What is the business model of the Internet's backbone infrastructure? For example, when I access Yahoo!, there is a connection between my home and my IPS, which I pay for, called the "last mile". My IPS probably pays some larger company to gain access to the Net, but from there on, the packets can go any route all away acrross thousands of miles to CA, USA. Most of the distance is covered through very expensive backbone connections (that connect cities, countries and continents together). Due to TCP's characteristics, there is no way of controlling what backbone my packets will be using, much less (I imagine) billing for it. So who pays for this investment?

Why can't record companies see that their business model is flawed and fading? Very recently Madonna and RadioHead who are now free from their contracts turned the music distribution tables on their heads when Madonna announced she had signed a contract with a promoter, not a record company and RadioHead is making its music avaiable on the internet for as little as 2 cents per song. It's like...Duh, we don't need record companies any more. I knew this a long time ago.

I am searching for an online home based business opportunity. What is the best Internet based business for me? I am in the process of doing my "homework" for finding a legitimate online home based business. First, this is what I will NOT even consider: 1) MLM 2) Get rich fast or overnight schemes that have all the stupid fake testimonials, screen shots of pay pal accounts overflowing with money, and websites with pictures of mansions and piles of cash. 3) Cash gifting 4) One page landing page pitches that ask you to "take a leap of faith." This is what I WILL consider: 1) An online business or affiliate program that has a reputable track record that can be verified. 2) Building my own PERSONALIZED website (no turnkey websites) having a legitimate product or service that is profitable and popular. 3) A home based business that has a solid business model that can be duplicated. I realize starting an online business will take time, money and work. And as I said before - I'm performing "due diligence" and I want to keep my start up costs under $800 (is this possible?). What are my best home based business options considering what I've laid out here?

What was the service that bought physical cds then rented the tracks on them over the internet? There was a service maybe 5 years ago that had the business model of buying a bunch of cds, then renting the tracks on them so that for each renter of the cd track online, they had a physical CD in their vault. I think it failed, but I can't remember the name of the service.

Is Internet Consulting Still A Viable Model by 2014? Offshore rates for just about any skill you can Google are excessively prominent in the search results. How can I charge a decent rate for SEO, Analytics, coding or design, if basic research shows all my prospective clients that they have have all this an more ... "from $13 per hour"? Moreover, I've seen 2 web production houses nearby - close down, and I don't see any thriving. Internet marketing seems better positioned than coding or design, but still seems to be in a precarious position, just maybe 5 years further down the road. But aren't these still technical (albeit technical marketing) skills? So ... is there a future in running any sort of internet consulting business? Or is this akin to being the world's best car machinist in Detroit, back in 1987?

I need ideas for an internet business? I manage some commercial property and it is awfully quiet most of the time. Basically, I am my own boss and I can do whatever I want with my day. The real estate market is dead and I'm sick of that whole business. I'm bored, not having much productive work to do, plus I want to make some money. Rent is no problem as my family owns the property. I have several hundred feet of storage space that could be used as a medical/legal records storage facility among other things. My personal office space is fairly large. It could easily accommodate 3-4 people to operate another business. Therein lies the problem. What exactly should that business be? Someone suggested a modelling agency but I've been out of that business for many years and I really don't have the business contacts to guarantee jobs for models. I'm an excellent writer, (don't judge by this quick Yahoo question,) I'm articulate, I have strong presentation skills, a very good appearance, and am willing to put in time to make this a success. What type of business could I do from this office? Sorry for my long question, but I appreciate all answers. Thanks. I said internet business, but I'm not limited to that. I'm also looking at a regular type of business. Thanks, but many of those internet sites are questionable. The type of internet business I mean is one where I could perhaps be distributor for products, or a service provider of some sort.

Can anyone tell me what a pricing model looks like primarily? I am a student and have been assigned to create a pricing model for a mock business.

Working with an advanced Coder/Programmer? I'm an entrepreneur who has a strong innovative internet business model that I feel will shake up the internet. I have been in contact with numerous vc's and angel investors who say that my plan is brilliant, but without traction they will not invest. But when I get traction they would like for me to contact them again. i would like to work together with a programmer to launch the site. I am not looking to be the next Mark Zuckerburg because I know with the help from the programmer, angel investor, vc's, etc., my equity stake will be less substantial. I'm just looking for residual income and would be happy with a 5% to 10% stake after everything is said and done. Full business plan available. Are there any coders/programmers out there interested in seeing my business plan?

