Well, I did it. Not only did I get the very first issue

of TAG, or Tallent Agency Gazzette out to my 25 subscribers

on Tuesday but I bit the bullet, as they say, and sent out

the first issue of MWT, or Marketing Warrioress Tips on

Wednesday. Rim will still be a Thursday issue, TAG is

planned to be a Tuesday one and MWT will be sporadic until

I get past 11 subscribers and then I imagine it will go

out on Saturdays. Eventually MWT will replace Rim Digest

ezine which has no mention of marketing or me in its name.

 

Feel more than free to sign up for one or the other or both:

mailto:jan@tallentagency.com  for TAG and / or MWT.

 

The first issue of either or both can be sent to you by

sending an email to me at above address with ISSUE in

the subject AND you can sign up FOR MWT right on the site

at http://www.marketingwarrioress.com/

professional undertakings, if you like, here:

Featured Article

 

 

Search Engine Friendly Pages

 

There is no point in building a website unless there are

visitors coming in. A major source of traffic for most

sites is search engines like Google, Yahoo!, MSN, Altavista

and so on. By designing a search engine friendly site,

you will be able to rank easily in search engines and

obtain more visitors.

 

Major search engines use programs called crawlers or robots

to index websites to list on their search result pages.

They follow links to a page, read the content of the page

and record it in their own database, pulling up the listing

as people search for it.

 

To make your site index easily, avoid using frames on your

website. Frames will only confuse search engine robots and

they might even abandon your site because of that. Also,

frames make it difficult for users to bookmark a specific

page on your site without using long, complicated scripts.

 

Do not present important information in Flash movies or in

images. Search engine robots can only read text on your

source code so if you present important words in Flash

movies and images rather than textual form, your search

engine ranking will be affected dramatically.

 

Use meta tags accordingly on each and every page of your

site so that search engine robots know at first glance

what that particular page is about and whether or not to

index it. By using meta tags, you are making the search

engine robot's job easier so they will crawl and index

your site more frequently.

 

Stop using wrong HTML tags like <font> to style your page.

Use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) instead because they are

more effective and efficient. By using CSS, you can

eliminate redundant HTML tags and make your pages

much lighter and faster to load.

Positive Quotes

 

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely

labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and

potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

 

-- Bette Davis (1908-1989) American Actress

 

 

and

 

 

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore

they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation

after generation.

 

-- Pearl S. Buck (1892-1973) American Writer
