The phone stops ringing, your e-mail box has nothing but advertisements and it appears as if your business has come to an end. What happened and even more important what should you do when it appears as if your business has hit a wall?
Whatever We Focus Our [...]

I get the L.A. Times delivered to my door every day, but I don’t read it for the articles. It is a Pulitzer Prize winning newspaper, but the articles just don’t interest me. Unlike most people, I read the paper for the advertisements because there is a lot to learn from them.
Over 90% of the ads run in the Los Angeles Times are horrible! Most of the ads I see are either ego-driven, have no headline, have no call to [...]

Unfortunately, not many Search Engine Optimization companies know what this involves. You may see a “one size fits all” package, link popularity development in the form of submitting to link farms, or even the dreaded “Submit Your Site to 1000’s of Search Engines” scam. While the basic premise of each of these ideas is true, the execution of them is extremely important.
First of all, your web site needs human attention. A real person should thoroughly analyze your site before any [...]

Wouldn’t it be nice if the search engines could comprehend our impressions of search results and adjust their databases accordingly? Properly optimized web pages would show up well in contextual searches and be rewarded with favorable reviews and listings. Pages which were spam or which had content that did not properly match the query would get negative responses and be pushed down in the search results.
Well, this reality is much closer than you might think.
To date, most webmasters and search [...]

There are today search engine and internet marketing services, in fact a new industry has materialised to exploit the fear of low search rankings.
This is not a new trend, back when simply resubmitting your website to the engines resulted in keeping your site at the top of the index, there was an accompanying boom in resubmitting “companies”, as we know, these were just men in back bedrooms with a host of CGI and Perl submitting scripts and a timetable.

The days of basing a successful link building strategy on link quantity and anchor text alone may be numbered. The link popularity theories behind PageRank and Hilltop remain important, but major search engines are continually adding new elements to their link algorithms to improve search relevance. One of these new elements is the concept of visual page segmentation which was recently proposed in a paper entitled “Block-level Link Analysis,” by Deng Cai, Xaiofei He, Ji-Rong Wen and Wei-Ying, available online [...]

2. FREE yes, put this word in big, bold capital letters at least once on your home page. Everyone can give something away for FREE. The Internet was built on the premise of FREE. [...]

The small business owner who proudly claims he doesn’t need a website, because he doesn’t sell anything online and his “word of mouth” customer pipeline works just fine, is misinformed at best or ignorant, at worst. Why doesn’t he just tell you to come back in a year for the court-ordered liquidation auction? Hindsight will be 20-20 then.
The truth is, everyone needs a website. It doesn’t matter if you sell anything online or not, your prospects want to learn more [...]

A new form of advertising has exploded on the net recently and
from the coverage it’s getting it may be the next biggest thing
since Pay-Per-Click (PPC). This is because it fills a gap in the
market. While PPC, banner ads and pop-up ads reigned as the
cheapest form of online advertising the costs of these campaigns
on a yearly basis could still run into tremendous sums.
Something cheaper than PPC? Let me introduce PIXEL
ADVERTISING.
THE CONCEPT
Introduced as a new concept by Alex Tew, a student at [...]
