    Super Affiliate Strategies Part 3
    In our previous Super Affiliate Strategies articles, we went over ways to increase your web site's click through ratio. Today we are going to take an entirely different approach, this time we are going to be promoting affiliate programs outside of your web site.I realize that there are a lot of affiliates that don't have their own web site and are looking for effective ways to promote their affiliate programs. You don't need to have your own web site to send targeted traffic to your affiliate program. In this article we are going to go over a few ways to effectively and profitably promote any affiliate program. In order

    Public Relations for High Rises
    Public relations for high-rises is often difficult because many people do not want to see giant buildings built in their city as a they call it an eyesore. However beautiful high-rise buildings are hardly an eyesore, as they actually add to the community and make it look very important. Of course, those people who have lived there a long time do not want to see more buildings in the area and they certainly do not want to see high-rises.In fact they will go out of their way to try to kill a project at the planning commission stage whether or not they have good concern. Sometimes they say that the building may cast a s
    My recent quest to understand and implement trackback on my blog has left me with more questions than answers. It seems that in an attempt to bring relevant blog entries together, there are (surprise, surprise) competing technologies.

    First there is the issue of bringing relevant blog entries together. What's the point and should we bother?

    I believe that although blogging is primarily a sole pursuit, the ability for people to comment, refute, correct, or admire a blog entry more deeply than a simple commenting system allows is the next step in making blogging more meaningful, and possibly more accountable.

    So how do we do it?

    The three main players (it seems, feel free to add someone if I've missed them) seem to be Technorati (http://www.technorati.com), Haloscan (http://www.haloscan.com), and native blog commenting systems.

    Technorati seems to be popular amongst the established blogging community - the users who understand the Technorati 'Cosmos' and what it means. I think that Technorati is deliberately vague about what their system does and how it does it as there is no documentation that I can find on the Technorati site (other than an 'About' page obviously written by a marketer). I assume that the name Technorati is a play on the word Illiminati which perhaps gives us a hint to Technorati's lack of explanation on how they work. Maybe we're just supposed to 'get it'. While Technorati seems solid and has a large subscriber base, I think (again, no documentation) that only Technorati subscribers are considered part of the 'Cosmos'. There are millions of blogs out there that aren't participating in, and therefore not accounted for by, Technorati.

    I just ran across Haloscan yesterday and implemented their trackback system into my blog. Haloscan offers a central commenting and trackback facility for any type of web page, not just blogs. The idea is that the comments and trackbacks of a page are kept in one central repository rather than scattered all over the blogsphere on each individual blog. When considering blogs specificially, I don't see the logic in this. Since all comments must reside somewhere - what's the difference between having them reside on my blog or on some other server? Unlike trackback, I think all blogware supports comments.

    Start a Technical Writing Service
    Technical writing services are employed to explain the details of a topic in a way that is easily understood by the readers. In todays information age, technical writing jobs are increasingly common. One would think that, eventually, everything useful will have been written! This is not the case, however, and your home-based technical writing company probably has a better chance for success today than at any time in the past.Business plans, technical report writing, grant writing, instruction manuals, and business correspondence are just a few of the more common types of technical writing jobs available.

    So What Do You Value in Your Team?
    Think about yourself and your will think about others. That is, if you are teaming up with colleagues or with friends.But what do you value? And what does this mean for your contribution to the team. But first things first; what do I value?Pleasure for example. Work is not the best place to look for pleasure, but that does not mean that activities should be boring. Make sure that you get some fun in the team, it certainly increases the team spirit.A sense of duty is required to do a job, but it is even more important in a team. Hopefully others values this as much as you do, but that does not automatically

    3 Simple Rules For Great Meetings
    Meetings in our workplaces are getting worse each year. They are longer, have more participants, often involve remote employees and they rarely achieve as much value as the time investment would warrant. We know that meetings are often not viewed by participants as worthwhile—at least not as worthwhile as whatever is on their wireless devices which they try to use clandestinely, but always unsuccessfully.What is it that can make meetings more productive? We believe that there are three simple rules that can turn ineffective meetings into events that can yield business results.The three simple rules are:

    The Key To Buying A Business - Getting Good Deals!
    I’m sure, at some point, some of us have that itching desire to “be your own boss”. We imagine all the wonderful benefits of calling the shots, deciding the direction of the business, and having heaps of money because of successful businesses.Some of us then decided to take the natural step and “just do it”. We would then proceed to dip into our savings, borrow money from friends and financial institutions, or perhaps sell some equities we are holding on to. And we merrily register a company and start working! The scenario sounds really familiar!That was me! I sold off my home to raise capital for my ventures int

    The trackback part is interesting because it actually provides a service to people (like me) who don't have trackback available natively on their blogware. It works well, has some features such as moderation, and generally provides what it promises. The only change I would like to see is the ability to implement the trackback code right into my page rather than having it in a pop up window. I really like the commenting/trackback ping layout of Blizza Blizza (http://www.chrislawson.net/blog).

    I also ran across a somewhat related technology called Gravatar (

    Finally, the last little bit of magic is Google. Google has many 'operators' and one of them is the 'link' operator. Typing 'link: www.somesite.com' into Google will reveal all the sites on the Internet that link to somesite.com. The data returned by Google for my site is much more extensive than Technorati, but it is also very out of date. I know I am linked to (by using Technorati and by discovering it through surfing) yet many of these links do not show up on Google.

    So which technology will win, if one does at all? I'm in favour of trackback. It's easy, all the big blog platforms support it, and it has a good format. By that I mean that a typical trackback entry contains a 200-ish word summary of the entry so a visitor can decide whether they want to bother reading the whole entry before clicking on it. As well it breeds inter-linking between blogs of a like nature, or at least between blog entries of a like nature.

    Just because I like it doesn't mean trackback is going to win, there are problems with it. Roy - the administrator of a large blogging site called Tabulas (http://www.tabulas.com) - fo
