The answer is quite simple: Not on your web site.

Unless you have an amazing web site or you’re a billionaire, it is very unlikely that people spend much time on your site. Sorry, but people are spending their time other places.

What this means is that their experience is shaped by other web sites. How does your web site compare? Are you making the same design decisions? How about the same design mistakes? You’re just a tiny little grain of sand…

So, where do people spend time online these days. Here’s the answer (top 6):

• MySpace
• Yahoo
• MSN
• eBay
• Google
• AOL

If you want to understand how people think about the internet, you should understand these web sites. You don’t need to master these web sites, but you need to know something about them. This will help you understand the minds of your customers.

As an internet marketer, this is critical advice. Dig into these sites and figure out how people interact with each other. Find out their wants, needs, and desires. Determine what drives them and how you can help them along the way.

By the way, if you’re looking for ways to drive traffic for free, these sites can be your big ticket. We’ve written a report on using these sites to generate a lot of zero cost traffic. Take a look at Traffic Generation Secrets.

About 3-4 months ago I ordered some graphics from eCoverGeeks. I was really busy when the graphics were made available for download. Like an idiot, I didn’t download the graphics.

Thankfully, Andy Eaton saved the graphics for me. When I emailed him to ask for them again, he had them, and graciously sent them to me. He responded in less than 48 hours. Talk about customer service!

So, this is just a little post is just a Thank You to Andy Eaton. Nice job, eCoverGeeks!

Sometimes people ask “How long can my YouTube video be?” and other times they ask “How large can my YouTube vidoe be?” — These are basically the same question. You want to know how much video schhhtuff you can upload, right?

The answer to this video upload question is pretty simple:

“All videos uploaded to YouTube have a 100MB file size limit.” (reference)

By the way, sometimes it just makes sense to host videos on your own web site. For example, inside The Really Simple Method we have two videos. The first one is about downloading, installing and using FileZilla which is a great FTP program.  The second one is about setting up a PayPal button so you can start earning money on the internet.

Let’s say you’ve found the perfect YouTube video. Let’s also pretend that you’d like to have a local copy (i.e., copy on your hard drive). How do you download a YouTube video. Here’s how to do it…

Let’s say you’re on YouTube and you find this groovy video:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OHnJ2g8Cs2Y

* Grab that URL and head over to vixy.net

* Paste in the YouTube video URL, right at the top of the page

* Choose your file format for the download

* Click start and wait while the YouTube video downloads (chug, chug)

* Click the download button and save the video to your hard drive

That’s it.  Not too bad, eh?

You might be surprised but because we’ve cranked out some good YouTube videos on internet marketing, we get asked a lot of YouTube questions. We really enjoy helping people, so here’s our first attempt at answering a question we hear all the time:

“What File Formats Are Accepted by YouTube?”

YouTube accepts these types of files — .WMV, .AVI, .MOV, and .MPG.

Here’s the link to the YouTube help page on file formats.
