Let's get it straight: If 5 years ago someone told you Adamek would compete as a heavyweight, beaten Golota, Arreola and Chambers, you'd think him crazy. While I agree Adamek is not at his best as a HW, he hasn't done bad at all and probably better than most expected when he decided to enter this division.
I'd agree he has done better then many anticipated. But it isn't the fact that he wins his fights. It's the style in which he wins them that make me say and think what I do. It always seems like a struggle. Not saying he doesn't deserve the wins, he does. But it seems that almost every fight is the fight of his life in HW. He also runs out of steam late in the game, as he is trying to keep up the same workrate as he did at lower weights, but his heart has to pump that blood through a much bigger body and much more muscle.
Things came much easier at CW and he looked much more powerful, and much more dynamic then he does at HW. He is just too small to be a good HW, and the only reason he has made it as far as he has, is because the division is weak. He went in there against a real SHW, and got knocked from pillar to post for 10 rounds. I honestly was on the train thinking Adamek could somehow at least make it competitive, I was wrong.
I'm not saying Adamek is **** at HW. Because he is the top of the division. I'm just saying Adamek doesn't look good at HW. Adamek doesn't belong at HW. Which those things, coupled with his success, show he is that much better of a fighter because he has done it, and won it. Not long ago he was fighting at 175 limit. So it is all impressive none the less. But I much liked the Adamek of CW then what I have been seeing lately... and I do think he has been somewhat slowing since the Arreola fight, and is past his best at this point. Maybe if he came in at like 210 or 215 it would make things a bit better... Don't know what he is thinking coming in 220+ he sure as **** doesn't seem to be hitting any harder.
Anyways, when he retires, I will remember him for his never die spirit, his warrior mentality. His wars with Briggs, with Cunningham, how he destroyed Banks. That is the Adamek I liked to see. Those are his fights that stick out most to me.

That's your take on ALL juniors. Obviously some MAJOR money folks disagree with you. Don't get me wrong. They obviously have abandoned their jv model. We're left with no other explanation for this dilution. I bought into this model to AVOID this very thing. We are owed an explanation as to WHY they are doing this. The one already given to me (they want two years cash on hand policy) doesn't fly. They already hadthat before this placement. What are they doing?

Ben Gazzara managed a career that embraced critically acclaimed independent and art-house films, popular movies, television and stage. He may be best known for three searing performances in John Cassavetes films but also worked with directors such as Otto Preminger, Spike Lee, the Coens and Lars von Trier. He claimed that youthful idealism made him turn down a lot of roles but in later years he refused few jobs, simply to maintain a comfortable lifestyle. In such a prolific career his ability to make the smallest gesture register means he is often better than the films he is in.

