Search Engine Optimization

In this blog I will briefly describe the concept of Search Engine Optimization, and how this can help a website to be noticed.

Optimizing a website to be found by search engines is one of the most important things that can be done for a website. These days when someone wants to find something on the Internet most of the time they will use a search engine such as Google, or Yahoo. From there, they will type in several key words that describe what they are looking for. If your website isn’t one of the sites that comes up on the first page of the search most of the time you are out of luck, because most people don’t go past the first page or two of search results.

There are a couple of things that can be done to help your site be found. If you have some money, you can pay to be a “sponsored link”, or pay per click (PPC) link. For instance if you search basketball shoes in Google the first few links that come up are sponsored links meaning that those websites will pay money to Google whenever they are clicked on. The downside to these sponsored links is that people are becoming more and more Internet savvy, some people skip past the sponsored links looking for the more “organic search results“.

The alternative to paying for sponsored links is of course being that organic search result, meaning that you truly have the best relevance according to what the search parameters are. This method is cheaper monetarily, but much more time consuming, it can be a full time job to keep a website near the top of a search list. This method involves understanding how search engines work and modifying the content and HTML code of your website so that your website will come up near the top of a search. This process involves a lot of work, from thinking of all the possible keywords that your website might be under, all the way to knowing where to put those words in the code and content of your site. But, if your site is one of the top organic search results all the work will be worth it.

In doing all of this, you must be careful not to stuff your site with “keywords” (keyword stuffing) that may not be relevant to the topic of your website, or spamdexing. Search engines put a lot of effort into finding sites that abuse the system in this way, and will remove them from all searches. If you aren’t in the search engine at all, you will never be found, so don’t cheat!

About Andy Wadman

Andy Wadman

Andy Wadman

My name is Andy Wadman, I am currently 22, and living in Plymouth, Minnesota. I am a relatively new addition to OAC, but I will get to that shortly

I was born and raised in St. Paul then Eden Prairie Minnesota. My family and I moved to Plano, Texas when I was in middle school. While in Plano I met one of my current best friends Kevin Parks, who is another big part of OAC. After I finished middle school I moved back to Minnesota, to a city called Plymouth where I went to Wayzata High School. I graduated from high school in 2004 and had plans to attend the University of St. Thomas, in St. Paul.

I started school at St. Thomas in the fall of 2004. At first I didn’t know what I wanted to major in, so I took a lot of general courses. I took a couple of marketing classes, and I really started to get interested in the material that I was learning. So, early in my Junior year I declared marketing to be my major. Through my time in the business school at St. Thomas I had many opportunities to apply what I was learning by working with real businesses. One such opportunity was a management project with a restaurant called Fabulous Ferns. Another opportunity i had was a marketing project with the Minnesota Thunder, a professional soccer team. But the most interesting project was with Otto Bock, the number one prosthetic leg maker in the world. With a group, I did market research for Otto Bock and their industry, we also did other difficult marketing tasks for them. I was able to graduate from St. Thomas in exactly 4 years, as planned, with a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing.

I started my job search a little while before I graduated, and was still looking for the right job into the summer. Then one day Kevin Parks called and said he might have a marketing job for me with a start up company called own a coder. I was really interested and with in a week I went to Texas to check it out. I met many of the key people in the company and a few days later, on Friday, July 18th 2008, I became the first official employee of OAC!

I am currently working full time from Minnesota, but I’m in constant contact with everyone working in Texas to get this company up and running. My roles include anything dealing with marketing and sales. I have also taken up working on the legal logistics of starting this company. And recently Tony has expressed his need for me to take up more of a management role in the company as he works on keeping the company financially afloat.

I am psyched to be working with this company, and I’m excited to see what the future brings for OAC.

The Best Job for Stay at Home Moms

The online signature for our business vision is V123X2020, which means one website, two countries and three million jobs by the year 2020. The one website is ownacoder.com and the two countries are Vietnam and the United States.

Our mission is to give you more time, more power and greater opportunity for success through the use of an offshore professional doing time consuming tasks for you, while you sleep, to achieve your goals.

Friday the 18th of July 2008 was day one for our journey when we first had a full-time employee in the USA. By the end of this journey, in the year 2020, we should have created more than three million jobs. These include a million jobs for the offshore professional living in Vietnam, a million jobs for the American mom, and an additional one million jobs for professionals, which include executives, managers, programmers, designers and other positions.

The best job for stay-at-home mom should not be a job that causes more stress than already produced by the children but it should rather be a hobby that creates wealth. Yes, the best job for stay-at-home mom is the one that can put more bacon on the table than what can be provided for by dad. How could this be? Read on.

Bacon is a cut of meat taken from the sides, belly, or back of a pig that has been cured, smoked, or both. One way to put bacon on the table is in fact working as a pig farmer. For city moms, try velgie farming!

Outsourcing is contracting with another company or person to do a particular function. Offshoring is to do outsourcing overseas or in a separate country. At ownacoder.com, owning an elgi is having a lifetime relationship with an offshore worker, especially before college graduation. An elgi who lives in Vietnam is called a velgie. Raising a velgie means getting a college student in Vietnam to bet his future in that of his holder in the west and, through ownacoder.com, allow his skills to be sold and thus owned in the open market across the globe.

A farmer is someone with an ownership interest in crops or livestock, and who provides land or management in their production. Someone who has an ownership interest in, and provides facilities or management in the production of, velgies is also called a farmer, though neither of crops nor of livestock but rather of human capital, specifically, in Vietnam. Velgie farming does not require land but a computer with internet connection.

