Any Google Earth experts out there?

Does anyone know how to embed a Google Earth placemark on a web site?

When I upload the .kmz file to my site, I find that clicking on the link makes my browser (IE) treat it like a zip file - it makes me click to open (or save) the file; then another click for the "use evaluation version" in WinZip, then double click on the doc.kml file to finally open Google Earth and zoom to the location.

So . . . it works, but I'd like it to work in one click - not 3 clicks and a dbl-click. No one will go thru that much trouble - and that's too long of an explanatin.

Anyone know how to shorten the process? I know if you just send an email with the .kmz file, it opens in one click. Why doesn't it work the same online? It's still a .kmz file.

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
