Duplicate website content… This is a simple concept, mostly misunderstood and easily fixed. I’m going to approach this from a few perspectives and give you the links and tools that can help you.
First, understand that it’s the search-engine’s goal to provide the best search results for the user. While Google, Bing and Yahoo rank website pages a bit differently they all have the same outcome of a positive and relevant user experience. That experience comes from listing unique pages on their search result pages (SERPS).
For this blog posting, I’m just going to use Google as “the search engine”.
Duplicate content generally refers to blocks of text or entire pages that are virtually the same.
Common Sense is such a debatable topic. Some people say you’re either born with it or not. Others, like me, believe that it can be developed.
What do you think? How would you rate your level of common sense? What would your friends and colleagues say?
You might be surprised by their answers, but I’m sure you would agree that many people make things way more complicated than they need to be—both in business and their personal lives. I want to help you add more value, increase your revenues and grow your business. In a new book I’ll be launching in 90 days, I’m going to reveal how you can develop your super power of common sense.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Ford Sakes.
Really though, my name is Saeks… not SAKES, but Google, Bing and Yahoo aren’t smart enough to figure that out yet.
Ford Sakes spells his name Saeks
I’m writing this blog post to help the search engines and new prospects find me, Ford Sakes on the Internet. You see, since I preach that “keywords drive traffic” then unless I create a blog posting with the proper keyword density for “Ford Sakes” then I won’t be found in the rankings.
My name, while spelled F O R D S A E K S, is commonly search for as FORD SAKES.
Other common mistakes in my name are:
Fred Sakes — Common… is having a name like Ford that odd?
Ford Sacks — glad I didn’t have grow up with that name
Fred Sacks — doesn’t sound that good to me.
Ford Saekes — perfect for those that are dyslexic and paid by the letter.
Ford Steaks — Right, like that will work.
and my favorite… Fred Sucks. Really? Who typed that into a database and thought that was correct? At least Ford Sakes makes more sense since that’s how my hame is pronounced… Sakes… as in “For Heaven’s Sakes”
This is really just about my last name… because people search for it as Sakes. I’ve heard all of the funny acronyms for my first name. Imagine what it was like growing up with a first name like Ford. Sakes is the easy part.
And I even have my name “Ford Saeks” trademarked to prevent other people from stuffing their keyword descriptions with my name to generate traffic. Seriously, I did. Hey, I’m a great Internet Marketer, but hardly a celebrity.
Who is Ford Sakes?
I’m a business growth expert, Internet Marketer and CEO of Prime Concepts Group.

Pants on the Ground: What Makes a Video Go Viral Part II
In the last post I talked about the phenomenon Pants on the Ground and other successful viral videos. While he’s on minute 14 of his 15 minutes of fame, Larry Platt got so much press that he now has many more business opportunities. While you may not have the platform that launched Larry Platt’s viral video, you certainly have the same potential for your business.
Last Tuesday, “General” Larry Platt was just another 62-year-old from Atlanta. But on Wednesday, American Idol aired Larry’s tryout performance of his original song, “Pants on the Ground.”
By Thursday, the video went viral and now has more than 500,000 views on multiple accounts on YouTube.
His song is a trending topic on Twitter, his lyrics are on hundreds of Facebook statuses, and he is being interviewed by top T.V. and radio shows around the country. Even Brett Favre was caught doing his best Larry Platt impression. All of this came from the power of a viral video.
So, what is a viral video? Here is a quick peek at the concepts of successful viral videos.
Twitter is everywhere. New Twitter applications, additions, and syndication tools have made communicating your value and creating relationships amazingly simple.
Simple, but not necessarily easy. I’m sure that most of you already have a Twitter account, but are you leveraging it? I only tweet a couple of times a day and I’m not a twitter fanatic, but certainly see the value in growing your followers. Randy Gage, a colleague “@Randy_Gage” has really leveraged Twitter. He sent out a tweet and within an hour he had 150,000 people visit his Prosperity Blog.
Here are a few tips to help you leverage Twitter as a professional.

I’d bet that many of you would classify your efforts with Social Networking as “social NOT working.”
It’s NOT working until you engage in conversations, spread your expertise, and most importantly “add value.” With hundreds of social media sites out there, it’s hard to maintain focus and really add value and stay active on every site.
So, start by focusing your efforts on these top five social media sites. Here is a brief overview.
This is the most popular video content sharing site. If you’re new to YouTube, go get your channel, which is to say go sign up for your account – your account name is your channel name so select it wisely. It’s better to have a keyword phrase or your name than it is to have your name with a number or something obscure. For example, I have a few channels, but my main channel is www.youtube.com/primeconcepts (go subscribe now). I also have www.youtube.com/fordsaeks, but too many people spell my name wrong so I send the traffic to the Prime Concepts channel. There are several other popular video sharing sites each with their own theme, but master YouTube first. Then you can leverage your efforts on other video sharing sites, using sites such as www.TubeMogul.comfor starters. Share value-added content and watch your business grow.
