I would like to talk about a case study for a large start up I worked on for over eight months in the Australian and US market. This client originally came to the company with the typical link building and SEO problems. They had been using a SEO company that had an extensive link network and was using less than impressive SEO tactics and methodologies over the last 12 months. The company was also losing considerable revenue as a direct result of this low quality SEO work. So, I had to scramble and develop a revival strategy for this client.
Finding a suitable link prospect is a complex task for webmasters in terms of their link building tactics. Link building strategies used to be a prominent weapon a couple of years back. The SEO process now is no more a method of building hundreds of links overnight. These methods are completely off track, useless, and may even affect a website's rank, resulting in its continuous downfall. Whether you are a business owner, a blogger, or a webmaster, you need to be aware of the continuous Google updates. This helps you to drive your website's SEO into the right direction.
The topic of SEO these days typically brings about a deer in headlights mentality. With dynamically adaptive search algorithms and Google working around the clock to separate the wheat from the chaff - even seasoned web marketers treating SEO with caution is understandable. So what can you do to improve some key Google ranking signals today? Here are some interesting ways you can think of improving your organic search rank from Google, others, and us.
As a small online retailer your life can be pretty tough, especially when you are just starting out. SEO is a tough game to play for anyone, but if you happen to be in a space already covered by a larger retailer (such as the various Amazons of the world) it can be hard to get off the ground. The first step to success is learning to understand your disadvantages. Just as David didn't attempt to out-muscle Goliath, you shouldn't try to beat Amazon at their own game (unless you have a few million to invest into the process).
When the Disavow tool was announced by Matt Cutts at Pubcon, this year, there was an uproar of mixed reactions for SEOs across the digital world. Some had a good feeling about and others had their doubts about the real reason behind the introduction, even though Bing has had a similar tool in existence for a while.
How to tackle huge Enterprise SEO projects by working with your team, setting expectations, owing SEO, and being an awesome communicator.
How to start managing a large e-commerce website: from infrastructure and seasonal products to working with an awesome team at the enterprise-level.
The ultimate goal for getting top rankings is not the rankings themselves, but actually getting more qualified traffic and from that, more sales, leads, subscriptions or whatever your macro conversion is...it's not the higher organic position that gets the highest click share in SERPs. Not always, at least.
Harry Clark is the Client Marketing Manager at London based Award Winning Digital Agency Cyber-Duck Ltd. Harry recently attended the 2012 SXSW Interactive festival and wanted to share some of the information learnt from a Panel discussion featuring Danny Sullivan, Duane Forrester and Matt Cutts....
Music is one of the most popular forms of entertainment and one of the most traded digital assets on the planet. Ever since Napster's debut in 1999 musicians, record labels and the RIAA have all singled out file sharing as the overwhelming source for loss of revenue in record sales. I have always wondered why they get to point all of these crazy fingers without highlighting how absolutely awful they are at marketing their products on the Internet – not to mention how little they seem to care about the revenue they lose to their own horribleness.
Imagine this. Your prospective client types in a phrase or keyword into the search box on Google. She finds your site listed near the top of the search results, and clicks through to it. She is delighted by finding exactly what she was looking for.
Normally as SEOs our focus is on giving Google and other search engines as much access to the sites we are working on as possible. There are times however in which privacy is a good thing. We have found blocking bots based on the user-agent very useful for development servers where you might be hosting multiple sites which you do not want crawled or indexed.

When's the Last Time You Said "Yes" But Did "No" ?
February 16th, 2012 by Joel D CanfieldMeeting organizers know too well that if you get 40 "yes" RSVPs, you'll get 12 attendees, maybe even less.
When did it become so acceptable to say yes, I'll be there, and then not only fail to show, but to simply ignore the entire thing?
Yes, I'm a crusty old codger who believes that manners matter as a foundation of business. But I'll bet even you young folks would prefer to get 13 yeses and 27 maybes than have those 27 people say something they don't really mean.
Don't use your RSVP as a way to reward the meeting organizer for having a good idea. Don't use it to fill up your calendar so you look busy (nobody cares if you're busy; they're too busy to notice.) Don't tell them what you hope to do, tell them what you intend to do.
Hold yourself accountable for keeping your word in even the little things. It's the only way to be absolutely sure you'll be keeping your word when the big things come along.
Besides, your prospects might be watching, and you know you want them to think you keep your word, right?

For those of you who have never heard local classic rock cover band Peaces live and in person, do yourself a favor and find yourself at their next show. Led by an ass-kicking father-son duo and a phenom who can simultaneously play the keyboard and drums, Peaces blew my mind. Those lucky enough to be at Paddy's on Saturday night got to hear all their favorite claassic rock songs...with shredding guitar solos being played in their face! Some songs even sounded better than the orginal, and the gods of rock were pleased with the copious tributes of beer and shots that were drank in honor of Peaces and their kick-ass music. Hats off to Paddys for booking the band, and providing all the delicious, ice-cold beverages...

