Ignore Split-Testing at Your Own Risk
Thu, 06/17/2010 - 21:03 — Norio De SousaI ignored Perry's advice when he told me to test, test, test. Even if you think you've got a good ad, you never stop split-testing. Why? Because increasing your click-through rate (CTR) means you get more clicks for the same money. But, with AdWords, it also means you get more clicks for LESS money. That's because, the higher your CTR, the less Google charges you per click!
Getting Value out of Facebook Connect
Wed, 05/19/2010 - 16:06 — Norio De SousaIf you really want to get value out of Facebook, offer visitors to your site the option to promote their latest post or comment on Facebook. Most people stay logged into Facebook so a quick popup asking them if they want to share this post or comment on Facebook won't take much more time and so the chances of them doing just that are greatly increased.
Google Wave for Project Planning & Brainstorming
Sun, 11/01/2009 - 10:09 — Norio De SousaGoogle Wave is Google's new collaboration and communication tool. It allows you to share your thoughts, videos, documents and a LOT more - LIVE - with everyone else participating in your wave.
So, for example, if you want a new web site, and you have some ideas you'd like to flesh out with the help of your web developer, you'd start a new Google Wave, load up examples of what you like, don't like, etc, invite them on board and continue brainstorming until you have something you're happy with.

We've been busy!
Tue, 08/11/2009 - 21:32 — Norio De SousaEarlier this year, in June, we sold www.FreeArticles.co.za. The new owner, Peter Mansfield, has a ton of experience in running online businesses and has a small team dedicated to just FreeArticles.co.za. I'm confident that the site will grow in his hands and reach new heights!
Last week we started beta-testing www.Just1.co.za - a new business that makes it possible for anyone to get a web site up and running in a matter of days and for only R350. Beta-testing has gone well. Our next step is to find partners who will help us resell the product under their branding.
