Big Bad Bully

Week 2 Day 3 

I should have been writing this down from the start but I guess it didn’t occur to me you track my thoughts as well as my waist size Today was “Chest and Arms” not too bad, I know I moved up on the weights , but I am soo drained in between sets I havn’t been writing it down I was using 20lbs dumb-bell for curls and shoulder exercises (at first) but toward the end of the work out.. just running out of steam and moved to 15 lbs then 10 lbs The chair dips (with legs bent) I can whip out about 20 reps I felt much better in this work out then in week one, my form is getting better, and I can feel my biceps and pecs coming back to life after years of no excersise Did not even try the on the floor, layinf sideways and lifting my upper body wit one arm.. sorry just ain;t happening.. especially at the end of the workout.. I’m spent My left shoulder is holding me back a bit.. I had some nerve damage from a 2 month hospital stay about 5 years ago… about 2 years ago I tried an over press machine, and with no pin in..meaning no weight what so ever, I could not lift it with my left arm.. think things are getting better, but my left is CONSIDERABLY weaker than my right…

All in all.. even though still sore.. I think it’s working.. my wife says she can already see a difference.. but then again she may say anything to get me to exercise

Q. We’ve been in the top 10 of Google SERPs for years for keywords like “chess software” and “chess openings.” How would you recommend getting into the top 3?

A. Going from the bottom of page 1 to the top of page 1 on Google is a game of fine tuning. I’d need to spend a fair amount of time understanding your site before I dished out good advice. And you provided me no data at all. However, assuming the site you to which you refer is the one you typed in the URL field, one thing that did jump out at me is that you’ve got a very light deep link ratio. Most of your backlinks point to the home page. I thought for a moment that this was a site without many pages that would cause the home page backlink loading to make more sense but then I saw that Google’s indexed over 800 pages. So one thing I can say is that you should improve the deep link ratio for top of the SERPs listings.

By Nancy Andrews

“You’ll be left behind if you don’t do it,”  “It’s the future of marketing,” “If you’re NOT using Social Marketing… A pox will befall your family and you will be swallowed up by a bottomless abyss” Ok… I made up the last one The point is – you’ve seen the incredible claims, scare tactics, and “Buzz” about Social Marketing… The claims have become so outrageous about the “streets paved with gold”; it has become difficult to tell reality from fantasy. This inaugural issue of vNews is devoted to the Good, Bad and Ugly side of Social Marketing. The “Bad” I hope you’ll forgive me but we are going to tackle the “Bad” first… there is just soooo much misinformation on Social Marketing; we need to get rid of the myths first. (see Video below) Then we’ll tackle the “Good”… yes, Social Marketing has its place… it’s just not a cure all for getting traffic to your site. Truth be told, unless you come up with the next “Obama Girl” video or you know how to “Digg” your way to the top, you’ll get very little traffic for the effort involved (I’m big on Return On Effort, ROE) Finally the “Ugly”… Social Media sites are already fortifying their defenses against spam and abuse…
