WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION and SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO):

Many businesses have great websites. They pay upwards of $5,000 or more for flashy websites, with ‘flash’ and video and all the bells and whistles. however , often these websites are never optimized. One can have the greatest website , but if a website is not ‘optimized’ there will be little or no new traffic coming to the site. Whether you build your own website or use a ‘professional’ website builder , It’s not uncommon for the optimization process to be overlooked and this is a BIG MISTAKE. It can often be the difference between a successful business or one that goes OUT OF BUSINESS.

There are actually TWO TYPES OF OPTIMIZATION:

1) WEBSITE OPTIMIZATION determines whether the actual
website itself is smoothly functioning; It must have the right balance of content – words, pictures, flash and video – so that pages load quickly and smoothly. How often have you become frustrated waiting for a website to open, so much so that we often leave the website, a potential customer lost to that malfunctioning website. There are other key elements of simple optimization, such as determining the right type of website or blog for one’s business, the size, target market , etc.

2) SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION – As important as is website optimization, ‘SEO,’ as its known In the tech business, IS ever so critical. As much as a company puts into building its website, it should spend a lot more on SEO, as this is the key to bringing new potential customers to one’s website via the search engines, thus Search Engine Optimation. The goal is for a business to be found as high up as possible on Google and other Search Engine pages when people look for particular businesses, product s or services, using key search terms, or keywords.

There is so much that goes into the process of Search Engine Optimization, from determining the best , matching search terms (keywords); this alone can be a daunting task, determining whether one wants to buck potential heavy competition with general words, or go for less – competetive ’niche’ keywords or phrases.

Then there are other elements inSEO, including the ever –important ‘backlinks,’ getting large numbers of related websites and directories to ‘link back’ to one’s site. Social marketing has become very big in SEO, vying with email as a way of directly reaching out as an aggressive form of marketing, rather than a passive one.

Of course, basic SEO musn’t be overlooked, the use of Search-engine friendly ‘meta-tags’ including the ever-important headline, description, and, again, keywords. The latter dovetails with simple website optimization , the number and length of keywords and phrases, the requisite photos and videos for which Google ‘bots’ and other ‘spiders’ crawl .

SEO is an ongoing and time-consuming activity, can be costly but necessary.

UNCLAIMED ASSETS

Even though I grew up in California I was a Minnesota Twin’s fan as a kid and Harmon Killebrew was my favorite player.  Even as a 12 year old I could see something special about  him- beyond just baseball.  He  was the ‘gentle giant’ .  He was the team leader in a quiet way that would eventually lead the Twins to a World Series in 1965, a highlight in my own life and no doubt Harm’s.

I remember trying to hook up the TV antenna to get any reception so I could see him lead his Minnesota  Twins  on the Saturday Game of the week with Dizzy Dean announcing.

Baseball back then was special and Killebrew was  my special player above all others.

KILLEBREW

BASEBALL

CAREER AND LIFE

PERSONIFIES SUCCESS

Harmon Killebrew has spent the past 10 years or so   helping others with cancer and involved with promoting hospice when one is near the end of life’s path. Killebrew recently made a statement that he, himself, has exhausted all ‘options’  for treating his own cancer and has turned to that institution he has promoted so well and will spend his last days under hospice care. It’s hard for me to say…  It seems like yesterday Killebrew was bringing thrills to this  young kid. Now we’re both in our later stages of life and facing mortality; of course, we all face it, some sooner than later.  And Killebrew has taken on this final challenge  as he has done during his entire life

Some ballplayers are heros for a short time during their baseball careers  . The true hero carries the tag   through an entire life. Can’t say there are many who do.  Of living  guys, Musial comes to mind. Can’t really think of many others who have lived their entire lives playing by the golden rule.

 

Back in the early 60s  there was one tv  game a week and, for me  it came with a a snowy picture on channel 13, which was the only channel carrying the game. There were only four channels , period, back then, unlike the 200+ of today TV games around the clock.  Waiting a week for the next televised game seemed like an eternity but made baseball then even more special.  No instant gratification then. I was happy to see Killebrew any way I could, even as a shadowy figure  obscured  in a snowy screen of dots along with   the sound of static.

