I actually just had a dream the other nite in regards to how Google had made a large mistake in purchasing You Tube. You might object to that last statement, however I will give out more information. Google main goal was to create a great search engine. Accomplished! However instead of buying You Tube, Google should have brought a company that is more than likely going to go belly up without this buyout from Google. This company had properitary software that measured the phychological and behaviour profiles of users that used the google search engine. With the workings of the properitary software with Google's Algorithm would have dove tailed perfectly which would have in return, turned Google from a $4.8b dollar quarter to a whopping $428 b a quarter. I guess Google decided to take the Sex, Drugs, Rock& Roll route, But then again, it was only a dream well see this is very interesting to find this topic posted while visiting this website.

Therefore, a better question to ask is "How can I design my site to bring out the extrovert in my visitors? Good post- psychologically profiling site visitors is basically my job :)

I opened it up and it was a mortgage financing offer. Totally misleading, but it got me to open the envelope when I usually toss it into the shredder.

Cialdini <- read influence book to start Claude Hopkins <- read his two popular books Al Ries <- good branding material David Ogilvy <-one of the legends of DM & advertising Start at the top and read everything that all of these people have produced, that is if you really want to understand this area and not just half*** it. Reading what these guys wrote will give you a foundation that you can build on for pretty much any business.
