06 MacMate
For the hundreds of thousands of iWeb sites out there, this a big
day: Now those sites can be found. Search Engine Optimization at the
fundamental level requires three simple things for search engines like
Google and Bing to rank a website: A page Title, a description and
some keywords. They then compare these to the content, titles, site
links and external backlinks of a website in order to get a feel for
what the site is about and how to rank it for various keywords and
phrases.

crucial to organisational leadership, whilst 26% felt it might be. In

15 Quotes: from Kennedy, and Anonymous
"When written in Chinese, the word crisis
is composed of two characters.
One represents danger,
the other represents opportunity."
John F. Kennedy
People with extraordinary minds, talk about ideas.
People with average minds, talk about events.
People with simple minds, talk about other people.
