Profit From Private Label Rights
– reported by WebProNews
Private Label Rights take the concept of profiting from other peoples work one step further. They give you the raw data, the meat of the product, and allow you to claim it as your own!
Private Label Rights are an incredible asset to the marketers arsenal. They give you all the benefits of having your own product without the time and effort of creating it yourself. And you don’t get the main problem of “vanilla” resell rights, that of everyone selling the same products.
With the rights to these products you are free to include all the modifications you wish. You can include all the links you want, any graphics you wish and any new content (or edit existing content). And after all this you can place a “(C) Your Name” message to really stamp home the message that this is YOUR work.
However a little more work is required to turn this data into a finished, saleable book or application. It’s not a matter of branding your name and uploading a website - but the small amount of extra effort is well worth it.

As you can see, there are many possibilities.

Pew Internet published a report that, basically, says that the average Internet user doesn’t have a lot of knowledge about new technologies:
Public Awareness of Internet Terms
The average American internet user is not sure what podcasting is, what an RSS feed does, or what the term “phishing” means
I guess this means that we have to do a better job of making this mainstream.
You can access the report, in PDF fomat.

I found this piece of writing thanks to Blogspotting:
Favorite excerpt:
Webloggers write short posts. A good weblogger is a short post weblogger. War and Peace: there was a city, there was a war, there was Napoleon, he didn’t blog.
That had me laughing out loud, which isn’t good in my current pain-filled condition.
It’s a good post.

Blogs Taking Off in Cambodia
– reported by Wired News
Like many young Cambodians just now getting used to the idea of surfing the web, Mean Lux only recently heard about blogs. But his work traveling this country’s back roads may soon bring a rush of Cambodians to the blogosphere.
As part of a project launched by a pro-democracy nonprofit, Mean spent most of June in dusty provincial capitals showing high-school and university students how to publish an online diary.
It’s always interesting to see how technology is being used around the world. (This story found via Blogger Buzz.)

Paras Shah published an article in WebProNews entitled “How To Design A Search Engine Friendly Website” that has some very user-friendly tips. Here are a few takeaways (if you want the whole thing, read the article).
DISCLAIMER: everything past this point is an excerpt from the article. And I really do recommend that you read the whole thing — they have list of tools and links to other resources.
1. Search Engine Friendly Pages
- If you’re using table for laying out your page then make them simple and not too complex.
- Avoid using frames.
- Position the main content of the page before the images, or at least with the images nested between the texts.
2. Keywords - Having good keywords is one of the most important areas to consider when designing a website/webpage.
3. Content - Use competitive keywords relevant to the purpose of the page within the main body of the page.
4. Page Title - To keep within the limits of many search engines the number of words for the Title shouldn’t exceed nine.
5. Page Description -Again, it is a good idea to pay attention to the use of good keywords when writing the description, which should be short (not more than 20-25 words) and sells your page before the user, has even opened it!
6. Graphics - As a general rule of thumb it is best to stick to a 70/30 ratio (70 text/30 images).
7. Site Map - A Site Map is a fantastic way for search engines to find all your juicy pages on your website.
8. Navigation Links - Therefore if your site does have complicated navigation then it’s always a good idea to implement simple text based hyperlinks to your common pages at the bottom of every page on your website.

One of the great things about the blogosphere is finding a good blog thanks to another good blog. I recently started to track Adventures in Net Marketing and have been pleased with the content so far. BJ, the editor/poster/commentator, is self-employed and runs an online business. She runs a successful online business.
The blog covers “My web-publishing adventures, and my fun, but wild ride through the hype-filled world of online marketing.”
Here are a few posts I liked enough to share:

I’ve more or less picked my niches for the two example sites I’m going to put up using Xsite Pro and SEO Website Builder. I’m not one to reveal my sites - roaming the forums reading some of the horror…

I use Wordpress for a lot of my sites, but often my sites are NOT blogs. Instead, I’ve been using Wordpress as a content management system. If your webhost offers Cpanel with Fantistico, Wordpress is quick to set up, and…
How I Use Wordpress to Set Up Niche Sites
Okay, here’s the post I promised Dave. First, though, a disclaimer. I am NOT a Wordpress expert. I started using Wordpress for blogging (not this blog, though, which is a Typepad blog) and then realized what a wonderful content management…
