Posted by: webmaster
By: Owen Monilla
High quality business card is a must for entrepreneurs and private individuals alike. It is one of the most popular print materials in demand in today’s market. Business card printing serves both the interest of the businesses and those of their clients.
Business cards are easily recognizable. But even though it is one of the most common prints produced by commercial printers, this isn’t to say that business cards are printed haphazardly.
Fact of the matter is business cards are designed with much thought placed in them. After all, a business card speaks volumes about you as an individual, entrepreneur and the like.
If you would like to make a great impression, then carefully plan out the design of your business card. It also helps if you have the right attitude towards business card printing. (more…)
Linking up: Search engine rankings still come down to links
Posted by: webmaster

Much has been written about link popularity and many a Webmaster will have spent hours or even days figuring out how best to improve their standing. If we concentrate on the top search engine such as Google, Yahoo and MSN, we find that link popularity is calculated as part and parcel of their complex algorithms and basically represents a measure of how many web pages link to a particular site. This in turn suggests how to establish an order of rank when viewed against sites that
compete in a similar area. Yahoo and MSN have both lagged behind Google when it comes to utilising link popularity, but in light of stiff competition they have had little choice but to re-jig their algorithms. (more…)
CafePress Stunner: Buy 3 Get 1 Free Promotion
Posted by: jjackson72
This literally came out of nowhere. Cafepress has announced that starting July 21st (today) they will be offering a buy 3, get 1 free promotion on certain styles of t-shirts. This announcement was dropped on shopkeepers by AngCP August 19th and the date was corrected to the 21st for the start on the 20th.
While I certainly do welcome this promotion, I do wish that Cafepress would have give us a little bit more time especially since shopkeepers like myself who actually promote our stores have dozens of banners that needed to be updated to reflect this. Needless to say I have been spending the entire morning doing just this rather than other things.

My Experience With Sponsoring A Race Car
Posted by: jjackson72
Some of you are aware that this year I decided to sponsor a race car at one of the local tracks here near Pittsburgh. For a few bucks I got my logo for AmericanInfidelTshirts.com on the front on the open wheel modified #9 car of Rick Huffman at Motordrome.Sponsoring this car was done for long term advertising purposes. It isn’t being done for a quick bang for my buck and I’ve already committed to doing it again next year. So far it has not netted a total return on investment but based on tracking of where my orders are coming, the first step of putting the logo on the car is having some effect on sales. I have also gotten several emails from people that have loved the site even though they haven’t bought anything. That’s a good thing as well. Word of mouth is a great advertising tool. (more…)

Cafepress QC Report
Posted by: jjackson72
I made another purchase from my Cafepress shops the other week just to check up on their product quality. I think it is a good thing to consider whenever you have anyone doing work for you to make sure they are doing it well.And as many of you know I’ve had my beefs with them in the past although things have been better as of late. Until this last order.I will give CP credit. Their print quality on the colored shirts is still second to none and the white t-shirts are superb. But each of the four bumper stickers I received had the same problem; the image was too large and bled off the left and the bottom. (more…)
