“Just how much online ad money spills forth from the gambling industry slot machine is unclear. However, insiders estimate the largest Web gambling firm, PartyGaming, spends anywhere from $100 million to $200 million trying to reach the U.S. audience; the company spends on a variety of offline and online ad media. According to PartyGaming's 2005 annual report, about $860 million -- 88 percent of its total 2005 revenues -- was derived from its poker operation, and 34 percent of those poker monies were generated through its affiliate network. Nearly 84% of PartyGaming's online players are U.S.-based” According to a report published in 2006, on the brink of enactment of Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act/2006

SEs stoped accepting paid listings, PPC advertisements. Many hoped the Industry will crush and the Google, Overture and other SEs will feel a major thrash in Ad Revenues generated either from paid listing or PPC programs. But if retrospect and see whole gamut from another angle- due to the Great Death of the Major Online Casinos the small players and popping up just like wild fire since 2006 even more vigorously. If you surf a while any Casino Directory like http://www.pro360.com/ you will be amazed by the size of the directories. More than thousand online casino, gambling and gaming sites are reviewed so far at Pro360.com

If you find the root of the evil- you find the die hard marketing of the affiliate marketers. Marc Lesnick, who runs the Casino Affiliate Convention conference series, estimates the average experienced gambling affiliate site operator rakes in anywhere from $2,000 to $25,000 a month through ad commissions from real money gambling sites.

Online gambling is becoming harder and harder for Americans to take part in because of the U.S. government. I know many of my readers bet online and are often in a fix as to what casino to go for, what is highly recommended. Pro360.com offers you to pick the casinos by choosing them ranked or game-wise. In the ranked order, the casinos are listed according to their ranking. Details of bonuses, editor rating, player rating and reviews are given. In game based ranking, the casinos are ranked according to the ranking of the particular game at the casino. The popular games available are Blackjack, Video Poker, Baccarat and Keno among others. They even have a wide selection of articles on betting, online gambling, what online casino to choose and so on.

At Online Casino Reviews they list which casinos are open to Americans so you avoid going through the hassle of downloading the program and having to delete it because it isn’t open to you. For each entry you will find a detailed review, the casino certificate, the available bonus, the editor rating and also the players rating. If you are about to take part in online gambling, take security provisions seriously. The reviews will help you out...

A Few Facts that Jerked my Mind:

Fact A: US online apparel sales

According to one estimate, US online apparel sales (including accessories and footwear) reached $18.3 billion in 2006 and replaced computer hardware/software as the largest online retail category i.e a 31% increase over the previous year. However, US online apparel sales constitutes only 8% of the total transactions, many optimist online marketing experts expects the figure to grow in future.

Fact B: US consumer package goods (CPG)

The food and beverage category now leads the US consumer package goods (CPG) industry in online advertising, but in 2006 it still spent only a little over 2% of its total $8.6 billion advertising spending budget online. The CPG Online report analyzes the online spending trends of one of the largest and most influential advertising categories. Representing a large part of the category, food and beverage advertisers cut spending in every major media last year—except the Internet, and eMarketer estimates they will spend $288 million advertising online in 2007, a 36.6% increase over last year.

eMarketer estimates that “US retail e-commerce sales (excluding travel) will reach $131 billion this year. As the online channel matures, from now to 2011, the annual average growth rate will slow to 17.5% (contrasting 24.7% reported in the period 2003-05), and increased spending by existing online buyers–rather than new buyers coming online–will be the driving factor.”

However, if you see the report as a whole there are still great day ahead for the online marketers.

