GOOGLE ANALYTICS MAP DON’T LIE: OREGON TRAIL MEETS BOOMERPDX TRAIL

If Google Analytics is a trusted source, and why wouldn’t it be, then people from coast to coast stop right here. Did I say people? I meant bots from Chicago to Ashburn, Virginia take a moment on boomerpdx. Bots that don’t get sick and die. However you got here, and how long you stay, please […]

NEW BLOG QUESTION ON TWITTER, SO I ANSWERED

During a cruise through the twitterverse, one interesting question appeared, the question of starting a new blog. The query seemed sincere, so I responded with this: use WordPress, genesis framework, and a mobile-ready Studiopress theme, along with yoast seo. Now you’re ready to launch. It turned into a useful conversation with a writer in what […]

CALIFORNIA JAM FROM 18 TO 62

    What was the hot ticket in 1974? California Jam. Just ask anyone who says they were there.   It was the West Coast Woodstock without the brown acid, Altamont without the murder. Just a nice gathering after all the dust settled and music took a turn.   My wife found her ticket to […]

BLOG READERS, BOTS, AND WRITERS

Google analytics on blog readers is either the biggest tattletale in history, or an effective research tool. It shows and tells where blog readers like you find boomerpdx. Apparently I’m a big hit in Chicago, at least that’s what the bots say. Bot? What else hits a blogger page fifty times for an average of […]

AMAZON SEARCH FOR BITTER, ANGRY, PROFANE MEMOIR

    Amazon search is easy, like google, except you can buy the search results right away. Not so much on google prime. I’m not searching as much as researching the competition during editing breaks of my cancer memoir in the works, and happy to find great books on the topic, though not too many […]

Coaching For Best Business Practice Bottom Line

    I’ve heard a Russian saying about production workers: “We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us.”   It probably sounds funny in Russian. In America workers who pretend to work usually find other jobs.   Small business owners know their bottom line better than anyone. Whether they know a trade or mastered […]

Cultural Exchange Without Leaving Home

  Last night my cultural exchange student, better said as ‘our’ cultural exchange student, prepared dinner for seven.   And the kid can cook.   I know the difference when someone mails it in from the kitchen. How? Because someone I know tried doing it for years.   Me.   Now I’m much better and […]

BLOG TRAFFIC: CLICK THROUGH READER CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION

    Does blog traffic show up unexpected? What makes readers stay and look around once they do find you on accident?   First, it’s not an accident. At least blog traffic shouldn’t be accidental. That’s why we buy and install Genesis framework on a wordpress platform with a News theme from Studio Press.   […]

DEPORTED IN PORTLAND: MEDICAL TOURISM VIA TIGARD AND BEAVERTON

If you need to be tough, but are a secret wussy man, bring the right back up. I brought Jason Witten to get deported in Portland. Not too many tougher than that. Together we deported in Portland; both of us on just this side of crazy celebration, yet calm.

BLOGGER BEATS SEX CANCER, HIRES WRITING COACH

As if facing any cancer isn’t shocking enough, but sex cancer? From the moment of the first ‘you’ve got cancer’ phone call until this moment, the sense of plague-like certain doom sets in. Will doom plague the rest of my life from sex cancer? Is so that sucks for me, said every cancer patient in […]
