The only traffic to my website is from people creating external links

#firstworldproblem

So part of my job is to do SEO optimization. It is not my entire job, but it is one of the items in my toolbox that I use on a regular basis. Well, on our family website that I never update, Telford Family dot org, I started to get some comments on a post I did on our camping and outdoors nursery linking to a couple mural websites. Well, it turns out that the post is the number one search term for “camping nursery” on google. Since we had such a high ranking, some SEO expert was out there trying to improve their site’s score by including a link from my thread, or at least real traffic from people viewing the link.

I went in and moderated the comments down, but maybe, for good karma, I should have let them stay. Someone might do the same for one of my clients some day.

One of the many advantages of traveling is the opportunity to try new and different experiences, in this case beer. Yeungling is one of the few breweries to survive the consolidation in the middle of the last century. Not available in Illinois, and only recently in Ohio, they produce a number of Lagers and this Black and Tan mix. Nothing super fancy but not a bad beer.

This beer was very hop heavy but tasty. The first taste was pretty strong and held throughout. A tiny bit of pine on the nose does give it at least a partial reason to be a XMas beer, but it is a bit of a stretch. Still enjoyable and not bad after a busy weekend.

Brooklyn Black Ops does not exist. But if it did, I would have scored a bottle tonight at the “corner” store.

Uno's Pizza Children’s Research Triangle does a great deal of good and they could use your help. If you happen to be downtown on July 7th, why not make it a pizza night? Head over to the Uno’s on 29 East Ohio. Give them this ticket and Uno’s will donate 20% of their profits to Children’s Research Triangle.
