Alphabet Soup

The SEO industry s full of confusing terms and acronyms to people not following it. i.e. PPC, CPC, ROI, SEM, drip systems, Link Popularity, optimization, Page Rank. These are also the tactics needed to succeed online. Most professioanls I speak with are to busy to work on their website let alone learn all the new technologies. We have blogs, Podcasts, MLS systems IDX. Some of the busiest professionals I know are real estate agents. They hire SEO companies to get traffic. Traffic that does not produce sales is useless. They need a website to capture this "traffic" and turn them into leads.This is a growing field, that needs constant training and research. This is what I do on a daily basis.

Search Engine Optimization

My job requires me to understand and keep up with the ever changing world of SEO. I'm a website marketing specialist who can identify keywords,analyze competition, and look at link structures.I can optimize meta tags, body, text, title and internal links to get more traffic.Building links with realated sites will help with ranking as well. Search engine submission. Tweeking of websites to ensure maximum exposure to the search engines. Web statistics have to be monitored and tactics changed based on trends in traffic.

Shuttle Debris

Listening to the radio this morning I heard the shuttle did a 180 so the astronauts could get some pictures of the underside of the shuttle to check for damage, foam fell off during launch.They are supposed to do a spacewalk later this morning. I do not want to see us lose another shuttle. I watched Challenger STS-51 blow up on live TV in grade school, it still haunts me to this day.
