Efficiency and Convenience in One - Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX

By Matt Ryan

Many people, both personally and professionally use dual monitors when computing. This concept has been around since the 90s and is becoming more commonly used. There is; however, a new approach to this concept that could make some lives easier or at least less cluttered.

Samsung has recently released the SyncMaster 2263DX, which just might solve some of the special issues of dual monitoring. This system is a combination of a 22" and 7" monitor. The 7-inch monitor actually attaches to the 22" monitor. This gives consumers two monitors that only take up the space of one, with the added bonus of using the small unit for secondary applications only (applications like web browsing, video, or instant messaging).

These monitors, with their shiny black coating, and beveled edges, will add a bit of elegance to any setting. The 22" monitor has a response time of 5ms, contrast ration of 1000:1, and a resolution of 1680 x 1050. All of which is pretty standard for monitors today. To connect the 22" to your computer, you will need to connect not only via the DVI, HDMI, or VGA port, but with the USB 2.0 port as well.

The smaller monitor, expectedly, has a much lower resolution and contrast ration along with a slower response time. (Res: 800 x 480, Con: 400:1, RT: 30ms) For a secondary monitor that supports secondary applications, these numbers are definitely sufficient for productivity.

The secondary monitor attaches nicely to the primary monitor, taking up much less real estate on your desk. It is attached via a pivotal arm that allows you to rotate the monitor to the perfect position. Additionally, the 7-inch monitor can be adjusted to either landscape or portrait layout, whichever you prefer.

An added bonus, to this setup, is the fact that the 7-inch monitor can be used as a standalone unit. This counteracts the purpose of the design, but could be useful in some situations. For example, it can be used as a secondary laptop monitor. For those who travel or need portability, this is a great-added benefit.

The Syncmaster 2263DX not only offers a functional dual monitoring setup for small offices, but provides a solid platform for teleconferencing as well. There is a 3.0M webcam, 1.5W down firing speakers, and a microphone - all built right into the monitor itself. The secondary monitor, the 7-inch one, is perfect for the video aspect of a teleconference.

The SyncMaster 2263DX can usually be found for around $550. This is a bit pricey for a 22" monitor, most of which can be purchased for around $200. You could easily buy two 22" monitors for less than you could purchase the new 2263DX. However, the 2263DX offers spacious efficiency.

It all comes down to what is most important to you. If you are considering dual monitoring then you obviously, need a solution that will help you to work more productively. The big question is space and budget. If you are willing to spend the extra dough, for the latest technology, then this is a great buy. If space is not an issue and budget is, then waiting for the price to drop might be the best alternative (or purchase two separate monitors).

Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX - Gadget or Necessity

By Matt Ryan

Dual monitoring is a very efficient way for individuals to get their work done. Whatever you may use the two monitors for, it allows you to separate applications for your convenience and ease of use. This concept has been around for over a decade and manufacturers are just now coming up with solutions that provide the same efficiency in a more spacious design.

Samsung is known for their high quality and variety of monitors. They have recently added, to their already popular product line, a brand new concept - a dual monitor setup in one. This system consists of a 22-inch and 7-inch monitor that takes up the space of only one 22" unit. This new concept is to provide the same efficiency that two full sized monitors offer. The idea behind it is to use the 7-inch monitor for secondary applications like instant messaging, and the 22-inch monitor for your primary applications.

The larger monitor is the primary monitor. With a 1680 x 1050 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ration, and 5ms response time, this monitor is no different from a standard standalone unit. The one difference is that you must use a USB 2.0 port along with a DVI, HDMI, or VGA connection to connect the monitor to your computer.

The secondary monitor, 7-inch, was intentionally designed as such. With a resolution of 800 x 480, response time of 30ms, and contrast ratio of 400:1, this monitor is best used with smaller applications like instant messaging or video conferencing.

Through the use of a swivel arm, the smaller monitor is attached to the larger one on either the left or right side, or even on the top. The smaller unit is flexible in its position as users can rotate the unit to their desired position. The unit can also be manipulated to stay in either landscape or portrait layout.

The dual monitoring experience, that the SyncMaster 2263DX offers, is phenomenal. However, it does not stop with pure efficiency and spaciousness. The smaller monitor can actually be used as a secondary portable monitor for a laptop, or even a standalone unit on your desk. You do not have to use it as an attachment to the 22-inch monitor that it comes with.

