A basic requirement for an Internet marketer (unless one opts for one of those 'free' websites on offer on the Net) is a Website; and two fundamental questions related to it at the outset are whether to take on the designing of your website yourself or hire a firm for the purpose. Both options have certain advantages (and disadvantages) but experience has shown that for most people (including people who have some knowledge of website design and...more

Author: Peter CarlsonThere are more than 105 million of them in the United States. Worldwide, there could be at least 250 million of them. Them, according to statistics from the Nielsen/Net Ratings service, is the number of active Web surfers. 250 million in the whole world? The figure is more than the populations of Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and a few non-English speaking countries combined. That’s a lot of them!With so many active surfers around, you would think Webmasters and site owners have an easy time attracting them. Actually, they face an uphill battle to bring visitors and, more importantly, consumers to their Web sites. And a Web site without traffic is like a store built in the middle of the desert. You could have the greatest products and most attractive Web design around, but they’re worthless if no one visits them. There is one way, however, to turn your Web site into an oasis of business, a way to drive as much traffic to your site as your server can handle: a classified ad.More on that later. First, all Web builders and site owners should know the basic and time-tested ways to attract traffic to their Web site. The key to all of these methods is to...more

By: Todd Spodek, Esq.: Google has recently launched Google Scholar, which is an amazing free resource for both lawyers and non-lawyers to research the law. Everyone can now read the full legal opinions of U.S. State, Federal and Appellate cases.These cases can be searched by the case name, or topic. Further, one can now easily see how a legal opinion has influenced other Judges by reviewing the citing page, and related cases page.For example if you wanted to read the famous NY Court of Appeals Case People v. Huntley which allows a defendant to challenge the voluntariness and lawful nature of any statement made to the police you could easily do that.This is an important case to know about because if a defendant requests a Huntley hearing, and is successful at the hearing, any incriminating statements made will be precluded from trial. The hearing Judge will consider the following factors to determine if the statements were voluntary:* Whether the defendant was in custody at the time of the statement. If so, whether the defendant waives hid Miranda rights.* Whether the police used unfair coercion or violence* Whether the police made promises to the defendant* Whether the defendant...more
