    • Why Google Set the Net on Fire Today [view article]
      Google raising the minimum bid to $10 per keyword for certain keywords will have the net effect of biting the hand that feeds you. The great number of small businesses, especially the do-it-yourselfers, who use Adwords will drop off in DROVES. They just can't afford to take this sort of a hit. One of my companies has been offering Adwords to our clients since Google began offering adwords and, having been in the trenches talking to the small business owners explaining to them how it works, we used to be scared to tell them that it would cost them $1 per click, let alone 10 times that amount. Besides the professionals who offer Adwords to their customers, there is a SLEW of small businesses who prefer to cut out the middleman and do it themselves so they can save some money. They are not sophisticated at all. This $10 minimum would scare the hell out of them...And that I can guarantee based on thousands of conversations we've had with them. I think Google is getting greedy and believes it can write off a huge number of its original base. Apr 16 12:54 AM
    • The Downside of Debt: Borrowers Sober Up [view article]
      I have finally wised up and come to terms with what my economics teacher had told our class 32 years ago, "with the exception of a home purchase, you should only buy what you can afford to pay cash for." This would prompt us to develop a "save and invest" mentality instead of the current "borrow and spend" mentality as well as generate in turn a great deal of "personal" wealth versus a great deal of "corporate" wealth.

    • Is OPEC Killing Itself? [view article]
      The solution is: virtual organization management. With virtual organization management, hundreds of million of cars would be off the road and the by-product of that would be cleaner air, less damage to the environment; and an explosion in-as the author suggests-innovation.

      Perhaps, the greedy and narrow-minded oil companies and global auto industry, in cooperation with their cohorts in government--I am not a conspiracy theorist--who have worked so hard over the past 60+ years to stifle innovation in the auto industry and alternative energy sector will finally come to their senses when they realize that their greed may result in their downfall. I won't hold my breath.       Apr 11 06:27 PM
