My debut article for the popular Website Magazine was released today. You can read it at Everyday Usability – 14-Point Checklist for Success.

It occurred to me while staring at the ceiling of my dentist’s office: My hygienist has a job like mine. She feels duty-bound to remind me of the benefits of regular flossing because it promotes healthy teeth and prevents problems down the road. So, I floss for a few days and then forget about it unless my mouth is in pain. When that happens, I beg for immediate help to fix the problem. This is not unlike when site owners come rushing to usability consultants in a panic; their website has a conversions emergency.
User behaviors change and evolve and it’s up to website owners to adapt. Constant attention must be given to how users and search engines interact with your site to ensure that you not only attract visitors, but give them reasons to come back. Because as every Web professional knows, the more users interact with your site, the better the odds they convert.
Read on to review the 14-Point Usability Checklist and please, let me know your thoughts on the article.

Internet network marketing is about people first not profits. The more helpful and valuable your information, the faster you can build your downline and the greater the chance those customers will purchase from you. This is the focus of the new internet network marketing concept called attraction marketing. By integrating this internet network marketing method into your business, you first build relationships by educating your buyers first and then moving them along the buying path in your communications to greatly increase profits on autopilot. Apart from you not spending anything on your self-generated fresh MLM leads, you can never be sure of the lead source when you just buy MLM leads.
Excellent Checklist
