It started with a phone call – on a Friday no less. On the other end, a long time client and friend who had just been pitched by an internet marketer. Why does this always happen to me? Excited at the prospect of thousands of visitors coming to his website for only a couple hundred dollars per month, his credit card was just burning a hole in his pocket. Luckily, he picked up the phone

Ideas. Everybody has them. Some create enormous fortunes, some never leave the drawing board, and others drive their creators into bankruptcy. Why? Is it the idea itself that it is somehow predestined for success? Is there some other factor that can take coal and turn it into a diamond?"The Idea Itself" TheoryInventors from all walks of life feel that the only thing standing between themselves

You are not lost . . . or maybe you are . . .I have decided to make a more bloggish looking blog, but not too bloggish, thus the style change. Perhaps this choice will last longer than the last one. Oops!Checking over the web statistics for the 4word systems site, it seems I may have made a little goof. . . . . It appears that a recent article criticizing a local web developer's work has managed

So, I've been talking to a lot of people lately (yes, real live humans) about web traffic, search engines, online advertising, internet marketing, internet retailers, link farms, and so on. It has become painfully obvious to me that almost nobody I talk with has ever heard of half the stuff I'm saying.This leads me to this installment of the blog. Let's chat for a few moments about the

My livlelyhood depends almost entirely on the fact that the overwhelming majority of people in IT at a big company are somewhere between incompetent and outright dangerous.

For a while now, I have been publishing various articles related to web design and related topics on my company website (http://4wordsystems.com). I have come to realize that this type of content was extremely well suited to a blog.
