Yahoo.com Redesigns, Will it Bring New Life or is it too Little too Late?

Fifteen years ago when I first discovered the internet I would never have imagined Yahoo.com would ever be a dated, near irrelevant web property. When I was in highschool Yahoo ruled the web, much like Google does now. If you wanted to find anything worthwhile, you first visited this visually simplistic web directory. Yes, I said directory... because back then, we didn't have search engines. Yahoo was just a collection of websites organized by category. And yes, when they did develop software to search their listing it was nothing short of revolutionary.

Optimizing my Snowboarding Blog

To optimize my blog, I first created a Google Analytics account. I liked this up with my WordPress blog. I also created a Squidoo account. At first, I had no idea how Squidoo worked. After messing around with the site for a while, I felt confident enough to create a lens. I made a lens about the top 5 women's snowboards of 2013 that I would most like to try out. I made sure that my title was optimized by using the phrase "women's snowboards" and the year 2013 for people searching for the most curren gear. In my introduction I also repeated my title keywords in singular and plural forms.

Let's Get Optimized

After commuting back and forth from State this semester, winter driving has been a huge discussion topic in my household. It just so happens that we also got a crazy amount of Lake Effect Snow this weekend, which worked perfectly for photographing pictures for my blog! Like the one below I took this morning.

Search Engines Optimization for Dummies

I am still relatively new to the world of blogging, and there’s a lot to learn. The next item on my plate is learning about search engine optimization, or SEO for short.

Millennials Can Use SEO to Reach Millennials

There are only so many times you can be told that SEO is the key to success… but I experienced it first-hand tonight. I’ve been working on optimizing my blog since last week (picking out keywords such as "millennial" and "generation y" through the Google Keyword tool I mentioned in my blog post/assignment last week); I wanted to pick a topic that I could actually write about.

SEO and Detroit Food Squidoo

When I sat down to do this assignment, I was very confused. I came to it a few different times hoping I would be able to understand it more clearly with a clear head. With that being said, I did a lot of Googling and researching on my own about SEO. I did use the assigned readings and videos as a reference, but I learned a lot on my own.

Don't Let Your Blog Be A Mystery Spot

SEO What?

The Mystery Spot

What We Do for Love

Two screens. Apple computer, Dell computer, Ipad, Iphone, scores of readings, hours of looking for code that maybe I wasn't going to find. Writing hundreds of words. Choosing between them. Headlines? The Wall Street Journal once told me I was a fine writer but my heds ... hmmm ... perhaps why I didn't go to the Asian WSJ offices. Pictures. Now hold still everybody. Where is that stack of old photos? In the closet? They'll fall on me.
