Buzzwords vs Effective SEO Keywords
Ever see a website that seems to speak a foreign language…in English? We encounter many SEO client websites that rely on buzzwords in the page copy to get the word out about their product.

1 Step Program in Achieving Your New Year’s Resolutions
In Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen’s original “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” I am reminded of the short story titled “Another Check Mark On the List.” This is a story about a 15-year-old boy named John who, on one rainy day, when it was too wet outside to play, he decided to write a list of goals. John continued writing until he had 127 goals. These goals included exploring the Nile River, climbing high mountain peaks around the world and learning 3 foreign languages.

Supply Chain Management For Middlemen
Wholesalers, distributors and other middle parties-between customers and suppliers-fight the challenge of being price competitive and service responsive, while making a profit. The traditional role of middlemen has changed. Customer base, customer locations and market size have expanded. More is expected and required.

Role of Link Popularity in getting Top Google Rankings
Link popularity has assumed tremendous importance for getting good ranks in Google now a days. In fact, what started as a friendly reciprocal link exchange program among various webmasters has now become a sub-industry within the SEO industry itself, with thousands of link farms popping up every day, claiming to provide 100s of “quality industry-related links/trade leads” for huge sum of money! Yes, if you are interested in getting top ranks in Google, then you must pay effort in building up links for your site. But, first the basics.

November 2003 might go down in history as the month that Google shook a lot of smug webmasters and search engine optimization (SEO) specialists from the apple tree. But more than likely, it was just a precursor of the BIG shakeup to come.
Dealing with Disgruntled Customers
No matter how hard you try, in business you simply can’t please everyone. You could have a highly trained customer service squadron and an award-winning product, but still you’d have some buyers who just weren’t happy.
