Employee Motivation through Recognition
Managers are often confronted with high employee attrition. For most managers the easiest solution when a valuable employee resigns his job is to offer more benefits in terms of money and perquisites. But rarely does it work. Exit interviews often point out low moral due to infrequent appreciation and recognition of the contribution of the employee leading to de-motivation and disenchantment with the job.Improving employee motivation and morale is the easiest method of improving organizational productivity and cut down employee turnovers. Replacing good employee co

Obsession With Triviality - An Opinion
In the world today, particularly in this country, there seems to be total obsession with the most trivial of affairs in every day life. In the midst of international disasters, there seems to be unhealthy interest in the incarceration of a totally self-indulgent offspring of one of the nation's oldest and most aristocratic families. In the midst of world turmoil, is this really that important?With the pending national election of a new president, and a large number of candidates in the race, much more television time is given to the childish cat fight of a pair of star

I'm sure you've all heard the saying 'Build it and they will come'. Although that may have been true a few years ago, now we must work, and work hard, to get visitors to our websites.

You can't always control who visits, however, you can have some control over who stays.

Here are a few website no-no's that I have come accross that made me leave without even clicking past the first page.

1. Slow loading pages - For those of us still on dial-up internet access this is one of the primary reasons for not hanging around.

If you think you are going to load your page up with lots of images and javascripts to make it look nice and do great things, think again. They slow down the loading of the page. Save that stuff for later pages when you have your visitors' attention. If you offer them something they came to find they will have a little more patience as the remaining pages load.

2. Curser followers - We've all seen them, those little dots or letters that follow the curser around the page. They are so annoying that I don't even bother to read the first paragraph.

OK, so maybe there is a place for them. If you have a site based on entertaining children then perhaps you can use them effectively. However, if your site is focused on getting signups for your affiliate programs try to keep it professional looking.

3. Flash Intro - These are not as bad as they used to be due to the fact that most search engines can spider and index them now.

What is annoying though is when a site has a flash intro and does not give the visitor a way to skip it and go directly into the site. Again this is particularly bad for those with dial-up connections. If I have to sit and watch a little colored bar that says 'loading', guess what, I'm gone. Always give your visitor a means to skip the intro if they want to.

How To Market To Government Agencies
Government companies are the biggest buyers, yet the least untapped sector. The most strenuous task in the exercise to sell to government agencies is their bureaucratic patterns of making purchases. The seemingly indefinite tiers in the management side and altogether different purchase criterions (for instance filling a tender for your offerings) make this sector a challenge for the marketer who is at time is unable to get even the first start.Where to Enter:It is important to understand that this is a big opportunity and the kind of volumes here referred to can

454,000 Searches Online For What!
A friend of mine asked me recently for assistance in setting up his website which he planned to be a place where people could find help and advice on common problems.I thought that this aspect was well covered with sites like Wikipedia, which had highly detailed descriptions of complex tasks and events. Imagine my surprise when I was shown some of the unusual things that people search for on the internet each year including 454,000 searches for “HOW TO TIE A TIE” ( Obviously my mother has not been doing her duty and showing them the good old Windsor Knot that she taugh

Write An E-book And Make A Ton Of Money
If you're a student of the internet in any way shape or form, you've come across this wonderful piece of information, right? The sales pitches are slicker than a banana peel in the middle of an ice rink. These sales pitches will make it seem like breathing is difficult when compared to using whatever the hell information these weasels are selling. And for some reason, when said information is delivered electronically, it's about three times as valuable as a printed book. How is this possible? There are no printing costs. No shipping costs. No costs associated with ha

To Know You Is To Love You - How Relationship Marketing Boosts Small Business Cash Flow
One of the cardinal rules of small business is that people want to do business with people who they know, like, and trust. That desire holds the key to both delight your customers and boost your cash flow by developing and consistently implementing relationship marketing. Your customers get what they want (a solution to their problem) and you get what you want (smoother cash flow).Relationship marketing is all about letting your customers or potential customers get to know you. It’s not about trying to make a sale. The goal with relationship marketing is to communicate

There are definitely some color schemes you should stay away from. For example, red letters on a black background are extremely hard to read. I'm sure you have come accross some yourself that were sure-fire triggers for the 'back' button.

Simple black letters on a white background is your best bet for easy reading. Also be sure to keep your paragraphs short and have lots of 'white space' on your page.

I'm not saying not to use colors in your site, there have been many studies that indicate certain colors trigger certain responses, however, you really need to experiment to get the right combination.

5. Animated Banners - DO NOT put animated banners on your home page.

Banners, animated or not, are images and can slow down the loading of your page. Also, animated banners are distracting and if you distract your visitor from the main purpose of your site......there goes a possible sale.

I know that many people just starting out are using Banner Exchanges as a means of getting visitors to their site. That's OK just don't put them on your home page. Put them at the bottom of all the rest of the pages if you want, just not on your index page. Remember, if your home page is strong enough to capture your visitors' interest, they will click on more pages and you will get your banner impressions.

6. Too much on one page - I've seen some sites where the owner has just about every affiliate program he belongs to on his home page.

If I type a keyword into a search engine and click on the first site that comes up, I want to be able to find what I'm looking for without having to sift through paragraph upon paragraph of other advertisements and affiliate links. If your visitors don't think they will find what they came to find, you'll lose them.

You should use your home page to welcome your visitors and tell them exactly what they want to know. If your site is about pet grooming, tell them that right from the start. Let t

Business cards aren't something that most people concern themselves with too much. You meet someone, you trade cards, and you have their details if you ever need to get in touch.

How you structure your email campaign is critical to the level of income you will make from your email campaign. You may have read things in the past about how you should send only content and free gifts the first 4-7 emails, and then add promotional emails after that. I want to debunk that theory right now. It may work for some people, but I have found that I make far more money of I start sending out sales pieces earlier in the game. Now, my results might be skewed because the bulk of the people who subscribe to my email list are either referred to me by someone they trust, or they have read one or more of my articles, and already trust me some......

Know the differance between search engines. They do not act the same, so your results will be very different from each.
