Schatzlein's Saddle--A Thriving Business and Community Landmark for 98 Years
When Emil Schatzlein left Kilzschein in the Bavarian Wine country, he came to Minneapolis with several others from his hometown. He was a leather maker and he wanted to set up a business in a central location. At the time, Minneapolis was a thriving milling and lumber center set on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi. It was a small commercial area surrounded by farms and he knew that farmers needed harnesses. So he set up shop on Lake Street near Lyndale Avenue at the eastern edge of the city. Not too long before, Lake Street was the main Indian path from Lake Calhoun to Fort Snelling.His decision turned out to be a good one. Many farmers were German and liked to deal with him because he made a good product. They also liked the location because it was easy to find. As the years passed, the city expanded. Schatzlein's no longer was at the edge of the city, but very much in the center. The products he sold changed with the expansion. Horses no longer were used nearly exclusively for labor, people began to ride them for enjoyment. Sales of harnesses gave way to saddles and leather boots. The trend has continued into

Why Day Job Killer Should Be Called Day Job Replacer Instead
Seems these days every Internet mass marketer, and their brother, has the secret ingredient or method of replacing your current day job grind with an instant, or near instant, million dollar a year from Internet sales and marketing gimmick. Well I'm here to tell you Day Job Killer is another one of those gimmicks or fads if you will. The only difference between Day Job Killer and other such Internet marketing methods is that Day Job Killer will work - for now. I'm going to divulge the truth behind it and from there let you make your own decision if you should proceed with using the methods it provides for affiliate marketing.But first for the new people to affiliate marketing and to those of you who want to read some credibility about myself the next 5 paragraphs will be on my background and a general lesson on affiliate marketing. I will get back to Day Job Killer I promise.Ok, so let me give you a little history on myself. I'm sure it will sound like countless others you've heard and maybe even close to your own story. I got my first Internet access account way back in 1991 and since then I have always th

I was reading through some articles that were submitted to my article site the other day. Some are really very good, but on the other hand, some were not.

Of the "bad" ones, the thing that struck me was how easy it was to pick out the main keyword the author was using when he/she wrote the article. Even after reading only the first paragraph, I could spot it, and my suspicions were confirmed as I continued down the article.

Articles written around a main (primary) keyword often read very badly. The author tries to insert the exact phrase over and over again, even when it is not grammatically correct to do so. The article sounds forced (because it is).

And my point is?

Well my point here is that if I can spot this type of keyword focused content, so can a search engine. Articles written in this way are written for the search engine, not the visitor, and are therefore going to be the type of article that the search engines want to remove from their database. Remember, the search engines want to serve up the most relevant content with the best information. They will assume (as I would) that any article written purely for the search engine is not going to be of interest to a visitor.

So, where does that leave us in terms of keyword research? Does this mean we should not target primary keyword phrases?

Keyword research, and manipulation of keywords going into an article has evolved in recent years.

When I first started out it was simple. Write content around one primary keyword and 2 or 3 secondary keywords. Insert the primary in the title, meta tags, H1 header tag, twice in each paragraph, H2 header etc etc. Insert the secondaries throughout the article.

Nowadays that optimization technique would be labelled as keyword stuffing by the search engines and ranked appropriately.

In fact, I would not recommend any technique that had hard and fast rules about where to insert keywords into a document. With rules, you leave footprints, and footprints are visible to the search engines.

This week I read a newly released "SEO tutorial" which offered exact methods of keyword placement involving inserting exact numbers of keywords into various parts of a page. Sure it helps a writer concentrate on the objective of the article having such firm rules, but don't expect it to help your rankings. If you follow the same rules on all your content, all your content has the same footprint.

Obviously keywords are important since they will tell the search engines what a page is about. Don't forget though that keywords in incoming link text is important (even more important than the keywords on a page) in the page ranking.

Keyword optimization must involve both on-page and off-page strategies.

Off page factors are relatively easy. Select several phrases you want to rank for, and get incoming links that include those phrases. Add more phrases into the inbound link text mix as time goes by.

On-page optimization appears a little trickier.

The way you should be thinking about writing content is not so much about focusing on individual keywords, but more on the overall theme of a page.

When people search for stuff at the search engines, they enter a wide range of phrases, even when searching for the same information. Your job is to find all of the variations of search terms used, and pick out those words that often appear in the set of searches. Using these common words in your content will ensure that your page is themed around the topic of your main keyword.

For example, if you were writing a web page about baby shower invitations, you would look for all phrases related to baby showers AND invitations.

Here is how I would do it.

1. Go to Wordtracker and do a compressed search for baby shower invitation (with "number of results" set to 500).

Wow, Wordtracker returns 500 results for this phrase. THat will give us plenty to work on.

