Are you really getting what you paid for from paid blog reviews?
"I think what you're paying for is not only the link, but the opinion of the person writing the review. You would hope they would give an honest opinion of your product or service, and you would hope they would have a good opinion of it! This person's readers most likely find this person's opinion significant, and may take his advice if he says "buy this product."""OMG! The Coupons Are Here!" or why teens love direct mail.
"I love this post because its so true! I think the key is to put some offers in the mail. That means coupons, discounts, buy one get one free, or something. If you let me know you're having a big sale. I won't care. You told me that online. If you give me 30% off i'll be hooked."Marketing to Your Customer Types
"Great article! I wrote a similar article talking about how you should market to different customer personality types: http://emarketinggroup.wordpress.com/2008/04/30/holly-buchanan-increases-website-conversions-part-ii-of-ii/ Enjoy, and thanks for the great article!"Flash Files Can Now Be Indexed by Search Engines
"This is an incredibly advancement in SEO- but I would still advise against using Flash too much- as cool as they may look, many users simply do not like them, and you tend to have more problems with browser plug ins and rendering in the right browsers. They'll be able to find you, but maybe they won't be able to see you. Developer Beware."Subscribe

The High Cost of a 'Free Credit Report'
"I really wish there was a comment section on the page the article appears on- thanks so much for submitting this article. It's fascinating. I was aware that freecreditreport.com wasn't exactly, "free" but didn't know how they got you. It's one of those annoying programs that say "sign up and we'll send you this stuff for free, but we'll start charging you monthly unless you cancel." We all forget to cancel, and don't have the option to say "i'll take the free stuff but I don't want to be charged" up front- so we get charged for that first month, when we realize it happened and we finally cancel. I wonder what the cancellation percentage is at that time period. Can you imagine working at THAT customer service department? You'd get call after call of "why are you charging me." If your customer doesn't know why they are being charged. Then you ARE DECEIVING them, plain and simple. It doesn't matter if its "legal" or not. I hate how they say they are targeting younger individuals, as well. Why do you think their targeting that age? They're comfortable online- giving their credit card number is no big deal, and they don't read the small print. They probably haven't gotten fooled with these tactics before so they're likely to be less cautious and not read the small print. Just bad business is what it is."
