Summer is THE
time of year!
 |
I
love summertime. Outdoors, the beach with the
family, cookouts, and even a little mild sunburn can
be enjoyable. Many merchants plan vacations this
time of year. Smart ones begin the Christmas merchandising
plan as well. But, this article is not about that,
it is about YOU, your life, and your heart.

I
attended a great birthday party just the other Saturday.
It was a beautiful day and not a typical birthday party!
This party wasn't one of the children's birthday parties
I attend escorting my ten-year-old, or seven-year-old.
The party was for my new friend (I'll call him Jerry), who
my wife and I have come to know and love over the last few
months at our church. You see, this was his first
birthday party in a long, long time.

Writing for Search Engines:
SEO is not a Four-Letter Word
|
| My
mother was a very intelligent individual, a real renaissance
woman. One of the things I most admired about her, however,
was her assent to not knowing everything. She
used to say that she was blessed with an “approximate knowledge”
of a diversity of subjects.
Most e-merchants
fall into that category of understanding search engine optimization:
approximate knowledge. Within the last 10 years just
about everyone has become familiar with the term. However,
SEO remains a mysterious science/art/practice/treatment that
has become the thing on which urban legends are initiated.
There are, however, some skills that every e-merchant can
learn, put into practice on their sites, and begin to appear
higher in organic searches.
In the next
two issues, I hope to clarify some of your approximate knowledge
about SEO. This week, I will focus on my favorite part,
copywriting. While no doubt in the minority, I thoroughly
enjoy the challenge of taking a low traffic site and writing
it into ecommerce greatness. Well, maybe that’s a bit
of an exaggeration, but I will admit to assisting e-merchants
gain some well-deserved traction and placement higher in searches.
