Issues on Privacy Concerns on Facebook
It seems that you can barely log into the internet today without finding dire warnings about the privacy of your FaceBook account. Hundreds (and possibly thousands) of users have declared May 31, 2010 as “Leave FaceBook Day”. Since the dawn of the internet, privacy has been a concern. However, if you put a google search in for “Facebook Privacy Concerns” it returns 17,400,000 results while Twitter returns 15,500,000 results and LinkedIn at the bottom of the pile returns 667,000 results.
In a viewpoint, Facebook is approximated to have the largest number of users among the three. And truthfully, the three (although often lumped together) are really different and have different audiences. With that said, how concerned should you be about your FaceBook security?
Well, like anything else that’s on the internet, it’s not hack-proof. Even the strongest privacy policy isn’t going to protect you if someone really wants to get at your information. Changes on the privacy policy on Facebook however seem to be on a craze and they don’t really mind how many protests they receive, it is more like a “woops” to them. Then there is the audacity of Facebook founders to tell you that having multiple “online” identities is displaying unethical behavior? He’s simply letting you know that your account for business and personal account on Facebook must be one and the same or you don’t have the ethics. And the answer to that?
Probably not – most of us tend to like to keep our “personal” and our “business” lives (especially online) separate as much as possible. I mean seriously – do your children really care if the company that you are promoting has already reached 1000 blog readers? Do those people who follows your company really need to know that your grand daughter is a part of a cheerleading tournament? Probably the answer to both of these is “not so much”.
Given the number of issues that have come around you’ll find hundreds of articles including a very interesting one from the New York Times where they referred to FaceBook privacy options as “A Bewildering Tangle of Options”. Unless you are willing to spend the time to verify all of these potential options, you might just want to rethink your FaceBook account. However, keep something else in mind – deleting your FaceBook account borders on amusing and is certainly confusing for most.
- Words of Caution:
* Disabling your Facebook account and deleting it are NOT the same thing!
* Links shared by other users after you posted them don’t get removed
* Photos that you shared who others shared don’t get removed
* There are other restrictions that can still cause you privacy issues.
* If you get through the delete process and don’t stay out of Facebook it negates the entire process!!
With that here are some options to help:
* A 33 slide show on how to lock down your privacy at Facebook
* Video instructions on how to delete your Facebook account
* Make sure you read some of the information and make an informed decision.

Tips to Market at Flickr
Ready to shine on Flickr? Here are some tips on how to go about it:
1. Build up a portfolio of quality photos. Most Flickr users have an eye and taste for quality. Many of them will certainly ignore email marketing efforts based on poor photos. Hire a photographer, buy the best camera, or capture images powered by enchanting concepts. By whatever means possible, half of the email marketing challenge is solved when the photos are there.
2. Tag for searchability. Flickr, like almost all online community sites, rely heavily on search tags to bring results to users. The most appropriate keywords should be used as descriptive tags to bring in the target audience. Further to this, keyword analysis should be conducted, to appropriately modify tags to suit the search patterns of users.
3. Organize photos properly into collections, for ease of access by users, who can click on the photo galleries based on themed groupings descriptive of actual content.
4. Grab attention with attractive thumbnails. From the photo collection, the best images should be selected as thumbnails, those tiny visual teasers that lure users to peruse the rest of the collection.
5. Regular photo updates. As in blogs and websites, frequently refreshing content builds reputation for being a reliable and consistent source of fresh images, with the possibility of being visited more often or linked to by other blogs and websites.
6. Treat Flickr as a social media playground. That means joining relevant groups and sharing tips, news and photos with the community. This builds relationships and reputation, and widens email marketing coverage further.
Summing up how to make email marketing work in Flickr, it takes nice quality photos, the will to keep going by regularly updating fresh content, and socializing with the Flickr community, to really reap the rewards of the email marketing campaign.

