blueprint for making cash on the internet.

And you can target the world or Little Rock Arkansas with that ad thanks to the awesome interface and techno-wizardry of Google Adwords. What used to take 3 months in the "old days" of marketing back in the nineties takes 3 hours today!<br /><br />Chris Carpenter lays out a step-by-step blueprint for generating extra income on the web using Google Adwords. He pulls back the curtain and reveals his own successful campaigns and even some of his stumbles in this marketing arena. He demystifies the mathematics and explains the entire process at a Grade 10 comprehension level.<br /><br />If I had a teenage son or daughter, I would get them to stop working at McDonalds and get them investing their free time in building an online auction business. I used to hate cleaning the garage. Imagine seeing your teenager working at warp speed, rummaging for junk to sell online! It's possible thanks to Google Cash.<br /><br />Can anything and everything be sold online through Google Adwords? Frankly, the astounding answer is yes! If a human wants it, you can put it in front of them. The Google Adwords interface is the single most powerful direct-response medium currently on the planet. With 300 million daily searches, with a little bit of imagination and creativity you can find a target niche for your product.<br /><br />Think of Google Cash as a starting point rather than a be-all-end-all solution. For the price, it delivers great value. But you have to take action with this guide. Even though it lays out the step-by-step path to follow, you'll still have to invest the hours building your keyword campaigns and creating your Google projects. Even though there is real brain work involved, the potential rewards of developing your own online cash machine with Google outweighs the short term sweat equity. I think you'll enjoy Google Cash.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">David Ledoux is an online entrepreneur, freelance writer and author.</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-57619681203064862832009-01-29T02:13:00.000-08:002009-01-29T02:15:57.113-08:00Marketing expert says : Network Marketing Internet Business Basics<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgqotxo31irqpBGgtiHxX0br86_IuFgKhg0EjrK2lcfYhxxN9iZFRMbHzMTCEeSzrzabfu3kGcF-hpDxsoBk9oNkxNKtHqsf1R2_PPhVmCpttrexWfj87pWwYxOPMC3p94Gb3wd-02ki-/s1600-h/00000.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 199px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsgqotxo31irqpBGgtiHxX0br86_IuFgKhg0EjrK2lcfYhxxN9iZFRMbHzMTCEeSzrzabfu3kGcF-hpDxsoBk9oNkxNKtHqsf1R2_PPhVmCpttrexWfj87pWwYxOPMC3p94Gb3wd-02ki-/s200/00000.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296657233122630098" border="0" /></a>A network marketing Internet business is what millions of ordinary people are making extraordinary money from. You can too, but only if you put your mind to it. Come to think of it, a network marketing Internet business is no different from any other online business. The fundamentals are the same. What changes are the parameters. So what's keeping you from running your own successful network marketing Internet business? Nothing! Just find a legit core opportunity and get going.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />Going by definitions, a network marketing Internet business program, also known as "network" or "matrix" marketing, is a way of selling goods or services online through distributors. These programs typically promise that if you sign up as a distributor, you will receive commissions – for both your sales of the program's goods or services and those of other people you recruit to join the distributors. Network marketing Internet business programs usually promise to pay commissions through two or more levels of recruits, known as the distributor's "downline."<br /><br />Technology is rapidly changing the corporate world today, and network marketing businesses are no exception. Many network marketing Internet business companies make use of their web presence to enhance and accelerate the growth potential of their distributors.<br /><br />Overwhelmed by the details of your new network marketing Internet business? Still struggling with them? Today there are so many companies, so many products, so much information and so many opportunities, it's easy to get lost in the maze. Don't panic. Just take them step by step.<br /><br />The first, and most important thing, is picking the right company with the right product and the right system that suits your personal style, interest and skills. Take the time to understand and manage your sales tools, marketing systems and compensation plans. The next step is getting ready for all the hard work and sheer perseverence. Accept that you are not going to get rich overnight. No one does. Growing your network marketing Internet business knowledge and earning that subsequent success is a lifelong process.<br /><br />Choose a product that you feel good about, and select one or two methods from your sales training manual. Utilize the power of the Internet. You can build distributor networks on a national or even a global level right from your home computer. Now isn't that quite something?<br /><br />Make it a point to keep the plan as simple as possible but no simpler. In other words, don't be unprepared, but don't also do too much. Just keep on working consistently and stay committed to your goal. Take it one step at a time and you'll get there.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Lana Hampton builds her network marketing business online quickly and easily.

