Regional Ranking in Google Requires Regional News Clips

You want your North Carolina small business website to rank higher in Google and the other search engines?

Really?

Then put your entire physical street address on the home page of your company website.

That is the number one biggest, most egregious omission that most small business websites make... well, the business owner typically has no clue what should or shouldn't be on their website. Usually a business owner is at the mercy of a web designer.. or worse... a web DEVELOPER (more money).

What is the difference between a "web designer" a "web developer" and a "search engine optimization contractor"???

• Web designers make pretty webpages for human consumption in mind... they are (usually) oblivious to the concept of making that same webpage Google Friendly.
• Web Developers are web designers on steroids... "develop" usually translates into fancy databases and database driven hi fallutin shopping carts and complex stuff like that... again, these people are thinking they are supposed to keep humans happy... and make serious, really big.. really BIG Google mistakes. Why? because they're targeting the wrong audience... they've got the cart before the horse.
• Search Engine Optimization Contractors create web sites that RANK, our target is to please Google...we're who you're supposed to come to FIRST for a website.

After, and ONLY after we've gotten your company website to occupy the Google real estate you have to have if the damn thing is going to pay for itself (let alone put money in the cash register)... then you hire either one of the 2 afformentioned geeks to "pretty up" your website.
SEO contractors are writing code for Googlebots consumption
Web Designers are writing code for Human consumption
big difference.
Now... the topic here was Regional Ranking in Google
Ostensibly you are wanting your North Carolina company website to show up in North Carolina search results... do you.. ya got any current NEWS about NC on your site.
umm, what? did I hear... no?
and what would you like Google to do... ???
You've got to have North Carolina info if you want to rank in North Carolina. Google will NOT take your word for it when you tell it you do buisness in NC.
Way back in the early days of Google, pedophiles would create fake Girl Scout websites, after the Girl Scout site was ranked in Google, they'd change the site and put kiddy porn on it.
really...
So, after getting wise to that (and being embarassed to boot) Google resolved to NOT TAKE YOURS OR ANYONE'S WORD FOR WHAT A SITE IS REALLY ABOUT
towards that end.. below is current news about the great state of North Carolina, can you take a hint? If you'd like me to get YOUR North Carolina company website to PERFORM in Google, send me an email: davidbrucejr@frederickwebpromotions.com

Getting INTO Googlemaps is one thing (not that it's a small thing) but getting your listing to climb higher than your competitors???

That requires science, skill and knowledge of the game.

Knowledge of the algorithim that decides who gets to be #1 in Googlemaps.
you see you can be #1 in the organic listings, you can even have multiple listings in the top 10, I even fill the entire search results page with my clients listings, but that doesn't get you to rank higher in Googlemaps.
Call me and I can get your Googlemaps listing to rank higher

North Carolina Packaged Ice

by Virginia Bullock

We all use ice pretty much everyday but never take the time to think about the quality of our ice. People continuously consume ice without thinking twice about whether it is contaminated or has bacteria in it. If you go to a convenience store to purchase a bag of ice, wouldn't you like to be assured that what you are buying is high quality and safe to eat.

You might not know that..
Ice can easily become contaminated.
Viruses and bacteria are able to survive the cold temperatures of ice.
Psychrophilic bacteria can also survive cold temperatures.
Regulation and sanitary inspections of ice are not required.

Carolina Ice Company ships trailer loads of packaged ice and dry ice everywhere in the United States. This ice manufacturing plant can make up to 220 tons of ice per day. That may not mean much to many of us who do not need bulk amounts but it's comforting to know that in case of a natural disaster or emergency we have access to prime resources such as ice.

Products Offered In-Stock
10 lb. ice bag – 210 bags per pallet
20 lb. Package – 100 bags per pallet
40 lb. Package – 50 bags per pallet
11 lb. Block Ice

Not only does Carolina Ice sell ice but they also supply indoor and outdoor merchandisers to hold ice bags. I'm sure you are familiar with seeing units labeled ice in or outside many local gas stations. Think of how those stores could keep the ice fresh without equipment to store it in. That would be pretty much impossible because the ice would melt before customers could even purchase it.

Indoor Merchandisers
Model 40 Upright Single 28” x 47” Glass Door40 Cubic Feet Capacity – 160 - 7 lb. bags*Outside Dimensions:Width 50 ½”Depth 30”Height 76 ½”1/3 Horsepower Compressor

Model 75 Upright Double 28” x 47” Glass Doors75 Cubic Feet Capacity – 245 - 7 lb. bags*Outside Dimensions:Width 73”Depth 35 ½”Height 76 ½”1/2 Horsepower Compressor

Outdoor Merchandisers

Model 40 Slant Single 27” x 27” Stainless Steel Door40 Cubic Feet Capacity – 130 - 7 lb. Bags*Outside Dimensions:Width 50 ½”Depth 35 ½”Height 68 ¾”1/4 Horsepower Compressor

Model 60 Slant Double 27” x 27” Stainless Steel Doors60 Cubic Feet Capacity – 200 - 7 lb. Bags*Outside Dimensions:Width 73”Depth 35 ½”Height 68 ¾”1/3 Horsepower Compressor

Model 75 Slant Double 27” x 27” Stainless Steel Doors75 Cubic Feet Capacity – 285 - 7 lb. Bags*Outside Dimensions:Width 96”Depth 35 ½”Height 68 ¾”1/2 Horsepower Compressor


Carolina Ice has gained a strong reputation over the years for reliable service and quality products. They even have installed a 400 KW generator just in case electrical service is interrupted so that they can keep production running no matter what. Carolina Ice Company Inc. has firmly established a supply network with ice manufacturers throughout the United States to provide to safety net if their plant is in any way damaged by natural disaster.

Whether mass amounts of purified ice interests you or not, you can see how Carolina Ice Company Inc. is ready to provide ice in any event of disaster when we need it the most.

Pray for Judge John Mull

BURKE COUNTY, N.C. -- A Burke County judge died while saving his son from drowning in the Catawba River. According to WCNC

Family, friends and even people subject to his punishment praised 25th District Court Judge John Mull on Monday.

"He was just a nice judge, family man," said Lola Fleming, who was due in Mull's courtroom Monday.

Mull was having a family get-together on Sunday when he died. Mull, his wife, sons and father were having fun on the Catawba River where Mull was building his dream home.

His sons swam laps in river. His 17-year-old son cramped and yelled for help.

Mull jumped in, told his teen everything was OK, and then gave him a huge push towards shore.

The son made it, Mull did not. Family members pulled him out, but CPR couldn't save him.

Investigators aren't sure if Mull drowned or had a heart attack saving his son.

"It shocked me," Fleming said.

That's the mood Monday in Burke County. If you had a court case, Judge Mull was the man you wanted to hear it.

"He was the most fair judge around here," said defendant Marshall Evans. "He would listen to your situation and if things had changed and your circumstances have changed he would understand the reasons why you did what you did."

"He treated everybody the same -- with respect. It didn't matter if it was defendant or victim," said Bailiff Shane Brown.

Family members say Mull died the way he lived -- listening, helping and saving.

Other judges are filling in until Gov. Bev Perdue assigns Mull's replacement. The seat will be up for election next year.

I found this story on Twitter and followed the link to the WCNC article. Our hearts go out to the family of Judge Mull. Pray for them.
