<p>Internet marketing with newsletters is probably one of the most effect marketing strategies. However, the whole process of devising and implementing a newsletter campaign involves considerable amount of planning. Given below are a few guidelines that would help you make your campaign a success. </p>
<p>Step 1: Determine what you can sell online, or how to monetize your site.</p>
<p>Step 2: People use the Internet for information. Try to figure out what information is unique to your business? Everybody is an expert in his or her chosen field. This information is valuable to others.</p>
<p>Step 3: Identify your target audience. Define your audience, and then find out where they are going online for information. E.g. which sites, newsgroups and discussions boards are the most popular. This technique alone will greatly build your traffic as well as your name. You’d be amazed at how many businesses still define their audience as &#8220;all people&#8221; or &#8220;everyone needs my product&#8221;. This is not true. Contrary to popular business myth, the Internet is not a mainstream medium. Communities are usually quite passionate about their interests. Find your community and become an authority to them.</p>
<p>Step 4: Your website and newsletter content is the information that is your leverage. With proper content, the Internet can be the most successful medium to propagate the essence of your business. Content works in becoming your business’s USP. Your content will mean the difference in your site being an online business or merely a ‘brochure site’.</p>
<p>Step 5: Create and maintain your mailing list. </p>
<p>Step 6: Produce your newsletter. Email newsletters are great because you can include ‘hot links’ that will open a webpage. Make sure you include the http:// and almost all email software will understand it to be an internet address, make it ‘clickable’, then open the page in your internet browser.</p>
<p>Step 7: Make sure you have auto-responders in place to field often-asked questions, and subscribe and unsubscribe your recipients automatically. (You will always lose a few. Don’t take it personally. Make it easy for people to off your list).</p>
<p>Step 8: Never SPAM. Spamming is the practice of sending information to people who didn’t actually ask for it. It has been an accepted practice in the offline direct marketing world but for some reason has become a really sensitive issue online. Don’t even try it. You could find yourself switched off by your ISP. They will not hesitate for fear of being listed world wide as a SPAM server.</p>
<p>Getting subscribers and generating leads for your newsletter <br />
<a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tools.htm' target='_blank'>PPC Affiliate Guide</a><br />
There are many different ways of getting subscribers to your Newsletter. Obviously, the first place you should start is on your website, doing this can get you an immediate flow of subscribers. You should advertise your Newsletter and place a sign-up box on every page of your site. Always use the sign-up box instead of a simple email link when you can because the results are far better. The top of the page is a better place for your sign-up box as it gets more exposure but the bottom is still good. Always include a privacy statement telling people exactly how you are going to use their email address and how you will keep it private, with all the talk about spam nowadays this is bound to reassure them, which in turn will increase the number of new subscribers.</p>
<p>Offer an incentive to your visitors. You should whenever possible offer them a free gift if they subscribe, such as a free report or Ebook. There a hundreds of free Ebooks which you can give away. You are bound to increase your sign-ups by doing this provided you offer them something related to your site&#8217;s theme. </p>
<p>Next you should submit your Newsletter to all the Newsletter directories you can find, there a plenty of them on the net, and some of them get really big traffic every month. If your articles are good quality and informative then newsletter and website publishers will be interested and your work could end up being published in endless newsletter editions and hundreds of websites. Not only will this increase your credibility, it could result in 1000&#8217;s more visitors, this is because at the end of all your articles which you allow others to publish will be a link back to your site. Don&#8217;t forget also if lots or your articles are published on websites then your link popularity will improve drastically. This will result in higher search engine rankings in Google and the other engines which use link popularity as a ranking factor, which or course means lots more visitors and profit for you.</p>

<a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The PPC affiliate</a></p>
<p>The need for an Ad Tracking program</p>
<p>There are two main factors that make an Ad effective – Content of the Ad and the sites where it is advertised. Most experts would agree that constant testing and experimenting is the only way to ensure that you get the right combination. However, the question arises – How do you test your Ads? An integral part of any advertising campaign is knowing which ads bring you the most visitors. After all, you may have banner ads, newsgroups ads, ads in newsletters and articles, ads in autoresponders, or a simple classified ad on a website. </p>
<p>Every marketer can only benefit by knowing:</p>
<p>?	which of the ads received the best response <br />
?	whether free classified sites are worth the effort <br />
?	which newsletters are the most profitable <br />
?	how a sponsored newsletter ad compares to the standard one <br />
