Subject:Payment Systems- PayPal
Hello
Yes, I saw the paypal warning website. I sure did get concern because I just
open an account with them in the last three weeks. Last week I was going to join
a company that the only payment method being used was paypal. I told the
company representative to please check out this warning website. Can this
be
true? The gentlemen e-mail a few days later. He told me the headquarters of the
company was indeed having problems with paypal and the company was
in the
process of changing to a new company to replace paypal. I told the company I was
planning to do business with that when they change from paypal to the new
payment company give me a call.
I am sure at one time this paypal was wonderful and had many advantages for
small business. However maybe is has grown very fast or has poorly train staff
it is hard to know.
For whatever reason enough people appear to be are upset. Business people work
very hard to earn their money. Then they come to discover they can not do the
financial transaction they want. You can give Laurie my e-mail address and I
will tell her the name of the company. However, please do not put it in the
newsletter. I think people will soon or later discover this situation.

Hello and Happy New Year to all!
I will try and make this short :)
According to some sources, the inclusion of one line of code
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
in the <head> section of a web page is enough to make sure
that your site is viewable in all browsers. However, I was just
informed by a friend that more than one line of code is
needed. Has anyone else heard this, and if so, where
would I be able to find this information? Any help that comes
my way would be very much appreciated!

Hi Barb,
I learned something. I wasn't aware that tripod was not
Netscape friendly. Nothing I know of to do about it.
I had a look .... with IE 5.1
Chin up now, this may hurt. But keeping in mind this is
only one opinion.
Remember, people are looking for WIIFM.
(whats in it for me?)
If you really must use tripod try to shorten the URL.
Better yet, register your own domain name. Several registrars
are $10 a year and less. You may then use a free
http://www.domainredirect.com
service. The long URL
won't show up... but you're still stuck with their banner.
Lose the Welcome.jpg. If it adds to page load time and
doesn't show a benefit for the visitor, cut it. Maybe add
'Welcome to' at the top by your store name.
Use bullets for benefits in your main page; for instance,
-------
Barb's Needlecraft Books offers great buys on new and used:
* crochet patterns,
* cross stitch patterns,
* knitting leaflets,
* plastic canvas patterns,
* quilting and sewing books
* and more.
In addition we offer:
* seasonal ideas (just
threw that in)
* ease of ordering
* great selection
* personal service (gift
wrapping?) you get the idea
FREE crochet patterns have been added for your use also. Take
some time out from your busy day and browse awhile.
You'll be happy you did.
-------
If you have what they're looking for ... they'll browse.
Is it really necessary to repeat the word, "Patterns" 18
times? Trim your menu by using headings.
I would stretch the layout of the pattern pages with a little
space between them. The .jpg images should be optimized.
I loaded one (80k) and made it a .gif at 28k with 256 colors.
No appreciable loss of quality.
If you are allowed the space, a larger image of the finished
afghan, quilt, etc, hyperlinked to a larger image so they open in
a blank browser page. Or just the words: "To see this item click
here".
It's unlikely everyone will want to see every item. Then your
page loads quicker.
In short: improve the menu, benefits, and make your Order info
easy to find and stand out in the menu. Optimize all pics or
hyperlink text to larger images.
The color scheme is fine. All the pages follow the same theme.
That's good.
If I can drag the missus to the computer, (kicking and screaming)
I'll show her your site. She likes that sort 'o stuff. Not
computers.
Hates 'em.
At least you can add your individual content. I'm pretty
much stuck with what I have on this one.

=====================Site Review Response (2)===============
From:Andy Sparks
Subject: http://multivitamins.anthill.com
Hi Bogdan
Hope the new year finds you and your family in good health.
Everybody in the digest probably thinks I am some old grouchy guy waiting to
pounce upon people that ask for site reviews. Here I go again.
Bernard re http://multivitamins.anthill.com
site review.
There is basically nothing wrong with your site. It loads quickly, it
looks
nice and it navigates just fine.
The problem is with or rather your lack of a sales letter. You know, all
the
text between hello and would you like to buy something, please?
You tell me a lot of things and you make a number of statements.
Telling is
NOT selling. If you want to sell, you must ask questions or make
statements
that cause the reader to personally identify with the situation.
Your headline is, today's health improvement tool, that doesn't do a thing for
me. I believe you would be much better with some thing like, Would you
like to
improve your health? or Need a user-friendly health improvement tool? or
if you
need a statement do something like a tabloid headline, Amazing Health
Improvement Tool Saves Lives!
You have to grab their attention immediately. If I wasn't doing a site
review I
would have never read the whole page.
Here is an example of how not to sell, this is a cut and paste from your site.
We know that well balanced nutrition is of great importance to you.
No you don't, you don't know me from Adam and who is we?
You need to ask me if or remind me that well balanced nutrition is important,
then assume that it is important to me and continue to ask questions or identify
problems then show how your product solves these problems.
Here is another example;
Did you know that a bowl of spinach contain 150mg of iron in 1948,and today the
same size bowl only contains 2mg.
That is excellent but you need to follow with a closing question like, Do you
want to eat 75 bowls of spinach per day? The word contain in the first part of
the sentence should be past tense (contained). I would rewrite that
question to
be:
Did you know that in 1948 a single serving of spinach contained 150mg of iron
and now it only contains 2mg.
Bernard, go read sales letters from other sites. Read a lot of them and
copy
their style. Here is a good sales letter, http://www.sitesell.com/967andy.html
Because you are dealing with health issues, don't make medical claims you can't
prove. I am not much of a gambler but, I'll bet your sales will improve if you
rewrite your text to be a sales letter and ask a lot more questions.
Don't feel bad, it ain't as easy as it looks.
Andy Sparks

Submitting To Search Engines, The Right Way
By Boris Chow
With all of the search engines and directories tightening
their quality control on web site listings, it's getting
harder and harder to SUBMIT A SITE SUCCESSFULLY. Along with
these new restrictions that search engines are implementing
comes much confusion about the DO's and DON'Ts of SUBMITTING
web pages. And although I've been following the search engines
for quite some time now, I must admit, some of your questions
I've been receiving are making me second guess my knowledge.
That's when I decided I would step forth to clear up some
common myths, and give you the facts about SUBMITTING your
WEB PAGES PROPERLY and SUCCESSFULLY...
Myth #1: The More Search Engines That a Web Page is Submitted
to The Better.
I'm sure you've all seen ads, or have received emails from
companies that boast they can submit your site to hundreds and
thousands of search engines for a phenomenal price. All I can
say is, BUYER BEWARE. Don't get me wrong, they're not all bad,
but you have to know what to look for.
There are countless numbers of search engines popping up all
over the place and ONLY about 8 SEARCH ENGINES and directories
that can actually deliver a SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT of TRAFFIC to
your site. Here's the list of major search engines and
directories, in order of importance:
1) Yahoo
2) Inktomi (database feeds over 300 engines including AOL,
MSN, NBCi, iWon, LookSmart, About, HotBot, Overture non-paid
listings, CNET, ICQ and more...)
3) Google
4) Excite / LookSmart
5) AltaVista
6) ODP (Open Directory Project)
7) Fast (database feeds results to Lycos)
8) Northern Light (a distant last and least important of the
eight)
These 8 major search engines are used by roughly 95% OF ALL
PEOPLE searching on the web. In other words, if you aren't
submitting to these top 8, it doesn't matter how many search
engines you submit your pages to, the traffic to your site
will be nominal. Even if you submit to no other engines and do
a good job with just these major search engines and
directories, YOUR SITE WILL BE SUCCESSFUL - assuming of
course that you have a topic or product that people are
interested in, and are searching for on a regular basis.
So when it comes time for you to submit your pages to the
search engines, just remember, more does not necessarily mean
better. Not to say that it's not a good idea to submit your
web pages to as many places as you can find, but just make
sure that you COVER THE MAJOR ONES FIRST.
Myth #2: Submit To The Most Popular Search Engine First and
Work Your Way Down The List.
Some of you may already know about the 8 major search engines,
but did you know that there is actually a LOGICAL ORDER in
which you should be SUBMITTING TO? If you're unsure, don't
worry, you're not alone. Many people don't have a clue where
to start. But, rest easy, I've got a FOOL PROOF PROCESS.
To ACHEIVE the BEST POSSIBLE REACH when submitting to
the 8 major search engines and directories, I suggest the
following SUBMISSION ORDER. Why the specific order? This is
because many search engine databases these days are
overlapped.
For example, MSN search receives results from both Inktomi and
LookSmart but displays results from each in a specific order,
according to criteria.
This is called the "blurring effect", where criteria is
based
on the RELEVANCY OF YOUR PAGE. Basically, this means
that if one engine finds you in both databases, it considers
your page to be more significant. From there, the criteria
weights one engine more than the other. The higher up you
are in that engine the MORE RELEVANT YOU BECOME in the
other.
Anyway, let's get to the good part. Here is the submission
order that is recommended:
1. Inktomi - use the paid entry program.
Inktomi is the first engine you should submit to because it
feeds some major portals such as AOL, MSN, NBCi, iWon,
LookSmart, About, HotBot, Overture, CNET, ICQ.
It also supplies results to over 300 other smaller portals run
by ISP's. Inktomi's paid inclusion service - accessed through
http://www.positiontech.com
is the quickest way to get the
most visibility possible within (supposedly) 48 Hours.
2. Excite / LookSmart - use the paid inclusion program.
Submitting your site through the paid inclusion program, will
save you time because this one step submits your page to both
Excite and LookSmart, which also supplies results to
AltaVista, MSN, and iWon.
Their review/inclusion time frame is 48 hours which means that
they will review your site within 48 hours and, assuming it
passes review, they'll include it in their directory. You can
find info on the paid inclusion program here:
http://listings.looksmart.com/?synd=none&chan=lshomebus
3. AltaVista
Once you have received confirmation back from the two paid
submissions mentioned above, we advise you to proceed with
AltaVista but don't use the Express Inclusion. Instead, use
the free addurl service instead at:
http://addurl.altavista.com/sites/addurl/newurl.
Note that AltaVista takes longer, 4 to 6 weeks, to include
your site in their index.
4. Yahoo!
Be sure to use the Business Express submit gateway at Yahoo
(https://ecom.yahoo.com/fast/add)
because this is the fastest
way to get listed. Always keep in mind that Yahoo can be a
finicky directory to get listed in but it's worth the money. A
good listing in Yahoo can provide your site with a significant
amount of traffic.
5. ODP - The Open Directory Project
ODP is a directory of volunteer editors. Over the years we've
learned that it's easier to get into ODP after you've been
accepted to Yahoo. The logic is sound when you think about it.
After all, if Yahoo liked your site, why wouldn't the editors
at ODP like it? You can submit your site for free at
http://dmoz.org/add.html.
6. Fast - All the Web (powers Lycos)
You can submit your page at:
http://www.alltheweb.com/add_url.php
7. Google
Due to the fact that Google assigns more relevancy to pages
with link and click popularity, it's important to already have
your other submissions in place, before submitting to Google.
Therefore, even though this is a very important and popular
search engine, it will pay to exercise patience and focus your
attention on the other engines and directories in the order
listed above before you spend your energy submitting to
Google. You can find Google's free submission page at:
http://www.google.com/addurl.html
8. Northern Light
Northern Light is, by far the least significant of the
"majors" - a distant last from the big dogs listed above.
Regardless, it isn't a difficult engine to get listed in and
that being the case, it could be worthwhile since it does send
some traffic - unlike most of the remaining search engines and
directories that send virtually no traffic whatsoever. Submit
to Nothern Light for free at:
http://www.northernlight.com/docs/regurl_help.html
Myth #3: Automated Submission Software and Services are Real
Time Savers.
Not necessarily true. Some CAN ACTUALLY PENALIZE YOU
or get you banned. Problems which could potentially cost you
more time to fix, than manually submitting in the first place.
In truth, before writing this, I wasn't really even sure of
what repercussions came with using automated submission tools.
So, I called up search engine expert, Stephen Mahaney to clear
up this issue. Stephen, as you all probably know, is the
President of Planet Ocean Communications Inc. (publisher of
the best selling e-book "The Unfair Advantage Book To Winning
The Search Engine Wars"), and the senior editor of
"Search
Engine News" (a monthly newsletter that provides late breaking
search engine changes and news).
I've been using his tips and techniques for the past few
years, and have had NOTHING BUT SUCCESS in the search
engines. Even search engine greats like Michael Campbell
learned from Stephen. So he definitely knows his stuff.
Here's what he told me over the phone:
Boris:
Will Using An Automated Submission Tool Affect A Web
Site's Ranking In The Search Engines?
Stephen:
Well, the official position of the major search engines is,
they don't like automation tools of any sort and if they
could, they would get rid of them completely.
Boris:
So submitting your site via an automated submission tool
will put your site at risk of being penalized in the search
engines?
Stephen:
Yes, unless that submission tool can emulate an individual
going to the site and submitting their page manually.
To sum up, if you want to AVOID GETTING PENALIZED by the
search engines, it is better to submit your web site manually,
than to use an automated submission service or software. Does
this mean you will have to MANUALLY SUBMIT to hundreds of
search engines manually. Well, not really. Stephen gave me
some insight into this as well.
As mentioned earlier, the 8 major search engines that I've
already listed for you account for about 95% of all users on
the web. Because these are the ones that matter the most, you
only really have to manually submit your site to these 8
search engines.
What you can do after, is use an automation tool to submit to
the hundreds of smaller engines. Stephen also added that being
in so many small search engines, can actually GIVE YOU A
BOOST in the major ones. However, even if you are penalized
in several of the smaller engines, it won't hurt you nearly
as much as being penalized in just one major search engine.
This is due to the fact that even collectively, the smaller
search engines receive very nominal traffic.
Myth #4: Submitting an URL More Than Once a Day Per Search
Engine Will Get You in Trouble.
This is the myth that seems to be the most widely circulated.
How many times can an URL be submitted to an individual search
engine each day? If you want to be 100% safe, submitting one
page per search engine, per day, is always the best way.
However, this can be tedious and it could take a very long
time. There is a solution though.
Each search engine has it's own different algorithm, and just
so long as you adhere to the that, you're safe. If you pay
close attention to their submitting algorithms, it is not
always necessary to submit just one page a day. Be careful
though, search engines change their submission algorithms
whenever they feel like it.
To give you an example, here is THIS MONTH's SUBMISSION
ALGORITHM for the 8 major search engines:
1) Yahoo - Human reviewed directory, you can only submit your
home page
2) Inktomi - No limit through paid submissions. However, the
free submit option has a penalty.

