Google's Plus One button is a Facebook-like button appearing in Google SERPs and ads for signed-in U.S. users, and the PageSpeed Labs beta tool helps prioritize webpage speed improvements.
if a hundred of my social connections like this one thing, like this one plumber in Houston, and I search for a Houston plumber, there's a good chance that that plumber will be there.
We discuss the new Google +1 (plus one) feature and the possible impact it may have on SEO and Search Engine Results pages.

The Plus One button is Google's equivalent of the Facebook like button. It appears in Google SERPs, on ads, and on select websites. Users must be signed into a Google account to see and use it. Clicking it turns the button blue and adds the result to the Plus Ones tab on your Google profile.
Google had not explicitly confirmed that Plus One votes affect SERPs at the time of this episode. However, the hosts expect Plus One data tied to social connections will eventually influence results, similar to how Twitter retweets were already appearing in Google search results.
Go to pagespeed.googlelabs.com, enter your URL, and the tool will audit your page. It categorizes recommendations as high, medium, or low priority. High priority items include optimizing images and minimizing redirects, which offer the largest performance gains for the least development effort.
According to the hosts, list items may be slightly more SEO friendly because search engines give special consideration to lists. However, for presenting a price chart clearly, using a table is more effective. They suggest using a table header row and experimenting with placing an H3 tag inside that header.
High priority are suggestions that represent the largest potential performance wins for the least development effort. You should address these items first.

And welcome to the SEO Podcast, Unknown Secrets of Internet Marketing. What's up, everybody? Welcome back to another fun-filled Friday. We took a week off, and we are ready to rock and roll today. We're back, unlike the federal government. That's right. Well, like Arnold said, they'll be back. Yeah, for real. It still won't have fixed anything. In some cases, still, unfortunately. Yeah, thanks. You are listening to podcast number 102. This is the most popular SEO podcast on iTunes. That is because of you. Let me slide this over for you just to make sure we've got some balance here. That was probably a loud drop. Thanks to you, we're the most popular SEO podcast on iTunes. I just got back from Panama last night, and I had the most horrific drive on a freeway ever here in the U.S. after I got back. Oh, but you've only had like two drives, though. Exactly. But it was ever. Driving in Panama is absolutely insane. It's just bizarre, psychedelic, unbelievable. We actually got pulled over in Panama on the way to the airport yesterday in the morning. It was like the classic. You know the James Bond where the dude's on the motorcycle that goes off-road and on-road? Oh, yeah. And then there's a dude with an AK-47 on the back, like all bouncing around, and you're like, I hope he's got the safety on. So we got pulled over by one of those. Wow. Yeah, they turned around, and I'm like, I don't know if I should pull over. And then he points at me in my mirror and says, pull over. Apparently, the windows were too dark. Oh, okay. And they had recently arrested another criminal in a Honda CR-V. So I don't know the logic, which is- Oh, you were in a CR-V? And we were in a Honda CR-V, which is today must be criminals in- Well, if you have dark windows in a Honda CR-V, and that guy did, you must be with him. Obviously. So I had to roll down the windows and
hear my babies in the back with their bobbled. Looking at the cop. Anyway, that was another fun experience. I am excited today because it's been a while, and we have- Look what I have in my hand. Oh, a review. That's what's up. We have a review on iTunes, so we'll be getting to that here shortly. You can stalk us. You can follow us. You can contact us. Contact us at podcast at e-webstyle.com. Stalk us both at twitter.com slash e-webstyle, facebook.com slash e-webstyle, youtube.com slash e-webstyle. Stalking's not so good on YouTube. And you can actually see our videos, and we do have a couple of cool videos and some cool stuff. We've got lots of information to go over. As usual, last podcast, we have a tip. And last podcast was podcast number 101, so we went back. We did the basics. We thought that was appropriate. The tip is check your SEO fundamentals quarterly. I was trying to put those words together. All right. Let's get to it. A little bit of news. Apparently, I go away for a week, and the federal government decides to shut down. You said never go away. I'll never go away again. Or I'll go away immediately after it shuts down. So the news was federal websites may also go down. I wonder how that works. So if we were hosting... There goes your link juice. If we were hosting a website for the federal government, we probably wouldn't shut them off that day, because they're paid up, prepaid. But I don't know. That's interesting. Do the lights go out? Like when the federal government shuts down, do the lights turn off? That's a good point. Hey, I'm going to go work on Saturday. Oh, I couldn't work. The lights were out. Yeah. That's a little bizarre. I like this. HTC profits triple because of smartphone sales. Android? HTC. Yeah. I will. Specifically the Evo. Yeah. I'd say, you know, I've had an HTC phone since 2008, and I probably won't get all of it. I like their phones.
