Sure, sale conversions are the ultimate goal for Ecommerce business websites, however I do not think they should be the main focus of your marketing campaigns. Moving the focus from the sale to the views and interactions will create campaigns that will produce the conversions, however not right away. A lot of marketers may not see it this way, however I have proven through success of my campaigns that focusing on an action other than the conversions can produce even more sales in the end.

And when you empower good people with clear goals and a system to go about achieving them, you find that success is defined by processes. For example, I oversee a golf outing for my wrestling club every year and it’s a ton of work for everyone involv…

Sony’s refusal to attend hearings has sparked the outrage of its skeptics as the company turns a deaf ear to them, calling on the FBI and private investigators to help out in determining who is behind the recent attacks on their networks. The delays in publicly informing both clients and bodies of authority have not won them pity, but the company has slowly been dealing with the repercussions in their own way. In the letter sent May 3 to the US House of Representatives subcommittee created to deal with the matter, Sony executive Kazuo Hirai broke down the happenings in details, beginning with a start of a series of denial-of-service attacks on several of their companies and servers. These were DoS attacks that aim to disable user access to intended resources. Sony claims that the attacks coincided with the hacking, and the cybercriminals used it as a cover for their entrance into the system as Sony noticed the suspicious activities on April 19. By April 20 they had confirmed…
