Hey you guys and galls. I forgot to tell you, now you can follow me on twitter! http://twitter.com/duskicIf you wanna meet me on other social networking services, check out the “meet me - social networking” page. I’d love to hear from You, even if it’s just a hello. Just don’t be evil

I just saw this ad from Greenpeace, and it just blew me away! I am not much of a protester, radical, green guy, but I know Earth is still our only home. When I was a kid, I loved that cartoon on Cartoon Network called Captain planet Like the information, energy also has to be free. We need to find a way to shut down the refineries, fix the garbage problem like the one in Naples in south Italy. We need to stop fixing, and start eliminating! Prevention is the best medication / cure, haven’t we learned that? Stop pointing fingers at others! Can we breathe money? Can we find better ways to earn money?  

Is it pointless to type www.duskic.com instead of duskic.com? Did you know that there is No-www movement?

You can find out more about them at no-www.org

 dep·re·cate (dep’ri-kat’):
To make invalid or obsolete by removing or flagging the item. When commands or statements in a language are planned for deletion in future releases of the compiler or rendering engine, they are said to be deprecated. Programmers should begin to remove them from the source code in subsequent revisions of their programs.

 Bottom line is, if you don’t need it, why use it? This is simpler, faster, easier to say. Off course you can always loose second and a half saying double you, double you, double you. And then again, how many domains do you say, write, hear?

The title says it all, read more on the website.

LOL, not yet. We just measured a ping between Paris and Washington (across the Atlantic Ocean). It took ping 86 milliseconds to perform the travel. Which means…

86 ms per 6147 km

8600 ms per 614700 km

8,6 seconds per 614700 km

1 hour= 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

3600 seconds (or 1h) / 8,6 sekundi = 418,60

614700 km X 418,60 = 257,313,420 km

257,313,420 km/h ping

1,079,252,849 km/h speed of light (source Wikipedia)

Well you can always buy the backorder service that some providers offer. So it instantly snaps the domain the moment it’s available for registration. But when is the domain available again? Is the domain registered till a certain day, but you still can’t register it? This picture will clearly explain all the periods a domain goes through.

Well Google has done it again. The best april fools joke on the net is always Google’s! It seems they always make a website for the occasion

Everybody and their mom literally are starting to get on-line now if it’s not to check there myspace it’s to go buy that knock off designer purse on eBay. So you want to know how you can get them to come to your website or click you ad. Well your going to get everything you need to know to get started with these seven secrets of super affiliates.

Secret number 1 If you disagree with this first secret than you might as well stop reading. The first secret is the secret the law of attraction, to keep it simple (If you want more information check it out on Google) keep a positive mind set, know what outcome you want and expect that, feel what it’s going to feel like when those commission chechs start coming in and imagine it. If you have to print of the page that shows your commissions and write in the amount you want to see every month do it. Just feel it.

Secret number 2 OK now were on to all the technical stuff. All Super Affiliates know you have to have a good product but not only a good product but one that sells. If the owner of the product sales page isn’t converting viewer’s into buyers than you sending your traffic isn’t going to do much either. You can always pre-sell the product but usually that means you have tested the product first hand. Check the stats for the product if possible and see if it’s a good product.

Secret number 3 Now once you have a good product you need to make a landing page where you will send visitors to. Important note in most cases it is not good to shove the product down there throat as soon as they get to your landing page give them more information on the topic and passively but yet aggressively (you have to find the happy medium) guide them to the product, give them a plan of action that includes the product.

By the way if you choose to send the traffic directly to the merchant you lose out on repeat buyers, keeping track of your stats and so much more.

OK so you found a product and made your landing page now you need veiwer’s or traffic.

Secret number 4 Traffic! Yes this is one of the most important ingredients in fact without traffic there are no commissions. There are a few major traffic sources writing articles, pay per click, joint ventures, search engine optimization, and a few more. Once you get the traffic the next most important part is converting that traffic.

Secret number 5 Converting traffic, if you send your prospects to your landing page you have to give them a reason to buy your product. Try giving them reasons like why the product will make there life better, try to focus on how the product or service is going to benefit them. Most people love when you break everything down for them into a plan so make a plan that will benefit them by using your product. Show them the difference between doing it with and without it. Now your making some money your one of 90% but there are a few more things you need.

Secret number 6 Research, there are so many things you could look at and tweaking all of them could have a huge impact on you business but one of the main things to research is keywords, keywords are what the Internet works on keywords and links basically these are the two ways everyone finds what the want.

Secret number 7 Repeat, yes that’s it find another product and repeat it all over, it will get easier every time.