CD (Item 595332) Odeon/Bomba (Japan), 1972 — Condition: New Copy
Pure magic from the young Egberto Gismonti – a sublime early record for Odeon in Brazil, and worlds different from his later fame on ECM! The album's got a great sense of depth – tunes that begin with Gismonti's personal vocals and guitar, but which quickly move into offbeat arrangements that are as inventive as they are ambitious! The vibe is very similar to his classic album from 1973 – Arvore – and is colored with the sort of soul and vibrant energy that you'd also hear in Milton Nascimento's best work of the time – and that of the whole Minas Gerais gernation. Gismonti plays a fair bit of piano – even some Fender Rhodes, which is great – and Lindolfo Gaya helped with arrangements, which gives the whole thing that sweeping, majestic feel of the best EMI/Odeon sides from this time in Brazil. Titles include "Janela De Ouro", "Vila Rica 1720", "Eterna", "Ano Zero", "Prum Samba", "Aqua & Vinho", "Mule Rendeira", and "Volante". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Gammons quotes Rangers official: 'We got Upton'
Originally published: Dec 7, 2012 - 10:43 am
MLB Network's Peter Gammons was present and recently tweeted about some of the "fun" surrounding the endless trade rumors about Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton:
If you don't believe the multi-team Upton trade talk, Wednesday night a Rangers official called an Astros officisl and said, "we got Upton."
— Peter Gammons (@pgammo) December 7, 2012
Upton has been part of trade rumors for the last three offseasons, and his name has been one of the most talked about at this year's gathering.
Obviously nothing is official at this point and Gammons' tweet could indicate just how close the trade was to going down before the plug was pulled. It could also indicate that the deal is close to consummation.
Thursday, talk of complicated three and four-team deals surfaced with Upton being one of the centerpieces for potential swaps. Other teams that have been rumored in such deals are the Tampa Bay Rays, Cleveland Indians, and of course, the Texas Rangers.
Based on Gammons' tweet, Friday could be an interesting day on the Upton front.

Minneapolis Native American liaison position may fade into maze of 'minority affairs' By Gary Blair Why did Pat Amo leave her position of nearly eight years as the City of Minneapolis' Native American liaison? And now that she's gone does the city plan to fill the vacancy with another Native American? These are just some of the questions and concerns that the PRESS has heard since Amo recently submitted her letter of resignation to the Minneapolis City Council.With the Twin Cities' Indian community the poorest in the nation and the city's first black mayor in office less than a month, the PRESS decided to try and find some answers to these and other questions that could effect Native Americans living in Minneapolis. Fifteen years ago the city council announced that they wanted to hire an Indian representative to serve as a liaison between city hall and the Native American community. This person was to be selected by the community and be officed incity hall. From the very begin ning this position was steeped with troubles. High staff turnover was just one indication that there were continuing problems. City hall officials complained that the liaison was spending too much time out in the Indian community and not enough time at city hall and the Indian community complained about just the opposite. With the hiring of Pat Amo, a former college teacher, there came the dawn of a new era. Amo was willing to address the real issues that effect the city's Native American community. She advocated for a fair share of city employment for Indians and the fair awarding of city contracts to minority firms. These issues became the high points of her tenure. They also became the reasons she decided to resign. Recently, the PRESS has learned that with Amo's departure the city will discontinue the Indian liaison position and that it now plans to create a new post under a different heading. Donna Harris, the city's director of neighborhood services, told the PRESS, "I am going to see if this position can be made into one to serve all the communities." Harris said in a phone interview that she will be contacting the "Indian community's leadership" to see if she can get their support for her proposed changes. When questioned about rumours that someone had already been selected for her newly created position, Harris strongly denied the allegations. However, PRESS sources at city hall say that, in fact, an afro American male has already been slated to take over once an agreement has been reached. When Harris was asked why Amo resigned, she hastily replied, "She left voluntarily. You know, she was a contract employee and I worked hard to try and get her "grandfathered" in as a civil service employee.'' When told that Amo's decision to resign centered on her, Harris replied, "Idon'twanttotalk Maze/ See Page 3 Funds suspended at American Indian Vets Center By Bill Lawrence The PRESS recently obtained a copy of a letter dated January 20,1994, from Three Feathers Associates (TFA) of Norman, Oklahoma to Kenneth W. Webster, President of the American Indian Veterans Center, Inc. (AI VC) of Minneapolis that funding was suspended effective January 19, 1994. Theletter was signed by AntoniaDobrec, President of TFA. The two reasons cited in the letter resultinginthesuspensionofthe$60,(X)0 of federal funds were as follows: "(1) The State of Minnesota does not recognize the American Indian Veterans Center, Inc., as a legal entity; (2) The information provided to Three Feathers Associates of notices of meetings, minutes of meetings, all resolutions from the Native American Veterans Center, Inc., annual meetings, and all regular and special meetings conducted by the American Indian Veterans Center, Inc., is insufficient and not conducted as a legal corporation." The letter goes on to state "In as much as these requests outlined in a letter dated January 12, 1994, were ^sufficient, Three Feathers Associates will no longer honor any obligations effective January 19,1994, at 8:00 a.m. as stated in page 2 of the letter." According to its Articles of Incorporation, the AIVC was incorporated on June 21,1991, for the purposeof: "(1) work actively to foster the effective delivery of existing services to American Indian Veterans; and (2) develop services to assist American Indian Veterans in utilizing underutilized resources." The incorporators of ATVC and its current Board of Directors are Kenneth W. Webster, James W. Monchamp and Collins Oak Grove, all of the Minneapolis area. The principal operatives of ATVC areKenneth Webster as board president and James Monchamp as acting interim program director, a salaried position. AIVC program materials indicate it was designed to initially serve the estimated 1,000 American Indian veterans in the Twin Cities area and to later expand its services to the estimated 8,000 Indian vets throughout the state of Minnesota. The $60,000 in grant funds was