Make More Money With These Great Internet Marketing Tips ...

You can assess the results of online marketing campaigns with sophisticated programs that measure the sales versus the number of visitors to your site. There are a wide variety of companies that provide tracking software to determine how many visitors a website has, along with the number of sales that those visits trigger.

You can always put some products together in a bundle and sell them at a discount. You should be clear in your marketing of what the offer is and what it entails.

One of the top internet marketing ideas is to give clients additional money off if they spend more than a specified amount of money. For example, give a 10% discount to any customer who spends more than $200 at your store in an one-year period. This is a smart move to get customers to buy more of your products.

Keep careful tabs on the information you give to your customers when using internet marketing to promote your small business. The content should be valuable to your customers, and it should be different from content on other sites. It is important to keep your site updated so that users will always have the newest information about your business.

Make several different links throughout a site, but then create a central hub. It is nice to have variety in your page, but it should also have a structure.

Offer people a guarantee when you market your products on the Internet. Your customers like to know that they are not going to lose money by buying your product. Guarantees, in practice, can take any of several different forms. Try different kinds of guarantees when you are setting them up. Match different types of guarantees to different types of products.

To increase the quality of your internet marketing, start blogging. A frequently updated blog is a great way for you to reach customers, and provide them with information about your products. Blogs will also increase your content. This will raise your visibility with search engines and increase visitor traffic.

A way to guarantee future sales on your website is to offer a subscription service to your customers. The subscription can include a discount for future, planned purchases of whatever product the customer buys from you.

Address any complaints personally. You might want to use outsourcing for your business needs, but this could cause customers to become even more dissatisfied. When an unhappy customer sends you an email, give them a personal response that offers a solution to their issue.

You already have all of the tools that you need in order to be successful with internet marketing. Fancy computer programs and overpriced get-rich-quick schemes can?t compare to a person with knowledge and the desire to get the job done. Success can be realized through hard work and wise marketing decisions.

It?s not imperative to spend thousands of dollars on a marketing consultant. A quick search on the internet can offer many free resources to help you with your marketing needs. Just a few of these resources could be joining a forum, reading blogs about marketing, going to a business conference or seminar, or downloading e-books.

Internet marketing should produce further marketing campaigns. If you can make a cycle that includes customers and a search they often use, they can locate your business and purchase your products.

Internet marketing means taking advantage of every possible software advancement that comes up in modern technology. If you are not following the trend and missing some opportunities, your company will not be successful. Prove that your company is on the forefront of technology, and your customers will be apt to purchase your products.

Make sure you try incorporating prizes in an unique way. For example, you could have a word-search contest by hiding words in an article. Challenge your visitors to find the words, and win a prize! After they find them all, give them a special offer or discount. Getting your customers to participate in your website will make your site more fun and personable, making them comfortable when buying from you.

As discussed at the start of this article, background knowledge is vital to Internet marketing success. Hopefully, you have found this article inspirational, leading you towards new strategies and tools you can use to get better Internet marketing results. Use the ideas from this article and enjoy your success.

Obama to graduates: 'A new feeling about America'

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ? President Barack Obama declared Wednesday the world has a "new feeling about America" and more respect for its leadership, weaving re-election themes into a commencement speech to jubilant graduates of the U.S. Air Force Academy.

"We can say with confidence and pride: The United States is stronger, safer and more respected in the world," Obama told more than 1,000 graduates, dressed in their blue dress coats and yellow sashes for a ceremony in the Air Force football stadium.

In characterizing the changes under his watch, Obama used a speech before a military audience to make it clear that he thinks "American is exceptional" ? a counterargument to Republican Mitt Romney, his rival for the White House, who has challenged Obama's belief in America.

And Obama had other unmistakable rebuttals to Romney in the graduation speech, delivered hours before he shifted toward political fundraising out West.

Obama said the United States "led from the front" in an international military campaign in Libya, countering a Romney assertion that the president has led from behind in world affairs. And Obama insisted the U.S. will maintain is military superiority in the world, amid Romney's charges Obama is poised to weaken U.S. defenses.

Obama told the cadets that they are the first class in nearly a decade to graduate into a world that has no Osama bin Laden, no war in Iraq and no questions about when the war in Afghanistan will end.

The president said a disappearing "dark cloud of war" will mean a less strained and better prepared military, and more use of other U.S. power ? diplomatic, economic and humanitarian.

"Even as we've done the work of ending these wars, we've laid the foundation for a new era of American leadership," Obama said. "And now, cadets, we have to build on it. Let's start by putting aside the tired notion that says our influence has waned, that America is in decline. We've heard that talk before."

The president spoke in Colorado just as Romney was across the street from the White House, delivering a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in which he condemned Obama's record on education. Obama also reiterated the economic themes of his campaign, spelling out a vision of debt reduction with targeted spending.

