Website Marketing - Pixel Page Advertising - The Hottest Advertising Craze on the Internet

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

What is next? I’ve been in marketing for many years, and just when I assume I’ve seen it all, I get shocked all over again. Every new trick I see causes me to laugh at the beginning. But then results come in the picture. You get to believe it. I’m talking about Pixel Ads.

So, what is pixel page? Or what is pixel advertising? Or what are pixel ads?
Pixel Ads, sometimes referred to as Micro Ads, are little advertisements that only slot in the space of a pixel on a web page. These ads range anywhere from a penny to a dollar per pixel and several sites are offering free Pixel Ads.

“Selling the ads on the front page of a site has been easy because they are attractive to watch and easier for site owner to get lots of traffic towards his site”, InnovativePixelPage, one of the companies selling pixel ads said. If an advertiser buys a 10×10 pixels or block or slot, it appears as a small square in the grid of small squares on the site’s front page.

It is kind of strange. The site also makes advertising fun, instead of a “big, serious thing.” IPP. It’s no secret that banner advertising has been gradually declining in popularity and effectiveness, and everyone has popup blockers installed to keep those annoying popup ads from screening. Pay-per-click advertisers are becoming increasingly frustrated with click scam, the high rate of unqualified clicks.

In pixel page, when visitors click on the ads that link to the advertiser’s Web site, they are on these sites for hours. Already, the guys that bought the ads are reporting fabulous amount shifts.

Crazy Advertising Schemes

You’ve all probably seen innovativepixelpage.com by now; this is a website where pixel ads are displayed free in for site promotion. The site uniquely features pixel ads, periodic theme change, free monthly site status or report, new mouse rollover option to boost site rank, categorized advertisement, faster site loading supporting jpg format instead of other time consuming picture formats, real time site clicks, etc.,

So enjoy pixel site, happy surfing!

Memories That Get Lost

Monday, September 29th, 2008

How many people have pictures in a shoe box? In a drawer? Inside a book? Sitting in the garage?

Imagine 40 years from now. Someone will get those pictures and they will say: Who are these people? What are they doing in this boat?

They won’t have a clue about the stories that those pictures tell and they will probably throw part of your story away. - How sad is that?!!

There are several ways to preserve your memories. You can make a scrapbook, which is great. But as time goes by it will get faded, get wet or any other kind of accident and your memories may then be lost. Also it is not an easy or inexpensive way to share with friends and family who don’t live close by. Some of the pictures will need to be restored and this may be a costly option - You can also have your pictures in a slide show, but that can be really boring and after some years, people still won’t know a lot about those pictures.

A fairly new home-based company in Salt Lake City offers a solution for that. - It’s a storybook CD / DVD that tells the stories behind the pictures.

Pictures may say a 1000 words, but they usually need some help. In this format, you may have your pictures, the story- in a written format, animation, voices and video clips. It is not a slide show, and it is not a video. It is based on new softwares designed for multimedia productions.

It’s a great way to teach your kids in a fun manner about your life, and share special events of your past with your family.

Because the designers have a lot of experience with movies and tv, the timming and rithym is taken into consideration to make your story like it should be told. We know that grandpa Joe has trouble reading and little Jack who is 7 is still struggling with words, and that is also taken into consideration.

The company doesn’t use templates, everything is customized according to your story, your needs and wants, and you don’t just send the photos and then receive the product. As everything else done at Bearycrafty.Com, you’re part of the process.

Even a kit that helps you organize the pictures and write the story is provided to ensure a high quality final product. This is a very affordable option, it is quite inexpensive to get copies for your family and really cheap to send by mail.

Your memories count and should be preserved.

Top Dog Has No Papers - New Trend In Business Clears The Way For Innovative Thinking

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

How many times have you looked around your office and cringed at all the piles of paperwork? You’re not alone, says Barbara Hemphill, author of “Taming the Paper Tiger at Work” and president of Hemphill Productivity Institute. People everywhereespecially top executives and entrepreneursare finding themselves bogged down by the clutter that’s taken over their desks.

As a top dog, how can you ensure that your executivesand youare doing everything possible to engineer a creative environment? Hemphill offers insights on how to clear the way for strategic thinking as well as how hiring and training your dream strategic assistant can be the best investment you’ll ever make.

Gone are the old days in business, when the top brass had secretaries and assistants at their disposal, many of who spent part of their days trying to look busy.

“Now the pendulum has swung too far the other way,” Hemphill explains. “Because of cutbacks in staffing budgets, the top dog now spends part of his or her day performing administrative tasks, following up on details and filing paperwork.

Most executives and entrepreneurs are dreamers and thinkers, not organizers. “The top dogs come up with ideas,” Hemphill says. “They’re not as good at following throughthat’s the purpose of a team. The papers and files piled high on their desks only serve as reminders of ideas that didn’t work. You can’t be a visionary when you’re bogged down in paperwork.”

© Barbara Hemphill is the author of Kiplinger’s Taming the Paper Tiger at Work and Taming the Paper Tiger at Home and co-author of Love It or Lose It: Living Clutter-Free Forever. The mission of Hemphill Productivity Institute is to help individuals and organizations create and sustain a productive environment so they can accomplish their work and enjoy their lives.
