Are they not more important things to deal with?

“Kentucky Representative Tim Couch filed a bill this week to make anonymous posting online illegal.

The bill would require anyone who contributes to a website to register their real name, address and e-mail address with that site.

Their full name would be used anytime a comment is posted.

If the bill becomes law, the website operator would have to pay if someone was allowed to post anonymously on their site. The fine would be five-hundred dollars for a first offense and one-thousand dollars for each offense after that.”

They say content is king when it comes to placing good in search engines (Google,yahoo.etc..) and not so much with link building. Thats one of the reasons I created this website. I have decided not to be active in doing any link exchanges or buying links to help in getting good search engine placement. I have submitted the site to be crawled by Google and Yahoo and will submit to the dmoz directory but highly doubt it will be listed. I don’t think it will for lack of original content but for the fact that Dmoz is recognized as the holy grail of directory’s (Google owned) but also noted as the most huh should I say corrupt? In this “experiment” my goal is try and place on the top 10 in Google for the following keywords:

• East Ky (currently will report back 516,000 results with the expo center as Number 1)
• eastern Ky ( currently will report back 522,000 results with EKU as being number 1)
• Prestonsburg Ky (currently will report back 231,000 results with prestonsburgky.org as Number 1)

As you can see the competition is not to fierce with these 3 keywords. For example when doing a search for “chevy” Google will report back 41,400,000 results. Yes that’s right over 41 million. It would be very difficult and take a shit load of work to get listed in the top ten, plus the average website owner without a few thousand to spend in link exchanges would probably never obtain a top ten result.

The second reason I created My East Ky is because I thought there where no other good websites for the east ky area. They all sucked, not saying this is the best design or has the most features (yet) but it’s a start. Besides news related websites they are no user motived websites. So sit back, relax and enjoy the show!!
