Going Global

Thursday Apr 17, 2008

Global expansion is something large corporations do all the time. It's also good idea for any affiliate marketer to consider. I recently launched a Canadian shopping portal, a Faire du shopping which is a French shopping portal. That's not all either.

I also re-launched my UK shopping portal and my UK Auction Portal. There are some very good reasons for this, not the least of which is that the dollar has steeply declined in value. Ron Paul nuts not withstanding I look at the dollar's decline as potentially quite a good thing since everything in the United States is cheaper including PPC.

Is the UK going green?

Sunday Dec 2, 2007

Is the UK going green?

Concerns about privatizing tax collections have included privacy issues, the integrity of the collections agencies selected and the consequences of an incentive-based collections system.

Are Sales Tax Rates Going Up As the Economy Goes Down?

Tuesday Feb 20, 2007

The semester before I left for law school, my best friend, Bren, and I packed our stuff into my old Buick Regal (the former family car), affectionately named “Bessie” because she looked like a cow. We were on a mission to examine East Coast law schools that were still on my short list. It was easy enough to noodle up I-95 from Raleigh, NC, with stops in, among other places, Washington, DC (to visit Georgetown) and Philadelphia, PA (to visit Temple). We also had a trip to Atlantic City planned but that’s another post altogether…
