This seems to be useful but for some reason I'm sure there are going to be a lot of legit accounts that are going to be blocked. I'd love to see how the stats prove the system.
Whether you like or dislike these sites, this piece of crap hacker, poses a threat and I personally see it a form of terrorism. Malicious attacks on inter-human communication are more than just illegal - they are morally wrong.
Parking pages is good only for newbies and for those who don’t have time or wish to setup own sites. Some advanced and more strict domain owners / webmasters state that "it's worst what you could do with your domain is to park it" and I agree…
Great list there. And three things one has to concentrate to gain traffic through search engine optimization. First is relevant and quality content on a particular keyword usually related to the product/services. Second is link building, link exchange and reciprocal linking so more sites will be pointing to your site as reference. Last one is social media participation so people who have an account on these social media sites will get to know your site.
It really depnds on the product or service you want to promote. Doing surveys for the money is certainly important to a lot of people and the hourly rate can work out extremely well.
An e-mail or blog post with a compelling attention grabber seems to be imperative to capture the audience for that little time needed to complete a survey. I look forward to reading some dynamite attention getters. Looking for something creative, new and enticing!
I got the wordpress plugin dofollow and am going to install that to get around nofollow. But it doesn’t discourage comment spam, but it does discourage real comments. I think people do comment when they know they’ll get a little link love.
Yeah... you should be in level 2. Yahoo says that Level 1 users will no longer be able to include active links in their answers. You can still include a URL, but it won’t appear as an active link. As the Yahoo blog post says, this is a small but significant change.
For good bloggers giving real value away is everything. Bloggers, the best ones are looking to share great things of value - about experiences, culture, products, life. If you cannot give them a story that fits their blogging model, perhaps you shouldn't be reaching out to bloggers but buying an ad.
Have tried and learnt few things like the people want to watch what interests them. Relevant content is what keeps people watching and coming back. Usually no one wants to watch a video that's nothing but an ad!Make videos which are informative or funny enough to make people want to watch them and come back for more.
I agree with above comments. In my opinion discounts do give your customers, even the loyal ones, the impression that they have been paying too much in the past and now they should get as much as of a discount as possible.
Actually, though software testing is important and requires high skills and is an area that is in demand, it is not a highly paid job when compared to other software industry areas.
To retain a customer, keep him happy. Because they are satisfied with your service, they'll be happy to give you referrals. But, of course I know its easier said than done. It depends on industry, you can offer incentives and let them know they are appreciated!
That looks like a good offer to me. When talking about reviews, I remember Amazon also rewards its product reviewers with cash prizes every month. If you write a review at any of the Amazon sites around the globe and are the first to do so in that category, then you'll be entered into a sweepstake to win a monthly cash prize.
Once you set your account you can setup goals. According to FAQ's - A goal is a website page which a visitor reaches once they have made a purchase or completed another desired action, such as a registration or download. Before Google Analytics can calculate goal conversion metrics, you must define one or more goals.
Not all strategies are guaranteed to work for everyone. Email campaigns are important to your business as well as you are to the client. Many companies sell email addresses, but you don’t know exactly what your getting. If your business is about selling a software program for instance, you may want to target the audience by finding email addresses from websites for people that may be interested in your product.
Personally, I only use Twitter for blog update, following what my friends are doing, and let others know about any interesting stuff that I found or did.
MCSA is more in the system administration (networking software) side while CCNA is more in the engineering (networking hardware) side so its really up to you on what you want to do in the near future. But having both will give you more good than harm. MCSE & CCNA Certifications coupled with field experience and/or related IT training certifications are an excellent and sometimes essential means to get professional success. It makes you a complete Network professional to start with.
Also learn to do your research on what technologies you might be interested in by joining online forums that are dedicated to servicing these professionals. From these, you may also get an idea as to whether a career in databases, system administration, network engineering or hard-code programming would be best for you.
One more thing to add is, referrals have always been an powerful way of gaining customers. This is especially true for the web, where trust levels can be low for new visitors. So, a referral from a trusted source can make all the difference in converting a visitor into a customer. In fact, tell-a-friend referrals bring the best traffic a website can get, because a referral adds real credibility to your message.
A discipline of software development that follows a specific structure that is designed to simplify and expedite the process of developing new software.
Extreme programming teams design software for specific functionalities without adding any functionalities that are not specifically requested that may slow down the process, keeping the development course simple through systematic and regular testing and design improvements.
Good post there, jrafique. Keyword optimization, as they say the art of choosing the correct keywords, is one of the most important things related to SEO. Sadly, it's also one of the things people tend to spend too little time on.
Good tip there. As my campaign progresses and when I can determine actual conversion rate, adjust the CPC accordingly. As better approach is to base the CPC on your profit margins.
Try Google for "paid research surveys", and the best ones will be listed first. Choose one and read terms of service before signing up. Real paid survey sites pay you, not the other way around. But somehow I feel signing up for survey opportunities are just one way to capture your email address, and soon your email will be filled up with spam.
Yeah MySpace is very strict about spam so don't overdo things that might trigger the MySpace spam busters or else you may find your profile deleted from MySpace.
Sometimes I doubt Alexa ranking’s truthfulness. When I see Alexa rank improved it sounds good, but it’s dubious because I don’t see much increase in traffic in my web trackers.
If you are selling your software online and taking payments through an international payment gateway like paypal or authorize.net, no need to register, just develop a web site and can sell your software.
Though major search engines do not provide much importance to Meta tags, but still its better to optimize Meta tags. Basically of all the Meta tags the two primary tags that play a role in optimization are the Meta Keywords tag and the Meta description tag.
Some how you allowed a really bad piece of software/spyware/virus to install. You could fuss around with more tools to try and remove it but I doubt they'd be successful. Check your startup of windows. Maybe something is loading the process for IE during startup. Or you can switch to Firefox as dlancelot says.
Treasure hunt will be a good idea, again depending on your niche, there are different prizes that are appropriate. For example, video game forums would likely give out video games.
Agree with Dani, inspire your visitors to spread the word for you with viral marketing techniques, from the newsgroup participation to including an "e-mail this link" on every page of your site.
turkey/pie. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, when sales go absolutely nuts. In this economic climate, things may get even crazier than normal.
