Taking the Fear Out of Web Analytics for Your Small Business
Do you have analytics installed on your small business Web site? If not, you should. How will you know how your Web site is performing if you aren't measuring the plethora of data available?
Cost is no longer an excuse for not having Web site analytics. The free options are quite robust; Google Analytics, for one, is quite comprehensive. In addition, Microsoft's adCenter Analytics is available in beta, and Yahoo has acquired IndexTools, and will make at least some version of that available for free.

Online booking comes to small-business owners
Doctors, attorneys and dentists have largely missed the e-commerce boom. So have other service-based businesses like salons and interior design shops.
Sure, your website can provide information about your business. But it can't make a sale. That's because your clients can't book appointments online.
Your clients still must call or e-mail to schedule an appointment. And you probably can't handle client requests 24/7. This means wasted time calling back clients for scheduling.
New sites are offering solutions to the problem. They make it possible for clients to schedule appointments online.

Tax Gap Plan Vexes Small Business Community
Small business advocates are mobilizing to quash a proposal being considered by a powerful Senate panel that would require credit- and debit-card issuers like MasterCard and Visa to report business owners' electronic payment transactions to the IRS.______________________________________________________
The Senate Committee on Finance is considering the plan as part of a greater effort to increase tax compliance and narrow the "tax gap," which the IRS defines as the difference between the amount of tax that taxpayers should pay for a given year and the amount that is paid voluntarily and on time.
