Downtown Fullerton Shops

 

Downtown Fullerton embodies amazingly comfortable contradiction that blends the old and new all at once in a unique convergence of college life and history. One of the main train stops during the area’s oil industry days, Fullerton has retained many of its old landmarks from the train station to the police station, not to mention Fullerton College where students arrived in canoes in the hundred year flood of 1938, when most of Orange County found itself flooded. Fullerton shops restaurants and entertainment share a long tradition of blending new and old. The day I took this video, we ate at Rutabegorz, established 40 years ago and still serving up 70s fare in a 90s environment- solar powered. Plummer Auditorium finished up the night in an excellent dress rehearsal of Brigadoon. Shot with the new Canon 550D T2i, which I’m still learning. The creative modes are every bit as varied as you expect from an SLR camera.

Temecula 2010 Annual Sidewalk Art Weekend

Every summer, the sidewalk artists of the Temecula area gather and put their chalk down to the pavement and produce a cornucopia of styles, colors and themes in art in Old Town. This year is shaping up to please the crowds. Artists from six to way more than six produce their work today and tomorrow. Some are shaping up to be stunning renditions and sure to please, while others had their place but had not shown up by time I left at 2PM.

How I Got From Page 35 to Page 1 in Four Days | SEO in Orange County

This is a followup on my previous blog entitled How I Went From Page 35 to Page 3 in Fifteen Minutes – Orange County SEO


In the post, I cited the importance of the Title tag on a website and the difference it can make in a hurry. I had a photography website that I had neglected and let languish for months. I’ve been focused on many SEO projects and just didn’t bother with the photo website. Frankly, I’d been getting exposure for my side-work of photography through my real estate contacts and YouTube videos on my photography.

This website had ranked on page one for “Orange County Photographers” until I decided to abandon the position and really convert davekeys.com to what it should be, an SEO and web strategies focused website.

Last week I was reviewing in my ADHD way, lots of things and gave the photography angle a quick look and noticed my website, Pennycafe.com had dropped out of sight. Where was that website?

Page 35. Yep, almost as if “penalized” by Google. Taking a closer look at things, I noted that the title wasn’t very specific and decided to streamline it, and to be honest, I swapped the theme for one a little less “noisy” and, finally, added a new post (a photograph and a few lines about it).

I’m guessing the real difference was the title text. It usually is.

caveat: you might read this, and check for ranking, my ranking for orange county photographers may appear page two because that’s the nature of a new changes in competitive SERPs and results vary by whatever Google datacenter you may query. As I cited previously on my “page 3″ post, the position today or tomorrow is relatively unimportant compared to long-term placement and the dramatic shift achieved by simply adjusting the website title.
