Negotiation, Integrity and Trickery
In any negotiation it is important to establish a sense of integrity so that the other party knows that they can trust you with whatever negotiation is rendered. All too often people who were involved in negotiation are untrustworthy and use trickery early on in order to get concessions from the other party.In team negotiations often the trickery and the meanness is used and then a nice guy is brought in later to close the deal. It is the basic good guy bad guy routine. Nevertheless, a seasoned veteran in negotiation will see these signs of game playing and trickery early on and establ

component (May 2007) called sh404SEF, if you search on the Joomla extensions website you will find this one. I believe it to be strongly based on JoomSEF; in both look, feel and functionality I have noticed this. Another SEF friendly component for Joomla is OpenSEF. When it was release about a year ago it was great. Since that time there have been no updates and the project has lagged way behind. Having said that it still does a reasonable job of conve

Barter - An Introduction to the Oldest Marketing Tool for Business
When you hear the word 'Barter' do you instinctively think of two farmers trading a horse for a cow, or the likes of latter-day trappers carrying furs to a trading post to exchange them for food and provisions, or like millions of savvy business owners around the globe, do you think of a high-tech way of marketing your goods and services beyond your usual scope, and becoming more efficient in the process?It's strange that during my entire business education at university (and I was fortunate enough to be educated in some of the best business establishments in London, Munich and Florence)

This article focuses on the first few steps in the Web Development and Design of a decent search optimized website in Joomla. Okay lets get into it. Once I have setup the standard Joomla installation there are a few component types that are mandatory to install and I believe these to be:- a sitemap component and a SEF URL changing component. These are by far the most important components to have on any Joomla Installation.

What is a SEF URL changing component and how does it relate to Web Design in Joomla? SEF stands for Search Engine Friendly and a normal installation of Joomla has a URL like this: index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5&Itemid=6

When it comes to search engines they are really smart in many ways but the normal Joomla URL describes nothing about the web page and its contents and so they really do dislike it in many ways. It is what I call, Search Optimization Stunted (SOS). I like this term because it describes exactly what it needs; some help! This is where a SEF URL changing component comes into play. These types of components take the normal Joomla URL and change it into something more meaningful to both us and the search engines. eg: buy-blue-widgets-here.html

From my Web Design & Development experience this is the single most important component installation you can make on a Joomla Website. I want to detail my personal best picks. There are a few available to us but I believe the JoomSEF component to be the best of the best when it comes to Search Engine Friendly URL's. There is only one drawback to choosing this component and that is a hidden advert in the code from the original makers. If you search on google for "joomsef patched" you should be able to find a decent enough version of this component. Looking at the "best of the rest" of the SEF components we find a new component (May 2007) called sh404SEF, if you search on the Joomla extensions website you will find this one. I believe it to be strongly based on JoomSEF; in both look, feel and functionality I have noticed this. Another SEF friendly component for Joomla is OpenSEF.

How To Use PR To Build Your Business
Everyone knows the value of free publicity. And given the opportunity, most businesses would jump at the chance to have a news article written about them, or to be covered by TV and radio stations.But the chances of those stories coming to you on their own are very slim. That’s why smart businesses go out of their way to create news, and bring free publicity to them. And it takes a lot more than just your run-of-the-mill press release.In fact, blanketing every available news organization with generic releases will do you more harm than good. Do it too often, and your releases will

It's Time For Plan B - Brainstorming!
Our workgroup was in the middle of a spirited brainstorming session — a free form session where creativity is encouraged, judgment is suspended, and the best ideas often come after ten or more minutes. The ideas were flying fast and furious, as they should, when the group gets momentum. The energy was intoxicating. And, in a fit of inspiration, I one employee suggested, "Why don't we reverse the order of the deliverables!?" While nine other people energetically accepted this offer as worthy of inclusion on their flip chart of ideas, their manager scowled "That will never work!"

al best picks. There are a few available to us but I believe the JoomSEF component to be the best of the best when it comes to Search Engine Friendly URL's. There is only one drawback to choosing this component and that is a hidden advert in the code from the original makers.

Which ever one you choose, download the component and then using the Joomla Administration interface install the component. Then go to Site->Global Configuration->SEO (tab) and ensure "Search Engine Friendly URL's" is set to yes. Ensure your htaccess.txt file in the root directory of the Joomla installation is changed to .htaccess and follow the directives in the file in how to turn on "mod_rewrite" - this is straight forward. Then just go to the JoomSEF component and configuration and turn it on. Once this is done you should be generating friendly URL's on the front end interface so you should go and check. It's as easy as that!!

Okay so lets move on to what I consider the next most important thing to do to your Joomla installation once the SEF component is installed and working a Sitemap.

In my opinion there is really only one legitimate and decent sitemap component and it is called Joomap. The standard version of this component does not output decent XML files so there are some patched versions available for download on the Internet that greatly alter the XML output. If you search for "joomap patched" on google you should be able to find a decent version. The installation of this component is the same as before, through the Joomla Administration interface. With no other config after installation we can just go straight to the component and select it. Now we just choose the menu's we want to include in our sitemap. Generally these are main menu and top menu. Now we just create a new menu item and select the component to link to it, being Joomap and the rest takes care of itself. Easy!!

One other advantage of Joomap is that it allows you to hook in to Google Sitemaps. On the admin interface these is a Google Sitemap URL given. All

If you feel like you are in a dead-end job, or that your career is headed nowhere, then you need to focus on your career goal setting! Just like you make resolutions for New Years, you should make resolutions for your career too! To get the ball rolling, set yourself some short-term goals and then set out to achieve them.

As evidenced by the results of the merger mania of the 90s, many industry experts believe, as was the case in the previous decade, that as many as 80% of acquisitions do not succeed, resulting in billions of dollars invested in failure. Because the majority of acquisitions do not meet the original goals and objectives of the acquirers or other conditions change, some 40% of all businesses acquired will again be sold off within three to five years, according to available statistics.
