"The Dangers Of Identity Theft
and How To Protect
Yourself"
By: Tim Gilligan
a/k/a/ "Skipper"
An interesting and very
informative look at the various methods used by
"Identity Thieves" to grab your personal information
and use it to run up thousands of dollars of debt and
also to perpetrate all kinds of fraud in YOUR name
causing you all kinds of grief and aggravation. There are
many ways that you can protect yourself from these
threats that are just plain "common sense" but there
are also some ways that you may not have thought
about that are explained in this book.
*****
Skipper's Orders Of The Day *****
(Editor Comments)
From the Quarter Deck of the S.S. Minnow
with "Skipper" Tim Gilligan at the helm.
I give you my personal guarantee that I will not
leave you stranded on some uncharted and deserted
island in the middle of the Internet!
Hi everyone,
And Welcome Aboard to all of our new subscribers!
We're picking up more and more every day!
Check out that subscriber count up there at the
top of the left sidebar.... All I can say is WOW!
and welcome to all of our new subscribers.
I guess we must be
doing something that a lot of people like to see.
I'm going to take a chance on hurting my shoulder
by patting myself on the back and hope that I can
continue doing whatever it is that you like.
Okay, I've written
a couple of very informative articles for you in
today's edition. If you take a look at them and
read them, you'll notice they both have a definite
idea that I'm attempting to convey to you.
This is a very
subtle way of letting you know that I've added
website designing to the services we offer at
TeeJay Enterprises.
I've had several
people comment on how nice my websites look and
recently I've had a few people contact me for
consultations on their websites.
I offer a free
consultation to all of my clients either by phone
or by e-mail. If they already have their own
website, I take a look at it and offer some
suggestions on how to improve it.
If they've just
been primarily involved with affiliate marketing
and do not have a website of their own, then I
will usually work out an agreement with them to
built a website from the ground up for a very
reasonable price.
It is really a
source of total amazement to me that so many
people are involved with affiliate marketing and
they have no way of maintaining an on going
relationship with the people they send to an
affiliate site.
I'm quite sure
you've heard the saying, "The money is in your
list", but how do you even get a list started if
you're constantly sending potential clients off to
an affiliate website and don't have any way of
capturing the person's name and e-mail address.
Sure, there's lots of affiliate sites out there
that constantly tell you that you can make
gazillions of bucks without having your own
website, but don't fall for that line of garbage.
I've been doing
this Internet marketing thing for close to ten
years now and I've yet to come across anyone who's
making even a mediocre income of $20,000 to
$30,000 without having their own website.
So, if you don't
have your own website yet, or maybe if you do and
it's just not working for you, why don't you
invest a little time and pick up the phone and
give me a call, or send me an e-mail and we'll see
what we can work out for you. You can scroll down
to the bottom of this page and get my contact
information.
BTW, just to help
put your mind at ease, the initial consultation is
absolutely free and if you decide you want me to
build a website for you, you'll find my rates are
no where near what the big time professionals
would charge you.
I won't quote any
prices here because each project is different and
most of the time, the cost is determined by what
you actually want on your site. But I will
reassure you, my rates are a lot less than you
would pay elsewhere.
Okay, I don't want to take up a bunch of your time
with my ramblings, so I'll let you get on with
reading today's edition.
Also,
I would greatly appreciate your feedback and/or
questions.
And always remember, your comments and/or
suggestions are always welcome and also greatly
appreciated. And if there is any way that I can
help you, I'm only an e-mail away.
You have decided
to put up a new website. Congratulations! Now
the work begins. Within this article, are some
items you will want to consider as your
website comes to life.
A webmaster would recommend that you have a
domain name that brings in at least one good
keyword about your website. The webmaster will
help you with suggestions to get a good domain
name.
You also need to select the purpose of the
website. This is crucial.
Here are just a
few ideas that your website could be used for:
Will it be used to
drive leads to build a customer list
Will you want
people to fill out a form to give you
information on their situation
Are you are just
looking to get information about you and your
firm out to the public
Do you want to use
your website more as a savings of time to send
out reports to people that request
information?
Do you want to
portray an image of a modern fast paced type
of company or do you want to portray an image
of a down home southern charming retail store?
Do you want to
direct them to a phone line for more
information or an autoresponder or maybe sign
up for an ezine?
Depending on the
needs of the person behind the website, the
webmaster can get a better idea how to make
the overall look and feel of the website, so
try to be clear on what you want your website
to accomplish.
You might also show the webmaster colors you
like and get their thoughts as to the colors
that move the visitor to certain actions.
For instance,
certain shades of green portray a soothing
feeling while red jumps out at you and makes
you want to take action. Use bold colors
sparingly.
The webmaster can also help you in regards to
the layout of the website, guiding the visitor
through the website by various links and
graphics. Also, realize that sometimes more
words are not more effective.
A visitor will
spend only a short amount of time viewing your
website unless you have effective headlines
and subtitles. If you have ideas you want to
use, let your webmaster know this before he
starts to make the "bones" of the website.
Another good thing to think about is the
buttons and what they will say. In other
words, how many do you really need to get your
website point across and what type of links
would you need created to accomplish that
point?
Changing text is
easier than changing buttons for a webmaster,
so try to have some idea what you want. Do not
start out thinking you will have a 5-8 page
website and then add six more buttons. This
can lead to six more pages and you can expect
a price increase on the website design.
Most webmasters
are pretty lenient, but do have to charge for
extra time and effort above the original price
quote.
If you have any graphics you want to use,
gather them up and have them available from
the beginning for the webmaster. He will also
have graphics that he will add to make the
website more interesting. You will want to
keep large graphics to a minimum. The
webmaster can resize them but note that
clarity and sharpness may be reduced.
Most good
webmasters can help tremendously in this realm
of making the images fit your pages if the
pictures you provide are clear and crisp.
If you have the music clips or audio clips
that you want to use, be prepared to provide
them for the webmaster. He will require music
clips in mp3 format most likely. He will also
check various browsers to make sure the clips
are good quality in all browser settings.
Provide the webmaster with all your contact
information and any comments he can use for
the "About Us" page. That would be items
relative to your business and awards you may
have won, goals of your company, little bits
of personal information about the partners or
owners, how long the business has been viable
or how long you have been in this sort of
business, how long online, things like that
help a visitor to know you better and feel
more comfortable doing business with you. That
should be the goal.
Templates have their place in the web design
process. Allow the webmaster to provide
choices and pick out two or three templates
that would work for you. Most good webmasters
like to use pure html, but some also will use
the Front Page format or Dreamweaver.
The only reason
for templates, in my mind, is to get more of
an idea what the customer wants his website to
look like. When the idea is presented by
several templates, then possibly designing a
website based on those ideas, is more
effective.
Do not count out a
webmaster that uses templates, but also, do
not count out a webmaster that takes template
ideas and redesigns them to fit your needs.
Either will work and makes perfect sense
depending on the time and effort that is going
to be involved in creation of your new
website.
Bottom line is consider your webmaster an
extension of your business. It will be up to
you to market your business, but having a good
website should be a collaboration of effort
between you and the webmaster.
Your website can
come alive with sound, graphics, and colors.
The clearer you can be on what you desire, the
more the webmaster has to work with and will
be able to satisfy you more thoroughly. Most
people are amazed at what webmasters can do
with just a few simple outlines of ideas!
Most webmasters want to make their customers
happy and will spend the time to work with you
to make sure your website is pleasing. Give
them the courtesy of being reasonable in your
desires and needs and the website creation
experience will be a positive situation for
everyone.

Everything Needed to Manage
Your Online Business in One Location!
PushButtonPublishing.com is THE "all in one
Internet marketing solution!"
You're given everything you need to make your
living online, from a *single* resource.
You get:
* Instant Access to an Exclusive Digital
Product Purchasing Service (...that's right,
at your request PBP purchases software and
ebooks that
YOU can turn around and sell as your own)
* Instant Access to Over $10,000 Worth of
Software and E-books with Full Resale Rights
* Premium Web Hosting, Enough Space for
*Many* Web-Sites, and Capable of Handling a TON
of Traffic
As a member of PBP™ you will have access to * a
top quality web hosting account offering:
* hosting for up to 6 primary domains &
unlimited sub domains
* a whopping 5 Gigs of space,
* 50,000 Megs of bandwidth/transfer --
everything you'll need to host dozens or even
hundreds of your own web-sites!
Do yourself a BIG favor: Don't fall for cheap,
free web hosting offers that suck you in, yet
leave you with NO choice but to upgrade to a
paid plan after you've quickly used up the tiny
amounts of space, and minuscule amount of
traffic that they allow.
* Unlimited PRO Autoresponders Each with
Unlimited Follow Ups and Full List Management
Features (compare to $19.95+ per month for this
service alone)
As a member of PBP, you'll also receive:
* A minimum of one sequential autoresponder
account.
Autoresponders perform two critical functions
for you...
First, they allow you to follow up with your
online visitors automatically. You can set your
autoresponder to send out follow up email
messages to people who visit your web-site.
Proper follow up is vital to your success, for
the reason that MOST people won't order during
their first visit to your web-site.
So your initial goal is to "capture" the name
and email address of your visitors so that you
can send them information about the benefits of
your offer. At the same time, you're building a
list of people (subscribers) that you can keep
in regular contact with, and send special offers
to.
In addition to sending these automated messages,
your autoresponder service will enable you to
"broadcast" additional messages out (such as the
bi-weekly or monthly articles you write for your
online newsletter) whenever you want.
