SEO questions

April 17th, 2009

I get asked an SEO question every single day. As I interact with business owners, managers, webmasters, and the like - I am literally bombarded with “silver bullet” questions… like - “what is the one single thing I need to do - to improve my SEO?” - my answer is always the same - back up, slow down, stop thinking there is a silver bullet. - There is no silver bullet (unless you want to spend money out your wazooo) - so, stick to slow, steady, WHITE HAT SEO… and over a long period of time, your site will improve and STICK (that is the important part) in the search engines, and your sales and reputation will improve over a long period of time - if done correctly, and of course, if a whole host of other factors fall into place perfectly.

How do related searches affect your primary SEO goals ?

March 31st, 2009

I was talking to a very smart friend of mine told me that he got his eyes fixed by Dr. Robert T Lin - and has highly recommended Dr. Robert T Lin as a top Lasik Eye Surgeon for Lasik Los Angeles -he also told me about a great lasik blog called IQ Lasik Blog. It seems to have a lot of great lasik information about lasik and IQ Lasik Blog seems to be written by a well respected  lasik surgeon - Dr. Robert T. Lin. He is the founder and medical director of IQ Laser Vision. Dr. Lin seems to answer a lot of good questions and provides a ton of lasik information about lasik and the lasik blog called IQ Lasik Blog is highly reccommended by me. So, if you are ever in need of lasik Los Angeles - be sure to look up IQ Laser Vision and read a great lasik blog called IQ Lasik Blog. So, I told him that sounded really nice… and I started talking to him about the Obama Stimulus bill… and we just started talking for hours about it… debating what the effects would be, how it would impact our lives and the direction of the country from here… it was all good… by the end, we didnt agree on everything, but we enjoyed discussing these important issues.

 

 

 

Today I would like to begin a discussion about the business of blogs in the medical community. This entry will be even more specific - the lasik blog industry.

General SEO philosophy calls for providing the best and of course the most relevant results when a user searches a search engine such as yahoo and google. But, what about related searches ? How important are related searches and related search terms to the primary search terms that an SEO enthusiast is focusing on at any one time ? I am sure this discussion will spur a myriad of interesting discussions sure to stir up some controversy… since SEO is more of a work in progress and not yet a complete science.

Obamas Stimulus Bill

February 20th, 2009

So Obama got his wishes this week, as he signed into law the stimulus bill. It got no republican votes in the house of representatives and only three votes in the senate. I am very interested in politics and me and my friends discuss politics all the time. This stimulus bill has been all we can talk about lately - so at coffee the other day, I was talking to a very smart friend of mine told me that he got his eyes fixed by Dr. Robert T Lin - and has highly recommended Dr. Robert T Lin as a top Lasik Eye Surgeon for Lasik Los Angeles -he also told me about a great lasik blog called IQ Lasik Blog. It seems to have a lot of great lasik information about lasik and IQ Lasik Blog seems to be written by a well respected  lasik surgeon - Dr. Robert T. Lin. He is the founder and medical director of IQ Laser Vision.

Bailout the Big Three?

November 21st, 2008

So, the Big Three US Automakers showed up to capitol hill this week and begged for bailout money for their flailing industry… bottom line, no one is buying cars, period. My brother has a Dodge Ram truck, and he had his eyes fixed by Dr. Robert T Lin - and has highly recommended Dr. Robert T Lin as a top Lasik Eye Surgeon for Lasik Los Angeles - well, anyway, he told me that he was thinking about buying a new truck… but, with all the recent financial turmoil… he is going to wait a while… so, even if we give all this money to the automakers, is it going to matter ? Will anyone buy any cars ? I know that I have no plans of buying any cars at the moment… I am going to drive my old cars for as long as they hold on :)

So, the government just officially bailed out most of wall street… is this good… is this bad ? Who really knows for sure… since, we probably won’t know for sure for many many years.

What we do know is that our entire financial system was about to collapse… and now it probably won’t.

But, a bill always comes due… so, we will see what happens.

Loans

March 30th, 2008

Where a person or company borrows money from another with the intention of paying this amount back, the money is said to be on loan; any type of financial arrangement will require the borrower to enter into an agreement with the lender. The true definition would include, services, products or people (like staff) but for the purposes of this piece it is financial arrangements we are concerned with. The period a loan will run generally depends on the financial circumstances of the borrower but normally the longer this period, the more it will cost; the usual repayment method is based around monthly installments but this period can be longer.

The debt is repaid but an interest charge is added for the service being provided and the method by which the lender is compensated. Although not seen as much these days one type of financial agreement ensures that the first payments made to clear the debt are in fact just the charges on the sum owed. More frequently the amount is repaid in equal installments, a portion of which is the interest.

Most of the time, this is the only contact the majority of people have with financial companies and it is just one of many roles they have; although this is the most important. Bank loans and credit are one way to increase a person’s or company’s money supply; other ways to raise capital are available but none as easy as this.

A mortgage is a very common type of debt and the primary method used by individuals to purchase a house however with this type, the money advance can only be used for the purpose for which it was intended. As the amount involved is generally much greater, the financing company which owns the debt retains the titles to the property for the entirety of the mortgage, only releasing the title when the last payment is made. With this type of loan, should the borrower fail to make payments on the loan or default, then the bank or other financial institution has the right to sell the property; they have the option of selling it to reclaim their money or keeping it as an investment.

In some instances, a loan taken out to purchase a new or used car may be secured on the car itself; in this instance, the car becomes it’s own security for the debt. Car loans are generally much shorter as the useful life of a car is correspondingly reduced; usually lasting no more than 5 years, maximum.

The marketing companies are clever at disguising unsecured loans and the vast majority of people do not even realize they probably have them; usually this type of arrangement refers to money, credit cards and bank overdrafts, to name a just a few. Typically, interest rates on credit cards or store cards will be the highest but all unsecured credit rates will of course vary from one lender to the next.

In some countries, predatory lenders are called loan sharks and it is where they supply money at high interest rates with the sole intention of gaining control over a person. This is an area where credit card companies in some countries are also criticized as they supply cards at very high rates of interest and add on other spurious charges to the holder. Take a step back before you sign any financial agreement.