Now you know the seven secrets go forth and multiple you affiliate income so you can focus on the more important parts of life. Stop thinking about it and just do it but make sure you can feel it first.

Whether you’re operating your own online business, wanting to start one, running affiliate programs, or wanting to advertise in e-zines -or sell advertising in your own e-zine or on your web site, it’s important to know and understand the relevant terms used in e-business today.

Hits:

You see this term everywhere, and often, it is misunderstood and misused. Each hit to a web site doesn’t necessarily represent one visitor. Generally, hits refer to not only the web page itself, but all files requested, including all graphics.

Therefore, if a page has 25 graphics, each visitor to that page represents 26 hits - one hit for the page and 25 for the graphics. As you can see, hits can be very misleading when representing web site traffic.

Page View - Also known as impressions:

As the term indicates, this refers to the number of times each page on your site is viewed by a visitor. If your site has 20 pages, and a visitor goes to all pages, that visitor generated 20 page views.

Keep in mind, every time that same visitor returns to your site, they will again generate more page views, regardless of the time between visits. Please note that some affiliate programs use the term page views or impressions synonymously with unique visitors.

Unique Visitors:

This, by far, is the best and most reliable measure of traffic. A unique visitor is one visitor to a web site, regardless of how many pages he or she visits or how many pages or files/graphics the site contains.

Unique visitors are counted only once for a specific period of time -depending upon how the site statistics are configured. Generally, a visitor is only counted once in a thirty day period, no matter how many times they may have returned during that time.

Keep in mind, this time period varies wildly in the industry, so when talking about unique visitors, make sure you know how long it takes for a visitor to be counted again.

CTR - Click Through Ratio:

Used primarily in affiliate programs and advertising, this is the ratio between the total impressions of a banner or link and the number of times a site visitor actually clicks on (or executes), the banner or link.

For example, if a banner/link had 10,000 impressions in a month, but the advertiser’s banner/link was only actually clicked 2,000 times during that same period, the CTR would be 20%.

CPC - Cost Per Click:

This represents the amount of money (or other consideration), an advertiser would pay to the site owner each time their banner or link was clicked by a site visitor.

CPI - Cost Per Impression:

This represents the amount of money (or other consideration), an advertiser would pay to the site owner each time their banner or link was viewed by a site visitor.

CPM - Cost Per Thousand:

This is the amount an advertiser would pay a site owner for every thousand units. I’m using the term UNITS to represent whatever the site owner and advertiser agreed to base payments on - per click, per impression, per subscriber (in e-zine advertising), etc.

For example, if you were being paid $.20 cents for each click through, and in a month your site generated 10,000 click throughs for a specific advertiser, you would be paid $2,000.

There are many more terms you should become familiar with, but these are the most commonly used terms with regard to web site traffic, affiliate programs, and web site and/or e-zine advertising.

I hope this helps in your future marketing decisions.

The idea of article marketing story is to pre-sell the idea of the landing page by giving useful information and writing the article in a catchy way. It must create enthusiastic waiting mood and make the reader really to want something from the Author Box.

When he has read your article, the reader is warm and eager to click your link. Your article marketing story has touched different sides of the topic and you have used maybe 500-1.000 words for that.

When the reader has read that all, comes “The Moment of Truth”, he clicks the link in the Author Box. What happens? What kind of an experience is coming? Excited or another kilometer long story, which repeats the same arguments, now maybe with other words. More reading, huh! No more thank you and he quits!

Or something better. After reading the article marketing story he is eager to act, to do something. This is a moment, like in Xmas, when he deserves a surprise, a gift, a newsletter, income course or ebook. You have to make him even more excited. Now he is delighted and is willing to seek more surprises from your web site.

Now you have his name and address in your optin list and you can put the autoresponder to work. This is the major idea of an effective landing page. The follow ups are very important and you can mail him a lot of useful, quality material concerning different aspects of your business.

To be able to find a working landing page you can test different versions. Article marketing is a flexible media for this. You simply use different links in The Author Box and see how many of article readers will click the link and how many of them will fill in his name and email address.

To increase the effectiveness of the landing page it is wise to change the copy and the gift or lay-out every now and then, because many visitors are repeated visitors. By changing the free gift you can give them fresh ideas and a reason to visit again. This is a real customer service.

I want to stress the idea of the first impression. If the first impression is bad, it is almost impossible to change it afterwards. But another way round, if it is good, the visit experience will be good, which will lead to bigger website sales and repeated visits.

The copy of the landing page must be short. You just thank the visitor and want to give him a useful gift. What a visitor must do is only fullfilling his name and email address. Nothing else. He understands that those are required so that he is able to donload something safely.
