How accessible are you to your prospective customers through your company website blog? As I�ve mentioned before, having a great product or service behind your online presence is nothing if you don�t offer users the incentive to learn more about it and make the move to make a purchase or set a transaction in motion.

How safe is your computer when you step away from it?
Even the best anti-virus and Spyware prevention programs and software cannot protect your PC if an actual person steps in and decides to go nosing around where they shouldn�t.
Usernames and passwords can only offer so much security if yours are easy to figure out or if the �intruder� happens to already know them.