Though you can earn from affiliate marketing even without the benefit of having your own website, it is still a much better option that you get one. A website is the anchor of your work at home business. It will be easier to promote your business and products or affiliate products if you have your own pages in cyber space.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />We have previously discussed the basics of creating your own website and optimizing the same for the search engines.<br /><br />In this article, we’re going to tackle some initial steps you should take in securing an enrollment to an affiliate program and in ensuring that it will be a profitable enterprise. Study these steps carefully.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">* Choose the right affiliate program as covered in last weeks article.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">* Enroll for the said program. Keep in mind that before you can be a part of this work at home business, you must first opt-in, or verify your application, through your email.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">* Once enrolled, you will be given access to a website where you must log in. Do not forget your login details.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">* You will see the list of the affiliate merchant’s products inside. You will be given the option to choose a product for which a campaign will be launched. Once a product is chosen, you will be furnished an affiliate link. Do not lose this affiliate link!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">With your affiliate link at hand, it’s time to move to the next level!</span><br /><br />Your affiliate link is what will tell the affiliate program’s system that a purchaser was referred by you. Your pre-sells that end up becoming successful sales are actually coursed through your affiliate links, thus informing the affiliate program that commissions are due to you.<br /><br />It is quite evident then that affiliate marketing as a work at home business is all about persuading a potential customer to at least check out the affiliate merchant’s products through your affiliate link. The reason why affiliate marketing is called, well, marketing is because you need some promotional strategies to induce a person to become a purchaser.<br /><br />We will discuss these marketing strategies in the next article.<br /><br />The success of an enrollment with an affiliate program as a work at home business depends on the amount of commitment and effort you invest in the same. Being an affiliate, you must remember, is an online job, but a job nonetheless. You cannot just sit down and let this home business earn for you, at least, not initially.<br /><br />Eventually however, you should be able to automate most of the process by installing some tools for a self-sufficient system of your own. We will cover this thoroughly in subsequent articles.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mal Keenan can show you step-by step how to set up and run a successful online home business. </span><br /><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-48540894789705996832009-01-27T01:16:00.000-08:002009-01-27T01:25:27.916-08:00Googling expert says : The Work From Home Internet Business Is booming On The Net<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiElrUl7-UgX_8SjH9xm-t3m-9eiOLYcf-EaWLpL-DOSyYMv4_gLeSioUysz-TQuALNTIHc1slfTDDxcXv1EUL1LmcFgiSbgkPpBGRaGV01UY_p8YSPEZ3aZeqcfa5Y4k1Xauw1wqE5NL5q/s1600-h/business-home.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiElrUl7-UgX_8SjH9xm-t3m-9eiOLYcf-EaWLpL-DOSyYMv4_gLeSioUysz-TQuALNTIHc1slfTDDxcXv1EUL1LmcFgiSbgkPpBGRaGV01UY_p8YSPEZ3aZeqcfa5Y4k1Xauw1wqE5NL5q/s200/business-home.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295902083834988370" border="0" /></a>The work from home revolution on the Internet is in full swing. There has never been a better time or opportunity to make money online working at home in front of your computer. The number of money making opportunities is endless.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />With today’s technology it is quite possible to run your entire business online from anywhere in the world using your laptop computer. You no longer need to leave your house to make a living for your family. It can be done from the comfort of your own home. No commute required. No travel time with reduced fuel consumption and maintenance on your vehicles. Best of all you are your own boss.<br /><br />The amount of people using the internet worldwide continues to increase almost monthly. This bodes well for internet business entrepreneurs and anyone wishing to take advantage of the internet work from home business industry. Global Internet Statistics shows over 800 million people worldwide are now using the internet.<br /><br />Just do a search for internet business opportunities on Google or your favorite search engine. You’ll find websites such as http://www.kawarthapublishing.com & http://www.bigmoolla.com promoting several top Internet home based business products and services from paid surveys online to network marketing and MLM businesses. If you already have your own website you can even sign up with Google ad sense and make money displaying Google ad words ads on your site. In fact everywhere you look on the net almost every single site you go to is making money from some form of advertising or work from home business opportunity.<br /><br />The internet is forever changing the global job scene and the world economy with new internet opportunities arriving on the internet every day even as you read this. We can only hope that this will make the world cleaner and a better place to live with less pollution from automobiles and reduced pollution from factories. This in turn could create a backlash on the economy but it has yet to be seen. We all know the reasons behind why we are still using oil and gas rather than clean energy. (It would kill the global economy). Internet business could be just as threatening as electric cars and cars running on fuel cells.<br /><br />We are indeed in a revolution. The last revolution was called the industrial revolution. This one is called the information revolution. Or what I like to think of it, the work from home revolution.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Tom Worsley is a successful work from home Internet marketer and independent representative for Strong Future International (SFI)</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-24274814647145531382009-01-22T20:32:00.000-08:002009-01-22T20:38:50.151-08:00Computer expert says : Computer Network Installation<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtyig_MLPznjZx1UMG22tTdru4teR2wMuzpsuWPM4cqfdED2ElQH5DUasOaDx4us_Etm9lTtg8JXfSB8WMWd-edS2wKokBfbCWSb6CkuxqusUbZlR4jWUuSzKdc7kK2wWCJBwh1C00HSO7/s1600-h/ComputerNetwork.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtyig_MLPznjZx1UMG22tTdru4teR2wMuzpsuWPM4cqfdED2ElQH5DUasOaDx4us_Etm9lTtg8JXfSB8WMWd-edS2wKokBfbCWSb6CkuxqusUbZlR4jWUuSzKdc7kK2wWCJBwh1C00HSO7/s200/ComputerNetwork.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294343808111047650" border="0" /></a>Has become an essential prerequisite for any efficient modern-day business as it allows employees to truly work as a team by sharing information, accessing the same database and staying in touch constantly. For a computer network to give the best results, a lot of detailed planning and foresight is required before installation.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />Firstly, an organisation needs to clearly define its requirements – how many people would use the network, how many would use it locally (within the office) and how many might require remote access (from a different location), how many computers and other devices (servers, printers, scanners) would be connected to the network, what are the needs of the various departments and who would be in charge of running/managing the network. It also helps if one can anticipate the direction the company would take in the near future so potential growth can be factored in during computer network installation.