Building Your Internet Presence – Important SEO Basics

I have been sitting here feeling the need to write a new post for this Blog for a few weeks now, though I have started nearly twenty new articles. I have yet to finish any of them, so I decided to tell you all why I am pushing out this new, non interesting SEO article.

The initial point of this Blog was to bring more people to the money making parts of the website where we sell a great selection of T-Shirts and other things. One of the most important  free ways  to bring traffic to the website, is to grow it’s size.

Big massive websites are just easier to find than little tiny ones.

Simply by writing this article I create more  text for the search engines to read, as well as more key phrases Google and the other search engines might look for. This causes us to appear more often in the search results, leading to more visitors.

There are lots of other ways to get traffic, but this way is one of the steadiest, and most consistent.

In addition to more search results,  the links at the top of the page which point back to the main part of the website, might send me a little bit of PageRank “link juice”. Which again will help bring visitors to the website.

Well that is enough for now, this will probably get us only a dozen  new visitors per month or something, possibly for the next few years,  but eventually all these small additions add up.

PlanetaryBargains.com  currently reaches over 120 000 people per year and we expect we will be able to double that next year.

I Am Very Disappointed In You

I have been saying for well over a year how great my customers are, I have had some nice e-mails and calls just to say how happy they are. In my many years of dealing with customers I have never such a good group to deal with.

Recently we had a not so good customer though, I know I am not supposed to talk badly about customers, but I want to, so I guess I will.

This guy sent us a e-mail to let us know he had not received his package yet, it was very late, it had been 25 days since we shipped it, and we had paid for the 10 day service.

Since we are aware that United States Postal Service has been really slow at delivering lately, and have also been updating their tracking system on the Internet slowly, I filed in a few forms, made some phone calls, and sent some faxes to find out where this package was. We have never lost a package so we don’t really think it could be completely lost.

Meanwhile this guy keeps e-mailing us, and mentions at one point he does not want to sign for the package when it gets there, he soon starts demanding an immediate refund, and all sorts of other things on almost an hourly basis.

In one of his e-mails he said to me, “I am very disappointed”

I held off on the refund, and waited for the investigation to finish, we are already into this shirt for almost $17 or so with purchasing, packing and shipping.

After a few days I get a phone call that the postal  investigation was finished, and this guy already had his shirt. What a dickhead, not only was he trying to scam us but he bothers to make it personal by saying he is disappointed in us.

So I would just like to say to this loser who tries to steal $20 items on the Internet:

Your the kind of scum we not only don’t want as a customer, but are sad that you even exist on this earth.

We here, are all very disappointed in you!

Yahoo Directory, Is it worth it?

Well about four months ago we were accepted into the Yahoo directory. They changed the title I wanted for the website, though it was not completely butchered.

They also put us in a local directory for Canada for some reason, I guess because I paid from my Canadian bank account. I requested being moved but got no response from them, I would have to say for the $300 US I spent, that was pretty lousy service. I ended up so buried in directories that the page I am on currently has no PageRank showing, and I doubt is Indexed by Google.

On top of that Yahoo actually sends me less traffic than they used to and the traffic coming from the actual directory does not exist. Is it a complete failure? It is too soon to tell, I still have 8 more months to hopefully get noticed by Google and have my PageRank go up.

I am going to link the directory page I am on here right now and hope Google picks up on it.

Really Funny Shirts

A Comment I made was censored by “The Man”

There is a video at the bottom of this post I would say Please watch, it is very important, just scroll down and watch it if you get tired of my rant.

I was on a social bookmarking site, and there was a sponsored add from a major contributor to global warming , telling us that since there was some info withheld by an individual during “climategate” then that means suddenly everything is a  lie etc, you have probably seen the type.

I get really upset that some people for some reason buy into this crap so I had to say something.

This was my reply to them, which was censored and erased, and then I was banned from the site, I will re post it here:

Trying to make the planet, and air more healthy in is the interests of us all.

The only reason people would bother arguing against it is because they fear they will lose money if they try and fix our planet.

Greed is the very reason we are in trouble.

There are so many people that think fixing our environment will hurt them financially including some of the largest businesses in the world, and some of the richest, and sleaziest companies in the world have turned to PR campaigns to try and convince us there is no problem.

I will have to trust in the world leaders and their scientists, not sleazy corporations wiping out rain forests with everything, and everyone in them.

For some reason all the world leaders and their advisers think it is important to meet on such matters, and a lot of misguided people that believe anything they read, reguardless of its source,  think they suddenly know better than the majority.

A few intercepted e-mails which are not published scientific documents, therefore are written by individuals not a community, I believe are being blown out of proportion by scumbag companies for their own means. That probably hacked the e-mails in the first place. Why put that past companies that make hundreds of billions from wiping out hundreds of square kilometers of ancient rainforests per month? Not only all the trees, and animals in it, but also burning anti foresting protesters with flamethrowers from helicopters.

Do you really think they care about you and me?
I am aware that this does not hold very many relevant facts so I will post a few links and you can do your own research if you like.

This Video is about some of the work being done for a solution to the problem, but it also does a good job of showing the problem.

This is a good launching point for some serious research if your interested.

Gorrilaz – Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey’s Head Lyrics

We hear stories like this all the time and we see movies about them and of course songs, but what usually people can’t quite imagine that things like this actually not only happen, but are happening in multiple countries and places in the world right now as we speak.

Money rules this world, and lets face it some people will do anything to get it.

Hope you enjoy the song.

Narrator (speaking)
Once upon a time at the foot of a great mountain,
There was a town where the people known as Happyfolk lived.
Their very existence a mystery to the rest of the world,
Obscured as it was by great clouds.
Here they played out their peaceful lives,
Innocent of the litany of excess and violence,
That was growing in the world below.
To live in harmony with the spirit of the mountain called Monkey was enough.
Then one day, Strangefolk arrived in the town.
They came in camouflaged,
Hidden behind dark glasses,
But no one noticed them; they only saw shadows.
You see, without the truth of the eyes, the Happyfolk were blind.

2D (singing)
Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home
Jump out from behind them, and shoot them in the head
Now everybody dancing the dance of the dead
The dance of the dead.
The dance of the dead.

Narrator (speaking)
In time, the Strangefolk found their way into the higher reaches of the mountain,
And it was there that they found the caves,
Of unimaginable sincerity and beauty.
By chance, they stumbled upon the place where all good souls come to rest.
The Strangefolk, they coveted the jewels in these caves above all things,
And soon they began to mine the mountain,
It’s rich seam fueling the chaos of their own world.
Meanwhile, down in the town, the Happyfolk slept restlessly,
Their dreams invaded by shadowy figures digging away at their souls.
Every day, people would wake and stare at the mountain.
Why was it bringing darkness into their lives?
And as the Strangefolk mined deeper and deeper into the mountain,
Holes began to appear, bringing with them
A cold and bitter wind that chilled the very soul of the Monkey.
For the first time, the Happyfolk felt fearful for,
They knew that soon the Monkey would stir from its deep sleep.
Then there came a sound, distant first, that grew into castrophany so immense it could be heard far away in space (echoes).
There were no screams.
There was no time.
The mountain called Monkey had spoken.
There was only fire.
And then,
Nothing.

2D (singing)
Oh, little town in U.S.A.
The time has come to see
All the things you think you are
But where were you when it all came down on me
Did you call me now?
