Questions this episode answers

How should I decide how much to bid on pay-per-click keywords?

The hosts recommend identifying which keywords actually close sales, even if they have a low click-through rate, and bidding more aggressively on those terms. If a keyword closes every time, it is worth spending more money to keep it visible on the first page.

What is the new AdWords segmentation feature discussed in this episode?

AdWords introduced a segmentation option that lets advertisers choose whether their ads appear at the top of search results or on the right side. The hosts note higher bids tend to earn top placement while lower bids aimed at budget management likely land on the right side.

Why do the hosts criticize Microsoft AdCenter in this episode?

They are frustrated that Microsoft AdCenter requires Internet Explorer to manage pay-per-click accounts and does not work in Chrome or Firefox. They argue any product should run across all standard browsers, pointing out that sites built with standard HTML work correctly in every browser except older IE versions.

What are Google Plus circles and why do the hosts like them?

Circles are Google Plus's way of organizing the people you share content with into named groups such as friends, family, or coworkers. The hosts prefer them over Facebook because adding someone to a circle is integral to the signup process and requires only a hover and drag, with no extra click needed to save.

In their words

Hey, Charles, wanted to let you know in the 12 days, since I added the play button, my homepage video, as you suggested, the clicks went up 333%.

Why sell it when you can give it away free and sell $9 billion of ads on it every month?

Hi, and welcome to the SEO Podcast, Unknown Secrets of Internet Marketing. SEO. Did you say SEO that time? Yeah, SEO Podcast. Right there in the beginning. Get it out of the way first. My name is Chris Burris, owner of eWebStyle. I am Charles Lewis, your Internet Marketing Director. You are watching, listening to, following, a fan of, thrilled by the most popular SEO podcast on iTunes, that it is us, and that is because of you. We appreciate you guys listening, watching, tuning in. As always, we want to talk a little bit. Actually, we kind of streamlined our process, so we've got one tip from our last podcast. By the way, this is Podcast 114. 114? 114. So I will not read off of the sheet of Podcast 114. We don't even have a tip for Podcast 114 yet. We make that up. We do have a tip from Podcast 113. Go back and listen to this. Figure out your highest percent closing keywords, and make sure that they are ranking extremely well. So if that doesn't make perfect sense to you, go back and listen to Podcast number 113. Really, all we're saying is dig into your analytics. Know what keywords actually close. Maybe they've got a low click-through rate. They actually close really well. Make sure those keywords are on the first page. Spend some time on it. The last thing you want to do is have the words that don't close for you rank well. And then the words that close well don't rank well. And you could focus on getting them on the first page, and or you could spend more money on pay-per-click on those terms. Be willing to bid more if you know that they close every single time they come in. Next, on our agenda. Wait, we don't have an agenda. We never have an agenda. You surprised me. We got an agenda. You didn't get the memo? Next on our list of things we usually do and will actually do today is news. I guess that's an agenda. All

right. Google Plus. Did you all hear about it? Is G Plus? Anyone know about it? Yeah. Well, you know, we dived in head first. You know, first, let me take this time to give a punch in the face to my girl Jill. She sent me the invite. I was a little frustrated, you know, being kind of, you know, popular in web and marketing, you know, SEO rappers, stats. And I was a little surprised. Nobody sent me a G Plus invite. I had to actually go and tweet in Facebook and request one. You felt like a panhandler, didn't you? Like a G Plus panhandler. I got a G Plus invite. Next thing you're going to need to make a sign, go on the street corner. G Plus. Actually, we've got a photographer in the studio today, or in the office, also studio. Yeah, studio office. And we may grab him and take him down and make a sign saying, somebody give me a G Plus invite. Yeah, like me on Facebook. We'll have a whole bunch of social signs. 10 million users. Apparently, you were the 10 millionth. Yeah. You know. Yeah, me. 10 million years. You know who the number one followed user on Google Plus was? Who? Mark Zuckerberg. I saw that. You know who else is? Mark. I'm not sure how many guys this guy has, but Tom. MySpace Tom. MySpace Tom. I have no idea who that is. You don't know who? Come on, dog. You know, Tom. The dude who found the MySpace, the guy who's everybody's friend on there, right? Yeah, the first friend when you joined MySpace. Yeah. He was up there. Larry Page was up there. Yeah, I saw that. Well, he's actually with Google, so that makes sense. Wow, so Zuckerberg. Yeah. Well, and apparently they turned it off, too. Indy face. Yeah. Well, then they turned it off, right? Because what's the publicity of your CEO being the most popular person on a competing platform? So what they did is there's a way to shut it

