1. URL S.lip I.n.

2. The insertion of an appropriate     and on topic website URL (uniform     resource locator) into an offline or     online conversation such as a     newsgroup, email list or message     board.

3. The artform of doing this seamlessly,     and most importantly, using one of     your own website URLs.

prices fall as the number of buyers of a specific item increases. This is good. More buyers = greater value to customer. However, each item starts with 0 buyers. This is BAD. When there are 0 buyers, the item is sold at max price. So when you find the item you like, and see it has 0 buyers, you don't buy it, because you know you can get a better price. Since all products start out with 0 buyers, no one ever becomes interested in buying any item, therefore, there are never any buyers. -Mike K.

Note:

William is a regular poster in this newsgroup and took the opportunity to reinforce his point by using one of his own relevant websites as an example. Perfect URLSI! Worth at least 107 urlsi points!
