You have a product, company or service and you have a website. Maybe your site has been out there for years or maybe you just launched it.

In this particular scene, the villain, Eric Gordon, is asked to explain business ethics. To make a long story short, he doesn’t grasp the concept and fails to provide a definition.

Unless you’ve been hiding in a cave with no Internet connection, I’m sure by now the news of Google’s latest algorithm update, dubbed Panda, is old hat. Perhaps you have also already caught wind of Google’s addition of the +1 button, which is the search engine equivalent to Facebook’s “like” feature.
