Truckee Growth & Development

2005-08-24T17:26:00.000-07:00

Well you probably wouldn't expect a dog to talk about the development that is going on in our town of Truckee, but Mom is thinking of buying a lot on the Truckee River to save a place:

"The full-time population of Truckee has grown faster than the state average, adding approximately 5,000 residents in 10 years. Truckee's population is expected to hit 25,000 in 20 years, but with the current rate of growth, that figure could be met by 2015.

Officials expect the population to grow due to a number of factors including development and second homeowners moving into their Truckee homes full-time. "

Our realtor clients will be needing lots of help with this sort of development. We can't wait. We think we'll need to see if DaveN can help us as Google is ignoring our spam complaints.

On another note, Dad bought his Squaw Valley Ski pass at the early bird rate. We are thinking that we should invest in one of the condos at the village in Squaw Valley. Could be some good profits in that.

Mom broke our Blog

2005-08-23T17:58:00.000-07:00

Sam here! In trying to integrate the xml feed into our blog, Mom broke the blog. She is going to try and add it again this week, but with all the c#$p going on about links, she is still upset. Especially today when one of her clients was upset because they #3 on Google for their selected search term. She told them that the site above them was doing bad things and she would report them to Google.

Has anyone thought about doing some skiing this winter? Well my husband has and we are getting that damn pass again. They are starting to resell the Village at Squaw valley condominiums. We are seeing 1 bedroom 1 bath condos selling at $450,000 right at the base of Squaw Valley. They are ski in / ski out. I think that is quite the deal.

My mom said her neck is hurting from talking on the phone and typing at the same time. If anyone has any info on how to integrate the xml onto our sidebar at the left can you please let us know. She's getting a little pissy that she can't get it to work. Well she only spent 5 mins on it, but then did break the blog for 2 days...............

Pounding Headache

2005-08-20T15:29:00.000-07:00

Mom spent the day doing keyword research for a client she thinks is going to try and steal her business, so she had to re-type everything so her report was very cryptic. I guess if the client did end up opening a SEO division, she could take them to court? She's doing 5 projects for them at a very reduced rate. We'll see what happens. They are pretty thrifty, so maybe she should back out of it. We will see. ~Sammyb

Friday Rant

2005-08-19T18:26:00.000-07:00

Sam here - Mom has been typing like crazy today. She got lots of new work this week. She said all she is going to do is research and sales and try and have the snowboard crew do some of the other stuff. Anyway, I think she is planning to work every weekend until her and Dad go back to the Yucatan. Two nights at the Royal Hideaway this time, then Club Maeva Tulum a great resort located on Xpu Ha beach. The food is good and I think they are going to have a little ocean view. She said to say that if anyone is reading this blog, you may want to consider visiting Tahoe in September when it is less crowded and you get that nice pine scent from all the beautiful trees. Lots of outdoor activities and Dad can take you on a mountain biking tour or hiking all over the lake. Really cool hikes and biking for all experience levels. You may want to think about it. Anyway, they are making a fancy dinner tonight and going to shopping and to sushi tomorrow. May hit a casino, just for the heck of it. Signing off. ~Sammyb

I thought is was a girl thing

2005-08-17T15:46:00.000-07:00

Well Mom has been laughing away at the computer today. She says she thought girlz just ranted and raved, but she's seen alot of Big Boyz having little fits too funny!! Then she listened to the Daily SearchCast #9 and heard Mr. Sullivan talking about his little fit about that dumb size frenzy.

Mom has lots of fits. She really don't like it when we tear up and poop in the house, but she is nice to take us running and swimming every day.

It's weird sometimes she spends hours not working, but I think she is doing something on the computer. She was trying to explain it to me, but I am confused. She said she will open the internet up and go to some places she likes and then Wow she is shopping again. Sometimes she just reads and types very very fast. Then the phone rings and she just stares at it till it stops and then back to more searching. She says the internet sends her into a Tangential space, jumping from one thing to the next, many many times unrelated in any way. But what about the clients and the work, I asked her? She said she hired some snowboarders to do that so she could spend her time getting SIDETRACKED on the internet.

