When search engines like Google or Yahoo! send their spiders out scouring the Internet to find sites to recommend to users, they use both the tags and content on your site to rank you. Your site tags are the background information in your code including title, headline, body, alt and meta tags.
To help your ranking, be sure your tags use the same phrases as are found in the content on each corresponding web page. If the search engine spiders see the same keywords and phrases in both places, it can improve your ranking.
So when you or your web developer is writing for your site, keep this in mind. Start by identifying and highlighting key words and phrases and then build your content and tags around it. You’ll be sure to have them in both places and the search engine spiders will be happy to crawl your site.

Thanks, Tracey for sending us a chuckle: A buccaneer walks into a night club establishment with a paper towel on his head. The buccaneer says, “What’s with the paper towel?” The buccaneer says, “Arrr! I’ve got a Bounty on me head!”

I just returned from a follow up appointment at my dentist, whom I’ve only known for a few weeks. As I drove back home, I was thinking to myself, I’m really happy I found her practice.
Anyone who knows me can tell you I have dental-phobia. (I haven’t needed to take the valium a previous dentist prescribed for me to take
before each visit to calm me down.) So, I was trying to figure out why I felt so comfortable and didn’t need a day and a half of “recovery time.” I realized it was because from the moment I walked in two weeks ago in pain to today at a simple follow up they treated me like a friend, like a part of a family – not just another patient.
Of course that got me thinking about our clients and, how they feel after speaking or leaving a meeting with us?
Honey catches flies … and keeps them happy! I’ll be sure to put my jar out on the front desk.
