How to Get People to the Site
I just launched a website, and I am having difficulty
getting people to this site. I was wondering if you
guys have any suggestions on how to help me with it.
The site is at http://www.adposter.net
I sometimes wonder if this business is even viable
nowadays, because I just took so much time and effort,
and now it's slow.
Thank you for the suggestions... Read

We've started our project ... and we really need some
reviews from experienced people :)
There's only one disadvantage: the page is on German,
so if you do'nt understand it, simply say something
about design, or the kind of content you can understand...

Adding New Keywords
I am at a loss here and have been banging my head for 3 months now.
My site has the most unbelievably slow loading pages. I am losing
members and customers over this... I rank in the 14% for speed on
Alexa. Some people have timed 12 minutes load times on dial up.
We just switched over to this server (tpchost) and uploaded our site
onto monster commerce software. We have 2 java applets on the front
page, 1 is in the top section shown on every page. But the speed issue
is on every single page on our site, even ones with out the javas,
and on the software system side as well...
S o my question is, what can I do to find out where the problems lies?

Fraud Through eBay!
The other day I had a new client sign up for a hosting account. This
person had 'eBay' within their domain name. I thought it was a bit
weird, but figured it was a hard-core Ebay seller or something.
Well, last night we received a call from someone that received
an email that traced back to us. (see below) We found out after
that the domain didn't even exist and this person was using our
Ip address to link to, like this: 123.123.123.123~ebay/
Of course, we immediately suspended the account. Here's
an excerpt...
To all: Please Beware!! We are investigating. To all web hosts:
Ever had something like this happen? If so, what did you do about
it or how did you handle it? Read Replies

Gets an Evaluation
Many Internet users shop online to save time and money, but a collaborative
study from the Business Internet Group of San Francisco (BIG-SF) and
TeaLeaf Technology designed to evaluate the performance of leading
e-commerce sites found that Web application failures caused consumers
to lose time and e-tailers to lose money.
The report revealed undetected Web site errors on 10 of the 16
sites (62.5 percent) that were evaluated, resulting in an average
of $278 in lost revenue per transaction. Consumers typically spent
7 minutes on these error-filled sites, hoping to navigate their
way through the transaction...

Meta
Tags - A Final Answer?
I am hearing and reading conflicting information on which meta tags
really matter to search engines. I also occasionally find what I think
are "non-standard" meta tags. I even spoke with a self proclaimed
"SEO Master" who suggested that if all of the following tags are not
used, then "your meta tags are bad." 
So, can someone provide a definitive answer as to what currently is
recommended? Are all of these nesessary? Does the < meta http-equiv'="title"
content="" > offer another way to identify your keywords to the all-important
(non-meta tag) < title >< / title >?
Are the multiple "descriptions" below useful? ...

"'And now,' as Paul Harvey would say, 'for the rest
of the story...'
Opera 7.x does support CSS scrollbar color property
declarations, but it's not enabled by default, nor is
the setting available through the UI. The user has to
manually add a line to the Opera6.ini file.
I may be a bit biased, because as a matter of course
the second grouping of CSS property declarations after
BODY on any stylesheet we produce consists of eight
lines defining the properties of the scrollbars, but
it's all good, and we do it because it can be done..."

Topic: Use the Right Approach to
Creativity
Post:
I am trying to learn Flash at the moment and have
now realised where I have gone wrong. I am trying to use Flash
to imagine and create something when what I should be doing
is creating it in my head, then using the tools within Flash,
which I have learned to use, to make that happen on the screen.
This will hopefully help my progress, as it has been slow
so far. I am just learning it to use for fun as opposed to
work, but it is still clogging along....
