: Thanks for this article. I would rather save it for the professionals but as we saw these past few years that some people still don't know how to work it. It is interesting that the chart patterns exist as in everything in life. Volatility can be predictable in some ways.

: "Knowing which site visitors to target and what they are looking for is important as the ultimate purpose of web content is to provide site visitors with what they are looking - otherwise they will not engage with the site"... surely this is the whole point of having a web presence. If you can't engage your audience, they won't come back - web "masters" who try to game the system will only lose their reputation.

: I agree, having people pay you for your services is paramount to operating whether in todays current 'Recession' or for that matter at anytime. Offering payment options or discount not only for cash, but maybe Senior Citizens/Pensioners, Disabled etc can also be a good service and option to consider, I do.

: I don't work in a business environment that has to collect from customers - thank goodness - but if I did I can see that all these strategies are valuable. I've helped my daughter get started as a writer for Internet folks and I strongly suggest that she get payment for partial orders before fulfilling all of them, especially if they're new customers. I'm glad to know that's part of your adivce.

: I used to be in the "note" business which is similar to invoice financing: owners sell long-term payments for cash right now. Years ago I had to turn down a deal with WalMart because my company was too small to afford the upfront costs of product production in the quantity that WalMart demanded - because they wouldn't pay for at least 120 days. Invoice financing might have solved that problem for me if I had only known about it at the time. Too bad. :-(

: I was not familiar with invoicing for cash flow as an outsourced method. It certainly makes sense to do this internally for healthy cash flow, and even better if you can outsource it.
