I don't remember what we ordered, but I do remember this: The waiter gave a funny look & said "The Cod isn't very fresh today, may I recommend the Scrod?" or words to that effect.As he went around the table, he either complimented us on our choice or made a small suggestion on our selection. We were listening to his every word. Watching this artist at work was interesting enough to keep me from talking much. I knew

Content is the life-blood of an online business, so most of these tips will focus on your Web site's content. Here are Seven Tips to help you bring your Web site up-to-date for the Christmas Season:
Monday. Proofread. You probably won't like this very much, but you need to read every page on your Web site to make sure it accurately reflects your current product or service. What changes have you made to your business offerings lately? Nothing is more embarrassing or counter-productive than promoting a product you no longer carry or misrepresenting your product on your Web site. Trust is vital to the online exchange of services and products.
Tuesday. Remove Ambiguities. Think about questions clients, customers, and friends have asked about your business over the last year. What seems absolutely self-evident to you, but is misunderstood by others? If questions are coming at you from left field, it may be time to add a Frequently Asked Questions page or to update your existing page with clear answers to those not-so-self-evident questions!

When we lose our jobs, no matter the reason, we lose a big part of our identity. Think of the last several times you met new people. After names are exchanged and polite comments made on whatever event you are attending, the question quickly arises: "What do you do?"It's a pleasant starting point for conversation and usually gives rise to many questions or a lively discussion. It also allows us to measure and preliminarily judge each other. Until we really start to know someone as an individual, we tend to deal in broad general

I know every one wants to get top placement in the 3 major search engines; Google, Yahoo, and MSN. You work hard getting the right keywords, adding great keyword filled content to your site, and getting great back links pointing to your site.What most people don’t take into consideration is that they still have to design the web site around the potential customer. It’s exciting to see your web site list in the first and second page of Google, Yahoo, and MSN but if the title and description content do not explain your service, i

I hate my job.Do you find yourself saying this on a regular basis?Do you dread having to face another day at work?Do you sometimes wish you’d be fired or laid off just to escape your daily prison?If so, join the club.

Wednesday. Revive Your Look & Feel. Take new product photos and replace the old ones on your Web site. Liven up your pages with new graphics and stock photos as needed. Add a slideshow or flash presentation to your home page or other appropriate landing pages to grab the attention of more visitors.
Thursday. Learn from Competitors. Visit your the Web sites of your competitors and compatriots for new ideas regarding content you can add to create value for your customers and clients. Add New Content: Articles, White Papers, Tools, etc.
Friday. Research to Improve Your Search Engine Traffic. Put on your thinking cap. On a blank sheet of paper, write an unedited list of search terms that you think potential clients and customers might use to find your Web site. Concentrate on phrases in the two to three word range. Spend about 15 minutes searching Google for these phrases. Does your site come up on the
first few pages? If not, don't panic. Consider ways you might be able to add the phrases you consider most important to the HTML titles and body copy of a few relevant pages on your Web site.
Tip: A good place to get search term ideas is from your server logs. These record all visitors to your Web site and often specify search terms used to find your pages. This may spur you on towards finding additional related phrases that are not in use now.