Will my internet be faster if I upgrade my modem/router? I'm using a 2WIRE 2700HG-B (roughly 4 years old), which works perfectly. However, I have a very fast connection, and I'm afraid that by using an older modem, I'm not receiving the full benefits of the speed. Right now, ATT recommends either the 2Wire DSL Gateway Model 2701HG-B or the Motorola Wi-Fi Business Router Model 3347. Should I upgrade? Or is the difference too minimal for an upgrade to be worthwhile? Thanks!

How do I start my own internet business? (See Details)? I like to make little crafts, like tiny clay models of cakes and such and make them into charms, or quilt, or make baby fabric books that are machine washable, etc. I'd really like to have my own website, where people can come and look at an item, put it in their basket, buy it, and I mail it to them - but I can't pay a lot for a web domain name. I have seen websites like etsy, but they charge you every time you post something. I'd rather pay a fee just to have the website, and then be able to control everything myself, but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. Any ideas? Thanks!

INTERNET PORN STAR BUSINESS? One of my friends called me today and told me she's going into the porn business....I found it to be bit bizarre UNTIL she told me she is 50,000 in debt and needs to make money ASAP. It doesn't bother me none if she does porn ( if anybody I knew did porn) I support her decision 100% ( and no Im not in the porn industry). She has the perfect shape, built like a coke bottle, and she has done some video modeling also. I told her instead of hitting head first and doing a desperate trick for a penny, into the Porn Industry she may like doing the Internet Porn before doing straight porn. I figured it would be the best route since it is in a controlled setting and she can do as she pleases with her own body. My question: Does Internet Porn ( Live Web Cam Sex ) make money?? How does one commence into the business?? What is a great site to start since there are so many out there?? Would she be better making her own site?? Will greatly appreciate the responses (:

Is the internet killing our music? ? Whilst the Internet looked for a while like it might be of some use for musicians, I think that P2P and piracy in general have completely negated any potential benefits it may once have promised. In short I believe that the Internet is the worst thing in history ever to happen to music, and it has quickly evolved into a cunning tool for simply exploiting and abusing musicians. I have a new business model - get out, and quickly! Who agrees with this statement?

I need a website lease agreement. Any suggestions? In the last year we launched a locally-focused website. It's grown so popular that my partners and I are launching several more. But now we're looking at a new business model... to offer a lease option for these sites. The person looking to start a new internet business would pay a yearly fee for the complete and fully functional site... and in turn, would make considerably more money back through advertising. So anyway, I was trying to find a lease online that would more or less cover this. Any idea where to look?

What business should I start, considering my strengths which I've listed? Please suggest.? Guys, I've been thinking about starting a business since quite a long time now. The thing is, I'm an engineer and 22 years of age. I was working for an internet marketing firm till December. I enjoyed my work for around 3-4 months, got some lucrative incentives because of my performances but eventually quit after 6 months. I was even offered a promotion just before leaving but I wanted to join my dad's business. Learning in a business made much more sense to me since I want to do business, ultimately. Working in dad's business (which is quite orthodox) is nice but I have always felt that my strengths can be better utilized in an IT related business. Now, the thing is, I have freedom to start my own business but I'm very very confused as to what to do. I've been assessing my strengths and passions and trying to figure out what could be the best for me. I need help on this. I've been looking for various websites wherein I can get some guidance but there aren't many good ones. I'm hoping some of you experts out there can suggest me a business option, looking at my strengths and passions. Because I know one thing for sure.. If I'm passionate and determined for something, then there is no stopping me.. Have just been like that always. :) There have been days when I've stayed up for 48 hours, forgetting the world outside and just doing what I want to do and passionate about.. Now, as per my research, I have come down to following points, 1. I have loved drawing since childhood. I have even scored good grades in extra curricular drawing exams. My memory drawing is not so good I feel, wherein you have to think a picture in mind and then draw. But if you ask me to replicate like pencil sketching, still drawing/painting, cartoons or even engineering drawing, I can draw it inch perfect. But I've lost track of sketching and painting after school. 2. I've loved computers since childhood. Whether it's school, junior college or engineering college, people have approached me whenever it has been to do with computers. I know HTML, CSS, Javascript well and also C, C++ to an extent. I have even made a website during college days. I like to do computer programming but lost track of it since last 3 years. I'm learning it back again with Javascript and stuff. 3. I'm very passionate about gaming and football. You'd see me wasting hours and hours playing football games and watching football matches. I know my stuff when it comes to my favorite games or even favorite teams in football. 4. I've discovered over the time that I relate everything in life to Logic. Based on that I feel that I have a very strong Logic. Even my friends suggested me that same when I asked them about my strengths. Secondly, sometimes I feel I'm a born critic. :P I can find loopholes and suggest improvements in anything and everything. 5. I love gadgets. I love to own the best of them available in market and whenever I see a new one, I explore it how much ever I can. 6. I love the idea of doing a business. The whole logic of business just excites me. Step by step you start with a small product based on market demand, refine it day by day, market it appropriately, earn profits, create jobs and slowly and steadily you start conquering the market which your business targets. Overall you learn so much from a business and also it's all your way. I have never feared failure and always believed that failure is indeed an opportunity. So overall I feel I was born to do business. Now, some of the things that I have considered as a business model. 1. Creating a website based on my passions which will help every individual I'm targeting for my market. For example, creating a 'football network' where match analysis, news, updates, etc is available which people like to read. Such a website which has rich content and generates millions of visitors per month, is very lucrative. Just a random example. 2. iPhone and Android apps development. I don't have much idea about mobile app development and do not know how challenging it is. Since I like programming and I feel that I have enough creativity to make these, and considering that I like gadgets and the kind of apps that are available, this is one option that I feel is great. 3. Another type of business model is a service business. There are uncountable people who own websites for their business and not every website is perfect. I've seen loopholes in so many websites and there is a lot that can be done on websites to improve the user interface/user experience/usability for the same. If I charge other business for improving their websites and thus improving their business, I feel I can get paid a lot through this. 4. Please suggest more. Lastly. Weaknesses. 1. Impatience 2. Procrastination 3. Jumping from one thing to other very often 4. Boredom. I hate monotonous, repetitive things. Always want someth

What online business models are working in 2011? Are there any that are good to start in 2011? Here's what I see: 1. Saas Businesses (online services) - there are sooo many young entrepreneurs and engineers and so much angel money in silicon valley .. but too few ideas. Consequently, I'm seeing a ton of competition for every single idea I can come up with. Is there still room for a new entrant in 2011? 2. Web Agencies - Another possibility would be to start a web production company that builds online websites and software for clients. Problem is twofold - (a) when I type in key phrases in Google that I might try to market with, I get pages of results from Google for engineers and marketing services "from $18 per hour", from India and elsewhere. Also (b) I'm not seeing many thriving agencies around me. In fact, the one down the street from me and another prominent one a few miles away, recently closed down. Has this work effectively been outsourced and margins squeezed to oblivion? 3. Web Marketing (SEO, PPC, Social, Analytics) - This area seems to be doing better than production agencies and I see more examples of success around me. But aren't most of these skills also technical in nature? Aren't the should-be channel partners (google, bing, etc) also competing directly against these agencies? I fear these companies face the same fate as web production agencies, 5 years from now. These are the only models I seem to be able to come up with, for someone with years of experience in Internet development and marketing. Unfortunately, I have serious doubts about all of them. Is there another model I am missing? Am I wrong about these?

What is the best make and model of laptop for me? Any suggestions? After researching the different laptops available i am still confused!! It will be for personal use not business. I tend to use it for surfing the internet (e.g. email, social networking, shopping), playing basic games i've bought on disc (e.g. mahjong, trivial pursuit) and i put photos from my digital camera on it. I use broadband but it is not wireless.

Online business competition? I've been planning an online business startup where the business model would be much like a dating site (though that's not at all what this site will be) and it seems a perfect business model with no inventory to keep or items to package and ship. I thought I would be the very first site of this kind on the internet, but I just found out today that someone else is doing almost the exact same thing. They seem to be just a little bit ahead of me. Should I give up and get a real job or should I fight and compete? Do you think one or the other of us would win, strangling the other to death? Or do you think we will just stake our share in the market like coke and pepsi?

What Business Model would make a higher ROI for our Internet Cafe? Our family-owned DSL-LAN connected 13+1 seats Internet Cafe (located in the frontage of our bungalow house inside a middle-class 30yr-old 500-household neighborhood) had operated off & on for about 2 years - and had been patronized mostly by teen-age boys addicted to e-Gaming. As my Son (a Computer Engineer employed elsewhere as a full time Software Engineer) decided to close Shop 2 months ago, I hired a Computer Technician to recondition all our PCs - and to function as our Internet Cafe Attendant. Inasmuch as noisy excitable e-Gamers do not provide a quiet environment, I have decided to cater only to non-gaming Internet Users - mostly teenage girls. I envision our Internet Cafe to operate (24x7, if need be) as a Workplace - perhaps: (1st) to accept outsourced jobs as a Call Center, Data Transcription, etc; (2nd) to be an e-Learning Center for both the Young & Old. Q1: Are there e-Learning Courses (Computer/Internet Classes for Senior Citizens & for Pre-Schoolers) freely available in the Internet? Q2: Is there a listing of prospective American &/or European Clients wanting to outsource jobs to Philippine-based "mini" Call Centers, Data Transcription Centers, etc

My Business Idea? Ok here's what I was planning to do but had trouble finding a supplier. Please rate this idea and give me your honest answer. I was going to start a jewelry business on the Avon business model. Actively marketing my products instead of waiting for customers. The Jewelry I was going to sell is very appealing to the eye and very desirable. I was also going to sell it an affordable price. Appealing, quality hand made gold and silver jewelry sold actively by women to women and also on the internet and on ebay. Eventually I was also going to try and negotiate with jewelry stores. Please tell me if this idea would have failed and why?? I know that everyone is selling jewelry, but this jewelry like I said is very very desirable and very pleasing to the eye. It's hand made 18k gold with nice gem stones and it wins in international competitions every time!! That is what my strength would be, the beauty and quality of the product. The ladies would have to order it just like with Avon and it would take a week or so to get, but they would not be disappointed!!

Serious question and seeking help from people who are in a business themselves. and eccmmernce help.? First before i start, please do not answer this question if you are trying to con me into a lame work from home program with no financial gain or a real business model. I was wondering how many people are in a business that really works? weather it is home based ( no frauds, and only bbb certified). or direct sales with a product that actually worth selling. Im trying to gather as much information as well about eccommernce. where would i begin as far as building a store and having products to sell. Im looking to have me a bussiness going, but as many of you know looking on the internet can be helpful but can also be a way to get scammed. Is there anyone successful at a business in any of the areas i just mention? if so could you give me some help on where to begin, or maybe even a little mentoring and guidance. Like i said before any hair brain money making scheam is not what im looking for and i will have the business model reviewed for extra security purposes, so Can any one Help?

Internet fraud conmen posing as american business men? did anyone see that show on Britisih tv, think it was BBC 1 last week about the conmen from Africa who posed as sucessful American business men, pretending to be perfect gentlemen.

Does anyone have anymore information on it? We need to find out? It may be happening to someone we know. Anyone know any sites with pics on?

How Do I Report Internet Sales Companies that Practice Bad Business? I recently purchased an air conditioner from a website (HarperSupplyOnline.com). They had the best price and shipping was free. Today I get a phone call saying they ran out of stock on this item, however they could sell me a less powerful model for the same price. I am suspicious of this behavior for two reasons: I don't understand why they could not restock their inventory, and why would they sell me a less powerful model for the same price? I believe they made a listing mistake on their website, and this is an attempt to fix their mistake. I would like to report this issue to as many review websites and government agencies as I can. What websites can I turn to for help? Thanks.

What has the internet (or YA more specifically!) killed off in your life? Edit: There are 50 things listed in the link above that are in the process of being killed off by the web, from products and business models to life experiences and habits. The first 3 : 1) The art of polite disagreement While the inane spats of YouTube commencers may not be representative, the internet has certainly sharpened the tone of debate. 2) Fear that you are the only person unmoved by a celebrity's death 3) Listening to an album all the way through..... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/6133903/50-things-that-are-being-killed-by-the-internet.html

How do I start a website? I have a really good idea for a website (I think) but I dont know how to go about starting it or how to build a business model to even get started. Its not an internet business...it would be a site that is free to the public but eventually would generate money through advertising like Myspace and Facebook (but it is not a social networking site). Any help, books I can read etc would be helpful. I want it to be a real website, not something I make up on like geocities or godaddy.com. Thanks!

I plan on buying a new car and i know which make and model i want.? I have decided to use the internet in my favor. I want to keep this simple and not have to go to 6 dealerships to compare prices. I know there are sites where local dealerships bid with the best prices for your business. Which sites are best for this? Has anyone had any true life experiences with this practice? Pro's or con's please? Thanks.

Who's behind ASDCASHGENERATOR? ASD Cash Generator is a "profit/revenue- share" type internet advertising company that allows you to generate money by viewing websites. I'm using ASD to advertise 5 of my sites and have received real traffic and leads from it. Each day a paid member views ads, they get a share in the profits of the company paid directly to their accounts until the member pockets 25% more than they spent. At the time of this writing, their current daily interest rate has been averaging about 0.50% - 2% per day, and is primarily based on the total the number of ad package sales for the previous day. The daily rebate rate will vary and is not fixed. All you have to do is view 24 web sites each day for 15 seconds each to receive your daily rebate that equals to about 6 minutes. Who's running the show? The company was founded over a year ago by CEO, Andy Bowdoin. In doing my due diligence and searching over 9 pages of information on Google on him (all positive), I found that he has quite an extraordinary reputation, not only as a career Advertising man, but as a man of exceptional integrity. He has over 40 years experience in sales and marketing, and has had success in everything he's done. He started his sales career working with the Dale Carnegie Courses in the early sixties and later worked with the Napoleon Hill Leadership Program. Andy has trained thousands of sales people during his career and started several companies. He expanded a 60-minute dry cleaning franchise throughout the Southeast and Midwest. He developed a company that sold wireless communication franchises throughout the U.S. and then started a company to market credit card processing for merchants. In 1999, Andy did research and discovered a need for GPS Tracking for fleet vehicles and GPS Tech was created. In 2006, Andy again saw a new opportunity - the need for a new way to deliver advertising to the masses and Ad Surf Daily, Inc. was born. He modified his marketing strategies for the internet and attracted over 5,000 members in 120 days and sold over $1,200,000 in services. He now teaches his ASD members his strategies to help them build their internet businesses. ASD has a physical office located in Quincy Florida, a state of the art online support ticketing system and real telephone support where customer service reps handle all support questions or inquiries. One of the big perks with this program is they have an account with Bank of America where you can make direct deposits. They withstood a rigorous Verification Process (common sense will tell you Bank of America doesn't do business with scams). * Sustainable Payout Structure, NO guarantee of earnings in a set time. * Daily Payouts fluctuate with daily sales - true Profit Sharing, NOT a Ponzi. * Daily sales posted each day with your exact payout percentage. * Zero Cost Membership. * Structured like a REAL business with CEO, Executive Officers, Chief Administrator * Full information on CEO, not some 'anonymous' admin How is the company revenue distributed? The ASD Cash Generator business plan pays 50% of all daily ad buys back to the advertisers, 15% in referral commissions (on two levels) and 25% for expenses and corporate profits. By never paying out more than they take in, ASD will never encounter the cash-flow problems that have plagued other paid-to-surf programs. You'll receive a variable percentage daily of that 50% revenue, for surfing 24 sites daily, until you reach 125% of your ad purchase (25% profit), and then you'll re-cycle. Members in the US are sent 1099s for any net profits (not advertising purchases) earned each year from ASD, but you can write off anything you purchase in advertising