One of the funniest damn things I saw in twitter this week came compliments of Scott Allender (@n3bu1a). Thanks for the laugh, Scott!
Scott, by the way, is speaking on social media at the upcoming Market Saint Louis seminar in August. The ticket prices were just dropped to $149 for the all day event, so get yours before they’re all gone! (limited seating)
So I’m a slacker, and I just decided to start looking for Christmas gifts today. I toodled around on Amazon for a while, then zipped over to Overstock and thought I’d check out what they had. I also mentioned it on twitter:
TechLH looking on overstock.com for gifts for the wife. any suggestions?
About 20 minutes later, I get a message from the O:
@TechLH Have you tried our gift finder? http://twurl.nl/ziedz8
Hey cool. I can get ideas and spend money at their site (smart move, Overstock – or so I thought)
So I click over and punch in “for her”, her age and the fact that she’s my wife, and here’s what I get back
So, which should I get her?
I left my house at about 5:50 this morning, and before I got out of the subdivision, I was sitting behind the flashing lights of a police car.
The officer finally walked up to the truck and I asked him what was up. He asked where I was going, where I lived (umm, right around the corner where you just saw me leave from). Asked for my license and then gave me some BS about ‘looking for a white Dodge pickup in the area’. Yeah, ok.
There just happened to be one in the driveway across from where he pulled me over, so I pointed to it and said “there ya go”. He smiled, gave me back my license and said have a nice day.
Not sure what that was all really about, but whatever.
So here’s something interesting. I recently did a search for ‘St Louis SEO‘ on Google. For the first time I noticed that there are some PPC results on the page, and perhaps they always were.
What concerns me is ‘St Louis SEO’ isn’t really a very competitive term. This isn’t exactly a hotbed for SEO services. So why would an SEO company use PPC instead of just rank for something that is what they do?
I can hear the phone conversation with some of these companies..
“Do you rank for the services you provide?”
“Yes, look on the righthand side of the page – we are near the top”