other pages in your site.
4) Excite - No limit.
5) Altavista - 1000 per day, but Planet Ocean recommends going
slowly.

home page.
7) Fast / Lycos - 50 pages per day.

Okay, so now you know it all. Well almost. The thing about
these search engines is that they can CHANGE THE WAY
THEY WORK at anytime. So what works this month, may not
work next month. Take for example today's tips, they will
most likely be valid for the next couple of weeks. However,
next month everything could change.
So, how do I keep up with the search engines then? Well, I
could just call up Stephen every time I need an update. It's
costly though, Stephen consults at a very high price. Instead
what I do is subscribe to his monthly Search Engine News. This
way, for HALF THE COST of my morning newspaper each day, I
receive all of the LATEST SEARCH ENGINE NEWS and tips,
without having to spend hours every month researching. In
fact, most of the valuable information for this article is
provided by Search Engine News.
This MONTHLY UPDATED news site gives you all the information
needed to keep track of submitting algorithms, submission
areas, penalties, criteria changes, up-to-date secret
strategies and more. Best of all, the cost is cheap - only 40
cents per day! I highly recommend that you sign-up for a
subscription, if you are serious about driving HIGH QUALITY
SEARCH ENGINE TRAFFIC to your site.

=====================Joke of the Day (1)===============
Horse walks into a bar, orders a beer, sits down at one of the
tables, and starts reading his paper.
The bartender is a bit shocked by all this, but pours the beer,
and brings it over to the horse, who proffers a ten dollar bill
for it. Now the barman figures the horse isn't that bright, so
he decides to pull the old 'short-change' trick on him. He
duly goes back to the horse with 1 dollar. The horse doesn't
say a word.
The horse eventually finishes his beer and goes up to the
bar to order another. Says the bartender to him, "Y'know,
we don't get many horses in here."
To which the horse replies, "At nine dollars a beer, I'm not
surprised!"
