These days there is an ever important need to consider the environment, and I have been amazed at the amount of information that is beginning to appear on the internet. Green everything I tell you, green this and green that! But one specific topic struck me, green communities.
Yes, green homes, and eco-friendly communities, or Sustainable Communities are slowly making a presence. No, I do not mean the homes are the color green, although I guess they could be, but the materials, construction, and most everything that is put into building the home is either made, or built using green standards.
I found a great article highlighting green communities and social sites dealing with this idea.
But I have been wondering after searching the internet, where can you find green communities and home sites? Well, I did find one site called Green Eco Communities, an up-start site just getting off the ground, and it appears they will showcase these types of communities according to states. Related to this, I also happened across this squidoo lens on green communities.
Stay tuned for updates on this topic, I think Green is here it stay!

Update! I just set them up with a blog, called Green Eco Voice, it’s focus is to keep up to date on Green Community Developments. For a good summary of the future of these types of communities, this Sustainable Communities Knol does a good job at explaining this.

Yes. Months back Google layed the hammer down on Squidoo for not administering punishment, or at least addressing a persistent issue of spam, and spammers. Well It seems that Squidoo is back in the graces of at least Google! I have been amazed at how simple it is to create a search engine friendly Squidoo page, that actually gets decent page rank. Take a look at my personal internet marketing company lens, although it’s only got a PR of 2, it will surely rise. Often I see referral links in my logs too. You should give it a try.
Currently I have other lenses I am testing out, for example the one I created for Fairway Living Golf Communities. Their lens revolves around golf homes, golf real estate and communities in the United States, but since it is so new, I cannot give an accurate assessment. But take a look at it, I even made a neat poll for visitors to use!
While you are at it, here is another test lens very closely related to Fairway Living, it was created for waterfront communities for sale in North Carolina, Mason Landing Yacht Club! Stay tuned for PR baby!

Awhile back I posted an article on Squidoo, and the power it can provide, take a look and start your own Squidoo lens today, it will no doubt pay dividends down the road with decent page rank!

If there were ever any questions as to the effectiveness of press releases, take a look at this. The national and local Budget Blinds website received a new site design, so the Wilmington Budget Blinds issued a press release announcing this. Well, not only does this PR appear for local results with a variety of phrases, but it also appears on page two for the primo phrase, “Budget Blinds”. Who knows, this release could move on up in the ranks and sit right next to the corporate site….
Why not try a press release, they work!

She happens to be a colleague of mine actually. I do not call her a ‘broad’ in a negative sense, this is just what she has named her blog, Broad and Reel.”. You see, her passion is fishing, yes I said fishing…with a pink vest. In fact her motto is “for all woman who fish and wear pink.” I am thrilled to see individuals pursue their passion in life through the pages of a blog, especially hers. She forges ahead in boundaries once only held by shallow thinking men, but I say press on “Broad”, show all men and woman there are no boundaries when it comes to fishing, or even wearing a pink fly-fishing vest. Check out the chronicles of her life of fishing, you’ll appreciate it as much as I did!

I was reading an excellent post talking about how to pool resources if you have multiple services, that is to create mini websites that focus only on those services or products, check out the post over at Red VW Bus.

Power Of Multiple Websites Under One Business

No, I personally do not like squid, perhaps to use for fishing, but Squidoo I do like! What is it? 

Well, it is sort of a personal blog slash web site thingy, a place where you can place your authority information, life’s issues, products, and much more.  If you are a professional in a trade, business, or just want to rant about something, create a Squidoo account and start several “lenses”.  What is a lens?  These are essentially individual web pages that you create on a variety of subjects, focus, and or products you want to advertise. 

Honestly, It is kind of hard to tell you exactly every feature of this cool product, so below are two lenses I made for the my Internet marketing business.  These lenses (pages) are still evolving, but you get the idea. 

I would like to add that Squidoo is a phenomenal way to not only market yourself or your product, but it delivers incredible page rank, and visitors to sites that link to you, and your Squidoo page.  In fact, notice what a recent article from Seo-News.com said about the possible SEO affects.

“One important facet of your Squidoo lens is that it could be listed on Google, or any of the other search engines, for your major keywords, and you should not lose sight of any promotional techniques that provide you with free exposure on search engines.”

I say give it a try, then ping all the social bookmarking sites (buttons appear right on the Squidoo page) You have nothing to lose, and TRAFFIC to gain!

Here are my Squidoo lenses:
