Living the Dream ~ Kinda ~

I started web marking over a decade ago, when online poker started its hard push.  Fast forward to today and I work with clients all over the country to help them find new customers on the internet.  Part of this process of moving into a service provider position I had to establish a brick and mortar location in which to operate.

The community we chose is a beautiful bedroom community to Jacksonville, Florida.  Unfortunately we have had nothing but problems here in relation to my child.  The Camden County School System has been completely incompetent in dealing with my child with Asperger's Syndrome.  which has really turned what could of been a beautiful thing into a nightmare.

We are now fighting for change inside of their system.  What we have seen out of the Camden County School System in reply to our request has been nothing but apathy and inaction.

Market Domination with Web 2.0

Social media assets are a very important tool to use in search engine optimization.  The problem I see is that many abuse these platforms.  When creating web 2.0 properties to support another website you must make sure that you provide value to the platform you are publishing on, not just create bad content for the sake of dropping a few links.

Some examples of web 2.0 properties that we have created using my favorite web 2.0 platform are:

• Bradenton used cars - A landing page that provides links to used car resources in Bradenton, FL.
• Dealer Micros Sites - Shows how car dealers can use web 2.0 properties for dealer microsites.
• Paul Rushing - A lens about myself that really needs to be updated.

Social assets are the new search tool.  Make sure you deploy them properly and provide value to the platform that you are creating them on.
If you do not provide value to the platform you really are nothing more than a platform spammer.

Localized Terms Again

I have been working on a few wordpress scrips that will allow the platform to be used as a full cms.  The first site was done to populate content about Kingsland Used Cars.  The thing that scares me with this type of content publsihing is I am not sure how the search engines will react to a brand new site with hundreds of fresh pages.

I am going to see how long it takes the search engines to index this content then I will follow up with some best practices and tips for using wordpress as a full function CMS.
