Blessings of Springtime
glorious sunlight
with the blessings of springtime
life upon the shore
I took this photo while walking along the shore near my home. It is one of my favorite places. I hope you got to enjoy your day.

Sunlight through the rain
breaking through the rain
sunlight’s grace moves through the trees
birds dance on the wind
Early Spring
springtime is nearing
flowers eating the sunshine
blown by the cool breeze
Moz Chapter 3 KEYWORD RESEARCH
Another post based on this past quarter’s research on SEO via Moz
There are many key tools for determining a good keyword strategy. The first, and most important one, is the act of questioning. Starting with core questions is critical to developing the right focus on for the other research tools. Who are our customers? What are their goals? What do they want? How do they search? Once you have answers for these, you can explore several other tools like:
-
-
- Google Keywords Planner
- Google Trends
- Moz Keyword Explorer
-
Google’s tools are perhaps the most important, as the vast majority of US based search is done via Google. Google Keywords gives you the ability to explore which keywords are relevant, which have high competition, and which have low competition. The “finding new keywords” tool looks particularly powerful. Google Trends is another tool that is worthy of adding to your toolbox. With it you can see what the world is searching for, both at the broadest levels as well as refined to the local or even hyper-local. Besides being able to search for specific keywords, you can also looking at macro trends across the internet. Moz, one of the leaders in digital marketing has their own Keyword Research tool. In many respects, it’s more powerful than Google’s. Especially for the Pro version. But even the free version has great details on their research dashboard, including keyword suggestions and SERP analysis.
With this type of work, you can determine the value of any keyword and build strategies around them.
Cherry Blossoms
all the beauty of springtime
encapsulated
I try to walk every day. During those walks, I seek out signs of the seasons, of change, of life’s patterns. Lately, I’ve searched for signs of spring. Crocuses, daffodils, lilies, and now cherry blossoms.
First day of spring
this first day of spring
amidst the rain and cool wind
under the firs’ grace
Temperamental Weather
walking in the rain
which soon becomes a strong wind
and then it’s sunshine
Along the Water
along the water
under the sun, between trains
beside calm waters
I just finished up winter quarter, so I was able to spend the day as I wished. Today’s the projected last day of sun for a while, so I opted for a waterside walk today. Edmonds is one of my favorite places, so off I went.
Signs of Spring
stand under the sun
and the regalness of trees
caressing the sky
Signs of spring grow. Blossoms forming on trees, daffodils upright, crocuses tall. Soon the cherry trees will regale us with their yearly show. One all to brief, thus we must take the time to watch.
