Examine Pfizer and Corrupt in Google
It may be rather cheap shot, but try it for fun. Type in the words "Pfizer" and "Corrupt" into Google (about 2050 hits), or do a Google search for Pfizer and overcharging (about 527 hits) or Pfizer and Fraud (about 19,900 hits). I need to add that those numbers are changing every hour. Talking about overload of information, but we got something to think over.

Get Listed in Google
Consider these design guidelines:
Make a site with a clear hierarchy and text links. Every page should be reachable from at least one static text link.
Offer a site map to your users with links that point to the important parts of your site. If the site map is larger than 100 or so links, you may want to break the site map into separate pages.
Create a useful, information-rich site and write pages that clearly and accurately describe your content.
Think about the words users would type to find your pages, and make sure that your site actually includes those words within it.
Try to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links. The Google crawler doesn't recognize text contained in images.
Make sure that your TITLE and ALT tags are descriptive and accurate.
Check for broken links and correct HTML.
If you decide to use dynamic pages (i.e., the URL contains a '?' character), be aware that not every search engine spider crawls dynamic pages as well as static pages. It helps to keep the parameters short and the number of them small.
Keep the links on a given page to a reasonable number (fewer than 100).

Is knowledge the ultimate competitive advantage?
Business Management Asia report on the difference between information and knowledge applying effective strategies. From a business strategic perspective, knowledge management is about obsolescing what you know before others do, and profiting by creating the challenges and opportunities others haven't even thought about. In the bigger picture, the focus of knowledge management is on the ever-changing environment in which societies, organisations and individuals live, work, learn, adapt and survive.

Remember also that having to many sells messages on your pages can turn away your viewers. Choose your keywords carefully and delete any that do not get clicked on after two hundred impressions.

SEO Without Usability - An Exercise in Futility
Many SEO companies are now looking at the big picture and working with usability analysts. This ensures that their sites are crawler and user friendly along with being ready for sales conversions. Sites that can be found and that are usable as well will also attract links. It just makes sense. The double impact of more traffic and higher conversions makes for happy clients and powerful testimonials, as well as satisfied searchers.

Miserable Failure
Here is how liberals in US managed to connect "miserable Failure" search term with President George W. Bush Biography.
Miserable Failure
Here's a nifty idea for a new web project from Blah3.
From this day forth, I will refer to George W. Bush as a Miserable Failure at least once a day. Why, you ask? Well, someone came up with this great idea to link George W. Bush and Miserable Failure in popular search engines. If you have a blog or web site, help raise the link between George W. Bush and the phrase 'miserable failure' by copying this link and placing somewhere on your site or blog.
Thank you very much for your participation.