They make really good phones. They're awesome. Even my last Microsoft phone was an HTC. The phone was good quality. Yeah. My first was a Windows. My first HTC was a Windows, and it was... It will be your last Windows. Yes. I will not get another Windows. I'm tempted. The marketing is really good, right? You're looking at it. It's got that simple screen and the numbers. You're like, I'm not going to touch it. Sorry. It's not Android. Sorry. No. You're going to have to... Your marketing is going to have to triple or something to get me back. So, in addition to a review, actually, one of our listeners, Darren, created a QR code That was very cool. for us. So, Darren, thanks. Shout out on that. You can find that at Facebook. We've got some really cool stuff over at Facebook. I don't remember any of it right now. There's some photos of you eating Latino ice cream. Yeah. It was off the chain. And a picture of a margarita when we went to the restaurant around the corner. All right. Here we go. So, this is... That's awesome. I read that and I was like, is that really who that's from? I didn't know that even existed. Yeah. Me either. Websites for blind people. It's Steve Dale, myblindbiz.com. He's in Mission Viejo, California. And he has written... This is... Does that say butt itch? Yeah. Wow. Hold on a second. At first, I thought, what a bunch of clowns. Join the club. Yeah. We can't really deny that. But after a few podcasts, I got it. They actually enjoy what they do for a living. They actually like internet marketing. Fortunately, so do I. Occasionally, they make your butt itch. In a healthy way. I don't... Is that just... I'm not even... I'm just gonna... I don't even know. I just got a picture, you know, that when dogs will scoot across the carpet. That's our listeners. Darren, there's an image for you. Our listeners scooting across the carpet like a dog. They have pushed
me to grow in my internet marketing business. I've been forced to look at some areas I don't do so well and admit I can't do it at all. They have exposed me to the concept of a team. Thanks, guys. They seem to have the pulse of the industry in their studio. They harmonize like a well... This is amazing. Well-crafted auto-responder. Oh, that's so cool. They flow like a viral video. Charles, you're gonna have to steal that one. They flow like a viral video. I don't even know what half that means, but it sounds good. And you can't turn off... Oh, a viral video you can't turn off. And they monetize like an AdSense for weight loss on page one. Oh, that's what's up. I actually do know what that means. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. You just pretend it. Didn't you just dumb down the analogies? It's good. Wow. Steve Dale, thank you so much. It's myblindbiz.com. We're gonna check that out. I'd like to know what you do in that. Yeah. I didn't know that... I always thought that kind of blind people got the short end of the... They got the shaft when it comes to the internet. Well, I know that pages, when they're written properly, even Charles was kind of pointing out to me that the proper way to write some pages is for... So that it can be read and so the links are obvious, you know, where you can click and everything. So that is what's up. Thank you so much, Steve Dale. And I'm done. I'm gonna go sit down and you can... That's what's up. Well, all right. So today we're gonna talk about something that was probably about two weeks old. And if you were listening from out of the United States, this will not pertain to you yet because we're awesome and we get stuff first. We're gonna talk about the plus one button. Plus one. Yeah. If you guys have seen about a week in that... Maybe was it... No, it was last week, I
think. Google rolled out plus one. It was on... As a matter of fact, I first saw this on March the 30th, the 31st. They came out with a plus one button. And then on April 1st, they said we're retracting the plus one button. I think it was... Chuck said he thought it was a prank. But it is back. So you do have the plus one button. And to make a long story short, it is an attempt at Google to have a Facebook like button. That's basically exactly what it is. Here, I printed some stuff from Google. It says... You know, if you think about it, we'd ultimately rather, and so would most businesses, rather be focused on their website instead of, you know, kind of diversifying and having, okay, now we've got a business Facebook page. Some people probably put together a business MySpace page. And if we could consolidate all of that and have it in one