Facebook now TOPS Google

by Laura

CNN is now reporting that Facebook traffic had passed Google and in a hurry!

My friend Ryan Deiss predicted this in January and man was he ever right.

Now, Ryan has massed the largest panel of Facebook experts alive today for a live Facebook Bootcamp this Friday--I'm one of them.

Click to see all the details:

You can grab your share of millions of clicks from Facebook in 2011 by hopping on this Bootcamp.

I'll be there, I hope you'll join me. It's actually going to get me out of going shopping on Friday HA!

Join me. Register here:

Have a great Holiday,
- Laura Betterly

 

 

Local Results...Changed

from Site Pro News

Google Local and Map have become a big influence on how people search and get results. We can demonstrate this by searching for 'accountant' and the search result returns a broad list of 'accountants', but perhaps too broad so we tend to search again by narrowing the result - adding a location to the search - 'accountant in city' and the results we see are now closer to home.  Click here to read the whole article.

 

 


Until next time!

Do let us know if we can be of help!

A Kiss...... or?

These were the days before deoderant, preventative dentistry and efficient wart removal.

If you were around in 1919 and came upon the following poster...

I mean… seriously… wouldn’t you just keep drinking?

It was a tough year, but I made it!!!

It was a tough year, but I made it !!!


    
But not everyone is as lucky as I am...... 

- The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined 
credit card in the mail. 


- I ordered a burger at McDonald's, and the kid behind the counter asked,  "Can you afford fries with that?" 


- CEO's are now playing miniature golf. 


- If the bank returns your check marked  "Insufficient Funds," you have to call them and ask if they mean you or them. 


- Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM. 


- McDonald's is selling the 1 /4  'ouncer'. 


- Parents in   Beverly Hills and Malibu are firing their nannies and learning their children's names. 


- A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico . 


- Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting. 


- Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. 


- The Mafia is laying off judges. 


- BP Oil laid off 25 Congressmen. 


- Congress says they are looking into the Bernard Madoff scandal.  Oh Great!!   The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $ 1 .5 Trillion disappear! 


And, finally... 

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, and our bleak future, that I called the Suicide Life line and was connected to a call center in Pakistan .   When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

For all my musician friends ;-)

Subject: Fwd: Dear Abby

Dear Abby,

I am a crack dealer in Beaumont, Texas, who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus.  My parents live in Fort Worth.  One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite.

My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana.  They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas

I have two brothers: one is currently serving a non-parole life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994.  My other brother is Currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three Children.

I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview.  She is a part time "working girl".

All things considered, my problem is this.  I love my fiance and look

forward to bringing her into the family.  I certainly want to be totally

Open and honest with her.

Should I tell her about my cousin who is a musician ?

Signed,

Worried About My Reputation

Hi
I opened the screen door yesterday and my cat got out and has been missing since then so I was wondering if you are not to busy you could make a poster for me. It has to be A4 and I will photocopy it and put it around my suburb this afternoon.

This is the only photo of her I have she answers to the name Missy and is black and white and about 8 months old. missing on Harper street and my phone number.
Thanks Shan.

Re: Poster

Dear Shannon,
That is shocking news. Luckily I was sitting down when I read your email and not half way up a ladder or tree. How are you holding up? I am surprised you managed to attend work at all what with thinking about Missy out there cold, frightened and alone... possibly lying on the side of the road, her back legs squashed by a vehicle, calling out "Shannon, where are you?"
Although I have two clients expecting completed work this afternoon, I will, of course, drop everything and do whatever it takes to facilitate the speedy return of Missy.

Regards, David.

Re: Re: Re: Poster

Dear Shannon,
I never said I don't like cats. Once, having been invited to a party, I went clothes shopping beforehand and bought a pair of expensive G-Star boots. They were two sizes too small but I wanted them so badly I figured I could just wear them without socks and cut my toenails very short. As the party was only a few blocks from my place, I decided to walk. After the first block, I lost all feeling in my feet. Arriving at the party, I stumbled into a guy named Steven, spilling Malibu & coke onto his white Wham 'Choose Life' t-shirt, and he punched me. An hour or so after the incident, Steven sat down in a chair already occupied by a cat. The surprised cat clawed and snarled causing Steven to leap out of the chair, slip on a rug and strike his forehead onto the corner of a speaker; resulting in a two inch open gash. In its shock, the cat also defecated, leaving Steven with a foul stain down the back of his beige cargo pants. I liked that cat.

Attached poster as requested.

Regards, David.

Dear Shannon,
Having worked with designers for a few years now, I would have assumed you understood, despite our vague suggestions otherwise, we do not welcome constructive criticism. I don't come downstairs and tell you how to send text messages, log onto Facebook and look out of the window. I am willing to overlook this faux pas due to you no doubt being preoccupied with thoughts of Missy attempting to make her way home across busy intersections or being trapped in a drain as it slowly fills with water. I spent three days down a well once but that was just for fun.

I have amended and attached the poster as per your instructions.

Regards, David.

YEAH, CAN YOU DO THE POSTER OR NOT???? ? I just want a photo and the word lost and the telephone number and when and where she was lost and her name. Not like a movie poster or anything stupid. I have to leave early today. If it was your cat I would help you. Thanks.

Dear Shannon,
I don't have a cat. I once agreed to look after a friend's cat for a week but after he dropped it off at my apartment and explained the concept of kitty litter, I kept the cat in a closed cardboard box in the shed and forgot about it. If I wanted to feed something and clean faeces, I wouldn't have put my mother in that home after her stroke. A week later, when my friend came to collect his cat, I pretended that I was not home and mailed the box to him. Apparently I failed to put enough stamps on the package and he had to collect it from the post office and pay eighteen dollars. He still goes on about that sometimes, people need to learn to let go.

I have attached the amended version of your poster as per your detailed instructions.

Regards, David.

Re: Re: Awww

I know, but that one is cute. As Missy has quite possibly met any one of several violent ends, it is possible you might get a better cat out of this. If anybody calls and says "I haven't seen your orange cat but I did find a black and white one with its hind legs run over by a car, do you want it?" you can politely decline and save yourself a costly veterinarian bill.
I knew someone who had a basset hound that had its hind legs removed after an accident and it had to walk around with one of those little buggies with wheels. If it had been my dog I would have asked for all its legs to be removed and replaced with wheels and had a remote control installed. I could charge neighbourhood kids for rides and enter it in races. If I did the same with a horse I could drive it to work. I would call it Steven.

Regards, David.
