Ryan’s Christmas Story

Its midnight on Christmas, I am up all alone..Presents are wrapped and stockings are stuffed, only the light from the Christmas tree glows. ESPN turned way down low, this is the best time of the year. I can picture my daughters face now, big ole smile with no teeth and a glare in her eye..clapping her hands from the joy inside. I wouldn’t trade my life for a million bucks..I’m more excited now then I ever was.  I can’t sleep just thinking of the morning…this is the first Christmas I don’t matter.  Jesus, your gift to me was Evie Grace and that alone cannot be replaced with ps2’s or wii’s but time with family is whats most important to me.

Merry Christmas!

Are Meta Keywords Dead For Real?

Apparently at the SMX convention Yahoo casually explained they didn’t use meta keywords at all in their search.  So does anyone?  Yes, a few of the smaller search engines that have their own algorithm but lets face it, if the big three Google, Bing, and Yahoo don’t use them is it worth the time to build them out? NO!  I believe the day of keywords on each page of a site in the meta section is dead.  This is a call for more creativity with keywords in your content.  I believe this is a good move if it was indeed a recent move by Yahoo.  The way it was explained they may not have been counting on meta keywords for some time.  Oh, well at least we know now and we can move on.  No more meta keywords….hopefully EVER!

Great Article I Wanted To Share

So everyday I wake up and read about search, web design, and online marketing.  I don’t do this very often but I came across an article about design I would like to share.  This article explains a lot of what I tell my clients about usability and navigation.  This article was written by Kim Krause Berg.

Social Media’s Impact On Business

I recently wrote a blog about how to use social media as a business tool offering the do’s and don’ts of social media marketing. So now I want to share with you just how big this is. To fully wrap your head around what social media is and how it is changing the market place you need to fully understand the impact social media is having in people’s lives. People now check their social media sites more than their email. What does that mean? Social media has become their means of communication.

Business Blogging…is it important?

Is blogging helpful for business?  Should I do it?  How should I blog?  Are you asking yourself these questions?

If so you are in the right place.  I will be sharing with you my personal experience with business blogging.  This originally

became something I wanted to blog about because of an automotive dealer I was speaking to regarding Search Engine Optimization.  He was

very passionate in SEO but had very little direction.  I always suggest starting with a blog.  Trust me it’s worth it!

Lets get started….Is blogging helpful for business?  The answer as you guessed is “YES!”  As we already know, people buy from people

they a) trust and b) like.  A blog is a great way to brand yourself and build trust in your target network.  If you do this correctly you

can accomplish all of these goals.
