The New Share Results Website

July 16, 2009 No comments

Some of you may have noticed that the the Share Results website was recently relaunched. The blog is next on the list of things to be redesigned, but for now, I wanted to take a minute to explore what we’ve done with the site.

The new Share Results site features a number of things to better cater to the needs of merchants and affiliate alike. For starters, there are new user-friendly sub-sections for affiliates or merchants looking to join our affiliate network. There’s also extensive information for merchants and OPMs seeking affiliate software.

To put all these changes into focus, moreover, our CEO, Nicky Senyard, had the following to say: “our new website redesign is just the first step in an ongoing effort to continually pursue our relationship-driven approach and client-focused affiliate management software.”

But we want to know what you think! So please, take a look, and leave us a comment or drop us a line. Your feedback is important to us — good or bad.

Free Survey For Your Website Courtesy of Avinash Kaushik

February 11, 2009 No comments

What is working? What is not working? Well, guessing is not exactly what you should be doing. Let your website visitors tell you what they think and want.

Avinash Kaushik and iPerceptions created 4Q, a free survey that enables you to ask the most important questions to your visitors:

-How satisfied are my visitors?
-What are my visitors at my website to do?
-Are they completing what they set out to do?
-If not, why not?
-If yes, what did they like best about the online experience?

Not only this tool is free (how you like that for a bailout?), but you will get real-time and complete access to the results.

Now you do not have any more excuses for not digging into what should you have a long time ago. Go to 4Q and begin using your visitors feedback to convert them into customers by giving them what they want and not what you think they want.

Are You Voting For The Right Person?

October 31, 2008 No comments

Still unsure of who to vote for? These two tools may help you decide.

Glassbooth.org has created a great tool to help you see if your beliefs are those of the candidate you are voting for. After rating issues that are important to you, it will generate a short quiz for you to take. The results show you which candidate you are more aligned with and it gives you explanations to the politicians stands.

Anther helpful tool has been created by The Political Compass. This is a little more demanding of time, but still worth looking at and seeing with who you align thoughts with.

Both of these will 100% make you think about your vote on November 4th. No matter who you vote for, just make sure you vote!

Economic Climate Strikes Online Retailers

October 29, 2008 No comments

Due to increased consumer pessimism toward the economy in the wake of the recent economic meltdown, online retailers are beginning to feel the effects with a steady decline in visits. Overall traffic to retail sites has shown decline for the past eight weeks in a row with no signs of change.

The biggest hit came to online music retailers, dropping 21 percent in traffic this week. The second biggest decline in traffic was in computer retail sites, followed by ticketing sites and toys. This foreshadows a dismal holiday season for all retailers, both online and offline. Offline sales declines can be predicted based on this online traffic decrease because online research strongly influences offline purchases.

Web Surfing Stimulates Your Brain

October 20, 2008 No comments

A recent University of California at Los Angeles study shows the effects of web surfing on brain activity. In an attempt to refute claims that Internet leads to shorter attention spans and makes people dumber, researchers tested twenty-four volunteers between the ages of 55 and 76 with MRI scans while the participants were given various Web searching tasks and book reading tasks.

The participants were broken into two groups – experienced Web surfers and those with no Web searching experience.

While both groups showed similar levels of brain activity during the book reading tasks, the experienced web surfers showed a significant amount more brain activity while performing Internet searches, much more than while reading a book.

What this means…Internet surfing doesn’t make people stupid. Rather, it triggers brain centers that control decision making and complex reasoning, which can actually help older people fight senility.

Tmobile launched first Android Phone The G1

October 18, 2008 No comments

The T-Mobile G1 with Google is the first commercially available phone to run on the ‘Android’ operating system, which empowers developers with tools to create and offer consumers applications that add value to their lives. This is one of many initiatives T-Mobile is working on to lead the industry in bringing real innovation to wireless customers.

