I try to have a post up once a week (more or less). Believe it or not, it isn't because I am somehow disillusioned into thinking that you can't go without reading my thoughts. It isn't even solely to give you reason to come back to my site. (Though that is part of it.) The chief reason can be put simply into three letters: S-E-O. That's right; my writing to you is almost purely of a self-serving nature. Sure, I want to help you out, but it so happens that I'm doing it in a way that helps me out. In this post I'm going to talk about two controllable factors that can help improve your SEO. That's right; there is something that you, yes you, can do.

In every line of thinking there is always a great debate that will never be satiated.  Creation vs Evolution; Nature vs Nurture; Britney vs Christina; Butter Side Up vs Down.  When it comes to design the debate is almost always Readable vs Artistic.  Is it more important for your logo to grab someone's attention or convey what you do?  Is it more important for your site to look cool or be easy to navigate?  It it more important for your ad to be legible or to look awesome?

This weekend my wife and I went to the theatres to see The Social Network.  This is huge for me because we haven't seen a movie in ten months.  Obviously, being a computer geek who dabbles in the social media, this was a must see for me.  As my title suggests, I went a way with some implications that I feel should be discussed, but I absolutely loved the movie.  I loved The Social Network for the following 6 reasons.

I'm going to blow right past the question of Should I Advertise and jump right into the question of How should I Advertise.  (We all know we need to advertise.  Except, of course, for the few of us who are just fine with mediocrity.)  There are of course questions of where and when, but you know what they say... focusing on the how.  This week we will take a look at advertising and how it should Be Different.

The whole idea of advertising is to sell more product (or more services)... or to raise more awareness... or... (You know what I mean.)
