Tennessee Mountain Property for Sale

Since we moved our offices into town here in Winchester, Tennessee everyone needs a website redone! Our insurance agent is a participant in a mountain top development over in Monteagle, Tennessee, about 15 miles to the east.

Someone created a graphically intensive CMS (content management system) website for Eagle Bluff Estates done with code heavy JavaScript and php. Then the someone disappeared. I always enjoy hearing stories about my brother's cousin's wife's friend who knows how to make websites on the side. There must be a big hole out there somewhere beyond the Internet where all of these folks disappear when they decide they don't want to do websites anymore. (They never tell anybody. They just vanish?) It's like the Twilight Zone.


Without breaking Nelson's bank, we have reworked and simplified what was there, dumped the Java and the php. The website is online today, registered with Google and Yahoo and is ready to start generating some relevant traffic.

Real estate is tough all over at the moment, but there are lots of baby boomers looking to get out of the big city to a place that is tranquil with affordable property taxes. Here in Tennessee we call them half backs. Moved to Florida from (name of northern state) and are now coming half way back to Tennessee and surrounds. When you do, come look at Eagle Bluff Estates.

Cheers,

Ron

In a little over a week we have earned Google rankings for the home page:
  • portable toilets Dallas, we are number two
  • portable toilets Fort Worth, we are number one

We are still working on other content but that's a nice start?

Cheers,

Solar Panel Installation Company Apex Solar

The newly redesigned Apex Solar website is online today. The previous website was programmed using a content management system in php that was not easy to edit for SEO. The website has passed TrustRank with Google but does not have a PageRank and was not generating many inquiries other than through direct referrals to the URL from ads and other listings.

We expect a major improvement in organic rankings.

We have an off grid solar cottage at our farm which is about 13 miles from your good friend Jack Daniels. Visit http://www.nealcreekfarm.com/zero-energy-home-tennessee.htm

Farrel and the good folks at Apex have over 8 years of solar energy system design and installation experience and specialize in off grid systems. They do grid tie systems also but the off grid work is more interesting.

Apex works throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico and would probably be happy to do systems in the Caribbean (or I will to the installation on those jobs provided I can take my SCUBA gear). Solar will be one of the main energy sources of the future. Do it now. Contact Apex.

Cheers,
Ron Castle

Portable Toilets & Sanitation Services

The outhouse has been an essential part of American history since the Pilgrims first landed at Plymouth. I never thought much about a website for portable toilets until Deanna and Tony contacted me from Texas Pride Portable Toilets. As a native Texan, I could not turn down this opportunity to assist fellow Texans with improving a pretty poopy website and get them some decent website rankings.

We are still short on content on many pages but we are moving in the right direction. There are too many good punny opportunities, sorry.

Texas Pride Portable Toilets is a young but highly capable woman owned family business located in Denton, Texas. They work both hard and smart to provide the best possible equipment and service to their customers in North Texas and DFW Metroplex.

The modern day "outhouse" business is a quite sophisticated combination of excellent customer service, logistics, chemistry, environmentally friendly waste disposal and equipment maintenance.

Texas Pride wants to earn your business and have you among their many repeat customers. If you are in the Dallas Fort Worth area and need sanitation equipment for your construction site or special event, give Texas Pride the opportunity to exceed your expectations.
Contact Texas Pride Portable Toilets today.

Cheers,
Ron

Ronnie Reagan's Power of Perception

I couldn't pass this one up re The Decider.



"A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne'er-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida; the one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work."

From the REAGAN DIARIES: May 17, 1986

Organic SEO for Unknown Product Gotta-Grip

One of the challenging issues facing many new products and organic optimization is how do you create traffic for something that is a very useful item for golfers in this case? Very few folks know the Gotta-Grip product (yet) and no one is searching for golf club grip conditioner or reconditioner because they don't know that this unique patented product even exists.

The strategy we laid out for website owners Westy and Bill and webmaster and fellow collaborator Pete was to do extensive research on all things related to golf and charitable and corporate tournaments and events and fill the non-ecommerce portion of the website with really good, informative, helpful and humorous pages that WILL attract organic traffic, all of which lead to the new product Gotta-Grip.

Fortunately, Westy is a savvy golfer, a savvy golf products marketer and a prolific writer. During the Christmas holidays and shortly thereafter he cranked out almost 30 pages of content which I rewrote and edited. We collaborated on the final copy, wrote our tags and title for every page, we all discussed the final product and Pete added them to the new website which went live today at their domain name which has already passed Google TrustRank.

Some of the targets we chose include
golf tournament gifts, golf equipment tests and topless golf. The topless golf page is a good example of how good creative writing skills can create an interesting and relevant page of content for something people are frequently searching. The visible page title for the page is Topless Golf: Gotta-Grip May Not Be What You Think.

The proof is in the pudding and it will be only a matter of days before our new pages get in the index. I expect we are going to have many good rankings all of which will turn significant traffic.

I think we gotta grip on Gotta-Grip's new website. Proof to follow shortly.

By the way, if you are a golfer, go check this product out. You will want one and Gotta-Grip also makes very affordable
unique golf gifts, which is another one of our targets.

Cheers,
Ron Castle
