No point in repeating the keywords, Mary. More important are variations, plurals etc. Also, keywords that are not directly related but leading. My brother in Germany ownes and operates a ski school and is a tour op. His keywords include the obvious such as skiing but also "Alpes", "Canada", "France" and the names of the ski villages he takes his groups to. So in other words I would be including anything voice-over related, my name, "commercials", "narration" etc but also "MP3" (not the best example...) and other less obvious keywords to throw a wider net if you will. And don't forget to have your keywords on EVERY page of your site.



Best,

Bernard

You have an option to stay signed in on this board.




I was taking that 'mysterious guest' approach. Adding a little excitement to the thread......"Who is that man?"



:roll:



or not.



Actually, I was using my laptop and I guess the cookie had expired or died or whatever happens to those little biscuits on my hard drive. I hope it didn't leave any crumbs. Why do Americans call them cookies anyway? I mean biscuit cookies, not....er....computer cookies.



It's 5:30 am in the morning and I've been up for an hour with a screaming baby.....you can tell can't you?

Did you cut-and-paste that or did you actually type it all out? I will be most impressed if you did Laugh



So, that leads to the next question;



What do you call a biscuit? I heard that it's really a scone. Or is that a muffin?Confused



When I worked on the Iron Chef program, dubbing was sometimes a nightmare because there were always things that we had trouble translating.

American "biscuits" are really scones. Or scones are biscuits. Muffins are something completely else. Not as much butter, and they've got more sugar.



Now, go get a table somewhere and we'll get back to discussing internet marketing! Smile

Good God-- It was mostly cut-and-paste. I did tweak some of the abbreviations, though. You're impressed anyway, I can tell.



Re: "biscuits" :

for us Yanks, a biscuit is just a plain, flaky, fluffy baked thing. They used to make 'em with lard.





a scone is kinda like a biscuit, only sweeter and usually has stuff mixed in it:





A muffin is more cake-like, but isn't a cupcake. It's fluffier most of the time.





Dang, now I'm hungry.

Hi there,



I was studying your meta tags and found that I don't understand what "DC" means?



Can you expound please...

Connie,



"DC.whatever" stands for "Dublin Core" of the "Nordic Metadata Project" which is a standard by which metas are organized and easily generated: http://www.lub.lu.se/cgi-bin/nmdc.pl



As an example click on the "short and simple template" button. It just makes life a lot simpler and you will be sure not to have forgotten any tags an SE may be looking for.



Best,

Bernard
