Website Design References
Marie Gale of Chandler's Soaps. Words in a Row designed and optimized this
site for the search engines and handles all online marketing. This site
makes money for its owner:
Wow! I can't believe the website you designed for us is already listed
correctly in Yahoo. It's only been five days since the site went up! How on
earth did you do that!?
Marie Gale
Owner, Chandler's Soaps
Gary Knutson of Silver Lining Health Products. Words in a Row designed and
optimized this site for the search engines and registered it with the top
50 search engines and directories. This site consistently makes money for
its owner, without affiliate programs or selling ads.
Barbara Dunn-Reeves, of Dark Horse Ranch. This is a site we re-designed
graphically and optimized for the search engines. It is a modest commercial
success as a website, selling her products regularly.
Words in a Row created a very beautiful website for my business, DarkHorse
Ranch, Inc.
I absolutely love my site, as do those who visit it. I routinely receive
compliments from internet visitors, and requests to link to my site because
it is so upscale and aesthetic. Since Jere Matlock created my site, my
ecommerce business has increased.
Being a computer novice, and at the same time an artist who is very
particular about my artform and its presentation, I made voluminous
requests of Jere, and asked endless technical questions. Jere incorporated
all my requests and gave me the artistic license that I needed and wanted.
At the same time, he expertly incorporated his talent as a designer into a
technically sophisticated website that functions as an ecommerce site. He
was patient and kind throughout the evolution of the design from start to
finish, answering all my questions in layman's terms that I could
understand.
I take great pride in my website and how it presents my work, my art and my
business to the world wide web.
I would highly recommend Jere Matlock and Words in a Row to any individual
or business desiring the very best in website design.
Barbara Dunn-Reeves
DarkHorse Ranch Inc.
Bret Rigney of Rigney Graphics. Words in a Row consults with Rigney
Graphics on site re-designs and website marketing projects:
I have to say I am very impressed.
Your callouts on the design flaws were very warranted and not at all
"nitpicking" - you should see me when I get started. The rest of the
suggestions for changes or page additions I fully agreed with...
I will finish reading the e-mails you sent - I had to write back before I
was done reading them, I was so impressed....

Marketing References
Connie Harris. We have been marketing her Art Express website for about
four years, off and on. We recently got her website the #1 placement in
Altavista for the keywords "motivational art" (her product). This website
is a real money-maker and has no affiliate programs or advertising,
banners, or anything else -- their success comes almost entirely from the
search engine optimizing service and online marketing service Words in a
Row has provided for them (and, of course, their own excellent products and
products). Connie attributes the success of the website to the work done by
Words in a Row. Prior to our work, the site sold a poster or two per week.
Now, they've had to hire staff to take care of the orders rolling in.
Words In A Row did a splendid job of marketing my web site. Not only did
they perform the requests I had in a timely manner but they offered me
additional solutions to the complex problem of getting the most for my
money in marketing on the internet. As a result my orders have increased in
quantity and quality. Thanks, "Words In A Row" for a professional job well
done!
Connie Harris
Art Express
Dan Mueller, of Gloves in a Bottle. This is a site we have re-designed,
optimized for the search engines, and which we are marketing. With a lot of
patient work and testing various avenues of online promotion, this site is
finally making money for its owner.
Search Engine Optimizing References
Pat Lusey of Uptrends Management Software. Words in a Row optimized the
Uptrends website for the search engines and re-registered it properly.
Here's what Pat has to say:
I first hired a consultant to help develop a web site for us in 1995. Since
then I've had about six different consultants, web experts, etc. I've hired
various companies to improve our position on the WWW.
As soon as I started speaking with Jere Matlock I realized I had discovered
someone with a much deeper understanding of the complexities of this medium
than anyone else with whom I'd worked. And my perceptions were accurate, as
we've gotten some great results. We had Words in a Row do some extensive
work on our site recently, and this month virtually every major statistic
we measure to determine our success on the WWW is up! So yes, I'd recommend
Words in a Row highly!
Pat Lusey,
CEO,
Uptrends Management Software, Inc.
John McMurdo of QLAV.com. This site was not findable at all on the search
engines and directories until Words in a Row optimized the site and
re-registered it. It now comes up as #2 and #3 at Google in a search for
its product, the "portable bidet", and is similarly ranked in many other
search engines and directories.
Dave Ahrens of Management Success! -- Words in a Row optimized this site
and re-registered it in the search engines and directories. It went from
being unfindable in the search engines for its key words to having
excellent placement in the search engines and directories for the key word
phrase, "auto repair shop management" -- the service it provides.
Susan Hanasab of ChristmasGifts.com -- Words in a Row provided Search
Engine Optimizing for this client about 2-1/2 years ago. At that time, the
site was impossible to find unless you knew it was there. Now, in a search
on almost any search engine, ChristmasGifts.com comes up at or near the top
of the listings in a search for the popular key word phrase "Christmas
gifts", most often in the #1 or #2 spot. In those ensuing years, Susan has
done nothing else to optimize or re-register the site, nor has she made any
efforts to increase the ranking of her site in the search engines. The
Search Engine Optimizing service we provide is not a gimmick that quickly
fades -- it is a service that keeps on working over time.
Dave Martin of TheDebtTrap.Org - when Words in a Row took on this client,
the site could not be found on the major search engines in a search for its
service -- "credit card debt reduction" -- a very popular and highly
competitive search phrase. There are thousands of companies out there
promoting this service. After a thorough search engine optimization and
re-design, the site now comes up on the first page at AltaVista in a search
for this key word phrase, often in the #1 position.