?	whether animated banners are better than static ones <br />
?	how effective are your email ads<br />
?	does the ad at the start of an newsletter or article outperform the one at the end</p>
<p>Ad Tracking programs would answer all of these questions. They can help you analyze the effectiveness of every single ad and hence they should be an integral part of every marketing campaign. At the basic level an ad tracking program records when your URL has been clicked. It can detect where your visitor came from (the referring URL), the browser and operating system and the exact time. It can record total hits and unique hits (i.e. where one visitor may click several times). This data is kept in the system so you can then pull off reports on any ad campaign over any period e.g. by month, day or even by hour. </p>
<p>Types of Ad Tracking tools <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tips.htm' target='_blank'>Free the PPC affiliate Business</a></p>
<p>There are two types of Ad Tracking programs. However, the operation of both these types is the same. </p>
<p>CGI Script</p>
<p>You purchase these programs outright and it is installed on your site. If you have some technical knowledge you should be able to install it yourself otherwise the supplier will charge an installation fee. There are certain minimum software requirements for programs which run on your site, including access to the cgi-bin. Hence, most free sites would not be able to install CGI scripts. However, with CGI scripts your tracking URLs carry your own domain name. </p>
<p>Online Services</p>
<p>These programs operate completely independently from your site &#8211; no software installation or use of your system resources (such as disk space) is required. However, such programs run at the supplier site. You pay a rental (monthly or yearly) for the program. Thus, you are dependent on the supplier’s website for your ad tracking. Besides, your tracking URLs carry the supplier domain name. </p>
<p>The main difference between these types of ad tracking tools is the installation. For some businesses, running CGI scripts may be more advantageous, whereas for some online services would be more useful. </p>
<p>There are many Ad Tracking tools available at reasonable rates. Some of the most popular tools are discussed here.</p>
<p>Adminder (http://www.adminder.com)</p>
<p>This is an online service tool. AdMinder provides an ad tracking service that can be used with multiple websites. It provides the capability to track clicks, actions and sales. AdMinder provides reporting as well as the ability to export your data in CSV format, which you can use in MS Excel for additional analysis.</p>
<p>Some of its key features are:</p>
<p>?	Browser based service, so no installation required<br />
?	Works with all major web browsers<br />
?	Provides key financial stats<br />
?	Allow for Grouped Reports<br />
?	Unlimited Campaigns</p>
<p>
ProAnalyzer (http://www.proanalyzer.com)</p>
<p>ProAnalyzer Ad Tracking System is a CGI program that installs on your website&#8217;s cgi-bin directory and tracks your ad click-throughs and sales without paying a monthly fee. When a visitor enters your website from an ad URL, a cookie is placed on his web browser and a click-through is recorded. If the visitor purchases a product, that cookie is read on the Thank You page with the purchase total, and the sale is recorded for the ad that generated it.</p>
<p>You can track sales or results either by the campaign name, the revenue generated by a sale, or the action accomplished (lead generated, etc.). The Administration Area allows you to monitor each of your campaigns showing hits, sales, and the conversion rate for each. You can configure how the program calculates the conversion rate (by raw hits or unique hits) and how results are sorted.</p>
<p>There are lots of different ways to bring customers to your site. So far we’ve talked about search engines, banners, text links and even reminded you of some of the old-fashioned, offline methods you can use. </p>
<p>As you learn these methods and begin to put them in practice, it’s important to remember that no one method has all the answers. The best marketing campaigns are a combination of them all. </p>
<p>In the next chapter, we’re going to look at another exclusively online method of building a customer base—and making money: affiliate programs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now let&#8217;s add a character and actually walk around inside this room. This is where it starts to get fun! You can have something up and running in just a matter of minutes. <a href='http://awagames.page.tl/' target='_blank'>Lesson Free Games</a></p>
<p>Hit the tab called templates. </p>
<p>Directly underneath this tab, and a little way down the page is a dropdown box called &#8220;Entities&#8221; <br />
Pull down this menu and select Playersetup then hit enter on your keyboard. </p>
<p>This causes a small icon to appear in your room. This (Playersetup) gives your player all of its characteristics. </p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s place a player in the game. Reality factory already has pre-made players for you so all you have to do is place it in the game. <br />
Pull down the Entities menu again and select Playerstart. </p>
<p>Now click on your 3d view and look around. Near the floor a lightbulb has been placed in the room. THis is the player start. Hit Enter again and the lightbulb will change to a little red box that says player start. </p>
<p>This is your player! <br />
Now lets run this and take a walk around inside.  </p>
<p>Click the Build button. This takes the world you built and compiles it into an actual game world. <br />
