Halloween Costumes. Norm has been a busy beaver. Besides my Internet Marketing Training pages on GetCalhoun.com which are receiving a flood of views from around the nation, I also decided to upgrade my Halloween Costume presence.

But then I ran into a snag. Sort of. I got hit by a big "uh oh" about 2:30 this morning.

I think my Halloween Costume pages on GetCalhoun.com are pretty nifty, and they get a lot of hits, but, since Halloween is running neck and neck with Christmas, I thought I could go one better.

So, I have been working on what I thought was a major page revision to modernize and update the appearance of said pages.

What occurred to me way too early this morning was that the revision might overwhelm GetCalhoun.com in ways that might or might not enhance the whole durned website.

As of this writing there are about 15 or so pages devoted to Halloween Costumes on GC. The revision would take it to more like 600+. Pretty big change, wouldn't you agree?

So, I decided to just chicken out and leave my already popular Halloween Costume pages on GC intact and instead, put the new effort on a new standalone website. Boohoo on that, because GetCalhoun.com is so POWERFUL about getting pages indexed. But no matter. It might take a little longer, but I'll put it over......

The website is called, "HalloweenHome.net."

Halloween Home. Now that's a GREAT domain name! Dontcha think?

I'm kinda excited about the prospects. I'm not going to link it here in this, because I have yet to upload the site. Oh, but I will link later. The GC blog is a wunnerful place to get link juice.

Selling Halloween Costumes is a challenge in that the market is already saturated...but of course can always use more and better. Secondly, it's a SEO (Search Engine Optimization) nightmare. BooKoo competition.

But I think I'm up to the challenge. Certainly, setting out to dominate Halloween on the Internet is a bit presumptuous....but then, I'm presumptuous. It may not do much for you, but getting to the head of the line with millions of competing pages is a rush not unlike eating a Wendy's triple. If my high blood pressure meds hold out, I'll be dancing a jig one of these days at the search engine positioning soon!

Happy Halloween!

Norm

PS... Moral to the story... I have ample proof for you that I can get pages to the top. What I do for me....I will do for you. Check out my Internet Training and Marketing pages on GetCalhoun.com.

Coupons Alabama - Coupons and Coupon Codes on GetCalhoun.com is the name of my Coupons Page on GetCalhoun.com.

I have access to tons and boatloads of coupons for just about everything you can imagine. The coupons are changed out all the time. But that is not why I write.

Sadly, my video went poof. Yes, Coupons and Coupon Codes on GetCalhoun.com was billed as the most unique coupon code place in the entire world because of my live deer cam featuring a live shot from somewhere in Arkansas 24 hours a day. How many coupon pages have a live deer cam on it? Why would they even want one?

Well, the video was purloined from ESPN. I and a few other sites grabbed their video feed to use on our own sites. I really thought I was unique until the feed went black and I started looking around.

Naturally, the other sites were outdoorsy type places....and wouldn't know a coupon code if it bit them. So, in that regard, Coupons and Coupon Codes on GetCalhoun.com was pretty unique.

Alas, ESPN decided one fine day recently to get out of the outdoors business and back strictly to the team sport business. It's maddening! I LOVED that deer cam. But, we have to learn to let go of the things we love from time to time.

So...in an effort to put something...anything...in the way of video back on the page, I discovered a purely delightful little vid about the Russian Home Shopping Network. It is called, appropriately enough, "russian home shopping network." It seemed to me to be the right thing to do.

You will want to click on the link at the top, go visit, buy a few things, and tell ALL your friends about it. It's a real good thing!

Survival Information is one of my websites that I have worked hard for search engine optimization to get a better result on Google. It looks like the work is paying off.

Last evening, I noticed that it had moved up to position #7 from position #9 on the first page of Google for the phrase, "survival information."

This is a remarkable thing for a number of technical reasons that I won't mention. But I will say that it is on page one of a search phrase that gives About 146,000,000 results. Getting on page one of Google with competition like this is in the very upper strata of getting a website found. I do these things on a regular and predictable basis.

Please don't look on this as bragging. I mean, it is bragging, but you don't have to look at it that way. Heh heh.

What I do for myself, I can do for you...or even teach you to do for yourself. If you have ANY aspirations to be one of those people who sit around the kitchen table all day long making money from the Internet, you MUST visit my Internet Marketing Training pages and TAKE ACTION.

Angie's List Reviews is one of my oldest affiliate accounts on GetCalhoun.com. I'm pretty proud of this one because it demonstrates the power of GetCalhoun.com outside the area. Nationwide my Angies List pages come up VERY often for typical searches for Angies List. Hundreds of searches, and most on the front page of Google, Bing, and Yahoo, the top search engines.

When my sales fell off I started looking around. Seems like someone had gotten ahead of me with their Angies Coupon. Common sense says folks were going there for a better deal. I would have myself.

So, I got in touch with the affiliate wrangler there at Angies, who is a super guy and secured a better deal. For the longest, I have been offering 20% off Angies, like several other purveyors including all the talk radio guys like Beck, Hannity, Levin, etc. But now, I have secured 25% off. That's a nickel more than 99% of the competition.

You may not be interested in Angies, or you might. The point is that once again, GetCalhoun.com proves to be an industry leader.

How do we do it? We do it through hard work and HONESTY. If anything, I talk too darn much, but I like folks to know where I'm coming from and what they are getting. I don't present the slickest advertising, but I do present the most honest advertising. Hopefully folks will recognize this and respond accordingly.
