Which is the best article syndication site?
I have read in several different posts that one good way to get back-links and increase brand awareness is to write articles.
New site, great content, few sales
I have a site that is for the most part a content driven site. It has a PR of 4, a growing list of sites linking in but few sales.
MySpace
The MySpace phenomenom seems like it has some tremendous marketing potential with a massive network of internet savy 15-30 year olds.

Documenting the Exit Strategy in a Business Plan
All investors greatly desire and are motivated by a clear picture of a company's exit strategy, or the timing and method through which they can "cash in" on their investment. This picture best comes into focus when the key valuation and liquidity drivers of the company are clearly delineated.

Issues E-Gang For SEM Expertise List
 By
Chris Richardson
Being acknowledged for the work you do can be quite rewarding, especially when
it comes from a publication as notable and respected as Forbes.
Because of the Forbes reputation, you can imagine the pride you'd feel when you've
been named as part of the E-Gang and as one of the "Masters of Information" for
your the part you played in collecting, analyzing and applying data from the Web.
So you can imagine the sense of accomplishment felt by this year's list of newly
appointed E-Gang members, which includes: Ellen
Siminoff, CEO of Efficient Frontier;
Peter Norvig, Google's director of search
quality and research; and Barry
Diller, chairman of IAC/InterActiveCorp and Founder of the Fox Broadcast Network.
Other recipients of this year's (2005) E-Gang award are Caterina
Fake and Stewart Butterfield, creators of Flickr.com;
Jeffery Jonas of IBM Entity
Analytics; John
Markus Lervik, co-founder of Fast Search
& Transfer; and Jimmy Wales, founder
of Wikipedia.

Ellen Siminoff was recognized for her excellence in the search engine marketing
industry offered these thoughts, "I have seen the industry change and evolve in
incredible ways since my time at Yahoo Success is dependent on having the right
mix of technology and market understanding -- and Efficient Frontier has both.
Search works, and this honor really reflects our ability to deliver results for
our customers."
Each year the E-Gang awards are given to a specfic field of interest. The first
year they were given, 2002, they
focused on six medical marvels, while last year's E-Gang recognized
Internet trendsetters. The 2005 E-Gang focused on search and the gathering of
information that's related to this field.
Slide Slips Photos Over RSS
 By
David Utter
The Windows-based Slide application allows users to share photos with other Slide
users via RSS technology.
The WiRED.Pod site brings news of a new photo-sharing application, reminiscent
of what was once called "push" technology. A desktop-based program from Slide
will index photos on a local hard drive and group them into "intuitive channels,"
according to the company's web site. Then the application plays them back via
its interface.
Those photos can be shared with other Slide users. And with the help of RSS, users
can make the channels Slide creates available via subscription, either for registered
or unregistered Slide users. Channels can be created by dragging and dropping
photos onto the Slide ticker.
The software does provide access controls to limit viewing of designated photo
channels. "Public" makes the channel available to anyone. "Friends Only" limits
the channel to those users cited in one's Slide friend list. "Invite Only" restricts
channel availability to those specifically invited by the user.
Photos and other files can be sent via Slide to other users. Slide doesn't list
supported file types, but says it "supports (a) vast majority of media types."
The application sends the photo or file via email, so it really doesn't function
as a true file-sharing client.
PayPal co-founder Max Levchin started Slide, which currently is only available
for the Windows platform. The site does note they want to make a Mac OS X version
available, and want to hear from Mac developers interested in coming on-board.
