What should you do if you run into someone, and just can't remember their name? Ideally, you'll just admit it. Say you remember them, but their name has just slipped your mind. They'll gladly refresh your memory. Admitting forgetfulness up front is perhaps the best option - if you have the courage to do it. If you don't, fortunately there are other options.Option 1: Use a third party. If possibl

In a previous ezinearticles.com article,"I Need real visitors, Not Search Spiders" we discussed the need for content. Well written, insightful, informative content will bring your readers/customers in and keep them on your site Long enough to hear about your products or read about the event you are sponsoring. What ever the object of your desire is content holds the key.

In that article the spiders were the object of our desire. My quote "... almost any written content will give you untold opportunities to flood the spiders data bank with keywords and phrases. Not just 10 words or 30 words but hundreds of keywords and phrases." Today I want to discuss the other reasons for fresh content. In a recent article on his How to Blog for Fun & Profit blog, T.L.

TL's article is a must read if you are going to follow any of the sage advise you hear from my big mouth. (I have placed a link in my Bio sig below) He writes from the Blog perspective but his advice is relevant to all content minded websites.

I urge you to take a few minutes and study these points, the success of your website depends on a firm understanding of these basic principles.

On target topic articles with minimal text link ads that educate your viewers or potential customers will serve you well in the long run.
