Internet Marketing for Small Businesses - A Guide in Plain EnglishWritten by Gordon Goodfellow
Have you ever been intimidated at convoluted, jargon-ridden information about Internet marketing available on Net? What exactly is search engine optimization anyway, and can I do it myself?Often it results in many companies becoming confused and therefore reluctant to put into practice what would be a valuable and simple business resource when understood and applied correctly. Market Researcher and Internet marketing consultant, Gordon Goodfellow, who is also an English literature graduate, decided it was time for a change. Part of this desire to make web marketing more accessible was due to his past experience as a teacher. "I was sick of all gobbledygook that surrounds web site promotion and web marketing, even today," he explains. "Website marketing isn't rocket science and should not be presented as such. Everyone should have access to affordable website promotion." Having spent four years researching and assessing best way of getting an effective message across on Internet, he began to design a basic introduction to Internet marketing. The result of this hard work is Applied Web Marketing. AWM is a comprehensive beginner’s guide to marketing on Internet, covering everything from domain names, through search engine optimisation, search engine ranking and search engine promotion, to e-commerce and merchant accounts (and their alternatives), all refreshingly written in plain English.

The internet is a wonderful place to access information, read updated news, and connect with people from all over globe.

Spammers can make money if only one person of thousands of people they send sexually explicit emails to clicks on their ad and pays for their service. Do everything you can to keep those emails from ever reaching your inbox. If you have allowed your children to have their own email accounts, filtering spam is best way to ensure inappropriate images never become accessible to them through email. A quick list of things you can do to eliminate spam includes: Only give your email address out to people you know and trust. Do not put your personal email address down for every mailing list or website that asks for it. Many free email services exist now - set up a free account with one of them and use that to sign up for mailing lists. Never click on any links in spam and if at all possible, avoid ever opening email. Both of these actions confirms to spammers that you actively use your email account and you will likely start to receive more spam. Purchase and use a spam filter. Many come packaged with a porn filter as well as other features that will help keep inappropriate content off of your computer screen. Be careful what you download. This should be a universal precaution you take by now each and every time you download something off internet. Viruses, spyware, and pornography can very easily be hidden in files that you download - prevention in this case is much easier than fixing problem after files have already made their way onto your hard drive. Only download files from sources that you trust, and if you ever have a question as to whether something contains a virus or pornography, do NOT download it.
