Keeping Your Employees Motivated in Turbulent Times
As a business owner or manager you are dealing with the fears and anxieties of your employees—both about the well-being of their home and country and the security of their own jobs.To put their feelings in perspective, perhaps you might think back on a difficult financial time of your business, a time when even meeting payroll was in question. Somehow you survived. Your business today is living proof of your survival instincts. Think back on the enormously high level of anxiety you experienced. Resulting from curre

money did I spend versus how much did I make from the ads. I recommend that your monthly expenditure be kept low and that you monitor it for 3-6 months. If you make no other changes, don't expect that your results will vary a great degree after that time.

Five Common Domain Name Myths
With domain name articles and tips floating around all over the Web, most people probably feel that they know a good deal about picking and protecting a domain name. However, some common domain name myths persist. Let’s debunk a few.Myth: Once I register a domain, I can use it forever.Fact: While it’s possible that you’ll keep your registered domain name forever, it’s not guaranteed. Several things can happen that would cause you to lose your domain name. First, you have to register your domain name ea

What is the best way to get traffic to your website? Two dominant strategies are PPC and SEO. Each has its strong points and its weaknesses.

PPC can be very expensive. While SEO is a slower process, PPC advertising allows you to receive instant traffic. So the trick here is to get the maximum return or your investment of time and money.

PPC: Google Adwords is the biggest and best-known service for placing ads for your webpage. When you use Adwords you will have a set of statistics to review to check the efficacy of their placement. While using a service such as Google you will save all the time of searching for relatively appropriate and high-value placements for your ads. You will also save time negotiating ad prices, types (text or banner), duration or price per click - which is a lot of work and can be very time consuming.

PPC: If you do not get good results from Google within one month you will, and should, question the value of their system for your webpage. Google states it has controlled fraudulent clickthroughs - but how much so? You must monitor your campaign carefully to make sure you don't waste money. If you have a good understanding of the laws of natural statistics you can set up some tests.

PPC: If you know nothing about statisitics you may want someone to consult with you on sample sizes, variables, etc. But to keep it simple just ask this question: How much money did I spend versus how much did I make from the ads. I recommend that your monthly expenditure be kept low and that you monitor it for 3-6 months. If you make no other changes, don't expect that your results will vary a great degree after that time.

Marketing Senior Services: Let's Lose the Platitudes
Recently I was invited back to Wisconsin to speak to the Wisconsin Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. They wanted to know more about 2 things….how to get more private pay clients, and my thoughts on how we, as senior providers, can do a better job of marketing our businesses to seniors and adult children of aging parents.

Lessons Learned from One Entrepreneur on Vioxx
For the past ten-months, I tried every drug from the popular Vioxx, Celebrex and Aleve, to the long-standing Percocet, Ibruprofen 800, with some other fabulous ones like Fexeril, Ulltram, Naproxyn, and Antevert. (And, this is my short list).I hate drugs and I try very hard to keep them out of my body. For example, for five years I was either pregnant or nursing so I knew the whole “What class is this drug in?” drill.Unfortunately, there’s a time and place for everything.

How To Answer Employee Surveys
It's not only customer service that businesses are concerned about. Everyone knows that a business is only as good as its employees. Clearly, hiring good employees is the key to a good business. Of course, hiring them is a different matter from keeping them, and a more crucial one at that. So don't be surprised if a notice or memo about employee surveys is making rounds in your office. Your employer just wants to gauge your satisfaction about the company. But more than simple yes/no options, employee surveys are meant to

Rise Above Cattiness
Cattiness is something no one ever wants to be accused of doing. But the reality is, at one time or another you’ve probably engaged in it, and most likely, you’ll do it again. This trait can include any number of unfortunate behaviors from not saying what we really intend to say, to saying things in a harsh tone of voice. It also includes gossiping, cynical remarks, and on a grander scale, outright rudeness. Cattiness can stand in the way of marketing your business since what you say and how you say it is critical in

SEO is a different process - requiring more work and patience than PPC, but requiring no cash outlay. Consideration of SEO begins from day one - when you purchase a domain name, or register your URL.

SEO must be considered throughout the design of your website because search engine spiders must be able to read all of your strategic use of tags, titles, content of body text, placement of keywords, etc.

SEO demands a lot of content that is related to your keywords. And these articles and lengthy descriptions of products and services must be added to and updated. These are hardly visitor-friendly, but search engines still rely on this now archaic system.

SEO also demands LINKS. These links must be TO your website FROM other websites sharing this content and link approach to SEO. This linking "frenzy" has been refined to a "minuet" and is scrutinized as an art form in the spiders' algorithms. But you will spend a lot of time and effort on getting inbound links from spider-friendly websites because these websites are very jealous of their spider relationships.

SEO is slow in its reaction to quality of content - partly because it has little regard for conciseness or content based on graphics. RSS feeds are read by spiders as a positive - again based on responses to text - how it evaluates respondents is questionable however. But the supposition by SEO algorithms designers is that people who like your site will just link to it.

SEO: Search engines is probably penalizi

Building a business is like constructing a house. You want to build your home on a solid foundation and then make it your own by personalizing it with your strengths, maybe interior design, painting or decorating, and outsource the areas that are your weaknesses, perhaps plumbing, roofing or electrical wiring. In the same way you want to build your business around your strengths and where you have weaknesses you should look into outsourcing work. So what areas are you strongest in? What are your business’s strengths? Sometime these two things start off being one and the same, but as you add more to the mix of your business than just you, the business develops its own strengths and the business should be built around those.

A recent study undertaken by Barclays has found that small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) require 'better' insurance deals.
