Color Psychology May Be Useful to You
Color psychology is the study of how different colors represent different emotions and ideas in the mind of viewers.
Each color tends to be viewed in a different light and as important in varying ways, and understanding exactly how color psychology works can assist your business in designing the perfect website to get the most out of your online marketing.
But not all colors are positive, meaning that it can be very wise to avoid the use of certain choices or combinations depending on what type of mood or message you wish to establish with your site.
By understanding color psychology you can avoid possible pitfalls and mistakes that come with randomly selecting colors without using any sort of serious pattern.
Learn more about color usage from Barry Byers.
Make every moment of your promotion count!

Now Get More Traffic From Your Published Articles
Do you enjoy article marketing as part of your promotional mix?
Recently Christopher M. Knight, the publisher of one of the busiest Ezine Article Directories at http://www.EzineArticles.com introduced the http://Twitter.EzineArticles.com directory of EzineArticles Expert Authors who also use Twitter.
Sure enough, Chis says he's had over 400 members have already signed up to let them "auto-tweet" for them whenever they have a new article accepted.
The first 3 things to do if you're new to Twitter are:
1. Upload your author photo. Profiles without photos are lame.
2. Upload your 140 character author bio.
3. Engage & become involved in the conversation that is Twitter.
This is the fastest way to attract Followers to your Twitter profile.
Now every time you submit a new article and it gets published, your
followers will be auto-updated on Twitter.
OTHER GREAT Article Resources: (if you enjoy writing your own original content)
www.Goarticles.com is very good for traffic. They are currently scoring number 2 for the very generic phrase search engine articles on Google right now.
Another excellent article directory that is still fairly new, is
Affsphere.com
and they have been growing in leaps and bounds. They're the ones that are sharing a variety of income sharing and interesting promotional opportunities with their authors.
Even if you are not using Twitter right now, I highly recommend
all of these busy article marketing directories. If you already
have articles published on Ezinearticles.com then
Here is the simple "How To Get Started" instructions.

Beware of Psychological Keywords when buying online
Let's talk about a different type of Psychological Keyword
when buying online.
Are you of the opinion that SEO never changes?
Have you read about the hyped-up video programs that certain people push online?
Try and imagine a person spending nearly $800 per month just to watch some videos only to discover that they really could not retain too much information by looking at a video. Imagine how upset you'd be if by the end of 6 months (or $4800 later) you still did not really
understand the "process of SEO?" I certainly hope this has not been
your experience, but if it has - you are not alone.
The most recent person who called us for help to get there skills up to speed, unfortunately had spent much more than $4800.
Please be very careful of marketing pitches that try to sell you on their "limited club" using terms like "tricks" or "secrets." Beware of these online "resources" that do not put their price up front or do not tell you up front that there are restrictions and surprises inside.
Insiders Tip: As someone who has been teaching SEO and Internet Marketing methodology to people from over 80 countries since 2002, here is a little tip....
In SEO there are no "sneaky tricks" or "secrets" that will benefit you.
You ask..."John, are you saying there are not any tricks?"
Stop and think about it. The only thing that has ever really existed
is simply the knowledge of SEO and the skill level to apply the
knowledge. There are some "Gurus" that have not optimized pages for
years. Watch out for those Psychological words "tricks" "sneaky" "secrets" etc... Those are trigger words used by marketers (to get you to buy.) Lately some marketers have been bragging about the free video they're giving away but we here another side to the story from students who later come to our workshops to fine tune their real skills.
Videos are great and are certainly easy to watch, but here is the question....
Are "videos" the best learning option for building your SEO skills.
Let's see.....$800 X 12 months or about $9,600 per year is an awful chunk of money to spend watching tricky videos and still not have a grasp on all the basic essentials (never mind the advanced.) Now the people who will be most upset with what I'm saying here, will also be the affiliate marketers who'll be upset with the idea of my talking outright about these things. Read more here.
Watch the videos if you want. Test it all for yourself.
Or...if you prefer to save yourself a load of frustration and probably several thousand dollars...Why wait? Our local community trainers are standing by to assist you in some exceptional new strategies. Here are a few dates and locations right here:
September 8 - 12, 2008 - Tampa Search Engine Academy
September 8 - 12, 2008 - California Search Engine Academy
September 16 - 18, 2008 - South Carolina Search Engine Academy
September 22 -26 2008 - New York Metro Search Engine Academy
September 22 -26 2008 - Philadelphia with Robin Nobles & myself and Mike Marshall
Robin Nobles and I and our entire team of associates have always
focused on teaching SEO skills (not tricks.)
Make it your goal to the gain genuine knowledge with hands on practice
to build your skill and then you get the 6 Months Mentoring program
after class FREE! The most expensive 5 Day Workshop is still our
most popular because of the results the student experience once they
know what they're doing.
These success stories are just from ordinary business owners like you.

Come take a break away from the standard old recycled SEO information and learn powerful SEO skills and principles that you can benefit from immediately in class and afterwards. Sometimes, in a tougher economy you need the real deal knowledge in minimal time but with maximum retention. Think skills - not tricks or cheats.
Also read this e-book. It's any eye-opener and it's free!

Compete or lead the way
Can you really diminish the competition just by changing the focus
of your content?
Yes, you absolutely can.
You can bring in entirely new audiences that never would have found you if you were just following the same path as 99% of your competition.
But this time now let's also explore how you can benefit by altering
your business focus (not just your Web content.) To "compete" or
choose to "diminish the competition" by leading the way.
What's the difference you ask?
