What do these key words, and search engine optimization have in common?

They are great Google, Yahoo, MSN search engine words.

Really?   Yes.

So what does this mean to me and you?   Everything.

Here’s a timely, mostly because it’s funny, video on Googling yourself:

We can all use a laugh. Everyday. Even all day. How could that a bad thing?

And the reality is, if you or your business don’t show up on Google, Yahoo or MSN, you’re sunk.

And that ain’t very funny.

Hard work is the name of the game.   Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Orlando’s jeff noel on SEO – Search Engine Optimization.

Search Engine Marketing, or SEM, is pretty much the same thing, so don’t over look reading about Search Engine Marketing.

Here are a couple easy things I did to learn about, and then execute on, search engine optimization, or SEO.

  1. Google SEO
  2. Google Search Engine Marketing (don’t Google SEM – your Google results for SEM will be poor)
  3. Google Meta Tags
  4. Google Tags
  5. Register a domain name (I recommend Go Daddy)
  6. Practice (there is no substitute for hard work)
  7. Keep it simple – try blogging ( I recommend WordPress)
  8. Use You Tube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and other Social Media Marketing tools
  9. Pray  🙂

Good luck to you.  I wish you success beyond your wildest dreams.

If your goal isn’t impossible, you’re not reaching high enough.

PS.  I’m currently on track to exceed 1,000,000 clicks in a year, by practicing what I’ve preached.

I guarantee that is totally beyond my wildest dreams.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, You Tube, Blogs, SEO……

Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, You Tube, Blogs, SEO……

What does it all mean?

Not sure exactly.

I have pretty decent intuition.  I can see farther out than many can.

What does all of that mean?

Again, not sure really.

But I do know one thing for sure.

I believe that it’s possible for one individual to work hard, follow some common sense guidelines, and reach one million website hits in the course of one year.

A million in a year?

Yep?

How do I know?

Because I’m well on my way to doing it.

There are probably two camps of readers at this moment:

  1. jeff noel sure is egotistical.  What a jerk!  He’s must think he’s special.
  2. jeff noel sure is inspiring.  He’s a nobody, but he’s willing to work very hard to do the impossible.

I hope most of you subscribe to number two.  🙂

Bottomline:  I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I’m not.

We’re all gonna die sometime.  This is the great equalizer and common denominator among all humans.

What is not common is, as Mother Theresa said, “If you can’t do great things, do small things with great love”.

That’s all I’m trying to do?

What are you trying to do?

Hope it’s great.  Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

jeff noel now on Facebook

jeff noel is now on Facebook.

Like yesterday’s post about joining Twitter a few days ago, last night I joined Facebook.

So?

Exactly.

It means nothing to some and to others, it means I’m embracing the future.

The future isn’t going to wait because we aren’t ready.

It’s coming at us like a freight train.

Whether we seize the day or not, the day still comes and goes.

Before we know it, we could be on our death bed.  Seriously.

I don’t live with the fear of dying.

I live with the fear of not fully living.

Carpe diem, jeff noel  🙂

PS.  It’s not even 7:00AM yet, and this is my 5th blog post this morning.  I’m not bragging, nor am I making any excuses, about what I do.  I just do it and if you want to criticise me or cheer for me, the choice is yours

The choice is always ours, isn’t it.  Particularly when it comes to our attitude.

Carpe diem,  jeff noel 🙂

jeff noel is now on Twitter.

Joined Twitter a few days ago.

Took the plunge.

Did you see the cover of this week’s Time Magazine?

The Time Magazine issue I have Twitter on the cover.  Seriously.

Tomorrow, I’ll tell you what I did today – in terms of social networking that is.

Hey, I hope you have a great day.  This is an exciting time we live in.  Carpe diem, jeff noel 🙂