off so people don't know how many people are actually following you, and they did that. Yeah, we already know. That's it, yeah. They're in the lead. Apparently, Google is buying more land. You didn't know they were in the real estate business, did you? Yeah. They're buying everything. Soon to come to you, Texas brought to you by Google. I don't know, Texas is pretty big, so maybe like New Hampshire or something, Rhode Island. Google did $9 billion in revenue in the last quarter. Last quarter. And, but to make it even worse, they said they did $9 billion last quarter, and sales were down. Yeah. You know, it was like, but then I chalked it up to a lot of Android. I read an article on TechCrunch. Shout out to TechCrunch. New punch in the face for y'all. I like the new layout. Looks good. Yeah, easy to use. Good job with that. But I was reading on TechCrunch where Android, the numbers just left my head. They had some stupid number, like, you know, 10 million, you know, Android app downloads. Oh, yeah, so they're making, you know, whatever, 10 cents on a dollar download or whatever. Maybe it's 50 cents on a dollar download times 10 million. Yeah, yeah. It's a lot. I'll take a penny of that. Be happy. Let's see. Putting more word behind fear of Aaron. I don't even know what the word says. Yeah, it's really bad. Yeah, when I ask you to read my handwriting, usually it's like, no, let me just type it. Type it again. This is interesting. This is interesting. AdWord gets a new segmentation. I don't know if you heard about this. Do you want your ad to show up on the top or on the right? I saw that. I saw that. You know, I'm always into AdWords. You know, we've got clients who's managing. I'm not sure how that's going to work. I mean, because usually it's related to how much you bid. Yeah. If you're top bidding or you're automatic bidding, then usually

you'll get one of those top two positions. If you're low bidding, trying to really manage budget, you'll probably end up on the right side. Let me interject there. Manage budget properly. Properly. Most efficiently. Yeah, I think it's pretty interesting. You know, does that mean that you're just not going to get displayed as much and they, I don't know, I don't even know how you do it. If you're willing to spend a certain amount cost per click, the impressions don't matter, right? So, I don't know. It's interesting. But I thought it was cool. Yeah. I thought it was going to get you on that. Like, you know. No, you know, I'm on it. It's my job, man. Hey, last podcast, I was not happy. This podcast, I'm ecstatic. It's static, it's static. We got a review on iTunes. All you have to do is go on to iTunes, create a simple account, submit a review about us, and then let us know so that we can actually read your podcast, your review on air. Four things take you like two minutes to do, and we'll greatly appreciate it. Yes, and we'll give you a punch in the face. That's free. And then we'll give you some link love, also free. Here it is. These guys know, this is the title. I love this title. These guys know SEO and make it entertaining and fun. The name is... Firestorms. And the actual title, the actual handle for this person is, free is more than it's worth. That's awesome. Wait, no. That's not good. Free is worth less than free? So we should be paying our listeners to listen to our podcast? Free is more than it's worth. I think that's good. I like that. We'll go with the positive side of that. Here it goes. I couldn't recommend this podcast more. I've learned so many great SEO tips and tricks from these guys. They're my secret weapon. I like that. Hey, don't let the DOA Department of Justice know anything about that. And they have a blast

talking about an otherwise pretty dry subject. What? SEO is dry? It is. It keeps me entertained and always looking forward to the next episode. Thanks, guys. Love your show. Big punch in the face for ya. Signed, not a douche. Not a douche. Signed, not a douche. This is somebody who gets the show. Yeah, appreciate it, man. Thank you for tuning in. Thanks for the review. Thanks for following us. Hit us up on Facebook. Did you say follow us? Hit us up on Facebook? How do they do that? Oh, those are subliminal. We'll cover them later. Oh. You brought it out now. Hit us up on Facebook, man. Facebook.com slash eWebStyle. Follow us on Twitter at eWebStyle. Where is what? Ustream at eWebStyle. Email us. Podcast at e-WebStyle. e-WebStyle. e-WebStyle. You were supposed to be a little bit closer. Like I thought you was. Like on top of it. Right there. Podcast at e-WebStyle. So, yeah. Follow us. You know, we'll follow back. YouTube.com slash eWebStyle. And was there anything else? We don't have a Google Plus yet, right? You can't do that. Not yet. We'll talk about that. Yeah, because that's part of our subject today. Speaking of hitting us up on Facebook, we've got a regular contributor to our Facebook page, Dean Calvin. Woo, Dean. Woo. He's probably listening right now. Bud Light and Donuts. Did you see that? No, I didn't see that. That image he sent, Bud Light and Donuts. He was suggesting that that was created by the Unknown Secrets of SEO podcasters, the A-Team of SEO. That sounds like just an instant stomach ache. Yeah. Look, I'm feeling good, it's sweet, and I feel sick. Let's see. What do we got? Okay, so this is another review that was actually submitted on Facebook by Melissa Brisbane. It says, Hi, guys. Just discovered your podcast last night. I love it. Then she comes back and says, Hmm, episode from July 3rd was supposed to be about Aussie SEO, Panda, and MS Ad Center, but none of these topics were mentioned. Yeah,

