Hello, And a warm welcome to all new subscribers!
o Rant
Just a little Rant...
...on the price of pork!
First, I must confess, I am subscribed
to hundreds of newsletters mainly in the
web promotion and web marketing fields.
I get on average about 15 or 20 each day
faithfully into my inbox.(beats getting spam!)
Just barely!
I have a special email account of course for
all these enlightening emails.
I subject myself (for the learning experience)
to endless sales pitches on the latest info
products, software, and how to get rich mumbo
jumbo silliness.
It's almost addicting - almost.
Some - a rare few - are quite helpful and
go immediately into my save folder. These
shine like diamonds thru all the muck and
can be easily spotted. These marketers go on
my 'A' list and they're not who I am
ranting about today.
Lately, however, from some well known names
I am getting more and more porous pitches for
the sale of some 'vital, can't live without
SEO info, some miraculous software that will
put me into Google Heaven with one click or
line of code on my website.
Give poor sam a break!
Most of that stuff, if it's works at all
... will only work for a month or two and then
more than likely will you get banned.
And the price of dreams are going up lately...
A while back ... these marketers... and don't
get me wrong they are many legitimate info
marketers out there with very good products
that you should buy...
would offer these products up for a reasonable
price ... under fifty bucks...rarely over
a hundred. So what if most of it's just
a pipe dream ... keep you happy for a couple
of weeks dreaming of all those riches.
That's worth a few bucks.
But lately I am getting pitches for products
that are priced in the 1000, 2000 or even the
5000 or 10000 dollar range. The tapes from
this seminar, the stats from these logs are
worth 10's of thousands to you...and we
are only offering a limited number or
only 8 copies are left...
packages of CD's and Video's and workbooks
that will transform your websites or your
life - which ever comes first!
The sad part is ... these marketers know how
to market... know how to write the killer
sales letter...know how to push the right
buttons... they are true professionals in
every sense of the word. Biblical even!
What does it matter if 95% of the people
buying this stuff will never use what they're
sellin' ... will never know how to use it.
And if that wasn't enough... lately, they have
raised their prices... way, way, way up!
Hey you!
The cost of dreams are priced too high folks...
if you're one of those smart slick marketers out
there making millions off the dreams of some
poor sod --- shame on you.
Stop it!
Your information is not worth that much!
Don't get too greedy!
The dreams you'll selling have become too
high priced...do us all a favor...
Lower the costs of your dreams...
Please!

Extreme Makeover for Your WebSite
Recently, I took a real hard
look at my home base web site.
http://www.bizwaremagic.com/
I didn't like what I saw so I make some
real changes. A whole list of them in
fact. Extreme makeover for my site.
I put in a lot of things that were missing
- the extras that make a site look
more professional. Favicon, blog, rss, etc.
(you can see a list of these if you
want to do the same to your site - just
click this link)
Website Makeover
I also changed the concept of my site -
I now base it around 'direct answers' to
'direct questions' anyone owning a web
business or web site would ask.
For example:
How do I put a blog on my site?
How do I get a RSS Feed for my site or product?
How do I build an opt in list? etc.
I give direct, step-by-step instructions on
how to solve these problems. If I don't have
the information on my site - I create it or
point you in the right direction.
I am also targeting 'keyword phrases' on certain
pages and offering solutions to these keyword
questions. I have been doing this in my Newsletter
for some time but now I am bringing my website
around to the same concept.
Give people what they're looking for...
I have also recently, taken this 'keyword question'
marketing to the next level and extended it out over
the web!
How?
I am doing this by writing articles based on those
'keyword questions' and placing them in sites
like 'ezinearticles.com'. Other webmasters pick
up your articles and place them on their
sites.
You have one way links to your 'keyword questions'
- the higher the quality of the article - the
higher the level of PR of the site that takes
your article. (Is what I found!)
See some of my bait here: here.
If you're a well seasoned web marketer - nothing
of this is new to you. But it's something
you should try if you're just starting out.
So if you're interested in An Extreme Make Over
for your site just click this link: here.
Of course, it doesn't really have to be extreme
- you can just make a few improvements and
touch ups.
Been watching too many reality TV shows lately,
they have invaded my brain cells to the very core
... everything turning to mush!!!
But that's another story for another day!!!

This one hit my radar this week and I will be
checking it out fully - writing articles on it, etc.
Could play a big factor in online marketing
in the very near future as the popularity of
blogging goes up.
It's sort of a 'keyword questions' for RSS or
Blogs. Looks very interesting.
I have included some tags in this post.
Hope you find them!!!
But I need to really do some checking
before I comment further on this one.

All the best and have a great week,