Velgie farming should not be a job in the traditional sense of the word. A velgie farmer does not answer to any boss. Velgies are the worker and velgie farmer is the boss. Velgie farming is not a job. It is a hobby that generates cash, a lot of it. Velgies are cash crops. How is it so? Read on.

It takes a village to raise a child. To raise a velgie, it takes more than just a village. To enable velgie farming you must first have a velgie homestead, which is a piece of land on the web where a velgie parks his career portfolio. The person who owns this land is called a velgie landowner.

Velgies must be able to read and write English but, in the earliest years of their career, they do not speak English well. Most velgies would prefer to be brought up by an American mom, herein referred to as a velgie mom. A velgie mom may raise several velgies. Without an agent such as a velgie mom, the velgie is worth not as much to the user. A velgie mom can represent and speak out for the velgie, especially to the end velgie user.

The person who brings a velgie to the market is called a velgie provider. This person may just be the one who manages other providers.

The person who pays for a permanent use of a velgie is called a velgie holder. A velgie holder may own several velgies. You must carry a document called velgie title in order to prove that you own a velgie. All velgie titles are listed in the velgie registry. A velgie title goes with one and only one velgie.

The person or company that employs velgies is called a velgie user. The velgie holder has the right to decide who may be in control of the velgie for which duration of time. The person who manages velgies and velgie users is called a velgie manager. This person should have experience doing project management.

The person or company places an ad at a velgie homestead is called a velgie advertiser. Advertisers love to place their ads at velgie homestead because the target audience includes all types of people with serious income: velgie landowners, velgie holders, velgie providers, velgie users, and last but not least, velgie moms.

In general, velgie landowners, velgie moms, and such people are collectively called velgie farmers. Anyone who has an ownership interest in velgies and provides land or management in their production is called a velgie farmer. Velgie users and velgie managers are not velgie farmers.

Velgie moms do not get stressed because they only speak for their velgies and should not be blamed for any lack of quality in workmanship as produced by the velgie. Velgie farming is a good job for stay-at-home mom because it is a job free of stress.

What are velgies good for? Velgies are offshore people who are trained to carry out activities such as computer programming, web designing, system analysis, software testing, etc. but five to ten times less expensive than their counterparts in the USA.

Pairing up the American mom with the velgie is a great way double their value in the marketplace. Such a journey of two is an expression of social network.

The website that has all the functionality required to manage roles and responsibilities as suggested above is called a velgie system. Through financial incentives and otherwise, a good velgie system must always promote greater participation by everyone. Those who are outside want to join. Those who are inside want to do more.

The key difference between the velgie system and many other social networking system is that our social network not just pays the bill but also helps create family wealth. Wealth is what others want to pay for and most would love to pay for in order to control the least expensive workforce.

Velgie users do not need to speak the Vietnamese language in order to take full advantage of an offshore professional doing time consuming tasks for you, while you sleep, to achieve your goals. Requirements specified in form of user stories can be written in English and the velgie system will, through machine translation, help the velgie quickly understand what the customer expects.

A velgie mom may be able to put more bacon on the table than what can be provided for by dad. That is because there is no limit as to how many velgies a mom can raise. Moreover, the mom may also use one of these velgies to raise even more velgies. In velgie farming, your crops are capable of handling other crops for you. This is what makes velgie farming more fruitful than other types of farming and more rewarding than working in a traditional job, in which stress is the norm.

A parent is now considering buying a velgie for his daughter who is a junior in high school. A high school student who owns a velgie will look at the world in a totally different light. As jobs move out of the country at an alarming rate, college students must now learn how to manage workers from faraway places. Owning a velgie provides such an educational experience.

If you decided not to deal with a velgie any more, you can always put that velgie up for rent or even for sales. If a velgie decided to quit, the website ownacoder.com will provide the holder with another velgie. This is the difference between offshoring through ownacoder.com and directly doing it with a random person off of the web.

How should you raise a velgie? How should you raise your child? Answers to both questions are quite similar. The difference between a velgie and a child is that a child is not but a velgie is required to share the revenue commanded by the business unit formed, and the social network forged, between the velgie and the mom.

V123X2020: Our vision of one website, two countries and three million jobs by the year 2020 means a million jobs for Vietnam and a million jobs for the American mom to go with a million new jobs for various professional positions. Our mission is to give you more time, more power and greater opportunity for success through the use of an offshore professional doing time consuming tasks for you, while you sleep, to achieve your goals. Join us or use us, you decide.

One Website, Two Countries, and Three Million New Jobs by 2020

To whom this might concern: my vision is 123×2020 (pronounced as 1-2-3 by 2020), which stands for one website, two countries, and three million new jobs by the year 2020. The website is ownacoder.com. Its mission is to give the average American more time, more power and a better opportunity for success. This is possible through the use of an educated professional in Vietnam doing time-consuming tasks for you, while you sleep, to achieve your goals. This offshore help is affordable even to a college student. For example, an entry-level web programmer is less than two thousand dollars for the entire year, counting from the date of membership activation, see Get Started. Using innovative outsourcing technology as provided by ownacoder.com to turn the average American into professionals with unremarkable offshoring skills should hopefullly generate more than three million new jobs in the USA by the year 2020. One of these new jobs has already taken by John Pearson. It was he who helped to nail down the above mission statement.
