If the subscribers don’t get to receive the emails, they won’t get to be exposed to your business message. Hence, the essence of keeping a mailing list would be lost. This is a very real concern that should not be neglected, as it does strike a dagger at the very heart of our marketing plans.
Enter RSS, or Real Simple Syndication, or Rich Site Summary, depending on your preference. To best describe RSS, we could define it as an email plus and plus. It serves all the purposes of email correspondence, and it boasts of entirely new features to boot! Let’s take a look at some of the things that make RSS special...

Introduction to Podcasting
Podcasting, quite appropriately, traces the roots of its name to iPod owners as well as owners of similar devices. Podcasting is much like broadcasting, making use of new technology on Internet content delivery. RSS 2.0 is the medium of choice for podcasting. But instead of syndicated text, RSS 2.0 would deliver codes that, when decoded, are translated to audio that could convey any message, whether for entertainment, for business, or for personal purposes.

However, there is a drawback as the Yahoo! directory results are not pulled if you do a search in Yahoo!. Instead, Google produces the search results. If you can afford the $299.00 annual submission fee, your site will get instantly spidered and you will receive a boost in Google's PageRank system.
Q. How often does Google update its index?A. Google updates their index hourly, which is why you are able to search on breaking news stories. However, only sites which Google deems as "most important" are included in these hourly updates. The rest of the sites are updated every few days or weeks. Google does one major update to their index per month and it occurs at ...

The ultimate aim of Internet marketing is to get the most exposure for the products we’re selling or the services we’re offering. Generally speaking, this is accomplished by generating a good volume of traffic to our websites. After all, the more people who would get to load up our pages, the more attention our products or services would receive. This is why many Internet marketers strongly believe that traffic is, without a doubt, the lifeblood of any online business.
Internet marketing strategies are geared towards acquiring as much traffic for your website as possible. Article marketing, forum marketing, search engine optimization tactics, keyword determination, building mailing lists, using blogs, seeding back links, viral marketing… these are all promotional ploys to win more visitors for your web pages.