According to another report on total online population countrywide US Online User penetration is only 63%, Germany 47.8%, followed by other emerging markets like China- 10.2% , India-2.3%. In my country India, where total Credit Card penetration is not more than 2% on the date, but the percentage hopefully to increase by 10% in next course of 5-7 years, followed by extensive Micro-Credit Financing by NBFCs. Increased issue of Credit Cards, more research and implementation of internet security provisions will definitely boost the online transactions in developing countries like India and China, worldwide in overall…

India bears great potentiality into the future, where the real consuming class/ the middle class people is to hit 63% of the total population by 2011. Luxury, Consumer Durable, Electronics, and Jewelry are among the hot favorites in the online tray of these burgeoning Middle-Class Consumers. These class of people bears large propensity to consumption. Specially, in the metropolies (where retail markets like Pentaloon & BigBazar is available) the middle-class spending lavishly on luxury and household goods. The giant retail chains like Petnaloon has even camouflaged recently on Cyber Media by introducing FutureBazar.com. In the next 3-5 years I guess, FutureBazar.com will even bit eBay.in on total volume of online transactions.

So I think, there is every possibility for a small retailer or whole-seller to nab the market from the clutches of the Big Retail Chains, by implementing technology driven sales, adding value addition in services. By the word technology driven sales, I beg your notice to the Online Marts like- US-Canadian Gift & Flower Site Sendluv.com . Sebdluve.com provide need-based sales to its customers, shipping and typically provide concessions on costlier gift items too.

In every bloggers life comes a special day - the day they first launch a new blog. Now unless you went out and purchased someone else's blog chances are your blog launched with only one very loyal reader - you. Maybe a few days later you received a few hits when you told your sister, father, girlfriend and best friend about your new blog but that's about as far you went when it comes to finding readers.

Here are the top 10 techniques new bloggers can use to find readers. These are tips specifically for new bloggers, those people who have next-to-no audience at the moment and want to get the ball rolling.

It helps if you work on this list from top to bottom as each technique builds on the previous step to help you create momentum. Eventually once you establish enough momentum you gain what is called "traction", which is a large enough audience base (about 500 readers a day is good) that you no longer have to work too hard on finding new readers. Instead your current loyal readers do the work for you through word of mouth.

Top 10 Tips

10. Write at least five major "pillar" articles. A pillar article is a tutorial style article aimed to teach your audience something. Generally they are longer than 500 words and have lots of very practical tips or advice. This article you are currently reading could be considered a pillar article since it is very practical and a good "how-to" lesson. This style of article has long term appeal, stays current (it isn’t news or time dependent) and offers real value and insight. The more pillars you have on your blog the better.

9. Write one new blog post per day minimum. Not every post has to be a pillar, but you should work on getting those five pillars done at the same time as you keep your blog fresh with a daily news or short article style post. The important thing here is to demonstrate to first time visitors that your blog is updated all the time so they feel that if they come back tomorrow they will likely find something new. This causes them to bookmark your site or subscribe to your blog feed.

You don't have to produce one post per day all the time but it is important you do when your blog is brand new. Once you get traction you still need to keep the fresh content coming but your loyal audience will be more forgiving if you slow down to a few per week instead. The first few months are critical so the more content you can produce at this time the better.

8. Use a proper domain name. If you are serious about blogging be serious about what you call your blog. In order for people to easily spread the word about your blog you need a easily rememberable domain name. People often talk about blogs they like when they are speaking to friends in the real world (that's the offline world, you remember that place right?) so you need to make it easy for them to spread the word and pass on your URL. Try and get a .com if you can and focus on small easy to remember domains rather than worry about having the correct keywords (of course if you can get great keywords and easy to remember then you’ve done a good job!).

7. Start commenting on other blogs. Once you have your pillar articles and your daily fresh smaller articles your blog is ready to be exposed to the world. One of the best ways to find the right type of reader for your blog is to comment on other people’s blogs. You should aim to comment on blogs focused on a similar niche topic to yours since the readers there will be more likely to be interested in your blog.

Most blog commenting systems allow you to have your name/title linked to your blog when you leave a comment. This is how people find your blog. If you are a prolific commentor and always have something valuable to say then people will be interested to read more of your work and hence click through to visit your blog.

