		<description><![CDATA[ When I did my blog post about the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) last week , things looked quite grim. The fight isn&#8217;t over, but there&#8217;s been a lot of great developments in the last few days. If you&#8217;re not familiar with SOPA (and the PROTECT IP Act in the Senate), here&#8217;s a video that covers the basics: This internet censorship under SOPA editorial by Rebecca MacKinnon also describes why SOPA would be really bad for the internet. I also wanted to take a minute and thank everyone who called or wrote their Congressperson to speak out against SOPA and PROTECT IP. As a result of people speaking up in the last few days, a lot has happened: - Republican Representative Darrell Issa and Democratic Representative Nancy Pelosi came out against the bill . Rep. Issa said &#8220;I think it&#8217;s [SOPA] way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form.&#8221; - On the Senate side, Maria Cantwell, Jerry Moran, and Rand Paul all came out against PROTECT IP . - The European Parliament passed (by a large majority) a resolution criticizing SOPA . The resolution emphasizes &#8220;the need to protect the integrity of the global Internet and freedom of communication by refraining from unilateral measures to revoke IP addresses or domain names.&#8221; - Sandia National Laboratories, a part of the U.S. Department of Energy, concluded that the SOPA legislation would &#8220;negatively impact U.S. and global cybersecurity and Internet functionality.&#8221; Sandia joins Republican Representative Dan Lungren, who also worried that SOPA would undercut efforts to secure the internet with DNSSEC . The response from regular people has been just as incredible. Consider: - Tumblr made it easy for anyone to call their representative, resulting in over 87,000 calls to Congress . If you haven&#8217;t called yet, this page on Tumblr makes it easy to call your congressperson . - A ton of web users now have this issue on their radar. The Hill noted that &#8220;at one point on Wednesday four of the top 10 searches on Google were related to the bill. &#8216;Internet censorship&#8217; was still the second most searched-term as of Thursday evening.&#8221; - SendWrite offered a way to send a physical letter to Congress . SendWrite eventually had to put on the brakes after over 3000 people submitted letters to send. I think this overreach on SOPA will actually make the internet community much stronger . Let me tell you why. The forces in favor of SOPA have been outspending the tech industry almost 10 to 1 in Washington, according to a recent article in Politico . Here&#8217;s an image from that article that illustrates the vast gulf in spending: And members of Congress are not always the most tech-savvy: the Congressional Research Service tallies only six engineers in Congress . But if you look further out, the picture is quite different. In 20-25 years, a generation of &#8220;digital natives&#8221; who grew up with Facebook/Twitter, search engines, and cell phones will start entering Congress. The digital generation will protect technology like the internet from especially bad regulation. They&#8217;ll protect technology because they grew up with it and embrace it. So if we can make it through the next 20-25 years, the people in power will protect technology for us, not fear it. At least, I thought we&#8217;d have to wait 20-25 years before a critical mass of people would defend the net. But SOPA has brought that day a lot closer. SOPA galvanized the tech community, from start-ups to venture capitalists to the largest web companies . SOPA was an unexpected shock and a wake-up call. Well, guess what? Now the internet is awake. And I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going back to sleep any time soon. We might need to rally again in the near future, but we can do that. The internet learns fast. What you can do? - Sign up at American Censorship to send a note to Congress and get updates. - Call your congressperson with Tumblr&#8217;s easy web page . - I believe anyone inside or outside the United States can sign this White House petition . If you&#8217;re outside the United States, you can also sign this petition . - Follow groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on Twitter . - Sign up with United Republic , a new organization dedicated to the larger problem of money in politics. - Sign up to have Senator Ron Wyden read your name on the Senate floor when he filibusters against this legislation. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I sometimes hear people say &#8220;Remember when Google launched and the results were so good? Google didn&#8217;t have any spam back then. Man, I wish we could go back to those days.