Enhancing Your List Building Skills And More | Free - Business in ...

Many an online business owner would grudgingly admit that list building, tedious as it may be, is an integral part of online marketing and building a business? customer base. Good effort often leads to great results, and this is the case with list building, as this can lead to good traffic and search engine rankings. There has been an increase in the number of Internet marketers and business owners who do this process themselves, though many still outsource. This is largely due to the increase in list building software packages that promise an easier task at hand with equal, or greater results.

They would do this themselves oftentimes by buying the latest list building software, convinced of their promises to simplify the arduous task of building a mailing list. Those who have bought and tried this software now accept that list building can indeed be made easier, and doesn?t have to be such a chore. And the list goes on, no pun intended.

A popular shortcut in the past was to buy targeted traffic to enhance one?s list. But there are different options available now that more and more marketers are trying. For one thing, eBay has always been the leader among online auction sites, and many marketers have wised up to the site?s tremendous list building potential. A very low-priced auction that could start even for a nickel or a dime, can add people to the list of emails by pitching a service that would inevitably lead customers to the main page. Additional auction sites like Ubid and Yahoo can offer the same advantages.

Aside from dynamite ad copy, list building is arguably the top tool, if not the number one tool in ensuring increased web traffic and business success on the Internet.

List building is, in most cases, the number one factor in determining whether a business would be successful profit-wise and in terms of Internet traffic. In this ongoing series, we will feature additional list building techniques.

Wife defends of soldier accused in Afghan rampage

(AP) ? The wife of a U.S. soldier accused of killing 17 Afghan villagers defended her husband in an interview with NBC's Today show, saying she finds the charges "unbelievable."

Karilyn Bales told Matt Lauer in comments set to air Monday that her husband, Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, is "very brave, very courageous."

The Washington state woman said her husband joined the Army after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to "protect his family, friends and country. He wanted to do his part."

Officials say Staff Sgt. Bales wandered off base in southern Afghanistan earlier this month and killed eight Afghan adults and nine children.

The wife of the Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier said the accusations are "unbelievable to me."

"He loves children, he's like a big kid himself," she said. " I have no idea what happened, but he would not ... he loves children, and he would not do that."

He was formally charged Friday with 17 counts of premeditated murder and other crimes.

U.S. investigators have said they believe Bales killed in two episodes, returning to his base after the first attack and later slipping away to kill again. He is reported to have surrendered without a struggle.

The 38-year-old married father of two from Lake Tapps, Wash., is being held at a U.S. military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.

Karilyn Bales has spoken to her husband by telephone twice since he was detained. The soldier called his wife first from overseas shortly after massacre, and then last week from Fort Leavenworth where the two talked about family matters and "reaffirmed their love for each other," said her attorney, Lance Rosen.

The couple has two young children, a girl named Quincy and a boy named Bobby.

Bales was on his fourth tour of duty in a war zone, having served three tours in Iraq, where he suffered a head injury and a foot injury. His civilian attorney, John Henry Browne, had said the soldier and his family had thought he was done fighting.

The family has set up a defense fund to help pay for Bales' legal fees.

The Bales family had a Seattle-area home condemned, struggled to make payments on another and failed to get a promotion a year ago. Karilyn Bales put the family's Lake Tapps, Wash., home up for sale days before the rampage.

The youngest of five brothers, Bales grew up in the working class Cincinnati suburb of Norwood, Ohio, and has been described as cheerful, all around good guy. He joined the Army two months after 9/11, after a Florida investment business failed and after he had worked with a string of securities operations.

Santorum beats Romney in Louisiana

His victory in Louisiana gives Rick Santorum bragging rights, but it does not change the overall dynamics of the race. He still dramatically lags behind Mitt Romney in the hunt for delegates.

Rick Santorum won the Louisiana Republican presidential primary Saturday, beating front-runner Mitt Romney in yet another conservative Southern state.

Skip to next paragraph

Although the victory gives Santorum bragging rights, it does not change the overall dynamics of the race; the former Pennsylvania senator still dramatically lags behind Romney in the hunt for delegates to the GOP's summertime nominating convention.

Even so, Santorum's win underscores a pattern in the drawn-out race.

