Over the last month I have had many people ask me, "What can be done to increase my traffic?"
People know what they like. If you walked past a restaurant where the menu said "spaghetti, meat, vegetarian option", it's pretty unlikely you'd go in. Why? Because you need details to be sold something. It's the same with househunting, a lot of people are starting their search for property on real … (15 comments)

Exactly this happened to me this week. I had gone with a website company, and it was understood there were no early cancellations, the deal was for a year, unless they turned out to be unable to perform.
If 2007 was the year I really became engaged by the blogosphere, then 2008 ranks as the year I began to understand the power of connectivity. And..No, they're not the same thing. Although, I must admit, I used to think they were.