This is how her day went. She opened up her email and she found herself signing up for an affiliate program; opened up the rss reader and found herself listening to SearchCast #9 via Itunes (odd she didn't purchase any music in the middle of that tangent - that would have made it a double tangent of sorts), then she started typing about the interesting news out there and sent a bunch of emails out to clients about it all. I think she did schedule a conference call, but I know when she opened her Jcrew.com bill and saw that they raised her credit limit she started looking at fall sweaters (the enlarged image of the sweater she liked froze the computer so there was a slight temporary tangent there too). Then she got a voicemail from our pet sitter who said she could watch us and she started looking at a spa resort to go to with Daddy. One of her realtor clients gave her a gift certicate. Then an idea, send that realtor a little note about getting more links. Next thing you know, she's frantically running 10-15 different programs on her computer and it goes on and on .... oohps one more tangent after looking at the hotel, she thought that was such a good lunch at http://www.ilfornaio.com/ with those interesting people from SES. She said we'll have to start cooking meals like that at home, so now she's searching recipies and she hates to cook.

Weren't we talking about Boyz and Girlz - jeeez!

2005-08-16T15:45:00.000-07:00

Well the vet came by today and brought us our special dog kibble. bethabernathy seems obsessed with the internet, but she has alot of very happy clients. She did take us on a nice long run along the Truckee River. Willy ran off 2 miles yesterday and she wasn't too happy about that. I think she might have used the F word.

I know she is upset with Google about links or something because I heard her talking to Patrick Gavin on the phone today. She said that was the best part of SES short of meeting Mike Grehan, who she said, has a pretty cool accent.

More about animals at Ian's place. We love monkeys too

Spam Reporting

2005-08-15T16:16:00.000-07:00

Sam here ... busy today trying to help mommy get 1 of her clients above the spam sites that are keeping her site from getting into the center screen on Google. So, we have looked into text links from 2 vendors, reported spam to Google and have found new directories to submit to with the help of one of our brand new employees who likes to snowboard.

We'll see how our site lists out in the next update.

On another note, we are encouraging everyone to Join SMA-NA, Mom has been a member for a while now and thinks it is a great organization thanks to Ian Mc.

Sempo let Willy and Me join, although I don't think the SMA will though.

Links, Google & Matt Cutts

2005-08-14T11:32:00.000-07:00

Beth said Dogs weren't allowed at SES San Jose so we went over to our dog sitters house and played and hiked for 3 days straight.

She came home on Thursday and said that SES San Jose was fairly insiteful. She said she spent the whole day in the same conference room listening to people lie about links and talking about being natural.

Our Daddy, Paul, a famous Tahoe Area Mountain Biking & Hiking Guide, didn't know what she was talking about.

HOW COULD OUR FAVORITE SEARCH ENGINE LIE TO US ABOUT LINKS. We thought it was fairly unique situation when you have Patrick Gavin selling text link ads in one session and the next session Matt Cutts says buying links is unnatural and can red flag Google and devalue the links.

Beth went to the Google Engineer meet & Greet at the Google dance party and she said she asked Matt why when you search for "lake tahoe real estate" all the sites listed on the first page are portals and the realtor sites have tons of links and wow those realtor sites have some very bad links including porn, webrings and every other type of cr*p link you could think of. He said it was a very big mountain and maybe to try for something else and something about Mom & Pop sites having trouble ranking. Well my Mom sounded kindof upset. She didn't think her clients were Mom & Pop sites considering that their brokerages sell only
3 - 60 Million $ Lake Tahoe properties.

Lake Tahoe is the Bay Area's premiere destination playground. Selling properties to people like Tiger Woods, the head of MSN, clients are constantly being interviewed by the NY Times, etc. etc.....

She was confused as to why Google and all those panel people, were saying that it is all about the quality of links and that it isn't about the number of links.

Time for some kibble and nice long hike and swimming on this very big mountain. Thanks Matt from Mommy and BTW nofollow doesn't work on my blog - thank god!!

2005 Predictions for Sempo-Tahoe

2005-01-29T17:57:00.000-08:00

Howdy! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzzzzzzz Uppppppppppppppp?

Willy and I have been so damn busy. We think we're hiring an office manager to run the old Sempo-Tahoe gig.

We're dumping those other people. Their reputations SUCK and it is really hurting the industry.

We've been kicking some major A** with SEM or SEO whatever you might want to call it.

We know that what's her name has no idea what in the Sam Hell she's doing. We attended an SES where she said she didn't want the job, but well how strange, she is staying as chairman of the board. What a crock of @#$^*@,

We don't play office here.

Heh!

Sincerely,
Sammyb~
Founder & Top Dog Chief of Sempo-Tahoe

I hope to speak on behalf of the Pets at SEORADIO

2004-10-10T16:08:00.000-07:00

I am busily working away with a translator to see if I can get onto www.seoradio.com. We think it would be a great way to get the word out about Top Dog of Search. Stern is taking us, so we think we can get on seoradio.com. I'll have bethabernathy call Brad Fallon tomorrow about it. Willy will put it on her calendar.

