Let's face it; our computers are a bigger part of life than ever before. We shop, work and play using computers. They've replaced stereos, encyclopedias, even the mailman. They've become journals, photo albums and canvases for our art.

But computers aren't perfect. Files become corrupt, motherboards malfunction, CPUs call it quits taking our precious data with them.

How can a potential customer or prospect really take you serious when your email account does not really reflect your real company?

You are at a trade show or networking event, you meet a prospective client. They are very impressed with your product and service offering and ask to get your business card. You are happy to oblige and excited for the opportunity. Unfortunately, you lose credibility when your prospect sees your email address is a free one provided by the likes of Yahoo and Gmail or an Internet service provider such as Comcast or AOL.

More than 60 percent of Americans find information about their health online before they decide whether or not to see a doctor. Perhaps even more disturbing, a 2011 survey from Wolters Kluwer Health found that almost half of doctors use Google, Yahoo, and other general search engines to diagnose, treat, and care for their patients.

Why this reliance on the Internet for health information? It all has to do with easy access. Patients worry about being sick, while doctors worry about time constraints and being able to provide quick answers.

Stories have come out recently about how fake companies are posting ads with Google, paying big money to get top billing. These sites look legitimate and are extremely similar to real sites. They offer discounts, take your money and then send you counterfeit products or nothing at all.
