There's always room for improvement, isn't there? Even if you've been in the Web hosting industry for ten years, and you've seen it all, you need to step back occasionally and ask yourself: Are we on the right path?
To this end, HostingCon and other conferences provide the proper venue to help one find the answers to the basic questions. Several veterans of the industry speak on the basic principles of Marketing your website, dealing with customers, increasing sales and the fundamentals of running a successful hosting operation. I've listened to these speeches, primarily because it's my job, but I always find something new and refreshing in the mix to rethink what we do and how we do it.
That's why it's always a good practice to revisit important subject matter on the basic principles even if you've read dozens of similar articles in the past. In this newsletter installment, Aplus.Net reminds us about the Five Pillars of Online Success. After you've read it, take a close look at your website or even better still examine your marketing strategy. If you don't have anything in need of remedy, I congratulate you and please send me the link to your site.

What Sites do the Kids Like Most?
What Web site is most favored by young people? MySpace? YouTube? CollegeHumor.com?
Nope, think more vanilla than that. It's Google, according to a survey of the top 10 favorite Web sites by researcher Youth Trends (as reported by eMarketer).
Google was chosen as a favorite site by 34% of males and 31% of females ages 16-25. The quarterly survey was conducted in July 2006 among a representative sample of 1,200 US teens and college students. Respondents were asked, on an unaided basis, to list their three favorite Web sites.
There were some strong differences in responses between males and females. Females were more likely to list social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook among their favorites than males were. Facebook was the second most popular site among females, with 29% calling it a favorite site, but it was the fourth most popular among males (17%). Females placed MySpace third, while males ranked it fifth on the list.
"Among male respondents, Google, ESPN and Yahoo! (not necessarily always in that order) have consistently been the top three favorite sites for some time," said Josh Weil of Youth Trends.
