Ty Harmon is a local radio show celebrity. I admit, calling Ty a celebrity is giving liberal use to imagination, but here in southeastern Colorado, everyone knows him. His lanky southern cowboy voice sooths away the sleepers every morning, as you wake up to his quips and quotes about living the ‘country life’.Everyone knows Ty isn’t a city boy. It’s obvious. He shares his fear of crazy city drivers from the one memory of being to Denver seven years ago, he drove to the Stock Show and drove home, a whole thirty blocks into the city
Here’s a little secret, search engines crave content. Okay so maybe that’s not such a secret but to look at many websites you would think it so. The fact is that too many websites just sit there doing nothing that the search engines admire. Providing content, not to mention fresh
My wife and I were both effectively eliminated from the traditional corporate work force in the early 1990’s. It was traumatic. We were college graduates. We had climbed the corporate ladder, rapidly, inexorably. We enjoyed six figure incomes, a second home, club memberships, prosperous investment accounts, wonderful benefit packages, a College investment plan for our three kids, sports cars and extensive travel. We were devastated! But, it became the best thing that ever happened to us, children included.We went from regularity,
A blog is really nothing more than a diary uploaded to the Internet and until about the last 12 months was the realm of the individual who saw it as a way to publish there random (and sometimes disturbed) thoughts. The great thing about weblogs, and the growing set of software that is being created to publish them, is that they are a tremendous business tool.
Weblogs allow you to create content and contact…and that is what your clients crave more than anything.
I use a program (there is a free trial version) called PMachine to publish my weblog at DuctTapeMarketing.com/weblog.php. This program allows me to simply make many entries and updates and also allows readers to add comments. Better still, now seemingly random articles can be sorted and searched by content or subject. My weblog is more like a content management system and my readers seem to love it.
Another great reason to explore the use of weblogs is that search engines seem to love them. Within 30 days of launching my weblog it became the most visited page on my fairly high traffic website.
So what is it about blogs that those little spiders love so much?

“Please, God, don’t let me follow the police officer.”It was career day at Floyd Elementary School and I visited my daughter’s kindergarten class to explain what I do for a living. It was my Dick Van Dyke moment.For those of you who are relatively young or haven’t seen reruns of the “Dick Van Dyke Show,” there’s an episode in which Rob Petrie (played by Van Dyke) visits his son’s class to talk about his occupation as a TV comedy writer. Petrie’s son and the class are less than thrilled.How did it go for me?For

Alex Tew’s Million Dollar Home Page was unique for probably a completely different reason than just making the million dollars. It has spawned an immense number of competitors and there are probably many more on the way. Googling presently returns 1.5 million search results for “pixel ads”.The problem is many of them are just clones-with nothing to distinguish them from the growing pack other than perhaps limited specialisation- e.g. pixel ads for Christians, countries, towns. Its made kind of easier as you can even download free

Search engine optimization companies are popping up everywhere. Prices and service guarantees are as different as black and white. Unfortunately for companies unfamiliar with search engine optimization, some search engine optimization companies are simply scams.Here are some “red flags” which you should look for when hiring a search engine optimization specialist.Meta tags are commonly thought to be synonymous with search engine optimization. The reality is somewhat different. Meta tags do need to be formatted properly and

Men and women have been talking to each other, past each other and at each other ever since Adam became separated from his rib and the first gender gap was opened.Our early ancestors settled on a division of labor, dictated largely by biological necessity: The women bore the children and carried within their bosoms their infants' first food supply. Hence, Mama stayed home with the kids while Papa went hunting Mastodons and fighting bad guys from other tribes.Mama dug up roots and picked berries to go with the meaty victuals
Here’s a little secret, search engines crave content. Okay so maybe that’s not such a secret but to look at many websites you would think it so. The fact is that too many websites just sit there doing nothing that the search engines admire. Providing content, not to mention fresh content, is one of the toughest chores of anyone who maintains a website. But when it comes to generating traffic it is the most important job.
Blogs, by their very nature, are all about content. In a commercial environment every blog entry is fresh content. Get in the habit of making two, three, even four entries a week and you’ve got a content building bonanza on your hands. Everyone knows you need new content to give visitors a reason to come back; blogs just make the task so much easier.
Another advantage that blogs seem to currently possess over traditional web pages and sites is lack of competition. While the number of bloggers grows daily, there are still relatively few commercial blog sites. When I created my blog I found that it showed up in the number 3 spot in Google for the term “Marketing Weblog” within about 3 weeks of launch. Not bad considering I did nothing to make it happen.
There are a couple of other things you should do to make your weblog a traffic magnet. They aren’t really that different than tradition SEO tactics but the names and faces are unique to the blogging world.
Use targeted keywords in your entry titles
No rocket science here but this tip can’t be stated enough. Forget cute…go for titles that fit your targeted keywords and
