This left me with a few things changed. I went to edit a file I keep on my desktop with links to important places I like to visit frequently, and it opened up in FrontPage instead of my normal editor.

Site Redesign Can Ruin Your Day
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Or a much longer period of time …
I have a client who has enjoyed years of very good listings. Almost every single keyword imaginable that would be relevant to their site ranked well. They had tons of listings, and they had good traffic and conversions.

Link Popularity Checker
Friday, August 15th, 2008Here is something I want to mention while it is fresh on my mind.

It’s called Link Popularity Checker.
It works very well … it goes to the major engines and checks on links back to your site.
It provides the numbers in a nice list that you can paste into a spreadsheet to keep track of progress.

Article Marketing
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008Article Marketing has become a really great way to get some inbound links. Like any other though, I expect the value to wane after a while as the masses begin to spam this very valuable resource.
It amounts to writing something about your subject and adding an authors bio box at the end of the article. [...]
SEO or SEM
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008Whenever a discussion of SEO ensues, you’ll wind up with a discussion of SEM as well. One enhances the other, and at time, it’s hard to see the fine line that really exists between the two marketing efforts.
When you get to the point of having all of the standard SEO efforts done on your site, [...]
