1. Yahoo! auctions are free again.
The folks at Yahoo! decided to make their auctions free again.
Every store on the TIAS system has the ability to send items to
Yahoo! auctions, directly from your store. If you want to give it
a try, just follow the instructions on your members page.
--------------
2. What you can do to increase sales.
This is the slow time of the year. People are out and about and
away from their computers. It is the ideal time to work on marketing
strategies to bring in more traffic.
There is an interesting thread on the TIAS bulletin board about how
to increase your sales. Take a look at:
http://www.auctionbytes.com/forum/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=15047
You will need a login and password to get into the bulletin board. If
you don't have one, contact support@tias.com for more info.

3. Yes, Google is just finishing another "dance"
It seems to have caused another mess with quite a few Web sites.
We've noticed some of the sites with "Sticky" URL's on TIAS seem
to have been affected, but this is still changing from day to day. More
info can be viewed online at:

If you have noticed a major drop in referrals from Google in your
stats, drop a note to phil@tias.com with more info about what
you are seeing in your stats.
--------------
We do offer discounts for 1 year contracts.
Just a reminder that we do offer a one year contract now, that can reduce
your minimum monthly fee from $39.95 to $34.95. For more information
on how to sign up for this contract, go to your members page at

In the left column select "Site Maintenance" then select "Credit card/Billing