it could be a typo. I'm going to check into that. I don't know. Now, to be totally honest, I pull out, you know, we get our podcast transcribed. I pull out, I'll see one line on one thing, and I'll try and convert that into a title that's searchable and indexed as well and shows up in reports. Ooh, I'm lying. Shows up in the resorts. In the results. So, you know, sometimes, you know, you just got to write. I was bad. Yeah. And I won 800, I was bad. And this podcast talked about vanity phone numbers. Operators are standing by. Was there anything else from there? We got this email. Do you want to take it? I want to know how to shout out to my boy. Yeah. Shout out to Eric Boyle. For y'all who don't know, we do a website analysis. Online, what is it? Online secrets of website analysis. Boyle, you can go to our site, ewebstyle.com, and on the right side, request an analysis of your website. Me and Chris will review your site, tell you what's wrong with it, what's right with it, what you can improve. So, my guy, Eric Boyle, he submitted one. He has two companies. One, centralpark.com. He's in New York. And this other one is fullscreenphotos.com. Got a great new technology he's using, works with sites, and it's a great way to display images on your site. So, we did an analysis on this site, and one of our tips in the analysis was add a play button to your video. He has a video on his homepage. He doesn't get too many views. Add a play button. So, he added the play button 12 days ago, and then he sent me this email. Hey, Charles, wanted to let you know in the 12 days, since I added the play button, my homepage video, as you suggested, the clicks went up 333%. Well, it's 333%. Wow. So, I thought it was a typo. Eric, you meant 33%? No, Chuck, 333%. So, thanks for the tip. I'm

working on some of the other stuff now. I hope all is well. I appreciate you, Eric, for tuning in, man. I'm glad it worked for you. And keep me posted on how some of the other changes work. For you guys who are listening to the podcast, it really makes us feel, in fact, we're going to put up a reviews or testimonials hall of fame, and that'll go in. It makes us feel so good when you take one of our tips, and it actually improves your process. And it works. Well, we know it's going to work. It's kind of that transition from, okay, you found that information from us, you guys actually implemented it, and then you were courteous enough to get back to us and let us know that it had a significant positive impact. So, wow. Thanks a lot, Eric. So, a few of those views convert into paying clients. Absolutely. We've got, and then one email from Stephen Bragg. Hey, guys, I've been going through your past episodes and have a possible topic for you. I thought that was pretty interesting. It's pretty long. We should actually add it to, we'll throw it up on Facebook, and it says, have you considered that Amazon is essentially a search engine and only works for products? He says that you can actually submit reviews, and when you submit reviews, those reviews help increase your positioning on Amazon. And he says this kind of process, he's been able to get one of his products on the first page of Amazon within a month. It's interesting, you know, we had a conversation about it. Interesting concept. Interesting concept. And on the left side, right, he's right. It kind of is, especially based on our conversation when Amazon features products that they're not necessarily... Warehousing. Exactly. And so, technically, it could be a search engine for products. My only caveat or devil's advocate to that would be the fact that Amazon still would get a cut. Yeah. You know, at the end of the day, they'd get a

cut. Yeah, where Google doesn't get a cut of the sale, yeah. Yeah, they just supply the information. Right. And so, you know, but maybe you're on to something. And Google is making a ton, apparently, $9 billion in revenue on just selling ads that every one of our clients claims they never click. They never click. Right. Every client we've had, except for the one who didn't know it was actually paid per click or actually sponsored ads. So, interesting. So, Google Plus is exciting. It's like 10 million users in a short two weeks. Yeah. It's phenomenal. They didn't even open it all wide open right away, right? Yeah, it's limited. You know, they cut it off for a few days and then opened it back up, and now it's cut off again. So... And you have a particular challenge with Google. Is that for later? That's there. That's there. Okay. Who am I going to it now for more, too? Well, let's... We can dig in into this. I thought this was interesting. Was there any part you wanted to grab? I thought, you know, your first thought with Google Plus, right, is very personal. Well, excuse me. Our first thought with Google Plus is, how does a business take advantage of Google Plus, right? And so, I was reading an article, and I was thinking, well, wait a minute. There's a Google Places ad. Your old Google profile is now your Google Plus account. So, certainly, your Google Places ad is going to become your Google Plus account. And that'll be the equivalent of the Facebook Places page, or your business page, and your fan page, and all of that stuff. So, that really makes sense. And what it turns out is that Google has some official releases about what they're going to do with Google Plus and businesses. And currently, they're actually actively going in and deleting Google Places, Google Plus ads that are... Businesses. ...for businesses. Businesses, yeah. So, that's interesting. It's good to know it's on the horizon, the blank stare. I just