packages, and in turn, save money on your taxes! Note: ASD Cash Generator is actually the 3rd get-paid-to-surf type program Andy has created. The first two programs were discontinued last year due to programming script problems. All the previous members had their balances transferred over to the new restructured ASD Cash Generator program or were refunded. ASD Cash Generator launched in July 2007. Speak Spanish? ASD also has a Spanish version of the English ASD website for those wishing to either view Spanish-based websites or know people who would like to earn money surfing a Spanish site. It's set to be available for surfing and advertising in the beginning of February. No sponsoring or recruiting is required, but for those that wish to refer others to ASD, they have a referral program that pays up to a 10% commission from the ad credits purchased that you personally refer, and up to a 5% commission from the ad credits of those referred by your direct referrals for a total of 15% total referral commission paid on 2 levels. What's the maximum number of Ad Packages I can purchase? Twelve thousand (12000). Ad Packages are $1.00 each, so the maximum you can own at any one time is $12,000 USD. ASD requires that you have a product, service, program or opportunity that includes a web site to advertise in order to be an advertiser. Note: If you don't have a website to advertise, you can contact me for one to use. 3 Membership Levels: (Optional monthly subscription) You can join ASD for FREE to advertise your site, or you can upgrade and advertise your business and earn cash-back rebates at the same time. The free membership will always be there and advertisers can get FREE advertising by viewing other web sites on the ASD Cash Generator Web Site. An advertiser can pay a monthly membership fee and reduce cash out fees, increase referral commissions and decrease the number of sites to view on a daily basis. The amount of your monthly membership fee determines the number of times you can cash out each week, the amount of your referral commissions and the number of sites you must view each day to receive your rebates. Monthly Memberships: * $10 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays Only and 5% referral commission for 1st level and 3% on 2nd level, * $25 per mo. fee = Cashout on Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays and 7% referral commission for 1st level and 4% on 2nd level, * $100 per mo. fee = Exec. VIP Plan, Cashout DAILY and 10% referral commission on 1st level and 5% on 2nd level. Special Promotion through Tuesday, January 22, 2008. If you purchase $500 - $999 in Ad Package purchases, you'll receive 3 month Exec. VIP membership level upgrade. For $1,000- $1,999 in Ad Package purchases, you'll receive 6 months Exec. VIP membership level, and for $2000 or more in Ad Package purchases, you'll receive 1 year Exec. VIP membership level upgrade. Do I have to pay a membership fee? No. If you just want to be a passive member in ASD and receive cash back rebates from your ad purchases, you don't need to pay a monthly membership fee. It's primarily for people who choose to refer other advertisers or want to increase the frequency that they can withdraw their profits. If you don't pay a membership fee and you decide to refer others (optional), you'll be paid a 3% referral commission on all of your personal referrals only. What payment processors are available? Currently Alert Pay, Solid Trust Pay ,direct deposit into Bank of America account, cashier checks and mail in money order. Soon to come will be an International Debit card What happens if I'm unable to view and rate websites on any given day? If you miss a day and you're unable to view and rate ads (for any reason) you don't lose anything, it just freezes and extends the time line until you come back. Personal opinion: From everything I've researched, Andy Bowdoin is a man of integrity who does what he says he's going to do. He has a rock-solid business plan and experience based on verifiable and publicly available information. Everything is very transparent. His business model is a win win for everyone and very lucrative for both passive and active members. Advertisers who simply want to be sure their website get seen, get exactly what they pay for. Entrepreneurs who want a passive way of growing their money, get the ability of doing so for simply viewing ads daily. They get quality prospects visiting their websites which will ultimately turn into sign ups, sales, or more business partners. You can get a 25% bonus on your advertising dollars spent for simply investing 10 minutes per day to view others sites. So if you purchase $1,000 in advertising from ASD, you'll get paid daily until you receive $1,250 back. It doesn't matter if you purchase an ad for $10 or $500... if you do nothing else but view ads, the results are the same and you'll eventually earn 125% of what you spend (25% net profit). If you look at their Alexa traffic ranking in the chart below, you'll see that there's tremendous momentum with this program right now. Here's how to sign up: 1. Click on this link: http://www.asdcashgenerator.com/?ref=20470, read the FAQ and Terms & Conditions, etc., then click on the link right under the top banner that says "Sign-up."

