Excellent post Phillip! You really had shown here some great insights to the changes on the marketing trends. Thank you for pointing it out. Nice share!!
Every picture tells a story, as it is worth a thousands words. Sometimes webmasters use this image instead of words to describe and make a branding for their websites and pictures.
Thanks Phillip! Lots of good advice here. I’m a big fan of using good, quality pics but these pics are not easy to find – unless you wanna pay a fortune. I find some good pics at free services like sxc and morguefile, but it could be interesting to get some tips where we can find free quality pics (for commercial use).