<br /><br />The technology issues should also be ironed out in advance – hardware, software, servers, switches, back-up devices, cables and network operating systems. Make sure you have the required licenses to run the software on all your machines before installing a computer network. Alongside computer network installation should proceed the building of a dedicated technical support staff, either within your own organisation or outside consultants. Delegate responsibility clearly for network management. Before installing the network, you also need to choose the security mechanism to protect corporate data and keep viruses at bay.<br /><br />The transition to a new or upgraded computer network can bring some teething problems. To minimise chances of confusion, the company might need to train its staff to make them familiar with the new system. Careful planning will to a large extent prevent crises like system downtime and network crashes.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Author: Adrian Griffiths </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-10057055127283476942009-01-21T20:15:00.000-08:002009-01-21T20:28:27.437-08:00Web expert says : Disappointing Designs<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogyHWMAGJTkPFNtnEGZtYvLhUMrl8ZOYSc-UNf_RfJOic5P_qceTWYAuDvMUdwz5XJSZqkj2hQAzoDce3BcABRtzAEnLnvG_JiVs_mrg0UwRM5v5TkcJ8UplTlOV8axyeY9RP8Er-bdgh/s1600-h/bad_day.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 160px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiogyHWMAGJTkPFNtnEGZtYvLhUMrl8ZOYSc-UNf_RfJOic5P_qceTWYAuDvMUdwz5XJSZqkj2hQAzoDce3BcABRtzAEnLnvG_JiVs_mrg0UwRM5v5TkcJ8UplTlOV8axyeY9RP8Er-bdgh/s200/bad_day.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293969986338053906" border="0" /></a>Fred Showker catches a line from a Pete Seeger classic, “Where have all the flowers gone?” His flowers are the web designers that he thinks are going extinct. He laments on the seeming “decay” in the art of web designing and says gone are the designers who made a difference in the making of web designs and who provided quality sites for the people to visit.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />Showker argues that he has seen a decline in the quality of web sites basing from reviews he made of several sites. From his statements, I can see that he is well-versed in making analyses of web sites and is a credible source of information. Many sites came under his meticulous scrutiny and not one was spared.<br /><br />Some of the sites that he revisited were dead and others that are still up failed to meet the expected standards. The changes he saw came as a shock since he did not expect many of them to go down the drain.<br /><br />Riddler.com was one site that Showker said proved to be a disappointment as it took out of consideration the reading pleasure of the reader and instead took on a much commercialized look. Webshaker.com is similar as well.<br /><br />Ben & Jerry’s ice cream was another site that was axe by Showker. Indeed, I was surprise to see a content in the site about the Black History month with Martin Luther King Jr.’s picture in it. I have to agree with Fred on this one as I see no relevance of the content in promoting B&J’s ice cream. Perhaps there is an underlying purpose for that but I honestly don’t see its bearing here.<br /><br />Of course there are web sites that met Showker’s scrutiny like Hallmark, Camobell Soups and Smuckers. These sites provided a good site for browsing and had a good visual offering for the visitor.<br /><br />Fred Showker’s main thesis in his review is the importance of the reader as an element in the creation of web sites. The site must be tailor-made for the reader for it to reap the fullest benefits. The content must be of relevance to the reader and not just provide a stiff approach to giving out information.<br /><br />He further adds that a site may come up short on the design aspect but it still should follow this basic concept, "The reader is the most important element in the equation." Style gives way to message, and content is STILL king.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Author: Paul Hood</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-88428770399256462082009-01-20T23:20:00.000-08:002009-01-20T23:45:35.671-08:00Blog expert says : A Person Is Known By the Blog He Keeps<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJzc8peUZAaxi0lTiLfbnWtrArBiPiEScm3AzOP4gIqIdNGepwpATP-YeXARWkD2EyQNQMWT1q2KHXMJAggKUnRwMZ7muQimeC74ycB-mP34w1_QDi6vxWR_HQ2OeAKCR5PvcEDw5_WqsA/s1600-h/rampok.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 177px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJzc8peUZAaxi0lTiLfbnWtrArBiPiEScm3AzOP4gIqIdNGepwpATP-YeXARWkD2EyQNQMWT1q2KHXMJAggKUnRwMZ7muQimeC74ycB-mP34w1_QDi6vxWR_HQ2OeAKCR5PvcEDw5_WqsA/s200/rampok.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293649429699205762" border="0" /></a>Literature is the soul of the wit. The best source of literature can be now found in blogs. The growing trend of ‘blogmania’ is slowly sweeping the netizens. Every person aspires to have a blog as a platform to publish his thoughts and be heard and read.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />General surveys undertaken on blogs and bloggers shows a rising trend in blogging. A parallel platform for literary endeavor, the blogs are overthrowing the traditional journalistic norms. Publishing of news and views no longer remains the privilege of an elite minority. Anybody and everybody is free to get in touch and explore the writer within himself. The anamorphic nature of the human soul is best reflected in the blogs.<br />http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/2005_20_03_alphablog_archive.html<br /><br />A survey in the United States brought out a startling fact the 30% of the surveyed people read blogs. Also, 52% of the surveyed people advocate equal journalistic rights and freedom for the blogs. And the most striking fact is that 31% of the surveyed people revealed that they found blogs to be more credible than the newspapers.<br /><br />The growing popularity of blogs can be gauzed from the fact that Yahoo, Google, MSN, Rediff and all the other bigwigs of the cyber world are experimenting with blogs and bloggers. Both free and paid blog hoisting sites have come up which offers a plethora of tools to make blogging a breeze.<br /><br />MSN has even gone to the extent of making a common 'passport' database across all its services. So now, a MSN user can use his own personal 'id' across MSN messenger, Spaces and hotmail. Also, MSN has integrated its Spaces with MSN Messenger 7.0. The users of MSN Messenger 7.0 will have a tab labeled 'gleams' which will inform them when their contacts have updated their individual blogs.<br /><br />Recent statistics from MSN shows that MSN has 170,000 daily blog updates. This number is huge considering the fact that most of the bloggers do not update their blogs on a daily basis.<br /><br />The Literature of the new era is no longer limited to books. From Poems to Features, from Humor to Short Stories, everything can be found in the blogs.<br />http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/2005_27_03_alphablog_archive.html<br />http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/2005_03_04_alphablog_archive.html<br /><br />Though good blogs are a trifle to find, yet close scrutiny will reveal every blog to be good in its own personal aspect. After all, blogs are a slice of the blogger's life and every one's life is a good source of learning experience.<br /><br />http://alphablog.rediffblogs.com/<br />This also opens up the teaching value of blogs. Blogs can be a mirror of life, culture and society. What can be a better teacher than one with a plethora of experiences to offer on a silver platter?<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the Author : </span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Abhishek Sarkar works as an Executive Content Developer and Analyst.