Can You Afford To Miss Out The Twitter Traffic Train?
Twitter Traffic is an outstanding way to drive targeted traffic to your Website. You shouldn’t forget about other traffic sources but using Twitter is completely free and will definitely get a few more targeted visitors to your Website.
You got me right, I said „free targeted visitors” in the last sentence. A never ending stream of visitors will make your pockets full of money. There are lots of ways for you getting free traffic to your Website. But there is a big difference between free traffic and targeted traffic.
You might have heard about offers sending out thousands of visitors to your Website from several traffic generating Websites. These offers are good to give your traffic stats a push but you won’t actually generate a sale or find a prospect for your product. Visitors sent to you by free traffic Websites will usually leave your Website within seconds.
Targeted visitors instead are interested in the product or information you are offering on your Website, ready to break out their credit card! With my article I show you the Twitter strategy, getting targeted visitors ready to take action. It’s easy to do and is not even time consuming.
First thing you will have to do is to create a twitter account. I recommend not using your personal twitter account. If you have different niche Website create a single twitter account for every niche Website you have. Please don’t leave the default twitter avatar and background, choose an avatar and background image that fits your product or info best, because it will show your followers that you care about your account.
The next thing you will have to do is to deliver content – niche relevant quality content. Most of the content you will provide is created by others and will never include references to your own stuff. This may sound counter productive, but here’s why we will do it.
We want to supply as much quality content as we can to our followers and unless you create lots of crappy content or outsource your content creation you just don’t have the time and money to create all that quality content on your own in a short period of time. You will look like a spammer when you tweet only your own stuff every time. People will stop following you when you act like a spammer. By the way, „The short messages you send out with your Twitter account are called “tweets”.
Second thing of the process is to build a landing page or helpful blog post about your niche. This part will be the most important and you really do need to make sure to provide high quality content. But where do you find your niche relevant content ? Simply google for RSS feeds for your niche content, copy the link of the feed and paste the link of the RSS feed to your landing page or blog post. Make sure to select high quality RSS feed content. That will make your followers trust you. To click your links in the future it’s very important that your visitors trust you. The links you place in your landing page or blog post is the source to monetize the traffic you are getting from Twitter. The MOST IMPORTANT idea behind is that you place links to your products or information you want to share or sell. The text in the displayed link should contain a strong anchor text that will call to action and make them click the link that will lead them to your „money site”. Here you offer your product or information you want to sell or share.
So, the most important thing is to put a link to your money site at the end of your landing page or blog post. Make sure the link contains a strong call to action. The last part of this process will be to collect an email address from your visitors or to get in touch through a contact form or to even make the sale. Because now you are having a targeted visitor on your Website seeking for information. To catch their email address offer a free niche relevant ebook or report through an optin form. Once you have your visitors email address you can add it to your email list and feed them with any information or products of your choice any time you like. Only imagination can make you stop. To automate your info or product emails simply use an autoresponder of your choice. Your email list will be growing and growing.
Every tweet you are posting will be of very high quality and will make your followers to trust you. When people trust you enough they will make your tweets go viral and at this point magic happens.
So, the most important thing is to put a link to your money site at the end of your landing page or blog post. Make sure the link contains a strong call to action.
That pretty much is it. Getting started won’t cost you a dime. Once you get used to the process this shouldn’t take more than about 20 minutes a day. Give it a try, it’s an excellent way to drive targeted traffic to your Website.
Twitter As A Sales Tool: Tweak Your Sales through Tweets

However, despite the many options available for e-Marketers, Twitter proves itself to be one of the best solutions to get promotional messages across consumers all over the world.
This is where you, the internet marketer, come in. By tapping into any of these sources, you can easily provide a lot of exposure to your products. However, of these methods, social media, especially Twitter, is the best way to shine the limelight on what you have to offer.
- Why Twitter?
Here are some statistics that will help you understand why Twitter is the tool for you:
* Twitter has more than a 100 million registered users.
* The social media website is growing by 300,000 users per day on average.
* Aside from Twitter’s users, about 180 million unique visitors hit the site on a monthly basis.
These numbers sure do make your mouth water, don’t they? Just picture at least 1% of Twitter’s users heading in your direction i.e. 100,000 users. Of these, even if 1% of that amount (100 users) buys what you are selling, you will be able to have a considerable amount of profits by the end of the month.
Besides that, managing and using twitter is a simple process. All you will need to do is tweet your promotional message whenever you want to. Compare this to writing long blogs and having to put your writing skills to the test – tweets surely take a load off your mind, don’t they? Besides, you won’t need to pay a single dime! You can message the whole world and pay nothing at all!
- How Twitter Can Increase Your Sales
There are so many ways that Twitter can boost your sales. One of the first ways Twitter does that is by providing traffic to your website. Imagine tweeting a message with a link to your website, and then having at least a hundred followers re-tweet it onto their profiles. Your URL will spread online like a rocket ship at take off. In addition, with many people visiting your website, your search engine ranking will increase. Thus, you will be visible to those who aren’t using Twitter. Two birds with one stone!
Another way of increasing your website’s traffic (which in return leads to sales) is by tempting your followers. Everyone loves free things and will do anything to get them. By tweeting a competition or a sale, you will have many users try to fight their way through the online crowd to get to your website before everyone else.
You can also boost your sales by getting feedback from your followers. From time to time, you will have devoted followers provide you with constructive feedback. By using that, you will be able to assess your product’s weaknesses and strengths. Hence, you will be able create a solution to solve the weak points and focus on improving the strong points. This can ensure you of having more people like your product and eventually buy it.
There are also so many other ways such as following other Internet marketers in order to promote one another, and finding people who can help join your network to advertise your product. Regardless of what you choose, you can rest assured that you will have a thick wad of cash enter your pockets in a very short time.
So, if you’re interested in simplifying the already easy process of network marketing, all you will need is a Twitter account and a few effective promotional messages. After getting these, simply let the blue birdie take care of the rest.

