Getting Your Newsletter or Ezine Past the Filters

As if it’s not difficult enough to create high quality content for your newsletter or ezine, there’s a new problem that’s cropped up lately that could have a major impact on your success. That problem is the growing amount of spam that is being sent across the internet, and the many filters that are being put in place to block it.

Two Secrets to Getting More Done in Less Time

You’re completely bogged down with work. This week you must complete three client proposals, and two of your staff are out sick. You feel you have a better chance of sprouting wings and flying than getting those proposals done. From experience, you know that each proposal will take around four hours to do. However, you just don’t have those 12 hours to spare. You decide that you will have to call your clients, tell them that you’re overwhelmed, and assure them that you will deliver the proposals next week.

Getting Ready for Your Media Interview

If you’re in business, especially if you are doing business on the Internet, the day will come when you are invited to do a media interview. Perhaps someone has read your online articles and is impressed, or perhaps your local newspaper or television station is profiling interesting Internet entrepreneurs in their community. Whatever the reason, you are being given an excellent opportunity to promote your business. To get the most mileage from your interview, consider the following tips:

No Visitors? … No Wonder … They’re getting it elsewhere for Free!

I used to spend hours every week in the public library, I also used to spend a fortune on books. My love for books continues but I no longer spend so much time in the library, or indeed so much money buying books. Some of my main interests are in areas of technology and we all know how fast technology is moving … so what’s the point of buying a book on a certain aspect of technology when by the time it is in print it is already long out of date. So I go to what my son calls the “BIG” bookshelf, the one that’s hidden behind my modem. There on the Internet I can find information about anything, especially technology, and it’s up to date! Often it is also interactive, more fun and generally it’s cheaper than books.

Getting the Most from Overture.com

Allan Gardyne says, “I recommending paying the minimum account fee as an experiment and buying as many search phrases as you can possibly come up with to increase your chances of being seen. That’s a very cheap way of finding out what works.” Allan and Nathan Power run a website called PayPerClickSearchEngines.com that offers excellent information about the different pay-per-click engines. The minimum order is $25. This means that you must deposit at least $25 in order to bid on a keyword. The initial $25 is non-refundable, but any amount over that is refundable. You can purchase as many keywords as you choose, but you can only link to one page per search term. Your keywords must be relevant to your site, and your title and description must also relate to the search term. Adult website owners must purchase keywords that are clearly adult-related. So, an adult site couldn’t purchase keywords such as “girl,” “doll,” “couple,” etc. Sites that depict acts of violence or illegal activities won’t be accepted into Overture. Orders are normally processed and implemented within 3 to 5 days. This lead time is needed in order for the editors to check the relevancy of your search terms. Did you know that you can bid on a directory term? You simply submit your bid in the same manner as you would any search term.
