SEO. What is it and do I need it?
What is this thing called SEO (we’ll tell you)? Is it the next big thing in web (yes)? Do we as web site owners need it (usually)? What exactly does it do (we’ll tell you that too)?
If you find yourself asking these questions then you may not be surprised to find yourself in good company. That is because even those who are implementing SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, for their sites may not have a real understanding of what is being done and how it is helping them or if it is helping them.

Properly done, it can help you, immediately and over time, improve your ranking on the organic side of search results. Evaluating your site and code and appropriately integrating the content that is greatly sought by searchers in combination with specific registrations can have a substantial impact on your search engine placement.

To be a true Bourbon Whiskey, “America’s Native Spirit,” the only spirit distinct to the United States, it must meet certain criteria. First, it must be produced within the United States (95% of all Bourbon comes from Kentucky). Next, the recipe. A key ingredient in Bourbon is the grain mixture called the mash bill, which, by law, must contain at least 51% corn. In fact, most Bourbons contain 60-80% corn.
