Re: Why is Adobe #1 for the keyword "Click Here" in Google? - Hi, Yes, most people need to focus on link development to increase their search engine rankings. But, if we analyzed the back links of Adobe I will bet that the majority of links were not purchased, not part of a link exchange, or even obtained by some internet marketer that worked for Adobe. The majority of links came because Adobe created a good product & a free download for that good product. That is something to keep in mind when promoting a website or trying to obtain links. Is it more cost effective to buy links or save your advertising dollars and just create a reason to be noticed? Jeff
Re: iPhone Apps: Biz Idea! - San Diego, California – Got an idea for a killer iPhone app? With more than 1 billion applications sold since its launch last July, Apple’s iPhone App Store has become one of the fastest-growing tech enterprises in recent history, and gained a reputation as something of a developer’s goldmine. Success stories such as that of Ethan Nicholas, whose iShoot app has earned him $900,000 in eight months, have only added to the App Store’s appeal for would-be iPhone entrepreneurs. “The runaway success of the App Store has created the legend of the iPhone millionaire,” says Ian Maskell, principal of iPhone App Freelancer, a company aiming to make it possible to get your idea into the App Store without technical knowledge and minimal financial outlay. “Everywhere we went people would say: ‘I’ve got a great idea for an app.’ We saw an opportunity to level the playing field and allow anyone the ability to become the next success story, regardless of their ability to program or write code.” So Maskell launched iPhone App Freelancer, a website offering the ability to turn great ideas into apps with little or no programming knowledge. Rob Shoesmith, a 27-year-old garbage collector from Coventry – England, submitted one of the first ideas to iPhone App Freelancer for development. Shoesmith says he has only had an iPhone for a few months, but has been following the growth of the App Store since its launch. He wants to keep the specifics of his app under wraps until its launch, but describes it as a user-generated advice service.
Re: your nav bar - [quote="jvprosperity":1i029054]when I originally checked on Friday I was running Win2K and Firefox. I got an upgrade on the weekend and now am running WinXP and Firefox 2.0.0.6. If you did make your modifications then yes I'm seeing the nav bar now.[/quote:1i029054] Hi, Andy I had emailed the FlashVortex people and they told me something I'd done wrong in re-naming the file, so I fixed that. Glad to hear you can now see it. However, using the bootstraps and suspenders approach, I've left the animated bar at the top of every page, but at the bottom is the regular html-based nav bar, plus a link to the Adobe Flash Player telling people to download it!
