Atricle Dump - Would You Let A Dog Or A Butler Market Your Website?
The idea of owning a franchise is, for some people, the ticket out of the rat race and into a world of financial independence and being their own bosses. For others, the idea of owning a franchise means risking not only a regular paycheck, but having to put up their own money and then agree to run the business according to someone else’s guidelines.Both Sides Somewhere in between th

Anyone that tells you that starting a business online using the niche marketing strategy is a sure way to succeed right away is lying. Niche marketing is the greatest way to make money online but you need do some hard work to get it right and create a niche business to make you a lot of profits. And that is what I want to show you on the following 3 simple steps of market research:
Search engine optimisation (or SEO) is any practice related to the end goal of improving your website’s positioning in the search engines.
The brief history of SEO is that it first started out solely as the remit of the developers themselves. This was back in the day when one person designed, built, maintained, hosted and marketed a website.
The Ever-Changing Internet Landscape
During the past few years, however, the entire Internet industry has divided up into a myriad divisions to such an extent that SEO is now a booming sector in its own right. Entering the term "seo" on Google returns nearly 20 million results!
Now businesses recognise that it is no longer possible to expect one individual or company to possess all the necessary skills ‘under one roof’ to be able to achieve great results on the graphic design, technical construction AND marketing of their website.
This has led to the trend of bringing in specialist search engine marketing consultants or companies to assist.
As Google and the like are spending millions every year on developing their tools to accurately sift through the billions of web pages that exist it really is a full time occupation just keeping track of what has an effect on search engine ranking and which strategies work best.
Everyone Wants 'Organic' Nowadays!
Ask Jeeves and Lycos are now offering their SEO service to help companies get found in the ‘organic’ results of search engines.
‘Organic’ results are those results in a search engine listing that are non-paid. Almost all search engines now offer businesses the shortcut of simply paying to get an ad listed whereas as a latest study indicates that only 28% of searchers will click on an advertisement as opposed to one of the ‘organic’ results (on Google).

What do Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey and Robin Williams have in common? These successful icons never present a watered down version of themselves to the world. So why then do most professionals play it safe and hide their creativity, quirkiness, spirit, spark and passion?If you are presenting a "diluted" version of yourself to the world, you are literally suffocating your business.

Money Well Spent?
In short - I’m not sure.
If you have a 50 page website, getting Lycos to provide you with SEO services will cost you a tidy $10,000. They also include the questionable tactic of re-submitting your website over and over to search engines which is both pointless and risky as some will act against those that submit more than once.
$10,000 sounds like a lot to me for a service that is only dealing with search engines and which talks of ‘recommendations’ that you then have to implement yourself.
Really though - it comes down to what you are trying to achieve with your website.
My two cents on this is that the Lycos service doesn’t devote enough attention to links - your money may be better spent on getting more high quality in-bound links or on a well-managed Pay Per Click Campaign.
