I'm sure it does Lissie - and a team of window cleaners!

The thing about the swiss army knife is that it contains such a large number of tools in one little body that it is super convenient to carry easily around. When leaving earth, I would definitely want to carry it with me. You never quite know what you might need!
Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks @Jimmie. Oh I've read all the SEO stuff. I love all the analysis. I think it's important to understand what the experts think before you ignore it.

I think Squidoo rewards clickouts because it keeps the reader moving forward, signalling to googIt also rewards resource lenses which are hugely popular.le that they found what they wanted and not returning to the search engine.

I make the assumption that if users find my pages useful then google will detect that and send more traffic to them. Of course it's not that simple, but I think it's a good model to work from.

Thanks very much for this. I, a newbie, started reading all the stuff on SEO and keywords and I learned a lot about how the Internet works. I think that is important. But once you have an idea about how it works, it is important to find a balance between that and offering great content and honest reviews. You have given me the confidence to stick with what I know best and love and have the patience until my presence on the Internet gets established (actually, re-established - as owner of a clinic, I had a website that was very established, but I didn't know anything about Internet and when I closed the clinic someone else bought the domain - that was a lesson for me!).

Thanks for sharing this. Every bit of encouragement helps. It is so easy to get overwhelmed by all the new learning that needs to happen. A middle age career change these days is quite a challenge.

Thanks. Terri for the glimpse into your methods. I began with the same approach, but I have probably read TOO much of the SEO advice. For Example I have been linking out less and less. Interesting that Squidoo has always rewarded click outs.

I ,too, refuse to write about something that doesn't interest me. I just can't fake it.

Thanks Sally. These items are really fun, and stylish.

I also have liked St Patrick's Day quite a bit. Like you, it told me Spring was coming and all that deserved a drink! I always had a problem finding something green to wear on that day... I just don't have a lot of green items...Thank you so much for the compliment... means a lot to me. This was the first time I have used the new font and I think I like it too.

Setting goals is what it's all about. I'm off to get busy on Wizzley too :)

I was born in NZ and the weather in the North of the North Island is not too chilly. The 'Bay of Islands' is in this area and they are just amazing! There are also some beautiful islands around the coastline of Australia where I now live, especially on the Great Barrier Reef. A popular place to access the islands is from Airlie Beach in Queensland. A spectacular part of the world too! Hope you make it down here one day, I'm sure you would love it :)

@ Kingnet... LOL, yep some of us do... that was funny...
Happy Valentine's Day to you as well!

I could never live in a country that does tipping! I am perfectly happy to tip in 3rd world countries - but in NZ I pay my hairdresser about US$90 for a cut and colour - I certainly don't tip on top of that! I'm not sure whether he's a contractor (paying rent for his station) or an employee, he may even be the owner, I don't generally discuss his employment conditions with him! How could you you even know if your stylist owned the salon?

What an amazing compliment to find this lovely article featuring our Zazzle shop, The Vintage Vamp. Thank you so much for featuring our designs on the Rickshaw Messenger Bags. These are a fabulous product and we are so excited to be designing them on Zazzle for our customers.

Wow! That's great! I'd better get to work.

What an inspiring story Karen! With that sort of determination this making online thing will be a piece of cake for you!