&#8221; I know where those people are coming from. I was in grad school in 1999, and I remember that Google&#8217;s quality blew me away after just a few searches. But it&#8217;s a misconception that there was no spam on Google back then. Google in 2000 looked great in comparison with other engines at the time, but Google 2011 is much better than Google 2000. I know because back in October 2000 I sent 40,000+ queries to google.com and saved the results as a sort of search time capsule. Take a query like [ buy domain name ]. Google&#8217;s current search results aren&#8217;t perfect, but the page returns several good resources as well as some places to actually buy a domain name. Here&#8217;s what Google returned for that query in 2000: URL_1:http://buy-domain-name.domain-searcher.com/domains/buy-domain-name.shtml URL_2:http://buy-domain-name.domain-searcher.com/buy-domain-name.shtml URL_3:http://buy-domain.domain-searcher.com/domains/buy-domain.shtml URL_4:http://buy-domain.domain-searcher.com/Map3.shtml URL_5:http://domain-name-broker.domain-searcher.com/domains/domain-name-broker.shtml URL_6:http://users5.50megs.com/buydomain32/ URL_7:http://users4.50megs.com/buydomain02/ URL_8:http://domain-name-service.domain-searcher.com/domains/domain-name-service.shtml URL_9:http://domain-name-service.domain-searcher.com/Map2.shtml URL_10:http://dns-id.co.uk/ Seven of the top 10 results all came from one domain, and the urls look a little&#8230; well, let&#8217;s say fishy. In 1999 and early 2000, search engines would often return 50 results from the same domain in the search results. One nice change that Google introduced in February 2000 was &#8220;host crowding,&#8221; which only showed two results from each hostname ( here&#8217;s what a hostname is ). Suddenly, Google&#8217;s search results were much cleaner and more diverse! It was a really nice win&#8211;we even got email fan letters. Unfortunately, just a few months later people were creating multiple subdomains to get around host crowding, as the results above show. Google later added more robust code to prevent that sort of subdomain abuse and to ensure better diversity. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s pretty much a wash now when deciding whether to use subdomains vs. subdirectories . Improving search quality is a process that never ends. I hope in another 10 years we look back and say &#8220;Wow, most queries were only a few words back then. And we had to type queries. How primitive!&#8221; Mostly I wanted to make the point that Google looked much cleaner compared to other search engines in 2000, but spam was absolutely an issue even back then. If someone harkens back to the golden, halcyon days when Google had no spam&#8211;take those memories with a grain of salt. ]]></description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking forward to increasing online sales? You might have already heard that Pay Per Click advertisements is just what you need, but you are afraid its gonna cost you a fortune.</p>
<p>So how can you use this powerful advertising tool to create an automated income stream without riding a steep and expensive learning curve? If you are anxious to know how you can get pay per click advertising to work for you, here are three key principles which you will need to win.</p>
<p>First of all, in order to set up a great PPC ad, you need to think of relevancy. Imagine, you are going to pay money for every single click on your ad. You definitely dont want people not to find what they were searching for.</p>
<p>Make sure you dont make a very common mistake of selecting too general keywords, which generate a lot of traffic, but no conversions. It is a very right way to go broke. Instead, select very specific keywords and phrases that would correspond best to what your offering is, in this way you will be generating sales.</p>
<p>The next principle is the ability to create urgency. Not always people want to buy your product exactly the moment you are offering it to them. Probably, they would like to conduct some research, compare different options etc. Could happen, by the time they are ready to take action and purchase, your ad is no longer there. This is why creating urgency is so essential when it comes to sales.</p>
<p>The third principle of PPC advertising is testing. Testing is very often neglected, but it is not possible to improve something which cant be measured. So, when you set up your ad campaign, have some pages to rotate and determine which one has better results. Try to test only one variable at a time, like only headlines, or only headings, otherwise it will be hard to see which one really make the difference.</p>
<p>Treat Pay Per Click campaigns just like any other marketing campaign, like an ongoing process, involving testing and adaptation to the public behavior. The truth is, you may think whatever you want about your ads, but it is audience which determines if it will have success or not.</p>
