A Credit Catch-22: When lenders and lawmakers disconnect
I operate a small business marketplace that connects entrepreneurs to financing options. Recent legislation has created an impression that the credit markets are softening and business loans are growing on trees. Not so fast - what's really going on down on mainstreet? Here's a story from today's local credit markets.

Reaching Life Goals on Cruise Control
You can automatically progress towards what's really important without the usual pain. An executive productivity coach explains a simple, a low-stress approach to reaching your life goals in this short read. How does it work? First, start with a good contextual productivity system (CPS) like GTD ("Getting Things Done"), TRO (Total, Relaxed Organization), or Total Workday Control. Then add two simple new dimensions (a strategic calendar and goal projects) and progress become inevitable. Strategic calendars are defined and explained, and brief instructions show you how to find and pick a software tool to support your strategic calendar. Goal projects are also described and explained. Finally, three important tips help you implement this approach and stay on track with it.

Are You an SEO Link Opportunist?
Link opportunities are abundant if you know where to look. Sometimes there is value in linking outside the box as your site is only as strong as its weakest link. The point is, you have to know where to look for trustworthy, authority or contextual links that provide tactful advertising or serve to ethically build quality links back to your content (such as a Chamber of Commerce, Better Business Bureau, etc.) Even links from a from a semi-related page with an authority position is priceless to augment trust to your link profile.
Increasing Search Engine Visibility through Article Marketing
Article marketing is an ideal third party referral mechanism that can be used to qualify, bait, captivate and close interested parties before they even hit your website. Instead of overstated your pitch, using trusted or reputable websites to advertise your message not only increases perceived value, but is a landmark SEO strategy. This sure-fire method can increase back links to your website by the dozens from high powered editorial syndication sites to augment your rankings, increase website authority and augment your rankings from all of the websites that link to you through RSS feeds.

Questioning Parked Domains and Google AdNonSense

AdSense – is it all that the hype says it is?
We’ve all seen the hype surrounding AdSense, contextual advertising on your web site, and heard the stories of people banking thousands from this groundbreaking concept.

Rethinking Cognitive Skills Testing for New Hires and Promotions
Hiring managers need to make accurate assessments about the cognitive capabilities of potential new hires and those up for promotion (e.g. handling complex information, identifying priorities, and making effective decisions). A hundred years of IQ testing has, however, distorted the image of cognitive assessment to the point where it has largely gone out of favor. No single score can reflect the complex interaction of cognitive, motivational, psychological and contextual factors that impact on thinking.

CPM – Does it makes any sense any more?
CPM has been and always will be the most commonly used mechanism for advertisers to generate brand awareness albeit in different forms. But does the CPM model makes sense any more?

High- and Low-Context Cultures and Power Distances
Literature provides argument that cross-cultural communication is a complex matter. Edward Hall argued much of the human communication is non-verbal and always follows cultural and contextual patterns (Katz, 2006). Hall further argues that there are two key concepts: High-Context v Low-Context and Polychronic v Monochronic (Babel, n.d.).

Neuroscience and Gender Differences
One remarkable difference between genders is the way that men and women tend to think. Psychologists report that when women cogitate, they gather details somewhat differently than men. Women integrate more details faster and arrange these bits of data into more complex patterns. As they make decisions, women tend to weigh more variables, consider more options, and see a wider array of possible solutions to a problem. Women tend to generalize, to synthesize, to take a broader, more holistic, more contextual perspective of any issue. They tend to think in webs of factors, not straight lines, so I coined a term for this broad, contextual, feminine way of reasoning: web thinking.