6. Trackback and link to other blogs in your blog posts. A trackback is sort of like a blog conversation. When you write a new article to your blog and it links or references another blogger's article you can do a trackback to their entry. What this does is leave a truncated summary of your blog post on their blog entry - it's sort of like your blog telling someone else’s blog that you wrote an article mentioning them. Trackbacks often appear like comments.

This is a good technique because like leaving comments a trackback leaves a link from another blog back to yours for readers to follow, but it also does something very important - it gets the attention of another blogger. The other blogger will likely come and read your post eager to see what you wrote about them. They may then become a loyal reader of yours or at least monitor you and if you are lucky some time down the road they may do a post linking to your blog bringing in more new readers.

5. Encourage comments on your own blog. One of the most powerful ways to convince someone to become a loyal reader is to show there are other loyal readers already following your work. If they see people commenting on your blog then they infer that your content must be good since you have readers so they should stick around and see what all the fuss is about. To encourage comments you can simply pose a question in a blog post. Be sure to always respond to comments as well so you can keep the conversation going.

4. Submit your latest pillar article to a blog carnival. A blog carnival is a post in a blog that summarizes a collection of articles from many different blogs on a specific topic. The idea is to collect some of the best content on a topic in a given week. Often many other blogs link back to a carnival host and as such the people that have articles featured in the carnival often enjoy a spike in new readers.

To find the right blog carnival for your blog, do a search at blogcarnival.com.

3. Submit your blog to blogtopsites.com. To be honest this tip is not going to bring in a flood of new readers but it's so easy to do and only takes five minutes so it's worth the effort. Go to Blog Top Sites, find the appropriate category for your blog and submit it. You have to copy and paste a couple of lines of code on to your blog so you can rank and then sit back and watch the traffic come in. You will probably only get 1-10 incoming readers per day with this technique but over time it can build up as you climb the rankings. It all helps!

2. Submit your articles to EzineArticles.com. This is another tip that doesn’t bring in hundreds of new visitors immediately (although it can if you keep doing it) but it's worthwhile because you simply leverage what you already have - your pillar articles. Once a week or so take one of your pillar articles and submit it to Ezine Articles. Your article then becomes available to other people who can republish your article on their website or in their newsletter.

How you benefit is through what is called your "Resource Box". You create your own resource box which is like a signature file where you include one to two sentences and link back to your website (or blog in this case). Anyone who publishes your article has to include your resource box so you get incoming links. If someone with a large newsletter publishes your article you can get a lot of new readers at once.

1. Write more pillar articles. Everything you do above will help you to find blog readers however all of the techniques I’ve listed only work when you have strong pillars in place. Without them if you do everything above you may bring in readers but they won’t stay or bother to come back. Aim for one solid pillar article per week and by the end of the year you will have a database of over 50 fantastic feature articles that will work hard for you to bring in more and more readers.

I hope you enjoyed my list of traffic tips. Everything listed above are techniques I’ve put into place myself for my blogs and have worked for me, however it's certainly not a comprehensive list. There are many more things you can do. Finding readers is all about testing to see what works best for you and your audience and I have no doubt if you put your mind to it you will find a balance that works for you.

Canadian retail e-commerce just tallied its fifth straight year of double-digit growth, yet online sales still account for less than 1% of the total retail market, according to Statistics Canada's "2006 Survey of Electronic Commerce and Technology."

Nearly half of Canadian retail firms now have a Web site, compared to the 42% that did in 2005. The percentage is even higher among companies with 100 employees or more, of which 88% have a Web site.Online sales more than doubled in Canada from 2003-2006. eMarketer expects the average amount that Canadians spend online will grow strongly over the next three years. Seasoned online buyers (rather than new ones) will drive overall market growth.

Mr. Grau also notes that "plenty of consumers are held back from online shopping because they do not want to pay for shipping or they are concerned that it will be difficult to return an item purchased online if it fails to meet expectations." Multi-channel retailers can avoid this by offering in-store pickup and returns, he says.
