When you try the code samples (btw, they work with 99% of other hosting providers), they answer that they cannot help with the code further than providing these couple links. What a bunch of ….

I been with GoDaddy for long time and they been doing good job for certain projects, but this situation (which is very common), has been a total FAIL! Bob, kick some asses in the office, get your tech to do their job.

So to parse php in your html files on shared GoDaddy hosting, you have to use this code - example is as following:

Options +ExecCGI
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php .htm .html


Are you surprised? Yeah, the first line was something GoDaddy staff kept calm, they never ever mentioned this to me. Also after checking online, nobody really new the answer. Luckily till there was one quiet comment sharing the answer.

Also shame on Google, showing top results old, outdated and non working solutions. Hopefully this one will help some people in the future to get the html files to work with includes from php.

All in all - wasted about 5-7 replies to support guys with no success in about 1.5 week period. My site had lots of php extras that went down the drain in that time period.

Amen! Hopefully this is first and last tech blunder with them.

While I haven’t had time to fully research, it seems that it could be articles or blog comments that been lowered in value.

Either way everything indicates that one has to be using multiple link building methods to ensure stability and longevity.

This is first blog post after more than a year, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some more stuff going on here.

This project will be different – it is different! If everyone is offering free trial – then don’t do it! It will go against the trends! In the acai marketplace people are used to free trials and so on, but this will not be the case. The product will be very honest and truthful in the offering, no sneaky trials, rebills or etc scams.

Your customers will be able to buy whatever amount the want and when they want. That alone for you should mean a lot.

I don’t know about you – but it does matter to me as affiliate of what I’m recommending to others. I want to give them the best, I want them to believe in what I recommend, I want them to be happy about their purchases they made thanks to me.

There are way too many affiliates these days trying to trick people in buying any old crap or useless product just because of commissions. Please don’t. Think with your head.

By the way, Oprah seems to sue these acai promoters who uses their name and images to promote the products. Well done to Oprah! And hopefully you’re not one of them.

Anyways, if you’re looking for good Acai product – try PureAcaiBerry.com – 33% per sale is well above what many other products are offering! Combined with the slick site design and fantastic marketing tools, you and your customers will be the winners in the end!

Good luck!

The typical communication form is a newsletter or follow-up series (email chains). Newsletters allow communicating current events and offers while follow-up series can provide a well planed email chain series that main aim is to close the sale trough providing valuable information, earning trust and reminding of the brand.

There are many solutions that can provide such services – from free scripts one can install on its own server, hosted 3rd party solutions and in-house solutions.

Lately myself I’ve been into testing various keyword tools. Ok, not really testing but using them to do my market research and some predictions.

One of my favorite tools now is Google Keyword Suggestion Tool as they recently released also the search count accompanied with GEO and Language targeting. Myself being multinational marketer and English being my 3rd language this is now an incredible asset. It is easy now to tap into other language keyword markets with a fair amount of accuracy. Keep in mind, foreign markets often are 5 or more times LESS competitive.

After watching it I just as many others, I had made lots of notes that I will try to implement myself in my daily routine and see if I can get more out of my efforts.

Don’t work? How’s that possible?

Well, I don’t know how this happened to you, but can you honestly say that the website you spent $3000 or more is now bringing you huge amounts of traffic, leads and sales?

Probably not…

See, these websites don’t bring free traffic from search engines; they don’t convert visitors into subscribers and customers. They don’t engage with your visitors, they don’t follow up with them, don’t communicate and interact in a way that would build your online brand and increase sales.

Why does this happen?

See, many web design companies hire wrong people for the wrong job. Knowing just web design doesn’t guarantee that they will design you a site that makes profits.

Knowing how to program a proper HTML code based on the latest standards doesn’t guarantee you will get free traffic from search engines.

You need a team that can help you to achieve all your goals: traffic, leads and sales!

There are many out there that claim to be the ones, but unfortunately there are very few good ones. If I have to give an example say in London, it probably would be a company called Datadial.

Why them? The reason is that they offer complete list web development services. They not only will build you a website, but help with writing a copy that converts visitors into loyal readers and newsletter subscribers. Develop the content and design the site in a way that attracts free search engine traffic and much more than that.

What – your current web design company doesn’t know how to build a subscriber list or get free search engine traffic!?

Then run away! Run!

Because their lack of skills is holding your business back…

Simply put, if your current website needs a fresh web design while having in mind best copywriting and search engine optimization practices and other online marketing then you might want to get in touch with this company:

Alternatively, you can contact me for more pointers towards relevant companies that could do the web job as it should be done.

Good luck.

This is typical example when merchants and product companies are seeking for help in online market place and turns to affiliate networks like MN due their reach and wide range of internet players - affiliates from various online marketing scenes.

StomperNet has released Scrutinizer – an eye tracking simulator program.
ClickTale – an online mouse and click tracking tool that records visitor activities as videos.

StomperNet guys released just at holidays their Scrutinizer – a simulator you can use on your site to see how surfers see your page. This can really help you understand how visitors see elements on your page – be it menu, item or text. Definitely it is useful and interesting tool to have in your arsenal.

While I wont consider this tool as the best one, the other information the StomperNet guys gives is priceless. Used in conjunction with this tool you are in win position. Grab your copy here:

Now onto even ClickTale – ClickTale is amazing tool, that not only lets you track your visitor behavior but it actually records it and you can reply it as video. Exactly – you can record every mouse movement, every click and scroll of your visitor. You can even record their navigation between different pages. How cool is that?

Imagine what you can discover once you viewed 5-10 sessions that resulted with sale! That’s right – you will see exactly what and how they did it. This means – you can improve and borrow this information and make sure all other visitors are following these steps.

It’s hard to explain – but if you can see what they did and why, then you can easily manipulate that into actions you want them to do. E.g. if you find they are clicking on image thumbnail next to “order now” text link, but the image is not clickable – it’s a straight signal to make it clickable as well. Results? More clicks to your order pages!

There could be many many many more examples, but in order to not to run out of space, just visit their site and see for your self:

Site: http://www.clicktale.com/

Using these both tools together you can achieve amazing insights into your visitor behavior and tune the weak points into strengths, boost your leads, opt-ins and sales to a why new level.

Good luck and happy new year 2008!
