Tags at the bottom

If you look at several of the posts I've made you'll see tags at the bottom. These are great as they allow quick viewing of related topics that have already been posted on this blog. They do so because if you click on the tag you'll find that it's created it's own link. The beauty of this is that it's picked up by search engines too and makes it more likely that your site will come up when folks search that term, for example "Harvey Mitchell."

If you want to see the outcome of that simply Google "Trey Grayson." Grayson is nationally recognized rising star in the GOP. At my blog, which is, no excuses, political, unlike where I see this one going, I've posted on Trey several times. You'll see that my blog and others are in the top ten when you google his name.

This is important because folks may google things like: Kentucky Small Business or Kentucky Entrepreneurship or Agri-tourism Kentucky and by virtue of the wording we've used, the tag strategies, and of course readership, our site will pop up higher on the search engines.

If our goal is to influence the debate about public policy on e'ship, you simply cannot get more bang for your buck than this blogging approach.

Folks who know me know I don't speak in superlatives like that very often, but trust me when I say this is one of the best things we could be doing to spread our message in KY and elsewhere.
