What Does Google Think Your Website is About?
July 21, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · 13 Comments
One of the questions I’m often asked by small businesses, especially online businesses is:
Why don’t I get more traffic from google and other search engines?
The answer often has multiple layers, but one of the biggest is having poorly-written, low value content that’s not relevant to your business, product or service. At least, not relevant…”in google’s eyes.” This often leads to the next question, which is:
How do I know if google thinks my website is relevant?
Again, there are many factors to look at, but here are two fast and easy ways to see (a) what google thinks your website is really about, and (b) how relevant/valuable they think your content is.
SEO for Wordpress That Even I can Understand
July 16, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · 2 Comments
I’m a blogger, but truth is, there’s one critical aspect of blogging that I’ve largely punted on, because I just never got exactly how to do it right. You know what I’m talking about.
The dreaded “SEO,” a/k/a Search Engine Optimization.
It’s the stuff of legends, secret tactics that make google want to round home with your blog every time you publish a post. Words, phrases and settings that send you barreling to the top of the first page on google for every keyword you want to be associated with and direct a mad torrent of organic traffic your way. Black hat, white hat, pink hat, bling cat. It’s hugely powerful…but so damn confusing.

Why I Gave the Parking Dude a 50% Tip
July 13, 2009 by Jonathan Fields · 6 Comments
Here’s the thing about New York City…
If you have a car that you park on the street, we’ve got these wacky alternate side the street parking regulations that require you to move your car a few times a week so the street sweepers can come through.
Miss the cutoff time by minutes and you end up with a ticket or a big, fat, 1-foot-square neon yellow window sticker that labels your car a scarlet no-parking violator. And, if you don’t remove it right away, the sunlight bakes it onto the window, making it really tough to get off.