The Twins had their own ‘Murderers Row’ with Killebrew, Bob Allison, Oliva, Earl Battey, Don Mincher and others..

Harmon could play third base or first base. But it was his power hitting and soft-spoken leadership that made him special – and it was all natural, Idaho-raised Potato Power, if you will.  Yes, he struck out a lot, but then home run hitters do.  But , when he did catch one  it was usually  no fluke.

I remember one of those TV games where the Twins hit four homers in a row.  Pretty unheard of these days but back then you’d even have a single player hit four homeruns in a game, such as Willie Mays, hometown  hero.

One low point came when Harmon had an unfortunate accident in the 1965 All-Star Game, I believe it was, when he did the splits stetching out for a ball , while fielding first base, injuring himself.  He was out the rest of the year, as I recall, and that was one of the few years he didn’t hit 40 homers ; Killebrew was the only player to hit  40 or more in 11 or more seasons, other than the Babe himself. Something to say for consistency.  By comparison, Barry Bonds, regarded by many as the greatest player of the recent era, only hit 40 homeruns one time thru his first eight years, at Pittsburg; only after coming to San Francisco and becoming the lead instigator at ‘win at all costs,’ even if it meant putting performance-enhancing drugs in his body.  I doubt that even if Harmon were playing in this era he would  have even considered doing such, himself.

The Harmon Killebrew Story

It was a real thrill when Killebrew came to Oakland in the 80s, I believe it was ,  to become part of the A’s broadcasting team.  He was as good a color man  as he was a ballplayer;  everything he did he seemed to do well.  Soft-spoken and very kind, he was also known as ‘Humble H arm’ during his playing days.

In more recent years he has had health problems. The first time. around ten years ago,  he said that if he got thru that bout he woudl dedicate the rest of his life to helping kids with similar health problems.  That he has done, very quietly. I didn’t even know until now.

HARMON KILLEBREW  SUCCESS WAS ON AND OFF THE FIELD,  DURING HIS BASEBALL CAREER AND LONG AFTER

It was a sad day about 5 years ago when Bob Allison passed. Allison was  like Roger maris was to Mickey Mantle, MoCovey to Mays.   I thought about mortality and was glad that at least Killebrew was still around.

Haven’t heard much of Killebrew in recent years. I just happened to be turning down the radio dial and happened to hear a guest on a sports talk show talk about knowing Harmon and what a great guy he is. I was happy to hear the word ‘is’ because, for awhile I was afraid it was going to be a eulogy. You know how you don’t hear of someone for awhile and then suddenly it’s only when they pass that they’re heralded again.

I never heard the full detailsl on the radio show, other than how nice a guy Harmon was, as I tuned in late. I had to check the internet to find out that Harmon has had esophogeal (sp) cancer  since December, 2010 and, that after initially being given a good prognosis, had decided to check into hospice for his remaining days.  He had accepted this as you might exepct from a guy like him, expressing his gratefulness to his family and friends, and fans for their best wishes.

Minnesota Twins Harmon Killebrew Cooperstown Name & Number T-Shirt

Harmon is only 74, which seems pretty young as U am older now.  A lot of my boyhood idols lost the lustre as the got older, doing foolish things. Not Harmon.   He’s always been the gentleman and fan favorite, on a team with many great guys… Versailles, Rollins, Carew, Pasqual, Kaat, Blyleven.etc. Those were some teams.

1965 was about the last year I could take time to follow the Twins as teenage-hood brought on many unwanted responsibilites.  But it was a miracle year and couldn’t have been more exciting as my farefwell to baseball as a kid.  I decided to start a fan club for the Twins. Ran an ad in Sport Magazine and ended up with over 200 members. Even Calvin Griffith, owner of the team,  would answer my letters to him, which I still have somewhere. I  didn’t agree with a lot of his ‘secret ‘ decissions’ such as bringing up players who would never make it.  Fortuantely, there must have been a GM that made most of the decisions, as the Twins went on to make it to the World Series that year!  I always say that I take partial credit for their first -ever entry  into the series with my little fam club.   I was even given a baseball, autographed by the entire team.  But, like the gullible person I can be, I  agreed to sell it to one of the fans, mailing it even before I got the money. Never did get the money….

