July 2009 Cyber Attacks Against US And South Korea
Jul 15th
Cyber Attacks including DDoS attacks have continued to expand during the month of July beginning on July 4th. Primary targets have been US Government and South Korean Government sites and many large business websites including Yahoo, Amazon and iContact.
These attacks are launched using computers like yours and mine that do not have anti-virus and firewall software installed or, the software is not set to update daily or may even be expired. Using the Internet for email and web browsing without proper protection is dangerous for you and for others.
As these “Cyber Wars” will continue and grow in their destructive powers as time goes on, anyone using the Internet for personal entertainment or business should take precautions to install and maintain security software.
If you have your own online or Internet marketing business you also need to be sure that your website hosting provider is reputable and that they are taking precautions with their hosting center webs servers. They should be doing daily backups of your website(s) to insure that if they do come under attack or, your site is damage for any reason, they can restore your files and get you back online fast.
If you are looking for a website hosting provider that offers you the level of service and security that you need to run your business, please take a look at Mission Springs Web Hosting.

New BlackBerry Tour 9630 Smartphone
Jul 3rd
I currently own the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition smartphone that I purchased in October 2007 just before my wife and I took a trip to Germany. This was a great phone to have on the trip as it gave us seamless phone connectivity while we were there.
Now RIM has introduced the new BlackBerry Tour 9630 which looks to be my next phone to replace the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition later this year.
I have many friends and business associates who have the Apple iPhone and think, like all Apple users, that it is the best there is on the planet. Although the iPhone has really cool apps (many toys) and folks love the touch screen to push them around on, I think that the RIM BlackBerry is still the better tool for doing business.
With the iPhone locked into only one cellular network, AT&T, what do you do if that network does not give you good coverage in your location? My BlackBerry 8830 is on Sprint which shares many locations with Verizon. You can buy and operate the BlackBerry on several networks here in the USA and overseas. I like that too.
Tell me what you think. Which phone do you use and like the best?
Amazon Stops North Carolina Affiliates Program
Jun 27th
(Thanks to Darren at ProBlogger.com for the heads up on this)
This is not good news for home based business owners and online marketers who rely on making money from their Internet based businesses. How many more stats are looking into taxing affiliate sales to help bring dollars into their accounts in this down economy? Will your state be next?
Amazon.com Inc. closed accounts with its affiliates in North Carolina to avoid paying a proposed sales tax, according to media reports Friday. In an email, Amazon reportedly told marketing affiliates in the state that the move was a direct result of North Carolina’s push to levy a tax on purchases made through Amazon affiliates. FOX NEWS
Let me know if you are in a state where this has already happened or where legislation to tax affiliate sales is being proposed.

I believe that today will be remembered as the day that Internet Marketing Changed forever and gave a new level of freedom to those who are serious about wanting to start their own simple home based business!
Never before in history were you able to just “THINK” of a product and have it delivered to you in LESS than *one* minute.
Breakthroughs that make a REAL difference in peoples’ businesses rarely happen, and this is clearly one of them.
If you were given the power to click a button today and almost instantly find a product in *ANY* niche that you can sell as your own, that would obviously be HUGE right?
That is precisely what this new tool does for you.
It’s actually the largest, SEARCHABLE database of resell rights & private label rights products on the planet!
It is called Resell Rights Fortune and it just opened its doors for a limited number of people TODAY. You need to look at this now and discover for yourself how easy this can be.

Obviously this resource is going to give you a significant edge over the competition. It is like having access to all Resell Rights Products ever created or that will be created in the future.
I know you probably read a lot of websites and get emails hyping up the next “big thing”. If you dismiss this thinking it’s just another ho-hum offer, you’ll be making an enormous mistake.
It took Socrates and his team14 months and over $54,300 to build this system and hunt down all the products.
Give it a try for yourself today. You have nothing to loose and financial freedom to be gained.

What Are Widgets On Websites
May 13th
A widget is just a small piece of computer code or a small application that can be inserted into a web page that performs a certain function or leads to a much larger application. It makes it easier for us non-tech types to get something done on our web sites without a lot of hassle.