Now a menu appears. Check the box called Preview in Reality Factory. and then hit OK. </p>
<p>The world is built and you now can take a walk around your new room! That didn&#8217;t take long did it. Reality Factory is an amazing tool that does all of the programming work for you. You can focus on the creativity of building a game. </p>
<p>Now You actually have your very first game and most of the hard work was actually already done for you. <a href='http://awagames.page.tl/Free-Play-Games-Online.htm' target='_blank'>Lesson Free Online Games Flash</a></p>
<p>This Reality Factory software is designed to do exactly that. It will do most of the hard work and leave the creativity to you. You will be free to design games and worlds. Let&#8217;s look at a screen shot of the one room game you built. This is the modern world of game design. All the hard work is done for you and you are left to do the creating! But as you get better you will be delving deeper into the game and you will be creating your own character, guns, weapons, and whatever else you can think of. But for now this is just a good start in your video game making. </p>
<p>Looks pretty good doesn&#8217;t it! You saw that you started the game up and had to choose a character and a name. Then you were popped right into the room you made. Right now you can see the shotgun I am holding and in the upper left you can see my health bar and in the upper right is my radar screen where I can see enemies. </p>
<p>To play you would use the left mouse to fire the shotgun and the W-A-S-D keys are for motion and the spacebar is for jumping. </p>
<p>The player start and player setup entities you dropped into the room were prefabrications and for now this is great because you can focus on designing games and leves. But of course this is just what came with the software and you can design your own characters and players with their own unique weapons and characteristics and put them in the game. But that will come with time and practice. For now this tutorial will focus on understanding how to use the desktop to design some nice looking game levels.</p>
<p>Now I recommend you review these lessons; start from the beginning and make another room. This is important because you need to do this without thinking about it. Build one or two more rooms and then run them. Try using different textures and see how it looks. </p>
<p>Once you have built another room or two then you can continue on with the lesson </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Write interactions with non-player characters <a href='http://awagames.page.tl/' target='_blank'>Keyboarding Free Online Games</a></p>
<p>Your game will probably involve interaction with non-player characters (NPC’s). You should write out the dialogue and flowchart the choices the game player can make. These interactions are often critical to the story and they can take the player on very different paths toward the conclusion of the game. </p>
<p>Write Cut scenes – Cut Scenes are short animations or movies that come before or after major plot points in your story. A cut scene should always be written to enhance or describe the story. A cut scene is also a reward given to the player for achieving a major milestone in game play. </p>
<p>Writing the actual storyboard script <br />
This is the final step in the whole video game script writing process and it is the most detailed. You do this step last because you need all the supporting materials to understand and describe this correctly. This part is very similar to that of a movie script. You progress through each scene of your story and you detail all the necessary information. Here is an example: <br />
Scene 1: <br />
Location: A dark cathedral with stained glass windows. An NPC is kneeling before a stone casket in the center of the main room  </p>
<p>Music: background music of an organ playing introduces the scene but subsides <a href='http://awagames.page.tl/Free-Play-Games-Online.htm' target='_blank'>Keyboarding Free Online Games</a><br />
Characters: Main player, NPC named Thomas <br />
Player Goal: Discover the location of the underground lair </p>
<p>Action: Player must initiate discussion with Thomas, upon first contact we activate cut scene (1) where Thomas morphs into a were-creature and summons his were-minions. Main character must battle the were-minions then re-initiate discussion with Thomas. <br />
Flowchart: No decisions made at this point: If battle is completed Thomas reveals the entrance to the underground lair and player advances to that level. If player is defeated in battle revert to death cut scene (11) and move to try again screen. <br />
Notes: Player is locked in the cathedral and there is no exit. The only viable way out is to initiate contact with Thomas. Random were-creatures can be activated if player explores cathedral before talking with NPC. </p>
<p>When writing a video game script you have to remember that your primary audience is not the game player but the game developer and what the developer needs is a complete picture of what your game is about. This means that you are not just writing a story but you are creating a world complete with a tone, sounds, characters, story, plot, and subplots. To successfully communicate this to the developer you need to use a whole set of creative tools and this is where video game scripts depart from normal scripts and open up a whole realm of creative possibilities. </p>
<p>How to Make a Video Game in One Hour – Really! <br />
Video game design software has taken a lot of the hard work out of making games and it has left the creative part up to you. There are software applications that will help you make a game quickly, easily, and in only one hour. </p>
