I’m not sure why Kontera agreed to this partnership, but something tells me it has to do with Amazon new Content links ads service recently launched. Until now, Kontera was not available to low traffic sites.

What Is A Best Practice?
Published by Chris | Filed under Small Business | March 27th, 2007
In my opinion a best practice is the process of finding and implementing ideas and strategies for outside you company and industry to improve performance in any given area. For decades big business have used best practice benchmarking and realized billions in saving and revenues. Small business can reap even greater rewards from best practices. So what are the benefits of best practices for small Business?
Reduce Cost
As you know small companies often don’t have deep pockets like the larger business to re-invent the wheel. By learning and studying what other companies have successfully accomplish, small companies can save money without spending much needed capital on developing new ideas.
Avoid Mistakes
Many times small business owners try to re-solve business problems on their own, which eventually result in costly errors. That’s why it’s important to learn what others have done,which can keep you business afloat.
Find New Ideas
Adopting the “stagnant� attitude toward you business can end up a disaster. Be open minded on how you can create opportunities to grow your small business. Remember you bear the all risks
Improve Performance
When your business looks and to promote the best practices, then you’ve raise the bar of performance and set new standards which will carry your small company forward. Wonderful things will happen.
Third-Party Advertising
Published by Chris | Filed under Small Business | March 25th, 2007
Most small business advertisers prefer to buy advertising through a 3rd party network like Google. Besides a limited marketing budget, advertisers with small business just don’t like to deal directly with a blog is because it take too much time. By using Google Adwords or another network (like Text-link-Ads), advertisers can easily browse for a ton of sites and blogs that promotes their Small Business culture, and with a few clicks, can begin advertising.
Too many times, an advertiser ends up spending more on traditional print or television advertising. For example, Congos spent $200.00 per month for a Business Intelligence link. Had they done some research, they would get it for a fraction of the price at “Make Money Online” with John Chow dot com.
So, what 3rd party advertising could small businesses use? Well, there is no one 3rd party advertising network that’s is best suited for all business type, advertisers will have to find the one which best suits their business budget and theme.