The G1 starts out looking like a somewhat chunky (4.6″ x 2.1″ x .62″) PDA-phone, topped by a big 320×480 touch screen. The touch screen is wonderfully quick and responsive. Below the screen are five buttons and a small, slightly slippery track ball. Slide the screen to the right and turn the device 90 degrees, though, and it reveals a full QWERTY keyboard of slightly rubbery, nicely separated keys. There’s a miniUSB charging port on the bottom, and a MicroSD memory card slips into a difficult-to-open slot to the right of the keyboard. (The phone comes with a 1GB card.) On the back, there’s a 3-megapixel still camera.The G1 works on T-Mobile’s 3G network, on foreign 3G networks, and on GSM EDGE networks all over the world, including in the US.

The G1 also has Wi-Fi, though you can’t use it for phone calls. We got 600-700 kbps on a speed test Web site using T-Mobile’s 3G connection, which is a decent speed. You won’t be able to use the G1 as a 3G modem for your PC, T-Mobile execs said at the G1’s launch.

Some features of the G1 are:

480 x 320 resolution HVGA display

3G connectivity

GPS support

3.1 megapixel camera

Max. 8GB memory

5 hours talktime

130 hours standby time

I found this video on YouTube, enjoy

Cheapest Gas Prices

October 13, 2008 No comments

If you’re looking for cheap gas, as I’m sure most of us are, you need to check out at Yahoo!’s new tool. When you type in “gas prices” and your zip code you’ll be shown a map with prices in the area. I’ve used this now several times and the prices have been exactly what’s been posted. The other search engines only list local gas stations without showing you prices.

Online Advertising Holding Strong through Meltdown

October 10, 2008 No comments

In this tough economic time, safe investment options are scarce. Dwindling revenues across the board are resulting in a decrease in spending for most businesses. Online ad sales, however, continue to look promising, showing double-digit growth for the first half of the year, compared to the first half of 2007. The first half of 2008, according to data from the Interactive Advertising Bureau and PricewaterhouseCoopers, shows a 15.2% online ad growth rate. The growth includes spending on search, display (banners), rich media, and email advertising.

It is actually possible that online advertising can benefit from the current economic uncertainty. Marketers are forced to tighten up and focus their efforts on a medium that is both measurable and effective so they know that their ad spending is creating real revenue. Since online advertising provides both measurability and effectiveness, many advertisers are likely to pull the brakes on traditional marketing strategies and spend more on internet marketing.

This is not to say that online advertising and ecommerce are completely safe from economic downfall, as no business really is. The industry is, however, showing much more promise than most industries.

Get an Android Phone Now!

October 7, 2008 No comments

T-Mobile’s G1 smartphone, with a tentative release date of October 22, may be attainable much sooner if you have the right connections. The phone, which is the first to utilize Google’s Android interface, boasts features such as Wi-Fi, a QWERTY keyboard, a touch screen, and support for third-party applications.

Of course top dogs like Larry Paige have been showing off their new Android phones, but a number of lower-level Google employees have recently been spotted tinkering with the Android phone too. Apparently, the G1s are quickly making their way around the Google hierarchy.

So if you want to get your hands on the next generation smartphone, get out your black book and look for a Google employee to call.

Title/Meta Tags – Not Just for SEO

September 30, 2008 No comments

I was recently asked by a client if it would be a big deal to leave off title tags and meta tags from their site. Coming from an SEO background, I couldn’t express enough how important title tags are for ranking for keyword phrases. It made me think, however, about the effects title and meta tags have on click through rate.

Let’s assume that you do rank in the top ten in Google for a targeted keyword phrase. What is going to make a user click on your listing? Well, the first thing they will see is your title tag. At first glance, what is mentioned in your title tag is all they will know about your business. You basically have a fraction of a second to catch someone’s attention and provide them information about your page with your title tag. Since most search engines only display about 60-70 characters of your title tag, keep it short and sweet with your most important keywords at the beginning. Only use words that will make a difference, such as your main keyword phrase and the name of the company. Space is limited and precious, so don’t waste space with unnecessary filler words.

Since there is only enough space allowed in the title tag to grab the user’s attention, you need to complement it with the meta description. Since many search engines include a snippet from the description on the SERPs, this is your chance to provide more details on what your page is about and persuade them to click on your listing. Restate your main keyword phrase in the beginning of the first sentence and let the user know that this is the page they are looking for.

Of course the meta keywords are the least important piece of the heading, but if you can include them, do it. Just make sure any words you place in the meta keywords tag appear within the body of the page.
