Online auctions are big business - ever since eBay become the 800 pound gorilla in town. So how does any new wannabe up-and-coming auction marketplace website outdo eBay? Be different. Sometimes, it makes sense. Other times, it doesn’t. Outbid4less starts out different, all right. Start with popular items at prices that are 10 – 20% of retail. And cap the prices there. You heard it – you CAN’T bid higher. So how do you win? From the name, you’d expect the lowest bidder to win. After all, if you’re outbidding for less, you should be offering less. Instead, it’s the highest unique price. If two people bid the same, the bids are thrown out. Adding to the feel-good factor, a promise to donate 30% of the proceeds to any charity of your choice. So while you go after the latest gizmo, you don’t have to feel guilty of depriving some unfortunate. The only fly in the ointment is the bid fee, at $5-$10 for the privilege of bidding. Not a deposit, but a fee. Given that an auction would have many bidders but only one winner, the others are effectively subsidizing the winner. So unless you expect to win all the time, you’ll lose more money than if you paid retail. Are you prepared to pay for my IPOD? If yes, please send it to me directly – why go through an auction which I might not win?

When you first launch a website, you naturally want all the content crammed into it that you can lay hands on. But if it’s real traffic you’re looking for, consider taking a more patient approach.

Anyone involved in SEO can tell you that organic growth of relevant content is the most successful long term strategy for search engine placement. When people read that, however, their brains toss the part they don’t understand or want to deal with: “organic.” What they see is “successful long term strategy” and “search engine placement.” And that’s where the trouble starts, because it’s the organic growth that does the work.

What do people mean when they talk about organic growth?

Organic growth means slow, steady, continual growth - the way plants and animals grow. When Google ranks your site they look for this pattern of growth to help determine whether your site is “for real.” Think of an informational site you visit a lot, a forum perhaps, or a site like Wikipedia. Those sites did not spring into being overnight, chock full of content and with a hundred links pointing to them. They started as miniatures of themselves, and as people posted messages and articles they got bigger and bigger.

How can this be harnessed to help promote a website?

Timing of updates can be more important than size of updates. A lot of webmasters have a hard time updating their site regularly. They have day jobs, families, and other websites to run. This can lead to a tendency to update sites in large infrequent chunks.

To get the maximum benefit from your updates, do this instead: When you get time to update your site, prepare and arrange your new content so that it can be uploaded in small pieces. Get everything ready to go so that the only task remaining is the actual publish. Then upload each small piece separately, allowing a day or two to pass between each upload.

By doing this your website ends up with the same content, but search engines monitoring how frequently you update will see a pattern of steady growth. You can still write or gather all your content in one fell swoop, just dole it out to your webserver slowly instead of as a single publish. You won’t see immediate results, but give this a month or two and search engines will take notice, to your benefit.

Are you out of a job? Are you bored, underpaid or generally dissatisfied with your present job? Only you can make the difference and change what ever it is that you are doing now.

First of all, if you are out of a job, then you have more than ample time to look for a job. There is strength in numbers. The more resumes you send out, the more applications you fill out and submit, the more contacts you make by phone or in person, is the only way you will ultimately seek your goal.

Resumes are absolutely essential in looking for a job. There are multiple sites on the internet that offer free templates for resumes. Look through these and find the most attractive layout for your specific work history. Keep in mind not to be too wordy when writing your resume. Employers sometimes look through hundreds of resumes. You want yours to stand out. Bullet point your qualifications and objectives.

If you already have a job, you need to set time aside each day to send your resume out and scan the want ads. Be specific when you give your present job information regarding contact information with your present employer. You don’t want to lose your present income because you are looking for a change.

If you are filling out an application furnished by your prospective employer, make sure that you complete it in its’ entirety. Incompletion indicates laziness and no one wants a lazy employee. Additionally, make sure what you write is neat and legible. Don’t scratch out if you make an error. Take it slow and you should not have any errors.

Above all, remain honest. Don’t state that you type 80 words a minute if you only