<p>Put these principles into practice and you will create a great and effective PPC campaign which will take you business to another level.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There has been argument for years about the pluses and minuses of Pay-per-click (PPC) as opposed to Search engine optimization (SEO) &#8211; with many people holding strong viewpoints for and against both. This is a massive topic &#8211; way too much to handle fully in this post, but I&#8217;ll summarise the highlights and present my point of view about the topic. Some Paid advertising perks</p>
<p>Speedy outcomes &#8211; can often start seeing results within just hours (or perhaps minutes) of activating a campaign</p>
<p>Only pay when a user clicks</p>
<p>Fairly easy to target the Keywords and phrases you would like</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t necessarily need to adjust your site</p>
<p>Excellent Tracking capabilities (making it simple to observe, measure, modify and enhance)</p>
<p>You get to determine where users go (you designate the website landing page)</p>
<p>Can focus on precise regions/localities for your ad to be displayed</p>
<p>Achieve first page visibility easily (although not necessarily cheaply)</p>
<p>PPC can be a very effective way to get exposure for an internet site (particularly a new site). However when you stop paying, your ads stop being displayed, and the visitors stop coming &#8211; there may be few long term benefits. Pay per click is comparatively quick and easy to setup &#8211; but remember that it is also simple for your rivals &#8211; if they have deeper pockets, they might ultimately win.</p>
<p>As long as you understand what a click is worth to you, and are assured that the rewards outweigh the expense, Pay per click can be very effective. You wouldn&#8217;t for example mind if it costs you $2,000 (or more) a day provided that it generates $5,000.</p>
<p>PPC is amongst the few ways a completely new site could get seen in the search results and start to build traffic (and income) while the long run Search engine optimization methods kick in. The statistics generated from a PPC Campaign (such as which key phrases are converting) can also be a very useful way to obtain information for an SEO campaign.</p>
<p>Search engine optimisation Benefits</p>
<p>Below are some of the positive factors of Search engine optimisation:</p>
<p>Guests coming from Natural Search are Totally free</p>
<p>The rankings a website achieves by means of SEO can persist for a long time after the effort has been finished</p>
<p>On-page changes (that are almost certainly necessary for Search engine optimisation) can help strengthen conversions as well as traffic</p>
<p>In general more searchers click the organic search engine results (88%) versus the pay-per-click ads (12%), so you may well get a lot more visitors from Organic results.</p>
<p>Users generally believe Natural Search engine results have got a higher &#8220;trust&#8221; level</p>
<p>Of course Search engine optimization is not free &#8211; it needs work and expense, frequently over a long period. In some reasonably competitive niches it can be very difficult (or even impossible) to accomplish top 10 rankings, but in most niches you&#8217;ll be able to reasonably easily achieve respectable rankings and traffic. As far as I am concerned, it&#8217;s the user that needs to be in the middle of any Search engine optimization strategies. Virtually whatever you do to improve the end user experience is likely to boost your search engine rankings and conversion rates (and in the long run enhance income/inquiries)</p>
<p>Both Pay per click and Search engine optimisation have their pros and cons and depending on your specific circumstances, one or the other (or even both) could be best for your needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Know-how to create different presentations of content that is usually a hypertext or hypermedia, is delivered to end users via the Internet (World Wide Web) has become known as Web design.</p>
<p>Designing a website is an art and it should be presented in an aesthetically pleasing form. A website is a collection of electronic documents and applications that are present on the web. These websites present a variety of content and interactive features in the form of web pages.</p>
<p>Web design is a kind of graphic design made for development and styling of objects on the internet&#8217;s environment. Web designing involves display of complex media like graphics, animation, videos and sounds. All this requires plug-ins like Java, Adobe and Quick Time. Plug-ins is also enclosed in web pages by the use of HTML and XHTML tags.</p>
<p>The websites have web pages classified into static and dynamic. Static pages never change the content and layout, unless a programmer updates the page. Example of a static web page is a simple HTML page.</p>
<p>Dynamic pages change their content and appearance depending on end user input or changes in the computing environment, such as time and changes in the data. The contents of a dynamic page can easily be changed using scripting languages such as Java Script, Action Script, DHTML etc to change. Dynamic content is prepared on the server using a server side scripting language.</p>
<p>Web designing is a complex and very important activity these days. Web designing goes through a plan to see what is needed in the website before uploading it, after considering the target audience.</p>
<p>The aspects of design in websites are the content, usability, appearance and visibility. Content includes the information which is relevant to the site; usability of the website includes the aspects which are user friendly. The graphics and text should include a single style which is appealing and relevant covering the appearance. In the end it should be easily visible so that it is easily found by search engines and media firms.</p>
<p>The first page of a web site is called the Home Page or the Index Page. Some of the websites use what is known as a Splash Page.</p>
<p>Many companies offer services in web design market worldwide. Digital spark in London is one of those who plan to design a website with a strategic focus. The placement of the images and the use of colors helps to promote the success of a particular website. Each site is like a book and web page as a page of a book.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In online marketing business like affiliate marketing, no traffic means no sales. That&#8217;s the reason why most affiliates or webmasters easily shell out even big bucks just to get top rankings on the search engines. Once you are promoting a product or service in you web page, you need to have more visitors that can be potential consumers to your products and services. This is one of the fundamental rules to succeed in online marketing business. Here, you just need to start and get it right and you can do some things wrong but still manage to succeed. Don&#8217;t ever try to get it wrong because no matter how hard you work, you can never find yourself on the way to success.</p>
<p>I guess everyone will agree if I said that obtaining enough highly targeted traffic is the key to success in affiliate marketing business. This method is proven to be effective if you&#8217;re promoting or reselling product or service online. One of the best and most secured marketing strategies that affiliate marketers can employ is the strategy of paying for performance. This means that your investments are used only on results such as additional sales and incomes.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a practical example. Paying for performance could mean giving a commission to a sales person only when new sale is made. This strategy assures you real profit because you can already compute the amount money you have to spend for every new sale made. Also, you can avoid spending any marketing bucks because every cent you use up has either come from sale or will generate a sale in the future.</p>
<p>And one of the proven and most efficient ways of acquiring sales in affiliate marketing business is by drawing laser-targeted traffic towards your web site and converting them to sales by means of &#8220;Pay-Per-Click&#8221; Search Engines (PPCSEs).</p>
<p>Overture claims to be the Internet&#8217;s best pay-per-click search engine. It is the world&#8217;s leading resource of Pay-For-Performance search on the web. And what&#8217;s more enticing about Overture? When you advertise in Overture Premium Listings, your site will absolutely appear in the leading U.S. search engines like Yahoo, InfoSpace, MSN, Netscape, AltaVista, Lycos and more. Plus, you can get the benefit of reaching more than 80% of active Internet users.</p>
<p>PPCSEs like Overture can bring impressive sales because they permit you to pay for performance by means of attracting precisely targeted traffic to your niche. And this means people or site visitors who are actively searching for what precisely you are offering or selling. Overture&#8217;s secret is to drive laser-targeted traffic to your website by proposing or bidding on keywords that are related to the product or services that you are offering. And this strategy works this way: the more exact the keyword is, the better results you&#8217;ll receive and the less you&#8217;ll have to spend for each new sale.</p>
<p>Overture drives targeted traffic by keeping you away from the general keywords that are very common and usually come expensive and by casting a wide net of laser-focused keywords that are more targeted, not so expensive, and with high conversion rate. I&#8217;ll tell you, attracting laser-targeted traffic through Overture is nothing but a &#8220;Win-Win&#8221; Situation.</p>