The under-funded under-dog has tended to win in Bible Belt states that include Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Romney ? a deep-pocketed, highly organized former Massachusetts governor ? has persistently struggled in such heavily conservative regions.

Neither candidate was in the state as Louisiana Republicans weighed in. Nor was former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who was trailing in Louisiana.

Romney took a rare day off Saturday, with no public events. Santorum spent the day campaigning in Pennsylvania and next-up Wisconsin, which votes April 3 and represents one of his last chances to beat Romney in a Midwestern state.

RECOMMENDED: Why Rick Santorum has only a 1 percent chance of stopping Mitt Romney

Early exit polls conducted for The Associated Press and the television networks showed that Santorum's win in Louisiana was one of his strongest performances to date among conservatives, working class voters, and those calling the economy their top issue. And he continued his dominance among white evangelical voters and those looking for a candidate who shares their religious beliefs.

As in previous Southern states, Romney's best showing came among those voters with annual incomes above $100,000 and those who prioritized a candidate's ability to defeat President Barack Obama in November.

The bad economy was the top issue for Louisiana voters. Most were gloomy about prospects for a recovery, saying they felt the economy was getting worse instead of better. While some national surveys suggest Americans are feeling optimistic about economic improvement, just one in eight Republican primary voters said they thought a recovery was under way.

Santorum badly needed a rebound after a decisive Illinois loss to Romney earlier in the week that moved party stalwarts to rally around the front-runner. Many urged Santorum and Gingrich to drop out of the race.

The Rise Of The Explainer Video

flipboard videoTwo years ago, Jason Kincaid wrote a short but influential post titled ?The Underutilized Power Of The Video Demo To Explain What The Hell You Actually Do.? He said:
During my time at TechCrunch I?ve seen thousands of startups and written about hundreds of them. I sure as hell don?t know all the secrets to building a successful company, but there are a few things I?ve seen that seem like surefire ways to ever-so-slightly grease the road to success. Here?s an easy one: make a video demo and prominently promote it somewhere where new visitors can find it. One that shows off the core function of your product without making people think they?re watching an ad or a pitch. And answer, as thoroughly as possible in 2-3 minutes, what it is that you?re bringing to the table.
Jason was spot-on with his assessment.

(AP) ? On the verge of victory, Roger Federer stopped playing when he thought a pivotal point had ended.

He mistook a fan's shout for a linesman's call, which cost him the game. Play continued for another 25 minutes before Federer finally closed out his opening match at the Sony Ericsson Open by beating 19-year-old American Ryan Harrison 6-2, 7-6 (3).

"I'd like to make it a bit more difficult for my opponent," Federer said. "I was just completely confused about the whole situation."

Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova, Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick won in more straightforward fashion, but two-time champion Kim Clijsters was eliminated.

Federer led 5-2 in the second set and had a chance to finish in less than an hour until he lost two fluky points that extended the match.

Serving at 5-3, Federer blew an easy overhead to fall behind 15-30. One point later, facing break point for the only time in the match, Federer hit a forehand that landed on the baseline.

A fan hollered "Out!" and Federer stopped. By the time he realized the ball was still in play, Harrison had won the point ? and the game.

"It completely threw me off," Federer said. "It's the first time it has ever happened in my career. I was like, 'That's it? That's a break point? This is how this is going to happen?'"

Harrison took advantage of the break, although he said he felt bad about it.

"Obviously I want to win every point the right way, and not because something happened," the teenager said. "Unfortunately somebody interrupted play."

After Harrison held twice to force the tiebreaker, Federer hit a spectacular lunging lob to turn a scrambling exchange his way for a 4-2 lead. Four points later, he closed out his 40th victory in the past 42 matches.

"I felt like I had to win the match like three times at the end, so I was relieved to come through," he said.

Federer has a 77-match winning streak against players outside the top 20. Harrison is ranked 73rd but on the rise.

"He'll make his move up the rankings," Federer said. "He's a good athlete. I hope he stays healthy so he can show everyone what he's got."

The No. 3-seeded Federer's opponent in the third round will be another American, familiar foil Roddick. They've played 23 times and Roddick has won only twice, although he did beat Federer at Key Biscayne in 2008.

"There's no getting around the fact that he has been the biggest obstacle in my career," Roddick said. "His game matches up well against mine."