for the period of-September 15, 1993, to September 14,1994. A second year offundingin the amountof$30,000, also appears to be part of the contract. According to contract terms, these funds were to be used as a sort of seed funds to be utilized to attract additional Anderson resigns as GM of Red Lake Chippewa Trading Post By Bill Lawrence According to information received from several sources, the PRESS has learned that Roger Anderson resigned as general manager ofthe Red Lake Chippewa Trading post effective January 17, 1994. The same sources told the PRESS that the reason he resigned is that Red Lake tribal chairmen Gerald "Butch" Brun made it impossible for him to do his job. Expansionofthetradingpostto include an automotive service center, auto parts, hardware and office products and the addition of the Ponemah store necessetated the build-up of substantial inventories. In addition the over-staffing on orders of Brun and large credit accounts by the tribal council and tribal programs adversely affected the trading post's cash flow. This situation resulted in late payments to vendors and utilities which in turn began threatening to withhold supplies, services and made making payroll a problem. Amounts owed to vendors is reported to be over $300,000. A source who wishes to remain anonymous told the PRESS that the situation was contrived by chairmen Brun in order to force Anderson to leave. As evidence of Brun's intention, he is reported to have made $200,000 available to the Trading Post from casino funds the day after Anderson resigned. Anderson is reported to have lost favor with Brun because he tried to run the trading post like a business instead of a employment agency for Brun. One Red Lake insider told the PRESS that Brun got rid of Anderson now because he wanted a scapegoat for his own mismanagement of tribal business affairs prior to the May tribal elections. Anderson is the second non- tribal member management official terminated on the reservationthis month. Earlier, Red Lake Schools superintendent Ed Kroenke was unexpectedly fired for what many consider without cause. Anderson had been general manager of the Trading Post for the past five years. During his tenure, the enterprise had grown from annual sales of around $400,000 to nearly $4,000,000 and employees from 10 to 50. While manager ofthe trading post he is reported to have developed a good working relationship with his employees, customers and suppliers. Carla Lajeunesse, a Red Lake tribal member and formerly assistant manager was appointed by Brun to be interim manager ofthe trading post. The PRESS contacted Anderson at his home but he declined to comment. The PRESS' call to Brun was not returned. Casino layoffs disputed Black Bear's point system termed iinfair By Sheri Vazzano Reprinted w/ permission from: Duluth News Tribune About 20 Fond du Lac band members who were laid off from the Black Bear Casino say they lost their jobs as the result of an unfair point system that discriminates against native Americans. The members were among 60 employees dismissed Friday. Reservation gaming officials say layoffs are common this time of year when business is slow. At times like this, they say, the employees with the best attendance and performance records are retained- regardless of race. Employees received notice informing them they were being laid off because of attendance and performance records in light of the casino's current economic condition. But some say the casino management's formula used for keeping track of attendance doesn't allow for important cultural traditions such as wild rice harvesting, ceremonies and taking care of sick relatives. The casino is owned and operated by the Fund du Lac band of Chippewa. The formula is based on a point system, which docks five points for missing work without calling, four points for un-excused absences, and so on. "The point system makes it seem as if we're not doing our jobs right," said Gerri Defoe, an information clerk who was laid off. Tom O'Leary, a laid off groundskeeper, said he feels the management bowed to complaints from other workers when it went ahead with the layoffs. "The Indians have poorer work records and the white people have been grumbling about that, that Indians have been getting away with calling in sick or coming late or calling in drunk," he said. A group of Native American employees angry over the layoffs met Monday with members of the Reservation Business Committee to voice their concerns. Bob "Sonny" Peacock, Fond du Lac Reservation chairman, said the rayoffs were based solely on records, not race. "The bottom line is that this is a business," he said. "You go with the good solid workers." He said he expects many employees to return to work when business conditions improve. He said laid-off employees would be allowed to review their records. They can also file a complaint with the RBC, he said. Peacock said the committee members obtained useful information from the meeting with laid-off employees. The information will be used to enhance employee working conditions in the future, he said, including making schedules more favorable to those with children at home.

Founded in 1988 -n skly Ojibwe IWIews We Support Egpual Opportunity For AU People I Volume 5 Issue 31 January _!8, 1994 Cnpvright, The Djitme News, 1994 Native American Press staffers Gary Blair and John Rainbird assist at a pow wow and ceremonies at Sandy Lake St Paul Indian Health Clinic provides rides and evening hours to betterserve community By Delvin Cree The mission ofthe American Indian Health clinic is to provide high quality health care services and appropriate training of health care professionals in support of the health and human service needs of the Ramsey County American Indian community and the low income residents of the St. Paul Eastside and to encourage innovation, leadership, and excellence in the field of ambulatory health care. "And that's just what we are doing,' ' saidRichard Carpenter, Program Director and Health Planner of the clinic. Carpenter told the PRESS that even though the mission statement hasn' t been updated lately the services provided by the clinic extend to other people that need their services. The location of the clinic is at 947 Payne Ave. in St. Paul and other services and offices are located at 965 Payne Ave, just down the street from the clinic. Carpenter wants people to know that they are there within the communitity from St. Paul to Minneapolis. "If people in Minneapolis want a change in health care or to see what our services are like, feel free to come on over. We don't have any boundaries of who we take care of." He also pointed out that they are not in competition with otherlndian health agencies or trying to take away their services. "We just want people to know that there are other options and services out there and that we are available." Carpenter noted that all the services provided by them are not in the same building. The majority of services are provided at the 947 Payne Ave. address while the mental health, social work, and community health offices are located at 965 Payne Ave., which also includes the administration offices. The clinic already has an excellent reputation of providing services to people living under the poverty level. In 1992 the percentage of those individuals was 84.7%, many of whom were Native American. The total number of medical encounters at the clinic in 1991 to 1992 raised from 163 to 1,997, while the community outreach encounters went from 61 to 375 in the same years according to an annual report provided by Carpenter. It was also noted that in 1993 clinic users continued to be predominately Native American, to have incomes below the poverty level, and to have either medicaid or no insurance coverage. Right now, according to Carpenter, a large number ofthe staff are Native American. "Six out of ten employees that I can think of right now are Native American," he said. "And that is good because our staff is sensitive to the cultural needs and beliefs of Indian people." The clinic provides transportation for clients who can't get around. Presently, they have one van to pick up people with but are hoping to expand this aspect of service. "One thing most people are not aware of," said Carpenter, " is that we are open for evening hours on Thursdays from 5pm to 8:30pm." All the services provided at the clinic are available on a sliding fee scale, with no one denied services due to any inability to pay. The city of St.Paul and Ramsey County are doing most of the funding for the clinic and this comes after the request of local officials. The present clinic replaces the old St. Paul Urban Indian Health clinic that went belly-up after mismanagement problems. Since the clinic services began a couple of years ago the patient registration has risen to over 1,700 patients. The services provided currently are medical, prenatal care, community health nursing, mental health, social work services, and dental care. Carpenter said that there are plans for expanding and welcomes anyone who needs their health services. Star Tribune to drop 'Offensive' Indian team nicknames MINNEAPOLIS (AP) A decision by the Minneapolis Star Tribune to stop using "certain offensive Indian team nicknames'' won immediate praise from an American Indian leader. "I think when a major newspaper such as the Star Tribune takes that position, it puts a lot of emphasis on the issue," said Clyde Bellecourt, founder and national director of the American Indian Movement. "In the long run, it will put pressure on some of these teams to make the same decision,'' added Bellecourt, who helped form the National Coalition On Racism in Sports and the Media. Tim McGuire, Star Tribune editor, and Julie Engebrecht, executive sports editor, said in a published statement Tuesday, "We have come to believe that discontinuing the use of these offensive nicknames is the right thing to do. And we believe newspapers make decisions about languageall thetime," they wrote. "Many radstarrfsexistterrrBhavebeenelimiraled over the years." The newspaper had not planned to make a public announcement yet but was prompted by "community conversation," they wrote. Sports staff at the Minneapolis-based Star Tribune will soon develop specific guidelines. The Portland Oregonian made a similar decision about two years ago. There are 49,909 American Indians living in Minnesota, according to the 1990 Census. "I think we're starting to accomplish some of our overall goals and sensitizing America to some of these offensive nicknames," Bellecourt said.

After returning from a few days in the Bay area of California, I am reminded how small the twin cities are in perspective to the rest of the metropolitan areas of the country. While as a whole, Minneapolis and St. Paul rank as the 16th largest market in the country, but as our two cities are counted together, we get a smaller feel in our place in the market.
This really relates to the unusual people you may see walking the streets here. Sure, we have them, but not like other cities across the country.
Take Baby Bingo here for example. I have seen him walking the streets of Minneapolis a few weeks in a row now. I am not sure what his story is…. but I know I want to talk to him one of these times in passing. He does not seem to be looking for anything….. he just walks the streets honking his horn and sometimes waving at people.
He definitely ranks as one of Minneapolis's more unusual charecters. Tomorrow, I'll post one I found on Pier 39.


text: I just got my 3DS. I was the first customer to get one (one of the people who worked there got one first). I've only used it a little bit but I'm pretty impressed. I played Ridge Racer 3D, and the graphics are a lot better than people have been saying. It looks pretty cool to me. I'll take pictures later if people want.

In 1914, a beautiful foal with a distinctive cross on his nose is sold to the Army and thrust into the midst of the war on the Western front. But his heart aches for Albert, the farmer's son he left behind. Will he ever see his true master again?

"Great idea for reluctant readers!"
Insightful, Enduring, Magnificant
The different voices were most helpful in distinguishing the different characters and emotions. Great way to model reading to lower level readers.
No, we read two chapters a day.
I used the audio version as a read along with my 7th grade class. We finished two days before the Christmas break and they were excited. They would come in and talk about how they saw the trailer for the movie that morning, or the night before. They wrote a short chapter review after each chapter and we discussed how the trailer followed the book. After the break, I am sure we will have further discussion on how the book and movie were the same and what were the differences. Overall, having the audio version that followed the book, word for word was a great way to keep them interested in reading.
"good read"
Liked the story even though it is as sad in places as BLACK BEAUTY. the lives of many horses is sad. The author rally knows horses and how they become attached to other horses and people. Really enjoyed the historical parts of it.
The book is listed a a book for young adults. Most of the people I know that have read it are considered elderly. They also got it for their grandchildren.
"Not what I expected"
I wanted to read the book prior to see ing the movie and this was a quick way for me to do that as I was going on a trip.
I liked that the main character was so changed that neither he nor Albert recognized one another.
I'm not sure I appreciated the narrator. He did not give the horse any maturity as the story progresses. Joey sounds immature from start to finish.
Great use of language and vivid description. A little too sentimental and melodramatic.
Say something about yourself!
John Keating as always, did a fabulous job of narration.
As an avid horse lover I am always looking for another great horse book. This book is written from the point of view of a horse during WWI and tells of the harsh realities faced by both people and the horses. It doesn't go into so much detail that it wouldn't be safe for children however.
Loved it. I liked that it included history. Such a good horse and human(s) story. It reminded me of Smokey the Cow Horse. I totally enjoyed this book. I'm looking forward to seeing the movie.
"An excellent adolescent novel."
The descriptions that the author used.
I love his accent, I believe it was needed to have a better feeling of the story.
No...although I was moved by the book, it was not to tears.
"War Horse , Love It!"
Love the atmosphere that the narrator has created, couldn't bear to put the book down.
The narrator kept me and of corse the story.
Love the dialect it fitso well . Mr Keating did a wonderful job loved it and I have heard other books. Really enjoyed this book , even if I read other reviews that didn't agree with me. Really enjoyed this selection.
This selection was more than one sitting because I listen while going to work.
I will love the move but the book hase made it personal for me. Love It!
An avid reader, who also loves to listen.
"Answers all of the questions"
The book is even better than the movie and that's saying a lot considering the movie is great. Interesting that in the book, the horse is the narrator since the story is from his point of view this makes sense and obviously would not work in a movie.
Possible Spoiler Alerts:
With that said, I love how the book answered all of the questions I had after watching the movie such as:
Unlike the movie, the father was supposed to buy a cow instead.
I hate the name of the horse, until I read that it was named Joey b/c the kid already had a horse named Zooey.
In the book, there is no mention of the father drinking because he went to war and they never had a war badge of honor that was carried around as it was throughout the movie.
Two German kids who abandoned the war because of a promise to their mother, weren't in the book at all.
And after watching the movie, I was wondering why the Grandfather looked different at the end and in the book, it states that he looked different because it was supposed to be years later.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
As part of my WW1 reading I came across this story about a War Horse in WW1 so decided to read it. The narrator, John Keating did a great job reading the story. The story is told from the point of view of the horse just like Black Beauty. The use of the horse Calvary in WW1 was a good example of trying to fight the with the equipment and tactics of the past. Machine guns, tanks and gas made the use of the war horse a disaster. The story has Joey following another war horse through the German lines. He is captured and becomes a German war horse then later he returns to English hands. The boy that raised him joins the army veterinary corp in a hope to find Joey. Read the story you will find it interesting as just a story but you can also learn a bit of history.
"Unique point of view."
Yes I will listen again.
Sometimes I need a simple "feel good" tale.
Havent really given much thought to any comparison.
First time listening to Keatings work.
Got lots of smiles from this one.

I had dinner with a friend last night who shared with me what I like to call a "only in LA" moment. The moment turned out to be so incredibly ironic, that I asked him for permission to share it on my blog.
My friend said he had dinner one night (in Hollywood) with OJ Simpson and a couple of other people. This was a few years before OJ (allegedly) butchered his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman, in 1994.
My friend said that OJ pulled a piece paper from his jacket during dinner. He then proceeded to tell the group that he often carried it with him and read it anytime he felt the need.
My friend not only had the balls to ask Simpson to allow him to photocopy the piece of paper (the restaurant gladly obliged the request), but he also asked the "Juice" to autograph it. As you can see, OJ granted the request… and for the record, my friend wasn't "bitch-slapped" on the head for asking.
And now you know.

Dot-com bubble
The dot-com bubble (also referred to as the dot-com boom, the Internet bubble and the information technology bubble[1]) was a historic speculative bubble covering roughly 1997–2000 (with a climax on March 10, 2000, with the NASDAQ peaking at 5132.52 in intraday trading before closing at 5048.62) during which stock markets in industrialized nations saw their equity value rise rapidly from growth in the Internet sector and related fields. While the latter part was a boom and bust cycle, the Internet boom is sometimes meant to refer to the steady commercial growth of the Internet with the advent of the World Wide Web, as exemplified by the first release of the Mosaic web browser in 1993, and continuing through the 1990s.
The period was marked by the founding (and, in many cases, spectacular failure) of a group of new Internet-based companies commonly referred to as dot-coms. Companies were seeing their stock prices shoot up if they simply added an "e-" prefix to their name or a ".com" to the end, which one author called "prefix investing".[2]
A combination of rapidly increasing stock prices, market confidence that the companies would turn future profits, individual speculation in stocks, and widely available venture capital created an environment in which many investors were willing to overlook traditional metrics such as P/E ratio in favor of confidence in technological advancements.
The collapse of the bubble took place during 2000-2001. Some companies, such as Pets.com, failed completely. Others lost a large portion of their market capitalization but remained stable and profitable, e.g., Cisco, whose stock declined by 86%. Some later recovered and surpassed their dot-com-bubble peaks, e.g., Amazon.com, whose stock went from 107 to 7 dollars per share, but a decade later exceeded 200.
Contents |
Bubble growth[edit]
Venture capitalists saw record-setting growth as dot-com companies experienced meteoric rises in their stock prices and therefore moved faster and with less caution than usual, choosing to mitigate the risk by starting many contenders and letting the market decide which would succeed. The low interest rates in 1998–99 helped increase the start-up capital amounts. A canonical "dot-com" company's business model relied on harnessing network effects by operating at a sustained net loss and to build market share (or mind share). These companies offered their services or end product for free with the expectation that they could build enough brand awareness to charge profitable rates for their services later. The motto "get big fast" reflected this strategy.
Soaring stocks[edit]
In financial markets, a stock market bubble is a self-perpetuating rise or boom in the share prices of stocks of a particular industry. The term may be used with certainty only in retrospect when share prices have since crashed. A bubble occurs when speculators note the fast increase in value and decide to buy in anticipation of further rises, rather than because the shares are undervalued. Typically many companies thus become grossly overvalued. When the bubble "bursts," the share prices fall dramatically, and many companies go out of business.