The Syncmaster 2263DX not only offers a functional dual monitoring setup for small offices, but provides a solid platform for teleconferencing as well. There is a 3.0M webcam, 1.5W down firing speakers, and a microphone - all built right into the monitor itself. The secondary monitor, the 7-inch one, is perfect for the video aspect of a teleconference.

For around $550 you can purchase one of these new SyncMaster 2263DXs. If you have priced monitors, you know that this is a bit of a steep price for a 22-inch monitor. You could easily pick up two separate full sized monitors for the same price.

The bottom line is whether you are looking for space saver technology or budget friendly answers. If you have the space, purchasing two monitors is obviously the way to go. If your desk space is slim, you may just have to spend the extra cash. If you are into toys, and just need to have the latest and greatest, the Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX is a must have.

The smaller monitor can be attached to the right or left hand side of the 22" monitor, or even on the top. Attach your 7-inch monitor via an arm that pivots and swivels. Meaning you can rotate the secondary monitor to nearly any position you desire. Additionally, the 7" monitor can be adjusted to feature either landscape or portrait layout.

The secondary 7-inch monitor can function as more than just an attachment to the 22-inch monitor. The smaller of the two can also be used as a standalone monitor or even a digital picture frame. This smaller monitor was also designed to be used as a secondary monitor for laptops - if desired.

The Syncmaster 2263DX not only offers a functional dual monitoring setup for small offices, but provides a solid platform for teleconferencing as well.

Google Adwords Advertsing Tips

By Justin Harrison

It is incorrect believe that the top search terms are good choices for keywords. This seems logical but it doesn't take into account other competition. Picking keywords that match the advertiser's business usually have more of an impact.

Providing terms that are descriptive can draw a better group of people. Using a phrase like "cook books" instead of just "books" will commonly result in more conversions due to the fact that it will appear to people actually searching for cook books instead of just books. Providing a term like "Italian cook books" can result in even more conversions.

A low conversion ratio, or readers who click but don't end up buying, doesn't help an advertiser in any way despite the high number of clicks. It will only cost the business more money in fees that are not negated by higher sales. By placing very specific keywords to hone in on a niche advertisers are able to get higher quality clicks. This will lead to a significantly better conversion ratio and a much higher ROI.

Creating keywords requires examining your web site and picking out the words and phrases that describe it. You should also look at other web sites in the same target market. Try to figure out why those sites are good or not and look at how they word their advertisements and content. If they are reaching the target market you should attempt to leverage their terms and phrases where possible.

It helps to consider how a customer might think, too. According to Google, it is a good idea to create a list of search terms that consumers might use when performing an Internet search for specific goods and services. Think about the various ways they may spell some of those terms, too. For example, someone searching for low calorie foods might type "light foods" or "lite foods." To make sure you attract the greatest number of consumers, be sure to incorporate all possible spellings when creating a list of keywords for your site.

Keeping track of how effective a campaign is is a critical component. You can use Google's conversion tracking tool along with Google Analytics to see how a campaign is doing. If you see advertisements that are not generating as much traffic as estimated try to make some changes. Then, keep watching the results to see if the change improved things.

LJ James talks about The FX Show "Sons Of Anarchy"

By LJ James

I have just finished reviewing the 2nd episode of the brand new FX show "Son's of Anarchy". I have been a a big fan of another FX Show "The Shield" for years and I have to say, I have enjoyed "Sons of Anarchy" so far. The show has awesome bikes and ton's of action!

As a Member of an Outlaw Motorcycle Club, I can see many mistakes already in the show. One thing that really surprised me is how people have reacted to the show and me personally. People who know I'm a member of a Motorcycle Club are asking me, "You guys aren't really like that, are you?" Most of these people have known me for years! Now after a couple of episodes of "Sons of Anarchy" their wondering if I'm leading some kind of double life.

Can you imagine if a show about criminal killer Florists came out? Would people ask them if they where really like that? One fact of life about being a Biker I have come to except is, it's real easy for people to think of Bikers as the bad guys. It's always been that way. I wonder how many Cops had people ask them the same question when the Shield came out? I also wonder how many Cops who watch the Shield and know that show is fiction will watch "Sons of Anarchy" and think that's how Motorcycle Clubs really are! The show "Sons of Anarchy" is fiction and it is way over the top.

Son's of Anarchy is going to shine a bright light into the Motorcycle Club world. Where as the last ten years have been all about Motorcycle Builders and has led to a lot of people getting into Motorcycle Riding, I believe the next ten years will be all about Motorcycle Clubs. Now this show could be a good thing for Motorcycle Clubs if, in-between all the fictional action, it also focuses on the bond of Brotherhood Motorcycle Clubs are really based on.

