Does SEO work on factual websites?
I have a website that displays facts about Boeing’s airplanes. I do not have a internet marketing company. I want to know if there are any websites that offer optimization for factual types of websites, and if they are hacked, or not.
Jere answers:
Here is some simple SEO tips for a site based on displaying facts:
1. Presents the facts in a descriptive manner instead of just phrasing it in 2-3 words.
2. Include the potential search terms in your description. Many times you would skip some words since it is easy for humans to guess, but search engines can’t guess them
For example, see this sentence:
“A big Boeing airplane is 20 tons”
A human can easily figure out that you are talking about the weight of the airplane. But a search engine can’t find that out. If someone search for “what is the weight of a Boeing airplane”, your page will not show up in search results because there is nothing in the content that indicate you are talking about the weight.
If you rephrase the FACT like this, it will bring much more SEO benefits:
“Are you surprised wondering what would be the weight of a Boeing airplane? The biggest Boeing airplane weights about 20 tons.”
See how I inserted some of the keywords like “weight of Boeing airplane” which is the most possible search term?
By following some simple SEO tips, you can promote your site well.

If I own an internet company and we close down do I have to pay out independent contractors?
I own an online marketing company and we are closing down. Do i have to pay out the independent contractors who have made money before it closed down? Or could the company close down and legally not have paid them?
Jere answers:
Although I am an attorney licensed to practice law in California, what follows is not to be construed as legal advice, nor am I in any manner undertaking to represent you in a legal capacity. (Ok…now that the boring disclaimer is out of the way…) The answer to your question depends upon a number of factors including (but not limited to these 3); 1) the jurisdiction in which your business operates; 2) the form of your business entity; 3) the contractual relationship that was formed between the company and the independent contractor. In California, for example, if you formed and operated your business as a limited liability entity (Corporation, LLC or Limited Partnership), you may be able to dissolve the business by filing a certificate of election to wind up and dissolve and a certificate of dissolution with the Secretary of State. You would publish in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where your business is located a notice of dissolution. This step gives vendors one year to file suit to try to collect, as opposed to the four years statute of limitations on written contracts.
If you did not organize as a limited liability entity, it is highly likely that you can be sued personally for the debt. If your contract verbiage provides that the parties to the contract are Company A, a California Corporation, and B Subcontractor, then your contract restricts recovery to the corporation, and the debt would not be recoverable from you personally, unless the prospective plaintiff is successful in piercing the corporate veil. This is generally accomplished by pleading that the business owner and the corporation or llc are a sham and under the alter ego theory if the court decides that equity favors the Plaintiff, you can be held personally responsible for the debt.
William asks…
How do I manage separate Customers in Microsoft Project 2003?
I have Microsoft Project 2003, and own an Internet marketing company. I am struggling with how to manage where each Customer is currently at, task-wise at any given time period, like weekly or monthly. One customer may have been with us for a few months (therefore some specific tasks have already been completed), while a brand new customer is just starting specific new tasks. We have over 20 customers to date.
How in Project do I enter different Customers/Companies with specific tasks assigned to each one? ie. CompanyA, CompanyB, etc.
Ultimately, I’d like to view a weekly report showing each customer, and tasks that have been completed for each customer, and which tasks are still pending completion, to be completed that week.
I’m sure I don’t Create a New Project for each company name, with tasks assigned, correct? Otherwise, it would be extremely tedious opening separate project files to view each customer’s tasks and their standing each week.
Please help…so confusing.
Jere answers:
A couple of assumptions:
1. Each customer would go through the same or very similar set of tasks
2. You would prefer to work with one Microsoft Project schedule as opposed to multiple files (and a Master plan)
Here is what I would suggest.
1. Create a summary task for each customer
2. Under each summary task, insert the set of routine tasks
3. Set up each customer as a Resource on the Resource Sheet
4. Assign the proper customer to the corresponding set of tasks
5. To see who should be working on what, you can use the Filter for and select the proper date range.
Be sure to maintain the % Complete column and keep dates in line with reality.

Richard asks…
What types of personal information do you think should be illegal on the internet?
The amount of data and information about individuals that is stored anywhere on the internet increases every day. Marketing companies gather and sell information about consumer habits and detailed transaction information. Cell phone records can track your calls and also where the calls were made from. Sometimes incorrect or embarrassing information can damage reputations.
Do you think certain information should be illegal for people to find online?
If so, what types of information?
Jere answers:
I don’t think anything should be withheld by law. As long as the government is posting information that is inherently confidential (which they aren’t).
Frankly, I don’t think ease really stops anything if the person or company is determined, it certainly didn’t start any of this. There have always been surveys, our information has always been sold. Anyone having a problem with it should only enter into contracts with privacy clauses.
The problem with fighting to abridge free speech is that you open the door for ANYTHING to be censored. Who exactly decides what’s unnecessary? Embarrassing v relevant information? A gubernatorial candidate in my state plagiarized an article. That’s embarrassing, so it can’t be posted online? It’s damaging his reputation pretty severely. Would he be able to decide whether or not it can be posted? Would you?
See what I mean?
