Sometimes they are so long they break into two when you send them in an email.</p>
<p>When we start creating the <a title="StartUrl - create short url" href="http://www.starturl.com">StartUrl </a>our example to follow was TinyUrl. We found that we can do better so we added the following features:</p>
<p>- top 5 urls accessed (if the url is public)<br />
- last 5 urls added in the StartUrl<br />
- a nice design that fits the website profile</p>
<p>We are working on creating an Internet Explorer extension and a Firefox extension for easy creating the short url-s directlly from these browsers. <a title="CReate short url" href="http://www.starturl.com">StartUrl </a>works on any browser and any operation system and is FREE.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really don&#8217;t understand how I ever lived without my current web host. I have being using <a title="ICD Soft" href="http://www.icdsoft.com/?aff=mmariusel.middle">ICD Host</a> for just over 4 years  now, and I can&#8217;t imagine using anything else.</p>
<p>My biggest concern with a hosting company has always been <strong>support</strong>. I don&#8217;t want to wait around for nearly two days on a help request that will probably only take five minutes to resolve. This is something that has irritated me to no end on my previous hosts. <a title="ICD Hosting" href="http://www.icdsoft.com/?aff=mmariusel.middle">ICD</a> guarantees a response within one hour and quite frequently, I have tickets resolved in under ten minutes during the day!</p>
<p>Now, with support like this I wouldn&#8217;t mind paying a premium price. I don&#8217;t though. Their most expensive package costs $10.00 (Business Package) a month , with their basic package being only $6.00 (Universal Package) and <strong>both packages include also a domain!</strong>. You really can&#8217;t go wrong with 15 gigs of transfer bandwidth for a mere $6.00.</p>
<p>The whole webhosting options you can find them <a title="ICD Host" href="http://www.icdsoft.com/?aff=mmariusel.middle">ICD Soft website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>How much money are you willing to throw away this month?</strong></p>
<p>Do you have a &#8220;money to waste&#8221; budget? Me neither. Yet most online businesses continue to waste money on Pay-Per-Click campaigns, banner ads, text links and other advertising <strong>without a clue about what&#8217;s working and what&#8217;s just sucking money</strong>.</p>
<p>Part of the reason for this waste of money is some merchants have no idea how to track their advertising return on investment (<strong>ROI</strong>), and many who do know simply do not have the technical skills to do it.</p>
<p>For me as a startup business man always the questions which is the best marketing capaign, which is the best keyword I have used in <strong>Google AdWords</strong> or <strong>Overture</strong>  campaigns.</p>
<p>What the industry needs is a <strong>plug-and-play ROI tracker</strong> that knows which campaigns are pulling and which pages are converting lookers to buyers. Oops, it&#8217;s already invented. <a title="Axandra Marketing ROI Optimizer" href="http://www.Axandra.com/go.to/fastlink2/12">AxROI &#8211; Axandra&#8217;s Marketing ROI Optimizer</a> shows you which online ads and search engine listings are sending you buyers and which ones are not.</p>
<p>To find a good marketing tracking tool allowing you to estimate the ROI(return of investment) for your campaigns was the most dificult task for me as some of the tools does not offer a free demo or a 30 day money back.</p>
<p>I am now tracking using <a title="AxRoi" href="http://www.axandra.com/go.to/fastlink2/12">AxRoi</a> the folllowing:</p>
<p>- Google AdWords campaigns<br />
- Overture campaigns<br />
- Banner clicks on other websites<br />
- Normal conversion from the free search engines</p>
<p><img id="image16" alt="axroi-main-screen.gif" src="http://www.fastlink2.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/axroi-main-screen.gif" /></p>
<p>It is a fact that <strong>You are losing money</strong> if you&#8217;re not tracking the return on investment (ROI) of your online ads. Every entrepreneur must know what works for his business in order to be successful.</p>
<p><a title="Axandra AxRoi" href="http://www.Axandra.com/go.to/fastlink2/12">Ordering is 100% risk-free</a>. Axandra offers an unconditional 30 day money back guarantee. If you don&#8217;t like <a title="AxRoi" href="http://www.Axandra.com/go.to/fastlink2/12">AxROI</a>, you&#8217;ll get your money back. It&#8217;s as easy as that.</p>
