Spangler Internet Marketing – Local Focus Blog Network

FOCUS! Still working on it. Another good idea is not necessarily a good idea. There are only so many hours in a day and, without focus and discipline, the end result is not what it could be. So here we are with the latest iteration of Spangler Internet Marketing – Local Focus Blog Network.


Spangler Internet Marketing

Local Focus Blog Network

The general idea (you could call it a strategy) is to have a local blog network centered around a specific geographic location. In this instance the location is Mountain View, CA. If we were to use a longer tailed keyword, it would be a “geo-targeted local focus blog network”. Why do it? To see how an interlocked mini-blog-network will be treated by the search engines.

Where did I get the idea? While in the hospital recovering from quadruple bypass heart surgery I had time to do some introspection. Not knowing how much time I have lefton this still blue and green earth, I decided I should do more for my community. Well, here I am in this rather distinctive city of Mountain View, CA. All things considered, Mountain View is certainly better off than most US cities at this point. Still, home is where the heart is and that’s also where you are likely to have the most passion for your work. So … Mountain View, CA it is. Time will tell to what extent I am able to benefit my community. Oh, yes… there is a business purpose here. Gotta pay those hospital and doctor bills and, my good friends, Social Security plus is not enough.

I sure hope that good ole SeniorTweet comes out of this successful on both sides of that story. Want to help? We can use all the help and support you are willing to provide. Comments, criticism and suggestions are welcomed.

Thanks for your time. Hope to hear from you.

BTW- that table up there does double duty as a “sig file” as well.

Socrates WP Theme – New, Highly Customizable, Created by Marketers

You can go directly to Socrates Theme page here.

Main Logo Enhanced Socrates WP Theme   New, Highly Customizable, Created by Marketers

Features box Socrates WP Theme   New, Highly Customizable, Created by Marketers

I like all of these features and the ease of installation. But what I really like are the marketing enhancements of a squeeze page template, a sales page template and advanced SEO features. Socrates is selling like hotcakes and that popularity assures that even more improvements are to come. With Joel Comm’s name association, it has credibility in the marketplace. But folks, you know as well as I do, “The proof is in the pudding!” This is an outstanding theme with durability as well as flexibility. It is a premium theme and, yes, I am an affiliate but I don’t promote anything I don’t use. (Pudding enough?)

How to Monetize Your Blog – Use Sokule!


“How to monetize my blog?” is a question many bloggers ask and ask the same question about Twitter. Well I found an answer – notice I didn’t say THE answer. However, Sokule goes a long way toward answering that question while, at the same time, expanding your visibility and reach. Sokule has the added benefit of getting your word (and brand) out to
a lot of social media sites. So I am adopting Sokule and celebrate that progess with a little cartoon addition to the Sokule logo. Enjoy with me (or go directly to http://sokule.com if you are short on time).

Yes, Spangler Internet Marketing is the new business focus for Val Spangler, SeniorTweet. Much more on that to come as well. The blog is just getting started – so patience please.

Local Business Blog Network (Daily Progress Report)


Nothing like deadlines to help you make progress. My latest idea is the Progress Report form below that puts more incentive in me to make progress everyday on this Val Spangler Internet Marketing Blog Network project I am starting as I complete my recovery period from heart surgery (quadruple bypass). Ambitious – yes. Foolhardy – maybe. Harmful to recovery – we’ll see. But join me in this “epiphany” journey to making my home town, Mountain View, CA a better place to live and do business in. Your comments, criticism and suggestions are welcomed.
