		<description><![CDATA[<br/>The silly season of 2008 is now behind us (thank God), however I wanted to share with you my observations as I went about my shopping with the throngs while paying particular attention to the marketing strategies being used amongst the retailers to win business, and how that can translate to online marketing.

		<description><![CDATA[<br/>If you are looking to vastly increase your list quickly then a joint venture (JV) may well be the key you need. In its simplest form, in a JV you supply the product and a fellow marketer supplies the leads and you share the profits. Hopefully, you will then get the emails of your fellow marketer’s customers, so you can then mail them with further offers.]]></description>

Achieving good search engine visibility has become a necessity for every website today. Sometimes you can feel disconnected and separated from the rest of the world and disenfranchised a bit when you havegone to a lot of time and effort to create a product, get a website (or create it yourself), only to find that the traffic just  isn't happening.

Submitting your site to a directory, or ensuring the major search engines have your site indexed is akin to putting a "now open" sign outside the front door of a shop.

Taking this analogy further, if you had a brick and mortar shop in some dark back ally without a sign to let customers know where you were, then you would have to expect not to do good business.]]></description>
