According to the latest Gartner Report – Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies 2010 – the adoption of virtual assistant services and technology is currently in the “Trough of Disillusionment&#. Even worse, according to the report this market is not going to mature for another 5 to 10 years.

One of the most important and ongoing search engine marketing strategies (aka off-page SEO) is to create incoming backlinks to your website. One way to do this is to create value-packed ebooks that include links to your various website pages. However, digital publishing has a reputation problem. Thanks to the minimal barriers to entry and nominal costs of publishing work, there’s a distinct lack of real quality amongst the internet’s most popular titles.