think they haven't just prepared for businesses using it yet. Yeah. And then, I think, you know, they always have a bigger plan in front of what we actually see. I think they could very well just be trying to get the personal users up. Yeah. You know, before they let the businesses in, and then there's a pool of potential people to market to. Absolutely. Well, and you think about it, there are more people than there are businesses, so they're actually going to increase their usership a lot faster, a lot better. How about just personal perspectives? Did we give some? I think we gave some last time on the last podcast, but, you know, of the differences, I think you've played around with it. I've certainly played around with it 100,000% more than last week, because it didn't have an account last week. I like it. I mean, I think it improved. You know, one of the things here was, does Google Plus improve on Facebook? I think it does. Yeah. In some form or fashion. You know, I think, I'll just talk about the circles for a second. You know, with the circles, what are they? So, people who don't have a... Well, circles is Google's way, I call it, of organizing your friends, or the people who you choose to share with. Not necessarily friends, because you can call a circle whatever you want to call it. Like, I have, for example, I have a friend circle, family circle, acquaintance circle, technology circle, entertainment circle. Yeah. SEO circle. Right. You know, technology circle. And so, all of my friends, I can put them in certain circles. With Facebook, all I have is friends. Now, I can go in and organize them, but, I mean, really, who does that on Facebook? You know, and so I think Google made it easier, especially with the hover over. You don't even have to click. I wouldn't even say integral. I would say, I wouldn't say easier. I'd say integral. Yeah. Like, that's part of the process. That's part

of the process. You have to do that. Yeah. And so, and then they made it super easy, because you don't even have to click. You just hover. And then it pops open, and all my circles are there, and then I can check off which ones I want. And I still don't have to click submit. All I have to do is move my mouse again, and it automatically saves them there. Yeah. So, thanks for the easy... And then there's a... That's one screen. I think there's another screen where you just drag them over into the... You got the row of circles, or rows of circles underneath, and you drag this dude, and you can, of course, be in multiple circles, right? I'm going to tell you what I'm anxious to see what's going to happen. You already know, when you look in the search engine results page, you have the plus one there. Right. And it'll show you who, which one of your friends has plus one to a certain link or a certain result. I want to know, is if I see that, and I hover over my friend who did that, would it let me add them to one of my circles? Oh, yeah. To another circle. To another circle. Or somebody who's not in my circle. Yeah. You know, several people plus one this. Who plus one this? I saved this on my search result the other day. It's still... I think it's still one of my tabs. Up next to the SERP is a picture of the dude who wrote the article. Mm-hmm. Now, is that... Do we know if that's Google... I was trying to figure it out. I don't know if he has a Google Plus account. I didn't spend enough time on it. But I was impressed that the dude was over there. Right? The picture was there. Yeah. That's awesome. I don't know. So we'll have to spend a little time on that, because that's pretty exciting, too. So imagine, you know, you can just look down, you're

looking at a bunch of articles, and you happen to know, you know, what Rand looks like, or Matt Cutts. So you're like, oh, I definitely want to read that one, just because I know who wrote it, because the picture's there. And by the way, anyone who's in Google Plus and doesn't have a picture yet, you know, come on up. And if you're social, right, my G Plus picture is the same as my Facebook picture and my Twitter picture and all of that. So it's me. I kind of changed mine up. I used the top position, the A-team of SEO South Park image for now. Well, I'm trying, I'm branding. Oh, yeah. And so I tried to go with the same thing. Another thing I liked about it was Hangouts. Yeah. Hangouts was cool. Hangouts was, I think Hangouts was, it's like a combination of a group, IM, and Skype. I mean, only thing I don't like about it is if you're going to actively participate in it, it's in your best interest to have the headset. Oh, yeah. And so while I'm at work and I'm working, I probably got music playing. I would like to just be in the Hangout, kind of see what's going on, chime in if I need to, but also be aware of the conversation and not necessarily have to be, you know, mic'd up. There's another, there's another thing, maybe it's not called Hangout. If I have my phone, it's on the app, that, that, huddle. Yeah. I saw the huddle. So tell me this isn't going to happen soon. Hangout, huddle, blended, so you don't need an earphone. Probably. Because they're already translating audio, transcribing audio, so now they just, okay, Charles actually said something, but this is what he said, and then you can be actively pursuing, you know, I think it's a really cool concept because now you can group, you know, say you got five buddies and you're going to go out, right? And it's Thursday night and you're starting to make plans for Friday

