Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could trade equity in a website that I just started in exchange for marketing? I was thinking maybe I could give something like 10% or 15% ownership to someone or some group of people who would in turn be in charge of marketing and making the website big. The website just launched yesterday and I’m not doing too well in getting it out there. I think I need someone with much more experience in marketing and publicizing. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks a lot.
The website by the way is www.polltopia.com, and it’s a site where users can create polls for other people around the world to vote in (sort of similar to yahoo answers, except with polls). You can also view statistics about who voted, including votes by state/country, gender and age group. Commenting on polls is also permitted. The site uses a secret algorithm to ensure that even non-registered users can only vote once (even if they delete their cookies, clear their history, etc.). Thanks again.

Many countries have negative stuff associated to them. For example, the Italian mafia, the Russian mafia, the Japanise Yakuza, the Chinese triads.
Other have problems with the drug trade, for example Colombia and Mexico, or child poverty, like Brazil and the favelas.
Others have a bad reputation as tax havens, like Switzerland, because the took and hide the gold stolen to the Jews during the Hollocaust by the nazis.
USA has problems with shootings and gang violence.
The Muslim world has a problem with radicals an terrorism.
But Spain is never associated to any negative stuff. Ok, the economy is a bit slow now, and they have a high unemplyoment rate, but other that that, the opinion of everybody about Spain is very possible. Paella, fiesta, sun, bullfighting…everything seems to be positive about Spain.
I wonder why? Is it a marketing trick? Or is really Spain that good?
PS, There are other countries with a very good image, of course, like Canada, New Zealand, Norway, etc. What’s the secret?

My car is due for it’s Insurance renewal, however rather than going with my current provider I have decided to visit a few price comparison websites first, to see if I can get a cheaper quote. First up I went on confused.com and started filling out all the usual details but then came across the section where they want me to provide a value for my car which has really stumped me.
I know how much I bought the car for and I know that obviously it’s value will have greatly depreciated since, but not being affiliated with the motor trade, how can I possibly ascertain it’s value?
Are there any reliable and trust-worthy websites I can use to make an evaluation?
It would have been good if confused.com provided a means of calculating my car’s value.
I don’t really want make an estimate (although) tempted in case I am well off the mark and end up invalidating my insurance.
What a quandary to be in just to meet the obligation of a law-abiding motorist.
If anyone can help me with this matter,
I look forward to hearing from you

Trade, mercantilism, culture, and settlers: several common denominators among Americans and British. It is clear that initially the relationship betwixt the two nations was fairly stable; however, this stability quickly began to falter as Americans carved out their own niches throughout the vast territory that would ultimately be referred to as the United States of America.
Many of these divergences were political, although many were cultural and economic. Americans asserted their dominance in these three areas, notably through the slave trade, relationships with Native Americans, and the growing sense of frustration with British control. Analyze these paradigm shifts, examining the ways in which the North American newcomers adapted or changed to the land and developed their own national ideology.

I’ve been reading up on them, and understand that these are some of the “rules” for protecting legitimate business interests in a non-compete:
1. Protecting Trade Secrets
2. Maintaining valuable confidential business or professional information
3. Preserving relationships with specific prospective or existing customers, patients, or clients
4. Defending goodwill associated with an ongoing business or professional practice, by way of a trademark, geographic location, or marketing/trade area
5. Maximizing Investment In Extraordinary Or Specialized Training
I’m having trouble understanding number 4 only. Can someone please provide a brief explanation of what it means?
Thank you so much!
