Dear Friend:
Imagine yourself one year from today. Armed with my tested and proven internet marketing strategies the same ones that many Fortune 1000 corporations paid me $1,280 per hour to learn — you too have won links from hundreds of high-traffic web sites, you’re making a fortune in advertising revenue, and perhaps you’ve even launched an affiliate program (with none of the usual headaches)!
Your orders are coming in automatically. Your products are shipped automatically. Your customers’ credit cards are processed online in real-time. And their money is deposited to your bank account automatically.
Wired has a profile today of Rafat Ali, publisher of PaidContent.org, who says he's on target to make $60-80,000 this year off ads from his self-published site. That's a far cry from the self-made millionaire Matt Drudge, who has the Washington elite hanging on his every headline. Drudge hints that he made more than a million dollars last year off more than a billion page views to his Drudge Report, in a fascinating interview published a few weeks ago in Radar. (That financial claim seem an exaggeration? Consider that with a billion page views, it would only take $1 CPM to make a million bucks.)

Euro forces women onto the Web
June's football caused women to switch off their TV sets and go and do something more Webby instead
"These large increases in the number of female Internet users were mirrored in other European countries", according to NetValue marketing manager Jannie Cahill. In France, the eventual winners of the cup, the number of women who accessed the Internet in June rose by 20 percent to 2.2 million compared with May.
And while marketers figure out how to get more spendthrift individuals online, the trail of women's online clicks suggests definite and predictable patterns of use. Streetsonline.co.uk, the most popular e-commerce site visited by 16.7 percent of UK Internet users, attracted 18.6 percent of all women surfers, and nearly 60 percent of Lastminute.com's visitors were female. Expedia.co.uk, nwolb.co.uk (the Natwest online banking site) and tesco.co.uk also proved popular.
In contrast, Jungle.com attracted very few female visitors, and should thank the boys for its position as the fifth most visited e-commerce site, behind Streetsonline, Amazon.co.uk, Egg.com and Amazon.com.
Napster.com was the 42nd most popular e-commerce Web site, up 60 percent with 508,270 unique UK visitors compared with 300,000 in May.

Marketing is the bullshit of business and Web marketing has more than its full quota of bovine odure.
From a marketing point of view, the Internet is just another internet marketing device as is putting an advertisement on the back of a bus, but if used properly it can be a very cost-effective means of marketing your product.
Designing your web site is the easy bit. If you want hits on your site, you have to market it.
This is a real headache. Getting people to come to your site is a real challenge, encouraging them to stay is even harder but the real trick is making them return - repeatedly if possible!

Who knows more than current home business owners about home business opportunities?
According to Dave Winer's post on Scripting News, John Robb, formerly President and CEO, has left Userland. Apparently, the news was supposed to be a secret but then John blogged it on his blog as bloggers will do, the word was out. The kicker? John's blog has gone missing. All you get is 404 and empty file directory pages. Seems Dave didn't want us to read the real story. Unless I'm missing something, John got seriously censored.
