SEO for Dummies

Of course anyone who is tech or Internet savvy knows that you don’t just build a website, launch it, and leave it at that. There’s a lot of work to be done. For instance, I’ve had to edit some text here and there, check for bad links, modify some images, etc. I’ve also been reading about SEO (Search Engine Optimization) which is very important, if you want to see your site rise up in the search engines, especially Google and Yahoo (the two giants). Again I’ve headed for Peter Kent’s excellent Search Engine Optimization for Dummies. I don’t know why, but I find the For Dummies books irresistible; it’s hard to put down (literally) a For Dummies book once I start!

You can go to my website and see some changes I’ve made, particularly the home page. I also want to encourage you to send me feedback, so I can learn and see what viewers want. Thanks in advance.

The great things about the Internet

I was just thinking of this while folding my clothes Hee hee. Here are a couple of things I came up with:

  1. Help and advice are readily available, provided you look for it. And most of the time, people don’t even think about charging you.
  2. A sense of belonging. This is especially true in a great forum such as BigBlueBall, where I’ve met lots of nice folks. Furthermore, with Instant Messaging such as Windows Live Messenger, you’re never alone.
  3. International brotherhood. Yeah, I just coined this up. Tied in with #1, because while you can search for help and advice, you can also contribute ideas and solutions. It’s an international win-win situation.
  4. Opportunities. Granted, there are thousands of scams on the web, but there are also genuine opportunities. This is something I am really looking into!

Any thoughts? Please drop a comment here (no moderation or approval in my blog, your comment will appear immediately).

What a strange dream

Had the strangest dream last night. I suddenly found myself in London, England. Disoriented, and without any money in my pocket. It was like something from the movie Jumper.

Going back to my dream, I quickly made a beeline to a nearby college. People took no notice of me, I passed a huge cafeteria with lots of students and discovered an IT center. Went into it, asked if I could get Internet access, and was told (this is the freaky part) “We don’t have Internet access here, and even if we did, you’d have to pay!!”

That really woke me up. Am I trying to tell myself I can’t survive without the Internet?
