They discuss why a good niche in PPC is not necessarily a good niche for article marketing (and vice versa).

PayPal

They offer a downloadable software utility that is called PayPal Secure Card. The utility automatically detects when a customer visits an e-commerce checkout page, generates a unique MasterCard number, and then helps fill out the payment form. This is done through a partnership with credit card issuer MasterCard Inc.

“From a merchant’s perspective this looks like any other MasterCard transaction,” said Chris George, director of financial products for PayPal. “And it’s just another PayPal purchase to the customer.”

Secure Cards work on Windows computers running either Internet Explorer or Firefox. Users of Apple’s Safari browser have only partial access to the service for now, George said.

Secure Card has been tested by 3 million PayPal customers in the past year. Mark ‘Rizzn’ Hopkins, one of them, tells about his experience:

You install and set up the software, and on your taskbar, you have a little PayPal icon. When you want to generate a random credit card number, you double click on it. A little “virtual credit card” pops up on your screen, complete with randomly generated MasterCard numbers, expiration date, and CVV. All payments made with the information are directly and immediately made from your existing PayPal account

The form fill seems to work decently in Internet Explorer, but if you’re a Firefox user, don’t expect it to fill out any forms. It has a Firefox plug-in that seems to do little more than really slow down the browsing experience (and I recommend removing the plug-in as soon as you install the application). It is, however, handy to have, especially for folks like me with a debit card so well worn that the CVV numbers are no longer visible.

The plug-in will be available to U.S. customers on Tuesday, November 20, 2007, with international customers to follow.

When you publish a post with a title like this:

“What You Can Do Immediately For Higher Rankings”,

Wordpress automatically assigns a long filename to your post, called a post slug:

/what-you-can-do-immediately-for-higher-rankings

SEO Slugs plugin strips common words like “what”, “you” or “can” out of your post slug to make it more search engine friendly. With SEO Slugs plugin activated, the slug for our example blog post would look like this:

/immediately-higher-rankings

The slug is generated on saving a post (so you get a chance to look at it before publishing, and change it), or on publish. It won’t overwrite an existing slug. You can force a new slug generation by deleting the existing one.

Installation: Unzip the downloaded file, and save seo-slugs.php file to the plugins folder of your blog, usually /wp-content/plugins.

Activation: Log into your Wordpress Admin, go to Plugins, find SEO Slugs plugin and click Activate.

Now, when editing a post, give it a title and press Save and Continue Editing. The SEO Slugs plugin will generate a slug. If you edit it, the plugin will honor your slug and won’t change it.

The 2006 version of this course (see picture above) contained over 1300+ pages of the most up-to-date Internet marketing strategies and tactics. There were two 8″ x 11″ full-color three ring binders containing 9 steps, broken down into 70 lessons with step-by-step instructions included for every promotion and strategy.

And it also included five resource CDs and one audio CD, plus two DVDs with additional lessons, examples, audio interviews, and articles, as well as timesaving software and invaluable resource files.

Derek Gehl recently announced on his blog that the 2007 edition will be launched this week:

We’ve researched and tested ALL of the latest marketing strategies — so we could find out EXACTLY what’s working and what’s not.

We revisited our time-tested strategies to make sure they’re still as effective now as they used to be. We looked at all of the hottest new tools and techniques that have cropped up since last year.

And then we analyzed and tested them to find out exactly which ones were worth adopting — and which ones were “here today, gone tomorrow” strategies that didn’t deserve our attention.

When we were finally done, we poured the results into one comprehensive, 1,000-page, step-by-step package: our freshly updated and expanded “Insider Secrets” course.

This course will certainly help you dramatically improve the performance of your online business. Don’t miss the launch - I’m sure, they will provide some sort of discount or a special offer. Go to the course website, subscribe to their newsletter and keep your eyes on your inboxes!
