Written by Greg Spence


Continued from page 1

Problem #3 - Thieves Don't Need to Know The Name Of Your Download Page

You may feel that because you have placed your product downloads in a seperate directory you are safe.

Unfortunately this is not necessarilyrepparttar case. It is possible to listrepparttar 106276 contents of a web site directory directly from any web browser. A thief could then see your product download files and just...well...download them.

Problem #4 - Your Recommend A Friend Feature May Be Losing You Traffic

A growing trend on web sites isrepparttar 106277 use of a recommend a friend script to encourage visitors to recommend your web site to typically five of their friends, who in turn recommend to five of theirs, and so on.

A common accepted practice is to give away valuable free gifts to encourage people to come up with five email addresses and increase your web site traffic and hopefully product sales.

Whilst this system in theory can generate some traffic,repparttar 106278 system can also be abused by allowingrepparttar 106279 would-be thief to get your free gift without providing you with any email addresses.

You, therefore, not only lose potentially valuable traffic, but also your free gift gets downloaded for nothing in return.

Problem #5 - Your Affiliate Commissions Can Be Hijacked

Withrepparttar 106280 incredible success of affiliate programs as a source of income, so too comesrepparttar 106281 possibility of abuse and theft of your affiliate commissions.

It has been well documented that ClickBank affiliates are particularly at risk. A person visits your web site, sees a product they are interested in buying and replaces your ClickBank nickname with their own. They then getrepparttar 106282 commission when they purchaserepparttar 106283 product.

In fact it is not just ClickBank users who are losing commissions this way. Any affiliate link can be modified quickly and easily effectively losing you valuable commissions.

The Top Ten Ways to Change a Mediocre Employee Into a High Performing One

Written by Monty J. Sharp


Continued from page 1

6. Be a “responder” – not a “reactor”. Byrepparttar time you react to employee issues, it’s already too late. Really listen to your employees and allow time in your day and in your mind to seerepparttar 106275 “big picture.”

7. Listen with awareness. Your employees are constantly telling you, both verbally and non-verbally, what they need or want regarding ways to improve their performance. Are you listening?

8. Be a model. People will respond according torepparttar 106276 actions – notrepparttar 106277 words of their leaders. Performance advisor and author, Darcy Hitchcock, puts it this way: “employees are professional ‘boss watchers’. That is, what managers say means nothing unless their actions model what they say.” Leading isrepparttar 106278 act of influencing others to act, which is difficult if you have one set of standards for yourself and another for everybody else.

9. Innovate! Create and foster an environment of creativity in your workplace. Aggressively solicit, encourage and implement new ideas and ways of doing things. Ifrepparttar 106279 “status quo” is no longer working, don’t be afraid to be radical in your approaches.

10. Be a Coach. Hire a Coach. Many managers will say that they coach their employees, but, when pressed, few know exactly what that means much less how to do it effectively. Effective coaching involves an exquisite set of skills that need to be mastered in order to get sustainable results. Also,repparttar 106280 best coaches have their own coach to help keep them atrepparttar 106281 “top of their game.” ==================== Monty J.
