		<description><![CDATA[For the most part, I&#8217;m not inclined to explain myself. If I do something, I know why I did it and if others can&#8217;t understand, or if they misunderstand me, I tend to think of that as their problem, not mine. 
In the past, this attitude has gotten me in trouble.

		<description><![CDATA[The Misconception
It&#8217;s a common occurrence to see folks who are new to SEO speaking of search engine optimization as the end all, be all of Internet marketing. They will get together in SEO forums mocking those webmasters who don&#8217;t participate in SEO, calling them stupid webmasters and patting each other on the back.

		<description><![CDATA[This idea is starting to get prevasive in the marketing world:
&#8220;CUSTOMER-MADE: â€œThe phenomenon of corporations creating goods, services and experiences in close cooperation with experienced and creative consumers, tapping into their intellectual capital, and in exchange giving them a direct say in (and rewarding them for) what actually gets produced, manufactured, developed, designed, serviced, or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great post from Seth Godin on naming things:
&#8220;Mark says &#8220;podcasting&#8221; is a bad name, and that something understandable, like &#8220;audiomag&#8221; would be better, because more people would know what it is. I guess TV should have been called &#8220;pictureradio&#8221;
I&#8217;m in awe of Seth&#8217;s ability to take complex ideas and make them simple.

&#8220;Stock people on a website decreases your credibility. No, I havenâ€™t done extensive studies on this, but I can spot stock photos of people from a mile off, and sites with it are much less likely to get my dollar than a site with a REAL [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Google is so well known for doing one thing that when they try to branch out and play other roles, people continue to see them as the old character. Sure, when Google does something like GMail or Maps, people understand why &#8211; much the [...]]]></description>

Each day, news sites are inundated with press releases about everything and anything. There are avalanches of useless &#8220;news&#8221; stories designed to promote a product, service or view point, and most are destined for the trash. There&#8217;s an old joke: if you [...]]]></description>

But that doesn&#8217;t mean serious wealth is out of reach. And, I don&#8217;t mean 6 figures or 7 figures. If all [...]]]></description>
