Filed under: SEO/SEM — Trisha @ 4:22 pm

I haven’t been following very much of what’s been happening in the SEO world for a while - I haven’t even listened to WebmasterRadio or gone to their chat in a long time. I have been stopping by webmasterworld now and then though. I didn’t get to go to the latest pubcon either, but I heard that Malcolm Gladwell was going to be speaking. That and stuntdubl’srecent post made my think about his book The Tipping Point again.

I can’t seem get my sites to do very well - basically I don’t get enough visitors, and I don’t get enough visitors because google doesn’t seem to like my sites. I think it doesn’t like my sites because they don’t have enough links. But how do you get links naturally from good content if you don’t rank and no one sees your site? I’m trying blogging for that, but so far have not had much success with that either. Based on what the book says, I’m either a maven or an expert, but I’m certainly no connector or salesperson. I think I need to get the attention of a connector or salesperson, but I don’t know how. I’ll keep trying with blogs though and see if that works. Meanwhile I may post something about this at WMW too, if I have the time.





Tooth loss, pancreatic cancer, and Helicobacter pylori

My dad died two years ago from pancreatic cancer - I just found this paper a few days ago - it was written in 2003 though.

Tooth loss, pancreatic cancer, and Helicobacter pylori

He smoked most of his life and had false teeth, so I guess I know why he got it now. Too bad his doctor didn’t keep up on current research or he would have realized my died had a high risk of pancreatic cancer and they would have realized what was wrong earlier instead of just saying he was a diabetic.

If anyone has heard up more recent research about this, please let me know, I’d love to follow this story.

I’ve been really bad about writing on here, been spending more time on my other blogs instead.

here are some fun things I’ve found on the web recently:

I used to love peeps, but I can’t eat that much sugar anymore.

I like this too, a list of science things everyone should know:
