Copywriting
A good copywriter knows which words
trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with
flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about
your business, services or products. Read an an example of good copywriting for a
fictitious Sydney Mercedes Dealer, or
just "ok"
website copy for a Used Mercedes dealer.
Trademarks
The most effective way to safeguard you against people "trading off" your business name, product or service, is to register a trademark. For more information, including about the justweb® trade mark, please read our

over 100
countries and territories in the year 2008.

Operating System: Windows 92.36 % (94.07% in 2007)
Screen Resolution: 1024x768 35.52% (45.98% in 2007)

Total Unique Visits
162,613 Unique Visits in 2008 (up 62% on 2007 period)
Comment:
Internet Explorer is still winning the browser "war", however it has lost ground
to Firefox, as well as the Mac OS browsers as Mac becomes more popular.
Comment:
Again, Macs are increasing in popularity. Perhaps driven much by the less than
competent
Vista OS, as well as by a strong and steady marketing campaign. iPhone now makes
an appearance, albeit a minor one.
Top Ten Operating System/Browser Combinations
Browser/Operating System | Visits | % of visits
1. Internet Explorer / Windows 114,316 | 70.30%
2. Firefox / Windows | 33,506 | 20.60%
3. Safari / Macintosh | 6,336 | 3.90%
4. Firefox / Macintosh | 3,801 | 2.34%
5. Opera / Windows | 1,186 | 0.73%
6. Firefox / Linux | 803 |0.49%
7. Chrome / Windows | 669 | 0.41%
8. Konqueror / Linux | 531 | 0.33%
9. Mozilla / Linux | 355 | 0.22%
10. Safari / Windows | 267 | 0.16%
Comment: Macintosh is gaining ground here too of course, and Google's new
browser "Chrome" now shows up in stats.
Comment: Even though the old 800x600 makes up a mere 3.49% of traffic, it is
still worth noting this represents over five and a half thousand visits to our
site. Certainly not a user base we should ignore - but we have. The stats for
2009 will show an even greater decline in this out of date screen resolution. It
is also noteworthy the prevalence of widescreen monitors.
Comment: It would be fair to assume that the majority of "Unknown" connections types are
broadband of some description. The drop in dialup connections from 2007 to 2008
is huge.