Obama was keeping up a presidential tradition of speaking to one of the service academies every year at graduation time. His speech followed a diplomatic flurry in which he hosted the NATO summit in Chicago, where allies cemented an exit strategy for the Afghanistan war, and the G-8 summit at Camp David in Maryland.

"There's a new feeling about America," Obama said. "I see it everywhere I go, from London and Prague, to Tokyo and Seoul, to Rio and Jakarta," Obama said. "There's a new confidence in our leadership."

NATO allies this week affirmed that the war in Afghanistan will halt at the end of 2014. The final U.S. troops left Iraq at the end of last year.

Since 2009, Obama has delivered commencement addresses at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., and the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New London, Conn. Obama's commencement speech in Colorado was his last of the 2012 spring season.

Following his speech, the president was headed to fundraisers in Denver and California's Silicon Valley.

Rivera work poised to set new auction record in NY

This undated image released by Sotheby's New York shows Diego Rivera's 1939 oil on canvas painting "Ni?a en Azul y Blanco," (Retrato de Juanita Rosas a los Diez A?os de Edad) that will be auctioned with other Latin American artworks on May 23-24 at Sotheby's in New York. (AP Photo/Sotheby's New York)

NEW YORK (AP) ? Mexican artist Diego Rivera's 1939 oil painting "Girl in Blue and White" is headlining Sotheby's Latin American art auction in New York.

If it sells for the high end of its $4 million to $6 million estimate, it could double the artist's previous record of $3 million.

The painting, "Ni?a en azul y blanco," is a portrait of 10-year-old Juanita Rosas and is from a period in which Rivera captured the innocence of children. The muralist chose the work to illustrate a catalog for a 1949 exhibition celebrating his 50 years of painting, organized by the Mexican National Institute of Fine Arts.

"It is very typical of his work, especially of that period," said Carmen Melian, director of Sotheby's Latin American Art department. Rivera "painted through the years the children of the help at his home and the neighbor's, and in particular he painted Juanita several times," Melian said.

It's Rivera's most important painting to be auctioned in decades, according to Sotheby's, which has promoted it as one of his two biggest paintings outside of Mexico and says it is hitting the market at the right time. Just last year the Museum of Modern Art featured a solo exhibit of Rivera's work.

"What I love the most is that it was painted in his studio," Melian said of the painting. "I have been in his studio and the floor there has been dyed green, that's why it is green in the piece. And the white wall in the background, with its mix of blue and pink, is almost like a Monet or a Renoir; the front is more realistic, the figure of the kid pops out."

Rivera's current record is $3,082,500 for the 1928 oil on canvas "Baile en Tehuantepec," ("Dancing in Tehuantepec") sold in 1995 at Sotheby's in New York.

"Ni?a en azul y blanco" could even break the auction record for Latin American art, held since 2008 by Mexican Rufino Tamayo's "Troubadour," which fetched $7.2 million.

"You never know," Melian said. "You don't see a piece like this one very often."

The VoIP and the Need for QoS

The telephone is one of the most useful inventions man has ever made. It is something that made the world smaller and it is also something that modern society is continuing to use in businesses and also in homes. Since the telephone was invented, services have since improved and additional phone features are also available, such as three-way calling, or call waiting.

The telephone line is now also being used to connect to the internet. High speed internet connection through DSL is now available in most telephone companies. Today, the telecommunications industry is now taking it one step forward and developed a new kind of telephone system that is starting to gain popularity in today?s society. Imagine, with this kind of communication system, you will be able to talk to your loved ones abroad for a fraction of the cost that you will usually get in conventional landline phones. Also, features, such as call waiting, call forwarding, return call, video conferencing capabilities, caller ID and others are integrated with this particular communication system as a standard package, which means that it?s entirely free.

Free calls are also integrated with this new kind of phone system. If you are calling someone from halfway around the world, who is also subscribed to the service provider you are subscribed in, the calls will be free. It would be great if you have this kind of phone system. Today, it is now possible because of the advancement in the communications technology and this communication system is called VoIP or Voice over Internet Protocol or sometimes referred to as Internet Voice.

The reason why calls are so cheap with VoIP is that it is connected to the internet. As most people know, the internet provides a free and open communication system. Another great thing about VoIP is because the data is transmitted in a digital format in the internet, transmission and reception of voice data is faster and clearer than ever before.

The fact that VoIP has so many benefits, many people are now considering getting rid of their conventional landline phones and getting hooked up with VoIP. As you can see, VoIP is one of the latest solutions in communications technology that will allow people to make much cheaper long distance calls than conventional landline phones.

However, you have to consider that there will sometimes be hiccups in your internet connection. Because of this, it can significantly affect your VoIP phone. It will result in garbled communication or it can result in delays. This is why QoS or Quality of Service is now being integrated into VoIP to provide a solution for garbled communication.

The two main benefits of QoS for VoIP are:

? It protects VoIP on shared media
? It can prioritize VoIP

Bursty data applications will result in lower quality VoIP as well as losing 2 VoIP packets.