Although there is opportunity for "Sons of Anarchy" to make a positive statement about Motorcycle Clubs, I have a feeling the show will have a negative impact on Clubs, Independent Bikers, and the Motorcycle Community in general. By highlighting the good Motorcycle Clubs do and the positive impact that they have on their communities, I don't think that is the way the program is going.

All the Motorcycle Clubs out there are going to need to keep their eyes wide open and watch any new prospects. MCs need to make sure that new prospects are there for the Brotherhood and betterment of the Club and the community. You don't want prospects to try and live out some misguided fantasy they may have seen on TV or in some Movie. Another huge concern of mine, people who will just go out and throw on a set of patches and think they are the "Sons of Anarchy". The Motorcycle Club world is all about Respect. There is a serious protocol that is followed by all Motorcycle Clubs. I would not recommend violating that protocol in any way.

Motorcycle Clubs have spent the past 20 years working hard to shake the old biker gang stereotype of the 60's and 70's. Now that we have come close to accomplishing our goal, shows like "Sons of Anarchy" and the upcoming HBO show 1% are here to drag our image back into the muck. How far will these shows set us back? I would ask the producers of these shows, there sponsors, and everyone else out there to please remember that Brotherhood is what the Motorcycle Club world is truly about.

What To Avoid When Yourre Starting Out

By Sam Ernie Orion

No matter how well versed you are in the brick and mortar business world, its a good idea to understand both the similarities and differences between that and the world of ecommerce. Remember that as the economy takes a downturn, more and more people are looking toward alternatives to the traditional model of doing business. However, while the Internet supplies some great ideas and is a great vehicle to make money, there are at least four mistakes that you want to avoid before you take the plunge into starting your own business.

Dont Rush

First and foremost, all the experts agree that you dont want to rush. Although compared to other enterprises an Internet business is cheaper, there are quite a few bad turns that you can take and some of these spiral. While its true that we all like to hear great success stories and how people have made great money online, you need to be careful and find out exactly how much work was involved. Take the time to look into exactly how this success was achieved before you envision yourself doing the same thing.

Think Like A Boss

Remember too that while the Internet affords great possibilities, theres also a tendency for people to slide into the employee frame of mind. That means that some people make the incorrect assumption having your own business means that they have more freedom and while thats true, you also need to in mind that although you can set your own hours you still need to work at them. Dont think like an employee when youre the boss.

Get The Right Tools

Many people starting a home based web business try to cut corners and get a quick template off the Internet rather than taking the time and investing the money to go to a professional web design company in Los Angeles or where ever they happen to be. That is always a mistake. Even if you wind up with a decent website, you need to market that site and compete for page rankings and you dont get those tools by cutting financial corners before you even start.

Theres a good living on the Internet, but you need to get the best tools and have the right aptitude to make the whole thing work for you. While the medium for business might change, the need for hard work stays the same.

The Right Data Security Is What Business Needs

By Daniel M. Dugal

Because ecommerce is relatively new to some people, the idea of getting the right data security is also an idea that might need some introduction. While the Web is without a doubt the way that smart business is moving in todays changing world, there are a few things that the savvy business owner needs to be made aware of so that they dont lose all of their mission critical data.

There are several things that will help you find the right company that will suit all of your needs, and of the first things that youll want to look into is the online backup software they use. Remember that in any online enterprise theres nothing more important than having the right tools for the job and in the case of the Internet, that means youll need to understand your software options. As an example, having online file sharing capabilities is indispensible for several reasons.

It makes the entire package easy to use. You really dont want to get bogged down with a complicated system that will take you a long time to learn and use. The number one requirement here is that you keep the application easy to use. Make sure to look into a demonstration before you buy anything. Make sure that the software that youll be working with is always available as well. You need to have the application working for you even when you dont have your computer on. Large Storage. Whether you use it or not isnt the issue. Having a bit of a backup when it comes to storage is a definite plus. Thats the thing about working in an online environment. The storage that you dont use will never go to waste and youll always have it at the ready.

There are other factors as well that should come into play as deciding factors and one of the ones that gets overlooked are the customer service options. As much as any of us learn about these data insurance online packages, its essential that you get one of these places that has people that you can talk to if you get really stuck.

Remember that the best online data protection package is all about having all the elements come together in one place. To get the best, youll need to be aware of what youre looking for before you begin your search.

Direct Marketing Email List

By Jeff Dedrick

Business email marketing is the use of email to promote your products and services. This is one of the most flexible and influential type of direct marketing that is cheap and commands a quick response from your target audience. The flexibility comes from the fact that you can easily modify your message to your specific customers in a very cost-effective manner than in any other form of marketing.

Business email marketing should be planned with utmost care to make it interesting, pertinent and significant to your target audience. There are a few rules that you have to adhere to for successful and fruitful email marketing. First, you must always get the consent from your target audience before you email them. As much as it is illegal to send junk mail, it is also a turn off to your potential or existing clients. There is nothing as exasperating as an inbox clogged with unsolicited mails.

Another tip is to ensure your emails indicate clearly who you are and give your customers the opportunity to opt in or out of receiving emails from you in future. One of the best ways to have your target audience opting in is using incentives like special discounts to those who may sign up for your updates.

Another point is to venture into a targeted marketing campaign. Do not send emails indiscriminately to anyone on your emailing list, but focus your attention to sending mails to the right audience. The best way to do this is to manage the database of your clients by analyzing and categorizing them. Thanks to many Email Service Providers and email software, there are special tools available that make it easier for you to categorize, segment and even generate instant responses that shows when your customers have received and opened your emails.

Finally, you need to monitor the efficiency of your email marketing. You can do this by recording the amount of responses you have received and from what type of clients. This will help you in your future assessment of your email marketing. Weigh up the response rate which will be evident in the calls and replies you will receive. Normally, a response rate of 5% is viewed as strong for business email marketing.

An effective business email marketing strategy will create valuable relationship with new clients as well as heightening your relationship with your existing ones. This will be evident from the calls you will receive and the profit margins that will be subsequently created.

How To Manage An Adwords Campaign After The Launch

By Brian Basch

So you finally made it! You worked out the bids, positioning, keywords and market research. Also you are a couple of steps ahead of the pack as you have taken advantage of Google's keyword research tools. Looks like your advertising promotions are all set for the next 6 months. Is there anything left to do?

The next thing to do is to roll up your sleeves and be prepared to get down to some hard work. Setting up your campaign is the easy part. Now you will have to maintain your great campaign and be sure it is productive. You can do this in several ways.

The first one is by tracking every detail of your ad. There is a great tracking system on Adwords itself. Just looking at your campaign will tell you which keyword is bringing in traffic and you can also set up the system to track sales conversions, if you have your own product or service. You can co-ordinate this with your website tools to track leads and sales.

It is critical to your Adword campaign that you pay attention to every detail and monitor it well. A failing ad can drain your budget, fast. It will distract you from your productive ads and have you chasing ineffective leads. Let's face it you will still be paying for clicks to a bad ad.

So how do you fix an unproductive ad? If it is placed well, within the first 5-10 pages, and is drawing traffic but no sales, you may want to target your keyword better. It is very tempting to use a broad based keyword to draw in the traffic.

The problem with popular keywords is that they are not targeted. Searchers will start with these words but go onto more targeted ones. This attracts shoppers not browsers to your website. The best keywords are those that attract traffic but also draw your niche market.

You will have to strike a happy medium between general keywords that draw the crowds and keywords that are more specialized and will bring in the sales.

Keeping a close watch on your Adwords campaign is the key to victory. In turn the success of your campaign will affect the continuous success of your business. So do not neglect the detailed monitoring of your campaign, so that you can guarantee the rising success of your business.

The Top 5 uses of CCTV Camera Systems

By James Erwin

CCTV is a fast growing modern technology. But what is it commonly used for? Here are the five most popular uses of CCTV camera systems.

Surveillance of public areas. CCTVs are usually found in most public places such as banks, airports, subways, stores and malls, and even in the streets. Having a CCTV system can provide a sense of peace and safety to the everyday citizen. The knowledge that criminals and terrorists are less likely to commit violent acts when there are cameras around brings comfort to people.

Surveillance against crimes. A number of case studies had proven that the presence of CCTV, whether visible or hidden, minimizes crimes against people, as well as incidents of violence. The fact that the suspect's appearance can be recorded in the cameras and can be used to catch him later on can greatly put off someone from committing a crime. Other than watching out for criminal acts, the surveillance systems are also being used to fight anti-social behaviours which consist of minor offenses such as littering, urinating in public, drunkenness, traffic violations and other public order offenses.

Security for commercial premises. Many businesses today have CCTVs installed in their establishments, not only to prevent theft and vandalism and to have a 24-hour surveillance capability, but can also give video footage as evidence to the police in case something did occur. Some businesses have also found other uses for the CCTV other than security reasons, in which they allow their customers to view their services through the use of the internet. That way, customers can see their items, and it provides a great personal touch, as well as helps catch any errors before the customer even receives their package.

