Shady CSS Users – You Can Run but You Can’t Hide Anymore

If you’re tired of the way your site looks and want a change, but don’t want to deal with changing your HTML, then CSS (cascading style sheet) files can be your best friend. You can easily give your site a face lift with the help of these files without having to spend hours on end adjusting your HTML code.

However, like all things, there are some web designers who have taken the use of CSS and gotten a little sneaky with it. Using CSS a site owner can easily hide content from their visitors. By filling their HTML code with keyword stuffed content, the search engines would index the site based on those keywords, but the visitors would never see all the keyword overloaded content.

Nothing like trying to pull the wool over a search engine bots’ eyes hu? Nice try guys, but you can’t hide anymore. According to an article I read at IMNewsWatch.com, it seems that to combat this problem, Google is now indexing CSS files. You can read the article here => Does Google Read CSS Files?

Not that you needed one, but there’s just one more reason tricky tactics don’t pay off in internet marketing.

There Are No Dumb Quesitons - But Now You Can Avoid Potential Embarrassment

If you're new to online business...or even if you've been around for a while...sometimes it's overwhelming to understand what all the terminology is all about. Just last week, someone sent me a private message to and said, "I feel so silly asking, but what is affiliate marketing?"

There's no reason to feel silly, but if you find it hard to ask those questions or you want an easy-to-use reference at your fingertips, we've created one for you. Internet Marketing Definitions includes definitions to Internet marketing-related terminology that you can access 24/7. You can also click "Suggest" link on the left if you can't find the word you're looking for.

This has been a fairly large project and I wanted to share a few thank-yous. I appreciate you all.
Now, go check out the site at InternetMarketingDefinitions.com...and even if you're seasoned, know-it-all marketer (just kidding!), please pass on the site to others who might need it.