As a member of PBP™ you now have unlimited
autoresponder accounts.
You could use one account for your main web-site
follow-up and your corresponding online
newsletter. And if you launch additional
products "on the side", you could use additional
autoresponder accounts as a means of individual,
"targeted" follow up for each product (and/or to
start additional newsletters).
* Professional Ad Tracking...This is a MUST
HAVE Tool that *Serious* Online Marketers Use to
Significantly Increase Their Profits
As a member of PBP™ you will have a professional
ad tracker that you can put to use to keep track
of ALL your online advertising...You can even
track the links on your web-site to see which
are getting clicked on the most!
This may not seem important, but oohhh it is!
Whether you're running free advertising, or paid
advertising, you HAVE to track the performance
of your ads...
Let's say you're running an ad in somebody's
online newsletter...Well how do you know if
you've gotten your money's worth without
tracking the performance of the ad?
Now, let's say for a given month you have five
ads scheduled to run in five different online
newsletters...Wouldn't it be "nice" to know
which ad performed the best, so that you can
advertise in that same resource again?
And wouldn't it be nice to know which, if any,
of those ads performed poorly so you can ditch
the corresponding newsletter like a bad habit -
and spend your advertising dollars where they
count!
The bottom line is that you should be tracking
ALL your online advertising efforts, so that
you're not just stumbling around blindly
advertising in resources that "look" good on the
surface.
By NOT tracking your ads I absolutely guarantee
you're throwing your precious time AND money out
the window. You'd be just as well off taking a
percentage of your advertising budget and
throwing it in the fireplace!
* And MUCH more - literally.
I urge you to visit PBP's web-site right away to
feast your eyes upon the full list of products,
services, and resources
offered:
I'm telling you, if you're SICK of information
overload, and TIRED of going through a *dozen*
different services to start or run your online
business, this is your all-in-one solution!
Perhaps the best part of all is, you can get
everything offered for "free" by
participating in PBP's generous referral plan!
...The cost of your entire online business is
literally PAID FOR by referring just three other
monthly members!
Now, here's a taste of what members of PBP are

It is certainly better than most sites I have looked

they give away a book that's better than most books
I have spent good money on recently.

Designing a Good Navigation System for Your
Website
By: Tim Gilligan
a/k/a/ "Skipper"
While you should
design your website to be aesthetically
pleasing, beautiful graphics and clever
little details are no substitute for a good
navigation system.
No matter how
great your website looks, it will be useless
if your visitor can't find their way around
your site.
Traditionally the navigation menu is placed
just below the header area or on the left
hand side of the web page. Usability studies
have shown that web site visitors
instinctively look in these areas first.
Wherever you decide to place your navigation
menu, remember that consistency is
important.
The most
important thing is to place your navigation
menu in the same spot on every one of your
web pages. If you use an image to represent
a navigational button, use the same image
and the same color for that image on each
page of your website.
For example, if
you use an image of a green house in the
left hand corner of your web page as your
"Home" navigational link, use the same green
house image in the left hand corner of every
one of your web pages to designate the
"Home" link.
Your visitor should be able to find what
they are looking for within 3 clicks of your
home page. This is usually not a problem for
small sites. However, if you have a large
site with many pages, you will need to
design a navigation menu that provides
access to all areas of your website without
getting your visitor lost or confused.
You may want to use a bread crumb trail type
of navigation system for large sites
(Homepage > Category > Subcategory >
Content).
Another option
is to use a dynamic menu that changes
according to the page your visitor is on,
but be aware that search engines may not be
able to spider sites using dynamic menus.
Usability studies have shown that a
navigation menu should contain no more than
8 links. The more choices a user is given,
the more difficult it will be for them to
make a decision.
Also, if you
have many links, your visitor may get the
impression that your site is complicated and
difficult to navigate.
If you have only a few links, use mouse
rollovers to visually enhance your website.
You will need to add some Javascript that
pre-loads the rollover images and then add "onMouseover"
events to your image links. Alternatively,
use CSS for text rollovers that change the
link color when the mouse cursor hovers over
a link.
Navigation links should be considered the
most important part of your website for two
reasons:
1) They are used by your visitor to find
content on your site.
2) They are used by search engines to spider
your site.
The reason users visit your site is to get
information. If visitors can't find the
information they are searching for, they
will click away, perhaps never to return
again.
While different search engines have
different rules on how they spider and rank
a site, basically a "bot" or "spider" will
visit a site, search for a "HREF" link and
follow the links to other pages, indexing
the pages as it goes along.
If the "bot" or
"spider" doesn't find a "HREF" tag on a
page, it is blocked from going any deeper
into the site. As you can see, you need to
design your navigational system so that a
search engine can spider all pages of your
website.
When designing your website, take the extra
time to design a good navigational system.
It is vital to your success!