2. Get Wordtracker to calculate the competition for you. Using this method of keyword harvesting, Wordtracker will only find the competition for the first 100 words, but that is OK. These 100 will be the most common search phrases in the group, and those are the ones we are most interested in (since they are the phrases that are most often typed in, and therefore can be used to most strongly theme our page).

3. Email the results to yourself.

4. Import the keywords into your favourite "keyword manipulation" tool. I use Keyword Results Analyzer, but you can use a spreadsheet if you have the relevant spreadsheet skills.

Now, you need to find the words that are most often associated with your main phrase "baby shower invitation(s)" in the queries made at the search engines. This will tell you what words are highly related to your main phrase, and therefore should be used to theme your page.

5. Order your phrases by Count, with the highest count at the top. This will put the most common phrases at the top of your list.

The next step depends on how many "themeing words" you want.

6. Select the top 10 phrases. Here they are in my example:

baby shower invitations
baby shower footprint invitation
baby shower invitation
free printable baby shower invitations
baby shower invitation wording
free baby shower invitations
free baby shower invitation
baby shower invitation ideas
wording guide for baby shower invitations
abc girl baby shower invitations

All you now need to do is make a list of all unique keywords that appear in this list. They will be the words that are most often associated with baby shower invitations searches, and therefore the best ones to use to theme your page.

Fortunately KRA gives us this information in the reports:

Here are the themeing words:

abc
baby
footprint
free
girl
guide
ideas
invitation
invitations
printable
shower
wording

A web page that is written to include these words in the page, will inevitably be seen as a page on baby shower invitations by a search engine, since these words are most commonly found in baby shower invitation searches.

Add into the mix, one or two occurrences of the exact phrase "baby shower invitation" on the page, plus inbound links containing this and other related phrases, and you will have a page that should do well for a variety of baby shower invitation queries.

If you are writing a longer article, this last step can be changed to include the top 20, top 30 or more phrases.

Here are the unique themeing words to use if you use the top 20 phrases instead of the top 10 as shown above:

abc

How to Align Your Team through Change
Eight Principles for Purposeful AlignmentEffective teamwork requires individual members of the team to be connected by, and aligned to a common purpose, values and sense of identity. Sometimes individuals can drift away from the team as a result of the mental limitations they create about their work and role.The following eight principles can be considered as a guide to the type of thinking and action that will serve you well in your interactions with your colleagues:1. Success starts with clarity of purpose Successful people, in whatever way you want to think about success, have a very strong sense of purpose. This applies as much to their life as it does to each endeavour they engage in. When thinking and acting become detached from purpose, decision-making may suffer, and this will impact on you and the people you associate with.2. Alignment transforms energy into effectiveness Alignment here means the connection between Purpose, Identity, Values & Beliefs, Capability and Action. If you put energy into actions that violate your values or your sense of identity, then you are unli

Telemarketing - Big Business or Big Annoyance?
Telemarketing. It makes you just want to throw your telephone out of a window. How many times would you be just about ready to sit down at the dinner table, ready to dig into your nice juicy roast beef, when the phone rings? You get up to answer it, thinking that it might be important only to pick up the receiver to the sound of..."Do you suffer from acid indigestion?"And you immediately hang up the phone in disgust, mumbling a few words that can't be printed in this article. You go back to your dinner table and swear that if the phone rings again it had better be important or there will be hell to pay.Let's face it, we ALL hate telemarketers.So just what is it to this telemarketing thing and why do people do it in spite of the fact that they are some of the most hated people on this planet?Well, for starters, it's a position that pays regardless of whether or not you actually make a sale. Most telemarketing positions pay about $7 an hour depending on where you live. If a sale is made in the process then you get additional commissions for each sale. For some people it's all they c

As you have seen, selecting keywords for themeing pages is very easy to do, and just by making sure that these words are included in your page, you will be themeing your page and getting the on-page factors right, all without overly focusing on a primary keyword.

All you then need to do is work on off-page factors, getting incoming links with link text rich in a range of primary phrases and themeing words.

There are as many different types of business ideas as there are fish in the sea, but how do you find the business idea that works for you? Learn how to narrow your focus and take advantage of global business opportunities.

I’d be a rich person if I had a nickel for everyone out there who has decided to open a new in-home care agency, open a professional geriatric care management practice, or start some sort of elder care business. (I get a call or email about this at least 3 times per week consistently!)What I know for sure is that there is plenty of business to go around. As we live longer, as our parents and grandparents live longer, we create an unlimited opportunity and need for senior related services.

Once you've jumped through all the hoops to bring a new customer into your business, how do you start to create repeat sales and customer value?