That's twice the predicted spend of traditional web services!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">So what is M-Commerce?</span><br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />It's very simple, mobile / cell phone based sales. Usually relating to content such as games, wallpaper, ringtones etc. But there's much more to it than that. Keep reading.<br /><br />What's the big deal?<br />More people own a mobile phone than a PC, they're better integrated in to daily life. People are very comfortable using them. They are now in fact heavily relied upon, as the phone feature is only a small part of what can be perceived as a miniature multi-purpose multi-capable portable computer.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Mobile Growth</span><br />Mobile growth already outstrips all other communication channels. Half of all Americans are mobile phone subscribers. In the UK the ownership of a mobile phone is equivalent to 1.5 phones per head of population. According to research, mobile content services will be worth $121 Billion worldwide by 2008. White label distribution of ringtones, images, games and other promotions will drive up to 1/5th of the revenue generated. It's estimated 1.5 Billion people worldwide own a mobile phone.<br /><br />With more and more technology add-ons to tempt the consumer these devices are now Cameras, MP3 players, game consoles, voice notepads, picture albums, diary organiser, PDF readers etc etc.<br /><br />In fact I'm writing this article on my PDA / Phone whilst sat in the sunshine in the garden. With two taps on the screen I can hook up to my home wireless network and check my emails, browse the net, update my Blog or edit and publish article submissions on one of my sites all via broadband.<br /><br />We are not that far away from always on Net connections. Once this arrives it will allow anyone to do this almost wherever they are. Certainly in the major cities around the world. When this happens there will be a third Internet boom as Joe public try's out the Net connection again that was always too shoddy to use in the past.<br /><br />And what will they want? Content! ringtones, wallpaper, games, MP3's etc<br /><br />But I'm getting ahead of myself. The real money isn't even going to be made via a Net sale. The real money will be made via SMS(Short Message Service), MMS(Multimedia Messaging System) and this ones a goldmine...Micro payments.<br /><br />Recent research has shown a doubling of worldwide revenue from streaming TV and sports bulletin subscriptions. 380 million people worldwide are expected to subscribe to similar services in 2005. Including TV show bulletins particularly from 'reality TV' shows, News bulletins or Soap updates.<br /><br />Big deal you're not a TV network how can you make some money out of this boom?<br />I'll go into that in a second but first I want to go back to those Micro payments I mentioned earlier. The real gold dust.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Micro Payment Profits</span><br />Micro payments have been around for a while here in the UK. A smaller land mass has allowed for a quicker rollout of mobile technologies here. Nationwide Network coverage is easier to achieve. I believe the first example in the US to take it mainstream was by the 'American Idol' show. Viewers voted for the acts on the show via their mobile phone. They where then charged a small premium for their vote on top of their networks regular SMS charge. Think of the millions of votes that the show attracted and the revenue generated.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">That's micro payments in action.</span><br /><br />The beauty of this is that people don't feel like they're spending money because they don't need to whip out their credit card, it's an easier payment method, usually involving a simple text to a small number and the payment is small. They also trust their mobile for making payments unlike an online transaction.<br /><br />Any payments made will appear on their next phone bill. People are already used to paying in this way, they're comfortable with it. Whether it's to vote for an act on a TV show, for a game download or to grab the latest ringtone.<br /><br />What have you got that you could take micro payments for?<br />You should be considering how you can utilise your current website network to tap into this market. Do you offer subscriptions? Is there a service you offer that you could convert to subscriptions.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">How Can You Make Some Money?</span><br />Here's a quick example. Your newsletter. Would your subscribers be willing to pay a small premium to have your newsletter delivered directly to their mobile? Wherever they are, without the need to be sat in front of a PC. Thus bypassing the SPAM filter problem and guaranteeing they receive your valuable content. You could sell it as valuable service for your customers with added content not available on your site or via your regular newsletter.<br /><br />Or offer them up to the minute breaking news in their industry, which they receive as it breaks and not when they check their email five hours later when it's to late to take action.<br /><br />Digital artists sell your wallpaper designs direct to the consumer via the mobile phone. New bands forget the record company contract sell your music via MP3's direct to the consumer. Investment advisors get subscribers to your 'Hot Tips' bulletins. Store owners offer a sale bulletin service etc etc<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">The Future</span><br />The omnipresent Google are moving forward with major mobile initiatives. Spending vast amounts of money to stake a claim in this fledgling market. There's the mobile version of Froogle for one and they've also developed mobile business listings specifically for the potentially huge 'local search' market. They also offer a free SMS based information service http://www.google.com/sms/ and http://www.google.co.uk/sms/<br /><br />Another major company Real Networks, creators of Real media Player, recently bought Finnish mobile phone game developers Mr Goodliving for $15M. Essentially buying a back catalogue of high profile mobile games.