X-Message-Number: 30088 Subject: RE: [CN] responses to Platt Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:04:11 -0500 References: <> From: "Hare, Tim R" <> Re. the paid advertising discussion point: High 'Cryonics.org' search engine placement in association with keyword searches, can be accomplished by registering multiple web pages, each with different content & meta data, and can be crafted to have high placement in association with related topics on a per page basis, thus allowing one to profile the page that led to the click-through to Cryionics.org; e.g. an impact study. Reciprocal banner advertising for site on a page-specific basis, is also free. Typically these banner networks have content codes to allow user profiles to be mined to expose the ads that are most likely to be of use to the person visiting the site. There are also services focused entirely on a given topic. Examples: The use of content in the meta tabs below isn't optimal, and you'll note that all the pictures at the top of the page generate code that will dilute the page's content. Example: This "<title>The Cryonics Institute Home Page</title>" could be modified to "<title>Immortality: The Cryonics Institute Home Page</title>", for example, and since no one but search engines read it (I rarely glace at the changing title bar in IE), it won't impact the page content or the impression one gets, but it will snag key word searches for "immortality". There are very good books on high search engine placement, which would improve your main (perhaps only, other than word of mouth) source of clients. All this can be done by a high school student for pennies; it's basic HTML search engine tactics. Also, for example, http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLR,GGLR:2 006-04,GGLR:en&q=immortality Brings your site up via the "Prospects for immortality" reference, but on page TWO of Google -- so you may want to diddle your code a bit to get on Google's, page 1. You can leverage your coding by checking out the SOURCE code for the sites that come up on PAGE1, and replicate it in your source code. Do this via "View\Source" in the IE controls at the top of the browser. Finally, swapping links with those sites that DO have top placement will have two effects: 1) it will give you a link form their site so their customers can be your customers, and 2) their link will show on any searches, giving you additional search engine placement.