Home security. What used to be very pricey, and difficult to configure systems are now very reasonable, easy to configure, and with easy maintenance, and they give much more versatility and usefulness than just a few years ago. It has become more inexpensive for private individuals, as they can now install CCTV on their homes and property to provide safety to their family and homes. This is especially valuable when everyone would be leaving the house.

Traffic maintenance. With cameras watching the roads, it has become easier for many traffic and transport groups to monitor the roads. It enables them to mark accidents, impediments and any other road problems, allowing them to identify the exact location and fix it right away. This would prevent any other traffic problems that could arise if such incidents are not instantly noted.

Video Marketing and SEO Money Secrets

By Angela Jameson

Did you know that 52% of the content on the Internet is in the form of video? This is because a lot of business and website owners are turning to video marketing. They are turning to video because web surfers would much rather watch a video than read the text on a page. There is also the fact that you can reach a lot of people who have an interest in what it is your business is about. If they see a page that is full of words about your business or product, they just might hit their browser back button, but give them a video to watch and they may stay put.

However, the idea is to reach as many people as possible. That is why there are programs such as Traffic Geyser out there that provides video submission software so that social networking sites, blogs, podcasts, and every sort of media on the web contains your video. This is important so that you can have access to millions of people without putting in thousands of hours of time.

Another thing that is very important is that you can market your website for a great price. Not everyone has money that they can throw around, especially when the economy is rough. However, there are those who do throw it around, but then they have no idea why their bottom line is not doing so well. If they would take time to think about how to reduce their marketing costs instead of spending money on whatever, they may see an improvement in their bottom line.

The Freelancing World

By Ray Edwards

Sir Walter Scott, a renowned Scottish historical novelist and poet, referred to mercenary soldiers as "freelancers" in his book Ivanhoe. This is where the word found its genesis. Since then, the word "freelancer" has gained new meanings. It became much more figurative by the 1860's and was finally officially recognized as a word by the English Oxford Dictionary in 1903.

Today, the word "freelance" has changed into different forms: as a noun, freelance or freelancer; as a verb, a photographer who freelances; and as an adverb, he works freelance.

Freelancing has become a career choice for many different markets, including copywriting. Freelancing can give copywriters greater benefits over a regular job at an advertising agency or firm. The flexibility and options freelancers hold cause them to feel that freelancing is superior to employed work.

Here are a few reasons why copywriters are becoming freelancers:

* Many Different Kinds of Projects. Freelance copywriting allows copywriters to work on different kinds of copywriting than if they were at a firm or agency. The Internet also offers more opportunities to freelancers: It helps copywriters gain access to more opportunities, better projects, and a higher income. Freelance copywriters can also work on different jobs at once. Meaning they could be writing a sales letter for one client, while they are writing web content for another.

* Fast Turnaround. Most freelance copywriting projects are based upon a timetable and have to be completed within a certain period. These timetables are quite often done quickly, allowing a freelancer to take on more projects throughout the year.

* More Freedom, More Flexibility. Becoming a freelance copywriter can give a person the freedom to choose the place, date, and manner in which they do their work. Though some freelancing does require contracts, freelance copywriting is still a no employer-no employee relationship. Freelance work offers more freedom for someone who does not want to be confined to an 8 to 5 or 9 to 6 work schedule. A freelance copywriter is free to choose their working hours and is their own boss. Because of this freedom, freelance copywriting gives a person more time to pursue other interests or take on more jobs. Many freelancers feel that they can take care of their families easier as well.

* Greater Income. Because freelance copywriters are hired because of their specialized skill, and because they don't have to split their profits with an advertising agency, they can make more money than other copywriters. Freelance copywriters usually charge by the hour, day, or per-project. Others don't use flat rates but use value-based pricing methods instead. Payments are arranged based on the contract determined by the copywriter and client. Generally, they can pay upfront, staggered, or when the project is completed.

Freelancers can easily find work on the Internet today. The Internet helps copywriters and clients from all over the world do business. Freelance copywriters can write short sales articles, write web content, and create sales letters. There is a great demand for good freelance copywriters, so you should do some more research into freelance copywriting if it interests you.

Download Zune: Update Your Gadget

By Rashel Dan

The best way to enjoy your new Zune is to download zune update in your gadget. Uploading zune will basically improve the firmware of the player. Firmware is a computer program that is embedded in a hardware device, the hardware in this case being the Zune. It is something between hardware and firmware and it can be upgraded so that it performs much better. Firmware updates are similar to those found in many recent cellular phones as well.

How Do I know What Firmware My Zune Has?

Basic Firmware - Every Zune unit has a basic firmware out of the box and the very first firmware was version 1.0 (193). This is the original firmware that the Zune device had when installed in the factory for the 30 GB series. This firmware of course was with the first generation of Zune players and the newest is now an 80 GB manifestation so it has a more advanced firmware. To know what kind of firmware your Zune has you can do the following:

- On the Zune Home screen, select settings, and press the center of the Zune pad. - Select About, and press the center button. - Select Zune, and press the center button.

The firmware version should be displayed on the screen if you have followed the steps properly and then you can determine whether or not you need a firmware upgrade by visiting the Microsoft website to check if there are any upgrades available.

What Version Firmware Is Available So Far?

The nice thing about Microsoft is that you can actually trace the firmware updates for the Zune and there have been quite a few since they want consumers to get the best from the device. Here are some of the versions that are available for the device and what the updates do to improve the devices performance:

The Version 1.1 - Enabled Zune to Zune wireless sharing and improved overall performance. The wireless feature is turned on by default in this update and can be deactivated by going to Settings / Wireless and then turning it off manually.

Version 1.2 - Helped to improve performance as well as stability of that performance.

Firmware Version 1.4 - Improved the shuffling behavior of the device.

Version 2.0 - The original factory version for the Zune 4GB, 8GB, and 80GB devices.

Version 2.1 - Improved functionality and performance, but this update was not widely distributed to Zune users.

Firmware Version 2.2 - Updated device functionality and improved performance, like helping to download Zune content better and faster over WIFI.

Version 2.3 - The latest update which still has the wireless feature on by default.

Updates may take time. It takes hardware and software developers a lot of time to develop these updates and they have to make sure that these updates will install properly on all devices sold to the end user. This is the reason why there are not able to download Zune updates whenever they want but only when they are available.

Unique Strategy To Implement B2B Relationship Marketing

By Yasmine Tan

The performance of a relationship between two firms can be view in the following way. The Business-to-Business Relationship Performance scale is presented as a high order concept. Managers operating in a B2B e-marketplace, findings reveal that greater relationship performance results in better 1) relationship policies and practices, 2) relationship commitment, 3) trust in the relationship, 4) mutual cooperation, as well as 5) satisfaction with the relationship. The multi-dimensional scale shows strong evidence of reliability as well as convergent, discriminate and nomological validity.

It is also reveal that B2B relationship performance is positively and significantly associated with loyalty. While building on this scale. Today firms have a wide range of tools and metrics at their disposal to assess periodic performance, and they represent a critical topic in business literature and across different fields of management research. However, although both worlds are interested in the topic of metrics, the way academics and managers discuss it is quite different. Frequently practitioners have different expectations and work with different time scales than those of academics.

Moreover, it is not normally concerned with the analysis and development of metrics that might be applied at the managerial level and included in management periodic reports. The marketing trend towards a better understanding of relationship development with business partners continues to grow, as managers and researchers observe that better relationships result in a significant impact on business performance.

The development of customer relationship is an ongoing process during which relational policies and practices, trust, relationship commitment, mutual cooperation, and satisfaction with the relationship represent important dimensions to be considered. The need for enhanced corporate reputation and trust-based relationship becomes more crucial in an environment of less traditional relationship coalition, relational history, and interpersonal communication.

The new medium is fostering transitional relationship, and easy access to information and forum to critique, criticize or condemn an institution. The practice of hiding nothing is preferred because there is no where to hide. Ethics and truth, unqualified reputation and transparent honesty, therefore, become very important in the new marketplace made up of institutions and empowered consumers and stakeholders.

Proactively, rather than reactivity, becomes a very important business mantra in the postmodern digital world economy. It is easier to create and maintain reputation and trust than try to regain them. Computer technology has altered the power structure and the relationship between corporations and their publics, stakeholders and the media. Internet may be creating a shift from the traditional vertical and horizontal corporate communication paradigms.

Email Promotion Internet Marketing

By Jeff Dedrick

I've found that one of the best mediums for marketing any business is internet email marketing. By using email as your medium of promotion you are almost guaranteeing your message will be read by thousands if not millions of people depending on the size of your email list. This form of promotion has grown by leaps and bounds over the years, but with it, came with the need to implement rules and regulations to govern it.