<br /><br />NTL a cable TV company here in the UK recently streamed the Grand National, the biggest race horse meet here in the UK, live to Nokia owning subscribers.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">This is early days and that's a small glimpse of the future.</span><br /><br />The M-Commerce Market is very different from the online market in terms of what content consumers are currently paying for. The biggest revenue generators online, 70%, are porn and dating sites. A similar percentage via mobile is for games, music and video. Films, that's another one, Nokia are now distributing Hollywood movies via memory card!<br /><br />The technology specifically 3G, an always on network with transfer rates of 384kbs a second, is here and trickling into mainstream culture. These devices are in fact capable of 1920kbs. Compare that to GPRS at 56kbs. You don't need these speeds to take advantage of this market but you should keep them in mind to realise the full potential of where mobile communication is going.<br /><br />Here's a brief, eye opening, wish list from consumers for future mobile phone payment abilities:-<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">10 Use your mobile as a key</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">9 Marketing communications</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">8 Retail checkout payments</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">7 Vending machine payments</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">6 Flight check in</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">5 Credit / debit cards</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4 Season tickets</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">3 Loyalty cards</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">2 Parking Meter payments</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1 Mobile Coupon redemption</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Getting Started How do you Accept Payments?</span><br />Reverse SMS is very popular at the moment. It provides the ability for you to direct consumers to secret download links on your site whilst taking payment through a premium SMS message. Another method known as 'WAP Push' sends a link via SMS that automatically launches when the message is opened. You will need to set up your own WAP / SMS Gateway on your server which will require server administrator access to use both these solutions.<br /><br />But there are other easier solutions a number of websites are springing up that allow you to upload your content available for download, games, video, wallpaper, MP3's etc . A small fee is taken from each paid download by the SMS Gateway company..<br /><br />I've compiled a list of useful links to a number of the above solutions and I've also thrown in a couple of links to 'mobaphile' websites were you will find some interesting predictions for the future development of mobile phones along with some real off the wall ideas for making money with mobiles. http://www.how-to-make-money-online.info/m-commerce-resources.php<br /><br />To paraphrase a strap line 'The future's bright the future's mobile'.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author: Darren Yates</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Online a site all about making money online and Internet Marketing. </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-88613564167308517672009-01-20T03:52:00.000-08:002009-01-20T03:54:57.840-08:00Business expert says : What If A Franchise Was Run Like a Typical Home Based Business and Residual Income?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpjIBcloyULDbkPz1bOFag27NXjp_Rk2SLnJFoVvgjN4OCSyzNnxShm7qLiE2f2Nvj18lrBh0K55LvOBNnP9DlseJzQ6IHmXJ6CXCovm9zrFgZ6RItJBIPr9ocj36MXye4XI_DoXsNAUqN/s1600-h/1111.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 174px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpjIBcloyULDbkPz1bOFag27NXjp_Rk2SLnJFoVvgjN4OCSyzNnxShm7qLiE2f2Nvj18lrBh0K55LvOBNnP9DlseJzQ6IHmXJ6CXCovm9zrFgZ6RItJBIPr9ocj36MXye4XI_DoXsNAUqN/s200/1111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293343015643441938" border="0" /></a>Have you ever wondered how a Franchise would do if run like a typical home business? This might give you some idea.<br /><br />There is something that is long as I live I will never understand. Well I suppose actually there are several things, however right now this is business focused. That something is residual income. I just can’t for the life of me understand how someone can go through life and just continue to work at a job with no plan for residual income. I suppose many people just can’t comprehend that they can have money coming into them while they aren’t working.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />There are a number of ways to get residual income like writing a book, or a song. However, these are tough occupations to succeed at.<br /><br />One of the very best ways to have residual income is good home business in Network Marketing. Network marketing has been criticized, poked fun of, ridiculed and worse. But it’s here to stay and it’s popularity is growing. Often called the poor man’s franchise, with the right company, product and timing a person can actually do much better than a franchise without the expense and headaches that so often accompany a franchise.<br /><br />Think about this, what would you say is the best most successful stable franchise today? Several come to mind but no one can argue that McDonalds wouldn’t be at or near the top of most lists. So what kind of point am I making here. Simply this, many people argue that home businesses, especially in the area of network marketing don’t work. Well gee whiz if a McDonalds was run the same way the majority of people work their home business the McDonalds would all go out of business.<br /><br />Here is how the typical McDonalds would be run if run by the typical unsuccessful home businessperson.<br /><br />When it’s open – I stress the word open, (more on this) it would probably be open less than 1 hour a day. The workers would be sitting around pretending to be working, but accomplishing very little. And then suddenly at a whim the store would abruptly close, perhaps to open again in a few days or even a few weeks. No schedule or hours of operation would be posted when the store was going to be open. After reopening after an absence the workers would just be getting back in the groove of working again when a half hour later the store would close because no customers were coming in. It seemed not knowing when the store would be open was keeping them away – imagine that. Well after a month or so of no customers the store is closed with the owner muttering under his breath. “These franchise things just don’t work!” Then he starts telling all his friends, “I tried one of those franchise things once. They just don’t work!”<br /><br />This example is easy to see and yet we all wonder why a home business fails when conducted in this same manner. What is great about a home business versus a traditional business is you don’t have to start each day at 8:00, you have a lot of flexibility. However, you don’t have the flexibility not to work for days and weeks at a stretch and engage in poor work habits when you decide to work.<br /><br />Of course not all the blame can be put on the new home business person, there are some bad programs out there and timing can be bad with others. Of course wrong expectations can mislead many people into discouragement. What do we mean here. Well look at it this way. Very few people would argue that Microsoft would be a poor stock investment today. However, there are people that hype their particular company that has passed it's growth spurt, that you can get rich and retire with their company. This is the same as a dishonest stock broker pushing Microsoft from the angle of it getting ready to explode in value as they will have double digit growth each month for the next 5 years. Hey in the early 80’s Microsoft had this type of growth, just don't expect the growth to continue forever.<br /><br />The point is there are always new Microsoft’s in the Business and Home Business markets. It’s knowing how to find them that is key. They are out there, home businesses that are rock solid and will experience this type of explosive growth over the next 5 years.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Nick A.

Remember I said OK!<br /><br />For the other 20% , these guys and gals, are testing,changing, innovating and working Google as hard as they can.<br /><br />One such character is Chris Carpenter , whose GoogleCash is pioneering in the way that he works Google and now lets<br />other work Google just as hard.<br /><br />"Like Bruce Lee taught us the art of fighting without fighting, Chris Carpenter shows us the art of website revenue generation without a website!"<br /><br />Chris has shown examples of Adwords campaigns that cost cents to set up but pay dollars in commissions. None of my<br />current investments give me such a high ROI.<br /><br />I have tried my hand at it and I am currently making around $4000 per month just from this one product. I am only<br />spending $250 on Adwords to get this return.<br /><br />Why not have a look at Google Cash yourself.<br /><br />http://www.j2-squared.com/google-cash-book-review.htm<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Tails you win!</span><br /><br />Secondly, while most people just cut and paste Adsense code into all the pages of their site, they just leave it at that<br />thinking job done!<br /><br />They don't explore the high value keywords in their market or niche.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Why do that?</span><br /><br />Well if you knew what the more profitable keywords and terms are, you can write content and these words can be displayed.<br />Google Adsense will then look at your page content and work out what to display.<br /><br />You could double your income by changing words on your site. Maybe Life insurance to life assurance or personal loan to<br />loans or adverse credit to bad credit.<br /><br />Also sites tend to use one format and one position for the ads.<br /><br />Test, test, test<br /><br />Try different layouts and work out which ones work best for you. You may be surprised.<br /><br />Test, test, test<br /><br />There are several tools that can help you identify keywords but the best for you would be either the Google Adwords program or Overture view bids tool.<br /><br />Don't worry about thinking you are doing anything wrong. In fact, think about it - you will be creating relevant content for Google to display and for their users to read. Users are happy, Google are happy and you will earn more revenue from Adsense. So hopefully you'll be happy too!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">A Win Win situation!</span><br /><br />Again, like most things rather than reinvent the wheel there is a whole book on Adsense written my friend William<br />Charlwood has written The Definitive Guide to Google AdSense which tells you exactly how to make money by hosting small<br />ads on your website.

From inexpensive ink jets to monochrome and color lasers, different printers are designed to do different jobs with your computer. You will have a few choices to make when getting your new printer: price, speed, and print quality are the main ones. Ink jet printers and digital cameras are changing how we print photographs. Load your printer up with special photo inks and paper and ink jet/bubble jet printers have become one of the best options for transforming a digital image into a photograph!

