New Robert Plant Song!!!

Found this out just now... Robert Plant has a song you can listen to before it's released. It's with his pre-Led Zeppelin band called Band of Joy. Angel Dance is the name of the tune... not too shabby! A little more rocking than the Alisson Kraus stuff... like it so far...

Jeff Martin, formerly of the Tea Party, performing 'The Bazaar' on the acoustic guitar

Caught this from a friend posting it on Facebook, thanks Fal! Jeff has a great voice and is very talented on the guitar. In this performance of an older Tea Party song, he breaks a string and keeps going! Nice work Jeff!

Google Looks at Long Tail Keywords Differently now

People are becoming smarter and smarter when they search online now. Instead of weeding through the search results when performing searches, a more detailed combination of keywords are being entered into their search fields. These are known as long tail keywords and since May 2010, Google is looking at these differently. 

An example of a long tail keyword search:

The average person searching at the research phase will use a competitive generic keyword such as “party dress”. Not long after searching and seeing some high prices they will modify their search to something like “cheap party dress.” Now we are already into long tail keyword territory but it can go further. As the search deepens the searcher realizes that pink is the trendy colour at the moment, or pink is what she fancies wearing on her next night out, so then she is using the long tail keyword “cheap pink party dress.”

If you're interested, read more about it in an article entitled, 'The Importance Of Long Tail Keywords Since The Last Google Algorithm Update' from Site Pro News.