Roddick lost only five points on his first serve, never faced a break point and beat Gilles Muller 6-3, 6-2. Roddick is trying to improve a ranking that has dropped to 34th, the lowest he has been since 2001.

The top-seeded Djokovic, who won the tournament in 2007 and 2011, improved to 7-0 against Marco Baghdatis by winning 6-4, 6-4.

Williams started early and finished fast. Walking onto the stadium court at 11 a.m., Williams dominated with her serve, played consistently from the baseline and moved into the fourth round by beating Roberta Vinci 6-2, 6-1.

Williams was done shortly after noon.

"I'm not a morning person," she said. "I actually hate morning matches, but I always do my best at 11 o'clock matches."

Williams won most of the short points and a succession of long rallies as well. She hit 25 winners while committing 20 unforced errors.

Seeded 10th, Williams is making her return to tournament tennis after a two-month absence because of a left ankle injury. At No. 20, Vinci is the highest-ranked player Williams has beaten this year.

Williams is seeking her first tournament championship since August, and she's bidding for a record sixth title at Key Biscayne.

"I need trophies," she said. "I want to add more and to do more. There are records to break. So I'll do it. I've just got to believe it. I do believe it."

Sharapova, seeded second, beat American qualifier Sloane Stephens 6-4, 6-2. Clijsters, coming back from an ankle injury, lost to No. 23 Yanina Wickmayer 6-4, 7-6 (5).

Former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki beat No. 29-seeded Petra Cetkovska 6-3, 7-5. Reigning French Open champion Li Na defeated Iveta Benesova 7-5, 6-2, and Samantha Stosur, last year's U.S. Open winner, rallied past Chanelle Scheepers, 2-6, 7-5, 6-2.

No. 8 Mardy Fish was among 15 seeded men to advance. One lost: No. 15 Feliciano Lopez was beaten by fellow Spaniard Albert Ramos, 6-4, 7-6 (5).

European Union investigating proposed purchase of EMI by Universal Music

By Agence France-Presse
Friday, March 23, 2012 19:55 EDT

?

BRUSSELS ? The European Commission Friday opened an in-depth investigation of the proposed purchase of British music label EMI Music by Vivendi subsidiary Universal Music Group, over competition concerns.

?The proposed acquisition could reduce competition in the recorded music market to the detriment of European consumers,? the EU?s Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia said in a statement.

?The commission needs to make sure that consumers continue to have access to a wide variety of music in different physical and digital formats at competitive conditions,? Almunia added.

Universal Music Group last Novemeber announced its purchase of EMI from US bank Citigroup for ?1.2 billion (1.4 billion euros, $1.9 billion).

EMI ? home to a galaxy of stars including The Beatles, Coldplay and US pop starlet Katy Perry ? was seized by its main creditor Citigroup in February 2011 from private equity owner Terra Firma.

The purchase price represented seven times EMI gross profits before synergies, Vivendi had said.

The deal did not include EMI?s music publishing unit which is to be sold to a group of investors led by Sony for $2.2 billion (?1.4 billion).

The commission is expected to review that deal in April.

Pork Eating Knights Templar Crusader Patch Huge Hit With Troops In Afghanistan

Source: Business Insider

With tensions at an all time high in Afghanistan following the Koran burnings, the urination video, and the killing of 16 civilians, attention is now falling on a long line of ?Infidel? apparel and gear.

Exhausted from how they feel they?re being perceived, troops have taken to wearing patches and carrying items that label themselves infidels, and offer translation in local dialect.

In the Muslim world an infidel means literally ?one without faith? who rejects the central teachings of Islam.

Military.com tracked down Clayton Montgomery at Mil-Spec Monkey, a large online seller of infidel gear, who says his most popular item by far is the ?Pork Eating Crusader Patch.?

The patch includes an image of a knight in a Crusade?s tunic, eating what appears to be a large ham hock, and lest there be any confusion ? a translation in Arabic.

They haven?t gone unnoticed. The website Muslim Awakening, posts a picture of what appears to be a German soldier with the patch adhered to his combat uniform.

Other items are more subtle.

There is the Infidel Zippo advertised as: ?This one is small enough to hold some personal meaning and not be in-your-face to everyone you meet. It?s perfect for pulling out at just the right moment to get the full effect.?