When starting an internet email marketing campaign, it's important that your list is indeed targeted and 100% opt in. An opt in list is simply a mailing list where every person on the list has specifically requested to be on the list. It means that they have visited your site or a site you are affiliated with, and manually entered their information, which in turn gives you permission to email them with the information they requested.

When operating an email campaign, you need to abide by all the applicable laws. Do not take any shortcuts, or break any rules. You'll have the peace of mind knowing that you are doing everything exactly as outlined in the regulations, therefore you can go about promoting your business ethically and without any legal implication. Many people overlook this aspect and turn to spamming to earn a quick buck, but it can lead to many legal complications that you surely don't need.

Starting out with internet email marketing may require some upfront capital. It's not always the most affordable way to get started, but if done right, it will indeed be very profitable. In fact, it can be a lot more profitable than other mediums of promotion. As you market through email, your message is delivered into the inbox of your prospect. With a good offer, you can achieve a great return on your investment.

Finding the Perfect Web Host

By Louise Baker

The first thing you should do is make a list of what your current goals are. If you are making a professional site, you'll need a secure and reliable host. For instance, if you know that your website will reach thousands of people within a few months, perhaps you should find a web hosting package that includes extra bandwidth. You need additional space, especially if visitors are constantly going to be accessing your website. On the other hand, if you are just experimenting, you should stick to the free hosting packages. Geocities or Angel Fire certainly provides a basic package, which will leave you satisfied. After all, you do not need bells and whistles if you aren't serious about the website in the long run. If you do end up changing your mind, you can always switch services and transfer your website.

Once you have made your decision, you need to find a reputable service. While searching for hosting companies on Google may seem appropriate, it often stems bad results. It is important to remember that just because it is listed on a search engine, doesn't mean it is 100% safe and legit. Therefore, if you do find a potential company, you should get a second opinion. It is usually smart to join a webmaster related forum like SitePoint to discuss such matters. This way you can hear about other people's experiences and what companies to avoid. Additional references from friends or family would also be ideal.

After picking a host, you will need to provide your credit card information. For many users, 3ix.org is a favorite, as it rarely charges you much. Surprisingly, there are discount coupon codes you can acquire through the internet, to also help you with your initial fee. Due to the fact that you have to include your private information, it is absolutely crucial to make sure you find a legit business. The last thing you want is to lose any money. Therefore, you should google their name and check out the reviews from fellow users. This will most definitely make all of the difference, especially if you find out that they are a fraud.

For website beginners, web hosting doesn't have to be difficult or even too time consuming. As long as you find reputable sources, second opinions, and a great easy to use package, you are well on your way to website success. With these instructions in mind, there should be no frustrations or year long debates on what company to use. It is quite simple, once you get in the webmaster's frame of mind.

LifePath Unlimited: Has Liberty League been OUTDONE by Lifepath?

By Jenn Lawlor

LifePath Unlimited first developed an unparalleled product before developing an income engine. This approach and that fact that the personal and prosperity development industry is poised for incredible growth has attracted many top industry leaders to this young company.

I have personally been involved in the direct sales industry for a long time and have seen lots of products and companies come and go. I do not personally recommend a lot of products or businesses as most seem to be sub-standard in terms of quality. The LifePath Unlimited product line seems to be different from the rest.

I've reviewed many other personal and prosperity development companies, but LifePath Unlimited really has only one competitor"Liberty League International. The main difference between these two companies is that LifePath Unlimited developed its product line BEFORE the income engine...

...Liberty League took the reverse approach. A common theme in the many reviews online suggest that the Liberty League product line is overpriced and short in quality.

The first in the LifePath Unlimited product line is the Discovery Series, a 56 day interactive course held online. I was quite impressed when I learned that LifePath offers a 56 day money back guarantee on the Discovery Series. Does any other company in this industry stand so solidly behind their product?

This industry holds lots of opportunities, but its rare to find one with a solid foundation of leadership and management that have committed to a unique and innovative product. My review of LifePath Unlimited reveals that this is a company that is headed toward the top of its class..

LifePath Unlimited has all the major ingredients a direct sales company needs to truly hit traction in the market place. And when you position yourself in a company like that at the right time, you can create true financial freedom...in a short amount of time.

Create Your Own Dating Service For A Second Income

By Jennifer King

With internet dating becoming more in demand month after month more profiteers are now seeking to cash in on this growing trend with their own dating service. It's not a challenge to start up a dating service if you do it correctly. There's no reason why you shouldn't be able to create a small second income from your own matchmaking service.

