Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is getting new customers from search engines like Google, Bing etc.

Every business needs to advertise to get new clients. But if you are in the start phase of running your own business, or even if you are just trying to get more clients to your existing business and using your advertising budget means no shoes for the kids, it’s important to have ways to advertise that are cheap and effective.
A new article on Australian Business Success looks at a cheap and effective way to get clients rolling in the door of your service or product related business.
If you have seen a big drop in traffic to your web site on or around the 23 April 2012, there is a pretty good chance you have been hit by either the Panda or Penguin update to Google’s algorithm.
These updates have targeted SPAM in the Google Index.
The reason your web site has been affected may be simple or complex, but fixing it doesn’t need to be:
1) Fix on page SPAM issues on your web site
2) If you can, fix the SPAM issues on backlink pages
3) So called ‘Negative SEO’ isn’t really possible, don’t worry about it, and don’t spend time trying to delete backlinks
4) Add QUALITY backlinks (use a combination of your site’s url, targeted keywords, and non-related words i.e ‘click here’)

The domains relating to 3D Printing were inspired by an article I read recently on the coming 3D Printing technology. I first saw 3D printing around about 10 years ago in an advanced manufacturing research facility doing rapid prototyping. The 3D printers are rapidly decreasing in price and at some point will enter the general consumer market.
Is it possible that this will revolutionise the way we shop on the internet?
Instead of actually buying a physical product, you buy a file, download it and print the product from your 3D printer?
Whilst this might seem far fetched at the household level, take a bit of a think about niche distributed manufacturing and an evolution of modern retail shopping. Currently centralised (big factory) is the main game, but what if you could download the design, customise it and then have it made to order from your computer or mobile phone and picked up from a distibution point.
This little cartoon sent to me on Facebook was the inspiration? for the other web site domain:
Aren’t they a cute couple?
