Casual Articles - Just Tag It!
The small and often overlooked business card is really one of the most important tools available for promoting your business. Business cards should be designed to provide eleven basic bits of information. The first group is the all important contact information items. These include such things as your business name and address. Your phone number and email would fall into this category also. The type of business and the services that you provide are also key elements.Business card printing is more than just the plac

If I were to ask a room full of 1000 salespeople (I have done it) what is the number one thing consumers want today, what do you think their answer would be? You guessed it – Lower Price. And second? Quality? Right again, and third? Service. Bingo. Now, let’s switch scenes for a moment. I now have a thousand consumers or business buyers in my audience, and I ask them the same question. What do you think my answers would be?Let me give you the most frequent answers I get from this group. 1- Service 2- Quality 3
Just another trend or something else?
Trends happen overnight! Some catch on fast and explode very quickly into our every day use.
Most of these trends you can ignore as silly folly or at the most fine amusement. Anyone remember pet rocks, Farrah Fawcett hairdos, or last year's killer fashions?
Others, you have to pay more attention to: cell phones, digital cameras, mini-sites, optin lists, or email.
Right now, there's another trend you should keep your eye on: 'tags'.
What are tags? And why should you care about them?
Tags are a way of sorting and linking all that information in blogs and RSS Feeds. It groups together all the information on one particular subject.
It's a democratic 'search engine' for blogs.
Think of a 'tag' as a 'keyword' to be used in blogging and RSS Feeds (Feed tags are still in the works).
Tags have hit the radar lately because Technorati, which indexes 4.5 million blogs, started sorting blog posts by using tags.
They have created a folksonomy, drawing tags from different sources, mainly Flickr.com which sorts or groups pictures and from del.icio.us -- where you create a tag when you bookmark a page.
Or if your blogging software has categories -- this will be recognized by Technorati as a tag.
If you want to create a 'tag' it's very simple; just place this code in your blog:
<*a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Computers" rel="tag">Computers<*/a> (remove asterisks in actual code)
and you will have created a tag for computers.

Business owners rarely go into business to deal with the financial aspects of running a business. It’s easy to understand why! You are passionate about the products or services you provide and want to focus your time there. The financial aspect usually falls to the bottom of the “desired responsibilities” list. It is critical to the long-term success of your business that you understand some of the Financial Fundamentals of being a business owner though. You don’t have to be an accountant or financial analyst, but it is i

You know, Tom Cruise has been all over the television and newspapers lately.Yeah, he's got a big blockbuster movie out right now that he's trying to promote (War Of The Worlds), but he's also been getting a little "out there" going on about his newest love, Katie Holmes, and of course -- he's been in "preacher" mode about his cult / religion, scientology.Now whether you like this kind of stuff or not, there's a very simple lesson you can learn from Tom Cruise, that can make a HUGE difference in your

There are some inherent problems in this system; will the posts grow so quickly and so large -- it's like 'finding a needle in a haystack' or will you have to dig thru a lot of muck to find the scattered diamonds. Or maybe a ranking system will be put in place but this goes against the 'democratic code' of blogging.
Regardless, the traffic and marketing potential of 'tags' could be very beneficial to those who use it to their advantage.
A marketer with a product to introduce or promote could aggressively target tags as part of their advertising budget. As blogging increases in popularity -- it's something to watch!
As a website owner -- tags could be a great source of targeted traffic. And the keyword here is 'targeted'.
It's the kind of visitor you want coming to your site or blog. It can only lead to a better quality visitor. Similar to a visitor coming from the major search engines. One that is really searching for your information.
The next big question, how will marketers exploit these tags to make a few bucks? Everyone knows that's coming!
Will we have a 'tag search engine' that can rival the quality of a Google or Yahoo? Or do we need one?
As with any new trend -- you never know how it will play out.
Some interesting questions have yet to be answered:
Tags are basically keywords for blogs -- but as everyone knows the quality of links to these tags are not all equal. Will someone step in and rank these or will they remain democratic?
Just how will tags work for building content or links to your site? How will the search engines use these ta
