| Article Title :: Don't Feed the Trolls |
| |
|
What is a troll? He is a hairy, ugly creature that lives under a
bridge. Yet, there is another kind of troll; this troll is a
forum group poster who makes a post that is controversial or an
outright lie to provoke readers into a flame war. Every time I
read a troll's post I think "Liar, liar, pants on fire."
Sometimes I just want to scream that from the top of my lungs.
What is it that makes people twist the truth to justify their
own needs? The story keeps changing or the trolls say things
that just don't add up.
Why is it people can't mind their own business. I swear that
some people just want disruption and chaos. I swear they live
for it. Why do they get enjoyment out of harassing peo (read full article) |

I am astonished at the statistics concerning identity theft. The
2005 numbers aren't in yet but, in 2004 over 9.9 million
Americans had their identity stolen. And if history repeats
itself, well over 10 million will have their identity stolen in

| Article Title :: Top 3 Myths About Internet Marketing |
| |
|
Lack of understanding and old thinking has long cost small
business owners their competitive edge and despite a steady
stream of research proving the effectiveness of Internet
marketing, yet again, it has mostly been larger firms taking
advantage of this new advertising medium. According to
projections by eMarketer.com, online ad spending in 2005 grew by
more than 30%, surpassing the $10 billion mark for the first
time. But many small and medium-size business owners (SMEs) are
still wary of introducing Internet marketing to their business
plans. If you listen to their reasoning, the Internet might be
considered as the fax machine once was: unnecessary, unproven
and not cost effective. Well, (read full article) |

| Article Title :: 20 Major Marketing Mistakes - No1. Failing to understand the
nature of Internet marketing |
| |
|
A surprisingly high number of people who are new to the world of
online marketing believe that it is a simple art. If only this
were true!
I'm not saying that they believe that all they need to do is
find themselves a product, build a website, plug-in an order
system, place an advertisement or two and then wait for the
money to roll in, but many people simply fail to appreciate the
significance of the use of the word Marketing in the phrase
"Online Marketing".
A quick look at the index of any online marketing course will an
indication of just what is involved in setting up your own
internet business with such headings as, "Building a website",
"hooking-up your order pages", "Setting-up a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: You Need a Business Plan for Inernet Success |
| |
|
Get rich quick on the internet. How many times do you see that
phrase or something like it as you surf the web? There are so
many schemes out there to accomplish that goal. But how many
people actually get to that dream?
Very few. And why is that? The biggest mistake that most
beginning internet marketers make is not going into their
project with a "business mindset". They're looking at an
internet business as a "get rich" scheme. They doom their
success from the get go.
To start an internet business you first need a plan. With a
brick and mortar business this business plan is usually made to
attract investors or secure a bank loan for start up money. But
the internet is different territ (read full article) |

The number one seller on the Internet is information. Have lots

it.
2. Top Ten Lists:
Always popular are Top Ten Lists ... or Top Seven Lists, or

Welcome to "The Long Tail"
If we took all the movie buffs of the world, grouped them
according to favorite movies, and made a graph of the head-count
starting from largest to smallest numbers, we would end up with
a line gently sloping down from the box-office smashes to
contemporary silent movies about puppets and on into obscurity.
However, as the line continues, it lingers indefinitely along
the horizontal axis. This lingering section is known as "The
Long Tail."
Chris Anderson, an editor at Wired Magazine, coined the term in
an October 2004 article and is currently in the process of
writing a book on the subject. Although Anderson's original
focus was on the mass retailing of books a (read full article) |

| Article Title :: What To Do When Some One Steals Your Blog |
| |
|
So you've created that great blog you wanted and now you have
visitors and may even be making some money. Now you find out
that not only do your visitors enjoy your blog, but so do the
thieves. There is something called "splog", meaning spam blog
and they have taken it to a whole new level. For instance take a
look at what happened to Malik over at gigaom.com.
Now they no longer steal a story or a few snippets from your
blog, they steal the entire thing. A few weeks ago a free blog
hosting website was steaming mad as a new hosting site started
up, but looking at both sites they were not just similar, they
were virtually the same.
Why would people do this? The same old, same old. Money. No (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Internet Directories - Underrated? |
| |
|
There is a huge misconception of Internet directories these
days. People seem to think that the ONLY way to find information
on the Internet is to use a search engine. This is a problem I
would like to address in this article.
Over the past 2 or 3 years many people have been "brain washed"
by google into thinking that their search engine is the only way
to find quality information quickly. Some people such as myself
believe that there are 100's of great resources available on the
Internet besides google, msn, or yahoo. These resources, once
found are usually much more powerful and precise than the search
engines can ever be.
Internet directories these days are a great way to find the

| Article Title :: What the Search Engines Want...and How to Give it to Them |
| |
|
One question which should concern all internet marketers is
--- What are the search engines looking for? Search engines are
based on computer logic, which sees information in text or
numerical form, and has a hierarchical approach to font sizes,
typefaces, and repetition of words or phrases. This article will
give details about search engine preferences and explain how
website content can be constructed to cater to these preferences
to increase ranking on Google and other search engines.
Is Your Site a Template? Google Ranks these Sites Low If your
site is a template (mortgage, real estate, etc) and Google reads
many sites repeated in the same format on the web, this picky
search engine (read full article) |