How has the Internet Developed into Web 2.0?

How has the Internet Developed into Web 2.0?
The term Web 2.0 was coined in 1999 by Darcy DiNucci, a consultant on electronic information design in her article “Fragmented Future” and became closely associated with Tim O’Reilly who used it in a Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004 to describe the future, as he saw it, of the World Wide Web. The term, seen by many as misleading, stuck. Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the web, labeled the term “a piece of jargon.” Although the term Web 2.0 implies a new or updated version of the World Wide Web this couldn’t be further from the truth. There were, and have not been, any technical updates to the Web.
So what is Web 2.0? It actually refers to websites and web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability and user-centered design.
* What is Interactive information sharing?
A great example of interactive information sharing is Social Media websites. People use websites like Facebook, MySpace, YouTube and WordPress – to name but a few, to share information in the form of photos, music, photos – in fact, anything digital. The great thing about these mediums is that once the information has been published it is available around the world. Some of this will be in the public domain, like blogs for example and some will be kept only for confirmed friends and family – like Facebook. This form of sharing falls into one of the four Sharing design patterns: one-to-one sharing, one-to-many sharing, many-to-many sharing, and many-to-one sharing. Technologies that meet all four of these design patterns include blogs, wikis, really simple syndication (RSS Feeds), tagging, and chat.
* What is Interoperability?
Interoperability refers to systems that work together or that inter-operate. James A. O’Brien and George M. Marakas define interoperability as: Being able to accomplish end-user applications using different types of computer systems, operating systems, and application software, interconnected by different types of local and wide area networks. A good example of interoperability is the use of XML or Extensible Mark-up Language. XML is a generic format intended for maximum flexibility to provide information in a wide variety of structural formats. It is not dependent on any particular platform (Windows, Mac, Linux or Unix for example) and is therefore inter-operable. In fact RSS feeds are a very good example of being able to present data in a format that can be interpreted on just about any platform, even mobile phones. This is interoperability.
* What is User-centered design?
User-centered design is a process in which the needs, wants, and limitations of end users of a product are given extensive attention at each stage of the design process.
This is a multi-stage problem solving process that involves testing how users will use a product. It is multi-staged because every interface design has to be tested; this is based on what a first-time user of their design experiences. If a developed and designer of a product do not go through this process, users may not intuitively understand how the product works. To provide true user-centered design, it is necessary for these products to have changeable user interfaces that is appropriate to each user-class. User-centered design of a web site, for instance, seeks to answer the following questions:
- Who are the users of the document?
- What are the users’ tasks and goals?
- What are the users’ experience levels with the document, and documents like it?
- What functions do the users need from the document?
- What information might the users need, and in what form do they need it?
- How do users think the document should work?
So the term Web 2.0 is more about the development of the technologies used on the web rather than the web itself.
These developments are based on user experience and user expectations. The freedom of communicating with friends regardless of time and distance, and the ability to share anything in digital format are the expectations that have led us from Web 1.0 and static web pages to Web 2.0 where we can create our own interfaces for our social websites and share our videos with friends and family on the other side of the world.
Issues on Privacy Concerns on Facebook

Hundreds (and possibly thousands) of users have declared May 31, 2010 as “Leave FaceBook Day”. Since the dawn of the internet, privacy has been a concern. However, if you put a google search in for “Facebook Privacy Concerns” it returns 17,400,000 results while Twitter returns 15,500,000 results and LinkedIn at the bottom of the pile returns 667,000 results.