Commercial Website Design
What are you really trying to accomplish through your website? If it is a
commercial website then it has several purposes, but the main thrust must
be to sell your product or service. To put it bluntly, "To make you money".
So, first, your website must be an effective advertisement for your product
or service. Second, it should give your visitors enough information about
your company so they feel confident about buying from you. That's the kind
of info usually found in corporate brochures, fact sheets, testimonials and
so on. Third, it ought to further your public relations message to the
general public about the kind of company you are and the good things you've
accomplished.
Your website may not need flaming logos or the latest in Flash animations
to accomplish those goals. What seems good to the website designer is not
always good for the website. For tons of practical advice on how you can
accomplish your goal of making money from your website (and how we might
help you) see our How to Design a Commercial Website page.
Search Engine Optimization
and Website Marketing
Search engine optimization is the most effective thing one can do to market
a website on the net. Marketing websites is not yet a science--it's still
an artform. We've practiced the art of website marketing for the last six
years to help our client websites make money for their owners. The first
and most important step is "search engine optimizing" of your website,
which is achieved by making your pages very visible to the search engines,
giving them exactly what they need to have in order to index your site give
your site a high ranking when someone searches for your product or service.
We routinely get #1 placement at search engines like Google for our
clients. Sometimes this is easily done, and sometimes it requires a
complete re-design of a website to do away with things that make your site
invisible to the search engines. For lots of free, practical advice on how
you can do search engine optimization for your site (and how we might be
able to help you), visit our Search Engine Optimizing page.

Business Marketing Survival Kit - Joel Sussman of Optimal Marketing has put
together a Business Marketing Survival Kit which has a lot of useful
information, in the form of books other educational tools. Especially
useful if you are new to all this web marketing stuff.
Audette Media's Website - I've subscribed to several of Audette Media's
newsletters since I first got on the web many years ago. Particularly
helpful are "I-Design", in which you can post design questions and receive
knowledgeable answers, "I-Search" and "I-Helpdesk" by Eva Rosenberg. If
you're serious about designing your site to sell something, and about
marketing it so it DOES sell something, you should subscribe.
Search Engine Watch - Danny Sullivan's site is THE reference bible about
the search engines. It has more info that you could use, but it is very
well arranged and easy to follow. Subscribe to his newsletter for monthly
updates on what the search engines are up to. They change constantly, and
it pays to know what's going on with them if you hope to have a good
ranking for your site in them.
Phaster.com. There's a simple, abbreviated form with which to submit your
site directly about a half a dozen search engines and directories located
on Ben's Phaster.com site. Use it if you're in a hurry and don't have the
time or don't want to take the trouble to go through and hand-submit to all
the ones I list on my "Where To Go" page to register with the search
engines and directories. Of course, you'll miss a lot of them by doing so.
For Your Skin
The best, gentlest soaps I've ever used. All natural, hand-made, and
scented only with pure essential oils (or with no fragrance added). A full
line of all-natural products including body oils, baby oil, powders, bath
salts, lip balms, and hand & body creams. If you have dry skin, you'll love
these soaps and oils as they do not strip away your own natural oils when
you wash. Their foot products are stupendous. Try them, you'll like them!
Chandler's Soaps also ships gift baskets anywhere.
We believe Gloves in a Bottle to be the best skin protectant available.
While it is NOT an all-natural product, it is very effective at protecting
your hands (and other exposed skin) against chemicals and toxins. We use it
ourselves when out doing yard work to protect against poison oak! If you
are using synthetic chemical detergents or bleaches, or chemical
fertilizers or pesticides, Gloves in a Bottle will help protect your skin
and prevent absorption of these chemicals. It even protects your skin while
wearing latex gloves--from the latex itself! Vital for those with allergies
to household cleaning products or with latex allergies.

