Creativity = Suicide?

Creativity is something we are all born with to greater or lesser degrees. It is a vital part of our physiological make up and development. We learn to play and fantasize as children, skills we carry forward into our adulthood. However, if creativity takes hold of your entire existence then it becomes a disease that is parasitic, eating away at your whole world. It might sound melodramatic but creativity can become a cancer of the body or the trigger for psychotic episodes.

How many writers, musicians, search engine optimizers and business people who have either committed suicide or completely lost a grip on reality, reached their ultimate demise because they were unable to control their creative disease?

More Social Networking SEO Tips

Your Profile – First impressions mean everything and presenting a positive profile is the top priority, you need to divulge as much information about yourself as you can to make your 'friends' feel comfortable - as though they know you in real life, use your first name and a real profile picture.

Positivity is better than Negativity –  Be positive about yourself and your brand. Bring new, interesting  and accurate information to blogs and discussion groups. Give quality feedback and try to be helpful to other users - always try to be positive and upbeat.

Meta Tags are dead?

What role Meta tags do play in Search engine optimization (SEO)? I think this question can be partly answered by stating - The effectiveness of tags depends on the ever changing processes and criteria search engines use to rank pages.

In the good old days, the keywords tag played a vital role in determining the position of websites in the result pages of all the important search engines. You could stuff, repeat and overkill your keywords tags with important and relevant golden words. You could trick and redirect searches to sites using 'sexy' and irrelevant words and phrases, consequently keywords have become useless for searching and quite frankly the sooner keywords disappear from meta tags the better.

However, always use your own keyword phrase(s) in your meta tags in the source code of your web site. Experiment with different words, place them in the tags and wait for a few weeks and then conduct a search on the major search engines to work out the ranking of your web site - then see if your keyword meta tags have been successful in improving your ranking.

The important thing to remember though is that the visible content of your site is the most important search engine optimization weapon in your arsenal. Well written content and text is strategically a far more useful use of your time than messing about with key word tags.
