"WISE LITTLE TIDBITS"
ESSENTIAL COMPUTER CARE
Regularly blow compressed air through the inside of the computer, or put your vacuum on exhaust (after you clean the vacuum filter so you don't blow
stuff out the exhaust) and blow - it will get the dust build-up off so the laptop won't overheat as easily.
Make sure you turn the computer off by shutting down using your START button - don't just turn it off.
If your computer gets stuck, hit CTRL-ALT-DEL and shut down any programs running one at a time, or if you cannot
shut anything down, then manually turn the computer off and leave off for at least a minute so it can reset itself. Don't
try a "RESTART" - it needs to stay off to refigure itself out and clear out problems.
Don't download anything unless you know what it is, and who is sending it - you can get a virus
so easily. Also - you might want to look at your cookies occasionally and see if you want
certain sites to have cookies on your computer.
LAPTOPS
Take good care of your laptop - use it off of blankets - make sure not to ever cover the airholes.
Don't keep it plugged in with the battery - the battery will lose life being left on this way for long.
Do let the battery run all the way down or most of the way down, and then recharge all the way - that is best for battery life.
Don't leave it plugged in unattended - some can get quite hot, enough to cause a fire.

Q&A
Q. Why are my dollars being spent at Overture and Google but no business comes from my site?
A. First - see if your site actually looks the way you want it to - as suggested in the above article, you need to
look at your site from a browser - pull it up from the Internet to see it the way others see it. Look at it as if it is not your
site - would it compel you to buy from it? I know you believe people who are looking for your site will find what they want, but some
people are just "lookers" and not ready to buy. They want to be educated, and if you don't do a good job telling them why
they really can use your product to their benefit now, they might surf elsewhere to find out more and then be compelled to buy
from another site. Give information, but also show why your visitor needs this thing now.
Perhaps your pricing is too high, as well.
Perhaps people are not impressed with the site presentation. Maybe they don't see it as a credible looking site - perhaps you need to
work on that. Make sure all links work, all methods of contact for you are on the site, and promptly answer all emails and messages
that people do send to you. Look at your competition - what can you do better on with your site - what sets you apart as the
site people want to go to? Some people also feel sponsored sites are "dirty sites" that pay to have up-front presence but do not
deserve to be in search engines on their own merit. You still need to work on the search engines to put your site higher in the search.
One last suggestion - see if you know that your site is being monitored for fraudulent clicks - some competitors purposely click on
other sites just to run down money, so their competitors will get pushed out of the way and allow their sites to afford to be
#1 in the sponsored listings. I know Google checks into this and I've been reimbursed quite a bit of money for these fraudulent
clicks. Make sure any program you use takes fraud seriously and checks for abuse, plus reimburses you for the bad clicks (these
include multiple clicks from the same computer within a certain amount of time, or other abuse they can track).
