October 02 KeywordIndex.com Helps Search Marketers Find The Right Keywords KeywordIndex is a new online keyword suggestion tool
that helps businesses to find the best keywords. Available in English
and in German, KeywordIndex uses a unique keyword database that is not
used by any other keyword suggestion tool on the market.
To succeed on the Web, it is extremely important that you choose the right keywords when optimizing your website. Choose the wrong keywords and you can waste time and money, and a number one listing on Google for the wrong keyword won't help your business. For that reason, it is very important to choose your keywords wisely before you start your search engine optimization work. There are many factors that distinguish good keywords from average keywords. If you invest some time in finding the right keywords, you will have an edge on your competitors right from the start. In addition to the free online keyword tool,KeywordIndex offers a free white paper that deals with the following topics: * How to avoid common mistakes.

The service provides an affordable, innovative way for companies to
collect past due payments, especially amounts that are too small to be
handled by a collection agency, without the hassle, confrontation,
time, or effort typically required by traditional methods. It is based
on the notion, often proven in the collections business, that "the
squeaky wheel gets the grease." Creative Entropy, Inc., an Arkansas
business that creates online applications, had their share of deadbeat
clients over the last decade. Often, the only way the owners could
collect payment from these accounts was to constantly call and harass
them. When one of Creative Entropy, Inc.’s business accounts refused to
pay a $70 bill and then repeatedly claimed to be out of the office to
avoid the ensuing collection calls, the company owners came up with the
SqueakyFax.com idea. How it works...The SqueakyFax.com customer
signs up online and sets the interval at which the faxes are sent to
the customer (daily, weekly, monthly, etc., at random times). The faxed
reminders are generated from random fax numbers to prevent number
blocking by the recipient. What makes the service so effective is that
customers give most faxes more attention than mailed invoices, and the
faxes are more difficult to avoid than phone calls or e-mails. Note
that the faxes are sent only to other businesses -- not to consumers --
as different laws apply to U.S. consumers. Regular rates for
SqueakyFax.com services are $5.99 USD for 20 faxes, with special
pricing for non-profit organizations. Contact Shane Green for further

August 21 OTR Tire Site BuyBigTires.com Launches OTR Video Magazine With Tom WhiteURL: http://www.buybigtires.com Whether you are a tire industry veteran who memorizes technical data books for fun, or a novice who doesn't know what the initials "OTR" stand for, BuyBigTires.com is betting that they can inform and entertain you, with their bi-weekly OTR video magazine "OTR Weekly with Tom White". Drawing from his experience in off-the-road, or OTR tires, sales and installation, Tom uses an informal and humorous approach to talk about issues of importance within the OTR Industry, without leaving "normal folks" behind. In each episode, Tom takes on issues that not only affect those in the tire industry, but the general public as well. Want to see how the coming shortage in agricultural tires may affect the price of food? Tom will show you. How a predicted shortage in carbon black may affect the price of your car tires? Tom will tell you. 'OTR Weekly' also includes explanations of technical information like tread depth, patterns, and serial numbers, along with the application of that knowledge in a real world situation. When asked why BuyBigTires.com chose to produce videos with the end user in mind, and not just industry insiders, Tom had this to say: "Since the shortage of OTR began, we've seen an increase in customers who just need 2 or 3 tires to keep their equipment running. Many times, they are a small construction company, and it'll be the owner's wife or somebody in a procurement office that we talk with on the phone. Usually, they are given minimal information regarding their tire needs, and we may need to give them a more in-depth explanation, to help focus their buying criterion. 'OTR Weekly' is just a natural extension of what we do on a daily basis in our office, albeit on a much larger scale." "OTR Weekly" joins a strong lineup of informational products already present...Click to read more.

Fax Recovery Systems tackles these unwanted intrusions head on, and can recover money for the unwilling fax recipient. The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (TCPA) prohibits the sending of unsolicited facsimile advertisements (i.e. junk faxes) to businesses or residential fax machines unless a "business relationship" with the company on whose behalf the fax was sent already exists. According to Joel Nussenblatt, president of Fax Recovery Systems, the rise of other communications systems such as email blasts has not eliminated the daily imposition of unwanted faxes. “This is an insidious form of advertising where the receiver is paying for the advertisement, through his paper, his ink or toner, and tying up his phone lines,” he said. “As unpleasant as email blasts can be, there is no expense involved in deleting the message, but this is not the case with faxes.” Nussenblatt added that the constant calls from fax blasters are also an invasion of privacy. Fax Recovery Systems seeks out law firms across the country specializing in TCPA law to help stem the flow of unsolicited faxes. The company receives copies of the unwanted faxes, researches their origin and may refer them to law firms. These law firms go after the senders of the junk faxes for violations of the TCPA law. Their mission is to “take the profit out of the activity.” Fax Recovery Systems clients can recover up to $50 from settlements made by the law firms for the junk faxes that they send to them. “People do have rights when it comes to unwanted faxes – the TCPA has made that clear,” added Nussenblatt. “We understand the law, and...click to read more Tags: fax blasters, junk faxes, unsolicited faxes, Fax Recovery Systems August 29 iSpeakVideo launches Virtual Spokesperson and iVideo Presentations For Web Sites URL: http://www.ispeakvideo.comFlorida-based corporation Blend Advertising, a fully integrated branding and interactive advertising agency, this month announced its web advertising technology product line-up through its newest subsidiary iSpeakVideo. iSpeakVideo’s unique technology allows businesses of all sizes to add a borderless online video to any section of their website.