You also have to consider that VoIP is sensitive to delays and jitters because of the occasional internet hiccups. With QoS prioritization, it will able to minimize its effects.

QoS can maximize the quality of VoIP by controlling bursts of excess bandwidth and traffic. QoS can avoid congestion of bandwidth thus, making quality better when you use VoIP.

The quality of service should be integrated in VoIP, especially for business VoIP to avoid miscommunication or delay in communication. Today, VoIP is still considered to be in its infancy. So, with all the bugs fixed, you can expect that VoIP will be integrated with QoS.

You have to consider the fact that VoIP is still not really perfect. For this reason, you have to have QoS with your VoIP. This will definitely improve the quality of communication and also decrease the effects of delays and garbled voice signals.

VoIP has so many benefits to offer people. You just have to consider that VoIP is still a relatively new technology. So, you should expect some bugs or some hiccups when making calls. However, if you want VoIP in your business, you should consider getting QoS to improve the quality of communication.

With QoS, you can certainly make sure that your VoIP will generate higher quality calls. So, if you are frequently experiencing garbled communication when you are using VoIP, you should consider getting QoS. This particular tool can definitely improve data transmission and reception.

Doing the tooth implant 2-step

2-step tooth implantation and built-up bone can be longer lasting, Tel Aviv University researcher discovers

Periodontists routinely grow bone in the mouth to guarantee a stable environment for teeth and tooth implants. But whether it's better to build up bone before placing the implant, or to simply place the implant and allow bone to grow around it, has been a subject of considerable medical debate.

Now Prof. Zvi Artzi of Tel Aviv University's Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dentistry at the Sackler Faculty of Medicine has completed a study that concludes the two-step method is the more effective alternative building bone first, then implanting and allowing further bone growth. Currently, many dental professionals prefer a one-step process to save their patients from an additional surgical procedure.

Published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Prof. Artzi's study shows that a one-step implant will show more wear and tear over time than one implanted through the more cautious two-step procedure. While both are clinically effective methods, he concludes, implant placement procedures done with the one-step method show greater bone resorption around the implant neck a process by which the bone is broken down. Bonding of the bone around the implant was also shown to be inferior.

Testing proven procedures

The successful placement of a tooth implant is based on the biocompatibility of titanium, the main component of most dental and orthopedic implants. Both animal and human tissues readily accept the implant and grow around it. But in many cases, the amount of bone is also crucial to the success of the implant. Building bone to stabilize a titanium fixture is a long-standing procedure in dentistry.

Periodontists typically choose either the one-step or two-step procedure based on their preference alone. So Prof. Artzi and his fellow researchers set out to determine which procedure was scientifically superior in the long-term, well past the time when periodontists would typically monitor a patient's progress. In their study, they compared both methods of implantation in lab animals, and followed the progress of the implants over a course of two years.

The one-step procedure is based on the idea that a bone graft will simply attract the surrounding tissue to build up bone around the titanium implant a process called conduction. The benefit of this procedure is that patients are only subjected to one surgery. But the study shows a difference in long-term efficacy, Prof. Artzi says. Ultimately, the bone recedes less in the more cautious two-step procedure. The quality of the resulting bone itself is similar.

A judgement call

Though the study proves that the two-step method is more advantageous in most cases, each case is different, says Prof. Artzi. For example, dental professionals also take into account the already existing bone which determines how stable a future implant will be before deciding which route to take with each individual patient. Clinically, both methods remain sound, and periodontists should still rely on their own judgement as to what is best for the patient.

Attraction marketing is a method of learning to attract people to your business by projecting a clear message about yourself and your business. Before I learned how to do this, marketing online was difficult for me because I tried to "sell" all of my prospects before they got to truly learn about me and my business to the point they were prepared to do business with me. Attraction marketing is what you see touted as the Web 2.0 technology way of doing business by building social networking interactions with other people online.

The application of the attraction marketing to internet marketing should be obvious. The best system I've seen by far on the is the Magnetic Sponsoring system created by Mike Dillard. His methods are creating a whole new group of savvy internet marketers who are making trends in friend to friend business building techniques.

The relation of attraction marketing to social networking is that by building a list of people who are drawn to your message, you do this by the use of personal communities online. Sites such as Myspace, Facebook, online forums, and blog sites become tools to make social networking interactions that lead to people seeking more information and communication with you about your business.

In a sense, the contacts you make here create a personal community for your business. As with any community, communication must be a two way street to make it work. Feedback tools such as posts from blog readers, comments on social network pages and discussion among community members serve to make the community stronger. You should also send out information regularly to your members that they find useful to keep them coming back to visit.

Is this advertising? Yes but in a different sense. Your goal is to attract people and to do that you have to send a clear message about you and your business. One of your goals should be to entice people to get on your email lists where you can continue sending them info on things that interest them and solution-type products from time to time that your business offers. This is relationship building that will encourage solid friend to friend business building for you. It's having a whole community of volunteers spreading the message that you put out for your business.
