Drupal | Dan Karran: "new Availability Calendars module got released back to the community last night... If you run a small accommodation provider business (like a self-catering cottage, a bed and breakfast, a guesthouse, etc.) and are using Drupal to power your site, you might find this module quite useful. It will allow you to show an availability calendar for each node of a certain type (e.g. cottages, rooms, etc.), change the availability for each day, and also leave a note (such as a rental price) next to each week."

PR Toolkit - PR Newswire - A United Business Media Company: "Below you will find small business advice and resources, which have been created with small business owners and entrepreneurs in mind"

Link Building Tools To Use For Inspiration:

• SEOBook Link Suggest tool gives you plenty of tips on possible link building search queries. It would be much better if it could generate a huge list for all queries though instead of making me choose one in the drop-down.
• Webconfs Link Builder offers a smaller collection of queries but it generates the list on one page and is rather easy to use;
• SOLO SEO tool (based on SEOmoz post) should be a bit updates (some of the queries do not work any more) but it is still great for Google search.

Improving Your Sense of Site - web analytics - Bonobos: "The Goal Funnel tracks customers during the sales process. This funnel shows that among users who put items in the shopping cart, 63 percent (or 1,222 people) failed to complete a purchase -- and 511 of them left the shopping cart and exited the site altogether. The problem, Kaushik believes, is that the site asks for a coupon code early in the process. "That's an invitation for someone to leave your site to look for a coupon," he says. "And if they don't find it, they may not return." By taking steps such as moving the coupon field to the end of the sales process, Bonobos' rate of abandonment could fall 10 percent, adding about $20,000 a month in sales."

Affiliate marketing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Websites consisting mostly of affiliate links are regarded negatively as they do not offer quality content. In 2005 there were active changes made by Google, where certain websites were labeled as 'thin affiliates'. Such websites were either removed from Google's index or were relocated within the results page (i.e., moved from the top-most results to a lower position). To avoid this categorization, affiliate marketer webmasters must create quality content on their websites that distinguishes their work from the work of spammers or banner farms, which only contain links leading to merchant sites. Affiliate links work best in the context of the information contained within the website itself...The goal is to publish quality information within the website and provide context-oriented links to related merchant's websites."

James Walker shared with me that "Featured Speakers" block on Do It With Drupal conference site is generated by a combination of: views, nodequeue, and carousel module and some custom CSS. Google-ing for the latter 2 modules led me to:

spherical panorama using ptviewer.jar | drupal.org: "Here is an example... There are several options for flash to show spherical panoramas. I use a program called 'pano2qtvr'. This outputs both qucktime and flash movies. You can find more info here 'http://gardengnomesoftware.com/'. There is a new version out now that is not dependent on quicktime source. See the link for more info. I use 'ptgui' to stitch the pano's with and then use pano2qtvr to render the quicktime or flash movie. But there are many other stitching programs out there that will render your pano in flash as well. Prior to flash 8 it was not possible to show spherical pano's in flash. Since flash 8 this is now possible. The flash movies are based on the 'cube' format designed by quicktime.
For further information on this see the Panotools list at yahoo. Here you can find further information all about panoramic imaging." & Panorama Tools: PTViewer Documentation, links & WordPress › WP PT-Viewer « WordPress Plugins & Flash Panorama Publishing Software - Panorama2Flash
