If your competitors have generally renewed their domain names for one or two years, you might consider registering your domain name for 5 or 10 years.

Blog and email marketing are two totally different things. They are two complete different ways to market something, whether it is a product, or a service. You are going to find that just because someone may use email marketing to make an income, does not mean that they always use blog marketing as well.

Blog marketing is when you use a blog to promote a service or a product. You can market the product or service so that it appeals to others, and is something that they might want or need. By using a blog you can get the word out about the product that you are using and let others know all about it. There are several ways to do this. It can be done as simple or as complicated as you want. For example, you can market your blog by exchanging links with other blogs that are relevant to yours.

If you are concerned about your credit rating – you might like to check out the RMCN blog.  RMCN is a Credit Services Organization that specializes in Credit Restoration and Education.

This blog is packed full of useful tips to improve your credit scores and make the most of any bad credit problems you might have.  They also talk about credit repair and how to improve any problems you might have had with your credit report.

The latest article on the blog is about increases in your credit card interest rate and why these might have occurred.  Apparently there are many factors that could influence your bank’s decision to increase your credit card interest rate and the article lists the most common of these.  A few of these were quite a surprise to me, but now I know what not to do to get the best interest rate.

The blog has alot of good information on it, but as it is a blog it probably needs to be a bit more current – the most recent entry is listed as 2005.   The site itself is well laid out and easy to read.   Some links to external sites are a good resource and are helpful as are very much in context.

Some comments are responded to, which is great.  A blog really is an interactive medium and comments should be repsonded to promptly.  The questions asked are good and the reponses timely.  This kind of interaction pulls people back to keep reading the blog.   There was one post I liked in particular that was a response to a reader question.  This kind of format is great because it gives the site an interactive feel to it – there is a real someone on the end of the line!

The about page completes the picture- many folks leave these blank and this is a mistake.  This one has a good amount of information on it with helps give the author an aotuhritative air – not afraid to put their name to it and get the word out there about their products.

All in all, an interesting blog with good information, the only thing I would want is MORE!
