  2. Re:I look at it as *cheap* Advertising. on How Amazon and Google are taking eBay's Business · · Score: 2, Insightful
    All three of these places work great as advertising due to the traffic each site receives. Massive amounts of people already head to those sites with the intenet to buy as well. Use the massive amounts of traffic and the occasional "loss" in the profit margin spent as eBay/Yahoo/Amazon commision as your ad budget.
    Example:

    1) Post something on their sites

    2) Advertise the hell out of your own website on each post

    3) Browsers become buyers and watch the shoppers from all of the above auction/sales sites come to you next time and buy direct


    You can also ship more advertisements for your own website with catchy phrases like. Buy direct next time at [Your URL here] etc.

    If they did and you found out that there was something wrong with it, you may just be able to get a felt tip marker out, trace the outside, and fix the whole problem!

  6. Re:Dividend Tax Rates on Hackers, Meet Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Currently Dividends paid are taxed at a maximum of 15% no matter how much money you make. Regular income can be taxed at anywhere from 10% - 35% depending on the amount of taxable income you generate each year. That doesn't mention state income tax if your state charges it.
