How User Friendly Is Your Website?
Free Web Resources,Business
Talk to any online marketer and they are bound to tell you that having your own website is the key to making an impressive amount of money online.
But in fact that statement should be qualified a little. A website will certainly give you a good chance of earning a decent income, but even if you are selling something that everyone in the world is clamouring to buy, you won’t get many sales if your website isn’t user friendly.
Unfortunately this is something not everyone understands. Some people seem to like making life hard for everyone who finds their site.
Rule number one to follow if you want to make sure your site is user friendly is to make life as easy as possible for your visitors. After all, you’re going to put in a lot of effort to get them to visit your site in the first place; you don’t want them leaving after just a few seconds because you didn’t put enough thought into how your site is put together.
A good way to make sure your site works well is to ask a couple of friends or family members to take a look at it for you. Better still ask them to perform a couple of actions. For example, you could ask them to sign up for your newsletter, find a particular piece of information or get the details of a specific product you are selling.
What you need to know is how easy it was for them to do all these tasks. A good website should lead the visitor through it and point the way towards the various options available. It is well known that the average attention span of an online surfer can be measured in terms of just a few seconds, rather than the minutes some people hope for.
You might think that putting in countless signposts to things is insulting to peoples’ intelligence, but in fact if you don’t do this you could be losing out on sales, sign ups and repeat custom.
Make sure your home page has clearly labelled links to all the main areas of your site. You should also ensure that you include a site map for those that require it. If your site is already up and running now is the time to review it – and rope in your friends and family to help you.
As you make changes and clarify any areas that need improvement, keep in mind this simple rule that will help you create a better website. Just imagine leading each visitor by the hand and showing them the best of what your website has to offer.
If you think about this image, you won’t leave any paths unexplored – and that means your visitors will be able to find them all far more easily.

Affordable & Customized TV Commercials - OXY MORON?
Advertising,Marketing,Self Improvement
There are many online Television Production companies such as Spot Runner that offer very low pricing for 30-second commercials, starting at $499. The reason why the pricing is so low is because they sell pre-made commercial templates to consumers. They change the voice-over and the Titling and ship you a copy of a copy of a copy.
Does this mean that if you buy a 30-second commercial from Spot Runner, then dozens of other dentists across the nation may have the same commercial? That's EXACTLY what it means!
Many small businesses would like to produce high production value commercials like the big boys, but they get scared away by the high costs. One business owner had called an ad agency and was quoted $100,000 for a 30 second commercial. He then visited Spot On Media and found out about their different pricing packages. Spot On Media guarantees satisfaction and on top of that, they also guarantee 100% customization for every unique client.
They have an Editor's Package which includes editing, voice over, music, stock video and still photography and scripting (unlimited revisions for a 2 month period). If you are familiar with a little company like "Vista Print" and what they did for the business card industry, then watch out for Spot On Media because they are taking the Television Advertising Industry by storm.
Here are a few of their work with budgets starting at just $2950+

FREE images for your Craigslist ads
Internet,Advertising,Website Design
People like images so it’s not a big surprise that Craigslist ads with images are more popular. What surprise me that is not a lot of people use images for their ads. I can help you to find free images and use them to make your ads stand out of crowd.
Do not steal photos for your Craigslist ads… You do not need it. You can find lot of free images online. One of them that you can use for real estate and rent apartment ads is Vancouver Architecture’s photo-set of http://www.flickr.com/photos/vancouvergo. They are without copyright and are really free. I know what I am talking about - I made them.
You can use Flickr images for your ads for sure. if there is no copyright on them and they are free to be seen by everybody - these images are deemed to be free. BUT no matter which sources you use, I recommend always crediting and — where possible — informing the authors that their work is used and published somewhere. To someone who has been so generous to offer his creative work for your own use, it is not much to offer full credit, acknowledgment, a link back and information about where the image is used.
My other favorite free images websites:
http://www.freeimages.co.uk - they have more than 2500 original stock photos all for FREE!
http://www.fotogenika.net - thousands images, the site is a little slow to download
Another option is to use free icons for your Craigslist ads. You can find a bunch of free icons on http://www.freeiconsweb.com. I've created some examples to show how to use icons for your Craigslist Ads. See examples at http://craigslist-templates.com/category/free-images-for-ads/
When using free icons or images from the web please read carefully their rules - some free images creators does not need anything from you, some wants to see a link to their website or some other kind of acknowledgment. You can place a link to them under your ads. Web community will appreciate it.

FREE Craigslist Templates and how to use them to create your Craigslist ads
Advertising,Internet Marketing,Website Design
I’ve received a lot of inquries to explain how to create a particular layout for a Craigslist ads. People send me examples they found on Craigslist. it’s too much of them to answer individually. So I start a set of articles “Good Craigslist ads and how to do it - examples and code”.
See the first example at http://craigslist-templates.com/good-craigslist-ads-and-how-to-do-it-example-1-and-code/ and the second at http://craigslist-templates.com/good-craigslist-ads-and-how-to-do-it-example-2-and-code/
Both examples have screenshots and cde that you can copy and paste into Craigslist 'Posting Description'
What Craigslist is about:
Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free classified advertisements (with jobs, internships, housing, personals, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, resume, and pets categories) and forums on various topics.
The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. Having observed people helping one another in a friendly, social and trusting community way on the Internet, the WELL, and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events.
As of today Craigslist.org is the 9th most visited website in the United States and in 450 cities worldwide. Craigslist.org receives over 7 billion page views per month… which translates into more than 20 million visitors a month.
With over thirty million new classified advertisements each month, Craigslist is the leading classifieds service in any medium. The site receives over two million new job listings each month, making it one of the top job boards in the world.

Errors To Avoid When Choosing Web Templates
Computers,Internet,Website Design
Errors To Avoid When Choosing Web Templates
Website templates are very affordable and they save you a lot of effort and time when you want to create a new layout for your website.
However, a lot of people make mistakes in the process of choosing and using a web template and end up with something that was unlike the image they had in mind.
Here are some guidelines to help you avoid those mistakes.
The first obvious mistake you should be aware of is using a template that is very popular. If many people use the same template, your website will not appear unique at all and your credibility as a solid, different website will be tarnished. In other words, you will appear generic just like your next-door neighbours.
The whole point of using a web template is to save time and effort. You just change the title and appropriate details and you're done. The biggest mistake one makes is to customize the template beyond recognition. While that may be good in the sense that you're creating a unique graphic, you're defying the very purpose of using a web template -- saving time and effort.
However, on the opposite side, if a template you purchase is suitable but some changes must be made to suit your site's theme, then you will have to take some time to make the changes. For example, you can find a very nice template that suits your hobby site except the original designer has put an image of stamps in the header. You can find images of garden plants and spades to replace the stamps for your gardening hobby site. However, do only make the necessary changes and don't redesign the whole template.
In some circumstances, some people simply make the wrong choice of templates. This is a very subjective issue but you have to be careful in selecting templates to suit your audience. Do not choose templates just because they are pretty; choose them because they serve your purpose.
In Summary:
The first obvious mistake you should be aware
of is:
Do not use a template that is very popular. li>
Do not customize the template beyond
recognition.
Make only the necessary changes and don't
redesign the whole template.
Choose templates because they serve your
purpose not because they look pretty.

Are The Colours You Are Using Sending Out The Right Message?
Free Web Resources
If you were to ask someone what the most important aspects of any website are, the chances are their answers wouldn’t include the use of colour.
While it isn’t perhaps at the top of the list, colour can play a more vital role than you might imagine. For example if your website is aimed at men you wouldn’t choose tones of pink and purple to design your site. This is an obvious point to make but it does illustrate the need to think about what colours you are using and how you are using them.
Some people have experimented with the order buttons they use on their sites, using different colours to see how the number of orders received is affected. Although red is a colour which is often associated with danger, it also makes people stop and pay attention (think of road signs). This is why it can work well when used strategically on websites, so long as it isn’t overused.
On the other hand blue and green are traditionally calming colours and can subtly make sure that people relax and take longer to explore your site. In this sense how you use colour has a direct relation to how well your website fares. We’ve all come across those sites which seem to think that the more colour they use – regardless of how much those colours may clash – the more attractive they must look.
In reality of course it’s usually the opposite. Bright and garish colours can send people away quicker than anything else. Be wary also that using white or coloured text on a black background is harder to read and can put some people off your site altogether.
In the end it’s always worth showing your site to a selection of people before you go live with it. Constructive feedback at this stage can make all the difference between launching your site successfully or having to go back and make changes.
