I recently came across an advertisement from Fool.com talking about Bill Gates “biggest fear.” Of course, I could guess right off the bat, even before inputting my email for them to spam my inbox that they would say it’s cloud computing.

SEO has become a hot topic as marketing on the internet becomes more and more of an important medium to reach your target audience. However, when promoting a new product or website, it’s difficult to rank on Google because the elusive Google “Sandbox.”
The Sandbox is a “probation” of sorts. Newly-created websites are usually “sandboxed” and can’t rank for competitive keywords on Google to prevent spam. Google has never officially accepted or denied the existance of the sandbox; however, most SEO gurus will agree that it exists.
In order to avoid the Google Sandbox, you need to resort to hacks, but the simplest methods are:
1. Blogs
2. Buying an aged domain
The key is age. Buying an aged domain may be a quick fix, but it can sometimes be expensive.
Blogs are the cheapest and easiest way. You can easily setup a blog at a website such as http://www.blogspot.com in minutes. Setting up blogs are much easier than setting up full-blown custom websites.
Once you have setup your blog, you may have a URL such as:
http://mysite.blogspot.com
Since you are a subdomain of the blogspot.com, you get the advantage of blogspot.com’s domain age. You can now instantly promote your content or products via a blog. Blogs are also proven to increase conversion rates since people view blogs as a more “trustworthy” and “open” source of information.

There’s been a lot of buzz about greentech and “clean” energy lately. While “going green” definitely results in long-term cost savings and helps to reduce pollution, is the excitement turning into the next bubble?
Sure, it’s not as bad as the dot com boom when companies would get millions without a business model, but greentech startups are springing up left and right. Venture capitalists, on the other hand, seem to more than willing to commit hoards of cash to these startups. Yet, how many greentech companies have shown much promise? There has been one greentech IPO thus far, and the company wasn’t even profitable — yet, the valuations just keep going up.
When the market capitalization as a ratio of profit does not make sense, we have a bubble. What do you think?
