Do you like contests and sweepstakes where you can win lots of money? I know I like to enter everything under the sun, that I can enter for free and have the chance to win a lot of money. I know Publishers Clearing House is one of the leaders in the sweepstakes area, but I just wonder how much of a chance I have to win. It’s so popular, so you know a lot of people enter it each year. I would guess that about 80 or 90 percent of all U.S. households get their letters in their mailboxes. I assume a huge portion of those households send them back in and try to win all that money they are giving away.

Now the contest says you don’t have to purchase anything to win. I always wondered just how much of that is true. They send out information for people to get subscriptions from magazines. It is interesting now that you can get free magazines by mail over the internet yet you may not have that golden chance to be entered into the drawing. Unlike some of these sweepstakes offers where I think most of these are free and you will get some free magazines, but if you don’t cancel your subscription, they continue to ship you these magazines and you’re left paying for them. I never get the magazines, but I have filled out a bunch of those entries for Publishers Clearing House. So far they haven’t come to my front door with the TV crew, to give me all that money they are giving away. I guess I will continue to send back my entries, but I think I would have better luck in the lottery and the chances there are not that great either.

We just had the unfortunate luck of having to reconfigure our servers that host some of our blogs and websites. We were asked to download some SQL files to our hard drive and the reload them back to the main server. Luckily for us they were able to remotely dial into our PC’s and help us with the configuration without having to send in a tech guy which might have taken hours or even days.

We have been hearing about current radio stations offering broadcasts in High definition, and this will also allow more channels and better quality. This traditional radios attempt to combat the move to satellite radio by consumers. So now we will be asked to invest in new stereo systems, and car radios to benefit from these digital signals. To find some great information on the new Digital Radio and the equipment you will need you check it out at Radio Guide.

The new radios are being called Digital Audio Broadcasting or DAB. These new radios are able to receive the new digital signals that will be sent from radio stations. They will offer better sound quality, easier to find stations, and more stations. You will see an expansion in niche radio programming similar to what is offered in satellite radio. If this catches on, satellite providers such as Sirius may regret the $500 million investment they made for the “King of All Media” Howard Stern. The same rules of the FCC will still apply so those looking for the unedited radio of Stern or the O & A show, will still need to subscribe to their satellite radios. For the majority of Americans, they will probably wait for the equipment to come down, and more competitors come into the marketplace to increase competition.

Shoppers are being targeted more and more these days based on the geographic location and type of internet connection they are using. So if you are a male from the north using a high speed internet connection, you may receive a 10% discount offer when visiting Amazon.com, versus a shopper from the north receiving a $5 off coupon when it is detected they are using regular dial up. Advertisers are tailoring their home pages based on how the user got to their site. So if you search for discount DVDs and get to Amazon you may get a free shipping offer, versus finding DVD™s on Amazon by using the term HD DVD.

This type of targeting has been around for a while, but has been gaining more use as retailers are trying to tailor their offerings to the customers that are visiting their sites. You may find different discounts that are available depending on the time of day, and how you reached the site. For instance, going to the jewelry site ice.com, users who entered the URL directly into their browser may not be awarded any special discount, whereas those that came from a search engine may receive a free shipping offer. This is in part due to the fact these companies are trying to get customers to the site, and if assumed you are already a customer you may not be enticed with free shipping since you have already found the site. Brought to you by Top Directories where you can see and be seen.

How would you like to be able to greet your customers with a personalized greeting when they reach your sites? How about something like ” Thanks for visiting MyBlog, how is the weather in New York” With a tool that is free and that has been around for a while, you can. The site is called ip2map.com. They base the language on the IP address that the user is coming from, and with some simple code that you can place on your website, you can customize the greeting to almost anything. You can also have it map where your traffic is coming from and display that graphically as seen here.

There are a many sites that offer free link popularity checks for your URL. Why is it so important to have sites that link into you? Google and other search engines appear to be placing more value on links that are coming into a site, than they used too. It used to be that optimizing keywords and enhancing your meta tags would help. While the keywords and their placement is still critical I have seen articles that meta tags may not hold that much weight. Remember though that you want to be linked too quality sites, so if you are linking to sites that have been blacklisted by Google and other search engines, you will only hurt your chances of getting ranked higher in search engines for your keywords and topics.

There is a great commercial here in the states that is about competing broadband providers. It shows a husband and wife that are turtles and they are shown complaining that there internet is too fast. So the wife asks the husband to push the computer away from the house to reduce the speed of their internet connection. They are trying to make the case that cable internet is better and faster than DSL. This is true in  my opinion and you can certainly tell in videos and other heavy graphics. More and more companies are placing video and other flash animation in their sites to attract and retain more customers. The days of surfing the internet for just information are gone and it is now an entertainment vehicle.
The competition here in the US is starting to pick up but over across the pond broadband internet has been around much longer and therefore has become much cheaper than here in the states. There are companies where you can compare broadband providers to help you choose the right plan and company to fit your needs. As more people upgrade their laptops and PCs they are going to want their internet to keep up with the high speed processors. This is something that dial up cannot offer and broadband is offering more features like video on demand.

I recently went down to our local AT&T store to check out the new iPhone that has been in the news. After playing with the device I was sure that this was my next phone. I am not usually one to jump on the technology that has been just released but I must say the features and ease of use of this phone is incredible. My other question was since this is supposed to be internet friendly and we are able to watch YouTube videos how much extra were the services going to be. Luckily they have thought this part through and the iPhone has it’s own plans with unlimited web and email. The plans are comparable to their standard plans with just a few less minutes. But with their roll over minutes and the fact that everyone who I call that is on the AT&T network don’t count towards my minutes this make for a great buy.

A new search engine called Search Big Daddy, has launched within the last month, where they award their users in PPC credits to do searches. You can use their search engine and then earn credits to purchase various keyword searches for your own website. We originally posted about this back in the fall of 2006 and the splash was not as big as we thought. They are trying to compete with the likes of Yahoo and Google.
