There are so many options to start an internet based business. According to a study done by UCLA, nearly 90 percent of Americans have access to the internet. In addition to business websites, people are using free internet servers to make their own internet pages.

There is a vast difference between an internet website and a web page. Most sites offer customers a free internet page. You can post photos of yourself and your family members and keep in touch with your friends across the internet. These pages are hosted by a server that may or may not put mandatory ads on your web page.

You can also find a web host server that will give you space for a free website. This can also be a good idea for a small website that is mostly used for social purposes. Some people use such websites as an online resume of sorts.

Online businesses, however usually want to have a lot of perks such as databases that allow forums and shopping carts so that customers can keep coming back. Databases take a lot of space. A free server will not be able to handle such a request; there would not be enough space. These businesses often, when they start out, seek a paid internet server to host their site. They pay a monthly or yearly fee and get assistance with the server operator when needed.

This can work well for small businesses. However, if a business really starts to grow, it makes more sense for it to host their own website. In essence, a dedicated website is a way to host your own website and your website only. The server is dedicated only to you and your online business.

How does this help you? For one thing, since you no longer have to share space with other users on the shared server, you have more space for your own website. You can add more pages and options for your customers.

You will also be able to use as much bandwidth as needed without sharing with other websites. The bandwidth of a server is what allows the traffic to the website. If too many people are trying to access several websites at once and the server cannot handle it, they may be turned away. No one with a serious internet business wants to turn away customers.

Although dedicated servers cost substantially more money than shared servers, they are a wise investment for growing internet business. In most cases you can save money by not only improving the options on your website, but allowing easier access for your customers so that they will not be turned away, therefore, making you more profits in your internet website business. A dedicated server is the only way a large internet business can grow.

So how do you get traffic?

With joint ventures and affiliates you're relying on someone else to get you the traffic.

Your business (and the size of your bank account) is in their hands.

With hocus pocus SEO techniques, you've got to stay a step ahead of the search engines.

Good luck.

With pay-per-click, you're p-a-y-i-n-g.

Through the nose.

Forever and ever.

Ouch.

What if you can get INSTANT targeted traffic to every single one of your sites, courtesy of the search engines?

No, not Adwords.

You NEVER ever have to pay for this traffic.

http://neotec.gsnatch.hop.clickbank.net

There is a whole world of buyers out there looking for what you have to offer.

And you don't need to pay Google (or anyone) for them to beat a path to your website.

Think about it... you can actually earn 5 or 6 figures a year without spending a cent on advertising.

This means you can start earning NOW, without an investment.

And you can do this whether you have your own products, or you're an affiliate.

Doesn't matter.

What does matter is that YOU get the traffic you need to make your living online NOW, starting today.

After I have read it, I think it's a non-B.S. book and worth the money (only $29.95).

Without giving away too much (otherwise the author might get angry), let me tell you a little bit about this book. I'd say Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate is a pretty down-to-earth book. It's not for beginner, but for intermediate affiliate marketers who have already learned the basic stuff and are familiar with stuff like clickbank, adsense, adwords, etc.

Chris Rempel, the author of Confessions of a Lazy Super-Affiliate, doesn't like AdSense. "AdSense is for dummies." he said. The author doesn’t like those sites created by automatic scripts either. What he recommended is mini-sites focus on affiliate products. In Confession of a Lazy Super Affiliate, the author laid down a detailed step-by-step blueprint on how to create such mini-sites. I’d say that part was well written and can be followed easily. And it makes sense, too.

After that section, it came a real surprise. The author offers a SEO strategy that I’ve never heard about: it’s called viral software marketing. To me, that trick alone is so useful that I’d be willing to spend $29.95 to buy that idea alone. I found myself eager to start using that trick even before I finish reading the book.

Overall, Confession of a Lazy Super Affiliate is an eBook that definitely worth reading. It’s not long (61 pages) and full of detailed instruction, tips and tricks. Give it a try if you are interested!

Google Maps has just added a new featured caled "Street View". For some places on the Google Map, you can see photos of that street. The street-level photos are 360-degree navigable. Currently this cool feature is not available for all streets. On a Google map, if you see a street is outlined in blue, that means you see "Street View" of that street. The photo I showed above is a street view of 222 Castro Street in Mountain View, California.
