The Day Dean Potter Gave Me His Toilet Paper. But Just One Sheet?
I had seen Dean Potter in the mags and on videos and he seemed like a true ancient spirit. I loved the whole thing he had about being the bird and how different he was from all the other climbers. I thought he was great, still do. He was obviously hot property here for he stood ridiculously tall in the center of a small group arranged around him protectively. He was like a big scruffy lighthouse with wave upon wave of hangers-on breaking onto his rocks. We were psyched.
This article first appeared a decade ago in Rock and Ice No. 196, September, 2011. At the time, Dean Potter was one of climbing's most influential figures, making bold solos, establishing difficult high-ball boulder problems, and speed climbing, including a record ascent of The Nose on El Capitan. Potter thought out of the box and was also a pioneer in highlining and BASE jumping—he'd at times free solo with a parachute on his back—which evolved to wingsuit flying, where he, as usual, excelled. Rock and Ice had a feature interview scheduled with Potter for the fall of 2015, the article to appear in a spring edition. That interview never happened. Potter died in a wingsuit accident attempting, with Graham Hunt, a proximity wingsuit flight off Taft Point in Yosemite in May, 2015. This article is republished as a tribute to one of climbing's all-time greats.
Did I tell you about the time I hung from the lip of the overhang, pumped, looking down at the strewn blocks far below, calmly waiting for death to take me into its bosom? Can't be bothered. Or the time I was marched away at the point of a Kalashinikov in the remote Central Asian uplands by "soldiers" wearing Adidas shoes and "Enjoy Coca-Cola" T-shirts? Why bother. You'll have heard one just like it, I'm sure. Or the time I was liebacking the 30-ton obelisk of granite on that forgotten island off Greenland and the entire thing started coming toward me. Oh, not that one again.
The big stories are often too big. Bloated carcasses of derring-do pumped full of the gas of bravado, lifeless in the putrid water. The pressure of intestinal gasses farting out the same yarns time and time again.
"And then I … And then I …"
Let's face it, if you've climbed long enough to have gone through your first block of chalk then you've heard all these stories and you'll know how they work out. They're too fat to have any truth or magic left in them. They are dead behind the eyes. Good night.
But the little stories, they are a different matter. Stories that at the time you hardly noticed but years later you reflect on, seeing small signs in them that pointed in the most curious directions. That gave you insights into other people, other ways, that perhaps might shine a light into your own life.
Kevin was the perfect partner inasmuch as he was desperate enough to climb with just about anyone, as was I. I had been set adrift in Zion. Chance in a million, the coffee-shop owner replied to my inquiry that there had indeed been someone hanging around who was looking for a partner. Kevin appeared some time later and, his cut-off denim shorts notwithstanding, I asked if he would want to form a rope. He did. Result.
Through Touchstone Wall, Iron Messiah and Moonlight Buttress (with a rope, and aided, just so you can rank us in the grand scheme of things and relax into the story), we became friendly, and in the end I joined Kevin and his pickup truck to go on the road. Weeks of fantastic sandstone followed. From Zion we headed toward the Canyonlands, Fisher Towers and Indian Creek. I can't recall the details of what we did but there was definitely something involving a parallel-sided crack. The town of Moab was the center of our travels. Sometimes we treated ourselves to a night in a hostel, and frequently we punished ourselves with one-dollar hamburgers from McDonald's.
Sometimes on slack mornings Kevin and I would make our way to a particular coffee shop on the south side of town that was the hangout for the local climbing scene. At least that's how it appeared. It may just have been a congregation of badly dressed men without jobs who owned trucks, but every now and again a rope would appear from the back of a vehicle or a crux would be mimed. We went there neither for the coffee nor to rendezvous, more just to be there. For despite the fact that Kevin and I enjoyed each other's company, something about the wide desert left us, both social and chatty types, with a hankering for more conversation every now and again.

We seldom found it. We would arrive at the coffee shop just as trucks were leaving, irrespective of what time we actually got there. If we coincided with some of the climber-style people, we failed to join great interactions. We often sat consciously on a table slightly within their personal space and tried to make eye contact. We were generally ignored. Not that I blamed them, however. Kevin was still in his denim shorts and I had a very tourist tan, my white Celtic skin reddened on one side of my head and my big sunburned nose peeling. In my desperate need to shade my skull from the sun I had taken to wearing one of those hats that pedophiles wear. We both wore office-worker-style glasses. I wouldn't have spoken to us either.
One morning we must have mistimed it completely because the parking lot was filled with people, girls included. We found a spot, parked and tried to mingle. I joined the queue while Kevin went to the bathroom and I came out with two coffees. Kevin appeared from within, took his coffee and we both relaxed in the shade of the shop to observe the crowd.