<p>Overture&#8217;s strategy also allows your visitors to respond. And what&#8217;s important once you get your visitors to respond? Well, you are given a chance to develop lifetime customers that will patronize your product and will buy from you over an over again. Bear in mind that one-time sales can&#8217;t be a key in creating a highly-profitable business especially online. You can only achieve this through PPCSEs like Overture, which gets your site visitors to respond. And once it happens, you can constantly market and sell your products to them.</p>
<p>Another tactic that Overture uses in order to gain laser-targeted traffic is to have a &#8220;Back-Up Response&#8221; for those who &#8220;almost bought&#8221; your product on the first visit. To successfully realize this, you need to market and advertise to them over and over again until you make them a new customer. Offer them an incentive so that they&#8217;ll allow you to advertise to them over a certain time span by means of e-mail or post mail. Here are some of the back-up responses which you can use: send a free e-mail newsletter, give a free catalog and offer a promo or sweepstakes which gives them the chance to win free merchandise.</p>
<p>Other things that will surely attract lifetime customers to your site are offering valued customer discounts, giving seasonal and special offers especially to your repeat customers and any other incentives to purchase. Don&#8217;t get me wrong with this; the abovementioned strategies can surely develop a trusted relationship between you and your customers. Aside from patronizing your products over their lifetime, they may even refer others to you or to your site.</p>
<p>To sum up, one of the most effective and secured marketing strategies that any businessman can utilize particularly those who are involved in online marketing is the approach of only paying for performance. And one of the most helpful online strategies to create more sales is by pulling laser targeted traffic towards your website and converting them to sales by means of Pay-Per-Click Search Engines like Overture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>E-Commerce question marks giant step in anyone&#39;s mind when he presented for the first time on the market. E-Commerce, which is a short form of electronic commerce, also known as E-business: the sale of goods and services for electronic systems as the most popular &#8211; the Internet. Widespread use of Internet has contributed to the growth of online commerce, in large part.</p>
<p>Electronic Commerce activities are carried out in different ways. One way famous ever since is innovation in electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, internet marketing, automated data collection and many more. Very early examples of many to much more electronic commerce in physical products were Boston Computer Exchange; this was a market place for used computers which were launched in the year 1982. Another was the American Information Exchange, which was an early online information marketplace introduced in the year 1991.</p>
<p>Over the last three decades the entire meaning and importance of e-commerce has not only changed but has also been enhanced. In the early days when e-commerce was just introduced, it involved the facilitation of commercial transactions electronically. The technologies then used were Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). Credit cards, automated teller machines (ATM) and telephone banking in the 1980s were also the forms of electronic commerce; these later on became famous and widely accepted.</p>
<p>Bigger portion of e-commerce is conducted entirely electronically for virtual items such as access to content on the internet website. Online retailers are also known as e-tailers and the retail conducted online is known as e-tail.</p>
<p>B2B which stands for Business-to-Business is electronic commerce which is conducted between two businesses or business men. B2B is open to parties which deal with commodity exchange, is also available to parties who are limited to specific details or pre qualified participants. B2C on the other hand is electronic commerce that is conducted between businesses and consumers.</p>
<p>Modern electronic commerce uses the World Wide Web at least at some point in the transaction&#8217;s cycle. The World Wide Web which is abbreviated as WWW, which is commonly called Web is a system consisting of interlinked hypertext documents accessed through the Internet.</p>
<p>Many companies offer these services. Digital Spark, based in UK (London), provides tools and resources required for website and e-commerce project management. After a planned layout, this company manages and implements the entire web campaign for successful running of the business.</p>
<p>E-Commerce helps increase sales, and decrease costs. In turn profits are increased. The size of the market expands from regional to national or international. This also helps in focusing on selected group of customers. Therefore we know that E-commerce has its many advantages helping the business worldwide.</p>
