You are the experts.

Computer Q & A is giving you the forum. If you know more about computers than anyone at school or at work, then this is the site for you to shine! Here is where you can help people with their computer problems, or just submit tips for them to try. Most people who use computers are afraid of them. To people like you and me, this is funny. Imagine the joy you can bring to someone's mom or dad who were given their computer so the kids could keep in touch with email, even though they don't know the first thing about the Internet, their hardware, or even what a modem is. All you have to do is point them in this direction and then answer any questions they may have...

The Internet: Not just for surfing any more!

I am excited about an ezine coming out on August 1, 2000 called The Living Internet. The subject will be the thousands of exciting uses people have made for the Internet. To subscribe just click on the title and send a blank email to: The_Living_Internet-subscribe@onelist.com

As the editor of The Living Internet, I will be surfing and chatting with people to find out what new, interesting and life-changing things there are to do online. Who would have thought that a group of people online could come together and help each other out with Free Computer Advice? The web has evolved into a living community that thrives on making lives simpler and more convenient. That means you can expect great links to sites that will offer you entertainment, (G ratings only folks...) information, convenience, with brief looks at downloadable software that will help us do what we do easier.

You deserve to have your site promoted!

If you are a webmaster or are putting together a website just for fun, you are going to need to promote it. I learned that people do NOT just automatically flock to your site as soon as you finish creating it. Your site will benefit from exchanging links with other webmasters. Preferably ones who get thousands of visitors each day! But how do you do that? Banner exchanging is one such way. A free account at the Computer Q & A Bannerco-op will take the hits you are currently getting and translate that into more exposure. For each time someone visits your site, the Bannerco-op shows your banner on someone else's site. This is rather powerful, because you are getting exposure in places you probably would not have thought to advertise. Not only is the banner exchange free, but we also will give you access to our banner wizard which lets you pump out quality, professional looking banners quickly and easily.

Buy Clicks and Get Hits!

A second option is to buy click-throughs (click-thrus or clicks) from the Computer Q & A Bannerco-op. This is the equivalent of paying someone to show your banner until X people have clicked on your banner. Normally banner exchanges sell clicks for $.50 per click, which is actually a really good deal, since $15/1000 impressions is the going rate for advertising. At 1% clickthru ratio you get 10 clicks for that $15 or $1.50 per click. If you want to get 1000 people to visit your site, paying $1500 for a 100,000 banner impression campaign can get rather expensive. But at $.50 per click, you can have a successful ad campaign by having unlimited banner impressions until you get 1000 clicks for only $500!!! Now that is if you were going to a "normal" banner exchange... Because you are here at Computer Q & A, I can set it up so you can get your clicks for only $400 for 1000!!! That is $.40 per visitor! What kind of advertising campaign can you put together with that low of a cost? Imagine now if you were to use multiple banners and rotate them, how much more effective could your advertising be if you just paid one amount to get so many clicks and then see which of your banner ads is the one that draws the most clicks? What kind of return would you get if you used a banner that didn't compel anyone to click on it with a "per impression" advertising campaign? With a "per click" ad campaign, you will be able to see quickly whether your banner is cutting the mustard or cutting the cheese!!! And if your banner is not pulling the hits, then you can change it out at no additional charge! You are really in control!!!

Call for Authors!!!

Are you a technical writer or just good at putting sentences together and keeping people entertained? Computer Q & A Tips and The Living Internet Ezine both need submissions from people like you, who use the Internet and Computers. Many times I hear people say you need to be a geek to do stuff on computers and on the 'net. That is why I want to see the geeks share the information on how to do stuff with the rest of us so we can be geeks, too! Whether or not you are a geek, if you want to become a famous article writer, send your submissions to the webmaster, and we'll see if we can get it published. You are allowed a five line paragraph at the end of your message to identify yourself and any websites or contact info you may want published.
