Network Solutions offers PerformanceClicks

If you’re easily confused by terms like CPM, PPC, keyword purchasing, SEO, and the like, you’re probably not quite ready to manage your own internet marketing campaign. If you’re a small business or website operator, or even a large corporation, you’ll want someone helping you put your business out there for people to find, both in search engines and on web sites.


When you need performance advertising, you want to pay for your results. This can happen in one of two ways: you either pay someone to show your advertisement in “Bill Board Mode” where you pay every time it’s shown, or some systems are a pay per click program.

Network Solutions, the company most people know for their domain name registrar services, is promoting their PerformanceClicks program. This is perfect for people who don’t have time to manage their own keyword and internet search engine marketing. They can customize an AdWords or Yahoo campaign, or both, and get your business in local and global search results.

With enough information about you and your business, they can customize a marketing solution to drive only the targeted customers you want to your website or business. Why throw advertising dollars away on a hit-or-miss guessing game when you can have experts efficiently target your ads and write effective copy for you?

You can choose either a full-featured custom plan for around $400 a month, or if you’re on a tighter budget, there are several pre-packaged starter plans for around $125 a month. Hiring a full-time internet marketing agent or a firm to do this for you would cost you almost that much an hour, instead of per month.

Plus, you can order up customized landing pages, which means whatever topic your ad was on is what page your visitors will land on, making it easier to turn clicks into sales. And ultimately, sales, or ROI (Return-on-Investment) is what it’s all about.

DepositNow! Online Check Deposits

June 17th, 2008 | 1 Comment | Posted in Business, Entrepreneurship, Lifestyle, Technology, Tidbits

A relatively new service called DepositNow! (they’ve been around since 2004) allows small business owners, eBay power sellers, online retailers, and other people who might need to deposit a lot of checks, scan their checks and deposit them online from a normal computer.

This technology has often turned people off, because previously when you purchased a check scanner, that’s all it could do: scan checks. DepositNow! has developed their own check scanner that’s about half the price of other check scanners (about $225 USD) and can be used as a regular scanner as well.

Unfortunately, depositing checks online is only available to customers who bank in the United States. However, this could be a really useful service to anyone who has to daily make bank runs to deposit checks, especially in light of the recent rise in gas prices. The savings on gas almost make this scanner pay for itself after a month or two!

Think not only about the money you’ll save, but the time: instead of wasting time running to the bank before opening your store, you could be done in less time without leaving the office, and tend to other things that might need more attention. Or maybe just use the time to sit and have a cup of coffee and relax!

Visit DepositNow to sign up for online check depositing, use promo code “THE RAGING TECH” and you’ll receive $25 off the price of the scanner. That’ll also get me $25 if you become their customer, which will help me put gas in my car!

Package Your Product: Labels Sell!

When you walk through the store and are making your purchasing decision, the label of a product can often have a big impact on whether or not your first impressions of a product are good ones. A nice looking label conveys a professional company and a well-made product. If you’re a small business trying to succeed on the market with your product, you want it to seem that way, right?

Getting a professional label made is an important part of selling any product. A Food Label, for instance, should contain pictures of the food looking delicious and prepared for eating, and should clearly display the brand name.

You’ll want your label to be brightly colored, and stand out from the others. If most people in your market use red labels, use something different. If it’s right next to them on the shelf, you’re more likely to get people to try your product.

LabelWorld is a provider of labels for different products, especially foods and beverages. Keep in mind though, these are not for small orders, like custom labels for wine at a wedding, so expect to make a large order for more of a business use.