<p>Make a two-dimensional side scrolling game <br />
This is your best option for making a full-fledged, and fully functioning, video game in an hour. The best software for this is the Games Factory 2 software available from a company called Click Team. They have a free download trial version of the software so you can give it a try before you purchase it. And it comes with a tutorial that takes you through all the steps of making a simple breakout style game. This is the kind of game where you control a paddle to deflect a bouncing ball in an attempt to break blocks on the top of the screen. I downloaded the trial software and followed the tutorial and it took me a total of an hour to complete the game. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It means customers—millions of them. </p>
<p>No other business tool can put the products you sell to so many people so easily. Nothing even comes close. <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The Google Adsense Recommended SEO</a></p>
<p>We’re talking about a potential market of 340 million people around the world who can buy your products 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you opened a store on your high street, how many people would walk past your window each month? If you live in Manhattan, maybe a few thousand. If you live in Los Olivos, Ca. maybe a few hundred. On the Internet, there’s no limit to the number of people you can bring through your store front wherever you live.</p>
<p>That’s the power of the Internet. That’s why my online business is bringing in between $1,500 and $2,000 every day. I bring in a lot of customers and I shift a lot of goods. </p>
<p>The right product sells itself</p>
<p>In fact, for many of my online businesses, my customers are my goods. When you join an affiliate program, you buy traffic from other sites and pass them onto your partners for a profit. In this book you’ll learn all about affiliate programs. It’ll show you how to build them, how to select your partners and how to turn your traffic into cash.</p>
<p>But traffic is just one kind of product on the Web. Information products are amongst some of the greatest money-spinners currently churning up dollars on the Net. And anyone can create an information product.</p>
<p>Imagine you know how to build a bookcase from scratch. That already makes you a lot more knowledgeable than me—the only thing I know about wood is that it looks great in my fireplace! Maybe one person in a thousand will want to know how to build the kind of bookcase you know how to build. If you’re not a well-known carpenter, no publishing company is going to touch you. It’s just not worth the marketing. On the Web, one person in a thousand gives you a potential market of 340,000 customers. If you write a book and sell it on the Web for just $10 per copy you could make as much as $3,400,000. All you have to do is tell people what you know—and tell them it’s out there. And that costs next to nothing.<br />
The eternal, changing business plan	<a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tools.htm' target='_blank'>Free the Google Adsense Recommended SEO</a></p>
<p>Of course, it’s communication that’s the key. The more people you can bring to your websites the more money you’re going to make. </p>
<p>You can have the greatest products in the world sold on the most beautifully designed site on the Web, but if no-one knows where it is, you’re just going to be wasting the twenty bucks or so you’re spending each year on the host.</p>
<p>There are a dozen different ways to bring people to your businesses. This book will discuss about the ones that are most effective. I’m sure there are other ways too. I’m sure you’ll find people who will tell you that this site is great or that method gave them results. Maybe they’re right, and you’re welcome to try them. What I can tell you is that I’ve tried a lot of different methods and these are the ones that worked for me.</p>
<p>That doesn’t necessarily mean that they will work for you. If there’s one piece of advice regarding online marketing that you learn from this book it’s that marketing has to be flexible. Like I said, I tried a dozen different methods. If I hadn’t kept a constant watch on how those methods were working, if I hadn’t dropped those that weren’t worth the effort and repeated my success with those that brought in cash, I’d still be sitting at my desk, wearing a tie and taking orders from my boss.</p>
<p>I’ll tell you about the methods that I found consistently effective. If they don’t work for your product, give it a little time then switch the methods around.</p>
<p>In the first chapter of this book, I’m going to explain exactly what you have to do to build a website—from selecting a host to mapping the design. Once you’ve got your site up, you have to bring traffic, and that’s what I look at next. I’ll reveal the secrets of successful search engine optimization, how to buy advertising that pays, and how to make the most of the millions of affiliate programs that will pay real dollars for users you’ve never met and never will.</p>
<p>I’ll also examine the various kinds of products you can create and sell online, and finally, I’ll show you how to put everything together to create a truly integrated business system that brings in real cash, hour after hour, day after day!</p>
<p>Making a fortune on the Web is easy. Simply read this book and employ the methods I teach. I know it works because I’ve done it. Whether you choose to do it too, is entirely up to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Before you even turn on your computer though, the first question you have to ask yourself is whether you’re cut out for this kind of work.</p>
