Are Indias Cyber Laws adequate?

Till over ten years back, India did not have any specific cyber laws. It was in October 2000, the (ITA) Information Technology Act came into force in India. Over the last ten years, despite the technological measures adopted, the Indian cyber laws are still grossly inadequate in relation to the contemporary situation.

Spam

There are currently some relatively good methods to block spam, but they aren't very effective and hence a new cyber law is badly required to sort out this problem.

Cyber Pornography

Though the ITA states in detail about obscene information as being cyber crime, they don’t specifically define the difference between obscene and pornography. As per India's cyber laws it is only publishing of obscene material that is an offense, but not viewing of pornography.

Cyber Phishing

As the ITA doesn't carry anything specific against cyber phishing, it is imperative that such a law is introduced at the earliest.

Privacy/ Intellectual Protection

The absence of a specific privacy law in India has resulted in a substantial loss of foreign business and it is important that a legislation addressing various privacy related issues is issued at the earliest.

Data Protection via Internet Banking

Bank transactions and information on their customers change hands several times and this information becomes all the more dangerous when it is available on the internet. Electronic Banking is a high risk area and strong cyber laws are needed to protect any leakages or data tampering

In short, an Indian cyber law has many shortcomings and is far from satisfactory and should strive to address these issues at the earliest.

The 3 Things All Affiliate Marketers Need

All affiliate marketers are constantly searching for that particular and successful market that would give them fat returns and a big paycheck.

Obviously there is no magic formula to achieve this and it is much more complicated to find a successful market

Oh boy! Wish there was a magic word – hocus pocus ! Buy my product !!!

Infact there are affiliate marketers who really think that there is a code or a magic formula that is readily available.

It is much more complicated than that.

It is only good marketing practices that have been proven to be successful and of course hard work and dedication.

Ofcourse, there are those basic tactics that have worked before with online marketing and would still work with the current online affiliate marketing world.

Mentioned below are three tips, with which you will be able to able to increase, your sales and survive in the affiliate marketing online.

1. Use unique web pages to promote each of the products that you market

Try not to load all the products together in one site so as to save some money on web hosting. It is much wiser to have a site focusing on each product.

Always include product reviews on the website so visitors will have an initial understanding on what the product can do to those who buys them. Try and include any testimonials from people who have already purchased and tried the product. This makes a lot of difference. However, try and confirm with the users that whether it is okay to use their name for marketing purposes. In most cases they would only be willing to allow you to use their details and photographs on the site of the specific product that you are marketing.

You can also write articles about the product, while highlighting its uses and try and include them on the website as an additional page. Design the pages so that they are attractive and compel and attract readers. In fact, each headline should attract the readers as to try and read more and if possible even try and contact you. Make sure that all the special points are highlighted. All this would only help your readers to learn what the page is about and what it has to offer and more than that, it makes them curious and want to find out more.

2. Always try and make available free reports / downloads to your readers


Position them in such a way in your page so that they simply cannot be missed.

If possible position them at the very top side of your page so that their presence is evident. Try and create autoresponder messages that will send mails to all those who input their personal information into your sign up box. It is said as per research that, generally a sale is closed on the seventh contact with a prospect. Ofcourse this is only market reports analyzing visitor inflow, traffic and purchases. This doesn’t take into account the number of first time visitors who just drop by and never come back.

There are only two things can possibly happen with the web page – either a closed sale or the chances are that the prospect would leave, never to return. You can try and stop this by placing useful information into their inboxes at certain times so that they are reminded about the product that they intended to purchase later. However, make sure that the content is geared and directed toward a specific reason or reasons to buy the product.

Kindly try not make it sound like a sales pitch. I have done this mistake more than once and messed up quite a number of sales and hence this advise.

Try to be subtle and casually try and focus on those important points like how the product can make things easier and enjoyable for the buyer. Again try and include subtle, but compelling subject lines in your email.

Oops another point

Try not to overuse the word “free” too much as most spam filters dump such kind of mail. Infact there are those older spam filters that dumps these kind of mail without even giving it a second look and before anyone can even read them. So try and convince the people who signed up for your free reports / downloads to make a note about your address in their spam folders and that they could be missing out on something big if they do not avail of your products and services.

3. Get the kind of traffic that is only targeted to your product

In other words, just imagine someone who visited your site, and it appears that they seem to have no interest in what the site has to offer. So it is highly likely that he or she would only move on and ever return.

Also try and write articles and get it published in article directories, ezines and other free e-reports. This would enable you to pin-point publications that are focusing on your target customers. The rest is easy, all you got to do is put up what they want and just get their interest.

My policy is to try and write a minimum of 2 articles and 2 posts per week, with at least 400 words in length. Ofcourse it can be anywhere between 250 to 600 words. It all applies to how much time you have in your hands

By continuously writing and maintaining these articles on a weekly basis, you can certainly generate as many as 100 targeted readers to your site in a day.

But remember that only 1 in a 100 people would likely to buy your product or may be interested in your services. So, if you are able to generate and deliver as much as 1,000 targeted hits for your site in a day. This indirectly means that you can make atleast 10 sales based on the average statistics.

