For years, internet marketers and online retailers have had limited choices when it comes to choosing the right SEO Shopping Cart. In fact, the idea that search engine optimization (SEO) of one’s shopping cart probably doesn’t enter most people’s minds as they set up their web sites.

AscenderCart Is Different

The best way to tell if AscenderCart is a good choice for you and your business would be to take a good look at their Shopping Cart Features. By doing so, you will be able to see the rich amount of search engine optimization features that set this MUST HAVE shopping cart system apart from the others.

AscenderCart Training

Another feature that sets this service apart from its competition is they provide a FREE SEO Training Manual for every user. You’ll quickly learn the ins and outs on how to:

o Customize keywords, image alt tags, page titles, anchor text, and headers (to name just a few)

o Help your potential buyer find, and keep track of, items of interest they wish to purchase

o Avoid the accidental duplication of content, setup sitemaps, and so much more.

Sorry to disappoint, but no I’m not talking about cosmetic surgery or any new cream to make you LOOK younger, I actually found a way that “legally” makes you younger!

All you need to do is use the Ethiopian Calendar!

You may be pleasantly surprised to find out that, using their calendar, you are actually seven (7), yes seven (7) years younger than the Gregorian style calendar that we currently use.

In fact, many types of calendars are much more accurate than the one most of us “think” is the one and only.

Check the link above and convert the Gregorian version to over a dozen different choices. And, keeping a positive attitude, especially nowadays, and saying to yourself, “I’m actually 7 years younger!” is a big boost to anyone’s spirit

And, here’s yet another spot to read all about the Ethiopian Calendar in greater detail.

BTW, I have decided to embrace this “new way” of looking at my life because when I subtract the 7 years it feels much more accurate to me… I kid you not

Have fun!

We often concentrate hardest on what to do online with regard to marketing and advertising online. Marketing programs, products, and services is an art form, not to be undertaken lightly. Serious consideration to how you are going to go about achieving your objective – traffic, new clients, new sign ups, etc., – is critical to your success.

However, how many of us seriously take the time to investigate contacting those not online on a regular basis? Believe it or not for all us cyberspace crazies, people do enjoy getting special messages yes by snail mail! There are those (and yes I count myself among them) who joyfully go to their mailboxes each day in the hopes of letters from friends and family and even interesting internet offers.

So the question is… When was the last time you researched offline advertising to add to your online mix?

Well not only is today a holiday in many parts of the world (particularly the U.S. I’d imagine), but it’s also your lucky day

Vistaprint is offering great specials for those looking for offline ways of connecting with potential and existing customers. Vistaprint postcards come in a variety of sizes and colors and layouts. You can even design your very own (or for those graphically challenged they have plenty of choices ready-made for you).

Browsing their ready-made postcards is a breeze. They actually give you the option to select one from the “board” so to speak or search by keyword, industry, style, or purpose.

Or, of course, if you are logo and word-ready, customize your own.

The one thing we do know personally about Vistaprint (we have used Vistaprint in the past for our business cards) is that your order arrives exactly the way you ordered it, and in a timely fashion. And, it goes without saying, that their prices are very affordable for just about any entrepreneur, business, or home business marketer.

My suggestion this Spring and on into the year is to supplement how you market online with branching out to reach those offline.

Yes postcard campaigns can get expensive, but I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with your visit to Vistaprint’s postcard possibilities.

And Happy Easter!

I’ll be the first to admit it, when it comes to graphics I absolutely… am horrible. Being extremely partial to the written word, my banners and buttons tend to be more than a tad amateurish.

However, today while stumbling through Stumbleupon, I came across the most amazing list of font types sure to please anyone during their creation process. (more…)
