Looking For Advice On Selling My Online Business
I have a few questions/concerns and I know that the great minds on this forum might be able to help. What should I do If I'm interested in possibly selling an Online business? This business which I leave vague for reasons that I'll explain in a moment has been in business Online for just over 15 years, which really is a LIFETIME or two on the web. We are a niche market and have had great times and slow times just like any other business Online or brick and mortar over the past 15 years.

Conversion Tracking With 3rd Party Hosted Cart Systems?
We're trying to set up Adwords conversion tracking and unfortunately don't have access to the conversion pages' code to insert the tracking snippet. (The BS system we're using now doesn't even let us specify our own conversion destination page.)

I'm a doctor and about to launch a new web site based on a 6 year research project. This project is a lower extremity biomechanics concept called CT band syndrome or CTBS. The web site will act as a cafe of sorts for providers and students to come and interact with this new biomechanics concept.

Fight Duplicate Content With New Content?
I have a client whose G ranking has disappeared from page 1 and all search results for his main keyword phrase. (It ranked there for a few years.) We have found that a big B2B site with a PR three points higher than his has duplicated the text from our homepage on three of its listings pages all with false contact information except the link to our website.

How To Present SEO Results To Customer?
I am not always the most tactful person and I need to present current results of my SEO efforts to a customer but want to do so in a way that does not come off as bragging or superior. I simply want him to see that he is getting good value and good results.

Create A Better User Experience
Some areas of the economy are going well still, but many are crumbling. If you are a publisher that monetizes via advertising one way to make up for lost earnings is to add more ad units to a page, but if something is not working then doing more of it is probably a bad solution for fixing the problem.

Merchant Accounts & Banks
Say if I wished to accept payments on my website worldwide,i.e, from international credit cards - which one in your opinion would be better - First Data or something like World Pay or any good recommendations is appreciated (keeping in mind any hassles that I may have to face in future if things were to get bigger).

Potential Benefits of Combining 2 Blogs
I have one blog who for the third straight update has scored a zero on PR. I did a lot of PPP on the site at one time and despite having removed the posts and done nothing with pay per post since last summer. I don't regret doing the paid posting on that blog as it brought several hundred bucks a month in when I really needed.

Forum Software To Fit In Current Design?
I have a client wanting to put a forum within their existing site. Most of the forum programs/software I've seen out there do this but for the most part they look like they can't be "included" within the site's current framework/template. They look completely different with little modification to the look.

Problem Importing Faulty Goods From China To UK
I recently imported some goods from china, cost me about $1500, when they arrived they were faulty. I have dealt with the company previously and they did once before send me a faulty batch, which at that time, I thought it could be a one off so I accepted replacements which were ok.
