Stagnant sites are dropped by some search engines. You can even put a date counter on the page to show when it was last updated.<br /><br />Offer additional value on your website. For affiliates and partners you can place links to their sites and products and ask them to do the same for you. You can also advertise their books or videos, if these products relate to your industry and are not in competition with your own product.<br /><br /><a href="http://ideas4rent.com/BlogArticles/webtraffictips.htm">Click this link to read the rest of the tips.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4419552092819220"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel ="1314225384"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8600803-3644354624406678728?l=ideas4rent.blogspot.com'/></div>Don MacLeod, Ideas4Rent Marketingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600803.post-20851164569143973222009-01-04T20:54:00.003-05:002009-01-24T15:13:28.816-05:002009-01-24T15:13:28.816-05:00In any kind of business, marketing is such an important tool in the growth and development of a business or any kind of financial venture.<br /><br />For this reason, even with the technology that covers online businesses, still, it need highly revolutionized and very effective marketing strategy in order to boost their productivity and sales.<br /><br />Basically, since the advent of the Internet, people started to flock this new medium of information without even knowing its fundamental principles, how it works, things that are needed to survive in it, etc. Many people literally bombarded the Internet thinking that life would be a lot easier if they will invest on online businesses.<br /><br />Indeed, it is a well-known fact that you can find money online, but only for those who know their way around and employ the best marketing strategy there is online.<br /><br />What people do not know is that online marketing does not have to be very complicated. It just needs the right stuff to keep you going.<br /><br />Take for example the use of mailing list, particularly opt in list. Before, no one ever dare to use opt in list thinking that it will not do any good for their business. Most entrepreneurs think that building an opt in list is just a waste of time and money. What they do not know is that, according to the “golden rule of the Internet,” money is in the list.<br /><br />It has probably been mentioned before, and is worth mentioning again, money is really in the list. <a href="http://ideas4rent.com/BlogArticles/Building-Opt-In.htm">Finish reading this story.</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4419552092819220"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel ="1314225384"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8600803-2085116456914397322?l=ideas4rent.blogspot.com'/></div>Don MacLeod, Ideas4Rent Marketingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600803.post-24057257049364761742009-01-03T11:48:00.003-05:002009-01-17T19:29:13.559-05:002009-01-17T19:29:13.559-05:00I must say that I find Twitter to be an effective communication tool.

Being an unknown, untested, awkwardly-named black man with limited resources going against one of the biggest brand names in Democratic politics, you’d hardly anticipate a victory in the playoffs, much less a win in the finals. Yet, that is exactly what happened.
