People are very interested in Andy's latest 3D animated
Poser videos on
creating better optimization for their websites. What is Poser? A very
unique 3d program that creates animations. The clothing for the 3d
character and background scenery looked familiar and was probably
purchased through
DAZ 3D.
I am a regular at
DAZ 3D as I too create Poser and
Mimic talking animations.
DAZ 3D provides a free environment for Poser characters called Daz
Studio. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the video.
The character talked you through some interesting modifications needed
to keep your website up-to-par if you are hoping to rank highly in
Google. Good job on the email sent also. Some interesting
copywriting. Here is the email below:Debbie
Whew, what a week.
Andy Jenkins here, and man, it's really been one for the books...
First of all, our "Going Natural 2.0" video went completely
ballistic--more than we ever expected.
In fact, the Stomper blog has been flooded with postings from people
raving about the video - and at least one person who saw
results in as little as 3 days after putting these strategies in action.
(In the video, I said it would take a week. So scribble another red
checkmark on the "Andy is Wrong" list.)
That's really cool. And I'm glad those little tweaks are creating big
results for you.
HOWEVER, while double listings in Google can bring a huge traffic
increase, there's something else lurking at Google that's not
so pretty...
In fact, it can get downright ugly. REAL ugly. We're talking making the
Exorcist look like Mary friggin' Poppins.
You might want to shield your eyes before
looking at my latest video...

button on the player and select "Destroy Duplicate Content")
Again, there's nothing to buy there. Just some major league "shock and
awe" that reveals the true inner workings of the hideous beast known as
"duplicate content".
OK, maybe "hideous beast" is a little over-the-top, but if you've ever
been dropped from Google and had no clue as to why, you
might not think so...
And this video could show you exactly what happened... and why.
Now if you've been lucky enough to have never had the privilege of
seeing all your hard work wiped from the face of the web, then
count yourself lucky...
... because this is one of those hidden "gotchas" that can sneak up on
you out of nowhere - even if you're playing by the rules AND your
content is 100% original.
Pretty amazing.
And VERY scary.
The bottom line is that if you have a web site, any type of web site,
you NEED to watch this video -
or you risk getting dropped from Google.

P.S. Lot of people think they know all about duplicate content and how
their site can be penalized.
But they have no clue just how devastating it can really be. We're not
just talking a temporary dip from page 1 to page 3, we're
talking total annihilation.
Think you're safe? Think again.

The 3 Things To Avoid When Emailing Your List |

When you decide to have an opt-in list, it is not just a matter of sending your
subscribers your promotional newsletters or catalogs. There are many things to
consider in avoiding many complications. While there are so many ways you can
make people subscribe to your list, there are also some things you must do to
avoid subscribers from wanting to get off from your list.
Aside from that, you also want to avoid any problems with the law and your
internet service provider or ISP. There are now many laws and rules that are
applied to help protect the privacy of the internet users from spamming and
unwanted mails. With the popularity of the electronic mail as a medium for
marketing because of the low cost, many companys have seized the opportunity
and have flooded many peoples e-mail accounts with promotional mail.
But, with an opt-in list, you avoid this annoyance because people subscribe to
the list; they want to receive the newsletters and promotional materials. They
have consented to being on the list by subscribing themselves, just don’t forget
to put an unsubscribe feature everytime in your opt-in list so that you avoid
any confusion. There may be times when an email account was provided when the
real owner didn't want to subscribe.
It is essential that you keep your list clean and manageable. Arrange it by
using the many tools and technologies available for your opt-in list. Do not
worry; your investment in this marketing strategy is well worth it with all the
coverage you will get which will likely be converted into sales then to profit.
Keep yourself and your business out of trouble and potential run-ins with the
law and the internet service providers. Keep your operation legit and clean.
Your reputation as a legitimate businessman and a legitimate site depends on
your being a straight and true marketing strategist. As a tip, here are three
things to avoid when emailing your list.
1) Take notice of your unsuccessful sends. These are the e-mails that bounce.
Bounced emails, also known as undeliverable messages, are those messages that,
for whatever reason, were not successfully received by the intended recipient.
There are bounces that happen or occur because the server was busy at that time
but can still be delivered in another time. There are also bounces because the
inbox of the recipient is full at that time. There are those bounce messages
that are simply undeliverable ever. The reason for this is that it may be an
invalid email address, a misspelled email address, or an email address that was
abandoned and erased already.
Manage your list by putting markings on those that bounce. Erase an email
account from your list so that you have an accurate statistics and records as to
how many are actually receiving your mail. You may also want to check the
spellings of your email addresses in your list. One common mistake is when an N
instead of an M is placed in the .com area.
2) Always provide an unsubscribe feature in your site and an unsubscribe link in
your mails. When someone in your list files a request to be unsubscribed, always
take that request seriously. If you don't take them off your list and keep
sending them your e-mails, you are now sending them spam mail.
When you are reported as a spammer, you and your business can get into a lot of
trouble. You can be reported to the authorities and maybe blacklisted by many
internet service providers. You will lose a lot of subscribers this way and many
more in potential subscribers.
3) Do not provide pornographic or shocking and disturbing content in your
newsletters. It is hard to decipher the age of the recipient and many complaints
may stem from these. Controversial issues also are to be avoided to not be
branded by your subscribers. Stick to the nature of your site and business.
Always remember these tips in this article so that you can have a healthy
relationship with your subscribers as well as be kept within the boundaries of
what is allowed in sending mails to an opt-in list.

SOFTWARE
REVIEW: If the response to your e-mail marketing promotions has taken
a nose-dive recently, you'll want to pay attention to this!
Review:
Desktop
Marketer Pro
 Every time someone sends me an e-mail telling me
that they've just discovered the "next big thing" in online
marketing, I'm naturally a little bit skeptical.
So when I received an e-mail from world-renowned
Internet marketing expert Derek Gehl recently telling me that he had a "revolutionary"
new product he wanted to show me, I wasn't sure what to expect!
It turns out that Derek was talking about
"direct-to-desktop" technology. Now, for those of you who haven't
heard of this before, it basically allows you to send messages directly to the desktops
of your customers or subscribers WITHOUT using e-mail. When you have a message you want
to send, it will "pop up" right on the desktops of their computers,
instead of landing in their e-mail inboxes.
I've actually heard of this technology before,
but the software necessary to get started cost a fortune (at least $10,000), and
you needed a team of programmers to implement it on your site. So when I decided
to take Derek up on his "90-Day Risk Free Trial," I was a little
nervous that the set-up process would be too complicated for me. (I am the farthest
thing from a "technical whiz" you will ever meet!)
I can honestly say I was amazed at how "dummy-proof"
this software is to use! I was up and running in no time, and everything worked
perfectly the first time around! And convincing my subscribers to download the little "Desktop
Reader" was actually really easy. (Derek is giving away a couple of free
reports with the software that explain a TON of great ways to
get people using the application.)
Once you start using "Desktop Marketer
Pro" for your business, you can simply forget about some of your biggest
e-mail marketing headaches! You'll never again need to worry about:
- People changing their e-mail addresses without
telling you.
- Your legitimate messages getting wrongfully
flagged as spam.
- Free accounts (like Yahoo! and Hotmail)
"bouncing back" your messages.
- Blocked mail and blacklists.
- Your message disappearing under a mountain
of junk e-mail and spam.
The bottom line is that this product does
everything it promises -- and a whole lot more! You can track exactly WHO is reading
your messages so you never have to guess if your e-mail is being delivered. I
give "Desktop Marketer Pro" a 10 out of 10 rating
-- my absolute highest recommendation!
