Sitepal is an animated and talking avatar with a lot a customization options, it is one of those products that can either add or reduce your website value, so a careful analysis is required before using sitepal.
Two Biggest Sitepal Mistakes
You should not use sitepal to introduce yourself or your website, there is nothing better than your own personal interaction through your own personal videos.
Any audio that automatically turns on and cannot be turned off is an annoying feature and doesn’t add any value to your website, so sitepal buddies should not be used with auto play functionality.
How To Use Sitepal Effectively
Sitepal itself is a great product that not only builds credibility but also increase conversion rate.
Customer Support Representative
Sitepal buddies are equipped with artificial intelligence to answer frequently asked question in spoken English format. User can customize knowledge base and can use their own image /audio to make sitepal a true customer service representative.
Increase Conversion Rate
An intelligent and talking character that can effectively explain product description on eBay or on your own website is obviously a great tool to increase productivity and conversion rate.
Finally after a lot of controversies (Acquisition and Yahoo-Google Ad Deal) and consistent pressure from shareholders have forced yahoo to increase competition in search industry by expanding their search infrastructure through Boss API (Your search engine with Yahoo’s technology) .Yahoo Boss is a unique system that carries huge earning potential for those companies, individual developers and IT professionals who are innovative enough to exploit this opportunity. It provides complete access to the yahoo’s search engine technology and algorithm of indexing, crawling and ranking with un-limited queries and more flexibility than any other search API.
Why Developer’s Success Is Associated with Innovation
Biggest companies like Microsoft and Yahoo are failing to compete with Search Giant Google, so success of an individual developer is strongly linked with innovation. Hakia is a search engine that has achieved success by using the same Boss infrastructure because of unique innovative social networking (meet others who asked the same query) platform based on search interests.
How To Earn Money With Yahoo Boss
Monetization plan of Yahoo Boss will be introduced in the next phase where yahoo will distribute and share YPN revenue gained from boss search queries, earning and growth potential is obviously huge.
Where To Get More Technical Information
Boss documentation can be found at yahoo developer’s site, In addition to this, yahoo has also introduced a forum where developers can ask technical questions and can share their unique innovative ideas.
Internet Marketing Center offers huge commission to its affiliates and that is the main reason why IMC products are marketed heavily on the internet. Most of its products deliver low satisfaction and BeBiz is another product that has disappointed me.
Why To Sell A Product?
Selling any product online is not so easy, biggest companies like Amazon spends huge amount of money to increase their conversion rates. According to Derek Gehl, BeBiz is a fast way to build an online business but in reality it’s a fast way to develop a website with an attractive sales copy and payment system, building an online business takes time and there is no get rich quick solution(Owning A Website doesn’t Mean Owning A Business).
Internet business now-a-days is all about credibility and most people who are earning online are not selling any product they are just delivering quality information and earning through various monetization options (Google Adsense, Affiliate Marketing).Earning with affiliate marketing depends on your credibility (a stage where people start believing on you) and effective pre-selling.
Where To Get Traffic?
Search engines love unique content and enough content is required to receive enough traffic. A BeBiz website with some product descriptions and few pages of content cannot drive traffic. You will receive some promotional PPC credit with Bebiz but you cannot depend forever on paid search traffic.
Conclusion - Wrong Advices Vs Right Approach
It takes time to develop durable online business and selling products through a web based business is a wrong approach of starting an online business (I’m not talking about big merchants and some exceptional cases), if you want to sell products then eBay probably be the right platform for you. The best solution is infopreneurship with SBI; develop a content rich website to attract high search engine traffic. If a teenager’s website (Anguilla Beaches.com) can receive thousands of visitors per day then why you are confused by the wrong advices of these so called marketing Gurus.
Google adsense is simply the best income solution for infopreneurs and small business owners. Now Google has also entered into the typical affiliate marketing business by acquiring Double Click, one of the finest ad serving company. Youtube (Google’s Company) partners program is also a great monetization option for content publishers.
Earning With Youtube
Broadcasting yourself on Youtube not only build credibility but also bring thousands of visitors to your site. Youtube videos have made pre-selling easy because visitors who visit your website after watching videos are already convinced of your knowledge and abilities. Now content publishers can also earn high amount of income through Youtube partners program, Youtube will share and deposit ad revenue received from partner’s video page into his/her adsense account.
Things To Know Before Applying To The Partners Program
This program is only available in USA,UK and Canada
Make sure all your videos are original, uploading any other video like TV shows or movie trailers will not work
Make sure that your videos attract high traffic otherwise your application may not be accepted.
Google’s Affiliate Network
Traffic of every merchant depends on two main sources (affiliates and search engines), merchants receive pre-sold quality traffic from affiliates and only pay commission when there is any sale. So affiliate traffic is much better and inexpensive than pay per click marketing campaigns. Google want to eat the full share of traffic cake and that is the main reason why they acquired double clicks and launched their own affiliate network. The biggest limitation of this network (double click) is that it is only in few countries while its well established competitors Shareasale and Commission Junction are all over the world.
Internet is a great tool that contains tons of information and learning material but keeping the children safer on the internet is a biggest concern for parents. Recent statistics show an increase in kidnapping and sexual exploitation of children through internet chat rooms. Easy access to adult content and rising hacking trends among children and teens are other two issues that need to be addressed. Latest hacking incident happened when a school boy is charged for hacking his school computer, now faces 38 years in jail. There are many technical ways to protect children on the internet and three most useful tips are discussed below.
Use Safe Search Engines
Safe search engines don’t index adult content and provide quality entertainment to the children. Always set browser’s default page to one of these safe search engines.
Latest monitoring softwares can be used for recording your child’s online activity .I likebig brother because it records every thing including chat, emails and websites URL’S. In addition to that, certain content filtering softwares can also be used.
Install Latest Adware And Malware Remover
Some malwares can redirect any website URL to a hacking, cracking or porn site.So, update your computer with the latest definitions of malwares, adwares and spywares.
Limitations Of These Techniques
These techniques can only be implemented at your home computer, If your children have internet access some where else then I would advise you to read FBI’s “A Parent’s Guide To The Internet Safety” for better understanding.

According to the recent survey(Associated Press-Ipsos), conventional book reading is on decline as 25 %( 1 out of 4) of American adults don’t read books at all. Now people are more connected to the world of internet to fulfill their informational needs, they prefer e-books and other digital media over conventional paper books. So book reading trend is not on decline but there is a paradigm shift from paper books to e-books. Amazon Kindle is a wireless book reading device that was introduced to protect the literary work of quality authors over unprofessional ebook writers. Not only books, this device is also for reading magazines, newspapers and blogs.
Pros And Cons Of Kindle
For some people this device is a complete library as it is connected with the world’s largest book store (Amazon) but for others it’s a colorless and ugly device. Let’s consider its pros and cons in detail.
Why Kindle Is My Favorite Device (Pros)?
Any book purchased from Amazon Kindle Store is delivered directly to the device through whispernet(wireless connectivity)
Due to E link technology, display of kindle is quite similar to a printed paper (no eye strain)
User can subscribe to news papers and magazines
Retail price includes wireless connectivity(whispernet)
Any document (Ms Word, Excel, and Html) can be converted into AZW (Kindle format) by AZW converter or through Amazon’s email service
Books purchased through kindle are less expensive than paper books
Amazon keeps the backup of all purchases made through kindle
The built in memory storage of this device is 256MB;SD memory expansion slot is also present
This device can be connected to the computer with a USB cable
Why Kindle Is Not My Favorite Device
Amazon’s wireless connectivity works only in United States. So users of other countries can not buy books directly from their kindle. Although they can transfer them from computer through USB
Display of kindle is not exactly like a printed paper (a little bit gray like a newspaper)
Extra fee is charged, if users want to transfer their own documents to the kindle through Amazon’s email service
Some people are not happy with its black and white colorless screen
The design of kindle is not much appealing
Kindle books are not transferable to anyone(Amazon’s terms and conditions)
Internet is the information super highway and all successful info publishers(infopreneurs) earn money with Google adsense. Creating content (information) is a time consuming process and requires a lot of hard work,that is why some people are selling ready made websites with hundreds of the pages of content. As we all know that earning online with Google adsense is very simple (Its simple because you just need to create unique and quality content) but not as easy as described by these adsense ready website sellers, they are continuously fishing for innocent newbies.