or it's first thing Friday morning. And you kind of hook all them up and you start saying, hey, we got to go to this place, the chicks are hot, or hey, we got to go to this place because they got great sushi and everyone battles back. It's kind of like a real dialogue with just the people you want. Yeah. Whoever you invite, you know, to their huddle or to their hangout. And you can't do that on Facebook. No, you can't. Where can you do that? You can do it on instant message. I know we can do it on our inter-office instant message. That's for sure. The only other place you can do that at, which is not free, would be something like GoToMeeting or something like that. You know, and so I think Hangout will eventually phase that out, especially if they start allowing screen sharing or something like that. Oh, yeah. Well, that's going to be an app plug-in, right? In fact, it's probably GoToMeeting will provide a plug-in for Google Plus so that you can screen share while you're in a huddle. They better do something. Why sell it when you can give it away free and sell $9 billion of ads on it every month? Wow. So, another thing, you know, it works better in Chrome. If you're not using Chrome, I won't say shame on you because I'm a recent convert, you know, but it does work better in Chrome, which it should, right? They're both Google products. According to the article, it says, well, there's extensions. There's five Chrome extensions that improve G+. Mashable provides them. Let's see here. Wow, they didn't link them. Okay. You got to suck. I'll get to that later. But, yeah, it works good in Chrome, especially when you're logged in. So, check it out. I use it in Firefox, too, only because we're doing, you know, pay-per-click and stuff like that. It's logged into multiple accounts. I did find a really great trick for Firefox. For Firefox, if anybody else out there were in

a situation where I'm logged into my email, e-web style email, and then I click analytics, and that's my analytics account. I click AdWords. I click, you know, a couple other Google products, and that's all tied together. Now, what if I need to sign in as a particular client or, you know, in my case, because you with a blank stare, I need to sign in as my Gmail account. Now, there's a way to have another Firefox window be a different profile, use different cookies, and you can literally be tied in where all the tabs are related to, say, one Gmail account in one of the windows and another Gmail account in another window. And I'll go ahead and post that on Facebook because I think that's really powerful. It's really, for us, when I found it, I was like, yes, because it's been a challenge for us. It just does use challenges. Well, and currently, I end up using multiple browsers. So, I've got Chrome open, IE open, Firefox open. Now, I can actually just have Firefox. It even has, you know, I've got synced my Firefox, a different profile that you could actually sync different, you know, across. Across the board. Across, man, it's cool. All right, so. Yeah, you got to get a picture of our blank stare. This is blank stare. Yeah. I had no blink that time. That was all the way blank. Yeah. All the way blank. All right. No expression. My mouth was a little open. That was probably not. Let's try one more. One more. Yeah. Yeah. That was good. That was good. All right. Blank stare. First, before I dig into my G plus blank stare, blank stare, since we're talking about browsers, at Microsoft AdSense, why are you making me open, IE, to manage my clients pay-per-click? How come I can't use Chrome? Why can't I use Firefox? What's the purpose of me having a whole other browser that I don't like? Okay. Look, Microsoft, if you've learned anything from Google, and we know you haven't, you

