Add You - Where in the World Is...?
Great leaders surround themselves with great and skillful people. Jim Collins, author of Good to Great, and his team researched what it takes for organizations to achieve greatness. He identified great companies and found that they all had the same kind of leadership. These leaders were usually humble, yet passionate about the business they w

While surfing the 'net, I came across a report about the reduction of identity theft and identity fraud. Obviously, it caught my attention. Following, in part, is that report which was produced by Javelin Strategy & Research, and co-sponsored by CheckFree Corporation, Visa Card, and Wells Fargo & Co.While identity theft remains a multi
Geo-targeting means gearing ad content to a specific geographic market. Advertisers can identify on-line shoppers by IP address, postal code or area code; when the shopper visits the advertiser’s site, he will see an ad that literally hits him where he lives. Several geo-targeting approaches are available:
Advertising on Web sites with localized content, such as on-line newspapers, yellow pages and entertainment guides; Advertising on sites such as Yahoo!®, where user registration includes geographic markers; Using third-party advertising services such as DoubleClick; and Advertising on sites with geographically specific content, such as MapQuest® and The Weather Channel.
Creating ads in local languages, while important, is only one aspect of geo-targeting. International companies geo-target by adjusting prices to compensate for currency exchange rates. They also display order and response forms in local currencies to make them better understood and more effective. Subtle changes in ad design can make a big difference as well; for example, when targeting Canadians, far higher response and conversion rates occur when a small red maple leaf appears in the ad.

Strong leaders understand that to successfully lead others they must first be able to successfully lead their own lives. Being the leader of your life takes the following: self-awareness, humility, maturity, self-confidence, and objectivity. It also takes the ability to receive criticism from others and accept that you may not always be ri

We’ve all been there, last minute meeting and no meeting space, new project and no desks for the team… finding extra office space is a nightmare. There are endless business centres to turn to, and what should be a simple job ends up taking day after day of your valuable time. That’s where using an office finding service can help.Simila

Even with the best of intentions, you still may have overlooked the obvious. Suppose you spent hours on a good headline, took a pretty picture of your storefront and covered all the who, what, where, when, and why questions, did you still forget the most important reason you ran the ad in the first place? Of course you want customers, but whi
Even within the U.S. market, geo-targeting grows in importance. Studies indicate that most shoppers—even on-line shoppers—prefer to purchase within 10 miles of home. Thus, geographically sensitive businesses, such as real-estate developers, franchisers and car dealerships, can geo-target and reach an extremely receptive segment of potential customers.
Although geo-targeted ads are expensive compared to the one-size-fits-all variety, their increased effectiveness more than offsets the cost. With $5 billion expected to be spent on local on-line advertising by 2010, technology is gearing up. The newest version of IP addresses, Ipv6, will assign a unique identifier to every computer, making geo-targeting more accurate. Geo-targeting service providers are cropping up all over, and Internet powerhouses like Google™ AdWords™ and Yahoo!® Search Marketing already offer easy-to-use geo-targeting ads, tracking and analytics.
Companies should consider this new advertising strategy before the competition catches on and gets to the customers' door first.
