Every year The Albany Herald runs a Readers' Choice contest in which their readers are able to elect the best businesses in the area. I was thrilled that this year they added the category of Web Design. (For me!? Oh, you shouldn't have.) This would be a nice recognition to receive, and I don't mind asking you to cast your vote for DanielTitus.com. The contest itself is pretty simple.

While rearranging apps on my iPhone, I became aware of a the sub-continuous ordering that had taken place. On each page I had arranged the top line of apps in descending order of importance and frequency. Going from left to right, I started with Gmail (accessed dozens of times a day) and worked my way down to the Clock (accessed only once a day). However, my middle rows are arranged in ascending order of frequency. For instance (left to right), I started with BodyRock.tv (that I have yet to access) and worked my way to Cozi (accessed about a dozen times a week).
This got me thinking about how important proper placement is for mobile website?

Ask any SEO expert, and you are likely to get the same response. Meta Descriptions are important to your website. However, it is the how and why that determine how much help they will actually be.

On a slightly more complex level it gives search engines an opportunity to display that description to their searchers as opposed to pulling primary (or worse, random) content from your pages. Herein lies the strength and dangers of meta descriptions. They can range from very good to very bad to just plain ugly.

It's quite different from a traditional yard sale; there's no setting up and displaying of items, and people are able to see what you have for sale before going to your house. It couldn't be simpler for the seller.
Just in case this is new for you, here's how it works:

I believe it was Voltaire who said, "The best is the enemy of the good." In his original poem, the target in view was that of perfectionism. Perfection is not only impossible to obtain but also becomes very costly trying to achieve. Nevertheless, many creative people become so pleasantly enamored with their work that they begin to view it as perfect ... as the best. Here our Voltairian phrase takes on new meaning. The realization of perfection is impossible to obtain, but assigning the label of perfection to a work cripples appropriate improvement. So, how do you strive for the good without being derailed by the best? Here are three safeguards to consider.
