This was a banner week here at RDG. First off you can see our new mascot the Ninja Marketer. If you keep following this blog I will include more and more secret ninja tricks you can use to market your business on the internet and Facebook. </p>
<p>In other news, we are really excited here at RDG, since we released our custom Facebook tabs for full use by all. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RDGUSA" title="Rekola Design Group Facebook" target="_blank"><u>Click here</u> to see our tabs in action here!!</a> The applications have been in beta with a few clients while we worked out all the kinks. But even with a few hiccups, the results we saw from our beta testers was remarkable!!</p>
<p>One of the testers went from 7 fans to 1,500 fans in just 30 days!! Another tester increased their revenue 15% and was able to track that revenue came directly from Facebook. At 850+ million users, Facebook would be the 3rd largest country in the world, and in the last two years 65% of all new Facebook users are 45+ years old!!</p>
<p>This is the perfect time to start using Facebook to grow your business. We have 15 different applications which can allow you to completely customize your Facebook page. In some instances, you don&#8217;t even need a website anymore!! Contact us today for a Free Consultation. </p>
<p>Chris</p>

I hope every one out there is having a great day and making plans with that someone special. </p>
<p>I have a quick question for you. How much will you be spending this year on your Valentine? If you&#8217;re like most of us, it is something like&#8230;.</p>
<ul>
<li>$50 for flowers</li>
<li>$30 for dinner</li>
<li>$25 for chocolate</li>
<li>$5 on a card</li>
</ul>
<p>But all that stuff is perishable. What if I said you could give your Valentine a gift that lasts for years!! For the same price as all those items, that are forgotten in a few weeks, you could get a custom website filled with pictures and videos of your life together. </p>
<p>Contact us for a Free Consultation or sign up for our Newsletter on the right. </p>

<h1>They Can Make Or Break Your Site&#8230;..</h1>
<p>So, I thought I&#8217;d let in on a big problem that I look for on client websites when I&#8217;m doing SEO consulting. It&#8217;s Keywords!! SEO is critical to your website&#8217;s success, but if your site is targeting the wrong keywords, you are doomed for failure. A few emails back I promised you some exclusive tricks to find keywords and secret strategies I&#8217;ve used successfully. As a professional internet marketer, I usually charge people hundreds of dollars for these insights! First let me give you some background information. </p>
<h4>Keyword Background</h4>
<p>Keyword research revolves around finding the perfect keywords (or key phrases which refers to the same thing as keywords) for your website to target. For example, one of the key phrases my website targets is &#8220;web developer San Diego&#8221;. Some keywords are more competitive than others. You can tell how competitive a keyword is by doing a Google search. Searching the key phrase &#8220;web developer&#8221; in Google results in over 129,000,000 web pages!  If I targeted my website for the key phrase &#8220;web developer&#8221;, I would be competing with 129,000,000 web pages and I would have no chance for success. Keyword research is picking the battles you want to fight and you only want to pick battles you can win which is why having a good keyword tool is so important.</p>
<h4>Keyword Tools</h4>
<p>There are tools that give you valuable insights on the number of searches a keyword recieves a month, where it receives those searches (in which country/state/city), and even the competition&#8217;s keywords!! Using the right keyword tool when doing your keyword research is extremely important. I never tell clients what keyword tools I use and my colleagues would not appreciate me giving you this link&#8230; but here it is: <a href="www.google.com/url?sa=t&#038;rct=j&#038;q=&#038;esrc=s&#038;source=web&#038;cd=1&#038;sqi=2&#038;ved=0CFEQFjAA&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fadwords.google.com%2Fselect%2FKeywordToolExternal&#038;ei=xHw2T-P8DZPViAKKirmgCg&#038;usg=AFQjCNGTVtE8qvjaqHJgAAJEqL2HwooXJw&#038;cad=rja" title="Google Keywood Tool" target="_blank"><u>Google&#8217;s Ninja Keyword Tool</u></a></p>
<h4>Keyword Strategies</h4>
<p>There are many books written on ways to pick keywords and ways to use those keywords on your website. I&#8217;ve read a ton of books on the subject and have never really been impressed by what I&#8217;ve read. A couple weeks ago I stumbled upon <a href="www.wordtracker.com/academy/press-release-50-kick-ass-keyword-strategies" title="50 Keyword Strategies" target="_blank"><u>50 Keyword Strategies</u></a></p>
<p>The bottom line is, if you want your website on the first page of Google, you will need to choose the right keywords and use the keywords in an effective way.</p>

I have to give a shout-out to one of my favorites, Whitney Houston as I heard she passed away tonight. A few hours ago the social networks exploded with Whitney references, and with the Grammy Awards scheduled for tomorrow I can image they will be rushing to get something planned. Say what you want about her, but the girl could sing. </p>
<p>At Super Bowl XXV in January 1991, she easily performed the greatest version of the Star Spangled Banner in history!! It&#8217;s could be as close to perfect as a human voice can sound. The beauty of her rendition is in it&#8217;s simplicity. Most singers try to make &#8220;The National Anthem&#8221; their own with unnecessary additions that end up making the song sound like a bad American Idol audition. Not Whitney, she just sang the hell out of the song.</p>

I am not saying that the service or speed were great but it was free internet, and I don&#8217;t know anyone that would argue with that! The ride took all of 90 minutes and was pretty uneventful. Mom and Dad were waiting for me at the platform as we concluded the night with a few beers and a burger. I hope the rest of the weekend is as SUPER as tonight!!</p>

This is a very special weekend for my family and I, as the New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl for a 5th time in the last 10 years!!! When I was growing up I hated the Cowboys and the 49ers with a passion because they were inevitably in ever Super Bowl. I could never understand, as a kid, why the Patriots were inevitable losers. Prior to 2001 my Patriots had won all of 5 playoff games and no championships. They have been to the Super Bowl twice before and were basically embarassed right out of the stadium. For 40 years this franchise was a minor league team, a place where NFLers would bide their time, learn the craft, then move onto another team to achieve their glory. Three separate, but equally important, moves in football history have led to this point. </p>
<ol>
<li>Robert Kraft purchases the New England Patriots</li>
<li>I resign as HC of NYJ, BB</li>
<li>The New England Patriots take Tom Brady, Michigan QB, with the 199th pick in the NFL draft</li>
</ol>
<p>I am so glad my team waited till I was old enough to really enjoy these moments!!</p>
