Once you decide you need a Web site, it's time to decide who will build it. If you have the technical know-how or the money to hire a full-time Web staff, you can develop the site yourself. But if you're like most small businesses, you'll want to outsource the work.
Be careful who you hire, though. A poorly designed Web site can cost you money, drive away customers, and hurt your reputation. Follow a few basic steps to increase your odds of hiring a creative, technically savvy, and cost-effective design firm.
1. Assess your needs. You can hire contractors to create, implement and maintain your site. If your site will serve only as an online brochure, consider outsourcing the creation and implementation, while handling future maintenance - like fixing broken links - in-house. Be realistic about your own goals and growth plans so you know whether to hire a long-term or a short-term contractor.
2. Research each candidate's work. It's essential that you research a Web developer's work so you can evaluate their potential. Once you've found a few developers you like - through recommendations, Web directories or competitors' sites - evaluate their online portfolios and fees. A site doesn't have to be flashy to do its job, but you must appreciate the developer's design sense. Also, consider hiring a firm familiar with your particular industry.
3. Evaluate their services. Decide if the developer meets your needs. If you want to sell your products online, look for proven e-commerce experience. If you're considering a one-person firm, does the developer have the skills necessary to create everything you need? On the other hand, will you get lost in the shuffle at a larger firm with lots of other clients? Determine what extras the firms offer, such as copywriting, marketing, and other services.
4. Meet face-to-face. Your Web design firm, whether a one-person shop or a multinational company, is going to present your Web persona to the world. You must be able to work collaboratively. Ask yourself these questions and rely on your gut reaction:
* Do they listen to my needs?
* Do they explain issues in ways I can understand?
* Do they know my industry?
* Do they share my vision for the site?
5. Check references. Browsing a company's work is helpful, but you also want to know how they work. A Web design firm can be the most creative in the world, but if it never finishes your site, it won't do you much good. Call past clients and ask if the design firm:
* Adhered to deadlines
* Met their requests
* Was responsive to suggestions and questions
* Fixed problems promptly
* Worked within the original budget
6. Think ahead. Over the past year, hundreds of Web design firms of all sizes have merged, cut back their operations, or simply closed. Although it's impossible to know for sure whether or not a firm will be around in the future, you have a right to ask questions if you expect to build a long-term relationship. You should also ask whether a design firm will accept payment in stages or whether they'll demand most of their payment up front. Firms that aren't willing to link payment to their own ability to deliver might not be worth the risk you'll take to deal with them.

OneBidd.com Online Auctions
FAQ's for Welcome to OneBidd.com Your New Auction Site
(Frequently Asked Questions)
Table of Contents
1. Who determines the minimum or starting bid?
2. What is the Bid Increment?
3. Okay, what are Proxy or MaxBids?
4. What does using this auction cost and how do I qualify?
5. How do I bid?
6. What are Reserve Bids?
7. How do I Post an item for sale?
8. How do I find out more about a posted item?
9. How do I know I'm getting a good deal?
10. How do I know I won?
Who determines the minimum or starting bid?
The seller (the person who posted the item) decides what he or she wants the bidding to begin at. Usually this is (and should be) just below the lowest price acceptable for the item. If you bid, the system will ask you to bid the starting price PLUS the Bid Increment. Sellers are encouraged to start items at a reasonable amount and not absurdly high. Buyers like the auction process because it allows bargain shopping. If an item is priced right, people recognize the bargain and bid on it.
Back to Top
What is the Bid Increment?
The Bid Increment ($1 is the default increment) raises the bidding each time by that minimum amount (you can always bump it up even higher). The purpose of the bid increment is to keep someone from outbidding you by some silly amount like $.01. It protects you and assures the seller of getting a decent return if the item is hotly contested.
Back to Top
Okay, what are Proxy Bids?
Proxy bidding allows the system to bid for you automatically. Think of Proxy bidding as someone who stays and watches the auction 24 hours a day while you're off doing more interesting stuff. You activate Proxy Bidding by entering the highest amount you are willing to pay for an item into the place bid box. The system will then bid for you, bidding only enough to make you the high bidder. If someone tops that bid,our system places another bid for you and so on up to the maximum amount you've specified. Under no circumstances will Proxy Bidding ever bid MORE than you said. But the system will send you e-mail about an outbid so you can enter a higher Proxy Bid amount if you'd like.
Back to Top
What does using this auction cost and how do I qualify?
This auction requires that all sellers and buyers be registered. This enables our software to keep track of items for sale and who bids on what. It protects both ourselves as the auction providers and you as buyer and/or seller. Registration is simple and painless. Merely click on [New Registration] here or near the top or bottom of any auction page.
Back to Top
How do I bid?
Click on the name of items you'd like more information about. If you wish to place a bid, enter your bid in the box below the item, then just click on the place bid button nearby. We suggest that a good strategy for items you really want is to place the highest bid you are willing to pay. Otherwise, someone may beat you out. Should someone outbid you, the system sends you an e-mail notification with a link back here to the item. Click on the link right in your e-mail message and you will be returned to the directly to the item. You can then decide whether you want to raise your bid.

DON"T CLICK IT
Matt has spent a good majority of his online business time researching and developing new ways to increase traffic to his site. And it's proven to be one of the most influential reasons for his success online.
The more visitors he gets, the more customers he gets. It's that simple.
Essentially, having or not having traffic to your site will make or break you. That's why I think you'll really like what I'm about to tell you.
Recently launched is Matt's software program that will literally create dozens of HIGH quality articles from just one single article.
How does that increase traffic?
Simple.
When you submit these articles to article directories, place a backlink in them to your site, the search engines quickly pick them up and increase the credibility rank of your site... thus bringing in more visitors to your site.
This is just one of the strategies for using article marketing to bring in traffic. I'm personally using this software, and after just a short time, I've seen some great results already.