So, Harmon,  here’s to a great career and life  and hope for oas many more peaceful, comfortable days as possible. I’ll be thinking of you daily and will never forget the greeat joy you breought me and many others , both as a boy and adult. They don’t seem to make them like you anymore. Thanks.

Crises and Compassion: From Russia to the Golden Gate (Footprints Series)

BOOK SIGNING: CRISES and COMPASSION by John Letiche – Book Signing March 29, 6:30 pm, 2430 Bancroft Ave., Berkeley

Crisis & Compassion – From Russia to the Golden Gate

Bay Area and Berkeley’s own John M. Letiche started life as Ianik Letichevsky, a citizen of the newly constituted Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The son of a brilliant but dictatorial father and a loving, cultivated mother, he went on to a remarkable career as an accomplished scholar, professor of economics, and adviser to governments.

Letiche, now in his nineties, provides an intriguing look at the changes that have occurred during his lifetime. Following his Kiev childhood and formative years in Depression-era Montreal, he completed a doctorate at the University of Chicago and took up a Rockefeller fellowship at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City. As a technical advisor to the Economic Commission for Africa he conducted trade talks with both gifted and corrupt heads of state in sub-Saharan Africa, and later shared a working White House dinner with an infamous American president.

His half-century-long teaching career at Berkeley included a front row seat for the Free Speech Movement and the most documented student revolt in popular history. Told with humour, insight, and humility, Crises and Compassion moves nimbly among weighty events and meaningful personal history, showing how “civility in intellectual exchange” came to be the guiding principle of a life of monumental experiences (Amazon)

5.0 out of 5 stars Comment by Jeremy Kinsman, February 11, 2011

“Dr. Jack Letiche’s twentieth century journey instructs, entertains, and inspires the reader who will finish the book better off on any account, but above all for the time spent with the life and mind of a great thinker and global citizen.” (Jeremy Kinsman, Canadian Ambassador or High Commissioner in Moscow, Rome, London, and Brussels, and Regents’ Lecturer 2009-10, University of California, Berkeley )

5.0 out of 5 stars More than Economics – Professor’s Memoir A Real Life Rags to Riches Adventure, March 19, 2011 By Burt Kaufman

“What a read! What a Life – and it seems a long way from over for renown Berkeley Economics Professor John Letiche! Now in his early 90s, Letiche has written his fourteenth book, his fascinating memoir recounting an almost unbelievable journey from a childhood in Russia, rife with anti-semitism, to adviser to world leaders.

The book reads almost like an adventure story in its real life drama, including a serendipitous marriage proposal, an eye-opening meeting with President Nixon and, later, historic conferences with the Council on Foreign Relations. One might expect a book written by an economics professor to be very technical but this book, written sans ghostwriter, is easily readable for all ages and education levels. Letiche has a very colorful, yet concise writing style.

This is less a tome on economics than a real life story one must read to appreciate. It might even affect your own life.

How Does it Work?

Subliminal messages

work as a mild form of hypnosis – gradually sending suggestions into your subconscious mind to rewrite your self beliefs, ways of thinking, and even patterns of behavior. These messages bypass your “logical” conscious mind so avoid any resistance which would usually hold you back. Because of this you can develop in ways which would not be possible with conscious personal development alone.

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES

2010 WORLD SERIES – FROM BANJO HITTERS TO WORLD BEATERS IN ONE EASY STEP

THIS ONE WAS FOR EARLY

GIANTS

Mays , McCovey and the ’60s Giants Deserved a World Series Victory more than this current crop, so at least they could share in this one. They were the REAL WINNERS – those 1962 era Giants, who never knew steroids back then.

STEROID BREAKFAST Black Cap Honoring SF Giants ‘Building Champions – 10 Years of Sterooids’ =’BODYBUILDING UNIVERSE sells anabolic BODYBUILDING SHIRTS, Powerlifting t-shirts, workout clothes with STEROIDS sayings and BODYBUILDING ARTWORK! We carry many novelty Bodybuilding tshirt designs

GIANTS HAVEN’T LEARNED – 10 YEAR S LATER

Eight years later the Giants haven’t learned. The Giants knew about Jose Guillen’s past use of steroids (Mitchell Report), not the neck injury they gave as the reason for leaving him off the team.
Now we see Jose Uribe having his best homer year at age 33 in a homer -unfriendly ballpark, and newly acquired cast-off, veteran outfielder Cody Ross, who only hit only 11 homers in 487 at bats with the Florida Marlins, has hit 8 homers with the Giants in roughly 100 at bats since coming to the Giants; that’s one homer for roughly every 12 at bats,
Now Cody Ross and Reteria are suspect. Look at the numbers @ http://www.RoadToSuccess.us As a team, the Giants have gone from a .500 plus team at All Star Break to having the best record in baseball the past two months, finishing twenty games over .500 since Ross and Guillen came along.
Need we say more. Or, does anyone care?

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A MONTH MAKES -

WORLD SERIES WRAP:

‘S-GUYS’ WON IT FOR GIANTS IN

SEPTEMBER!  T-SHIRTS & CAPS

World Champs or Bladerunners? Giant pitchers Romo and Wilson

In the fifth and final game, it was Cody Ross who got a single, Juan Uribe who got a single, and then Edgar Renteria who hit the three-run- homer in the seventh inning to give the Giants enough to win the game and their first World Series in 56 years and since coming to San Francisco. These are the three key ‘S- guys’ in the Giants lineup that won the World Series. Maybe stole is a more appropriate term, as noted in a previous blog. Suddenly, Ross became Babe Ruth or, better, Barry Bonds for the World Series, playoffs and last month of season, hitting 7 homer and three in his first 6 at bats in the playoffs after hitting only 11 homer the entire year; this at age 30 , playing in the hitter-unfriendly AT&T Park in San Francisco. Without those three , the Texas Rangers would have probably won game 5, 1-0. Uribe never hit 25 homers in his 12 year career but he did it at age 33, playing, again, in San Francisco’s spacious, cold ball park, with September his best month and hitting two homers in the playoffs and Series. Uribe has been a known defender of steroids (note May 09 interview where he defended Latin players for using steroids.) Renteria was given up for dead, the subject of much derision by Giants fans and one of GM Sabean’s many criticized trades until September, when Renteria also came to life. He had his best month , by far, hitting two of his three homers of the year in the playoffs and World Series. Some criticized Ranger’s Washington for not walking Renteria to get to Aaron Rowand in that fifth game, with two men on base. But, on paper, Renteria had been the weakest link – if you took the whole season into account. Seems that the Giants great hitting all began in September – after a known Steroid user, Jose Guillen, was brought in by the Giants; suddenly half the team got better. Few gave the Giants a chance against better teams like the ______________________________ SF GIANTS WORLD SERIES T-SHIRTS and Products – Discount Bulk Rates- Holiday Gifts = Click here ____________________ Rangers and Phillies, but , they won it all with their weakest team to make it to the World Series in San Francisco (also ’89 and ’02, which they lost). Some call it destiny and some say the Giant pitching was enough to get them through and others say they peaked at the right time. We say just look at the numbers, especially on a team known for looking the other way in the most tolerant city. The same guys who defended Bonds for his ‘flaxseed oil’ that gave him the new homerun record , by a long shot, in 2002 – and perhaps if not for Game of Shadows might still be the only guy hitting splash homers into the Bay at ATT – are running this team, GM Brian Sabean and president Larry Baer . After 56 years of futility in San Francisco, even with players like Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Gaylord Perry, Juan Marichal and Will Clark, a bunch of virtual no-name players , guys with little or no track record, suddenly give the Giants the world series with Sabean and Baer , currently the longest active management of any major league team. We believe Sabean and Baer were so desperate to ‘get the monkey off their back’ they would do most anything to win, including bringing in players who use steroids. The most obvious one is Jose Guillen, who even made headlines during the World Series, when a New York Times reporter broke the story that he was kept off the Giants playoffs roster. The Giants had earlier said it was due to Guillen’s ‘stiff neck’ until the new story came out that a probe had found HGH drugs being circumvented to Guillen’s wife, in the Bay Area. Guillen, the known user, found twice to have used steroids, in 2002 and 2005 in the Mitchell Report, was brought to the team for the Giants stretch drive. Like Ross and Uribe, he was a player at the end of career that no other team seemed to want. Guillen , himself, had a number of key hits during September, bad neck or not – enough by himself to probably mean the difference between the San Diego Padres and Giants winning the tight Western Division race. But the key here is that AFTER Guillen got to San Francisco these other guys – Ross, Uribe and Renteria – – became superstars , not to mention half of the team suddenly heating up . Matt Cain, with perhaps his best month of his pitching career. Guillen got caught while these other guys haven’t, but the damage was done. Call it guilt by association. And, just wondering, why did these three guys all come out in their knit caps for the parade on an unusually warm 70 degree day for the Giants parade November 3? Just wondering. It would just be too much of a coincidence for all this to happen – for the Giants to suddenly go from a .500 team at All Star Break, with the same pitchers, (plus Baumgartner , who wasn’t THAT much better than Zito, who had his best year yet with the Giants) to a near .800 team with the best record – and most homeruns- in baseball the last month of the season!

