The Relevancy of Natural SEO

By Leave a Comment

In a land long… long time ago there once was the age of stuffing every keyword you could find into a tiny HTML page for SEO.  St. Google would be happy to index it as “Relevancy” and give you some kudos until one day St. Google was able to put the human spin on what the content really appeared to be. That content wasn't very good and to the average “Joe” reading the site, was lost in a vocabulary dungeon of irrelevancy.

What is Natural SEO

We hear all the time the importance of writing for humans and not for Google. When we write for humans we fear that Google won't like that and it is a trend that really must be reckoned with. For my site, I just write mainly because my goal isn't for Google but for a place I can share ideas, help how to's, and general topics that peak my interest. My end goal isn't to convert a customer like I would do for other sites. [Read more…]

By Leave a Comment

Small business owners need to understand how Google+ Local can help gain exposure for your business.  Many businesses fail to realize that the internet is a powerful source of information. Albeit we don’t like it at times and even intimidating to newer users, it is something that most recognize that is important.

5 Strategies for Dealing with Workplace Stress

By 2 Comments

This is a Guest Post by Ryan Rivera of www.CalmClinic.com

Stress is more than an emotion. Stress is a poison. Stress puts pressure on your organs that can cause irreparable harm or long term health consequences. Stress damages brain cells. Stress can lead to mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. It is one of the single worst things you can do for your body.

Yet more and more people allow themselves to be subjected to persistent stress, primarily because more and more people allow themselves to get stressed at the workplace. With the economy struggling and employers overworking their staff, it's easy to get overwhelmed at work without the option of finding a great new job elsewhere.

Although you may have a good reason for experiencing this stress, it's imperative that you find a way to cope. The stress you experience at work may seem minor or temporary, but over time it can lead to very serious health problems, missed work, and a dramatically reduced quality of life. [Read more…]

3 Most Important Areas of Your Life

By Leave a Comment

Doesn’t it seem that everyone has a specific view on what should be most important in your life? My title of “3 Most Important Areas of Your Life” really should have an additional “dot dot dot” because for me my faith should be the most important followed by family then work. I am human just like you. Ironic, don’t your think? Mike, Mike, Mike… but wait, you’re telling me the 3 most important things in life aren’t “Love, Sex, and Rock-n-roll”? I guess you could make a persuasive argument. JK

Over the weekend I attended the high school graduation for the seniors of Smithville High School. Jenn’s brother finally completed his 13 years of the public education system and will be off to boot camp before we know it. We are certainly proud that he accomplished this milestone that is the beginning of a new era of his legacy and name. [Read more…]

Manifesto of Focus: Recharging Your Battery

By 2 Comments

No, I'm not talking about the Duracel batteries but recharging your internal battery. We all get beat down and need that source of energy to fight through the rollacoaster they call life. You exactly know what I mean!

Today life throws so many curve balls at us that it is easy to get distracted. Such as in my industry, working online can even provide additional distractions. Things like email, instant messaging, Twitter, Facebook, online forums, blogs, other social networks, news sites, phones, mobile devices, text messages, Skype, podcasts, Google Alerts, mobile apps, videos, online music, online shopping, internet radio, paperwork, online games, solitaire, internet TV, and ebooks all provide a source of potential distracting outcomes through out the day. Oh, did I miss something? I am sure you can add kiddos, spouse, and etc to the list. 🙂 [Read more…]

Jump Page HTML

By Leave a Comment


anchorI thought this would be a quick easy thing to share as it is something that I run across that needs to be done occasionally. I would bet that people are searching all the time on how to create a jump page or what is a jump page. It basically is simple HTML that you can add in your page that will give you a great way to allow people to move swiftly inside your page….especially if it is an extremely long page with a lot of content.

Jump Page How To:

  1. Create a basic link pointing to another section on the page using the A HREF (HTML).
  2. Give the “point” on the page a definitive “name”. Click Here Example
