As of June 1st we've been happily participating in Excelerate Labs and I must say that the program has exceeded all of my expectations.

Sunny Skies at PVPower - Going Solar!

News Update:

As of today, I am President at PVPower. PVPower is an online retailer of solar products (solar panels, charge controllers, inverters, etc.) based out of Chicago.

I'm still focused on SEO and plan to use my ecommerce SEO experience to make PVPower's content, community and products more relevant to industry queries.

At the same time, I'll be involved in helping grow the company, provide our customers better service and the right selection of products at competitive prices.

I'm looking forward to the new opportunity!

Shooting at Fort (Ft) Hood Sparks Interesting Psychology Conversation

My girlfriend, Lindsay Doyle, is a PhD psychology student at the Chicago School for Professional Psychology and is attending a conference put on by the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies today in Atlanta, Georgia. Much of the conversation at the conference is in regard to traumatic stress in war veterans.

She wrote a post today that looks at the shooting from a psychological perspective and makes some commentary on Major Nidal Malik Hasan (the shooter's) role as a trauma psychologist in the base's hospital.

Well, It's True: The Bird is Indeed the Word

Some of you may have taken a glance at the application I referenced in my last post, The Birds the Word.

When I posted a few links for you guys to try the application on April 8th, the domain only had 2-3 URLs indexed in Google.

Today, there are 1,590 unique URLs from the domain indexed by Google. The site is beginning to receive traffic on niche keywords like:

• 3d animated disney clipart
• gnr fanart

Here are a few of the URLs that might be getting ranked for these keywords and are already indexed in Google:

• digital 3d
• fanfic site

This application is also great for exploring concepts in a meandering, aimless sort of fashion. Check out what happens if you input John Deere. One of the results is february 7, 1804. At first, I was disappointed to see the seemingly irrelevant result come through the application. Until I realized that February 7th, 1804 is the birth date of Mr. Deere.

Very cool!
