Pay-Per-Click Advertising with Microsoft AdCenter

By Merle

Microsoft, not to be left out of the pay-per-click race, followed on the heels of Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing with their own program called "Microsoft adCenter". While you may experience higher conversion rates than with Google or Yahoo, you'll also find less traffic. According to ComScore in Feb 2008, MSN sites had only 7.1% share of total Internet searches, compared to Google's 53.5% and Yahoo's 16.4%. On the plus side, it can be less expensive.

Sell 'em in the Waiting Room

BIG Mike McDaniel

Recently I had to spend some time in a hospital waiting room. There were three tables with magazines and most were old and wrinkled. But two stood out for freshness and currency.

My second impression was "wow, what a marketer!"

Marty Bradfield

Most commercial webmasters enter the online sales process at a great disadvantage. The disadvantage is that they have never worked in sales, nor have they studied the fine art of copy writing. Many webmasters spend a considerable amount of time second-guessing about when and where to ask for the sale.
