Attract More Visitors

On this Thanksgiving I find that I have so much to be thankful for:

• You(!), my blog reader: For finding your way here and reading this blog. My hope is that you find what you seek and enjoy what you read.

• My Wife, Milen: For a huge amount of things (way too many to count), including her practical wisdom and her passion for arranging our travel (like Costa Rica!).
• My business Partner, Rick Henkin: For asking me to be the EVP of IncreaseOnlineProfits.com and for his great business sense, ability to carry a dream to fruition, clear thinking and clear writing among many other things.
• Our Launch of our website: IncreaseOnlineProfits.com early next month. Yes!
• My co-instructor at UCLA Extension, Beverly Macy: For being one of the most amazing people I know, not to mention being a Strategic Planning wizard and having a dynamite and dynamic sense of Marketing in every realm (Global, Social Media, offline, online, Web 2.0...).
• Our bunny rabbits: For showing us that a lot can communicated even without words and that sometimes it's great to simply jump for joy (called binking). When's the last time you jumped for joy?
• All of my Friends (you know who you are!): For being so thoughtful and supportive.
• The Internet: For giving us a platform we can all communicate better and more quickly on.
  Let's hope it remains free.
• The Long Tail of the Internet: For giving us an infinite and unlimited amount of niches and for giving every individual a community (no matter how small) they can belong to.

• Social Media: For giving us ways communicate better and more real-time than ever before with: Blogs (like Attract More Visitors), Photo sharing sites like Flickr, Video sharing sites like YouTube, etc.
• Social Networking: For giving us ways to stay in touch better and more often than ever before with LinkedIn contacts, Facebook friends, and Twitter followers.
• Wordpress and other Open Source Applications: For furnishing platforms for us to publish on, communicate with, and connect through.
• Plugin Creators, Coders, and Programmers Everywhere: For empowering our platforms and giving us the tools to do what we do.
• Wikis and Collaborative/Community Websites: For giving us places to contribute and come together in meaningful ways.
• Bloggers and Podcasters: For sharing your wisdom and insights in real time and on-the-fly.

• Creativity: Rising up from yoga and meditation, helping bring out great ideas and possibilities.
• The Universe: From subatomic particles to Super Novas and everything in between - giving us a playground to be creative in.
• That from where all Creativity emanates: Known by many names, worshipped in many forms, languages, and constructs: For allowing us to be...and be together.

Yes, we have much to be thankful for, so please pardon this partial list.

I'd also be thankful for your comments, if you'd care to share them:
