I remember growing up in the country where people had home based businesses and sold firearms to hunters. I’d wondered why I was seeing fewer of these work at home businesses. Federal bureaucracy.

According to this Bloomberg article, the costs of doing business in Alabama are 3% lower than doing business in China! Evidently it’s not just sleeping bags… it affects a wide variety of products and services as [...]

Blog Action Day is today. Bloggers are supposed to blog about poverty in the world to call attention to the problem. So I’ve decided to join the fun and highlight the issue of poverty and approaching its solution in light of the Copenhagen Consensus. Basically one of the greatest impediments to alleviate poverty is government [...]

Peterson foundation [...]

Single Term Keywords vs. “Long Tail Keywords”… which should you go after? Jonathan Leger makes the case that multiple term keywords help you identify what your prospect is seeking and how to serve a particular marketplace.
