Digg it UP - Wall Street to Main Street: News, Views and Commentary: May 11, 2006
Internet marketing plays an instrumental role in connecting potential customers with good rich content of the website that states company’s products and offerings. As a best promoting tool of products and services, it increases web site traffic, thus making more sales with minimum cost. It can be stated as a mix of interrelated activities focusing on the right audience directly or indirectly. It allows users to achieve the make more, work less goal.Internet Marketing can also be seen in various formats, important ones are B2B andB2C. In B2B model companies do transactions, collaborations or other interactions with each other whereas B2C involves selling directly to the end consumer. B2B can be defined as doing business electronically and it plays a crucial role in today’s digital economy. A yet another model but less frequently used is peer-peer where individuals transfer goods and services between themselves.When compared to other marketing strategies such as printing brochures, producing television or radio advertisements or managing a call centre, Internet marketing presents reduced costs and storage costs. An overnight 24/7 internet promotion provides greater visibility. On contrast to other business promoting tools, internet marketing provides an advantage of the content being enduring. Like a coin has two sides, it has some disadvantages too. The cost of online marketing that includes software, hardware, and website design may be higher when compared to other means. And most people like live interaction while buying products. Sometimes transaction across sites may not be secur
According to reports Russian President Vladimir Putin has pledged cash bonuses to Russian women who give birth to two or more children, this is an effort to reverse what he says is the gravest problem facing contemporary Russia: a declining population. While China some years back had to stop the growth of the population, Russia is looking to beef it up. I wonder if we’ll se a surge in Viagra sales in 2006.
The U.S. Treasury Department has once again rejected claims by US manufacturers yesterday and concluded that China is not manipulating the value of its currency to gain an unfair trade advantage. China is still looking to boost their Gold bullion reserves, which makes this very interesting.

You wake up in the morning, head to work, and find out your company is downsizing and you are being laid off. No big deal you think, you have experience, you've worked at the same company for years. You think companies will WANT to hire you. Guess what, your wrong. It’s a new day and age, while you may potentially find work. It’s a lot more difficult than you may think to get a job these days. Most reputable companies are looking for qualified people who also have an education.Through the companies eyes, they see an education as a sign of dedication to a career/field. Without an education, you are liable to get up and move to a different career in a heart beat as you don't have years of education backing you up. A company knows that when you have an education you are in for the long haul.People with an education are a commodity these days, if you don't have one, many companies won't even go beyond glancing at your resume. So what can you do, to prevent a situation like the one I've outlined above from happening? If you currently have a job, you can start working on attaining some form of education at one of the many accredited online schools.They require much less time as no actual class time is required, but are treated equal to a real world education, and cost significantly less. I highly recommend looking into it. For more information, check out http
Metals Mania is on fire, Gold is in the $700 range and continues to touch new highs on its way to $800, but as we have stated and continue to state on Wall Street to Main Street, do not forget about the other metals like Silver which is on its way to $20, Copper making new highs, Platinum, Palladium, Aluminum, Titanium which Airbus is stocking up on for production of their new aircrafts to satisfy the China contract that they have in place and other contracts that may come out of China and India, Aluminum and Zinc. I would put the periodic table of elements here but that would take all day.
Now Oil is not lacking in the upward movement as the tension in Iran is placing Crude Oil on a roller coast ride as it bumps up to over $72 a barrel on its way to $80.
Now on the topic of oil and natural gas, word is floating around that China is in a race to secure oil and natural gas for their country and may be looking at Florida for drilling opportunities. The area in question is the Gulf of Mexico south of Pensacola, Florida. This is also an area that Cuba is interested in, Cuba is limited with technology but have some cash in the till, they have aligned with companies in China, Spain and Canada. The world is just getting smaller and the U.S. should not underestimate any nation.

Investing is one of the most important endeavors we undertake. If you are new to investing then this is the place to begin. Investing is a learned process that requires one to apply their knowledge in a disciplined way. It is very easy to lose money and very hard to make money. Before you make your first investment you should get your finances in order. Once you have a handle on your expenses you can begin to invest. I include these steps since many people tend to overlook the importance of managing your money and living within your means. They are the foundation to a good investment program.Step 1: Create a Budget.A budget is a tool that can both reveal problem spending areas and help fine-tune your cash flow. The mere process of gathering information to begin or maintain a budget can help you control your spending and free up cash to save, invest, or pay off debt. All budgets are not created equal, however; some are overly complicated, and others require constant monitoring. A budget that is simple enough to appeal to non-accountants and yet able to provide the benefits listed above is usually best. Once you track your expenses against your budget you will get a better feel on the amount of detail necessary to help you manage your expenditures.Step 2: Track your monthly expenditures.Knowing how much and where you spend your hard earned money helps you track you spending habits. Observe and learn from your spending compared to you budget. Adjust your spending accordingly, paying off your debt and saving for special needs, like college, retirement, etc.

Make sure you target women. It’s true for almost anything you are selling. According to Women Mean Business: The Secret to Selling to Women, eighty percent of all checks written in the US are written by women and they purchase 80-% of all consumer goods in the U.S. That’s not a market segment you can afford to ignore. Even for items traditionally thought of as male dominated, such as consumer electronics, women have significant influence.The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) found women actually spent more on technology in 2003 than men, accounting for $55B of the $96B spent on electronics gear. Auto industry research shows that 65% of new vehicle purchases are substantially influenced or directly made by women. A 2005 study by Lucid Marketing found that your business will suffer if your business web site doesn’t measure up with women consumers.How can this help you? Make sure you actively pursue women as customers, even if you don’t sell goods or services that you think appeal to women. Make sure your site or facility appeals to women as well as men. Women tend to feel uncomfortable around unhelpful or pushy salespeople. This occurs often in segments such as automotive or consumer electronics, where sales people tend to try to dominate or “sell down” to women. This could give you an advantage if you sell on the web, where this would not be a concern.According to the Lucid study, women value the following attributes in an e-commerce website.• Easy navigation • Maximum product selection • Product reviews / recommendations • In-depth product informat
