Owner:

Time Allotted:

30m

The website of the future. Top 3s! How to net $5 a day from a website.

Google is ahead because they look at things as a platform. What are the blocks and tools that we need to give to everyone. They aquire complanies.

Carlos – Opensource Drupal, Joomla, and WordPress.

Drupal – Built right, they have the protocols on how to build it up. They go about building the right way with documentation, open source, often updates. Users can communicate and make drupal better. Drupal has logs for modules and a lot of community help.

Joomla – The middle ground becuae it is easy to use. It works out of the box. Secuirty and updates are not easy to find but you can get a lot done with little to no cost.

WordPress – Is the easiest to use but takes a lot of customization. It was not built from the ground up as a CMS, so they will have scaliability issues.

Each CMS does something a little different so they can attrack their own audiences.

SEO – My take. Depends on the search engine. You can follow best practices, but it all depends on Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc… http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/metatags.html

Affiliates –

Macro – Provide a platform for charities. Social Networkin site to promote giving and link to current charities: profile points based on participation.

Micro – Tangible Idea – bumper sticker join a group to promote your compass. Tailored to different based on community.

Micro – Intangible – Geek Out Day PDF/Website Community
