For those of you who know me you?ve gotten the message that I am passionate about customer privacy. What kind of an Email Marketer would I be if I wasn?t?
First off, if you don't have a privacy policy on your website stop reading this Email Marketing article and get one. I mean it, it is important.
If you do have a privacy policy, here are some things you will want to make sure your privacy policy covers or includes:
-How you treat Email addresses that are entrusted to you (when someone subscribes to your Email newsletter list or sends you an Email message).
-How people can take back their Email addresses and get off your list (un-subscribing).
-Your mailing address and contact Email address.
Why the mailing address and contact Email address?
It is not a law or anything but it just makes sense. Your willingness to share your postal address and some way for website and email visitors to contact you says a lot about your company. It also falls in line with the Can-Spam act (US Legislation) regarding what has to be included in Email marketing messages.
Lots of companies don't think privacy policies are important. They should. In some countries posting a privacy policy that is accessible to the public is either considered good business practice or law. Canada, for example, has specific privacy legislation. Certain types of businesses have to post privacy policies that the public can access (the best place for this is a website/Blog).
And if your home country doesn't have any privacy legislation posting a privacy policy is still a good idea. It shows:
*You care about customer privacy issues (which is a hot topic in the media and in conversations about business ethics).
*You are willing to go beyond the minimum requirements of your geographic location.
*It equips your website/blog for world-wide distribution, regardless of where someone is who is partaking of your website/blog/email marketing campaigns.
If you are still reading this article and you did not heed my earlier advice to get a privacy policy, go get one now!
If you need some help, check out some privacy policies on your favorite websites. Most privacy policies are not the kind of thing you read on a Sunday afternoon while you are lounging about in your pajamas, but reading a variety of privacy policies will give you an idea of what they are all about.

The Worst Internet Marketing Strategy Ever?
The Worst Internet Marketing Strategy Ever?
by: Jason Potash
Many people are downright frustrated.
And when you look at their internet marketing strategy, it's no surprise.
Yet, they all fall into a classic trap that can ruin your chances of online success before you even get off the ground.
Have you heard about the ultimate short-cut to success?
Ultimate short-cut? That's right.
Many are led to believe that this is the holy grail of marketing online.
But, if this is your idea of a perfect internet marketing strategy, think again.
Here's how it works...
It's easy. Create a crappy product and contact every 'sap' who has an opt-in list of 40,000 subscribers or a website that gets a few hundred hits a day. Then ask them all to promote your stuff.
Works like a charm, doesn't it?
If you've ever been on the other end of the inbox, you know how annoying this can be.

Poor Credit Home Loan ? Get The Mortgage Loan You Want
Poor Credit Home Loan ? Get The Mortgage Loan You Want
by: Carrie Reeder
Having poor credit alone cannot hold you back from getting the home loan you want. Buying a home that is everything you want in a home, is a very exciting experience. The blemishes on your credit history will not alone keep you from getting the home you want and the home you deserve.
Here are some things to keep in mind when moving forward in the application process to get your home loan:
Contact or apply to many different lenders or brokers ? Online you can fill out many mortgage applications where the lender or mortgage service company does not pull your credit history. If they don't ask for your social security number, they usually cannot pull your credit. Brokers usually use the initial application or inquiry form and what you tell them about your credit to make a decision about whether they should pursue the application and pull your credit or not. Many lenders...

Journal ? Rock Climbs
Journal ? Rock Climbs
by: Rick Chapo
Rock climbing is a great way to challenge yourself and get a heck of a view. Alas, your experiences can fade with time. The best way to prevent this is to keep a journal for rock climbs.
Journal ? Rock Climbs
Take a minute to give some consideration to your most recent rock climbing experience. What sticks out in your mind? Did you go bouldering at Joshua Tree for the weekend? Hit Red River Gorge in Kentucky? Now think about the first time you ever went rock climbing. Undoubtedly, you remember few things about the geography, people you went with and the particular rock climbing routes. The experiences you?ve forgotten are lost to time. If you keep a rock climbing journal, this won?t be the case.
A good rock climbing journal combines a number of characteristics. First, it should be compact so you don?t have to take up unnecessary space for other things. Second, it should have a case to protect it...

Facts about Dog Agility and Equipment
by: Brad Carlson
Dog agility trials are becoming more and more popular the world over. They began in England, as so many good things, do, but "agility fever" quickly spread all over the globe. Now there are clubs and events everywhere that there are dogs.
Some clubs include the Kennel Club (in the U.K.), the United States Dog Agility Association (USDAA), the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Agility Association of Canada (AAC). However, you need not be affiliated with or even live near a club or training facility to enjoy the sport of dog agility
Dogs are intelligent creatures, and they love a challenge. As the aforementioned kennel clubs are well aware, every breed has its own strengths and assets, both physically and intellectually. It's great fun to explore what your dog can do, and even train for competitions!
Even if you train your dog on your own dog agility course, and don't wish to...

Handling Rejection
by: Allan Cowley
Everybody suffers rejection at some time or another in their life. The first step in handling rejection is to recognise that rejection is a necessary part of our private and professional lives. No success is achievable without encountering rejection of some form along the way. It encourages us to hone our skills.
Let me use an example. Imagine that you are the author of a novel. In order to get your novel published you are going to have to send a manuscript to as many publishers as possible. Unless you get lucky, you are likely to have a very high rejection rate. However, this should not be viewed as failure, but merely as a part of the natural process of success. Every road to success includes backward steps as well as forward.
Publishing is famous for the high rates of rejection that new authors encounter. If the publishers you have been in contact with are complimentary about your work, then you...

How to Naturally Improve Your Vision
by: Ruth Bird
What is 2020 vision?
20/20 vision is a term used to express normal visual acuity (the clarity or sharpness of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet.
20/20 does not necessarily mean perfect vision. 20/20 vision only indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance. There are other important vision skills, including peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focusing ability and color vision that contribute to your overall visual ability

Latest Fishing Technology And Fishing Gears
by: Dylan Miles
Fish finder
Imagine you?re sitting out there on your fishing boat, you whip out a cool gadget you just bought from the Internet and after a couple of beeps, the device tells you that there is a school of fish some 3 meters or so away from you. Now, how cool can that be? It?s almost like an ultrasound scan of the sea or the lake that tells you exactly where the fish are.
But of course, this is not news because many different companies have developed their own ultrasound-like fish finding gadgets a long time ago. But Maptech?s new i3 module is the first of its kind. It?s the first ever touch screen, hi-resolution 3D Fishfinger. Yes, you can literally see the kind of fish that?s swimming around under your boat, in super clear images and in real time.
The i3 Touch Screen command on the fishing gadget can help you navigate the floor of the lake or sea with a radar, combine...