"Shit me!" Kevin said, springing out of his slouch into an upright alertness. "It's Dean Potter."
A truck that had been in front of us moved off and there, revealed, was indeed Dean Potter. One of the jokes Kevin and I shared was pretending that we were into spotting climbing celebs, and we would make up over-the-top stories of what we would do to meet them. Classically, it was funny because it was true. I did indeed know who was who in the climbing world and the vast collection of climbing mags that Kevin toted around in his truck identified him as a true train spotter.
I had seen Dean Potter in the mags and on videos and he seemed like a true ancient spirit. I loved the whole thing he had about being the bird and how different he was from all the other climbers. I thought he was great, still do. He was obviously hot property here for he stood ridiculously tall in the center of a small group arranged around him protectively. He was like a big scruffy lighthouse with wave upon wave of hangers-on breaking onto his rocks. We were psyched.
We waited around for some time, conspiring strategies for approaching him, all the while drinking more and more coffee in our rising excitement. Eventually the backed-up caffeine imploded onto my intestines and I excused myself to go to the bathroom. After a rapid evacuation, I was on the brink of leaving the cubicle when I heard the main door of the bathroom open. I don't like meeting people in that space so I sat down again momentarily to allow him to himself but the door to the cubicle beside me opened and the person came in. I looked down and in the gap under the partition I could see an enormous left foot: bare, tanned and streaked with street dirt. I recognized it. It was Dean Potter's foot. Dean was in the cubicle beside me.

Was this my chance? Should I wait till he was finished and deliberately open the door at the same time, and swan into a fulfilling conversation about the desert towers I had already done? No, this space was no place for conversation. Perhaps I could just speak to him from here, call under the partition and ask him about BASE jumping or slacklining, or whether he had ever climbed in Britain. What could I ask him in this situation that would be appropriate?
"Excuse me," I called out. "May I have some toilet paper, please?"
I stuck my hand under the gap and waved my fingers around like a nude glove puppet. I heard a grunt, a turn of a roll dispenser, and something was pressed into my hand. I pulled it back and there in my grasp was a sheet of soft white paper. I had spoken to Dean Potter. I panicked now, reflushed the toilet, exited the cubicle and quickly left the room, leaving Dean famous and alone. I ran into the light.
"Kevin, Kevin, I spoke to Dean. I spoke to him and he gave me this."
I waved the sheet like a flag of surrender.
"He gave you that—Dean did?"
"Yes, he was in the cubicle beside me and I asked him for it, and he passed it to me."
"Is he still there?"
"Yes. Go and get yourself a sheet."
Kevin had turned toward the entrance when Dean burst out of the building, veered sharply right, got straight into a truck and drove off. Another truck followed. In no time the crowd that had hummed in the parking lot seemed to evaporate, and we were left, as usual, alone.
We went climbing again that day and in the days that followed, and I think it took Kevin a day or two to get over his jealousy of me, especially as I continued to describe being within Dean's aura and how sublime that had been.
"I can't describe it, Kevin. Only those who have been there would understand."
The sheet of toilet paper itself got lodged onto the dashboard, one corner under an air vent. It became the subject of some discussion and we were curious if it had been imbued with some of the aura, soaking it up like acid onto blotting paper. A concentrated super-hit of Dean-ness.
In my Catholic past my mother would sometimes produce little medals from religious-holiday destinations. These had small glassy centers and set in the glass were squares of frayed cotton. I was told they were cuttings from the cloak of Saint Anthony or from Saint Christopher's trousers. A piece of wood maybe, chipped from the One True Cross. She would wear the medals and make me kiss the glassy bits on Sundays or other feasts. They were called relics, although I'm pretty sure she got the joke.
Dean Potter relics. There could be a profit in that. I suggested we chop the paper up into 200 pieces, set it in resin and sell it in Moab at $20 a hit to Potter Pilgrims. Four grand, I said to Kevin. Four grand.
But ultimately, like most failed businessmen, we never got round to it. Our time together was nearing an end and we had lined up Primrose Dihedral as our last climb. The big one. Kevin drove his truck down the roughshod trail late one desert afternoon and we camped that night under the mighty totem of Moses. That morning we looked at each other and knew what we must do.
I went to the dashboard, freed and halved the sheet, handed Kevin one of the magical gossamers and took the other myself. We both went off behind our respective rocks and with my eyes on the summit I carried out my ritual, and wiped. I then took a lighter from my pocket and, holding the relic by a corner, set fire to it. A small blackened ghost left the earth in the desert wind.
The climb. Intense. We both struggled on the first three pitches. I felt awkward and lacked commitment but on the fourth pitch I started coming up. A new flow came over us both whereupon corners, cracks and walls went flapping by no harder than feathers. Such things as belays seemed tiresome chores. We summited and looked out, or in, at the world and its great forces, at the patterns in the cosmos.
