Time for some blatant self promotion! At The Affiliate Desk I have made it my job to get it right. My experience has brought about an awareness, the fact that people want concise and accurate information that is relevant and useful. It is with this awareness I made a decision. To evolve, not dissolve. To learn and to share. To give of that which I have found to work. To change this and that and do my best by presenting you with clear choices, by doing what needs to be done. So it goes...
Hi! My name is Lawrence Ip, and I am a WordPress advocate, which means I think it is the ants pants.

Utilizing the appropriate plugins, the power of Web 2.0 and Social Media. So have a stretch for a minute, grab yourself a refreshing drink and let's have some fun.

The Quick...The Discerning...The Accurate...
Sub Domains.. An Internet Marketer's Best Friend...
My not to long.. Not to short.. Synopsis of the internet...
Lord Buddha watched the spiders in the Bodhi tree before he took his seat.
All roads lead to Rome. Let me rephrase that. What I meant to say. Is this. Picture a tree! A Bodhi tree. Look upon the Bodhi tree as if it were the "Tree Of Knowledge". And in that tree lives various species of spiders. All with their specialized environments and specific survival needs. My point here is, that some of us look upon the internet as if it were a single foreboding entity. This is not the case. The World Wide Web is one of a multitude of webs that reside in it's host, the "Tree Of Knowledge". Reflecting the highest qualities in human nature and is therefore part of our evolutionary process. Yes. Webs need a home too!We need to digress for a moment.
Webs, like everything else in nature, respond to their environment. You'll agree that no two webs are the same. The tree itself has it's place in the realm of possibility. Each web, like a well strung harp, plays an individual harmony which the tree responds to. So it goes...
The Internet was created, designed and implemented by us, for us, with good intention in mind. May it remain that way. It is also maintained, continually developed and upgraded by us too. It is a testimony to our imaginative tool making ability.
At present my propositions are these...
. The greatest appeal of the Internet are the elements of anonymity and control.
. The Internet fulfills the content on demand need effectively and efficiently. It is perfect for it.
. We choose the content we want and in that is the agreement to participate.
. As a vehicle for the exchange and transfer of data and digital media the Internet has no rival.
. The Internet is a powerful resource with potential we are just beginning to realize.
. As a powerful resource we can utilize this potential towards our best aims.

Why most websites never get noticed...
First, why would you make this decision? It won't be due to overwhelming proof of success. There is none. Nor will you find a Family Bulletin Board...they only take pride in financial statements (theirs). No, more than likely, you accepted the lure of cheap (even free!), quick, easy "business hosting."
Soon, though, you realize you are spinning your wheels. You need to upgrade to their "Premium Package". You buy two key add-on modules (yes, in addition to the Premium Package, at an additional monthly cost). And you have to hire a Webmaster to help you coordinate all this, as well as customize one of the programs that "came free" with your hosting.
In a few months, you're spending an hour or two per day researching the Web to "keep up" and trying to figure out how to build traffic. You're reading several Net marketing e-zines, worrying about technical and Search Engine issues (two of the Search Engine zines...yet another yearly subscription and another cost). And you're buying more and more expensive third-party software, on the excited say-so of this expert or that.
Non-SiteBuildIt! owners waste so much time and money chasing the holy grail of traffic. Despite paying top dollar for "Premium Packages," programmers and costly software packages, their sites sit idle, unvisited.
SO WHAT IS THE SOLUTION?
SiteBuildIt! from SiteSell.com...
. SitebuildIt! (SBI) sites are largely in the Top 3%. And, after one year, SBI! owners spend a fraction of the time and money building their web businesses. Every bit of that reserve goes into building their business, not fighting the barriers.
Non SBI!
! sites are lost on the web because they all follow the same doomed route. Here's the big picture, old-fashioned vs. SiteBuildIt! comparison...
. high prices (those add-ons add up) vs. one low price
. major time loss (fighting barriers) vs. efficient focus on business
. learning curves and complexity vs. "follow the Action Guide"
. "marketing noise" chasing you at every turn vs. "follow the Action Guide"
. no clean step-by-step process vs. "follow the Action Guide"
. scattered information, process, and tools vs. complete and integrated set of the right tools
. no knowledgeable community and culture of success vs. the help-and-be-helped SBI! Forums.
. corporate focus on their bottom line vs. SiteSell's focus on your bottom line.
Net comparison? Almost all non-SBI! sites languish unvisited. SBI! sites receive hundreds and thousands of visitors per day. Free, interested, warm visitors. Imagine what that would mean to your bottom line.
TRAFFIC!
Your topical content ranks high at the Search Engines (ex., Google, Yahoo! MSN), attracting free, targeted (i.e., interested), open-to-you visitors. Basically, these future customers "meet you" at your site. These visitors are known as "Traffic." How well does SBI! drive "Traffic"?...To the Top 3%.
Traffic Building Results...
There are over 56 million sites on the Web. 1,000 randomly selected SiteBuildIt! sites were recently studied.
All statistics are according to Netcraft.com, a leading Net demographic firm and according to Alexa.com, the leading traffic-measurement company. Netcraft tracks the Web hosting industry intensively. Alexa is owned by Amazon.com and powered by Google...it measures traffic-popularity based on 10 million surfers.
Summary of Results...
. 35% of SBI! sites ranked in the top 1% of all sites (i.e., their Alexa Traffic Rank was in the Top 560,000, higher than 99% of all sites on the Web).
. 53% were in the top 2%
. 62% scored in the top 3%.
This survey was first performed 2 years earlier. How does the current survey compare? SBI! site owners were doing well 2 years ago. And they are doing even better now, ranking higher despite "competition" from far more Web sites.
As the years go by, as the Web becomes more and more competitive, the natural and powerful process and tools of SBI! continue to show their strength.
WOW! You people knock my socks off!

Thank you for creating this group and for opening it to me as a new member. I like what Lawrence Ip said, "busting the myths" about traffic. It couldn't be any better. So much hype when in reality the techniques for driving are so conflicted and stealthy. Visit my lens "Why reading this ebook is.."
