He was a little old man, and he was confused. All around him were huge, confusing technological marvels, and he had no clue what he was really looking for…or at, for that matter.
I was on commission, so the higher-end merchandise meant a bigger commission for me.

Advertising Is Dead! Viva le SEO! by Mike Banks Valentine
The King is dead! Long live the King!
The death of Louis XIV. was announced by the captain of the
bodyguard from a window of the state apartment. Raising his

voice, "Le Roi est mort!" Then seizing another staff, he
flourished it in the air as he shouted, "Vive le Roi!"

account the time difference, it was about 2PM there. He called
to complain that the ad he placed with us two weeks ago, hadn’t
produced any leads. While he was venting, I looked up the ad he
had submitted.
He was in an affiliate program, and they provide a personalized
web site, which not only gives information about the program,
but also tracks the leads. He didn’t include the web site in his
ad, and his only method of contact was by email Read more…