Magically, a black bird appeared and circled the tower. In its caw I heard the fabric of everything and understood where we fit.
"The air," the bird said. "Not only mine. Yours, too. Come."
Perhaps. Mundanely, we rappelled Pale Fire back to the red ground.
I have lost touch with Kevin and hope he's doing well, but still there was one part of the episode we didn't touch upon at the time but on which I often find myself reflecting today. It remains the true fascinating jewel in the whole thing and through it I fancy I see into another life. It is this:
When I asked Dean to pass me some toilet paper he passed me one sheet. One single sheet no more than five inches by five. I think that's fascinating. What did he think I could do with one sheet of toilet paper in that situation? Is that all he needs? Or did he have me figured as a goon and was tossing the gag back at me? Did the bird tell him? Was he actually telling me I shouldn't waste so much and this one square would suffice? A metaphor? Did he think I was wasting my life? Am I still wasting it?
Am I?

Viking vdr5304bpglp
In the 70's Fred Carl Jr., a fourth generation building contractor was building kitchens for his clients and saw many of them used commercial ranges in their home. When it was time for him to build his own kitchen, he realized the commercial ranges that were offered were not well suited for the home. His wife wanted a classic looking range like the old Chambers, her mother used to use. His solution was to create a hybrid range that would combine the look and styling of commercial ranges and yet have the safety features and sizes home consumers desired.
Consistency in both performance and design should be a major consideration when building or remodeling a home. With the complete Viking indoor or outdoor kitchen, every single product works together in form and function with the same level of excellence. It's something Viking calls Design Integrity.
Viking offers complete ultra-premium kitchens and truly consistent design, while delivering the quality and performance that make Viking the true market leader. Across all product categories, the knobs, handles, bezels, curves, angles, and lines all follow the same design cues â even the grain of stainless is the same from product to product. This enables the designer to create a perfectly harmonious kitchen in one of three Viking product offerings â Professional Indoor, D3 Indoor, or Professional Outdoor.
You wouldn't install mismatched cabinets and drawers or countertops. Yet design differences are even more dramatic between multiple appliance manufacturers. Traditional or contemporary. Stainless or color finish. No matter the look you're going for, no one can match the Viking kitchen and Viking Design Integrity.

Google clearly wants to change every aspect of our lives, from cars that drive themselves, to glasses that superimpose data on our vision, to its most recent effort, shoes that talk to you. Yes, at South By Southwest, Google announced talking high-topped sneakers that react to your activity – or lack thereof – by providing snarky vocal feedback. Like, "I love the feel of wind in my laces" when you're pounding pavement, and "This is boring" when you're not. Because, you know, what we've been missing in life are shoes that talk. After all, it's important to know what our feet are thinking.
Of course, it isn't our feet talking, so much as Google interpreting what our feet would say, because who knows more about feet than Google? To be fair, they did team up with Adidas, which does know something about feet, and there are no plans to bring these shoes to market, but I'm still not sure this is a great idea.
Becoming a Google cyborg
A cyborg is a blend of man and machine, which appears to be the goal that Google aspires to. Once you don Google Glass and Google shoes, you are well down the path of being an integrated part of Google's mobile solution. Google can – conceivably anyway – track every step you take, see everything you see, and likely hear everything you hear (you have an Android Phone right?). Google will know everything, and I mean everything, about you while you sport your Google fashions.
Google could provide that information to the government, your church, or your mom for a price, should they want. And more than merely reporting, Google could start to direct your actions. Incentives or even subliminal prompts could direct you to walk or drive anyplace Google wants you to go, and do what it wants you to do there.
The phrase "You will be assimilated" originated with the Borg, a race of hive-minded cyborgs from Star Trek. A decade ago, we joked that Microsoft would be the company to translate this dystopian sci-fi concept to reality, but now it looks like Google is already well down the path to getting it done.
Fun with Google Shoes
Google Shoes are connected devices. Since Google doesn't have the best history when it comes to security, I figure it wouldn't take much for someone to hack into them and provide their own unique dialog at the wearer's expense.
Let's say you are out to a dance, say prom, and your buddies reprogram your shoes. Suddenly you are having a romantic moment in your first slow dance of the evening, and your shoes pipe in with, "Bad luck dude, she is wearing underwear, guess you aren't getting lucky tonight!"
Or "Hey, I've got a great idea for a post-dance gift for your date! A razor, 'cause it is a jungle down here!"
Or you are sitting in class and your shoes just randomly shout out "Those that can't do teach, dumbass."
There goes your chance at Harvard.
Or in church, "Hey the minister's wife is hot, do you think he'd mind if we hit that?"
There are just so many ways talking shoes could go very wrong.
Wrapping up and recalling cars of the 70s
This kind of reminds me a bit of cars of the 70s – not a good decade for them thanks to two things: smog controls and talking. New emissions controls left the muscle cars of the 60s gutless (supercars that got over 180 horsepower were rare) and some idiot got the idea that we wanted voices instead of gauges. So you'd get a voice telling you you'd left your door open, your headlight on, or that your car was overheating. It was so annoying most folks performed a "manual delete" on these features with a pair of wire cutters.
Cars, and shoes, should definitely be seen and not heard. Just because you can do something, like making a car talk, doesn't mean you should do it.
In the end, talking clothing is just a bad idea. What if this spread? You could end up with:
Shoes: "Damn I I'm tired, do you think you might want to get off me for a moment?"
Belt: "Stop complaining, this guy has me set at 38 and he is more like a 42, I'm about to explode."
Hat: "You think you've got it bad! His pin head is trying to poke out the top."
Underwear: "Stop complaining! Do you have any idea what it smells like down here?"
Date: "Ah, you can let me out here, I'll be fine walking home."
Yep, talking clothing. I'll pass.

Two steps forward, one step back. That seems to be an emerging trend for Microsoft's upcoming Windows Phone 7 Series platform. The snazzy user interface, support for the XNA Framework/Silverlight/Adobe Flash 10.1, Windows Phone Marketplace, and plentiful device manufacturers to choose from are certainly pleasing to potential buyers. However, we're starting to learn a little bit more about the platform at MIX10 and it isn't all rosy.
Yesterday, we learned that Windows Phone 7 Series will not support true multitasking. Instead, the mobile operating system will support a push notification called Microsoft Notification Service (MNS). The MNS works almost exactly like the push notification system currently enabled on Apple's iPhone.
"How do you trade-off battery life at the same time? As soon as you allow arbitrary apps to do things in the background, it can run out the battery pretty quickly," said Microsoft's Scott Guthrie at a MIX10 roundtable according to Gizmodo.
Interestingly enough, Windows Mobile 6.x supports multitasking so it's a notable backwards move for the platform.
In another blow to power users -- and another feature that is present on current Windows Mobile smartphones -- is the news that copy and paste won't be supported initially at launch according to Engadget. Apple was lambasted for the lack of copy and paste on the iPhone and it wasn't until iPhone OS 3.0 that the feature was added to the smartphone. It's almost inconceivable that Microsoft would choose to show up late to the party (Q4 2010) without some semblance of copy and paste for its flagship mobile OS.
Microsoft hasn't ruled out that copy and paste may appear in later iterations of Windows Phone 7 Series operating system, but don't hold your breath expecting to see it in time for the Holiday '10 season.

YUCATAN – Mayan scholars have updated their doomsday prophecy. The world will end in 2015, not 2012.Oops…. They made a mistake. There's good news for those who were fearing the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. They counted wrong. The world is not going to end in December 2012. Instead, it's going to end on September 3, 2015. Update your daily planners!
A new critique, published as a chapter in the new textbook "Calendars and Years: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World" argues that the accepted conversions of dates from Mayan to the modern calendar are off. This coupled with a new book, "We Are All Going To Die In 2015" by Fritz Barnkopf are rewriting the Mayan doomsday playbook that has been popularized in our culture over the last ten years.
The problem was discovered when researchers realized the Mayan calendar was converted to today's Gregorian calendar using an erroneous calculation called the GMT constant, named for the last initials of three early Mayanist researchers.
But the GMT constant is completely bogus. "The Mayan researchers of the past twenty years put too much stock in the GMT," said Mayan expert Robert Wannamaker. "They probably were chewing on too many cocoa leaves. The fact is that the GMT constant is 2 years and 271 days off. We've proven that conclusively hear at The Scripps Institute."
The apocalypse is now delayed. This is a stunning blow to all the merchandisers that were seeking to capitalize on the "end-of-world" prophecy BEFORE the world ends. "Man, I was selling all sorts of 2012 doomsday paraphernalia. Now, I gotta go back and make it all again for 2015. It's a real drag," said 2012 fanatic, Judd Barkley.
Hollywood is jumping right on the 2015 bandwagon. Producers are lining up to make the 2012 sequel, 2015. "It's great for us," said Producer Tracey Barnham. "I hope that they extended it again in a few years, so we can keep this franchise going."
Not likely. Mayan researchers are unanimous on the end-of-world data. The world will disappear in 2015. You might want to plan accordingly.
Bad news: we're all going to die. Good news: We got three more years! Woo-hoo!!!

Our Small Business SEO clients enjoy a dominating organic search engine presence and rank in top 10 results for all their important keywords.
How? It's our extensive research on Search Engine patents assigned to Google and years of experience. Our in-depth knowledge helps us in designing best Small Business SEO strategies, a key to great search engine presence, which is then executed in a 100% Google friendly manner.
We augment the process of natural link building by creating high-class content and promoting it through a vast array of online networks. We have an expert team of top-notch web content writers and the best online marketing specialists.
Have you evaluated the strength of your online presence? Can clients find you using common keywords related to your business?
With SEO you can generate more sales, increase awareness of your products or services, and build consumer trust. SEO helps in branding & marketing of your business. A small business owner faces many challenges, such as less employees, low capitalization and competition - especially from industry big wheels. Finding new customers and reaching new markets is very tough for small businesses.
We are a leading SEO company specializing in SEO services for small businesses. We offer highly effective yet affordable SEO Packages for small businesses.
A good Small Business SEO strategy and consistent efforts are what it takes to rank in top 10 Google results for important keywords. While precise SEO strategy varies from website to website, the primary elements remain the same.
For example, a website targeting local users requires a different content and back-link strategy than an e-commerce or a corporate or a small business website. However the common elements would remain the same, "they will all require quality backlinks and content". Keyword competition of target keywords can also vary dramatically which too requires fine tuning in the SEO strategy. Below are the main elements of our SEO strategy:
Keywords are the words or phrases which a search engine user uses to find information they are looking for. The process of selecting a handful of target keywords is called Keyword Analysis. Evaluating which keywords are right for your website and how they can maximize your ROI is the basic essence of all our SEO campaigns. As keywords drive the whole SEO campaign, they have to be perfect. It is also the first step in our SEO strategy. There also comes a point when we achieve the desired rankings, at which point our SEO team upgrades the keyword strategy and replaces old keywords with new ones. This is important because any SEO strategy revolves around keywords and we have to upgrade it as and when we achieve our targets.
The first step in keyword research is to enumerate a list of possible keywords based on information about the website and the target market. Then using tools such as Google's Keyword Planner we find thousands of closely related keywords. The next step is to thoroughly evaluate the keywords based on various parameters and select the best keywords. The two main parameters we evaluate are Keyword Relevance and Keyword Competition.
Keyword Relevance is very important as a slight change in the intent of a keyword can drastically change the nature of visitors coming to your site, therefore relevance plays a key role in determining whether that keyword is a perfect match for a website or not. To find the best match keywords we have to dig very deep into the goods, services and the target market that a client wants to target. This brings us to the next aspect i.e. Keyword Competition. While on one hand targeting keywords with low search volume would be less fruitful, on the other hand targeting only the highly competitive keywords at the beginning of a campaign can lead to low ROI as well. We have to calculate and find the right SEO goals and with this in mind we keep a mix of long tail keywords (which have comparatively lower competition) and short tail keywords (which generally have high search volume). Selecting the right keywords can bring in quick results and thus a higher ROI.
Unlike PPC in Search Engine Optimization we have to be very careful when selecting the keywords that we target. As such everything, right from content optimization to back link creation are created keeping these keywords in mind. All the SEO work is done for a selected handful of keywords. We need a very good strategy and have to think from the point of view of a search engine user. Will the search engine user find what he is looking for and will he or she be interested in reading your web page? What is the relevance factor of the webpage content to the target keywords for that page? These are some common questions which we answer before finalizing a keyword.
According to Google, for a typical query, there are thousands, even millions, of web pages with potentially relevant information. As search engine users we just want the right pages with great content and not any irrelevant results. Google too wants to serve useful and relevant results, not billions of web pages. So to make the best pages rank first, Google uses complicated algorithms to evaluate how useful these web pages are. It is this "usefulness" that we as SEO experts optimize on the target pages of your website. The more useful a page, the better chances that it will rank higher on Google.
Another very important, but related factor which Google evaluates is the value of content throughout your website. Google is more likely to trust a website with regularly updated high quality content. Therefore depending on the keyword competition, a good content strategy requires creating many more pages of related content throughout your website. At SEO Web Up we follow a content oriented approach to SEO. Our specialized team of content writers will regularly create great content for your website. We also ensure that the content created is high quality & original so that Google regards your website as a much more authoritative source of information than other competing websites.
Google is always on the lookout for sites with high quality original content that has research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on. Quality content outside of target pages is also a great source of good backlinks. Such content could be on the same website in the form of blogs or on other websites in the form of articles, press releases and so on. All our SEO Packages already include extensive content development activities on large scale. The number of monthly content pieces we develop will vary from package to package.
When we create content for our clients we keep a lot of things in mind. We always create "cornerstone content" which is evergreen, original and highly informative, something that other websites would love to link to. To assess the "quality" of a page or an article we answer some key questions about that article/page. These are the kinds of questions that even Google's expert engineers ask themselves as they write algorithms that attempt to assess site quality.
These include questions like: 1) Would you trust the information presented in this article? 2) Is this article written by an expert or enthusiast who knows the topic well, or is it more shallow in nature? 3) Does this article have spelling, stylistic, or factual errors? 4) Does the article provide original content or information, original reporting, original research, or original analysis? 5) Does the page provide substantial value when compared to other pages in search results? 6) How much quality control is done on content? 7) Was the article edited well, or does it appear sloppy or hastily produced? 8) Are the pages produced with great care and attention to detail vs. less attention to detail 9) Does this article contain insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond obvious? 10) Does this article provide a complete or comprehensive description of the topic?
Needless to say that backlinks are one of the most important ranking factor. Google knows that the net result of making a great site is often greater awareness of that site on the web, which can translate into more people linking to that site. We only create high-grade backlinks for our clients using decades of SEO experience and specialized knowledge of patented Google algorithms specifically related to Link analysis & Link scoring.
Backlinks are a very important aspect of SEO. Google wants to serve authoritative web pages to its users and back links are one of the most important factor that helps build your website's authority. Good back-links will help you get ranked and without back-links, it is hard to rank for even the simplest keywords. Another reason why back-links are so dear to search engines, is that bots such as Googlebot finds new web pages with the help of back-links. So the more you are linked the better chances your web page will be found naturally by Googlebot. The bottom line, if you want to rank high you need to acquire quality back links for your website.
Please remember, any links intended to manipulate PageRank or a site's ranking in Google search results may be considered part of a link scheme and a violation of Google's Webmaster Guidelines. This includes any behavior that manipulates links to your site or outgoing links from your site. Additionally, creating links that weren't editorially placed or vouched for by the site's owner on a page, otherwise known as unnatural links, can be considered a violation of Google's guidelines too. "The best way to get other sites to create high-quality, relevant links to yours is to create unique, relevant content that can naturally gain popularity in the Internet community. Creating good content pays off: Links are usually editorial votes given by choice, and the more useful content you have, the greater the chances someone else will find that content valuable to their readers and link to it."
Competitor analysis is the process of analyzing your competitors and the SEO strategies used by your key competitors. It also involves determining which keywords your competitors are ranking for and then reverse engineering to find out the missing SEO aspects from your website. When doing a competitor analysis for clients, we analyze various aspects of the websites featured on the first page of Google SERPs. These include SEO factors like, Link Profile Strength, Web page & overall quality of their Website Content, Keyword Density, On Page Optimization, Structured data markup, User Experience, Mobile Friendliness, Website Page Speed analysis, Social Media strength, and Internal Linking.
SEO is mix of various online marketing activities, and depending on the keyword competition and the current search engine value of a website, we have to carve out a path that will lead to your sureshot search engine success. As such Competitor Analysis starts during Keyword Analysis. Before finalizing the keywords we have to figure out what is working in favor of the top ranking websites. We have to be 100% sure that we are not chasing keywords that won't provide a high ROI. The keywords we should target should drive both visitors & conversions, and help achieve your online marketing goals within an appropriate time period.
When we optimize a website we build a unique social media strategy and create posts across a wide variety of social media channels. This helps in keeping your followers engaged, building up your Web 2.0 presence and augmenting the process of Natural Link Building. As Social Media channels such as Facebook can be easily gamed, hence they are not regarded as a direct ranking signal. However their importance shouldn't be underestimated.
There are various reasons why we use Social Media Optimization (SMO) as part of our SEO services. First, as social media websites are all about connecting with other people they have huge potential for quality back links, second, social media sites are great place to share high quality useful content, third, social media sites can be very useful when it comes to creating or promoting a brand, fourth, with billions of users channels such as Facebook and Youtube can help quickly build a very huge audience, fifth, social media links are also back links, so at the end of the day when you are seriously promoting your content on social media channels, you are in itself creating links for you website.
Google has gotten smarter at distinguishing between profiles with genuine and fake followers. This is why we often see social media pages with genuine likes and followers rank high in Google and web sites with a strong social media presence also have a better scope at ranking higher.
A sitemap is a file where you can list the pages, videos, and other files on your site, and the relationships between them. It helps in informing Google and other search engines about the organization of your site's content. Search engine web crawlers like Googlebot also read this file to more intelligently crawl your site. Your sitemap can provide valuable metadata associated with the pages you list in that sitemap: Metadata is information about a webpage, such as when the page was last updated, how often the page is changed, and the importance of the page relative to other URLs in the site. In addition if website pages don't have any backlinks and do not naturally reference each other, we can list them in a sitemap to ensure that Google & other major search engines do not overlook some of these pages.
While relevant backlinks are certainly important, it is only because of their connection to the on-page SEO factors that search engines are able to create a strong relation between target page and the backlinks. On page SEO is the process of optimizing the on-page factors of a target page. It is one of the most powerful weapons in our arsenal and we use it extensively as part of our SEO strategy. When used well on page SEO becomes a true game winner. So what are these on-page SEO factors? These include various on-page SEO elements such as the Title Tag, URLs, Heading tags, Image and Video relevance, Info graphics, Keyword density, Keyword occurrence, Keyword prominence, Outbound links, Latent Symantic Index, Keyword synonyms, Image optimization, Length & quality of content, originality of content, Geo targeting information, Page update frequency, Word clustering, Meta tags, Important HTML tags related to the semantics of your web page (such as em & strong), breadcrumbs, and, additional markup such as Schema and Rich snippets. When we optimize a website we optimize each and every on-page element for all the target pages. In fact in the first month itself we will complete all these on-page SEO activities. Search engines such as Google thoroughly evaluate the on-page SEO factors and maintains an index filled with key data structures that emphasizes on the on-page relevance factors.
Internal links are links pointing to other pages within your website. There are many benefits of using Internal Links. First and foremost internal links are great for user experience. As website users can easily jump to more relevant content using these links, they become a great source to grip your site visitors. This is an important SEO strategy used by Wikipedia. Second, internal links pass on link juice across all your internally linked pages. Third, as we have full control over our internal links they become a great source to build up the relevancy quotient for pages that other sites might not link to naturally. Fourth, internally linked pages can be found by Googlebot and are thus easily crawled and indexed by Google. When done right Internal Links transform into a very powerful SEO tactic that has huge benefits.
User Experience (UX) refers to the quality of experience your website users have when visiting your website. When ranking a website Google takes into consideration it's UX as well. Therefore in addition to helping users take necessary action in order to achieve your business goals, your website should also be optimized for multi-device layout, page speed, the colors, images, content, forms, and other aspects that play a major role in achieving a good user experience. Our UX team evaluates eight main aspects of the target pages of your website, which includes Content structure and layout, Ease of Usability, Information Architecture, User Interface Design, Interaction Design, Visual Design, Content quality and Accessibility. A good rule of thumb is to evaluate if your website visitors can easily find whatever they are looking for.
Page speed is an important ranking signal. This means that if all other factors remain the same, a website could perform better or worse in Google Search just depending on it's page speed. We use the best tools to measure and optimize page speed of all the target pages.
Google has been emphasizing on Page Speed since 2009. It had mentioned several times across their Webmaster blog posts about their own research on page speed and indicated just how much obsessed Google is with your website speed. Here is an excerpt from one of their blog posts "Speeding up websites is important — not just to site owners, but to all Internet users. Faster sites create happy users and we've seen in our internal studies that when a site responds slowly, visitors spend less time there. But faster sites don't just improve user experience; recent data shows that improving site speed also reduces operating costs. Like us, our users place a lot of value in speed — that's why we've decided to take site speed into account in our search rankings. We use a variety of sources to determine the speed of a site relative to other sites."
The ease of using Mobile Search has led to a mobile search revolution. To the extent that people use Mobile search more often than desktop search. This trend had picked up long before, as a result of which, Google began rolling its global mobile friendly update back on 21st April, 2015, thereby improving the rankings of mobile-friendly pages in mobile search results.
According to Google "Mobile is critical to your business and will continue to be so". Often users have to pinch and zoom in order to read content on a web page. Common mobile user experience issues include, Touch elements being too close, Small font size, Wrong view port settings, Blocked JavaScript, CSS and Image Files, Unplayable Content, Faulty Redirects, Mobile-Only 404s, Irrelevant Cross Links and Overlays that partially or completely cover the contents of the page. We evaluate all target pages as part of our SEO packages and if your website isn't mobile ready you can use our UX team to optimize it for mobile devices. We will ensure that your website becomes mobile friendly and that you don't loose any mobile search engine traffic.
Google's Mission Statement is "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful." However Search Engine Optimizers (SEOs) have a mission to improve the rankings of their client's website. And in order to achieve their goals many SEOs resort to manipulative techniques, instead of using White Hat SEO techniques, to trick search engines and make quick progress.
For example, Search Engine Optimizers knew the power of backlinks very well and started misusing their knowledge to create spam links. All this messed up the search engine results and search engines had to make appropriate changes in their algorithms. As a result if your website was negatively affected by bad backlinks we know that there was something wrong with your back links and that your website was most probably penalized by Google's Penguin algorithm update. To find this information we need a thorough evaluation of your website.
Google like most other popular search engines, keeps updating its search algorithms to maintain the quality of search engine results and to fight spam. While a large number of such updates are minor, there are number of other updates that have a significant impact on search results, such as, Google Hummingbird, Google Mobile Friendly, Google Panda, Google Penguin and Google Pigeon. Google publically informs about most of these significant updates on their various webmaster networks. When we strategize a SEO campaign we keep a close eye at any (positive or negative) relation between such updates and your website. Just looking at how Google treats your website, post these updates, we can better evaluate the exact positive or negative aspects of your website in light of that specific update.
While Google Analytics is used to measure & track people visiting your website, Google Search Console is the #1 recommended tool purely from SEO perspective.
Google Search Console is a free service offered by Google that helps monitor and maintain a site's presence in Google Search results. You don't have to sign up for Search Console for your site to be included in Google's search results, but doing so can help you understand how Google views your site and optimize its performance in search results. Some benefits of using Search Console are, It helps you monitor your site's performance in Google Search results, Makes sure that Google can access your content, Submit new content for crawling and remove content you don't want shown in search results, Create and monitor content that delivers visually engaging search results, Maintain your site with minimal disruption to search performance, Monitor and resolve malware or spam issues so your site stays clean, Discover how Google Search—and the world—sees your site, See which queries caused your site to appear in search results, See a sample of sites which are linking to your website.
Google Analytics is an awesome tool for measuring & tracking your website visitors. You can see which keywords are performing, distinguish between organic and other visitor sources, see how they are behaving and which are the main landing pages, so you can better optimize them to increase the conversion ratio and use them to their fullest capabilities. It's an easy to use ultrafast tool that helps you gain advance insights and create all sorts of reports about your site visitors. In short, a must have tool for online marketing.
Here's what Google has to say about it's Analytics tool "Whatever your industry – travel, automotive, healthcare, or beyond – Analytics helps you get a deeper understanding of your customers so you can deliver better experiences and drive results. Analytics makes it easy to understand how your site users are engaging with your content, so you know what's working and what's not. See how people are interacting with your sites and the role that different channels play by viewing robust reports and dashboards. You can even connect systems used to measure CRM, points of sale, and other touch points with your customers for a more complete view. Use Google's unique machine learning capabilities to discover new insights from your data — such as which users are likely to convert or which customers have high revenue potential."
In order for Google or any other search engine to rank a webpage, it first needs to crawl that webpage and create it's index. Googlebot creates large indexes of the words and several other elements it can find on these webpages. Thereafter it processes key page tags and attributes, such as Title tags and ALT attributes before ranking a webpage. Now and then we often see webpages that Google couldn't crawl successfully. As a result these pages loose their rankings and if found in large numbers, it will negatively affect the ranking of other pages on that website. Common issues affecting your website crawlability include DNS errors, Not followed errors, Server connectivity issues, and robots.txt error.
The web is like an ever-growing library with billions of books and no central filing system. Google uses software known as web crawlers to discover publicly available webpages. Crawlers look at webpages and follow links on those pages, much like you would if you were browsing content on the web. They go from link to link and bring data about those webpages back to Google's servers. The crawling process begins with a list of web addresses from past crawls and sitemaps provided by website owners. As Google crawlers visit these websites, they use links on those sites to discover other pages. The software pays special attention to new sites, changes to existing sites and dead links. Computer programs determine which sites to crawl, how often and how many pages to fetch from each site. When crawlers find a webpage, Googles' systems render the content of the page, just as a browser does. It takes note of key signals — from keywords to website freshness — and keeps track of it all in the Search index. The Google Search index contains hundreds of billions of webpages and is well over 100,000,000 gigabytes in size.

Honey Muffins
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...It's hard to believe that anything this quick and simple to whip up could also be delicious. You'll just have to take my word for it until you try them for yourself. These muffins have an old-fashioned quality that makes folks nostalgic for the simplicity of grandma's kitchen. Berries and nut and other additions would come as times improved, but these were her most basic muffins and they got their flavor from a small amount of honey. That honey is a blessing and a curse. These muffins want to stick to the pan, so be sure to grease your muffin cups really well or you'll need a jack hammer to release them. I love to make these for morning coffee meetings. They are easy to transport and everyone seems to love them. I think you will, too. They are light, tender and delicious. Here's the recipe.
Honey Muffins...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Taste of Home Magazine
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup honey
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease or line standard muffin cups with paper liners.
2) Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
3) Combine egg, milk, butter and honey in a small bowl.
4) Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until moistened.
5) Fill prepared muffin cups three-fourths full with batter. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

I'm such a fan of plain baking - pound cake, heavy white cakes etc - so perhaps these will be for me too!

Simple recipes are pretty much my favorite. It's perfect when you can taste the ingredients as well... In this case, the honey. Would you say it's important to choose a dark honey, buckwheat for example????

I love using honey as a sweetener. It is a challenging one to use since it does stick and brown faster than sugar, but I think it's worth it. These look beautiful and I love the golden edges.
