			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>The popular advertising blog <a href="http://www.adrants.com/2005/09/weblog-advertising-yields-audi-dramatic.php" target="_blank">Adrants</a> has a great post today that illustrates just how well blogs can target an audience.  Apparently Audi spent 1/2 of 1 percent of their advertising budget to generated 29% of the traffic to the site they were advertising.  How did they do it?  Well, for about the cost of one banner ad on Yahoo, they bought ads through BlogAds.  The result: 29% of their site traffic came from those ads.</p>
	<p>That&#8217;s truly an incredible return that underscores how important blogs have become to reaching a target audience.  Though, honestly, that figure is even shocking to us, and we love talking about how great blogs are as marketing tools.  Guess you can&#8217;t underestimate the power of blogs these days!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>It probably comes as no surprise that to teens, using the web is about as common as watching TV.  eMarketer reports that as of August, 73.4% of American teens are using the web.</p>
	<p>What does that mean to you?  Well, if you&#8217;re trying to target these teens, the web should be part of your mix.  If you&#8217;re selling something to teens, you need a website.  To reach this group the web is no longer a nice to have in terms of marketing.  It&#8217;s a must have.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) has never been one to embrace CSS standards, much to the dismay of developers and designers everywhere.  That&#8217;s a major reason why some things that work on IE won&#8217;t work on Firefox or Safari.  More importantly to our clients,  it adds complexity to websites and <em>costs you money</em>.</p>
	<p>So when Microsoft started losing market share to &#8220;upstart&#8221; Firefox and Microsoft finally felt the pressure of the heightened press about their ever deapening security issues, and promised to change things.  The result: IE 7.</p>
	<p>Developers and designers everywhere were scared.</p>
	<p>How many &#8220;new features&#8221; would they add that would make our life more difficult?  Would they do just enough to render the tricks we use to get sites to look the same on all browsers useless?  Well, it appears they have seen the light, or rather the standards.  </p>
	<p>According to <a href="http://www.microsoft-watch.com/article2/0,2180,1842522,00.asp">Microsoft Watch</a> and other Microsoft focused sites (including <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/07/29/445242.aspx">one of thier own blogs</a>) IE7 will be CSS2 compliant.  </p>
	<p>So what does that mean in laymens terms?  Well, if they do it right, it means sites will be quicker to roll out and less complex.  In other words, if it&#8217;s easier to design and develop your site, it&#8217;ll save you money.  That&#8217;s good news for clients everywhere.  Now all we have to do is wait a year.