place, it actually... There would be some nice benefits. It could make our job easier. Yes. So, and it works just like a like button. Basically, it's... I'm going to kind of paraphrase this from this printout I got from Google.com. It says, you know, use the plus one button to publicly show that you agree with or recommend things on the web. You can... Right now, the plus one button can be on Google. Right now, it's on Google-related sites and on a select few non-Google sites. So, is the plus actually in the SERP or... It will be in the SERP. It will be on websites and it will be on ads. It will be on... On the SERP. Yes. Ah, so you have to be signed in to Google in order for it to be on the SERP. Okay. Because right now... Well, that makes sense. Because otherwise, like, who likes it? Exactly. You know, it's the person who's signed in. Right now, they're only showing the plus one button to a small slice of the U.S. population that is signed in users as
an experiment. And they... I'll get into this later. Are we seeing it? We are not... Well, no. I have not seen one yet. Chuck, have you seen one? Yep, I just did. This is late breaking news. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. E-WebStyle gets the plus button. So, if y'all are wondering, I've never heard of the plus one button or I've never seen it before. That's why. It's only being rolled out to a select group of people. It's called... Basically, it's an experiment. And I'll tell you how you can get on the experiment. Which Google calls every experiment beta. Yeah, basically. So, it's a beta. So, right now, you might see a plus one button for a Google search result, a Google ad next to an article that you're reading on your favorite news site. So, it could be all over the place. Basically, so what happens is when you click the plus one button, it'll turn blue and it'll be added to the plus ones tab of your Google profile. So, right now, if you're in the experiment and you go to your Google profile, you have this tab and you can see like your likes. You can see all your like, all your plus ones that you can see, right? Then you can say... Because like is probably copyrighted patent. Yeah, I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is. Like, after a while, we won't even be able to say like to my friends. No Valley Girl talk anymore. That's 50 bucks. There you go. It's Facebook. So, it'll turn blue and it'll be added to your plus ones tab. And you can manage the plus ones. You don't have to show... You can show the whole world what you like. Excuse me. Your plus ones. You can show only your social connections for your Google profile, your plus ones. Or you cannot show any of your plus ones. It can just be for you. So, they will let you customize it, right? All right. So, to me, this is exactly like the Facebook like. Like, in my
opinion... It has the possibility for some parallels to the Blico. You can report... I think you can report a spam or they've got some option in their surf. So, and they've used that actually to weed out a lot of the Blico search engine. The spam? Yeah. Okay. I mean, it makes sense. You've got all these people. If you've got a reasonable, you know, software that'll go in and analyze the results that people are doing, you know, how many pluses does a certain website have and from what diversity of a group, then it would be actually a really powerful search engine optimization. I mean, search engine results providing tool, right? You know, let's adjust our surf based on how many people actually plus. That's exactly what they're going to do. When I read it, I read it to say that it will affect the surfs, you know? At some point, yeah. Plus, if you, okay, if a hundred of my social connections like this one thing, like this one plumber in Houston, and I search for a Houston plumber, there's a good chance that that plumber will be there. Now, I... Yeah, you're right. It may get as granular as who do the people you are associated with like. Yes. Or, and it may have a more broadcast universal, which is how many people in general like this. So, maybe most people like another plumber, but all of your friends like this plumber, so it's going to make sure that that plumber... Yes. That's interesting. Now, I haven't seen Google explicitly say that the plus ones will affect your surfs. I think probably right now they would say, absolutely, it will never. Yes. And then it might later. That's exactly how I think it's going to go. So, right now they're not doing it, but I think it's a great experiment. I think that it's not, right now, I don't think it's going to take off. I think it has the possibility to really, really take off later. And the reason, Chuck and I were talking
