What do you think about the subscribe buttons on this site?
I always wondered where people got that nice list of buttons that offer you more than one way to subscribe to their feed and today I finally found the simplest answer to that question!
Below is a screenshot of the many services you can add to your list (but of course don’t go too crazy, sometimes less is more and if you haven’t heard of them you probably shouldn’t have it on your site!)
The tool is located on the TopRank Blog at http://www.toprankblog.com/tools/rss-buttons/
Not only can you choose between the number of options and images you display but you can also select your method of output. You decide whether you want to host the images and code on your own website or if you just want to simplify it and use their premade links. An added plus is the ability to customize the links to your specific blogging or cms platform, definitely handy if you’re not totally sure what you’re doing!
Check it out today! Cheers!

Many internet marketers agree that a conversion ratio, between website traffic and website sales, of between 1% and 3% seems to be the industry norm and that 2% is a good average ratio. What this means is that, on average, only 2 out of every 100 visitors will actually become a customer.
Webmasters often make the mistake of only focusing on ways to attract more traffic instead of also finding ways of converting more visitors into customers. However, more and more webmasters are realizing that website success is a two tier approach, namely:
1) Getting Traffic, and
2) Converting Traffic into sales.

It can seem a little overwhelming to come up against the need to present knowledge based information on your site. Even more intimidating is the possibility of launching a business blog (b-blog). You may feel there is little to say and that it would be hard to maintain ongoing posts about your business, products or industry for any length of time.

At first blush, Blog Marketing shouldn’t be much different then “old fashioned” affiliate marketing. However, a Blog brings with it a new set of challenges along with some powerful new ways of getting your message out. Let’s take a closer look…
I’ve been a web marketer since the late 1990’s, for the majority of my career, I’ve developed plain old HTML websites. Those HTML relics were clunky, problematic to maintain and didn’t lend themselves to much in the way of updating. Basically we’d develop a web page, do a little SEO tweaking, once we got it where we wanted it, we’d …ah, forget about it. Now early on this was fine, everyone did it this way and it just worked. However, the new millennium brought with it a brand new platform —The Blog!
