Tips To Increase Website Traffic Posted By : Carson Danfield

LSI is Good News for Online Marketers Posted By : Carson Danfield
If you've been building or promoting websites for any length of time, you know how important it is to your business to have your website show up near the top of the search engine results page for your keywords. You also know what a chore it can be to achieve and keep those elusive top search engine rankings.
LSI - What and Why Posted By : Carson Danfield
What is LSI? LSI, or Latent Semantic Indexing, is one of the latest weapons that search engines use to rate websites in order to provide searchers with the best possible search experience. LSI algorithms evaluate the overall theme of a website, placing emphasis on quality and freshness of content. A great deal of importance is given to the way a website is constructed and internally linked. Preference is granted to those sites which have relevant content pages that are generally cross-linked.
Review: In the Shadow of the Moon
[This just in: Bob and Joel yammering at bloggingheads.]
[My article in today's Style section.]
Now, finally, we know what it was like to walk on the moon: unbelievably cool. Amazing. Fantastic. Scary. Forget all the engineering miracles: "In the Shadow of the Moon," which opens today, is a documentary that tells the human story of the astronauts who, decades ago, journeyed to an airless desert world nearly a quarter of a million miles away.
The stars of the film are 10 of the Apollo astronauts, the survivors of that great adventure, and they're total charmers. They're filmed in tight, high-def close-up, speaking directly into the camera. At first I found it a bit hard to distinguish one white-haired white guy from another. But their personalities emerge, and they all have gobs and gobs of that "Right Stuff" stuff.
Among the most winning is Alan Bean, from Apollo 12, who even now seems astonished that he walked on the moon. He also says something you don't expect to hear an astronaut say: That spaceflight is scary. He would look at that little window in the space capsule and tell himself, "If that window blows out, I'm dead in about a second."
And here's Mike Collins, reaching the gantry at Cape Kennedy where the huge Saturn V rocket -- looking like a giant bomb -- is poised to ignite and blast him off the Earth: "Suddenly, there's nobody there. You think, God, maybe they know something I don't know."
Edgar Mitchell relives for us the moments when he stomped around the moon's powdery gray surface: "Wow, what am I doing here? It was a different world. . . . Unbelievable. Unbelievable."
Charlie Duke: "The moon was the most spectacular, beautiful desert you could ever imagine."
The moon program has so often been a technocratic tale. Astronauts were stock heroes, by and large. This film shows them full of awe and wonder. Astronaut Dave Scott suggested to one of the producers that now would be a good time to round up the surviving Apollo crew members and record their thoughts. And so we learn that someone who visits a harsh, lifeless world will experience a new view of life here on Earth. "Boy, we're lucky to be here," Bean says. "Why do people complain about Earth? We are living in the Garden of Eden."
The archival footage -- remastered, we're told by the studio, and some never before used -- is mind-blowing. One shot, of a rocket booster separating and falling back toward Earth, is so arresting and beautiful that I couldn't
Debris Fields
Surveying the full sweep of my life I see an array of debris fields. Some are, of course, intangible and symbolic, the result of human error, miscalculation, and the propensity of so many people to fail to appreciate my many virtues. I'm not passing the buck here: I take full responsibility for my overestimation of the abilities of those around me.
That said, most of the debris fields that I refer to are quite literal, in the sense that they're piles of paper that seem to spontaneously appear in my wake. There are old notebooks, press releases, magazines, printouts, books, medical forms, business cards, phone lists, receipts, random jotted scribblings.
What do I see when I look at my desk? Flotsam that dreams of someday becoming jetsam.
I need to pack up the current bunker in anticipation of my move into the Post radio studio where I'll begin my new job as "National Enterprise Reporter," each word of which is a surely an exaggeration of increasing absurdity.
The problem with my desk is not that I suffer from clutter. No, it is that I suffer from too small a desk. There would be no sense of clutter if my paperwork could spread out and find its natural equilibrium and spaciness on a desktop of roughly, let's see...hold on, I am doing the calculation .... 3,722 square miles.
Mostly I'd like to jettison everything and go hardcore ascetic: Become a man who has no desk at all, no paperwork, no computer, nothing tangible, just the ideas in his head and the song in his heart. In fact, skip the ideas: Too much work. And the song would be a quick little ditty, or maybe, at most, a 2.5-minute pop tune, originally released as a 45, like "I'm a Believer."
One of the complications of my new job is that I've decided to stop writing, on principle. That principle, in case you're wondering, is that the moment the writer has an "audience" the work in question becomes contaminated. I tried to explain this to Bob in the Bloggingheads thing we did yesterday (here's the link) but he probably wasn't listening.
It's best to keep one's thoughts to oneself. Particularly since readers often fail to grasp the actual meaning of what I had originally intended to say.

Qualcomm Drops Day Casebeer From Nokia Case
Qualcomm Inc. has dropped Day Casebeer Madrid & Batchelder from a patent infringement dispute against Nokia. It's the second time mobile-phone chip giant Qualcomm has severed relations with Day Casebeer since both the company and the law firm admitted to committing a massive discovery breach in a patent case against Broadcom Corp. A federal magistrate judge will hear testimony next month from attorneys involved in that gaffe and will decide whether to impose formal sanctions.
Reprimand Sought for Attorney Who Wrote Scare Letter to Ethics Grievant
When an attorney-client relationship turns nasty and litigation seems imminent, is it OK for the lawyer to send the kind of aggressive letter that attorneys sometimes write to scare off potential adversaries? The answer is no, according to the New Jersey Disciplinary Review Board. The board recommended a reprimand for lawyer Harry Levin, who warned a client that he would ask a judge to send her to a psychiatrist if she pursued an ethics grievance against him.
Latham Tops Calif.'s Prestigious Firms in Associate Survey
California associates have voted, and they agree that Latham & Watkins is the most prestigious firm to work for in the state, according to the newest Vault rankings. Ora Fisher, Latham's Silicon Valley office managing partner, chalks up the positive results from associates to several causes, including "the quality of work we get." But while Latham associates weren't surprised the firm got top billing in the Golden State, they were surprised by the all-around glowing review of being an associate at Latham.
How Associates Become Rainmakers
By the time most law firm associates have reached the senior level, they've developed the technical skills and proficiency necessary to be good lawyers and the personality traits necessary to please clients. The associates who are able to use these qualities to bring in new business, as opposed to simply completing the work assigned by partners, are much more likely to become partners themselves one day. So, how does one make the transition to rainmaker? Consultant Monica Goebel has some tips.
What's GCs' Biggest Beef With Outside Counsel?
Running corporate legal departments is as much about business as law, and outside firms who want to represent them had better understand that, according to four GCs who spoke last week at the Federal Bar Association convention. One thing all four agreed on was their biggest frustration with outside counsel: not understanding their business pressures. "You'd be amazed at how many law firms will make a pitch and never ask a question about our business," said UPS GC Teri Plummer McClure.
9th Circuit Judges Define Moral Turpitude
Critics pan the 9th Circuit for all kinds of reasons, but if there's one thing above reproach, it's the court's nuanced view of moral turpitude. The court has been known to engage in long, esoteric debates on what Merriam-Webster defines as "inherent baseness" or "depravity." On Wednesday, the definition settled here: Drunken driving isn't turpitude. Drunken driving without a license is. That's the stark message resident aliens will have to keep in mind, because moral turpitude is grounds for deportation.
Judge Rejects Fee Totaling Two-Thirds of Settlement
A New York federal judge has denied an attorney's attempt to bill a client for legal fees totaling nearly two-thirds of the amount of a settlement the client reached with a municipality over an aborted drug-dealing case. Attorney Kevin A. Luibrand, who has filed a notice of appeal with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, said he has "never seen" a situation where a judge has imposed legal fees based on the one-third contingency standard when an attorney was working on a retainer agreement.
How Are Lawyers Like Firefighters? Let the Chief Justice Explain It to You
Chief Justice John Roberts on Thursday compared attorneys to firefighters, telling a law school gathering at the University of Montana that both have to jump into tough situations to contain problems. Roberts noted that both firefighters and lawyers are viewed as "a little bit nuts" and have a strong sense of camaraderie. "If you are in the law simply to make a living, you are not likely to find it rewarding," he told the audience.
2nd Circuit Rejects All-Male Fraternity's Bid for Official Recognition
The College of Staten Island can enforce its non-discrimination policy by barring from campus facilities a fraternity that does not admit women but holds events at mixed-gender venues such as strip clubs. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court for applying the wrong standard and said the fraternity's "interests in intimate association are relatively weak" while the City University of New York college's policy "serves several important state interests."
Case of Pet-Ridden House Nudges Law on Setting Aside Foreclosure Sales
In a rare defeat for caveat emptor in foreclosure sales, a New Jersey judge let a winning bidder cancel the $2.6 million purchase of a house because 142 foul-smelling dogs and cats -- some living, many dead -- were found on the premises. The damage from animal feces and urine was so bad that the house was condemned. Even so, letting successful bidders wriggle out of paying for foreclosed property is so uncommon that Judge Peter Doyne resorted to a 70-year-old precedent to support his ruling.
Yet Another DOJ Official Departs
Regina Schofield, assistant attorney general for the Office of Justice Programs, is leaving the Department of Justice on Sept. 28. Schofield is one of more than a dozen high-ranking Justice officials who have called it quits this year. Most left under a cloud of suspicion related to the controversial firing of nine U.S. Attorneys, but others -- like Schofield -- are leaving for different reasons.
Kilpatrick First-Years Join the $145,000 Club
Kilpatrick Stockton will raise pay for its first-year associates to $145,000 effective Jan. 1, matching the recent salary increases at Alston & Bird, King & Spalding and several other big firms. The market for first-year pay at Atlanta's big firms was $130,000 before a round of pay raises that started in early August -- the second this year. Pay for Kilpatrick's senior associates will also increase, but those numbers have not been decided yet, according to a co-managing partner.
