If you want to sell to a wide range of people then ensuring that people can read your web site is vital. To do this your web site needs to present information in a variety of languages.

Because internet developed in United States it started in English. And many people assume that English is a global language. The reality is quite opposite. English is a national language of only a small number of countries, including; US, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Eire. And of course number of internet users in these countries are huge. But did you know that there are now reputed to be more internet users in China than US?

Yeah and YOU guessed it, I don't write articles for DEMC either, it's some other chick with same name as mine. (guess I lucked out there!). She ain't as good looking as me, but someone said something about putting a picture up on your site, so I kind of borrowed hers (it's probably not really her, people always put "fake pictures" on their sites anyway).

End response.

I had to really laugh about this joker, because NOT only did he tell me my ezine was a sham, he also told me that my whole web site and "everything" on it was a sham. I really felt bad for him so, I thought this little reply might help cheer him up and get him over his "obvious" anger problems.

Oh and by way after a bit of searching around, I'd found out he also pulled this little stunt on four other publishers, after they had ran his ads. I've also learned a valuable old lesson from this -"People who accuse you of being guilty of something are usually one's whom are really guilty".