We think we are going to the SEO Road show in S.F. bethabernathy said she would drive us down there. My beemer broke down, so she's taking us in the Hummer.

We had a nice Cat named Walter sign up today. He self appointed himself as the Commander and Chief of our Canadian Chapter. He's real purrrrrrrrrrty.

I took those other people's survey today. It was hard answering the questions as I am a dog and my revenue is kibble, but I do run the adsense on our site, so I thought that I qualified.

If you would like to vote for me, I am running for the top dog of search.

Sincerely,

~Sammyb

A Message to 1Pee

2004-10-08T13:03:00.000-07:00

We have 33 pets who are planning a surpeeze attack:

Another One Bites The Dust:
Steve walks warily down the street, with the brim pulled way down low
Ain't no sound but the sound of his feet, machine guns ready to go

Are you ready, Are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I'm gonna get you too Another one bites the dust

How do you think I'm going to get along, without you, when you're gone
You took me for everything that I had, and kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust

There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him you can treat him bad and leave him
When he's down
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you I'm standing on my own two feet Out of the doorway the bullets rip repeating the sound of the beat

2004-10-06T14:30:00.000-07:00

Sammyb here!! We are noticing a trend, a club, of sorts. Their the bad boys of search. They might let us in, because, we think WE BAD too. They real bad, whooooooooooo hooooooooooooo!!

Survey: Who's Top Dog of Search

2004-10-05T16:24:00.000-07:00

With all the survey's related to search going on, we thought we must do something. So last night, in about 15 minutes, we came up with the survey, Is Sam the Top Dog of Search? We really want to know what you think as we plan to publish the results world wide. This, very serious study is headed up by some bad black hat dogs. We might get Grommit in on it as he is bad a**.

More news, our press release has received an award from Mike Grehan. bethabernathy is going to S.F. in the spring to collect the kibble he has awarded us. While, you may have seen me driving my new beemer, I don't drive all that well, I am a dog. My name is Sammyb and I am the Sempo Tahoe the Top Dog of Search, please vote for me.

One other item. We want to publicly announce that we are quitting our day jobs to run Sempo Tahoe and to participate in the padded room at SEW. You may ask, how will you survive on Kibble alone? Well its fairly simple, we do it for the good of search worldwide. And we can survive on kibble, that is the beauty of the Organization, so to speak or bark....

Our 1st Press Release with PRWeb

2004-10-03T18:07:00.000-07:00

I am very excited to announce that Willy and I have put together our first Sempo-Tahoe press release. We worked all night long to gather the content together and it is going out tomorrow via PRWeb. They offer this as a free service. The press release is to announce our 3 new legal advisors, the ferrets, behind bars. They have been doing a bang up job in jail.

Tell A Friend - Its New!

2004-10-02T11:28:00.000-07:00

I am so excited. Willy learned asp and set up a Tell A Friend about Sempo-Tahoe to Promote our Pet club + 1 hat.

We Think We've Found Frank

2004-10-01T13:19:00.000-07:00

I've gotten the Ferrets together to try and locate Frank. We think we found him over at 1Pee ext. 2528. It would be Frankie. Wow, those Ferrets work fast. They must be bored in Jail. They contacted the prosecutor's office in Hamilton County, who said that they should file a police report with Fishers Police Department. They could take care of the situation for free. Oh ... they are in Indiana, same place as the host. I'll keep you posted. I have to talk with the Ferrets again, but they are behind bars, so I have to make an appointment with the warden first.

We think we are going to hit Heff's place this weekend. Willy is confirming now.

2004-09-26T15:17:00.000-07:00

Sempoo Tahoo is hobnobbing with some big times. We've been to Trump's place for some fine kibble type caviar. Got an invite to Heff's place, that is next weekend. We are keeping the beemer, but are looking at Hummers too. We are almost 95% that we are going to get a spot on HBO and Showtime. This is big time for the Top Dog of Search. It is the Search Engine Marketing Poofessional Organization - Tahoe.

Jail Bird Ferrets Appointed to the Legal Committee

2004-09-25T13:55:00.000-07:00

Today, some fancy Jail Bird Ferrets were appointed to Sempo-Tahoe's legal Committee. They hold office behind bars. Their review of our file, was ... well, incomplete. That's how we wanted it though.