Why Adsense Ready Websites Are Scams?
Any one can buy these adsense ready websites but only those people earn online who write their own original and quality content .There are many reasons why these websites are scams and some of the are listed below.
1) Google’s Duplicate Content Policy (No Search Engine Traffic)
Content of website that you are going to purchase is already indexed by Google as people have purchased same content or same website many times before. Google’s duplicate content policy clearly states that same content over multiple domains (websites) is considered as “Duplicate Content“, so your site will not be indexed by Google and you are not going to receive any search engine traffic.
2) No Credibility
Good, quality and unique information builds reader’s loyalty and give them a very good reason to come back again and again. But the information on your website is not original and same information is already there on many other website. There is nothing special on your site, why should they subscribe to your newsletter?
3) High Bounce Back Rate
These websites are very poorly designed as their main purpose is to make innocent people fool. Bounce back rate of these ugly websites is much higher than a well designed website.
4) Hosting And Internal Link Scams
There are some sellers that provide adsense ready websites free of charge and only charge the hosting fee. But actually it’s not free; they link your main site with their own individual pages to enjoy free income on your behalf.
Blog is a simple, free and easy way to build an online business. Blogging is easy because there is no html knowledge or html editor needed to publish your content. You don’t even need to link your article page from the main site as few plugins does every thing.Blogger.com and wordpress.com are websites that provide blog hosting free of charge and any one can create a blog at these two services. However, wordpress.org is a free blogging software that can be installed on an independent host.
Which Blogging System Is Right For Me?
To answer this question,we have to consider the pros and cons of all these available blogging options.
Advantages Of Free Hosted Wordpress blog(Wordpress.com)
It’s a free service and can be used to share information and to make your opinion account
User can register their own domain if they are not happy with a free sub domain of wordpress.com
Disadvantages Of Free Hosted Wordpress Blog (Wordpress.com)
The biggest revenue of blogging comes from content matched ads (Google adsense, YPN, Adbrite) .This service does not support java script so Google adsense can’t be used
Plugins have a lot of SEO advantages and are also helpful in arranging your content but this service doesn’t allow open source plugins
You cannot upload your own themes (template)
You don’t have any control on the codes that are being used on your blog
Conclusion: This is a great free service to create a blog for fun, family and friends. But if you want to create a business blog then this may not be a right choice.
Advantages Of Using Free Hosted Blog At Blogger(Blogger.com)

Permalink structure of blogger is a little bit confusing
Conclusion: Blogger is a company that is owned by Google and provides quality free service. Blogger is not only for fun but also for making some money. Although some people earns by blogging on blogger but it is not the best business solution.

Paypal has ruled the world of electronic wallet for many years and till now it’s a monopoly with no real competition. There are a lot of unsatisfied customers of paypal and that was the main reason for Google to diversify itself and launch a payment processing system in the form Google checkout.EBay is the biggest marketplace on the internet and paypal (an eBay company) is the primary payment solution on eBay. Google checkout is launched without a real battle field (banned on eBay) so it’s scope is very limited and can only focus on online merchants,perhaps! could not compete with paypal. Merchants Are Switching from Paypal?
Now merchants are switching to Google checkout or offering both payment solutions together because of two main reasons.
Low transaction cost:
Transaction cost of Google checkout is low as compared to paypal
Checkout fees?
In excess of 10 times your monthly AdWords spend2% + $0.20 per transaction
It’s free if your sales remain < or = 10 times monthly AdWords spent
Paypal Fees?
Transaction Fee =2.9% + .30cents per transaction
Chargeback Scams On Paypal
Google checkout evaluates all the chargeback and reimburses money against fraudulent chargeback attempts. Charge back investigation process of paypal is very lengthy and it may take up to 75 days..
