Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a form of marketing used by businesses and organizations to gain a higher visibility in the search results generated from online search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
For my purposes, I would like this blog to appear on the first page of the search results upon typing my first and last name into Yahoo, Google, and Bing.
Right now, the top results are my Facebook and LinkedIn profiles. The blog, however, is nowhere to be found amongst the first 30 pages of search results on Google. That’s right, 30 pages (possibly more if I kept on going). Looks like I have my work cut out for me.
I’ll start by submitting my blog’s URL to the search engines and shamelessly plugging in my key words at the bottom of this post! There will also be periodic updates to track my progress.
Let the Search Engine Optimization begin!

A Foldable Bike: Quirky, Yet Functional New Product on My WishList
With a suggestion from a friend and in my attempt to be fit, I decided to make biking a new hobby. After fixing up my little brother’s rusty old bike that we all forgot about behind the garage, my bike-riding adventure began. One problem: How was I going to transport this bike to a nice park nearly 15 miles away?
Thankfully, the helpful friend who gave me the idea to pick up biking had a bike rack for two attached to the back of her car. It was here that another problem arose. After about an hour of getting our fingers pinched and using all of our strength to lift up those heavy bikes again and again to get them in a secure position, I was completely worn out. I was already breaking out into a sweat and we had not even left my driveway!
Finally, by nothing short of a miracle, we got them on and were off to the Houston Memorial Park!
Once we got to the park and as my bike-riding skills were slowly returning from my childhood, we had a blast. For anyone that is looking for a fun and easy way to exercise and burn some calories, this is the best thing to do!
As much fun as it was, I haven’t gone back to the park for one main reason: the hassle of getting those bikes on the rack! It got me thinking, “Somebody should really invent a foldable bike that will fit in the trunk!”
One Google search click later, I come to find out foldable bikes already exist in a variety of brands and styles. Looks like I’m not the only one who thinks bike racks are a source of needless frustration!
Foldable bikes are chainless, which minimizes the need for repairs, and fold in half for easy transport in planes, trains, RV's, boats, and automobiles. The only downside for me right now is the price which is upwards of $700. While I’ll probably be limited to riding around the neighborhood on my non-foldable bike for now, the foldable bike is at the top of my wish list of products!
