FalkenTire.com, manufacturer of high-performance tires and wheels is now ranking in the #3 spot on Google for the highly competitive keyword ‘Tire’. This puts Falkentire.com ahead of major competitors such as Goodyear and Michelin. Besides benefiting from a substantial increase in traffic (this keyword produces 13,600,000 Google searches per month), having a first page ranking for such a prestigious keyword helps establish this company in this market and greatly helps develop brand awareness.

The longer I use Wordpress for our blog and other sites I build the more and more I love it’s flexibility and ease of use. From complicated ecommerce sites to simple 10 pages sites for non-techie clients Wordpress’s simplicity makes it easy to teach people how to use and even modify their site without being dependent on anyone.
Here are my favorite plugins that make Wordpress great!
All in One SEO Pack
Provides all your SEO abilities in one easy to use plug-in.
AJAX Comments
Lets users add comments without having to refresh the page using Web 2.0 AJAX goodness.
Askimet
This comes packaged by default with Wordpress but it’s vital you get an API key and activate this plug in, that is unless you want to help spammers sell viagra.
Dofollow
Why let Google outsource it’s quality control to you?? Add the dofollow plugin to remove the “rel=”nofollow” attribute from comments on your site.
Google XML Sitemaps
This tool is great for easily adding an XML Sitemap to your site so Google can better index you, especially if your entire site is built in Wordpress.
Sociable
Automatically adds links to the bottom of every post/page (at your discretion) that allows your users to easily submit and up-vote (hopefully) your content.
Wordpress Back Up Tool
Great tool for people who can’t handle phpMyAdmin for pulling a database backup. (back up early and often!!)
Wordpress Automatic Upgrade
This tool makes it easy to upgrade your site to the latest version of Wordpress without having to play with FTP. Just make sure you back up your site first and navigate to http://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin/update.php after running this to make sure you update your database.
Know any other cool plugins?? Please leave links in the comments.

Haven’t played with it too much but as far as using any of Google’s services (GMail, Reader, etc.) there is a lot more responsiveness and speed.
Hope Google’s Chrome gets a large adoption as other sites could definitely benefit by optimizing themselves for this browser.

Today rumors are spreading across the web claiming that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) have made a bid to acquire Facebook. The rumor, first reported by Zack Klein, cites the churches huge ancestral database (the largest in the US) and the churches vast wealth as a way to validate the rumor as possible.
If this is true (I doubt it) then Mark Zuckerberg should definitely show up Tom Anderson and take the money and run.

In the last week I’ve gotten two lead form fills (I’m assuming their bots confused the form with a blog comment form), a few comments, and lots of spammy emails from throwaway GMail accounts.
Name: Michelle
E Mail : michelle@keywordspy.com
Phone: 01877520-8596
Company : keywordspy
Url: http://www.keywordspy.com
Comments: I found this great adwords tool KeywordSpy.com . I\’m using it and it has really improved my profits. It offers Free trials.- http://www.keywordspy.com/
Ok seriously, how can you say you ‘found’ a great site when your email is coming from @keywordspy.com??
Hello,
I found this great adwords tool KeywordSpy.com for keyword researching & also its affiliate program. It really worked well earning me good profits. They track affiliate keywords on powerful networks like ClickBank, Commission Junction, LinkShare, PayDotCom, ClixGalore, ShareASale, MAXBounty, TradeDoubler, Amazon.
I noticed it when I read many people who use keywordspy are making very good revenue & can see who are the super affiliate, look at the keywords, the ad copies and setup similar campaigns.
In 10 minutes we can have a affiliate campaign setup that is already profitable.
It very useful for tracking what your competitor is doing, tracking all advertisers on Google in over 20 countries.
I could also monitor my competitor’s marking strategies. Therefore KeywordSpy can be used to imporove own PPC campaign by finding better keywords.
We could exchange some more ideas & tools if you have come across.
Thanks,
Jenni.
Wow Jenni, way to name drop all the great affiliate programs this helps you with. I hope they sue you for tarnishing their names by including it in your spam.
So far I’ve seen one other blogger talking about keyword spy’s spamming and I want to see if anyone else is doing this and encourage them to blog about it too.

Tiffany Weller and I made our way out of the South Bay and over to Santa Monica yesterday for some afternoon co-working at the Casa Del Mar before making our way over to the Mahalo office for the Social Media Club. While co-working Brian found out that no one had taken care of getting the drinks (besides soda) so we made our way over to Trader Joe’s to stock up:

As you can see this was vital for a good event and Tiffany was a hit:

The theme for the panel was “A Social Media Primer” and was moderated by Jackie Peters from Heavybag Media and the panel members included social media pioneer Brian Solis and local social media rock stars; Robert Richman, Michael Dorausch and Nicole Jordan.
SMCLA Panel at the Mahalo Offices in Santa Monica
The one question from that panel that really stood out to me was “who owns social media?” Everyone wants to know what section of a company (marketing, pr, customer service). I’m working on a post covering this and it should be posted tomorrow.
Now, the best pic of the night:
Brian Solis, Shira Lazar, and Jeffrey Henderson
