		<description><![CDATA[As is typical for me I&#8217;m a bit late posting about my plans for 2009. This really isn&#8217;t a post about my goals and certainly not one about lame resolutions. I&#8217;m still working through New Year&#8217;s resolutions from 1986. I think striving to make improvements in one&#8217;s life and overcoming obstacles and bad habits is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A regular and thoughtful commenter posted a question to me regarding my experience with the various PPC training courses I&#8217;ve purchased over the past year. All of these are big name courses and most were surrounded with a great deal of both hype and anticipation:

PPC Clasroom v1
PPC Classroom v2
Black  ink Project
Commission Blueprint

Now, I don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I tend to want everything when it comes to my online efforts. My first affiliate site was all about getting top rankings in Google for my list of keywords. I diligently checked off all the required steps (the ones touted at the the time).
In no particular order this included:

On-page SEO optimization
Lots of article marketing

		<description><![CDATA[The great W.C. Fields left the world many hilarious one-liners. His cynical view on life and stinging sarcasm was way ahead of his time and his influence can be seen in comedians as diverse as Don Rickles all the way through to Kathy Griffin today. Unfortunately, it appears that poor W.C. is all but forgotten [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The title of this post: &#8220;A Good Free HTML Editor&#8220;, has become an oxymoron by now. The old adage, &#8220;you get what you pay for&#8220;, really applies in this case. One of the best known free WYSIWYG HTML editors has been Nvu. I wrote a lament about Nvu a while back.

		<description><![CDATA[It seems a big IM launch doesn&#8217;t go by without the bold claim about how much the product is going to over deliver. The most common tactic is to tally up the individual value of all the  bonuses: &#8220;A Whopping $23,456.87 In Additional Bonuses!&#8221;
In reality, these bonuses are probably a collection of resell rights or [...]]]></description>

In case you&#8217;ve never heard of Roy Rogers (the restaurant, not the TV cowboy), they were once owned by the Marriott Corporation and were spun off from their Hot Shoppes Jr. failure. Most all Roys were eventually converted into McDonald&#8217;s. It [...]]]></description>

For the most part, when Google changes things within their applications, I usually find them to be for the better. Though I can&#8217;t always claim the same for changes they make to their [...]]]></description>

Of course, there&#8217;s the central drama of the Madison Avenue advertising firm, which anyone at all interested in sales and marketing should be fascinated by. Then there&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
