Have you ever had someone tell you that your opportunity or business was just a “Get rich quick scheme?” Heck, maybe those were the words that came out of your own mouth at one point in time.

As Veterans Day passes by, I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have made sacrifices in the service of our country. And I’d like to specifically thank the families of those veterans who also made similar sacrifices. Although you weren’t primarily in harms way, your loved ones were. I know, from experience, the hardships placed on the families of those serving in the military. So thank you.

Thanks to All Veterans on Veterans Day

A veteran has many different definitions. Some say that a true veteran is someone who has seen combat, or served in the military during war time. Others say that your veteran status depends on your time served in active duty. I say, you are a veteran if you served honorably in the military for the term you signed up for. In this day and age, small or large, there’s always a war in progress and whether you’ve seen combat or not, you were willing to serve.

Okay, so here’s proof that Google has lost it’s mind as far as how they index websites, and which websites they’re giving the most credit to. For example, if you type in the words, “save money on car insurance,” what results would you expect to see?

As for me, I would assume that I’d see Geico or Progressive, followed by several other car insurance companies. In fact, before seeing the results, I was absolutely positive that they would be dominating the entire first page. If not them, then websites like bestautoinsurance.net, which allows you to search for the best rates.

Instead, the first seven listings are as follows:

1. www.edmunds.com › Car Tips & Advice › Auto Insurance
2. frugaldad.com/2010/03/03/save–money-on-car–insurance/
3. today.msnbc.msn.com/…money/…/how-reduce-your-auto–insurance-…
4. www.insure.com › Car Insurance › Car Insurance Basics
5. www.wikihow.com › … › Insurance › Car Insurance
6. usatoday30.usatoday.com/money/…/2008-05-05-car–insurance_N.ht…
7. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG0PHoXuTOI – The Frugalicious Show

Coming in at number eight is finally Progressive, then Yahoo finance and lastly 21st.

Along side my home based business, I also offer webmaster services such as SEO, wordpress website design and website maintenance and editing. Some say that the secret to success in business is to find a need and then fill that need. Thus, people need money and time freedom, and they also need someone who knows what they’re doing when it comes to designing, marketing and editing websites. I know that I’m filling a need and it’s been profitable for me and those I work with.

The other day, I was contacted by someone who does something similar online, she designs and promotes Facebook pages for her clients. She occasionally runs across clients that also need a service that she knows very little about, SEO. She contacted me because she wants to fulfill all the needs of her customers, when it comes to the internet. I, on the other hand, don’t really design Facebook pages and could use here skills in that area as well.
