10 Best Facebook Pages of All Time About shoes restoration
Everyday we hear that another company goes out of business.
When and why does a dot-com become a dot-bomb?
After checking few dozen defunct companies, I think the main reasons for dot-coms failure are:
I'll focus my comments on the last reason:
How Errors in the Web Site Can Affect the Company's Health
It's clear that you can make money on the Web if you have customers. You have customers if you have viewers- "traffic" in the geek's language. And you get traffic if your site is easy to find -- near the top -- in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). That's not so easy to achieve.
First of all your site has to be indexed by the search tools: Search Engines and Web Directories.
Although some Search Engines will eventually find your site by themselves, most of the time this only happens if somebody links to your site. In the case of a NEW site, having existing links is almost impossible. Rather than wait for links to be made, start a submission campaign.
A big no-no is submitting a Web site using submission software. Using software of this type may be quick and easy, but some Web Directories and Search Engines do NOT accept automated submissions.
It's true that manual submission is a time consuming process -- you'll have to read AND follow each Search Engines' submission guidelines, to effectively perform the submission – but it's a necessary step.
Most of the defunct sites I've checked had only a modest presence and visibility in the Search Engines.
Let's say that you submitted your site correctly, you waited a reasonable amount of time - usually few weeks – for the Search Engines to process your submission, but your site does not appear near the top in the Search Engine Results Pages.
You're wondering why, right? Well, one or more of the following reasons might apply:
1) Your submission was not accepted by the Search Engines. If you used spamming techniques, such as:

Some Search Engines also have difficulty in indexing pages that use frames or Flash.
2) Your submission was accepted, but your site is not listed in the Top 10-30. Because very few people check pages after the first 30 results, you want to be in the Top 10-30. There are many reasons why a site is not listed high.
The most common reasons are:
A Web site with HTML errors can look fine in Explorer, strange in Netscape or Opera and totally unreadable in a text browser. Although Explorer has the largest market share, an important percentage of net surfers use other browsers. Don't forget the more than 50 million people in the USA with disabilities. Many of the latter use text/voice browsers.
Other Types of Errors in Web Sites
Proper HTML coding is very important but the structure and the layout of the pages are equally important. I saw sites without ANY way to contact the company: no email address, no "contact page". I saw sites so crowded that it was almost impossible to find my way around. I saw sites with ugly color schemes. I saw a site so "heavy" that it took nearly three minutes to download the Home Page.
According to statistics, users have very limited patience when it comes to loading a page. If after eight seconds they cannot see the page, they leave. And we all know what that means or the success of a Web site.
I not only saw all those errors in sites that are now gone but I also found them in sites that are still alive, including, incredibly, some Fortune 500 companies' Web sites.
So Do We Dot-Com or Not?
The answer is a resounding YES! But with one condition, learn from your predecessors.
How can a dot-com become profitable? I don't pretend to know ALL the answers. If I did, I would be millionaire by now.

Also, use the Title tag, the Keyword and Description meta tags in your HTML coding to list targeted keywords from the contents of your pages. This helps the Search Engines rank your site higher.
So, let's see: do we dot-com or not? You bet we do! There are tremendous opportunities on the Internet. Find your niche, follow the rules, work hard and you'll make it.
It will not be easy but if you believe in your dream and set realistic expectations, you'll be successful.
Good luck!
Forget about the clubs. If you are looking for sex and don't want to have to waste time go online. You can cut right to the chase. This will save you time and let you get to the bedroom a lot quicker.
The problem with going online is that there are so many websites. Social sites like Myspace are not good for meeting people that you want to hook up with for sex. Most people are on their just to meet friends. There is nothing wrong with that., but if you are looking for sex, it will waste your time.
There are two sites that I have found to be really good if you are looking for sex.
The first one is Passion. It is on the racy side, but not porno. You should be able to find someone here that you can really hook up with. I always like to try before I buy. The interface is good and it is easy to get in contact with people. It is also reasonably priced.
The one thing that I am not too crazy about it that it can take a few minutes to set up. However once you get your page set up, the offers start rolling in for you.
The next one is Onlinebootycall. It is as good as it sounds. No pretending. No lying. It is like Burger King. You can have it your way. The interface is easy to use. The IM loads very quickly. You will get a lot of attention on this site. The whole idea is that these women are looking for sex. You can just pick and choose. This one is priced even lower than Passion so that makes it really attractive.
The main thing I don't like about this site is that it is hard to tell the age of some of the people. However with the number of hits that you will be receiving you will be able to sort through them pretty easily.
Stop wasting time and start meeting women. Don't try to turn a good girl bad, just meet a freak and take it from there. When you are tired, bored and frustrated with the other dry cleaning sites come to these two. They will certainly get you the sex that you want.When everyone feels they have perfected their new software by implementing what they have learned into their businesses, but soon realizes