Disney Drama As Stock Plot Is Foiled
Federal authorities alleged Wednesday that a Walt Disney Co. executive assistant and her boyfriend engaged in a ham-handed plot to sell Wall Street traders inside information, first offered in a chirpy missive sent to dozens of investment companies.
"Hi, I have access to Disney's (DIS) quarterly earnings report before its release on 05/03/10," the March 5 letter began. "I am willing to share this information for a fee that we can determine later."
The alleged plan went awry. Instead of taking the bait, "multiple hedge funds reported the illicit scheme," the Securities and Exchange Commission said in a press release.
In a pair of complaints filed Wednesday, federal authorities said the letter and subsequent emails were sent by Yonni Sebbag, whose girlfriend Bonnie Hoxie was an assistant to Disney's head of corporate communications.
Disney said in a statement Wednesday that it "has been fully cooperating with this investigation." Ms. Hoxie was at work as recently as Tuesday, according to people at the company.
A federal judge ordered Mr. Sebbag held as a potential flight risk and released Ms. Hoxie on a $50,000 bond Wednesday. Neither responded to the charges in a bail hearing Wednesday.
The March 5 form letter was sent to 33 investment companies, according to a criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan federal court charging the two with conspiracy and wire fraud. Undercover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation began corresponding with Mr. Sebbag, who used the pseudonym "Jonathan Cyrus" in the email exchanges, according to the complaint.
As the earnings release approached, Mr. Sebbag, 29 years old, and Ms. Hoxie, 33, engaged in an awkward exchange of their own as they waited with growing frustration for the quarterly earnings data to materialize, according to transcripts in both complaints. The exchange at points took on the tone of any couple bickering over mundane issues like bill paying.
"Get things moving with all the powers you have," Mr. Sebbag urged his girlfriend at one point.
"Thanks for the flattery," Ms. Hoxie replied. "I wish you could come to work every day with me."
On the day of the earnings release, Ms. Hoxie sent Mr. Sebbag an email stating "here is the bag that you are going to get for me," the SEC said in a companion civil complaint filed in New York federal court. It said the email included a link to "a picture of an expensive Stella McCartney designer handbag available for $700 at Neiman Marcus."
Mr. Sebbag allegedly replied that he would get her the bag "next week" and added, "I may be able to (buy) u 2 of them." To which she purportedly emailed back, "In that case, I also love love these shoes," and attached a link to a photo of Stella McCartney shoes at Neiman.
On May 22, a "Bj Hoxie," who appeared to be the same Bonnie Hoxie, posted a Facebook update that said, "I go shopping shopping shopping!!"
Wednesday's arrests resulted from a far more straightforward and streamlined investigation than other recent high-profile crackdowns on insider trading, which have involved months of meticulous sleuthing to piece together the illicit flow of information.
In this case, the alleged peddlers simply put their offer in writing and sent it out so widely that word of the scheme was bound to reach authorities.
The criminal complaint alleges that at one point Mr. Sebbag attempted to sweeten the pot by offering a supposed tidbit: that Disney was in advanced talks to sell its ABC television network to a pair of private-equity firms. Disney in a statement said any such claims "were and are false."
In communications with FBI undercover agents, who were posing as interested stock traders, Mr. Sebbag "stated that he was looking to build a business relationship" and "was able and willing to provide them non-public information on a regular basis in the future," the SEC complaint said. He also "made clear" that he wanted to be paid for the information, "understood his conduct carried 'risks,' and that he wanted to avoid getting caught," the complaint added. In one email he allegedly said, "I was thinking $20000 is a fair compensation but you are free to make an offer."
At a May 14 meeting in New York with undercover agents, Mr. Sebbag "lifted the veil of his alias" and provided his identity, said the SEC complaint.
He also allegedly admitted that he didn't work for Disney but that his girlfriend was a secretary to a high-ranking Disney employee. He said he was sharing some of the money with her, according to the complaint.
At that May 14 meeting, the complaint said, Mr. Sebbag also asked the undercover agents "for their advice on how to open up an off-shore account in order to deposit the proceeds of the scheme so as to avoid notice by enforcement authorities." He stated, the complaint added, that "he didn't 'want to go to jail.'" He said he would go to Israel to open an account there, according to the complaint. He allegedly agreed that future discussions with his supposed confederates would be done via prepaid cell phones that "would be regularly switched to make detection of the scheme more difficult."
The complaint said he left the meeting with $15,000 cash in an envelope. Meanwhile, the U.S. Attorney's office said the "investigation is continuing."

Saving Abel honors Fort Carson Soldiers
April 14, 2011
By Kerstin Lopez (Fort Carson)
FORT CARSON, Colo. -- Mountain Post and local community members attended a free concert by rock band Saving Abel at the Special Events Center April 6.
The five-member rock group jumped at the chance to perform for the Soldiers and Families of Fort Carson and said it's a rewarding experience.
"We are definitely known as supporters of our military," said Eric Taylor, bass guitarist.
The group has traveled overseas and performed numerous concerts for the troops in countries such as Qatar, Kuwait and Iraq.
"It's really cool to do - it's an eye-opening experience," Taylor said.
Jared Weeks, Saving Abel's lead singer, said the band's encounters with the military were the motivation behind their latest single "Miss America."
"It's a life-changing experience," Weeks said. "It lit a fire under our tails.
The song has nothing to do about a beauty pageant ... basically it's a song about bringing everybody home."
"Also, the way we live, we've started to learn what it's like to miss people at home too, not that it's remotely close to the same thing, but we understand that feeling of missing home and we wanted to identify with the Soldiers and say 'we feel your pain,'" said Scott Bartlett, rhythm guitarist.
Prior to the free concert, the quintet conducted a meet-and-greet event at the Fort Carson Post Exchange for their fans.
Kimmie Schnepp, Family member, said having the concert at Fort Carson is good for morale.
"I really appreciate them coming out to perform for our troops and spouses ... I know how much it means to all the Soldiers and their Families to get a little recognition and support for what we are all doing," Schnepp said.
"Sometimes morale can get low, but we'll be the cheerleaders - we'll come in and pump you all up," Weeks said.

Lions Gate Films has been hiding a few great titles from us that I think you're all dying to see- and now they finally plan on releasing them! The first is Christopher Smith's creepy subway flick Creep (review). Trapped in a London subway station, a woman who's being pursued by a potential attacker heads into the unknown labyrinth of tunnels beneath the city's streets. Second was a Filmax film entitled 'Romasanta', which has been retitled for video release as Werewolf Hunter: The Legend of Romasanta. Inside you'll find the official release date and more…
Fangoria reports:
"The Spanish Julian Sands-starring lycanthro-opus ROMASANTA, now called WEREWOLF HUNTER: THE LEGEND OF ROMASANTA, will arrive November 22, and CREEP, the British chiller about a woman (Franka Potente) stalked through the London underground by a semihuman monster, hits December 13. The latter will first play conventions and festivals to build buzz, but details on these have not been confirmed yet, nor have the DVD contents for either title."
In WEREWOLF HUNTER: THE LEGEND OF ROMASANTA, "An uproar is caused when some mutilated cadavers are discovered, giving way to the legend of the "Werewolf of Allariz". A traveling vendor rolls through the forest in his old wagon. A woman from every village on his route faithfully awaits him. He's attractive, intelligent, charming…. But he's also the monster feared by all. His most recent prey, Barbara will soon become the one who hunts him down. The film is based on the true-life story of Manuel Blanco Romasanta, the traveling vendor, who confessed to the murders of thirteen people, using their body fat to make soap. Romasanta was tried in Allaríz in 1852 and avoided capital punishment by proclaiming he was a werewolf. Barbara was the lone survivor of four sisters."

♠ Posted by Nickie O'Hara in gallery,Lancaster,Morecambe,photograph,The Gallery at Wednesday, March 13, 2013
When away from the office, my job takes me all over Lancashire. The last two days have taken me to Lancaster and Morecambe on what have been gloriously cold, Spring days.
|C is for... Castle
Day one takes me to offices by Lancaster Castle. The back streets of Lancaster are cobbled and my pull-along case full of all my paraphernalia makes a racket as I drag it along. Almost all of the houses are marked with historical plaques or have doorways that would need me to stoop to walk through. The lawn in front of the castle is covered in crocus and the open gates draw me towards them but there isn't time to explore.
|C is for... Coastline
Day two takes me to Morecambe. For once, I am not encased in an meeting in the grimy back streets but visiting a venture just on the beach front with a glorious vista over the coastline. I remembered that I had featured Morecambe Bay once before in a Gallery picture but the (notorious) tide was out that time. I yeared for my proper camera rather than the phone because you can't quite pick out the snow-capped hills of the Lake District in the background.
This post is part of the digital photo gallery featured on the Sticky Fingers blog. This week's theme was "The Letter C".

Members of the Niskayuna Town Board discussed their options for the Ingersoll property at its meeting Tuesday, Feb. 27.
Highland Development LLC has proposed a strip mall for the property, which is directly across the street from an existing mall, Mohawk Commons. The 12.5-acre parcel, most of which is currently vacant green space, has long been properly zoned for retail development.
Under the proposal submitted by developers, a portion of the historic Ingersoll Home would be torn down but the original structure would be kept intact. Much of the current lot would then be turned into retail space and parking to accommodate customer needs. The dozens of senior citizens who currently live in the home would be relocated to a structure now being built on Consaul Road. Before the new stores can be built, the town board must support the project by approving a special use permit for it. Developers can't proceed without the permit.
Among the options reviewed on Tuesday were a moratorium, or a positive or negative declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act. A positive declaration essentially states that the project will affect the environment; a negative one says it won't.
A negative declaration would push the project forward. A positive one would halt it for further study by requiring the developer to prepare an environmental impact statement. A moratorium could still be considered regardless of a decision under SEQR.
The board is expected to vote on either a positive or negative declaration at its meeting Tuesday, March 13.
Superintendent Luke Smith said he will put together a resolution for a negative declaration, and board member Liz Kasper said she intends to put together a resolution for a positive declaration.
Championing the argument for a moratorium was board member Bill Chapman, who would like the town to study and try to preserve historic sites within the community. Chapman would like to see the Ingersoll site deemed a historic site.

Plotting Points and Naming Quadrants -
Problem 3
MA, Stanford University
Teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area
Alissa is currently a teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area and Brightstorm users love her clear, concise explanations of tough concepts
Ordered pair, or coordinate points, are written as (x, y). When graphing a point on a coordinate plane, the "x" value tells you how many units to move horizontally, or side-to-side along the x-axis. The "y" value tells you how many units to move vertically, or up and down along the y-axis. The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants by the x- and y-axes. The top right quadrant is the first quadrant. Moving in a counter-clockwise direction is the second, third and fourth quadrant.
Remember when you're graphing points that the x number comes first that tells you the side to side, the y number comes second it tells you the up and down. So here in this point (-2,-4) I know I have to go two in the negative x direction and then down four to represent four in the negative y direction.So here we go, on my graph I'm going to go two in the negative x direction and then also four down because that's the negative y direction. There's my point (-2,-4) keeping in mind the x number is the horizontal change the side to side, the y is the up and down. The problem also asks us tell it which quadrant it's in and we know it goes quadrant one, two, three and then four, it's kind of a clockwise thing. So we say the point is in quadrant III, write it using Roman numerals and there you go that's it. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of the positive negative and remembering that x comes first y comes second.

Rocket mass heater - Chimney length and vent height questions

I want to buy a teepee and heat it with a
rocket stove
The idea is to have the entire floor area act as the thermal mass so that the heater is in the center and the chimney spirals out from there. I'm assuming that there is a prefferred exit height for the chimney as well. The teepee will be between 16' and 19' in diameter and in an ideal world will sit snugly over the raised thermal mass that is all heated, but if the length of the spiral would be too much then I will start on plan B.
I'm assuming that at some point the chimney will have to raise, what's the lowest acceptable height and would it be ok for the pipe to exit the teepee at ground height and then simply turn at right angles into a vertical riser?

for every bend figure five feet of length so you might get one pass. Are yo putting this in the earth?
If so yo will need to isolate the "floor" from the surrounding earth. better IMO to build an insulated platform and heat that.
will this tepee have he felted liner or will it be just canvas?
Are you planning to move this thing?
how many years are you going to live in it?
Need more info?

I don't want to hijack this thread but I just listened to
241 and came across it. While I'd love to volunteer for Paul, Ernie and Erica's one-year teepee experiment, relocating across the country isn't an option right now. I'm quite curious as to how you are planning on setting it up though. I bought the 8" Cabin RMH
a while ago, could that be adapted?
The teepee would be there long-term. Maybe on a felted liner, it would depend on the price.
Thanks, can't wait for the DVDs.
Edit: Yes on the liner.

Like Bill before me I don't want to hi-jack the thread conversation. I'm brand new here, and don't want to make any enemies... So, with apologies ...
I just wanted to say Hi, and say that I just caught Paul Wheaton's interview with Ernie & Erica (I hope I got the names right!), and was astonished to hear that Ernie has built about 700 of these RMH's ... Wow! Kudos! ... I have been reviewing dozens of these things and I'm greatly impressed with the performance! The beauty is in the intracacy of design simpliicity. You have to know that big oil has been in control for far too long, when the efficiency of some of these RMH designs is coming close to the 100% mark! (-notably one youtube vid of a RMH which has only recently self-destructed (billed as "RMH on steroids" - and I understand that guy is also a Permies.com member) used as the sole heat source for an aquaponics operation in a geodesic domed building.
Back on topic ... again, with apologies for digressing...
If you're still around Ernie as I noted your comment was in 2012, am I to understand that every bend in a below floor installation eats up 5 feet of potential mass heating run length? (I think not insulating the floor was the only major fault of the aquaponics dome installation as well. I do wonder though if you had any issues with permitting for installations.

Property is in demand due to reduced inventory, as there are more potential buyers than sellers. Bidding wars with other buyers are possible, and listings begin to sell at greater than the asking price.
Rent prices are relatively stable, and availability is good. If your yearly income is around $60,000, you can afford to rent in this market. Rent prices have not changed over the past 3 months. This is same as the county average of $1,200 and 6% lower than the state average of $1,274.
The average home price in Kanab is $72,500. The average home price per square foot in Kanab is $36 and about 0% of all homes in Kanab sold in the last 6 months.

I posted this request on the Leica Forum, which as a Leica user is where I usually get good advice. I was recommended to post it here, and since I always do as I'm told, here it is:
'I have acquired a Rolleicord twin-lens camera for next to nothing. Can anyone tell me anything about it? I guess it was made in East Germany, having DRP stamped on it, and it seems to have a serial number of 797810; it has a Carl Zeiss Jena Triotar 1:4.5 lens. A previous owner has written '1968' on the box lid. I would like to use it, but have never owned a camera of this type before. Could someone please give me basic, beginner's, advice on how to get results from it? I have so far divined that slowly and carefully will be a good place to start. I'd be grateful if someone could help me with some basics. Many thanks.'
I have had a look around the various forums here and couldn't see that there is a thread dealing precisely with this. If there is one, I should be grateful for directions to it. The camera appears to be virtually unmarked. I need to put a roll of film through it to test it. What I'm asking for is advice on basic techniques. I am at the start of my learning curve here, and any advice will be most gratefully received.
Thanks in advance,

Telecom New Zealand to contact customers to change email password
Posted on 13-Feb-2013 18:02.
Filed under:
Telecom is initiating a password change programme to fix problems with Yahoo! Xtra customer email accounts that have been compromised by a recent cyber attack.
Telecom, in conjunction with email provider Yahoo!, has identified that up to approximately 5% of Yahoo! Xtra email customer accounts have been sending malicious emails most likely without the customers knowledge, after their email account was accessed.
Yahoo! has informed Telecom that there is currently no evidence to support reports that access has been gained to any user information beyond email addresses within a customers account, however Yahoo! continues to monitor the situation. Telecom is in continuing dialogue with Yahoo! based on individual customer feedback it has received in relation to such concerns.
Telecom CEO Retail, Chris Quin, says Yahoo has given Telecom an assurance that changing customer passwords stops these accounts from sending malicious emails.
We would like to thank the around 5,000 affected customers who have changed their passwords in recent days. Yahoo! has assured us that malicious emails are no longer being sent from these accounts.
Telecom will shortly commence a process of progressively contacting the remaining affected customers and asking them to change their password immediately.
To reach customers as quickly as possible, an email will be sent from Telecom to affected customers. The Telecom email will not contain any links, to avoid any fears by customers that it is another malicious email. Any email purporting to be from Telecom or Yahoo!, that encourages customers to enter an embedded link and their password credentials should be regarded as suspicious and should be deleted.
Our aim is to manage the password change process as effectively as possible and make it easy for customers to complete the process online themselves at Telecoms secure website, says Mr Quin.
If customers are not able to personally change their password within around 24 hours of our notification, we have a contingency process in place which will require customers to change their password the next time they access their email account. This process will be outlined in the email advice we are sending to our customers. However we think its much better for our customers to regularly manage their password change process and we urge them to make this change as soon as they receive our email advice.
Although the accounts of the vast majority of Yahoo! Xtra customers have not been directly affected by this security breach, some of them may still be receiving malicious emails purportedly from one of their contacts. However, these customers should not face any security risk if they simply delete suspicious email.
Telecom encourages customers who receive such emails, apparently from a trusted contact, to get in touch with their contact and let them know their account appears to have been affected by a malicious attack and that they should change their password. They should not hit the reply button on the suspicious email but send a separate communication to their contact.
Telecom continues to recommend that as good practice, all email customers change their password regularly, using a combination of letters, numbers and symbols. Passwords can be changed at www.telecom.co.nz/changepassword where guidance on good password practice can also be found.
Mr Quin added: We appreciate that many Telecom customers use their broadband connection to access email, either via the Yahoo! service or other email services and we want to assure them that they can continue to use their broadband connection with confidence regardless of the email platform they choose. As we announced yesterday, we are undertaking an urgent and comprehensive review of our approach to email service to best meet our customers needs.

Yes, agreed. But you have to look at the volume when you deal with pink sheet or over the counter stocks. That some fool in Nebraska pays $50 for a couple of shares in a moon dust distribution scheme means nothing if the stock has no volume. The fact that the company has 100,000,000 shares issued and outstanding does not mean that the company is worth $5 billion if the only volume comes from the two shares purchased by the fool from Nebraska.

Hi, Ashraf. I don't doubt the analysis of your excellent article. The small cap and micro cap space is full of frauds and promoters who overhype stocks of dubious value. However, in terms of actually shorting these pink sheet, low volume names - how practical is that? How readily can these names be borrowed for shorting? How easily is it to cover your short? Given that the price of these names can so easily be manipulated by others, are you in danger of a huge run-up of the stock, even if its fundamental value is zero or close to zero? What about the risks of a short squeeze? Sometimes, these companies change their names and ticker symbols just to squeeze the shorts. I've never done this type of trade before, and I am not sure I have the risk appetite for it. I am just curious how this type of thing works out in practice.

The company responds to GEO's allegations with its own security videos, taken on same dates, which directly contradic GEO's videos:
If the company's videos are true, then it appears that the fraudsters and crooks are the short sellers, not the company. In any event, this episode warrants an SEC investigation, because someone perpetrated a fraud here, it is just not clear who - the company or the short sellers.Jan 11, 2013. 04:28 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
I was also wondering about that. Why cameras on the truck zone, but not the rail area? And were the cameras on the truck zone correctly positioned? The short sellers claim they were, and emphasize that in their article, but it may not be so clear cut.

Also, I found GEO's attempts to associate LPH with PUDA unconvincing. It's a "friend of a friend of a friend"-type argument.

What I do not understand is... if the company is a complete fraud, why does it pay Chinese authorities so much in value added taxes? Photocopies of these tax receipts are contained in the company's website:
Are these receipts fake? Because these are value added taxes, you can calculate the company's revenues by working backwards. In fact, the auditor confirmed the tax information, and reconciled it with the company's financials.
I don't think GEO satisfactorily addresses the tax issue. Either the receipts are fake, or they are not. I doubt a company that is a fraud would pay taxes over phantom revenue.
Something fishy here, I'm just not sure who to believe... the short sellers or the company. In any event, tomorrow we'll have a press release from the company, which should shed light on the situation. It should be interesting.Jan 3, 2013. 08:32 PM | 1 Like |Link to Comment

Because we can collect, measure, and analyze so much data on the Web, you'd think e-tailing would be a marketer's dream. Too often, it's a nightmare. We're overwhelmed with too much data -- data that can be hard to distinguish from useful information. Here's how to figure out all those numbers. It's easier than you think. Really.
My partner (and brother) Jeffrey shared an insight last week while interviewing a prospective client. A senior vice president of marketing and sales, she is overwhelmed with all the data her staff produces. She's also a reader of this column, so she asked me why I never explained it here. Mea culpa! I'll share with you what Jeffrey shared with her.
Many of you know of our fondness for going back to basics, so I'll keep this simple and organize it by objectives, strategy, and tactics.
Getting a handle on your data and distilling lots of data into meaningful and manageable information -- it's really that simple! Promise.
Here's the information he gave to her:
I'm not oversimplifying. I can hear you saying, "What about this report or that metric?" We'll happily take the credit, but it wasn't Future Now that developed the science of management reporting. For a management reporting system to be meaningful, everything must flow into the financial statements. If you can think of a metric that doesn't seem to be a subset of one of these management reports, email me. Even if I can't show you how it is a subset, I probably can show you why it's not worth measuring.
First, let's define the concepts from the management reports:
Why are these are the key metrics you need to manage your business?
Gross and net sales and CGS. If you buy low, say $10 per unit, and sell high, say $15 per unit, $5 is the difference. Voila! Your gross profit. No gross profit, no business. I said it was simple -- and it doesn't get any simpler than that.
SPV. The idea is to increase your SPV (sell high). Factors affecting this include the quality of your traffic and merchandizing. You can improve your SPV by increasing your CCR, average order size, or both.
CPV. Lower your CPV (buy low). Factors affecting this are the effectiveness of your online presence and merchandizing. You can also improve your CPV by increasing your CCR, decreasing your marketing expenses, or both.
CCR. This is the heart of the matter. Put in place a system for increasing your CCR as an ongoing exercise. This exercise, more than anything else, will help you buy low and sell high. Nothing you can do will affect your profit and loss statement as dramatically or increase your return on investment (ROI) as much as improving your CCR.
E-commerce is a numbers game. The trick is to focus on the right numbers so that you can make accurate decisions about how to improve your site and, ultimately, your CCR. We offer a free download on our Web site: an Excel spreadsheet that instantly calculates the key metrics you need to track as you work to increase your conversion rate. My experience has been that few companies are collecting the right data or, like the executive mentioned above, are so overwhelmed with data that they don't know what to do with it. It's up to you: Will you drown in data that's voluminous but useless, or will you reap the benefits of meaningful information?