know that your product should run across all browsers. By the way, the only browser that we have to also design for is IE. Yeah. If it works in Firefox, it works in Flock, it works in Chrome, it works properly in everything else. It may even work properly in one version of IE. Yeah, but. But older versions are, why are you, I mean, it's an HTML standard. That means when you use it and you write standard HTML code, it has a standard look and feel. So, it's pretty simple, and you can't even do it across the board versions of your browser. This is, it's bizarre. Anyway, that felt good. That was like, yeah. You got that out? Yeah, that was good. Okay. Second blank stare to G+. Now, we've been praising because I like G+. I like the hangouts. I like the circles. Problem I don't like is how you're treating your poor Google Apps users. Now, what is Google Apps user just so people, okay, well, if you don't know what Google Apps is, shame on you, but you may not. I've been using Google Apps for five years now, six years now, and what it is, it allows you to use Google services with your own domain. In my case, mostserious.com, that's my website, entertainment company, and so my email, Chuck at mostserious, should I just broadcast like that? It's out there. And so, it's a Google Apps account, right? I use it for everything. Right. Everything personal, really. So, what that means is when somebody sends an email to xyz at mostserious.com, it actually goes, and the server that's handling that mail is Gmail. It's a Gmail server. And when you log in to check your mail, you can log in to Gmail, or you could also use Outlook or any other thing that you want to do. Yeah, it works. So, I use the IMAP here, pop at home. And so, now, last year, I made, no, that wasn't even last year, that was January this year, I made, I got rid

of my Gmail account, lyricalmessage.gmail, don't use that one no more. I made my most serious Google Apps account my official Google account. Like me, across the board, right. Across the board. So, my personal analytics, personal AdWords, personal YouTube, and all of that stuff is with my personal Google Apps Google account. Right. Because now, it's a Google account. Problem. And here's why we're blank staring. When I signed up for G+, they're not allowing Google Apps users to use it. But, they accepted mine because it's my personal Google account. And so, what they did was, they ended up giving me a temp account that I wasn't even aware of. Chris pointed it out. And so, now, I have to log in as my temp account to use G+, because if I'm logged into my regular, most serious account, I can't access it. So, and that also means, like, literally, my email at e-webstyle.com, so that's chrisburris at e-webstyle.com, I can't use that account to create a Google Plus account. And shame on G+, too, for not mentioning, you saw, they gave me an option, right. So, I logged in yesterday, and it was like, Charles, you have to either A, make everything personal, or B, make everything business. And you can move apps around to different places. What they failed to mention was that if you make it business, your G+, account will not be active. It will, who knows what would happen. It would be like, it would be out there and inaccessible. In Limbo. And so, um. That's bad. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just, I'm going to wait. Yeah. They'll merge them eventually. And, they already did say, didn't you find a forum? Yeah, I read an article said that they're working on moving Google Apps accounts, making them accessible to G+, but they're working out some other kinks and stuff right now. I personally think that they're, we said it earlier, that we're just trying to make, they want to make sure they have it ready for businesses. Right. Because technically, if you're using Google

Apps, you're likely a business. Yeah, yeah. That's true. And, and, and, you know, the concern, and it makes sense, is do I want, I don't know, let's just say IBM decided to use Google Apps. Do I want XYZ IBM employee to use XYZ at IBM.com and create a G+, account? Yeah. Well, first off, if I'm the IBM employee, that's not very smart, because if you lose your job, you lose your Google Plus account. I'm sure, at least for the foreseeable future, there will be no way to move to emails, and I'm, I'm saying that, hoping that I will be able to move it over to Chris Burris at eWebStyle. Hopefully. But I'm also confident that that's not going to be the case. I'm going to have to, because I personally, I faded out all my Gmail stuff. Yeah, you know, I faded out all of that. I faded out Yahoo, you know, years ago, faded out the Gmail stuff. I only use my most serious account, and so I don't want to have to go back to my Gmail just to use G+. I really, I have Burris.com, and I've got that on Google Apps. That's what I'd really like to use, but it's on Google Apps. Oh, man, I don't know. All right, do we got anything else? Um, no, I think that's it. All right, well, you guys have been listening to the most popular SEO podcast on iTunes. Again, that is because of you. We really appreciate you. And, yeah, and you over in, oh, wait, country. I looked up a city the other day. Um, Osaka. We've got a listener in Osaka, Japan. Osaka? Yeah. I have, like, no, oh, in Japan. Japan. In that smile, little island, we've got, man, we've got listeners all over the world. We really appreciate you guys. Man, it's safe out there. I mean, Japan is getting killed with earthquakes they had. Like, one recently. Oh, did they have another one? We could go. Oh, wow. Yeah, well, they're saying that the residual from that

is going to go for, you know, another five years or something. And they probably had earthquakes. They're probably used to, kind of, in general, non-nuclear plant destroying earthquakes regularly. Yeah. So, yeah, be safe over there in Osaka. We appreciate you listening. If you hear this podcast and you're the listener in Osaka, hit us up. Let us know who you are. We'd love to give a shout out. Go on to iTunes. Create an iTunes account and submit a review about us. And then hit us, send us an email so that we know and we'll give you a punch in the face. Yeah. Facebook.com slash eWebStyle.