<p>The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t for everyone. Some people like the commute. They enjoy having a boss who tells them what to do, and they like the routine of working nine-to-five for a bog-standard salary than can barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think they’re nuts. </p>
<p>More reasonably, <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The Adsense Marketing Tools</a> there are people who are concerned about the risk of starting up their own business. They’re not sure it’s worth the investment of time and money, and they’re scared of the responsibility that comes with running their own company. They wonder if there isn’t another way to escape the rat race.</p>
<p>I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or wait for your Aunt Betty to keel over and leave you her condo. Maybe you could sit down with a pen and paper and draw the blueprint for The Next Big Thing. Anything can happen. </p>
<p>For me, what happened was creating a successful, self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t happen without effort. It didn’t happen without at least some initial investment of both time and money. And it doesn’t happen now without me having to make sure that the taxes are filed and the paperwork done. But it happened. I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my business makes. If you’re prepared to give an e-business the time, the work and the money it needs to get started and get growing, it should happen for you too.<br />
The Internet—Your business tool</p>
<p>In effect, my system is built on three foundations: the Internet, marketing and the product. </p>
<p>In this book, we are going to look closely at each one of those. In particular, we’ll spend a lot of time talking about the marketing because this really is what the Internet does best.</p>
<p>Let’s just begin by taking a quick glance at why the Internet is the greatest business opportunity since the railroad.</p>
<p>The Internet actually started in 1969 as the ARPANET, a Defense Department system designed to let survivors share files after a nuclear attack. From a handful of top secret computers, it’s grown to fill more than 10 million hosts and millions of domain names. </p>
<p>And it’s still growing. According to a recent survey, the volume of Internet traffic is expected to double annually over the next five years. Consumers are expected to account for 60 percent of all Internet traffic over that period with the rest of the market made up of business users.</p>
<p>What does that mean for you? <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tips.htm' target='_blank'>The Adsense Marketing Tools Guide</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bait The Search Engines<br />
All it takes to get a search engine to your website is a link from another website that has already been indexed. The more popular the website, the quicker the search engines will come visiting. Another way is the blog and ping method, although this has been so abused that it&#8217;s not quite as quick as before. It does have one major advantage&#8230; <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The Google Recommended Earning</a> You can link to every page on your website from a blog and ping the search engines with these details. In some cases it&#8217;s possible to get all your pages indexed a little quicker than with other methods. No matter what method you use, it takes time to get every page of your website indexed by all the major search engines&#8230; It doesn&#8217;t happen in days like some sales hype suggests. So your options are: i. Purchase text links (which point back to your web pages) on a popular website. ii. Place a link back to your website from one of your own indexed web pages. iii. Learn how to start a blog and create content with links back to your website then ping the major search engines with your blog details. iv. Start an aggressive reciprocal linking campaign.</p>
<p>Explode Your Website&#8217;s Traffic<br />
The amount of money you earn from the Google Adsense ads displayed on any of your websites is dependant on the amount of traffic the websites receive. The more traffic, the more money you earn&#8230; It is possible to set up pay per click advertising campaigns which send traffic to your websites and make a profit on the Adsense revenue. It may be possible, but it&#8217;s not easy to find the right combination of cheap pay per click keywords and the best content for displaying high paying Adsense ads. By far the best method to increase your website traffic is to get hundreds or preferably thousands of links pointing back to your website which serves you in two ways.</p>
<p>i. The increased number of links improves your website&#8217;s standing in the eyes of the search engines and your pages rank higher. ii. You will get people visiting your website from clicking these links. Two very effective ways of getting thousands of links pointing back to your website are:</p>
