squashing big corporations
Today I researched shopping cart programs and credit card processors. I'm leaning strongly toward commerce-cgi.com's script and 2checkout.com for cc processing. I'm also looking for product to sell, and am researching search engine optimization (SEO).
Apparently most major corporations are not spending a lot of money on SEO, so smaller companies that are willing to put in the effort and research to optimize their placement in the major search engines can outperform the big guys. One of the major ways to move up in the search engines' results is to have lots of inbound links from others' sites. So I'd like to take a moment to thank each of you who has linked to me from your website. You're the secret to my success. At least you will be, and don't think I won't forget it. Er...don't think for a minute that I will forget it, because I certainly will.
I'm also waiting with breath for my copy of the 2005 Writers' Market. That's right, I'm going to find some agents/publishers/magazines, and start pestering them. If I don't get published, at least we shall all have a few good laughs about it right here at chezJoel.com...won't we? Hello? Is anybody there?
Ok, so I need two things from you: 1) inbound links, and 2) I need you to read my posts, poems and articles. Mentioning me to your agent/publisher/magazine friends wouldn't hurt either. Hmmmm...what if I could get inbound links from agents', publishers' and magazines' websites? That would rock!
In case you wondered, yes, I did just down a 20 ounce iced latte (that's 3 shots of espresso), and I'm feeling a bit frenetic. I'll do you a favor and not post once I've settled down. It's more fun this way.

Okay, I'm in! I just don't know how. Is this a pyramid scheme? (Fingers crossed.) My training wheels are falling off and there are still so many things for me to ask... oh, help! Oh, bother!
