Hope that you 2008 is a very good one, too.

I love your top ten. hahahha, brilliant. Going to definitely use some of them when talking to people.

Thanks, came onto your site for the first time today and I really enjoy your style.

Wishing you an exSEOllent 2008 from South Africa.

A good addition. They certainly do provide many more people with the opportunity to make money, don’t they. They can provide businesses with a world wide audience, and can make the location of a business less of a limitation.

A local store in my area that sold Scottish clothing and accessories became so busy after building a web site through the traffic from that site, that they no longer needed a store. They replaced it with a warehouse with a much cheaper rent.

I want to add one more think to your list . Web sites are perfect income methods .

Excellent point. The hands-on act of doing can make it a lot easier to learn.

So if someone said use TH for a table header (assuming i havent come across that before), then i would do that change on the site to see how it looks.

I found it to be a very good way to learn, as by making mistakes and practical exposure it is far easier to understand a concept than just reading a book or listening to a lecture.

One of the music stores down the street has a wonderful inventory of CDs from small music labels, and they put a tent sign out in front of the store daily, listing which new titles have been received.

They also sometimes write reviews of many of those, which they post on a bulletin board in the store.

I don’t walk past their store everyday, but if they had a web site, and an RSS feed that told me about new releases, and provided reviews, I’d probably be spending a lot more on new music from them. They don’t need to sell online, but if they tell me what’s new, they may draw me to the store more frequently. Here’s a good example – Atomic Records (they use email instead of RSS, but it’s still a great way of extending their voice to others.)

Let’s say you put a sale insert in your local newspaper every seven days. Potential customers who recycle that newspaper on day two may be interested in going shopping on day four or five. Why not give them the opportunity to find your ad online?

Reproduced print ads are not enough to make a web site sing, but once you’ve got images, prices and the expectation of a regular sale, letting customers know they can always check your prices online is a good first step to giving them a reason to come back again and again.