<p> ii. As mentioned many times in this report, set up an aggressive reciprocal linking campaign; get your link into as many reciprocal link directories as you can. It is very important to ensure these directories are categorized, not only to facilitate easy searching but your search engine optimization gets a slight boost if your link appears on a page with links of similar themes. Use a reciprocal linking script to automate many of the routine admin tasks which would otherwise take up hours of your valuable time. If your income permits it, the ultimate is to employ somebody to manage your reciprocal linking campaigns while you concentrate on building more websites. N.B. &#8211; Don&#8217;t point all your links back to one page, the search engines don&#8217;t like that it&#8217;s unnatural&#8230; A major part of your linking campaign should be to get an even spread of links pointing back to all the major pages of your website. ii. Write short 400 word articles from your PLR content, include a link to your website in a resource box at the bottom of each article and submit them to as many article directories as you can. Using a low cost submission service like Article Marketer will save you not hours, but days of effort. These articles ultimately find their way onto hundreds of content websites and will substantially increase the number of links back to your website. <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tools.htm' target='_blank'>The Google Recommended Earning Guide</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Choosing a Web Hosting Company<br />
There are a few basic questions that if a Web hosting firm can not answer adequately then they should not be considered as a business-class Web hosting firm. All questions will affect the ability to host a growing and flourishing Web presence and ability to integrate with other systems and technologies and will affect the overall success of your Web-based business across all industries. </p>
<p><a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The Online Domains Business</a> The first questions deal with viability of the company and its technical arrangement and hierarchy to avoid down time. The next few questions deals with their ability to provide search engine friendly and google optimized sites and servers. The final is cost for bandwidth, server and staff capabilities.</p>
<p>I. Viability and Technical Hierarchy<br />
   a) Describe your upstream (backbones), backup strategies (Onsite and Offsite), operating systems and what is your downtime as a percentage?<br />
   b) Describe the server hardware.<br />
II. Search Engine &amp; Web Friendly Server-Sites<br />
   a) Do you host dynamic sites that are search spider friendly? Show examples.<br />
   b) Do you or existing customer own natural search, and pay per click, marketing key phrases. Show examples.<br />
   c) Do you have staff who are search marketing experts? Describe their experience. If not do you outsource this? To whom?<br />
III. Server &amp; Staff Capabilities<br />
   a) What program is used for Web site stats? Does it provide data about what search engines send traffic and what key-phrases are used to find the site? Does it proved error pages and other error trap information? Show examples.<br />
   b) Is the staff experienced in optimizing Web pages for the search engines?<br />
   c) What higher-level dynamic systems are supported on the servers and at what additional cost? What dynamic languages does the server support? (i.e. ASP, JSP, DotNet, PHP, ColdFusion, etc.) Is there available staff, and support, available for each, or any, of these languages? <br />
<a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tips.htm' target='_blank'>The Online Domains Business Search</a>  Check-off list:<br />
 Thursday:<br />
  &#8211; Choose an expanded primary key-phrase for the title of the release.<br />
  &#8211; Choose a list of key-phrases that include primary phrase and some that are variations thereof.  <br />
  &#8211; Draft a well-written release of about 300 to 500 words.<br />
 Friday:<br />
  &#8211; Submit the release in the morning bidding $80.<br />
  &#8211; When it is approved check on rating hoping for three out of five. The rating is in parentheses next to the word count. Re-write, and resubmit as necessary.<br />
  &#8211; Log into the system Add nine more industries to cover using the ‘Control’ (ctrl) key. <br />
  &#8211; Check your rank in the evening. IF you are not ranked three or better then increase your bid, contribution in $20 increments to get to third place.<br />
 Sunday:<br />
  &#8211; Check your ranking. If first place is around $200 then bid $201 minimum. If $200 does not get you to at least third place then reschedule the release for next Sunday, or increase your bid as your budget allows. This is your call. In my opinion it is well worth a thousand or more dollars for a top spot, but as entrepreneurs we can’t always make that happen. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no mystery to usability. It simply involves creating a site, <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The PPC Money Parking</a> which is accessible to the majority of people, is easy to use and get around and delivers on its promises. You can have a site that meets the most important standards of usability by planning it well and always keeping the end user in mind. Remember that web sites should not be designed for their owners &#8211; they should be designed for their users.</p>
<p>Problems with usability could be said to stem from just two sources: the site itself and the user. In fact the site is always at fault; if a user, however experienced or inexperienced, has problems navigating, getting information or understanding the site. </p>
<p>While websites have become far more complex, web users have become less rather than more experienced as more and more people go online. It is a mistake to think that the majority of users will be web or even computer savvy and will understand subtle clues about content. Most will not. <br />
Defining a Usable Site</p>
<p>A usable site will:<br />
?	Help users achieve a goal, usually to find something, such as information, or obtain something, such as a book. <br />
?	Make it easy for them to achieve that goal <br />
?	Make it possible to achieve the goal quickly <br />
?	Make achieving that goal a pleasant experience </p>
<p>A site will be generally usable if:<br />
?	The content is good and relevant <br />
