Why Internet Marketing Resembles FrogsIf there is one thing I love about Internet marketing, it's the
challenge. No, I don't mean the challenge of making money,
although that's fun, too.

protect what's inside. How do they do this? They stop anything
unfriendly from coming in. Fortunately for the soldier ants,
it's easy to know what not to let in -- if it ain't an ant, no
passage allowed!
But ants going in sometimes bring things along with them, things
they're carrying that could be dangerous to the life of the
hill.
