Ask Us A Question! 2008-04-10 07:23:00 Have a question about something to do with one of our books, another technical topic, something so embarrassingly geeky that only another tech-head would appreciate, or even just a business or general interest question? We are always happy to hear from people who visit our site and will do our best to address your question in a timely fashion.However, since we get tons of questions, we can't promise that we'll answer your question or that we'll even acknowledge it.

Widgetbucks? Can you really make money with Widgetbucks? 2008-04-10 06:58:00 As a faithful reader of your China Business Watch blog, I noticed a few days ago that you have added a new graphical element with the words"Widgetbucks" on the sidebar. Cool. What is it?China Business Watch's Answer:Truth be told, I'm pretty skeptical of new ad networks and was not initially inspired to add Widgetbucks.com to my site - partially since it's a kinda daft name, but mostly because I strongly believe that the net value of all advertising is inversely proportional to the quantity and overtness of the ads. Put another way, too many ads will kill ya!Nonetheless, my long-time friend Kevin Conn told me that he was doing pretty well with Widgetbucks.com, which he'd added to a few of his own sites, and I decided that, what the heck, I'd put some up and see what kind of results I attai

How to protect your on-line business 2008-04-12 02:03:00 Some readers ask us how to protect their on-line business. Well. this is a good question, yet a bit too broad.Simply speaking, if You're Doing Business Online, the Law Requires That You Have the Proper Legal Forms on Your Web Site .The above statement is not empty hype. For example:The FTC is really ramping up to crack down on Internet Marketers and small eBusiness owners, and actively go after those of us that don't rigidly adhere to all their rules about disclosure and documentation! They filed 45 criminal and civil law enforcement actions against Internet Marketers, on May 15th alone.A seemingly innocent omission from your Website, such as a privacy policy, opens the door for big legal headaches ... civil or criminal law suites ... maybe both.

How To Increase Your Link Popularity ? 2008-04-12 01:36:00 Basically, there are two ways to increase your link popularity:Reciprocal LinksThese are link exchanges you do with other webmasters. You place their link on your website ... they place your link on theirs, andOne-way, Incoming LinksThese are non-reciprocating links pointing to your website. Those links come to you from posting articles, giving testimonials, using Internet forums, and so on.Why Does Link Popularity
Play Such an Important Role in the Success of Your Internet Business?Because organic search engines, such as Google, factor in a site's link popularity when determining that site's ranking. The more quality links pointing to your site, the better search engine ranking you'll get.I'm sure that you know search engines are the gateway to the Internet. They are the first resource mo Read more:Link Popularity

Peace needs you! 2008-04-19 02:38:00 Peace Needs You! We are far away from the war? This is a somewhat "alarmist” question.War, fire, bloodshed, death, ruins. These terms are often used by the media in the customary manner. Of these, we feel fear; or perhaps of these, we may have already felt numb.However, when we use different languages, writing the confrontation expressions. When we speak different languages, facing provocative tone with each other, have we really thought too seriously about horrors of war? Have we ever tried to cherish the hard-won stability and the comfort? Have we considered putting aside the ideological differences, with a broad mind to all the people bearing all of the desire for peace? So, have we tried before?Dwight D. Eisenhower once said “I like to believe that people in the long run Read more:Peace
Misspelling Marketing? Not This Time 2008-04-19 01:41:00 I’m happy to see that the other day one of the readers pointed out that I misspelled the word Entrecard. Obviously, he is a careful reader, and he took the trouble to comment on this. Firs of all, I want to thank him for his kindness and for his patience. The feedback is always welcome.Secondly, sometime misspelling is visible on my site. That’s right, spelling sometimes is not given due attention and the speck-checkers available are not 100 percent reliable. But I guess another reason behind this is that bloggers, at heart, tend to treat their blogs more tolerably, and minimal errors are just taken for granted.All these seem to be cliché, but these are groups of people who actually rack their brains to misspell, specially misspell those hot search terms, to gain more traffic.

China SEPA is Promoted 2008-04-19 09:47:00 China’s government is boosting the authority of its long-toothless environmental watchdog agency in an attempt to rein in the rampant pollution wrought by rapid economic development. The State Environmental Protection Agency, known as SEPA, is on track to be promoted to a full-fledged Cabinet ministry. Under the plan, SEPA would become the Ministry of Environment, said Hongjun Zhang, a former SEPA official and environmental law expert, and Lo Sze Ping of Greenpeace in Beijing.Environmental degradation has fouled the air in cities and poisoned farmland and water sources, sparking protests at home and spoiling China’s relations abroad.Zhang said SEPA’s staff could be increased to 300 or 400, and that over time the body would be given more authority over local environmental bureaus, whi Read more:China

Applying Custom Colors to RSS Buttons 2008-04-21 07:53:00 It’s great to have a standard icon for feeds, but let’s be honest here... orange isn’t for everyone.Fortunately for you, I’ve included some beautiful icons which can be easily coloured using Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. I would recommend that only those that are familiar with Illustrator go that route. While the Photoshop method doesn’t produce quite the same amount of colourvariation, it’s very easy and should take you under a minute to apply.Instructions for Photoshop method:1. Save the files into a folder and open whichever size you would like. For instance, if you wantto add a 16 pixel icon to your site, open feed-icon-16x16.psd.2. Right-click on the “feed icon” layer in your layers palette. Press F7 if it’s not already visible.3. Select “Blending Options” from Read more:Colors

RSS Button Icons to Share: Beautiful RSS Icons 2008-04-21 07:05:00 RSS has become an important part of blogs and websites. RSS makes things easier on the reader’s part, and bloggers can submit their blogs for RSS content syndication.Even if a website is not RSS-friendly or Atom-friendly, some tool can handle it.I can remember many times I leave a blog without subscribing to its RSS, only later spending hous in trying to find that blog again, by searching donzes of times, often unseccessfully, just in order to read a certain paper which I want to consult then. Such experiences are frustrating, yet seems perpetual.In fact, subscribing doesn’t hurt at all, and can be a potentially vital time-saver when time comes.On the other hand, many bloggers try to make it easy for their visitors to subscribe to their RSS.

The investments underscore the growing political emphasis on sustainable development in a country with some of the world’s most polluted air and rivers.

RSS Icon：Optimal Position To Place RSS Button Icon 2008-04-22 01:48:00 Last time ,we share some wonderful RSS button icons and you can customize them to your satisfaction.But we find some bloggers somehow are paying little attention to the question of what’s the best position for their RSS button. The most beautiful design doesn’t serve its purpose if the visitors of your web-site can’t find an easy way to subscribe to your feed. While some designers put an enormous RSS icon in the middle of the page, the other ones place it at the bottom of the page, making it harder for users to find it. The funny thing is that enormous RSS buttons are indeed more effective.If the feeds are properly declared in the source code, browsers recognize it and offer visitors a choice of available feeds.