about this. The reason I say this is because I'm signed into my Google account all the time. Right. At home, at work. I am probably, if everyone I know, maybe 5% of those people are signed in. And of those 5%, they're probably all in this industry. Most of my friends and family don't sign into their Google account all the time. They are signed into their Facebook, and they are signed into their email. But as more and more people are signed into Google all the time, I think that this will really catch on. Well, you mentioned you were discussing this with Chuck. Why don't we bring Chuck out, because I also have a question that maybe he knows the answer to. So, while he's heading over here, I'll be formulating my unbelievably brilliant question. Yes. And hopefully not forgetting it. Yeah. What you can also look forward to is, as you like things, this is an excellent opportunity to Google, to stalk you, find out what you like, and show you ads. Yeah. So, this is another great way to them generate more ad revenue. What's happening, Chuck? What's going on? All right, Chuck. So, you were debating with Paul about the plus, about when it's going to be useful. Paul gave us his opinion. What do you think? Well, one thing I think is key about it is, because I just voted, right? Okay. And so, what did you vote for? Well, I did it for a reason, because we're broadcasting. I went to Google. I searched SEO podcast. Right. We came up in the SERPs. Right. Plus One wasn't there. Okay. Right. Right. Signed into Google. Searched it again. Now, our Plus Ones are there. Okay. We're number, you know, three or four in the SERPs for SEO podcast. Okay. Yeah, we rock. And so, I clicked Plus One. Then, it gives you a pop-up window that says, hey, Chuck, you voted Plus One. This associates it with my Google profile. Okay. And so, I'm assuming that if I didn't have a Google profile,
then it would have asked me to create one. Yeah. Right? Although, but when you weren't signed. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Exactly. I mean, because you can have a Google account without having a profile. Okay. You can be signed in, but not have a profile. Yeah. So, everybody who's listening and watching, if you have a Google profile. Which you should, by the way, just for SEO purposes. Exactly. Search SEO podcast, and I'm curious to know what you see. Do you see, like, my Plus One, Chuck likes this, or is it something a little bit more private? Because the message displayed says, Chuck publicly, Plus One, you know, the result. And you can edit that, and you can say, I don't want to show anybody this, or not. Exactly, so I'm curious to get some feedback. So, it is public now. It's public. You can see that. Absolutely. I kind of, this is like, I thought it was kind of weird how, what was it, maybe two, three weeks, no, three to four weeks ago when Google started incorporating Twitter, not updates, but, like, I can see, for example, I went, you go to SEO. Oh, yeah, they had the live. Not the live feed, but, like, you know what I'm saying, like, Chuck tweeted this. Okay, yeah. Right? They started incorporating when people retweet things, like articles. I went to our, I Googled SEO podcast a while back, and Chuck had tweeted something about that page, and it showed a little picture of Chuck, and, you know, Chuck, Mo Serious, or whatever, tweeted this. And I was like, okay, wow, that's pretty cool. Now I can see it. I'd heard about that about a month ago, and I just started to see it maybe a week or two. And now this rolls out, so are we going to see the plus one button, or Chuck plus one this, Chuck retweeted this? I want to know how they're going to kind of balance the real estate on the SERPs with all these different social things. Well, and you
mentioned that it's actually going to go in with the sponsored ads, right, with AdSense, not AdSense, but sponsored ads. It'll be everywhere. It'll be everywhere. There's more room there, right? I think there's a lot of room, right? I mean, because the way it looks is right now, the icon is small, and it's right next to the little magnifying glass on the main search. Oh, so it's at the top. It's like the title tag, the magnifying glass, and then next to the magnifying glass. Okay. The Twitter one is at the bottom. Yes, at the bottom. Exactly. So, you know, next to that title tag, there's space for several more icons. You know, I assume we have plus one that's just the start. So, soon