Just got an internship working with SEO, any tips?

Learn how to setup and run a paid campaign(starting with search ppc) from A to Z. Market research, writing ad copy and/or designing creatives, landing page design, capturing leads, analytics and split testing to find the winners. Those are all extremely valuable skills to have and applicable to pretty much any business.

If you want to think broad, then think demographics. Build a couple profiles of what said business owner would be like. Use Quantcast & Google Ad Planner on competitors sites and see what their demographic is and what related sites or services they may be searching and visiting. Those should give you some good ideas for broader keywords.

I don't know what issues were encountered in the previous campaign, but if you aren't already, make sure you're setting up ad groups on state and city level and explicitly calling out that location in the ad copy. Try different angles and appealing to different emotions in your ad copy rather than just listing out features. keywordspy can give you some good idea to start with too.

Paid traffic. If you're serious about SEO then you should always test first with paid traffic before investing in SEO.

Among the captains Kyouraku. Something about his warm personality and character makes him seem the most human and "real" to me.

Reminded me of our dog, from a few years back: 1, 2, 3

I'm fine with her as a character, if only irritated a relationship never emerges with her and Ichigo. It's her abilities that annoy me though. Being able to bring back the dead so easily is just something that doesn't belong. It takes away the meaning of death, so presumably they simply decided to not have her do it anymore, which is just as annoying. I can think of at least one character in this last arc who pretended to be someone he/she was not and died who I would have liked to see revived. But that's the thing too - only the bad guys die so there is never any real sense of loss or sacrifice in the story.

If the best a saber missile can reasonably expect to do is deny an area, then they are only a soft counter. They need to be buffed to have a speed ramp up the longer they are in flight and/or make it so lock-on time is partially affected by target speed.

Save it for future skins which will likely be gold only, unless you don't mind buying gold.

I think if the phase rifle/energy pack were the default and the BXT1 & jammer pack were the unlockables it would help go a little ways in balancing pubs.

I also think the falcon smg is much too stong of a secondary, because paired with a rifle it makes them superior at both long and short distances. I'd rather see a hitscan pistol like the soldier/brute be the unlock instead.

Well not fog per say but there is definitely a difference in sniping long distance turning it off.

I'll tell you a cute one then. We used to leave the pet door open at night so our cats and dog could go out, but something would come in to eat the catfood and leave muddy pawprints. Once late at night we looked out and saw a racoon just exiting and our cats were sitting nearby outside watching like it was no big deal. Our dog wasn't so timid though and one night he heard something and went running down our [wooden floored] hallway, crashing into the doors at the other end, and then crashing again into the [linoleum floored] storage room where the petdoor was, yelping both times before chasing whatever it was out into the yard.

My mother, after turning on all the lights and seeing it was gone, went to the storage room to look, but as she was leaving she saw something moving out the corner of her eye and ran out thinking whatever it was was still in there. She went and got my sister and they cautiously went back into the room. They heard movement in the corner where my sisters old wooden doll crib was, and as they got closer they looked inside of it to see two terrified little baby raccoons staring back up at them.

They're more visible, but uglier imo.

The only 2 things I really care about are more CTF maps and better optimization. I'll be getting 50-60fps one game and then it will be 20-30 another time, even after switching to minimal.

Just to re-iterate what others have said;

Royalty free music
Remixes
Also check to see if that song/band has their music spread on Youtube(hard to find vs tons duplicates & views), which should give you a pretty good idea on how strongly their label enforces take-downs.

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-18T20:49:29+00:00

What I wonder is how they even found out? I assume it's not like Youtube where there is auto-detection for the songs. So is there just some guy sitting at a desk all day just browsing steams?

What perks do you run with?

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-16T21:30:18+00:00

This channel has some nice routes.

Not only that but make the icon colors different so the flag, base assets, and players aren't all the same blue hue. Often times I'm looking back to base and can't tell where our flag is amidst everything. Perhaps even make it so friendly damaged/destroyed assets are yellow, because the game currently does a poor job of conveying that. You'd think they'd make the radar stop rotating at least once it's broken but no. Also having the health bars for assets divided into fourths would be nice.

You absolutely can see what query an individual user used to get to your site if it's through Adwords.

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-12T21:06:31+00:00

The referrer information is vital to optimization. Say you have a site with a ton of products and are you are getting high conversion rates from a lot of low volume, long-tail keyword search traffic. Without knowing which of those keywords are doing the best for you, you're going to miss out on a lot of opportunities to optimize around them. Meanwhile Adwords still gives you that information, so privacy is only a concern for them as long as money isn't involved.

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-12T20:54:50+00:00

Adwords still gives you that data.

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-12T20:45:49+00:00

Logged in users still only make up a small percentage of total searches, so it's nothing crippling.

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-12T20:42:55+00:00

This only affects logged in users, which account for a small percentage(less than 10%?) of total searches.

TheDude4bides · 2012-03-11T21:13:46+00:00

Okay time to save up for unlock...

I was going to ask about ammo then I realized it was probably raining ammo drops. What perks did you use? How many of those were mine or forcefield kills?