Internet Problem; AIM and Limewire work, but browsers can't load webpages? Here's the situation: Inexplicably, this problem with my network/Internet is occurred. I will be minding my own business browsing the internet, when my web pages won't load anymore. I look at AIM and I'm still connected. Same goes for Limewire. Ok so I close Mozilla Firefox and try to open it again, but an error message comes up saying I must close the existing process or restart my computer. I attempt to close the process, but it won't close. SO i move onto Opera, and see I can browse perfectly. 10 Minutes later, Opera freezes (program and process). Once again I can't close the process. Internet explorer acts like Mozilla if I attempt to use it. Yet this whole time, I am still connected to iTunes Store, Limewire, and AIM. WHY?????? I have tried literally every trick in the book. My anti-virus (avast!), firewall (zonealarm), and anti-spyware (ad-aware) don't pick up anything! On top of that, I use CCleaner, which didn't solve my problem. I've called Verizon Support TWICE! Both times help for about a few hours, and then the problem came back. I cannot system restore since I turned it off when I had a virus last year. I already used disk cleanup, disk defragmenter. I've power cycled my modem and router. I googled everything about my problem and nothing helped. I even used some command prompt stuff. Basically, in attempting and failing to solve my problem, I've learned about so many ways to fix my computer for other things xD! What can I do???? I'm considering a fresh install, wiping my hard drive etc. That seems to be the only solution as of now. I can back up stuff I need on dvd disks and I have a list of programs I will want back on paper. HELLPPPP!! OS: WIndows Vista Home Premium 32 bit SP1 ISP: Verizon DSL 100 Mbps Modem: Westell Model 6100 in Bridge Mode Router: Netgear MR814v2 @ JoelKatz: I've tried that so no luck. But I did encounter a website that said to completely uninstall zonealarm because that could be the source of my problems. I did so we'll see. @ the kid who said try linux: its the family computer, not my personal one. so i can't plus i wouldn't considering windows is more compatible with many programs.

How is Google legal? As far as I can tell, their business model relies on crawling the entire Internet, then downloading it to their servers and presenting that content within their websites, then linking to these sites. So my question is: How is this legal? Some sites explicitly forbid crawling in their TOS. Is it just that no one has sued yet?

Is it true that an internet used car price can not be negotiated down? So...Its car buying time and I'm so excited! (NOT!) With car dealers trying to fast talk you and shovel the keys down your throat to that "HOT" car that is going to sell out if you don't jump on the opportunity who's not going to be ecstatic. Anyway on to my question...So I walk onto the lot and spot the car from the dealers online website. But when we get down to business he claims that an internet price can not be negotiated down because of some lame excuse about the car coming from somewhere else with that price so they can't do anything about the price. Can he be serious? Since when can you not work out a deal and get a price of a car down? In the end of course I ended up walking away and that same afternoon found the same make/model car that was the same year for a couple thousand less, has a better engine, also had a sunroof and to top it off is about 13000 miles less! So how serious was this dude?! And yes Mr.Dealermole this guy was trying to make a deal...they wouldn't even let us leave trying to make their point about how i won't find a deal like that one and so on and so on...they even added more money for my trade-in but it just wasn't good enough! Give me a break!

Any genuine Internet Marketing guru who would be interested to work with a well informed learner? Knowing already quite a bit about the main fields and areas when making money through the internet marketing and seo but unfortunately lacking the final realisation in my real making money on the internet, perhaps you as an experienced internet marketing expert and I as an excellent people man with significant contacts (e.g property investors and finders, etc) as well as a super extrovert and sociable guy interested in starting up a sort of business linked with the photo-modeling field and female beauty industry could find some things in common and decide to start a successful online business together. Please, share with me your thoughts and ideas. Many Thanks and God Bless!!!

Have you been ripped off by Pharminex / Nu Skin / OTG MLM? I answered an internet ad for "wealth generation". I spoke with Elaine and George Cavellerios and they gave me a verbal agreement that if I wasn't happy with the business model then I would receive my $1,200.00 back. Well, I'm not happy and surprise, surprise, Elaine and George now say they never gave me that guarantee.