American news media, including respected business publications such as Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, encouraged the public to invest in risky companies, despite many of the companies' disregard for basic financial and even legal principles.[3]
Andrew Smith [4] has argued that the Financial Industry's handling of Initial Public offerings tended to benefit the banks and initial investors rather than the company itself. This is because company staff were typically barred from reselling their shares for a lock-in period of 12 to 18 months and so did not benefit from the common pattern of a huge short-lived spike in the share price on the day of the launch. By contrast, the financiers and other initial investors were typically entitled to sell at the peak price, and so could immediately profit from short-term price rises. Smith argues that the high profitability of the IPOs to Wall Street was a significant factor the course of events of the bubble. He writes:
"...But did the kids [the often young dotcom entrepreneurs] dupe the establishment by drawing them into fake companies, or did the establishment dupe the kids by introducing them to Mammon and charging a commission on it?"
In spite of this, however, a few company founders made vast fortunes when their companies were bought out at an early stage in the dot-com stock market bubble. These early successes made the bubble even more buoyant. An unprecedented amount of personal investing occurred during the boom, and the press reported the phenomenon of people quitting their jobs to become full-time day traders.[5][6][7]
Free spending[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013) |
According to dot-com theory, an Internet company's survival depended on expanding its customer base as rapidly as possible, even if it produced large annual losses. For instance, Google and Amazon did not see any profit in their first years. Amazon was spending on expanding customer base and alerting people to its existence and Google was busy spending on creating more powerful machine capacity to serve its expanding search engine.[citation needed] The phrase "Get large or get lost" was the wisdom of the day.[8] At the height of the boom, it was possible for a promising dot-com to make an initial public offering (IPO) of its stock and raise a substantial amount of money even though it had never made a profit — or, in some cases, earned any revenue whatsoever.[citation needed] In such a situation, a company's lifespan was measured by its burn rate: that is, the rate at which a non-profitable company lacking a viable business model ran through its capital served as the metric.
Public awareness campaigns were one of the ways in which dot-coms sought to expand their customer bases. These included television ads, print ads, and targeting of professional sporting events. Many dot-coms named themselves with onomatopoeic nonsense words that they hoped would be memorable and not easily confused with a competitor. Super Bowl XXXIV in January 2000 featured 17 dot-com companies that each paid over $2 million for a 30-second spot. By contrast, in January 2001, just three dot-coms bought advertising spots during Super Bowl XXXV. In a similar vein, CBS-backed iWon.com gave away $10 million to a lucky contestant on an April 15, 2000 half-hour primetime special that was broadcast on CBS.
Not surprisingly, the "growth over profits" mentality and the aura of "new economy" invincibility led some companies to engage in lavish internal spending, such as elaborate business facilities and luxury vacations for employees. Executives and employees who were paid with stock options instead of cash became instant millionaires when the company made its initial public offering; many invested their new wealth into yet more dot-coms.
Cities all over the United States sought to become the "next Silicon Valley" by building network-enabled office space to attract Internet entrepreneurs. Communication providers, convinced that the future economy would require ubiquitous broadband access, went deeply into debt to improve their networks with high-speed equipment and fiber optic cables. Companies that produced network equipment like Nortel Networks were irrevocably damaged by such over-extension; Nortel declared bankruptcy in early 2009. Companies like Cisco, which did not have any production facilities, but bought from other manufacturers, were able to leave quickly and actually do well from the situation as the bubble burst and products were sold cheaply.
In the struggle to become a technology hub, many cities and states used tax money to fund technology conference centers, advanced infrastructure, and created favorable business and tax law to encourage development of the dot com industry in their locale. Virginia's "Technology Corridor" is a prime example of this activity. Large quantities of high speed fiber links were laid, and the State and local governments gave tax exemptions to technology firms. Many of these buildings could be viewed along I-495, after the burst, as vacant office buildings.
Similarly, in Europe the vast amounts of cash the mobile operators spent on 3G licences in Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom, for example, led them into deep debt. The investments were far out of proportion to both their current and projected cash flow, but this was not publicly acknowledged until as late as 2001 and 2002. Due to the highly networked nature of the IT industry, this quickly led to problems for small companies dependent on contracts from operators. One example is of a then Finnish mobile network company Sonera, which paid huge sums in German broadband auction then dubbed as 3G licenses. 3rd generation networks however took years to catch on and Sonera ended up as a part of TeliaSonera, then simply Telia.
The bubble bursts[edit]
Over 1999 and early 2000, the U.S. Federal Reserve increased interest rates six times,[9] and the economy began to lose speed. The dot-com bubble burst, numerically, on Friday, March 10, 2000, when the technology heavy NASDAQ Composite index, peaked at 5,048.62 (intra-day peak 5,132.52), more than double its value just a year before.[10] The NASDAQ fell slightly after that, but this was attributed to correction by most market analysts; the actual reversal and subsequent bear market may have been triggered by the adverse findings of fact in the United States v. Microsoft case which was being heard in federal court.[citation needed] The findings, which declared Microsoft a monopoly, were widely expected in the weeks before their release on April 3.[citation needed] The following day, April 4, the NASDAQ fell from 4,283 points to 3,649 and rebounded back to 4,223, forming an intraday chart that looked like a stretched V. At the time, this represented the most volatile day in the history of the NASDAQ.