You see them and use them all the time.
A widget can be: buttons, dialog boxes, pop-up windows, selection boxes, toggle switches, forms, stock quotes, news, search boxes for Google, clocks, counters, games, feeds and many many more.
If you are a Word Press user, you hear the term widget all the time. A widget in Word Press allows you to add tools or content to the side bars of you blog. One caution however, you must make sure you have a widget enabled theme. If you read the specifications of a theme it will tell you if it is widget enabled. This article is not going to go into all the details here about installing and using widgets. You should go to this web site: http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page to learn more.
Some people also get widgets and plugins confused when talking about their blogs. A widget is not a plugin and a plugin is not a widget. Think of it this way: a widget does something in your sidebar, a plugin affects your whole blog. So placing an auto responder sign up form in your side bar is done with a widget. A product such as “All In One SEO” is a plugin because it affects the SEO of your whole site.
If you go to this web page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ and look on the left side column you will find many widgets and plugins with ratings from other Word Press users. If there is something you want to do to your blog you will find a widget or a plugin to do it.
Most bloggers use widgets, but there is a lot of discussion about if you should or not, how many, and of course which ones. This decision really comes down to what are you trying to do with your blog?
You have to think about form, function and who is your audience. If you have a blog that is giving investment advice then a widget that shows what the Dow and the Nasdaq is trading at is a good thing.
It’s really common sense. What fits with your blog objectives? However, you will see there are many options out there and it’s wise not to get too much going on in the side bars, because it can be very busy and distracting for your visitors and they may click away before you can communicate your message.
What is Web 2.0 and Should I Care?
Apr 28th
———————————————————
Everyone is talking about Web 2.0 but…
What is it?
How did it come about?
Where is it going?
It sounds like a software program or some highly technological aspect that is getting ready to make its debut does it not? Well, in actuality it is neither of these. Web 2.0 is nothing more than some tools and ideas working together to make the internet a more user friendly and easier world to maneuver. Think about all of the new ideas to come to the internet in the last few years.
This whole concept may include AJAX, social bookmarking, RSS feeds, tags, and blogs. Of course, this does not even begin to encompass the whole concept of web 2.0, but it does give you a relatively good idea. Each and every day, we use Web 2.0 as a whole. With all of the media, graphic intensive websites, and the ease of use, you are experiencing the technology with everything you do, without even knowing it.
There was a web 1.0, a long time ago in “internet years” that is. Really, think about the “old” internet and the “new” internet, which is known as web 2.0. What could you really do? With 1.0, websites were static, they were not attractive in terms of the latest in interactive and animated websites with 2.0. With Web 2.0, updates are as regular and necessary as the sun coming up each day, with 1.0 updates were extremely rare for websites of any nature. Now, let us compare some of the differences, to give you a better picture.
Comparing Web 1.0 with Web 2.0
With Web 1.0 if you really wanted to look something up, you had something similar to an online dictionary. You could look up a definition, but that was about the extent of it. With Web 2.0, you have the concept of Wikipedia, which provides you deep and intuitive information submitted directly by other users. This is so much more than just a simple definition, this is an entire history or background of virtually any topic.
With Web 1.0, you essentially had personal websites. They were not updated all that frequently and they essentially did not do a whole lot. With Web 2.0, blogging is the latest and greatest. Blogging is used as both a personal journal and for business purposes at the same time. Gaining more traffic and more interest than ever before.
With Web 1.0, many webmasters relied upon page views to determine traffic. Now with Web 2.0, cost per click or pay per click are doing the traffic work. Page views are no longer essential in understanding the amount of traffic your website receives. The amount you pay per click is now the best indicator.
Before, if you wanted the news, you had to go looking for it. RSS feeds now do that for you automatically and delivers it directly to you. Many websites have automatic RSS feeds that you can choose to receive and there are one stop type of shops that allow you to sign up for many different feeds at the same time, so you can avoid having to search for the news and headlines.
