I need ideas for promoting a cell phone store?
1) Signage! You need to make sure your store LOOKS like a store (and that people driving by will notice that you're there). 2) Offer a coupon for $5 off any cell phone, at your store only. And distribute that coupon in front of the store, on windshields in nearby parking lots, on the website if you can, etc. That $5 cost will drive foot traffic to your store, and will be well worth getting the ball rolling with your customers. 3) Can you get a local radio station to broadcast from your store one morning? This is easiest if you a) are a new store having a "grand opening" event, or b) if you offer the above discount to that station's listeners for 1 day only. Best of luck to you!
How do you stop Google from tracking you on the web?
Earlier this year, congress passed a resolution that allows internet service providers, like Comcast, Verizon and AT&T, to collect and sell your data.Typically, when someone goes to a webpage, they are visiting willingly. However, ISPs tracking user-data leaves users with few alternatives. If users are aware that a website is tracking them, they can avoid that site in favor of others. There are a limited number of internet providers, and some don’t allow users to opt-out of having data tracked.This Is How You Can Trick Google & Your ISPInternet Noise is an ingenious tool by Dan Schultz, and is a useful way to limit the effectiveness of data tracking. Emily Dreyfuss covered it for WIRED, back in March. It works by opening random webpages and performing searches in new tabs on your browser. The additional browsing activity provides noise in your web activity, so companies using your data don’t get an accurate depiction of your behavior.The Case Against AdvertisersAre ads targeted at you based your interests and recent behavior helpful or intrusive? Some people think they’re helpful, while others find them creepy.For those that feel these ads are unfair, or that they are manipulative and convince people to buy products they don’t want or need…we feel your pain. You can use these 8 Smart Ways to Maintain Your Digital Privacy. But if those still aren’t enough, then use Internet Noise to confuse them and skew their information about you even more.If you’re tired of advertisers knowing you better than your family, just flood them with fake browsing. If you are tired of seeing ads for the exact sunglasses you looked at one time, a month ago, fool them with some Internet Noise.“If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.”-Supreme Court Justice Louis BrandeisIf you don’t want to be restricted in your internet use because your activity might be monitored, the answer is not less internet use. It’s more internet use.Read more here.
How does Google earn money? Is it ads?
In February 2016, Google briefly overtook Apple to become the most valuable company in the world – worth more than $500bn (£350bn).In 2015 alone, Google had revenues of $75bn (£53bn). That’s about £1,675 a second. Yet its core service – search – costs nothing to use. So how does it make all its money?In numbers: Google in 2015Source: Google 2015 annual report (submitted to US Securities and Exchange Commission)A way with wordsGoogle makes most of its money from selling advertising opportunities on the search pages so many of us use.Advertisers bid to have ads for their products or services displayed on relevant search query result pages. A combination of the amount bid and the quality of a potential ad influences if an advertisement will feature at the top of the page, where more users are likely to see it. In order to encourage efficient bidding practices, Google uses a Vickrey auction system. Bidders don't know their rivals' bids. When all bids are in, the highest bidder wins but actually pays the price of the second highest bidder.But that's not the end of it. Google also takes into consideration the relevance of the advertiser's landing page to the search query. For example, if an advertiser has a page which is all about car insurance, it would have to bid less to appear high up in the paid advertising results for a user googling "car insurance" than an advertiser who has a page on general insurance. Google calls this 'Quality Score'.Charging for every clickThe attraction of the service to advertisers is they can target advertising at Google users who have already expressed an interest in what the advertiser sells and ignore Google users who have not. This is known as contextual advertising. Furthermore, advertisers only have to pay Google after someone has actually clicked on one of the ads they bid to have displayed – and they can set budgets to limit their monthly spend.Released in 2000, Adwords remains the primary source of Google's revenue. But Google also makes money from advertising when you're not on one of its sites at all. Its Adsense network places adverts on partner sites – from blogs to major content publishers – with the search giant taking a share of the revenue.INTERACTIVE: Searching for profitsSince its launch in 1998, Google has grown enormously in terms of both its revenue and its expanding portfolio of products.

Accidentally clicked on an illegal link?? Please help!!?
Most people who get arrested for child pornography, are because when they are searched due to some other crime or caught in the act, the FBI finds it on their computer by looking at there search history in person or take there computer back to the lab. The rare cases are when they bait people like illegal downloads, then track their IP addresses, but I don't think they would bait child pornography, because they too, would be in possession of pornography. It would be like police selling real drugs to dealers, then busted them. I wouldn't be worried, just delete your history and if it does come to worse and they come to your door, tell them you clicked in a random link for whatever reason from the site you were on. This way they can go after the people who ran that ad on the site, who will be in more trouble. Be careful next time, but don't sweat, it's the internet.
Is someone watching me through my computer?
Disabling the camera is not the solution only very small part of it. Anything that has an Ip address and in connected to any network can be hacked. If is a wireless toy also can be hacked. Make sure you have strong authentication type and passwords. Those will help. I don t know how technical are you but I can give you a simple example. go to your command prompt and type "netstat -a" to see all the open connections in your windows system. If you see something you don t recognize, you can close the ports in the windows firewall. This don t always help because Malwares can open other ports and connect to your machine. My suggestion, DONT DOWNLOAD ILEGAL SOFTWARE, MOVIES, MUSIC AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS FROM INTERNET. DONT INSERT USB MEDIA DEVICES OR USB CARDS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. HAVE YOUR ANTIVIRUS UPDATED ALL THE TIME. DONT VISIT WEBSITES THAT ARE NOT LEGIT (also be carefull with Google and Yahoo and Microsoft. I know they leave cookies on your browser to track your every action but that is not all ;) ).....I can suggest many other things but i am at work and i don t have much time now.