On March 20, 2000, after the NASDAQ had lost more than 10 percent from its peak, financial magazine Barron's shocked the market with its cover story "Burning Up". Sean Parker stated: "During the next 12 months, scores of highflying Internet upstarts will have used up all their cash. If they can't scare up any more, they may be in for a savage shakeout. An exclusive survey of the likely losers." The article pointed out: "America's 371 publicly traded Internet companies have grown to the point that they are collectively valued at $1.3 trillion, which amounts to about 8% of the entire U.S. stock market."[11]
By 2001, the bubble was deflating at full speed. A majority of the dot-coms ceased trading after burning through their venture capital, many having never made a profit. Investors often referred to these failed dot-coms as "dot-bombs."[citation needed]
On January 10, 2000, America Online, a favorite of dot-com investors and pioneer of dial-up Internet access, announced plans to merge with Time Warner, the world's largest media company, in the second-largest M&A transaction worldwide.[12] The transaction has been described as "the worst in history".[13] Within two years, boardroom disagreements drove out both of the CEOs who made the deal, and in October 2003 AOL Time Warner dropped "AOL" from its name.
Several communication companies could not weather the financial burden and were forced to file for bankruptcy. One of the more significant players, WorldCom, was found engaging in illegal accounting practices to exaggerate its profits on a yearly basis. WorldCom's stock price fell drastically when this information went public, and it eventually filed the third-largest corporate bankruptcy in U.S. history. Other examples include NorthPoint Communications, Global Crossing, JDS Uniphase, XO Communications, and Covad Communications.[dubious ] Companies such as Nortel, Cisco and Corning were at a disadvantage because they relied on infrastructure that was never developed which caused the stock of Corning to drop significantly.
Many dot-coms ran out of capital and were acquired or liquidated; the domain names were picked up by old-economy competitors or domain name investors. Several companies and their executives were accused or convicted of fraud for misusing shareholders' money, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission fined top investment firms like Citigroup and Merrill Lynch millions of dollars for misleading investors. Various supporting industries, such as advertising and shipping, scaled back their operations as demand for their services fell. A few large dot-com companies, such as Amazon.com and eBay, survived the turmoil and appear assured of long-term survival, while others such as Google have become industry-dominating mega-firms.
The stock market crash of 2000–2002 caused the loss of $5 trillion in the market value of companies from March 2000 to October 2002.[14] The 9/11 terrorist destruction of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, killing almost 700 employees of Cantor-Fitzgerald, accelerated the stock market drop; the NYSE suspended trading for four sessions. When trading resumed, some of it was transacted in temporary new locations.
More in-depth analysis shows that 90% of the dot-coms companies survived through 2004.[15] With this, it is safe to assume that the assets lost from the Stock Market do not directly link to the closing of firms. More importantly, however, it can be concluded that even companies who were categorized as the "small players" were adequate enough to endure the destruction of the financial market during 2000-2002.[15] Additionally, retail investors who felt burned by the burst transitioned their investment portfolios to more cautious positions.
Nevertheless, laid-off technology experts, such as computer programmers, found a glutted job market. University degree programs for computer-related careers saw a noticeable drop in new students. Anecdotes of unemployed programmers going back to school to become accountants or lawyers were common.
Turning to the long-term legacy of the bubble, Fred Wilson, who was a venture capitalist during it, said:
"A friend of mine has a great line. He says 'Nothing important has ever been built without irrational exuberance'. Meaning that you need some of this mania to cause investors to open up their pocketbooks and finance the building of the railroads or the automobile or aerospace industry or whatever. And in this case, much of the capital invested was lost, but also much of it was invested in a very high throughput backbone for the Internet, and lots of software that works, and databases and server structure. All that stuff has allowed what we have today, which has changed all our lives. …that's what all this speculative mania built."[4]

H.S. Football: Resurgent Sun Valley relies on Griffin for another victory
ASTON — Sun Valley's football resurgence continued Friday when the Vanguards treated an overflow Homecoming crowd to a 35-14 romp past Octorara in a Ches-Mont American mismatch.
The treatment Dan Griffin and the Vanguards dealt Octorara (1-4 overall, 0-2 league) was somewhat less cordial.
Griffin, the workhorse senior running back who alternates between running over and away from tacklers, rumbled for 179 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries.
And it was his heads-up defensive on the initial snap from scrimmage that put the Vanguards (4-1, 2-0) in immediate control.
In a formation that has become a staple of Sun Valley practices, senior lineman Vaughn Fulton lines up at nose guard in an effort to distract the opposing center. The plan worked when the Braves botched their first center-quarterback exchange, with Griffin falling on the fumble.
"Vaughn got in (the center's) head, gave him something else to think about other than just snapping the ball," Griffin said. "It was great to get the ball that quick, especially at that end of the field."
The turnover led to a four-play, 28-yard scoring drive that was capped by Juwan Chandler's 15-yard stutter-step, end-around run down the right sideline for a 7-0 lead just 2 minutes, 2 seconds into the game.
Sun Valley got the ball back 2½ minutes later and quickly doubled the lead to 14-0, going 65 yards on seven plays. Griffin started the scoring march with a 38-yard jaunt, and quarterback T.J. Mancini capped it with a 1-yard keeper.
Mancini (3-for-6, 104 yards and one touchdown passing) thrived behind that line, particularly when he directed a 65-yard TD drive in the final 1:36 of the first half. The junior connected with Leon Hunter on a 54-yard catch-and-run that reached the Octorara 15 yard line. Griffin — who churned out 95 yards on a dozen carries in the first two quarters — took it from there, bulling his way over right tackle from 5 yards out to make it 21-0 just :29 before intermission.