Tagging is also a Web 2.0 technology. Tags allow users to search for specific items and information that they are looking for. It really simplifies the internet for users everywhere. When a person makes a post on a blog or social bookmarking websites, they can identify tags. When a user searches for these tags, they will find the posts that relate to their search terms.
Essentially, Web 2.0 just makes the internet a more user friendly and easier place to work, play, shop, and research. Now that you know how Web 1.0 has evolved to Web 2.0, where is it going from here?
Seeking Web 3.0
No one can really predict the future of the internet. It is too impossible to tell, however, there are some standards and paths that can lead us in the right direction for predictions. There are so many possibilities for the future of the internet that it is extremely hard to predict. Many people are leaning towards artificial intelligence for the internet. They are also suggesting that computer graphics will become more advanced, web applications will become modular, and internet speeds will increase with web 3.0.
People expect that Web 3.0 will bring innovative ways to build applications. They will be smaller and have the ability to run on multiple devices. Then there is always those who believe that the entire internet will become three dimensional.
There are many different ideas on how Web 3.0 will develop from Web 2.0. It is anyone’s guess and as the internet continues to evolve, the Web of any “version” will become smarter, more interactive, and easier to use with each passing year. The growth of the internet since its birth has been enormous and there is still a lot of room for more growth and potential.
Five Steps to Writing Great Sales Copy & Five Bad Words You Should Not Use
Apr 17th
One of the biggest challenges to selling your product or service online is writing the sales copy. You are basically trying to use text to convey the benefits of your product to the buyer. Hopefully, the prospective buyer has already been searching for the answer to their problem. It is your job to convince them that your offer will satisfy their needs.
You have a product that you believe in and stand behind. Your price is competitive and you offer some incentives to the buyer. The problem is how to write a good, solid sales letter that will lead your prospects to buy from you. There are many ways to write effective sales copy. It is definitely not a cookie cutter science though. Learn to be attentive to the needs of your clients, and explain in simple language why they should buy the product you are selling. It is always in your best interest as a sales copy writer to keep things simple and to the point. With that said, let us move on to what components you should include in your sales letter to make it outstanding.
Start with the main focus of your sales letter: Ask yourself; What is the Unique Selling Position (USP) my company is trying to offer our clients? In other words, how is our product or service uniquely beneficial to the buyer? Answer this question first. Then you will have the basis for writing a compelling online sales message.
The USP must be something that your competitors do not offer, or your company does better for the customer. It might be something about the price, the superiority of your product or even the great service after the sale. Whatever you decide as your unique selling position, be sure to emphasize it more than once using simple down to earth language.
The outline to use for good sales copy includes these things in order of appearance on the page:
1. Benefit Headline. Tell your customer exactly how they will benefit from buying your product now.
2. State your USP in easy to understand text. Let the buyer know they have found a unique solution to their specific need.
3. Give the reader an idea of the many advantages of owning your product. This will keep them interested in reading deeper into your copy to discover if it really is what they want to buy. 3 to 5 bullet points should do it. Make the points clear and try to build desire in the reader’s mind.
4. With one line of definite purpose, restate the main benefit you started the sales copy with in the headline.
5. Next, use a small list of the best features your product has to offer. A feature is something that the product has built into it that makes it special. This is important because here is where the buyer will make up their mind as to whether or not your product is right for them.
You have now captured your prospect’s attention, interest and hopefully their desire. Some copywriters stress that the closing of the sale is the most important part of the sales letter. It is definitely important to emphasize this part of your pitch to the buyer. Usually a good incentive to make the purchase right now is necessary at this time. Use your judgement as to what you want to offer. This will help increase your sales conversion rate.
Five Bad Words Your Should Not Use
Closing the sale really comes down to simply asking for the person to buy your product. It may sound elementary, but do not overlook this part of the process. Experiment with different types of closing statements to see what works best. When you incorporate these elements of good sales copy, you will see an increase in the responses to your offers. Writing your own sales copy can be highly profitable when you follow these guidelines.