?	The content is easy to find <br />
?	The content can be found quickly <br />
?	The page is pleasant to look at and cleanly designed <br />
Good Content</p>
<p>A site with good content, regardless of its subject, is one that provides products or information that is useful or beneficial to users. A good usable site will make it clear what information or content is available and at what price AND what is not available. A good usable site should define clearly all subscription packages offered. <br />
Ease of Access to Information</p>
<p>Good navigation, precise location indicators, secondary navigation, clear linked text and a well organized structure all contribute to making information easy to find for a wide range of different users. This is discussed earlier. </p>
<p>Bearing in mind that many users are inexperienced, it may be necessary to include explanations of things you consider self-explanatory. For example, an inexperienced user may need an explanation of how to use a drop down menu. <br />
Quick Access to Information</p>
<p>This is the aim of the majority of web users. It can be broken into two important aspects:</p>
<p>Speed of page loading </p>
<p>This requires, in particular, attention to images to ensure they are properly optimized and do not excessively delay load time. It may also mean breaking up long articles and ensuring that important content is at the top of the page where it will load first.</p>
<p>Speed of Access to content</p>
<p>This is where the much-vaunted 3-click rule comes in &#8211; no important content should be more than 3 clicks from the home page.  Some standards even say that it should be no more than two clicks. </p>
<p>One helpful way to speed access to content is to consider each type of user, select the content that they are most likely to be interested in and create links from the home page to one piece of content for each group. This will get them quickly to the appropriate part of the site. <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tips.htm' target='_blank'>Free the PPC Money Parking</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your IP Address is Your Email Identity<br />
A critical factor for the in-house marketer is the ability that you gain domain control and management. Your domain is a critical piece of the email communications puzzle. <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/' target='_blank'>The SEO Marketing</a> If somebody reports you as a spammer, they report your IP address, thus it is critical to avoid sharing IP’s with strangers and to manage IP’s effectively. Your email server should have the ability to use various IP addresses for various purposes. For new list signups, or optin&#8217;s, the IP address used should be a different address than those used to send email to long time list recipients. This ensures that the IP address used to send emails to long-term recipients is much less likely to be blacklisted as spam. This also empowers list managers with the ability to hold clean, or backup, IP addresses. </p>
<p>When you use an ESP you are likely sharing IP addresses with multiple, maybe thousands, of list managers. Many of whom are not concerned with keeping the ESP’s IP addresses from becoming blacklisted as spam. Some list management firms offer the ability to use separate IP addresses, however the cost is typically quite high. Your status as a valid sender of email is critical to your ability to deliver email messages. Also, to protect your reputation, email server technology should empower managers with the ability to easily implement popular identification protocols**.</p>
<p>List Hygiene: Keeping it clean</p>
<p>1) Email Capture<br />
There are various ways to validate email addresses. In addition to the time of capture many list mangers run validity checks on a recurring basis. Example: A Web browser placing an order with XYZ Company accidentally types “.con” rather than “.com.” A validation tool will inform the individual that email addresses cannot end with “.con” and the address is not valid. In addition, a validator will go one step further and ensure that the URL in the email address can actually receive email. This is not an exact science, but if it prevents losing a list recipient forever and ensures one less email bounce to a recipient Email provider then your reputation is better protected.</p>
<p>Bounce Processing<br />
Removing bounced email addresses from your list will ensure that your status as a valid sender of email is protected. Sending to non-existent addresses is a clear signal that you are a spammer and should be avoided. Many list systems do not allow for easy management of bounce data. There are thousands of different bounce types and most email servers do not allow the proper parsing of bounce data. Many times a soft bounce occurs since the email recipient’s inbox is full. Without proper bounce data processing this legitimate email recipient might be removed from your list. </p>
<p>A hard bounce is caused when the recipient server reports that the user does not exist and is almost always, sometimes automatically, removed from the list. Newer email server technology empowers marketers with the ability to interact with challenge bounces. These are bounces caused by spam systems that require a manual interaction in order to prove you are not a spammer. Existing email server technologies do not allow the ability to process this recipient and they will likely be lost. There are almost three thousand (3,000) defined bounce formats and your email server, or ESP, should have the ability to identify all types of bounced email. <a href='http://adds786on.page.tl/PPC-Tips.htm' target='_blank'>Free the SEO E-mail Marketing</a></p>