Griffin reached 100 yards on his first carry of the second half and added an 8-yard burst through the right side of the line for a touchdown that widened the advantage to 28-0 midway through the third quarter. Continued...
Even after Octorara made some noise with a pair of scoring runs by quarterback Alex Gooden (20 carries, 159 yards), the Vanguards refused to led the Braves creep any closer.
On a beautiful pitch-and-catch over the middle on a play-action pass, Ryan Riddle made a leaping catch of Mancini's long toss over the middle for a 40-yard touchdown that closed out the scoring with 10:01 to go in the game.
"I'm not the primary target on that play," said Riddle, who also had a pair of long kickoff returns and a key pass breakup in the second half.
"We usually go to the tight end or the wide receiver on the outside," Riddle added. "T.J. found me and made a great throw. It was pretty exciting."
As for the Vanguards, another impressive effort is helping make last season's 0-12 debacle a distant memory.
"The kids read all the stuff people are saying, I don't really pay attention to it," Grugan said. "But it's nice that people think enough of you that they expect you to win games now."

VIVITROL® (naltrexone for extended-release suspension) is a prescription injectable medicine used to treat alcohol dependence, and to prevent relapse to opioid dependence, after opioid detoxification. You should stop drinking before starting VIVITROL. To be effective, treatment with VIVITROL must be used along with other alcoholism or drug recovery programs such as counseling. VIVITROL may not work for everyone. VIVITROL has not been studied in children under the age of 18 years.
Do not take VIVITROL if you are using or have physical dependence on opioid street drugs, such as heroin, or opioid-containing medicine, such as prescription pain medicine. You must not take opioid-containing medicines or opioid street drugs for 7-10 days before you start taking VIVITROL. You should not take VIVITROL if you have opioid withdrawal symptoms or are allergic to VIVITROL or any of the ingredients in the liquid used to mix VIVITROL (diluent). Click here to read the full medication guide to find out more about opioid withdrawal symptoms and to see a complete list of ingredients in VIVITROL and the diluent.
Some people on VIVITROL treatment have had severe reactions at the site of injection (injection site reactions), including tissue death (necrosis). Some of these injection site reactions have required surgery. Call your doctor right away if you have any of the following things happen at your injection site: intense pain, the area feels hard, large area of swelling, lumps, blisters, an open wound or dark scab.
Naltrexone, the active ingredient in VIVITROL, can cause liver damage (including liver failure) or hepatitis, if you take more than the recommended dose. Tell your doctor if you have any of the following symptoms of liver problems during treatment with VIVITROL: stomach area pain lasting more than a few days, dark urine, yellowing of the whites of your eyes, or tiredness. Your doctor may need to stop treating you with VIVITROL if you get signs or symptoms of a serious problem.
If you have used opioid-containing medicines or opioid street drugs in the past, you may be more sensitive to lower doses of opioids after VIVITROL treatment stops, when your next VIVITROL dose is due or if you miss a dose of VIVITROL. Using opioids in amounts you used before treatment with VIVITROL can lead to overdose and death. You may not feel the usual effects if you use or abuse heroin and other illegal (street) drugs while on VIVITROL. Do not take large amounts of opioids, including opioid-containing medicines, such as prescription pain pills, or heroin, to overcome effects of VIVITROL. This can lead to overdose including serious injury, coma, or death. You may not feel the usual effects of opioid-containing medicines including medicines for pain, cough and diarrhea while on VIVITROL. It is important that you tell your family and the people closest to you of this increased sensitivity to opioids and the risk of overdose. You or someone close to you should get emergency medical help right away if you: have trouble breathing; become very drowsy with slowed breathing; have slow, shallow breathing (little chest movement with breathing); feel faint, very dizzy, or have unusual symptoms.
Some people on VIVITROL treatment have had severe allergic pneumonia. Call your doctor right away if you experience shortness of breath or coughing that does not go away. You may need to go to the hospital for treatment with antibiotic and steroid medicines.
Serious allergic reactions can happen during or soon after an injection of VIVITROL. Tell your doctor or get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms of a serious allergic reaction: skin rash, swelling of your face, mouth or tongue, trouble breathing or wheezing, chest pain, feeling dizzy or faint.
VIVITROL can cause other serious side effects, such as depressed mood that can sometimes lead to suicide, suicidal thoughts and suicidal behavior. You should tell your family members and the people closest to you if you are taking VIVITROL. Call your doctor right away if you experience signs of depression. Click here to find out more about some symptoms of depression.
Common side effects of VIVITROL include nausea, tiredness, headache, vomiting, decreased appetite, painful joints and muscle cramps. In addition, common side effects in people taking VIVITROL for opioid dependence also include cold symptoms, trouble sleeping, and toothache.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Dozens of local middle school students are embarking on a week-long science adventure. Bristol-Myers Squibb kicked off its 20th annual Science Horizons program on Monday.
Each year, the program brings in one student from each of the Onondaga County middle schools. The science camp is composed of field trips, lectures and hands-on learning opportunities in various science fields.
Organizers say it's important to give this age group exposure into as many fields as possible.
"When Bristol first conceived to this idea, they thought about high schoolers. But they found that many high school students have already decided what areas they wanted to study. The middle schoolers are very open to all the sciences at this moment," said Kim Buchanan, teacher at Fabius-Pompey.
Time Warner Cable is the parent company of YNN and we are committed to the Connect a Million Minds program, inspiring youth to develop science, technology, engineering and math skills. For more information on the initiative, go to connectamillionminds.com.
