Any small business owner or corporate looking to succeed markets their business in one way or another, and you do not have to know how to program, use Photoshop to design materials, or spend hours learning about search optimization and Google Web Standards (not that you can’t or that it wont help your business in...

Using a CMS vs. Not – DO IT!

This post is a response to: (http://develophorizons.com/2011_blog.php). There are very few things you need to worry up-front about building a site, except if your style fits the designers’, the platform, and if they build your site up to web standards. Many programmers will use a scare tactic to avoid building a site with a CMS because they do not believe in CMS platforms or don’t know how to use them properly.

Getting Paid for Advertising Text or Lin...

When someone offers to pay you for advertising on your site, it’s most likely a competitor or similar non-competing services. Keep that in mind when negotiating how much they will pay for the ad space monthly. How much should an advertiser pay you? I always consider the other person’s services first. How much would that person make off of just one referral from my site? How many views is that page currently averaging?
