Bob,
This dialogue is regarding what an acquaintance has done to get #1 rankings on Yahoo and Google for his website. Do you know anyone who can sift through this and implement it for ZCI?

Hi Phil:
Thank you for sending your check.
 
The glib answer to my #1 Google ranking is that I am a genius.
 
META is just one small piece of the rankings puzzle.  There's way too much to write about, so call me, and I'll tell you what I know.
 
In the meantime, download the free version of Web CEO.  Run it when you have a few hours to figure out how it works and to tinker with your site.
 
Also, subscribe to the Entireweb Newsletter at:

(find the Newsletter link.)
It often has a very helpful article.
 
About your 50-amp capacity kiln:
Small is a good thing.  I haven't used my 6.4 cubic foot kiln all year.  Everything I've made this year was fired in a tiny 1.4 cubic foot kiln.

William,
 
Thanks.
 
The check I mentioned yesterday did go in the mail today. I'm excited about getting more of your work.
 
I'm curious about something else....What did you have to do to get handspiral.com to come up first in a search on "CRYSTALLINE GLAZE" in both Yahoo and Google? Is it all in the META tags, or is there another trick to it?
<META name="Description" content="Crystalline pottery porcelain. Crystalline-glazed ceramic vases, bowls, platters. Award winning crystal glaze, William Melstrom, Spiral Studio, Texas.">