GUILLEN KEY TO SEASON and WORLD SERIES

Little was made of Guillen’ s ‘hiccup’ with the Giants – a mere hiccup for Giants fans, who , like the rest of San Francisco, are overly tolerant when it comes to drug use and most anything – note the funny smell pervading ATT during the series. Even with the Giant’s track record of bringing in players nobody wanted – probably for any number of good reasons – fans and even media overlooked Guillen and the

rest; we almost did, too, until the Guillen incident hit the press and it was déjà vu all over. While it was a blip on the radar screen for most , just as was Bonds’ homer streak until two writers finally put an end to that, we found more to this story, after doing a little fact checking . And there are a few others out there who feel the same way about these Giants . Perhaps the lowest World Series TV viewership in history also points to this, despite San Francisco’s adoration of its team – no matter what! Like the recent election where San Francisco and California are an anomaly, so are the Giants to the rest of baseball. Will anything come of this? Probably not. Writers went go back home scratching their heads as to how the Giants could beat the better team they predicted to win. Bud Selig went back home after stating his satisfaction with the TV numbers, despite being 25% down from last year after the first two games. Outside of San Francisco, the series was a blip and probably many won’t be able to even tell you who won the series a year from now. So, life goes on, and so does

baseball, but nothing like I remember in 1989 and 1962, as a young boy at my first World Series with REAL PLAYERS like Mays and McCovey. Nice those guys are still around to get some attention for themselves, but deep down, you have to wonder what they’re thinking, especially coming off seven years of Barry Bonds. Say it ain’t so, Joe, but I’m afraid it is. For more Giants and Baseball 2010 style go to http://www.RoadToSuccess.us

If nothing else, we’re glad the Giants got to the World Series for at one thing:It gave the classy veteran Giants, Mays, McCovey and their ilk, perhaps one last,deserving national stage to showcase these greats from another era and from much better Giants teams that never won a World Series – before the new playoff structure came about where teams can make it with less talent over the short term – and – before steroids.

Note the lack of interest in this world series anywhere but San Francisco? With the lowest TV ratings in World Series history- Commissioner Selig said he was happy with the 25% decrease in viewership- and lack of press coverage, one has to wonder and notice. Baseball may not be what it once was, but the Giants aren’t the toast of baseball either – outside of SF.
