After meeting with my friends (and former colleagues) Ted and Kristin over a few of McMenamin's Finest and some grub, I learned that there is a ton I don't know about the Internet. Along with my growing knowledge about trade show displays and the like, I also have an even greater learning curve when it comes to the medium that helps me "Git R Dun."
It was great catching up with both of them and picking their brains about how to optimize the business and move on up the Google ladder legitimately.
I was also bummed to find out that McMenamin's switched their seasonal beer from the delicious Copper Moon to the somewhat more tart Scarecrow ESB. I guess it could have been worse...they could have switched to a Golden or something like that.
After a couple hours of listening to Ted spout off about SEO and backlinks, not to mention his wife and kids, I decide to then take some notes. His advice was incredible and is already helping me in my quest to get to the top of the Google list with my Web site, Shop For Exhibits. It's always good to keep friendships with those who know more than you about technical issues. It's also good to have a friend that is willing to share his knowledge...just as long as there are a few cold beers in it for him.
I have absolutley no problem obliging him!

The Advent of My Trade Show Display Retail Empire
Being a fan of the english language and loathing mathematical equations, I don't find myself writing as much as I should anymore. It used to be an outlet, like writing short stories and poetry...song lyrics and such. So when I got a new job working for a Web site that sells trade show displays, I figured it would be a good time to document my rise to prominence from the get go.
I'm three weeks late with my chronical, but better late than never. This business is going to be a part of my life...kinda like my family or watching old re-runs of Quantum Leap.
So why would you want to read my stories of peddling banner stands, pop-up displays and hybrid displays? Because I'm going to make it interesting enough. Or maybe I'll just use this blog as an electronic diary.
Who knows.