Although most people will have to purchase new ones during the life of their computer. This is because they do not last as long as the computer system itself. Of course, it is dependent on how much you use them, how rough you are on them, and how clean you keep them.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Author: Bonnie Archer</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-56118157237845530452009-01-18T21:55:00.000-08:002009-01-18T22:00:07.666-08:00Web expert says : Website Buying Guide Checklist<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoutZFA8curlrf-CaDcbR1TKAzohGE6REYrNmR6t0zolxLcAeFsLDgIm2UffYPTYHwmgVo1bLF6mlT_UQ7plVuidgOIlelOoLTg9H_w1rdvLEUt632timmHtZjmoVoQwk1RtOMWnE0Hq0/s1600-h/1111.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaoutZFA8curlrf-CaDcbR1TKAzohGE6REYrNmR6t0zolxLcAeFsLDgIm2UffYPTYHwmgVo1bLF6mlT_UQ7plVuidgOIlelOoLTg9H_w1rdvLEUt632timmHtZjmoVoQwk1RtOMWnE0Hq0/s200/1111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292880250602687122" border="0" /></a>Can you really get a website even without knowing anything about code, and without paying a fortune? Find out.<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />The days when websites were primarily distinguished by their code are long gone. Nowadays, the web is a true publishing medium that favors well thought-out ideas. You can get a professional-looking website online in minutes with many website building services and software. But what should you look for? What are the features you really need and which are just clutter?<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Content Editing</span><br /><br />Some website authoring software packages only allow you to entire plain, unformatted text. Some of them allow you to entire HTML tags. Others provide a WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") interface with options for font, links, and image insertion much like a word processor's. Some will allow you to use more than one, or even all of these options so you have a choice on how you want to format your text.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Template Designs</span><br /><br />Every website builder ever invented came with at least one or two templates for creating the graphical look of a website, so you don't have to design the look of the site yourself. But some packages have very large libraries of templates, some have only a few. Some will let you mix and match elements of the design templates, while others will lock you in to one setup.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Ecommerce Functions</span><br /><br />Many ready-to-go websites created by website builder software feature built-in shopping carts. Some even come with credit card processing. This is of course necessary if you're going to be selling stuff direct online. But if you're not going to be selling anything, ecommerce functionalities may just complicate the administration of the site and pad the price for the software or service.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Blogging Functions</span><br /><br />Blogs are "web logs," but blogging software involves more than just a simple online journal. Blogging technology allows you to send your new posts directly to subscribers via RSS, without them having to visit your site or receive an email from you. Still, unless you plan on updating your site regularly (at least once a month), your website's blog will just gather cobwebs.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Email</span><br /><br />Some hosted web authoring systems provide email accounts at no additional charge, while others do charge separately. Some web builder systems even come with modules for creating email newsletters.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Support</span><br /><br />It is very likely that you will encounter a technical difficulty at some point while owning your website. Make sure you know in advance of paying whether the company provides only paid support, and if any included support is over email, a web ticketing system, or the telephone.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Photo and Image Management</span><br /><br />For many, if not most, people who want personal websites, displaying pictures online is a primary motivation, if not the only motivation. If you want to display pictures on your website, make sure to choose a website builder system that makes it easy to upload and publish images.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Renting vs. Owning</span><br /><br />You can buy website authoring software upfront for a flat fee, or you can "rent;" i.e., pay a company every month to use a hosted service. The choice is up to you, but remember that the hosted service will likely charge you much more in the end: averaging around $20/month, hosted the typical hosted website builder will cost you $240/year--far more than most desktop software.<br /><br />In short, you don't need to know how a website is coded to make one, any more than a book author needs to know about printing ink. Don't burden yourself with learning how to do web design. Having fun with your website starts with choosing a website builder software that will make it fun.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Author: Joel Walsh</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-7947171109077493572009-01-18T21:44:00.000-08:002009-01-18T21:53:48.503-08:00Blog expert says : Blogosphere Networking<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEH-d8bLgibk8MFGAWtoToIQIcg-La4mXkf0y8f9jpSATDpaCUSwJqMly0o0y9sgilPYnukQsPa8uUA_AQnlcg4U4eGX70cB-a-2loCTPGS5bxIQoTjsxTk1MXgX-CsRp9T7oOhRZbXxpC/s1600-h/1111.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 194px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEH-d8bLgibk8MFGAWtoToIQIcg-La4mXkf0y8f9jpSATDpaCUSwJqMly0o0y9sgilPYnukQsPa8uUA_AQnlcg4U4eGX70cB-a-2loCTPGS5bxIQoTjsxTk1MXgX-CsRp9T7oOhRZbXxpC/s200/1111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292878640233796722" border="0" /></a>Blogging seems to be taking over the world, or at least everyone seems to be talking about blogs. However, there are a surprisingly large number of people who have no idea of blogs, blawgs, blogsphere, etc....<br /><br /><span id="fullpost"><br />I was recently at a social gathering with some very educated and sophisticated individuals. In the conversation I mentioned my new book (“Some Assembly Required: How to Make, Keep and Grow Your Business Relationships” and my blog (“The Business Development / Networking Blog”). Everyone immediately understood the concept of a book.....but the idea of a blog created many a puzzled face.<br /><br />I was asked a lot of questions (some folks had heard of blogging, others had not). The following are the top questions, and my feeble attempt to answer them:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">1. Why did you start your blog?</span><br /><br />I started it as an experiment to help educate myself about blogs. My company is interested in having an industry focused blog, and I decided to take it upon myself to jump into the blogosphere and get my feet wet. In addition, I write a recurring column for Professional Marketing Magazine, and I thought that regularly writing a blog would give me some good practice and help me uncover themes for future articles. I also felt I could use it to help promote my new book.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">2. Has it been worth it?</span><br /><br />Yes!!! On all three of the above reasons I have exceeded my goals. I now understand the commitment involved if we create an industry blog. I have already created a lot of positive material that can later be turned into articles for my marketing column. AND.....I have sold a bunch of copies of my new book .....even before it is released.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">3. Are all blogs the same?</span><br /><br />NO. There are as many types of blogs are there are writers. I have categorized them into three types, but I am sure others would have arguments about these areas:<br /><br />A. Corporate Blogs. These are hosted by companies to promote their products and services or to communicate with clients.<br /><br />B. Philosophical / Content Blogs. In this type, an individual (or group of individuals) writes on a specific topic and shares their opinions with the readers. Topics can range from business to sports to politics to religion, etc.... I would put The Business Development / Networking Blog in this category. The blogs from which I learn the most are philosophical/content blogs.<br /><br />C. Diaries. In these blogs people record their daily experiences the way one would write in a diary. Some of these can be quite entertaining, as they allow the voyeur in each of us to look into someone else's private world. However, reader beware...some of these can reveal a bit more than you want to read (or see).<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">4. Why would I want to read blogs?</span><br /><br />They are a great way to discover information on any particular topic or variety of ideas. Many bloggers have very good sources of information and they certainly have opinions. As with any media source, you need to beware of the authors intent and ulterior motives. Also, blogs can just be interesting to read.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">5. What have you learned from writing your blog?</span><br /><br />Like the term "World Wide Web" only a decade ago, "Blogs, blogging and the blogosphere" are the new new thing, and are not just a "fad". If people are not yet aware of blogs, they will be soon. More and more blogs are created every day and blogs will soon touch everyone who surf the internet.<br />Having your own blog, however, is not for everyone. You must be committed to writing on a regular basis, and not shy about sharing your opinions. I have learned that a blog can go stale if you do not make posts on a regular basis.<br /><br />I also learned that when you blog, you are actually networking. At first it seemed like this was one sided, until I began to hear from people who were regularly reading my blog. I have developed new friendships with many bloggers who write about similar topics. Often one blogger will email another with a compliment or suggestion, and they will begin to correspond regularly. Just like any other type of business friendship, the relationship grows over time. This blog-networking leads to mutual understanding and respect between the bloggers and then can lead to business relationships and referrals.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">6. Should I start a blog?</span><br /><br />That is a question every person will have to answer for himself/herself. I<br />would suggest you begin by reading other blogs and getting familiar with what is out there in blog-land. If you believe that you have something to say...then by all means, start a blog. But remember to be patient and persistent. Like writing a book, it takes time and there is no guarantee that you will become widely read. However if you are dedicated, you will uncover many unexpected benefits from your blogging experience.<br /><br />If you are interested in easily learning about blogs, I suggest you start by reading the posts and links in the series called “31 Days to Better Blogs" at www.problogger.net, hosted by Darren Rowse. This is the best collection of advice to the experienced and novice blogge<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">the Author : Thom Singer </span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556157619605666160.post-48407961256187424082009-01-17T21:19:00.000-08:002009-01-17T21:22:15.637-08:00Computer expert says : COMPUTER BACKUPS<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxCFOacccuwugdyMnjW0AcbQ_kAH2ZvUlqhzCo9rBjitBK6tfdRh1YqWCeQr-K5kvsvfQYMFXxsrZNC4b8tzqQKoD3ZzxcnsnGuT6Pz2O_kjgg2S7X3BytwGAtDx535suZfqSqNMSahu6h/s1600-h/1111.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 178px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxCFOacccuwugdyMnjW0AcbQ_kAH2ZvUlqhzCo9rBjitBK6tfdRh1YqWCeQr-K5kvsvfQYMFXxsrZNC4b8tzqQKoD3ZzxcnsnGuT6Pz2O_kjgg2S7X3BytwGAtDx535suZfqSqNMSahu6h/s200/1111.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292499676018595074" border="0" /></a>COMPUTERS AND HALLOWEEN, DO THEY MIX?<br /><br />Computer backup is so important to your computer that to ignore it is to risk its damnation.<br /><br />Computers require care and feeding. They require that you attend to their needs. If you don't, then they will most surely be sent to Hell.<br /><br />Halloween means Hell. What! What do you mean that Halloween means Hell?<br /><span id="fullpost"><br />Well, if your computer is given the option of trick or treat, which will it accept? Will it accept the trick or the treat? What do you think?<br /><br />Halloween is the time that computers are subject to tricks or treats. Did you know that more computers fail on Halloween than any other day of the year? That’s right. It’s true (smile). Your computer is in danger! Protect it. Do your computer backups.<br /><br />Back to the Hell thing. Hell you say? Yep. Well, what do you mean by Hell?<br /><br />Computer hell is the place for computers without computer backup. The failure to perform hard drive backup means that you are playing Russian Roulette with your data. Data needs your protection. Failure to protect your data may cause your home or business records to be sent to Hell.<br /><br />Hell in this instance is for the records and files that cannot be resurrected. Resurrected you say, what does that mean?<br /><br />It means that without computer backup as a source of salvation then the files can safely enjoy eternal oblivion. Oblivion you say, what does that mean? That means they are eternally lost from computer resurrection.<br /><br />Is there any mercy for my precious files, you ask?<br /><br />Why yes there is. Would like to know what the mercy for your files is? Yes! Yes! You say.<br /><br />OK boys and girls listen carefully. The salvation, mercy, resurrection and redemption of your files lies in regular and consistent and persistent computer backup.<br /><br />If you backup your computer consistently and persistently your files will be resurrected and saved from accidental deletion, hard drive failure and those nasty things like fire, flood, theft, earthquake, hurricanes, tornados and the like!<br /><br />Computer backup is the key to your data's salvation!<br /><br />Do your computer backups boys and girls.<br /><br />Milk and cookies will be served in the pantry.<br /><br />Trick or treat for your computer backup?<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">About the author:</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Jack Back has been a working computer consultant company owner since 1991.</span><br /></span>mazziwanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12629048286530044983noreply@blogger.com0