Adsense
Hi, Everyone
There are lots of products and Ebooks out there
about AdSense but the problem with most of them
is:
1. They're written by people who aren't even
big earners themselves
2. They don't ever go into the REAL detail of
HOW TO earn high amounts
That's why I was shocked when I came across
Michael Cheney's AdSense Videos site. He's
produced simple click and play videos that show
you the exact methods he uses to make $19,156
per month.
Michael's videos are different because they
show you step-by-step exactly what he does to
generate over $600 per day just using Google's
AdSense program.
It's easy to see why all the big 'gurus' are
piling praise on 'AdSense Videos' and even if
you don't go ahead and get full access to all
the videos (which I recommend you do) - you
need to visit the site and get the AdSense
Mini-Course he's giving away:

Traffic and Top Search Engine Rankings in 24 Hours?
Hi, Everyone
I have been SO focused on learning about Internet video lately.
Why?
Because three Internet marketers I know have stumbled on a formula that uses Intenet video to generate UNBELIEVABLE TRAFFIC AND SEARCH ENGINE RANKINGS--in as little as 24 to 48 hours!
They are telling anyone who will listen about it.
I am taking full advantage of their advice and reaping the benefits. And I want to let you in on it, too.
Go here to get ahold of three items that will blow you away. (They're FR^EE.)
http://www.trafficgeyser.com
1. The first item is a Special eReport called "How to Generate Massive Traffic and Unexpected Search Engine Results with Internet Video."
2. Number two is a valuable guide: "The Free Video Hosting Web Site Directory." It's an ebook packed with reviews, tips and insights to more than 30 of the top Intenet video hosting sites.
3. Item three is access to a very insightful hour-long online Webinar video called "Building Massive Traffic."
Just go here, sign up and they will email the fr^ee items to you:
http://www.trafficgeyser.com
Then let me know if you're suddenly as focused on Internet video as I am.
Until next time,
Robert Santini
P.S. One more thing...I want to let you in on what these three guys are up to. It's so incredible I can hardly keep a lid on it.
They've developed a service called Traffic Geyser that uploads your videos to the top 15 to 30 video hosting sites for you with the click of one button.
This has two MAJOR BENEFITS if you're selling anything online or building a subscription base: TRAFFIC (and I mean the kind of traffic a top 30 Google ranking brings you) and it SAVES YOU HUNDREDS OF HOURS of time.
See, without Traffic Geyser, you'd have to upload your videos manually to each site in order to get the traffic and search ranking benefits. It could take you eight hours to upload one video to fifteen sites! Some Internet marketers have full time people on staff just to upload videos--that's how time-intensive it is.
Here's the BEST PART--you can get the same benefits even if you just have audio. Just sign up for those three gifts and they'll tell you all about it. Here's the link again:

Sounds good ...but it almost blew up in my face!
You can see what happened in this video:

G Lock Blog Finder
In November I did a case study on getting links from leaving
well thought-out comments on blog posts that don't use the
NoFollow attribute.
Back then I gave the practice of using links in comments for SEO
purposes a 6 out of 10 on the "must-do" scale. I only gave it a
6 because, although it works well, it's just very difficult and
time consuming to find enough blogs to post at that don't use
the NoFollow attribute (which, in case you're not aware, prevents
Google from counting the link toward the ranking of your site).
Well, the days of drudging through the search results trying to
find DoFollow blogs is OVER! I found an OUTSTANDING piece of
software that does all the work for you in a teeny tiny fraction
of the time it takes if you do it manually -- it turns that 6
into a BIG 10.
I created a short video showing you how it works (it's barely 5
minutes long). Your jaw is going to drop at how easy it is to
get links from blog comments with this thing.
And guess what else? The software has a f.ree version as well!
I prefer the Gold version (and I'll tell you why in the video),
but if you're short on c.ash it can still help you out big-time.
Take 5 minutes and watch this killer video. You might want to
hold your mouth closed, though -- otherwise you'll be drooling
all over yourself by the end of it! ;)

Three Way Linking
Now that you've had some time to read Search Engine Myths Exposed,
let me ask you a few questions:
1. Do you need more traffic from Google?
2. Do you WANT more traffic from Google?
3. Would you benefit if you had more traffic from Google?
I think the answer for all 3 of those questions is probably YES.
It's always yes for me, no matter how much traffic I'm getting. :)
That's why it's so important that you get lots of links in to your
web sites -- and the right kind of links, the kind that Google
values.
How do I know it will work for you? Because 2,360 sites from
hundreds of site owners just like you are now on Page One of
Google for their chosen keywords! That's how!
My 3waylinks.net service lets you get 250 links into each of the
50 sites that you can put into your account there. That's
12,500 links to your web sites. You can make some SERIOUS profits
with that, as I've shown in Search Engine Myths Exposed!
If you've already signed up -- GREAT -- it's an investment into
your business.
If not, what's holding you back? Is it the cost? If so, think
about this: 1 site earning $3 a day in AdSense alone will double
the monthly subscription fee. ONE site, and you can have 50 in
your account.
Why not look over the charts, stats and proof I have on the
3WayLinks.net homepage, and give it some serious thought? Your
business will only improve by it:
