It takes time to fully master all different rules and principles of life - Great Pyramids of Giza were not built in a day after all.

It is a visible sign reminding us all of astounding results that can be accomplished with vision, determination and persistence.

This is exactly same behavior we want to apply in our marketing if we are to get results of same magnitude.

What we have to do is study founding principles of success and get better at applying them effectively in real world: on marketing battlefield.

It's a fact: we need to get better at mastering marketing strategies that lead to higher levels of success.

Regardless of our personal level of success, #1 critical success factor to accomplish this is determined by our ability to identify and process very information that will give us leverage we lack to reach next step and enable greater success.

The most efficient and fastest way to increase our success is through adoption of behavioral patterns that will create more and more success for us. It pretty much works like a snowball effect: first step is to get it started to best of our knowledge and abilities.

It can always be improved in course of time. That decision is ours to make. No one else can make it for us.

In my monthly newsletter, I discuss how it all works: how states of mind and behavioral patterns are intimately connected and how one does influence other greatly, be it in a positive or in a negative way.

Always remember, you can't direct wind but you can adjust sails and shorten journey leading to your success.

All best, Dan Hamilton

Doesn’t SEO Depend On META Tags?

It used to... a long, LONG time ago. When ‘Net was first founded, just about all you had to do to get high rankings was to shove a bunch of keyphrases into your keyword tag. Now, however, engines are smarter. They pay no attention to keyword tags and very little attention to description tag. The only tag that carries much weight anymore is title tag. It is extremely important.

Isn’t SEO Copywriting Just Using Keyphrases As Many Times As You Can?

No! Not only does that put you at risk of spamming search engines, it makes your copy sound horrible to your human site visitors. What good are high search engine rankings if your copy doesn’t convert those visitors into paying customers?

You need to find creative and strategic places to use keyphrases so that you maintain balance between natural language and keyphrase use.