Then there is the audacity of Facebook founders to tell you that having multiple “online” identities is displaying unethical behavior? He’s simply letting you know that your account for business and personal account on Facebook must be one and the same or you don’t have the ethics. And the answer to that?
Probably not – most of us tend to like to keep our “personal” and our “business” lives (especially online) separate as much as possible. I mean seriously – do your children really care if the company that you are promoting has already reached 1000 blog readers? Do those people who follows your company really need to know that your grand daughter is a part of a cheerleading tournament? Probably the answer to both of these is “not so much”.
Given the number of issues that have come around you’ll find hundreds of articles including a very interesting one from the New York Times where they referred to FaceBook privacy options as “A Bewildering Tangle of Options”. Unless you are willing to spend the time to verify all of these potential options, you might just want to rethink your FaceBook account. However, keep something else in mind – deleting your FaceBook account borders on amusing and is certainly confusing for most.
- Words of Caution:
* Disabling your Facebook account and deleting it are NOT the same thing!
* Links shared by other users after you posted them don’t get removed
* Photos that you shared who others shared don’t get removed
* There are other restrictions that can still cause you privacy issues.
* If you get through the delete process and don’t stay out of Facebook it negates the entire process!!
With that here are some options to help:
* A 33 slide show on how to lock down your privacy at Facebook
* Video instructions on how to delete your Facebook account
* Make sure you read some of the information and make an informed decision.

More than 5,000 years ago, in the ancient mystery schools of Egypt, the mental and spiritual laws and principles of success were taught to students who dedicated their entire lives to learning the “Esoteric Arts.”
One of these “secrets” was the Law of Attraction, which said that your mind is a magnet and that you invariably attract into your life people and circumstances in harmony with your dominant thoughts, especially those that are emotionalized.

Be careful when converting your company name / brand name into an (available) domain name; it can have embarrassing repercussions. Imagine seeing a web address like, arsecommerce.com. This domain name may appear rather ordinary to us Americans. But to those who speak “the Queen’s English” – including those in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand – I bet they get a chuckle when they see it. You can imagine them thinking to themselves “Is this the company that put the “arse” in commerce?”. The company is ARS Ecommerce, not Arse Commerce.

I recently posted an article and reviewd how to find a need for the online shoppers. I even showed how there is a lot of ball-dropping. Fortunately, it can all be corrected to give yourself a leg up on the competition. Here are some more tips:
• Search is fundamental. Be there at every entry point possible.
• The landing page is crucial. You should have a landing page relevant to the search term.

Three-quarters of online shoppers surveyed said website content is insufficient to complete research or purchase a product online always, most, or some of the time. Nearly 80 percent rarely or never purchase a product without complete information, and 72 percent will take off to a competitor that does supply that information.
It seems that consumers really want to buy online, but retailers aren’t making it easy for them. Sometimes, it seems like retailers go out of their way to lose customers.
Having a website that effectively communicates your image can be a rewarding and profitable experience if you follow five basic concepts:
1. Know you Audience, you can be proud of your site but remember, it’s the customer who buys. You are designing your website and logo for your customers, not for yourself. Your likes and dislikes may be similar to your clients’ likes and dislikes, but since they come first, your website and logo should reflect what they need and will respond to.
Since business may soon be tougher, it’s critical for entrepreneurs to take steps to up-end any damage that could happen as a result of a recession.
The secret to weathering a particularly nasty economy is to diversify your customer base, free up cash flow and cut costs where you can. Here are some steps for recession-proofing your business: If three employees are doing the job of one, you may need to make job cuts. Additionally, if you have two product lines and one is successful while the other one isn’t, consider selling off that division. When times are tough, it’s best to focus on core markets and spend money in those areas, not in areas that haven’t been more profitable.
WordPress is the most visible of the CMS’ “Content Management Systems” and performs to a SEO dream. Since WordPress 2.5, things have changed markedly.
Since version 2.5 there’s been a wealth of feature expansion in the core application, the availability of plugins, expanding core functionality, and the advent of professionally designed Themes that have taken WordPress to new heights. All of this has allowed WordPress to blossom into a fully-matured CMS with exceptional Search Engine Optimization features.
Here are 10 of the most prominent among the many opportunities to achieve this individualizing your pages:
I was inspired by this and wanted to share it with you, an article from the famed sales guru, Brian Tracy…
When Vince Lombardi took over the Green Bay Packers some years ago, he was asked what he was going to change. The players? The plays? The training process? How was he going to turn this team around after a string of failures?
Still feeling a little frustrated getting started on E-Bay? Don’t feel too bad, recent changes like “Detailed Seller Ratings (DSR)” and “discounts for sellers,” have made it challenging for even the experienced sellers.
To some, the changes didn’t sound like anything to be concerned about, but some saw through the plan and noticed other phrases in there, like “removal of bad feedback for buyers” and saw the potential for smaller businesses to be shut out.
