Carefree Communications

I can tell you I have been very disappointed by Microsoft and they online search platforms for a long time.  I am not a Microsoft fanboy but I do have a ton of respect for Bill Gates and I also really want someone to toughen up and stand up as a true alternative to Google.  At one time that was Yahoo but Yahoo has let more and more slip from their fingers, but hell at least they had something.

SEO Watch today though reports on an interview with Grad Conn of Microsoft talking about some pretty cool technology Microsoft is using in the area of Health Related Searches.  Now I sure would like to see more things like this from Microsoft.  Any way check out the article and why do you think Microsoft with massive resources can’t seem to get it right online?

The Google Blog today posted about a new feature in a post called, Twice the Sitelinks. Sitelinks are as pictured on the right links to specific sub pages that appear in search results when certain searches are made. These point to very specific sub pages on the listed site that help searchers find what they need quickly.

Up until now they have displayed perhaps 4 links and now as you can see they are displaying as many as 8. To make sure this is possible it is necessary to properly tag and optimize your individual pages. A step often missed by non SEO focused hasty webmasters.

Google has also been tweaking things so that Sitelinks will appear for many more websites, and with more descriptive names. These improvements should help visitors and again is yet another reason for good site optimization.

OK it was a tough day at the office the day we filmed this.  Neil Franklin, my partner and good friend grabbed my cheap video camera and pushed me into one of my alter egos and this video was the result.

Please before you watch this understand that “Crazy Jack” uses quite a few 4 letter words.  Remember you too can own this Golf System for only 19.95!

Well I decided to finish up my jon boat modification project while the women go shopping during the time off. I started this project last year and just did not fish at all this year and never finished it up. It is about done now but I don’t know when I will get the chance to update the pictures and notes. Anyway I just figured you may want to see what I work on other then Internet Marketing.

I am an outdoorsmen at heart and look forward to catching up on my fishing in the coming year.

OK I must bow before one of the master bloggers of our time, Jeremy Shoemaker and his post entitled “Things Internet Marketers can learn from Pick Up Artist“.  It is just awesome I recommend you read and join in the conversation about it.

The key traits he points out are,

• Listen and Learn
• Approach Moving Targets
• Be Confident
• Make Your Visitor Feel Safe
• Be Interesting

This is one of the best posts this year in my opinion.   Excellent use of video as well in my opinion.