there'll be something else. Buy ads here. Or maybe they'll have to make badges, right? Because your first thought is at some point they're going to say, you know, eight people have plused this site, right? I think it'll be eight plus. Right. Oh, yeah. That's what it'll be. And then at some point, though, a thousand, you can't write it out, so, you know, or a million, so you've got to maybe make some sort of badge or something. Like, that's the way it'll, it'll be at the bottom. Well, how many people, this is an example, how many people have plus one this will be at the bottom? Of the search engine result. Of the search engine result. Okay. But the actual button will be at the top. At the top. Okay. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense. So, that's cool. So, you're probably wondering, hey, how can I get in on this experiment? Yeah, so, I'll sign it to your Google profile, go to beta, and then you have to check a box that says you want to participate in plus one, and then, and then the next time you sign in, it'll do it. And when you can link profiles, right? Now, that's not, is that a Google boost thing, or, so, I think it's totally separate. Totally, like,
each profile is totally separate. Mm-hmm. Is there, is there, is there. Speaking of booths, I haven't even seen the plus one next to sponsored or local ads. I've only seen it with natural. Okay. Yep. Well, here's what you have to have. If you want to get on, follow Chuck's instructions. You must have a supported browser. I assume that's Chrome. Mm-hmm. Did you go in on Chrome? Of course. Okay. Oh, ladies and gentlemen, wait a minute. Chuck uses Chrome now. Yeah, bye-bye Firefox. You know, I mean, look, me and, me and, me and, me and Firefox, we were married, right? Yeah. And, um, it was, it was a long, glorious relationship. It was long, you know, but then, you know, she started tripping. With lots of ad-ins. Yeah, tripping. It was getting freaky relationship. You know, the tripping man, and then the whole time, I had, you know, I had some holiday Chrome, and she gave me her number, you know, and then I called her. And then she was like, look, I can take all your Firefox stuff and make it look better. And so, psh. I'm like your gal on steroids. Deuces. Firefox, what's up, Chrome? And so, immediately, she went to my desktop, to my laptop, to my home PC, to the church PC, you know, so, yeah, I'm, I'm Chrome-y. I love it. I think Chrome is great. So, you gotta be on at least Chrome. I, I, I bet Firefox is in there. Are you guys using, I don't know if Chrome has it, I'm using Firefox Sync, which is an add-in for Firefox. Literally takes passwords and everything, and, uh, um, bookmarks or whatever they're called in Firefox, to every place that I sign in to Google Sync. Wow. I didn't know that. Including passwords, so, like, you know, when I go into email or whatever, if I change the password, it's already there. That's what's up, I didn't know that. I'm sure Chrome has something like that. Like that. All right, so you have to, uh, you have to
have a supported browser, you have to access Google in English from the United States, uh, you have to have the most recent Google navigation bar with the gear icon in the top corner of the page, uh, you sign in out of your Google account to refresh your cookies, and you must be signed into your Google account and remain and remain sold while you want to see the plus one button. So, that last thing is, to me, that is what will kind of hold this back, because you have to be signed in, and most people I know are not signed in unless they are in this industry. Well, they're probably going to just roll out this technology. This is a great way, you know, you know, a great way to test it. Yeah, you know how they do Wave, like, when they did Google Wave, it was like, okay, here's a thousand people, and every person gets five Wave invites, and so it grows a little more slowly. Hopefully, this is going to be slow because of the reasons you just described, and then they start rolling it out into regular organics, or just people click it and go, hey, you've got to create a profile in order for that to be recorded. Well, and not just that. Something we was talking about before was that so many people on Android, right, where it requires a Google account, you know what I'm saying, that, you know, once you get to your computer, you sign in to Gmail, you are in Google. You're in, yeah. No matter how many tabs you open, no matter how many times you close that browser and bring it back up, you're in. I mean, I wonder how many people have actually started using Gmail because they got an Android phone. Probably, you know, because that's a huge... I know four people personally who have Evos. My sister, her husband, my homeboy, his wife. They got Evos, and they started using Gmail only because they got Evos. They would have never... Like,
my wife wouldn't have used Gmail until we moved her account to Gmail. This would have done it. Once we get her a phone that's Android-based, she would have switched to Gmail. That's crazy. I even think about businesses. Like ours, for example, where I had been using my most serious email on Google Apps for like the past four years, right? And then just three months ago, I synced it and made my email my official Google account. Right. And so now I'm, you know, all the way logged in as soon as I check email. Yeah. So, yeah. Google is forcing people to go to Google. I'm cool with it. Yeah, yeah. I'm rocking with Google. Like I said. They're forcing them by providing a better phone than the iPhone. Oh, that's part of my blank step, too. We'll get to that. Okay. Okay. Well, real quick, I want to talk about another quick tool that Chuck actually said to me the other day, and I actually got it from Chuck before I got it from Matt Cutts, so that's what's up. Oh, wow. Y'all got it from Matt, though. Yeah, but I never check my Twitter, so. You got them tweeted. Yeah. If you don't follow Matt Cutts on Twitter, follow Matt Cutts on Twitter. End of story. He tells you about his diet and his latest. Yeah. Or he'll send you a cool tool like check how quick your pages loads up. This is the PageSpeed Labs beta. I don't know the difference between labs and beta. Labs is like it's a collection of betas. Oh, okay. There you go. They could have called it betas. If you go to pagespeed.googlelabs.com, it will check your page speed. You put in, as a little, like a search bar, you put in your URL, and it checks out. Did it for you web style. It's pretty cool. It tells you, you know, what's wrong, what you need to do to speed it up, and it prioritizes them. Like, you need to do this first. First. Just cut your
images. Yeah. Optimize your images. Do that. Do that. Then, secondly, correct your code. It's pretty cool. You know, probably. Something we'll probably implement, you know, before sightlons. Yeah. Yeah. It says, high priority, medium, and low. High priority are suggestions that represent the largest potential performance wins for the least development effort. You should address these items first. Mm-hmm. Obviously, going down. I thought it was really cool. And it says things like, minimize redirects, other things, it'll say optimize images, or combine images into CMS sprites. I have no idea what that means. A low priority item, minimize, minify JavaScript. That's a word? Minify. Minify. It is now. Google sends it to the word. It's on the web. Yeah. So the CSS thing, I think they were saying, well, basically, you know how with using style sheets, you can put an image there, and don't necessarily have to code that image in your HTML. Okay. And so it's faster if you just have your images linked in your style sheet. And so I'm going to read them a little bit quickly. I have no idea what you're talking about right now. Style. Sprite. Yeah. I like Sprite. Sprite is tasty. I got style. Un-Cola-Cola. Yeah. There you go. So what Chuck said. Yeah. Obey your thirst. Ditto. Yeah. Ditto what he said. I just, I'm retweeting what Chuck's saying right now. All right. Dude, you know, one day the story, you're going to tell the others, the stories are going to be like, dude, you got to retweet this. Like our kids are going to go, dude, you got to retweet this. This is not the craziest thing happened to me. This is retweetable. Yes. Oh, that's awesome. People are going to speak in terms of retweet now. That's already happening. Yeah. They won't say, oh, my homeboy told me this. I'm retweeting what Chris just said. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I mean, it's almost to the point now, you know, you introduce myself. I'm, oh, yeah, I'm at Chuck. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like,
