Ippon Seoi Nage. I have to say I really like this throw. Although you're not supposed to have a favorite anything when it comes to self-defense. Each technique and weapon used are just tools for defense. But I still like the throw. lol. A few things with this throw. As with all throws, maintaining constant body contact is key. And unlike the Ippon throw, Ippon Seoi Nage is an over the shoulder throw. What I really like about this throw is the control you have. Since you're throwing over your shoulder, you have even more control on where your opponent lands and also how "hard" (slamming) he hits the ground. Did I mention I really like this throw? Shhh, you're not supposed to like any techniques or weapons.......

The future of SEO is transforming before our eyes and the adoption of AI and machine learning technologies in the world of search is revolutionizing how businesses approach SEO. OpenAI's ChatGPT is just one example of how AI is changing the game. Machine learning is not only speeding up data analysis but is also helping businesses optimize their websites from design, copy, to keyword usage. For those of us who rely on SEO, we have to pay attention to emerging trends. We are already witnessing the advent of Search Generative Experience (SGE), blending generative AI with traditional search results. Why visit a search engine when a chatbot can provide the answer? This opens up exciting opportunities but also some challenges. For instance, will businesses require an SEO strategy if users are diverted from their websites? Going forward, it's more important than ever to produce high-quality content that stands out from AI-generated articles and deeply resonates with audiences. As we navigate this brave new world of AI and machine learning in SEO, remember, it's about adapting, innovating and staying ahead of the curve. Exciting times lie ahead! #SEO #AI #MachineLearning #ChatGPT #DigitalMarketing #AllSystemsGrow

One of the best ways you can get more sales and leads is through answering your customers' questions for free on your website. For example, if you're a criminal defense lawyer in Idaho, build pages and write blog posts about criminal laws in idaho. People will see your content on Google and reach out to you for more information. This also helps you on Google because other websites will quote you and link back to your website, which Google also loves. But you only want to do this for your target customer. A criminal defense lawyer in Idaho wouldn't want to write blog posts about criminal laws in Tennessee because those people aren't his customers. #seo

How to price 'Websites-As-A-Service': There are 3 major factors to consider when setting your pricing (and for good measure, we'll follow it up with 1 indicator that it's time to increase your price) 1. What can clients sustain? 2. What results can you generate? 3. What are others in your industry charging? Let's use a few examples: If you have a real estate agent making 2% per sale, and you can help them generate 2 new clients a month, you might be generating $5000/month for them. A mechanic that you can bring in 2 new clients per month might only be generating $500/month. You'll want to find clients in an industry that can reasonably sustain $200-$300/month as a starting point. You can add on extras like creating blog content, a proprietary service, sending out an email newsletter, etc, but start with knowing your baseline website price. Someone who cuts hair as a hobby for 10 clients/month is not a great client base to go after. Golf courses that sell $1000/year memberships are a good client base. Either find an industry that has solid cash flow and learn about it, or go after an industry that you love. My recommendation is to start by exploring industries that you love (maybe you're an avid golfer, or your parents ran a restaurant while you were growing up). Price your services so you're profitable but in line with what others in the industry are charging. Be sure you're comparing apples to apples. Maybe someone else is charging $1000/month for websites, but you don't want to get into writing blogs and email newsletters like they do. Someone else is $50/month, (but they'll probably be out of business soon at that price point). Here are some ideas of what to include in your web design service package: https://lnkd.in/gC8ZgD3y HOW TO TELL IF IT'S TIME TO INCREASE PRICES: If you've got a lineup of people waiting to get your service, it's time to increase prices. Nobody lines up for a bad deal, but my wife will stand in the snow to get into clearance day at the thrift shop. This isn't always an indicator that your price is lower than the competition. it's possible that your prices are already higher (because of your reputation - or theirs) but you're looking for the sweet spot where people pause to consider before saying yes to your price. If they say yes too fast, they're eager to get the value of what you're selling for the price. Prices need to go up. If you're closing, but the ratio is low, it's time to consider how you're pricing your service in relation to what you're offering. Prices can always flex up - They're not permanently fixed. BUT you run the risk of upsetting an existing customer if you have to drop them later.

If you need help with SEO, you'll probably want the agency you hire to show up near the top. 🎯 It's one of those engagements with clear objectives and abundant evidence to prove a company is worth its salt. With all of the changes happening in search lately, Xponent21 remains ahead of the curve, helping our clients reach the top of search locally, nationally, and internationally. We also help our clients get ranked in AI search results and generative AI citations. For fun, and because we don't always give our brand the same treatment we extend to clients, I embarked on a little project to help our website rank at the top for searches related to local SEO agencies in Richmond. In 24 days, we jumped to the first position - in the featured snippets no less - from page three. Because we didn't start tracking this keyword until we had authored some optimized content, the move was likely more significant than we've measured. If you're still wondering what this is about or all that goes into SEO, you aren't alone. It's a specialized area of digital marketing with some of the most technical knowledge requirements. The most seasoned marketers still rely on SEO experts for success. With nearly 40% of internet searchers clicking on the first result on the search engine results pages (SERPs), being on top is extremely valuable. Send me a message or drop a 🔎 in the comments if this a strategy you're interested in exploring for your website.

RSS feeds are an efficient way to stay updated with website content from a centralized location. Structuring data in a widely accepted protocol enables easy content curation and indexing. Popular RSS readers like Feedly and Feeder utilize this technology to aggregate content seamlessly.

A bad introduction can kill your content. Bad introductions don’t match users’ search intent. Writing a blog post on what a CMS is? Explain what it is and what it does. Users searching for this need basic information. Comparing two CMS platforms? Users interested in comparisons are already knowledgeable. Their intent is commercial, and they don’t need generic explanations. Mixing these up? You lose your audience, increase bounce rates, and hurt your SEO. Generic introductions might feel easy, but they harm your content.

Poor email deliverability is the silent killer for e-commerce brands. In my experience, the issue doesn't just stop with subscribers not receiving emails...it goes much deeper. Here are the key reasons why: ❎ Not prioritizing email list hygiene ❎ Ignoring crucial deliverability metrics ❎ Failing to warm up new IP addresses properly ❎ Purchased or rented email lists (big no-no!) ❎ Lack of proper email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) The result? Tanked sender reputation. This leads to: Lower email open rates → fewer clicks → missed revenue opportunities. So what's the solution for e-comm brands? 1. Clean your email list regularly 2. Monitor key deliverability metrics obsessively 3. Properly warm up new IP addresses 4. NEVER purchase or rent email lists 5. Implement proper email authentication Get these right, and watch your deliverability (and revenue) soar. 📈 PS. What's been your experience with email deliverability?
