color blind?
i'm looking at the post i just did about how seo and gambling in las vegas are similar, and i noticed that the links are invisible to me... i think they are supposed to be a different color than the text, but all the text looks black. is it my colorblindness? do the links stand out to anyone? feedback appreciated. thanks.
seo
perhaps you are wondering [but probably you are not] why 533chestnut.com focuses on 'almost everything internet' but not search engine optimization. here's one of the reasons. big players [j.c.penney, huffington post and others] with millions of dollars to spend have been gaming google, twisting the seo results leaving smaller players [me] in the dust. seo reminds me of stock market day traders glued to their computers watching every little bump in the activity, putting stock trading in the same category as slot machines in las vegas. that said, if you follow the google recomendations for spreading your presence on the web, can have very nice results thank you.

manure for your mind
today, the ecreferral group decided to refocus our marketing efforts on mastermind. but we could not think of a more common word. brainstorming. sparking your creativity. manure for your mind. to highlight our strength, which is to focus the groupthink on a business problem. and btw, the current focus is how do we market our group :) more later....

the web presence of ecreferral.com
the web presence[seo] of ecreferral has everything to do with how many places on the internet point to us as an interesting place.
here's the outline of our web presence.• | our website is for stuff that does not change frequently it has our group's focus, it's members, meeting times and places... in january 2011, our website had 644 visitors. |
• | greater reading entrepreneurs' meetup group is how we cast a wide net for people who are activist enough to search meetup.com. you can "follow us on facebook" from our meetup page, altho i do not think any one of us has actually done that. |
• | our blog is for saying stuff that is interesting today... any member can post their thoughts to the blog. in january 2011, our blog had 73 visitors. |
• | linkedin has it's own agenda, and ecreferral has it's own interest group which has been inactive lately |
• | we do not have a facebook presence altho some of us have tagged us on their personal pages. |
• | we have a few youtube videos. here's an example |
• | our yet-to-be-published newsletter should likely be posted to our blog |
• | some of our individual blogs link back to our website |
our wonderfulness and our ability to attract new members is directly linked to our interestingness. that is to say our ability to say something interesting every day.
our google presence has everything to do with backlinks. that is to say how many other places on the web [think "my blog" or "my website"] mention our link on their webspace.