How to set up a model agency in the UK? am with an agency nd I have only had minor jobs and if I never get any work in modeling or when I become too old to model, I think i'd enjoy running an agency. I dont live in an area where there are any large firms that employ people but I know that I will need to have a business partner who is good with photography or I need to learn. I know all agencies need to make contacts with firms that use models, but there is next to nothing on the internet with help or guidance to running an agency. I have researched the market and I am hoping to move to Leeds this year or next year where there are a few including one of my agents. Help such as 'dont bother, there are enough agencies' or 'the credit crunch' is not helpful. But HELPFUL answers would be very much appreciated xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thanks Brandy

Where on the internet can I find a screenplay contract? Like an idiot, I let og of my agent a little over a year ago. I have found a director in Dallas who wants to purchase the option and the rights to produce. I just need a model contract of some sort to basically fill in the blanks. Although I have been in the business for a few years, I have no idea how the contract should look. He is a director, and not usually a producer, so he is in the same boat as me. Any help would be great.

Should i change from Sole Trader to Ltd Company or LLP (Limited Partnership)? Please can you help… At the moment I am a sole trader. I sell a few information products online (Ebooks, etc). My profits for last year was £7000. I am upping the game a bit now & rolling out a load more products. What I also want to do is release these through a different business name called something like ‘XYZ Publishing.’ I won’t be doing any printing, etc. It will only be a ‘publishing business’ by name on the internet purely because ethere’s where people go to buy books. Our business model has estimated my annual profits to rise to £30,000 for 2009 followed by £150,000 in 2010. I have a couple of questions & I apologise for being greedy & asking more than 1 question at once. My first question is, ‘Should I remain as a Sole Trader, form a Ltd Company (with 100% shares allocated to me) or set up with my Wife as a LLP (Ltd Liability Partnership)? Although as a Sole Trader I understand that I will have certain tax advantages but some of my info products are contentious and I would like the ‘limited liability’ protection to protect my house & family if someone decided to sue me (instead they would have to sue the company). But then I understand that the I will have to pay tax at a higher rate (corporation tax) as a Ltd Company. I have also heard recently that if I set up as a Ltd Partnership (LLP) with my Wife, then LLP’s have the limited liability protection but don’t have to pay the Corporation Tax (effectively you get taxed less). The flip-side that makes me think that a Ltd Company may be the best option is that I’ve been told that as a Ltd Company I will be able to reclaim all costs relating to ‘entertaining clients’ and even ‘business trips’ to countries abroad (e.g.- airfare to Egypt when I research a product that I’m looking at developing over there). My second question is…….’Whilst my Sales are below the threshold’ is it worthwhile me becoming VAT registered?’ Why I ask this is because I will be able to claim back VAT on mileage, also many of my products are business related so corporations will be able to claim the VAT back on their purchases form me. Are there any other advantages or disadvantages (tax or otherwise) in voluntarily becoming VAT registered? Thanks for any help. I will be seeking independent financial advice but would like a heads-up prior to my accountant’s appointment. Thanks.

Which makes a better PC computer...HP or Gateway? We're making the leap from Mac to PC and don't know which kind to buy. We can't spend a bundle, but we also don't want the worst thing out there. We want something fast and efficient for basic word processing, Internet business, and digital photos. For mid-level models, we've been focusing on HP and Gateway...any suggestions as to which is better, or are there other brands that we should be seriously considering? One limitation: we have to use our Best Buy card!

Looking for an angel investor or VC firm that would be interested in an Internet Start-up (sports related)? I am working on the business plan as we speak, but would like to know some contacts in the NYC area to work with or discuss my startup (I already have a test model site up and running successfully).

Dreaming of being a famous model? I know it sounds stupid and unrealistic, but I would LOVE to be a famous model. Confidence is key, i know, and I am very confident in myself. I love getting dressed up in little dresses and go clubbing, and watch all the guys staring as I walk past.. doing this for a living would be fantastic - as well as getting paid a lot!! My measurements are 28--38-28 and I am 5ft7. I was looking on the internet for jobs, as I have just moved to this beach town in Australia, and they are advertising for magazine/promo models - no experience necessary. I sent my photos and details, and I got an email back telling me to call them tomorrow to get my casting time on friday. I want to, I really do... but I am embarrassed. Should I go? How can I get over this fear that they will reject me? I know in this business there will always be rejection.. but this is my first time and I'm not sure about anything that will happen at this "casting". Can anyone give me advice??
