I think your point about promoting other businesses in even more effective than what one may think. It seems every time we promote a restaurant on our food blog, they promote us back, and traffic goes through the roof. Goes to show, good will in business will come back tenfold.

hi Chris,
great!i like the #1 i should have one too for my site.

i like this too… “Most of the time, people pay for designs, and say thanks, and then the obsolessence process begins: the site is getting more and more obsolete each day. The $2,000 you spend on a website starts losing value as soon as it’s live because it’s stuck with that set of functionality, tools and services.”

you know website better than i do, maybe i should hire you to help me.

Predictable, helpful, not time wasting and all the media harnessed in one spot. Your real estate buyers, on line surfer is not using a Commodore 64 and 26.6 K country dial up anymore. Give them what they want. Or someone else will. Video is huge, easy, quick and uses the eyes and the ears. Two senses are better than one and audio for a video is 40% of the user experience. Was it good for you?

Joann-

I listed video as #1 because, even though it’s mostly crap, it sells. I don’t give a crap about what looks good or feeds someone’s ego, I care only about getting small businesses to actually sell stuff.

…So anyway.

That’s why I did it tat way.