Thousands of people create their own dating web sites every month without doing proper research first. They create a dating web site that has no members, and no visitors, and sit back and wait for the affiliate checks to start flowing into their bank account. This is the reason why over 98% of dating web sites never make any cash, and are closed down after the domain name needs to be renewed.

The most imperative part of making money from a dating service is your database of members. Without any singles you're not going to get any new paying singles that are going to hand you your second income.

False personal ads are what a lot of dating service owners turn to in an attempt to get real members. This tactic lasts a very short amount of time as false personal ads don't respond to messages so at the end of it the service gets a bad name, and then they end up with no members.

The best approach to starting off making money is to look for a dating service that already has members. Then you create a service that shares a database of members with that dating site so all the members of all the different sites can interact with each other.

You can usually have a web site fully created for you within 48 hours so you can start attracting new members to your service that is already part of a database of singles.

Once you have set up your service all you need to do is start promoting it on the internet. This is simple with article submission web sites and directory submission web sites.

With these services doing the work for you, you shouldn't need to put more than a couple of hours a day into your new business. If you feel the need to put more time into your new dating web site you can, and then you'll be doing more than the next person so your site will get their traffic.

These two great ways of promotion create back links to your new dating service that search engines love so you'll begin getting visitors to your site. Another reason most people fail with their new matchmaking site is they just create it and think that visitors will come along as a matter of course which is one thing that never happens.

When you create a web site in the online dating niche you'll be up against hundreds of other web site owners. The extra work you put in to promote your new web site the more visitors your site will get than theirs.

To win the battle of internet matchmaking all you need is a big database of singles, and regular promotion of your service. When you get these two crucial things correct you'll start receiving your money

3 Ways To Seriously Improve Search Engine Rankings (Part 2)

By Steve Mitchell

Following on from Part 1, here is Part 2 of '3 Ways To Dramatically Improve Search Engine Rankings' I have a simple 3-Stage Approach to getting ranked high in the search engines. Here, in Part 2, is my second Stage...

Stage 2. Get Your Website Seen:

If you goal is to get placed high up the search engine rresults (as it should be!) then you need to get the search services to 'see you'. This sounds an obvious statement but few people really think it through that much. In a nutshell, and avoiding all the techie jargon, search engines really want to find you, or more specifically your website. When someone types in a 'search query' they are looking for some information. If your website is relevant to the information which is being searched for (we'll talk about this later), then the search engines are very keen to link the person searching with your website, which they do with the search results the search engine discovers.

The key then, knowing the search engines really want to find your website, is to set up your website in such a way as to make it be easily found by the search engines. The way you do this is to adopt some basic, but very important 'optimisation' tricks on your website - what is called 'on page optimisation'.

The interesting thing is, even though it's really important to do what I'm about to share with you, the on-page optimisation' methods only really are about 15% of what contributes towards your search results ranking. The 85% of where you figure in search results is dependant on the 'off-page optimisation' which I'll cover in stage 3. Even though 'on page optimisation' only makes up for 15% towards how you get ranked, it is still crucial to carry out these basic but key steps:

a) Ensure your keyword(s) appear in your pages 'Title tag' of the header code of your website (if you're not sure what this is, ask someone to show you who does know - it's that important). This is vital because it is one of the key things that search engines are looking for - matching the words the searcher types into their search (the keywords) with the title of a website, which in turn should be relevant to the search query. You can take this a stage further by adding in a description in the 'meta description tag' again incorporating your keywords, and then the 'meta keywords tag' which simply includes all your keywords, comma separated.

The search engines don't put so much relevancy these days on the description or keyword tags, but they're worth doing either way, but it's vital you include your keywords in the Title tag.

b) Make the webpage you are pointing the keyword towards relevant to that keyword. In other words don't have a keyword like 'dog training tips' and then have a webpage all about horses, cats, dogs and loads of other animals with little specific relevancy to dogs or dog training - make sure the webpage is relevant to your keyword.

c) Build into your website a simple Sitemap. Understand that the way search engines search the web is they look for (crawl) words and phrases in all the code of your website - they don't understand pretty pictures, graphics, flash animations, etc - all they want to find is words and phrases relevant to want the searcher is looking for. So make it simpe for the search engines to 'see' your web site when it looks for those key words and phrases. One way to do this and make it easier for the search engines to find the info they want is by incorporating a simply site map within your website. Again, if this doesn't make sense to you, ask your webmaster about it.