As these three tactics that are given above does not appear to be very difficult, try and implement them weekly. All it requires is a bit of time and effort from your part.

Now try and use these tips for various affiliate marketing programs. You end up making a good source of income from this business that not all affiliate marketers are able to achieve

Why Do Many People Fail In Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate marketing and banner advertising has been around on the Web for quite sometime now, but there are still a lot of people who doesn't know much or even nothing about it.

Most of the people that don't know about affiliate marketing and has just discovered it normally thinks that they can make a quick buck or two. Well that's not the case.

To do well in affiliate-marketing is not just a one-day task.

Affiliate marketing is like an on going assignment where you have to try different things out like different advertising techniques, different ways of adding affiliate banners and text links to your site, etc. You may even have to join a number of affiliate programs just to see which ones performs the best with the other content that you already have on your site.

Another thing is that many affiliates expect to do well from just having a list of about 20 affiliated banners on one page of their site. Well that's not exactly true as people will see your web page and won't even bother clicking on any of the banners to go to your affiliated sites as your web page just looks like a link farm. How people think they can make money this way, I really don't know as affiliate marketing takes time and effort before any results can be seen.

If you are thinking of banner-advertising, ie., adding affiliate banners or text links to your site, then the best thing to do is for you to add affiliate links or banners to your site that is on the same topic as the other information on your web page. By doing this, you will not want to add too many affiliated banners or text links as it will just look like a page of links and will only turn your visitors away, about three affiliated links should be enough depending on how large the web page is.

Another important aspect in affiliate marketing is advertising or banner-advertising.

You can't expect to add affiliate material to your site and expect to receive sales straight away. If you have no traffic coming to your site, then you will not get any sales. Infact, directly advertising the affiliate links or adding the affiliate links to your website and advertising that is probably one of the most important things that you will need to do to have any chance of succeeding. This is because the more you promote your affiliate link or site that contains the affiliate links, then the more clickthru's your affiliate links are likely to receive, which is then most likely to result in more sales.

Hope your sales go thru the roof with banner-advertising and affiliate marketing

Is online dating the best way to find love

Another advantage of online dating is that when you meet someone in real life, you usually meet them because of their physical appearance. It’s the physical appearance that usually drives these types of meetings and as a result, many of them fizzle out quickly. Online dating, however, allows you to get to know the person internally, their likes and dislikes, their hobbies, their beliefs, and even what they’re looking for in a mate, all before you make that choice to meet them in person. That makes online dating the best way to find love.

Whether being downright honest is the best approach - No LIES

Make sure you resist the urge to emphasize the truth too much as there is really no need to doing so as this could only makes things complicated later. There are plenty of fish in the online dating ocean and the chances of finding someone who’s attracted to the real you is high. So, there is no need to lie or blurt out your darkest secrets.

If at all you have the urge, remember there is always a time for such things. Basically, just keep it real and the last thing you need is to worry about all the LIES you’ve spun when you’re on dates where you have scored. This is a common mistake and do try and ensure that it does not happen to you.

Often, if people are honest with themselves, they tend to know when a breakup is coming and hence are able to prepare themselves emotionally for it. However, there are the rare cases when it comes as a complete surprise, and you need to be able to do all that you can to contain yourself from outbursts. In other words, practice the Three C’s - be Calm, Cool & Collected

What is it that you are looking for in online dating?

There are people out there who are looking just for sex or one night stands and casual dating. These are people to avoid if you are looking for someone who wants to be your life partner. So you must be specific and let people know what you are really after. In other words, if you are not into night club partying or nude camps, then don’t try to impress the other person by saying so. In all likelihood, this will come back and hit you later

When it comes to online dating, there are many sites you can choose from.

Online dating typically starts by subscribing to one of these sites and then setting up your profile. Your profile will be your gateway to finding new online dates. In other words, your profile and photo will show how others will view and respond to you on the site. The profile will usually have a photo of you and a short paragraph describing who you are and what you are all about. This can be the hardest part about online dating, as most people tend to freeze when it comes to describing themselves

Dating is supposed to be fun and it shouldn’t be viewed as a job or hard work. You should be looking for fun and who knows, this could be the beginning of a beautiful relationship with someone, whom you could perhaps end up spending the rest of your life with.

Growing Online Dating Relationships

Just like regular real-world relationships, online relationships need tending, to grow over time. Here are some quick growing tips.

1. Take time and make time. Does your online date get in touch with you regularly? Do you do the same? Neglecting virtual meetings can be considered abuse or neglect, so treat each other’s time with respect. If it’s lacking, might mean time to move on.

2. Communication needs to “feel” right for both of you. If one of you is too pushy about meeting, for instance, that can give off bad vibes. So don’t rush. Take time to learn more about each other and develop trust.

3. Respect each others privacy. Don’t share personal email addresses or digital photos online, for example, if your online date sent you the information in confidence.

4. Share special online and offline fun times. Online – send greeting cards, links to favorite places to upload digital photos of your favorite pet, download music and video clips, post on favorite forums of interest. Offline- if you’re exchanging addresses or post office boxes, send print greeting cards and postcards, small items from your area (like a key chain with your state bird).

Tend your online relationship. Water it with care and over time it can sprout and grow.
