Keep Killing Em with a Smile

Breakdown:  I never really needed anyone to boost my confidence, I was always hungry for knowledge, passionate about the truth, but very cautious of the world, while being very curious.  I want more than what pure imagination could give me, so I always thought differently but remained real.

What do you think?  How do you live your life?  Any quotes you go by?

A Lesson in SEO and Web Design

you are a noob

you are a noob

Just recently I have been searching for a better way to tag and help guide new visitors to my blog and website, and realized I have been doing quite a few backwards thinking.  I have been thinking about all the shiny things like views, ad revenues (though I don’t have any), and subscribers, but forgetting the key elements of good content.

It’s not like I have been this way before, but sometimes you mind tend to linger and you seem to get greedy and want things too fast and a whole lot of it.  I been tagging and writing good content on my blog for a great deal of 2010 and 2011, and usually saw a great deal of improvement from it, but since October – December I saw a very steady decline and wonder how I can revamp my blog and website.

So like a noob (well a person who needs to learn better to excel and be a pro) I went to  google my ultimate teacher of information and researched some quality terms and information to  help bring me back to my normal way of thinking.

Here are the results I have learned:

1. Write Great Quality Useful Content
1.1 If you are a blogger/journalist/writer, write unique, honest, interesting stories and content
2. Don’t follow others (noobs) on the internet
3. Use good visual aids (Photos and Videos) that reflect what you are writing about
4. Write a < TITLE> < /TITLE> tag for each page that accurately describes that page
5. Link to quality relevant sites (Mashable, Wikipedia, and specific titled pages)
6. Don’t you dare SPAM tags
7. Create quick loading pages
8. Beware of broken links and lack of readable content of each page (including drop down menus, don’t use JavaScript or Flash links exclusively) be sure to add < A HREF> links to your body copy of text

My New Learned Lesson

9. Using 1 word keyword and tags is too broad and SUPER competitive (Think of 2-4 or more word keywords, tags and phrases) and aim for popular terms and trends
9.1 When tagging and aiming for better page ranks, optimize your “META description tag”  (This is what most search engine look for to represent your site)
10. Remember to share more using at least 3-7 sites consistently like (StumbleUpon, Reddit, Twitter, Delicious, Facebook, Digg, Technorati and others)
10.1 When writing your body copy text aim for 1000 words or more, but nothing fewer than 250 words

BONUS:

11. Comment on similar quality content sites such as your own
12. Join a community in your most talked about topic (Great way to meet others, and other to check you out if you provide quality comments and information)
13. Do write regularly (Create a schedule, 2-3 times per week shall do you just fine)
14. Write attractive and Catchy (HONEST) titles
15. Make sure you tell your friends about it and Network and make new friends

Most of these I practice daily and advise my friends, peers, and even random strangers, but for me I forgot what I was doing for a season and missed one major lesson, if you built it right, they will come.  You must remember, they may not come as soon as you want, but the pay off later will be greater and can me maintained.

A great site I rediscovered is:  http://websitehelpers.com
Tons of great quality info.

not a noob

Happy Holidays, and good luck building.

Do you have any specific questions on SEO and Web Design?  Have you been lusting for views, comments, subscribers, page rank and more?

Shoot me a comment or tweet and let me know your thoughts and opinions…

PS: I wasn’t really trying to get more views via my blog, I was mostly testing how to make my videos more viewable to a boarder audience using my blog then relying on youtube for it’s view.  I am still learning.

We All Just Want Someone To Love

Love the Hard Way
Image via Wikipedia

We as people can be harmful, hard-headed, stubborn and insecure and more other bad things to ourselves to not allow us to enjoy living our lives and loving someone.  I am not wrong for saying, we all just want someone to love, someone to call our own.  It’s very important to have such a security in life to know who you can depend on and who cares for you greatly.

Some of us be saying stupid remarks, like oh if someone ain’t going love me for who I am then they don’t need to be with me.  You are selfish, think about loving the person first.  You just want and not give, that’s kind of sad.  We all have to compromise sometimes for the better good of both parties.  Now some relationships may not work a certain way or won’t work now but later, but it’s your job to figure it out, seek the best option for you, and not what everyone else is doing in the world, they are not you.

I know I might be going off on a tangent right here, but we want what others want most of the times.  That lovely smile, that nice car, that big booty,  that good credit, but everything you see is not what it really is and you don’t know what that person has sacrifice to have such a clean outlook or appeal.  Relationship is work, and loving someone is a full-time job.  If you want love, you need to love yourself first and then love someone, then you might be surprise to see how great of a love you will receive back.

Not all love are the same, and come back as much as you would want, but you are receiving the love in which that person can offer.  It can get better, you can get worse, but it’s knowing the person is trying to love, it determined to love better and working at it is what it is all about.   You just don’t get an A on a test or in a class, you work for it, you come to class on time, you study, you educate, you go in aiming for the best results and keep at it until you get the results you need.

We all want love, and someone to love, but love yourself and love someone and you will soon come to see someone will love you just as well or even more.

how do you feel about love?  Do you currently have some relationship jitters?  Do you feel you are loved by someone?

You can always talk to me, leave a comment, send me a message or email and we can talk it on out…
