For this fifth search engine optimization tip, I thought I would talk about linking to your home page. Your web site’s home page is the most important page on your web site.

http://www.domain.com/ is your home page, not http://www.domain.com/index.html or http://www.domain.com/default.asp. As far as I am concerned, there is no logical reason to ever link to [...]

For this fourth search engine optimization tip, I thought I would talk about the meta keywords tag. Depending on who you talk to, some SEOs will tell you to use the meta keywords tag and some will tell you not to use the meta keywords tag. I personally still like to use add it to web pages. Here’s why:The meta keywords tag is still an acceptable, real meta tag. The meta keywords tag can be helpful in cases where pages are very light on content. By adding a meta keywords tag you have the opportunity to add additional content to the page and add related keywords. A Google engineer recently has told me that “they index everything on the page”, and I took that as meaning just that: they index all the content [...]

- 2008Jul22Try something new for dinner tonight
Normally I wouldn’t write about a restaurant just like this, but after this past Saturday’s dining experience, I simply must. The restaurant in question is called “A La Plancha” and located in Garland, TX. The cuisine is Central American and i have to say it was some of the best food I’ve had in a long time. Owner, Daname Lucas (also a Nicaraguan native), is also the chef and is assisted by her family who help cook and wait tables.