Poetry
Dean Blehert
"Dean Blehert is quite simply the finest satiric poet working in America
today." -- Satire Magazine.
Here's a quote from one of Dean's books:
"This is just poetry; it won't save you, but may locate you, so that a
rescue party can be sent out."
"Russell Salamon lives in Los Angeles in a cupboard like a secret brew of
herbs saved for the moment of escape. He is a breakout artist, an escape
master. He has broken into present time often and carried away the dew from
roses and put it on reader's eyebrows. He has been collecting sounds of
galloping horses so that he may stampede on your eardrums. An avid
collector of reality-in-the-bud before it flowers into cities, he has
shaped many a moment into strange aromas and has released them on breezes.
If you smell something unusual it is your hair burning.
Russell has several books available in typeset manuscript form with an
original painting on the cover painted by himself. These are interesting to
look at and enhance the quality of presentation. The paintings are "color
music". The books are: Redwoods in the Rain; Breakfast in the Twelfth
Century; Love Poems for Older Women; Lighting the Eyes; Say Those Stars
Slowly I Am Still Learning; Technical Difficulties at the Resurrection; and
the latest, finished yesterday, Two Infinities Dancing. There is also
Descent into Cleveland, a poetic novel. Cost 22 dollars for the handbound
books; 20 for Descent into Cleveland; shipping is included. Order from the
author at 10537 Chandler Blvd., North Hollywood, CA 91601-2926,
818-761-4568
Selling poetry is not commerce; it gets the
immortal-being-trying-to-speak-up exemption. Trying to find immortal eyes
who will read poetry is not commerce. Poetry promotion can not possibly
compete with painkillers, beer, pizza, car insurance, sales tax, income
tax, and other attacks. Exchanges of poetry for cash falls into the area of
duty, as when your son returns from jail. Of course, he is an unethical
bum, but you must take him in. But this poetry is not bum-speak, it is a
secret dissolving fluid. You dab some on your desire to create a
civilization and poof, the professional unconsciousness that has been
covering you like seagull guano starts to wash off. The poems are
contagious. Contagion of creation, contagion of beauty--holy rutabaga! here
comes the epidemic--people in a high state of interest in existence. We
shall flood the world with artists of life, life artists. You in your best
form, creator of worlds, or at least of tomorrow morning without a
hangover. (Buy poetry, it is good for your sins."
The poetry of Russell Salamon is worth buying and reading.

Would it be in any way an assumption that a company "like this" would
at all be responsible for helping $cn to their "search engine fame" and the perceived

Jere Matlock is an unimportant guy, and so are most scientologist web
design firms - tiny little firms. What makes them succeed is not
intelligence, it is that they have such an incredibly high number of
hosts. Even before Google, search engines had a "high opinion" of
top-level addresses. The spam page project didn't help much. But these
many index pseudo-pages, of the kind http://www.exactscientology.net,
these do the job.
Additionally, what helps the clams is the laziness of the critics. Many,
many critic pages haven't been updated in years. They link to websites
that have been defunct for years. Kindof working with a phone book from
1991 - would you expect any meaningful information?? If these critic
pages would link to *existing* pages, these critic pages would get up in
the rankings.

You're right. But the only fact to check out and find out the new possible
adresses, and make the change, that's more than half an hour of painful
work. That's why I'm certainly lazy: in half an hour, I can put something
like 250 new words translated , or 500 words of new posts or critics. But
you're right nevertheless.

I see. Thanks for the info. It sounds like a "maintenance issue."
So if I am reading critical $cn sites and click a link on a page that has expired or the
link doesn't work, that's how the search engine does not give it a better
standing? (I'm guessing yes.) It's not an outdated type of problem though? Do you mean
that a page has been updated, it would therefore need a new link from whoever runs the
site to help it be better recognized by the search engine? What exactly does defunct
mean - ?
I'll take note when I am backroading and list those issues as I see'um.
I could be labeled a pain in the ass though ;)
Thanks again,

Indeed. The more people link to you, the more "important" you are :-)
>It's not an outdated type of problem though? Do you mean

with defunct I meant "non existant". Here some defunct web pages:
http://www.cybercom.net/~rnewman
http://home.pacific.net.sg/~marina and http://ww.best.com/~mchong
http://www.best.com/~dkeith
http://www-astronomy.mps.ohio-state.edu/~ignaz
http://www.mpikg-teltow.mpg.de/people/katinka
http://www.islandnet.com/~martinh/webring.htm
Some of these websites have a new address, some of these do no longer
exist. And if someone links mostly to non existant addresses, no one
will link to him. (Why should I link to a website full of broken links?)
Anyway - one key to success in search engine placement is to have
properly working links. The software has been available for 4 years now,
and it is free. I wouldn't even be surprised if the clam cultists use it
regularly to check their own websites.

Thanks for your reply and explanation. I remember you posting a little on this topic
before and by the "find broken links" in your sig line, it's obvious
that a computer is smart enough to not have anyone do this manually. Now the people who
use their computers must become smart enough to use this software
as a general maintenance necessity. It's like a broken door in your house. Just imagine
how hard to open those doors if they are broken and dragging on the ground. It would seem
unwelcoming in that people could not get anywhere too easy.

Search engines such as google dont rely on links to list 99.9% of their
listings... they use bots to search the net and list what the bots find... its
automated. (bots = robots. software robots)
entire sectors can be eliminated though by just programming the bots to ignore
whatever key words or combinations they wish to program the bots to ignore.