we're talking about Chuck. It'll no longer be plagiarism. It'll be retweeting. At Chuck. You retweeted. We retweeted this research thing. I mean, that's hilarious. I've had Chuck. Here's my QR code. You're going to scan me. That's funny because that's exactly what's going to happen. When your kids are, like, in their teens, that's probably what it'll be. It'll be, man, we'll look at it and say, you guys are a bunch of weirdos. Weirdos, yeah. But that's how life will be. And, by the way, Twitter will be gone. I still will. But they'll still be calling it retweeting. All right. One thing, my last quick tool. Chuck also showed me this. OpensiteExplorer.org. It's a great place you can go and just kind of get a quick analysis of your site. It'll give you things that, again, a little search box you put in your URL. It'll give you the page authority of that page, domain, which is the URL score, combining all link metrics. It'll give you the domain authority, which is the overall score of your root domain, linking root domains, which are root domains with links to that particular URL, and total links. I thought it was really cool. Yeah, let me take this time to go ahead and step certified OpensiteExplorer. iWebTool, backlink checker, all of y'all. Look, step your game up. OpensiteExplorer is killing it. I went to iWebTool just to use theirs and checking the site, and it was like, oh, no backlinks. Each thing was missing one. So I finished my web analysis, sent it to my guy. I'm like, yeah, you need some backlinks, bro. Then I go back and check this one after I sent it, and he got a ton of backlinks. Oh, wow. So I'm like, man, that was cool. Retract. Unretweet. Yes. Unretweet. So go check out OpensiteExplorer.org. Awesome tool. It can definitely help if you're an SEO or you just want to know what's up with your site. It'll definitely help you out. So let's address Darren. All right. Darren posted a question. He says
he wants to put a price list on a site, and he doesn't know which way to go. Should he do it in a table, or should he use list items? Which one would be more SEO friendly? My thought was the list items would be 50-50. The list items will probably be more SEO friendly because it's a list. They do give special considerations to lists. However, for the sake of presenting a price chart, it's more effective to use the table. If you're going to use the table, my suggestion is to, your top row, make it a table header. Right. You can do that. Put your text in there, and I would probably even experiment with dropping an H3 inside that table header. And there's a data header, too, right? There's a data header. Yeah. And I think that will, you know, that'll lay out your prices more, and it'll be recognized as important information in a chart. So, go with the table for a presentation, and I don't know how many prices you have, so. Retweet. Yeah. That's two cents. Retweet. That's my retweet. By the way, that was Darren who gave you a hard time about QR code. Oh, man, he gave you a hard time about this. Oh, I'm gaining weight? Yeah, he's looking at me and saying, oh, man, Paul's getting a little chubby. I am, man, I am. And this is my smedium. Yeah, he's got a smedium. Oh, yeah. I am. I've been eating good lately. I can't even lie. A double X small. Yeah. That's right, man. I haven't been running. I haven't seen my cardio trainer on my Facebook lately, man. You've been hanging out with me, too. Yeah, eating good, man. You guys hit red onion the other day, right? You checked. Oh, I went with my heart for a gym. Oh, cool. Caught up with a one that ate. Oh, I got blank stare. Blank stare, yeah. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait. Yeah, that's blank. Yeah, it is. I felt a little out of practice. Yeah, it's
a lot of work. Blank stare at Best Buy. Best Buy, they reached their quota in selling iPad 2s, had a full stock in the back, and did not bring any more out. Told clients they were out. Why? Apple found out about it, made a decision, we're not selling iPad 2s with Best Buy anymore. Oh! Well, why would they do that, though? I don't know. They probably thought contractually they were only allowed to sell that. Think of the lack of communication on both parties, but either way, Best Buy just got screwed. Yeah. Man. Apple's like, you know what, we're not selling no more opes. And that's, Apple probably made that mistake, saying, look, here's their contract. Your contract is you can sell this many on the first opening day or whatever, and even if you have, you know, and if I read that contract, I'm like, okay, I have them in the back, but if I do this, I'm breaking the contract, man, there's going to be a lawsuit about that. Right. The title of it. Yeah. Sucks to be at Best Buy. I'm going to say all day today. Especially if you're looking for an iPad. Yeah. Man. All right. This has been podcast number 102.

No. I'm not going to say what I wanted to say. Again, and it has nothing to do with where he lives in Houston, right? Again, you can send us an email. Podcast at e-webstyle.com.
