Author's Comments

This week has been very busy at work. Lots going on. I am glad it is the weekend.

It was an active week with the Internet business too. Tim Knox’s book launch, finishing up the final revision of “How to Choose The Best Web Host for YOUR Website”, working on the websites, etc.

Q & A, Suggestions and Comments

I had an interesting email exchange with Art Bedard. He wrote that he had been trying to identify SBI as a scam, but he could not. I never thought that anyone would consider SBI a scam, but his email opened my eyes that everything on the Net is under suspicion of being a scam.

With his permission, here is our exchange.

John,

Yes, I have been reading your work and have been
impressed with your integrity. We all are 'pitched'
hundreds of times a day, therefore the relationship
factor that yourself and SBI project is key to the
fulfillment of any sale.

You have my permission to publish my comments,

Best,
Art Bedard

News Flash - Tim Knox is a best selling author

I sent you an email this morning about the launch of Tim’s new book. The launch has been very successful.

Tim is now the #1 in the "Business & Investing" category which is a major book category on Amazon.

This is the link to the Amazon page that lists the top selling books.

You will see an explanation on the book purchase page how to get the bonuses after purchasing the book.

Another Discovery About SBI

SBI never ceases to amaze me. It has so much in it that I continue to discover more and more.

More about my discovery at

http://www.boomer-ezine.com/V2I11_062207.htm#DISCOVERY

SBI Summer Sale

Ken Evoy, inventor of Site Build It, is a master promoter. He holds sales a few times each year and right now he is holding a Summer Sale. He never discounts the price of SBI on a single sale, but he sells packages of SBI sites for an attractive price.

He started the Summer Sale as the “Summer Sandals Sale”. It was so popular that he has extended it to July 6 and calls it “Independence Day Sale”. We Americans will say that July 6 is not Independence Day. Why did Ken name it that? It is SBI Independence Day! Our friends north of the border celebrate Canadian Independence Day on July 1, in the U.S. we celebrate July 4, and world wide, we will celebrate July 6 as SBI Independence Day.

Why have an SBI Independence Day? To celebrate independence from what ever has held us back in moving forward in our quest for an online business.

The terms of the sale are buy one SBI at $299 USD and get the second one for an additional $100 USD. $399 for two sites = $199.50 each.

Google Alerts – Continued

Last week, we wrote an article about Google Alerts.

I decided to try an experiment to see how quickly Google would notify me of the use of “retirement jobs” in an alert.

You will be amazed as I was how quickly Google alerted me about this experiment.

Add Bookmark and RSS Feed Buttons to your Website

Part of Web 2.0 is social bookmarking. There are tools that make this easy for your reader to do. Let’s face it, we all like to do it the easy way. If you put tools that make it easy for your reader to bookmark your page, you will get more bookmarks. More bookmarks mean more traffic.

That wraps up our issue for this week. Until next week, stay tuned.
