... Writing Good Sales Copy - Learning to write good sales copy isn?t something you can learn by reading a quick tutorial ? it takes practice. Although you probably won?t turn into a world-famous copywriter overnight, there are a few tips you can use to increase the response from your sales letters.
The first thing you should
... The Difference Between a Long and Short Tail - Let?s say the keyword ?dog training? gets approximately 2,420 searches per day. Then you start looking at the long-tail keyword phrases for that niche ? dog training collars, dog potty training, dog training careers, and so on. When you add up all of the long-tail keywords, which are easier to
... Text Links Versus Image Ads - In general, text ads tend to pull a lot more clicks than image ads, because people have become ?banner blind.? That means people have learned to ignore banners, because they know they?re ads.
Text ads are a part of every website, so they?re harder to ignore. This is one reason why
... Testing Conversion Rates - Split testing is the process of testing conversion rates by sending traffic to multiple versions of a sales page or squeeze page. This can be done manually, or it can be automated with software. The important thing is to have a very good tracking system in place.
What should you split
... Tangible Product Promotions - Tangibles are shunned by many Internet marketers who don?t want to deal with physical goods. It can be a nightmare if you factor in the nuisance of packaging and shipping, stocking of inventory, and suppliers.
There are three ways you can deal in tangibles if you want to focus solely on
... How *Crap* Can Dramatically Boost Your Profits! - If you put up the WORST CRAP EVER right now on a web site, something WILL happen. And those results are what eventually drives a few hundred dollars a month in profit, and eventually produces several thousand dollars a month, and can eventually create a small fortune.

... Rocking the roadshow in Atlanta - Well, OK; I'm not rocking it yet, but I have big plans. The Ravens-Pats game is on TV; my dinner's on the way, and I got to ride MARTA from the airport to my hotel. I'm ready to bring my A game to the session tomorrow!... Notes client won't run with Vista UAC -
Now, this is just plain wrong. The two most recent versions of the Lotus Notes clients won't run when Vista User Account Control is enabled. This is despite the fact that IBM claims that Notes 8 is fully compatible with Vista. IBM recommends turning off UAC, which means you actually have to make your desktop less secure to run it.
Upon further investigation, it looks like nsd.exe is the actual component that doesn't work when UAC is enabled. I... A fun date: gun defense class - I'd signed up for a Krav Maga-based gun defense class at our martial arts school. It sounded like a fun way to spend an afternoon, and indeed it was-- all the more so because, at the last minute, Arlene decided to join me! Instead of a typical date, we spent four hours pointing training guns at each other, then taking them away with a variety of strikes, blocks, and pins. She was definitely better at most of the techniques than I was, as we found... Alexandria - This is the first time in a long time (like, nearly 15 years) that I've been to Alexandria twice in one year. We were there earlier this year for a great family reunion; this time, sad to say, I was visiting my seriously ill grandfather in the hospital. Despite the reason for the visit, it was great to see everyone-- Ray, Dan, Ashley, Melissa, Grandmaw, Betty, Clayton, Laura, and Chris were all there. Ashley is only a few months away from graduat... Exchange 2007 SP1: November 30 - Get ready, folks. Exchange 2007 SP1 ships on the 30th.... Rock Band! - Arlene just returned from Best Buy with a brand-new box of win: Rock Band Deluxe Edition. It's a Christmas present for the boys, but I wonder if they believe in early Christmas? It seems a shame to leave it boxed up given the upcoming four-day Thanksgiving weekend. Maybe I can sneakily rock out after they go to bed tonight ... The history of Tabasco - Wow, this is neat-- NewsGator just alerted me to a book review of a book called McIlhenny's Gold: How a Louisiana Family Built the Tabasco Empire. This sounds like my cup of tea. Or something.... HOWTO: Find a RoundTable case - I'm still really enamored of the Microsoft RoundTable conferencing camera. IMHO it's a real breakthrough, and I can't wait until we can get one of our own and start using it regularly for the meetings I have to attend. We faced a problem for the roadshows, though: the RoundTable is an odd shape and doesn't disassemble for transport. I couldn't see shipping a $3000 device in a cardboard box, so I did some digging. As far as I can tell, there's onl... Extending OCS programmatically - It turns out that there are at least two ways you can build custom applications that take advantage of OCS 2007's capabilities for presence, IM, conferencing, and voice. First, you can use the Communicator SDK to do client-side stuff, like asking Communicator to initiate a voice call or change your presence status in response to some action. (I need to find out if Communicator is smart enough to set your status to "away" when you l... Devin is MVP of the month - Super cool: Devin is this month's MVP of the Month! Congratulations!

HOWTO: Disable voice mail journaling in Exchange 2007 - One common question (or family of questions, I guess) that I get concerns how voice mail messages are handled in the Exchange 2007 transport engine. In particular, a couple of people at the "It's Time to Deploy" events have had questions about how voice messages are journaled. Depending on your organization's records management requirements, you may want to make sure that VMs are journaled, or you may want to affirmatively block them from journal... Returning home - A few notes gathered during my trip, now that I'm on the way home (yay!) I got up early, finished packing, and ran into my friend Rick Taylor at breakfast. We had a great chat about the perils of raising kids (he has two girls and a boy about the same ages as our three boys). He also told me that Joel Oleson got to go to a sacrament meeting in Barcelona, and I confess to being a bit jealous. First, airport security in Barcelona is a far cry from ... Barcelona: 7 Portes - For dinner, I went out with a group of MS folks to a local restaurant called 7 Portes. It's been here since 1837, if that tells you anything. Wow, it was good! Our table of about a dozen people shared four or five different appetizers, including jamon iberico (which I put on Catalan tomato bread to make a tasty open-faced sandwich), fried salt cod balls, and anchovies (skipped those!) I ordered something that was described as crayfish-- turns out... Barcelona FTW - I'm typing this from Danny Bohm's session at IT Forum in Barcelona (he asked me to sit in to help cover Forefront for Exchange questions.) While I have a minute, I wanted to jot down a few of my impressions of Barcelona and IT Forum. First, if you don't speak Spanish or Catalan, you're probably going to have trouble outside the normal tourist spots. I tried to shop for a Christmas sweater for Arlene yesterday, and it was an equal mix of hilarity... Heading to IT Forum - Right now I'm in the Northwest WorldClub at O'Hare, waiting for my KLM flight to Amsterdam (and thence to Barcelona). This show, IT Forum 2007, is the first time I've been invited to present at a Microsoft event in Europe, and the process has been quite a bit different from that of the US shows. The content development process is somewhat different, and the logistics folks have done a very good job of taking care of signup, reservations, and the ... Copyright © 2008, Chicago Best Price.
