Let&#039;s say you want to get the tail of &quot;songs&quot;
if you use phrases like &quot;lovely songs&quot; and &quot;better songs&quot; &quot;my love songs&quot; etc. this way you will still tell google what it is all about.. but the great things is.. you will get more keywords.. the tail offend doesnt have the highest competition and you could get ranking for more words..
PR Rank doesn&#039;t measure the competition on a keyword or a keyword phrase, but only the trust for a  page.
Be aware that not all pages on a domain has the same pagerank. and even though it has a high pagerank doesn&#039;t mean you can&#039;t out rank it.. and even though the pagerank is low. it still could be hard to get to the top of SERP</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>actually I am not sure that I agree on &#8220;Always use [Exact] Match&#8221; since google is starting to notice that people are doing that..

It&#039;s really interesting to see how other people find their calling. And I really wish you the best in all your endeavors. I certainly agree that happiness counts when you are deciding on a career or business path. I also wish I&#039;d started my own business earlier but I&#039;m older than you and the opportunity wasn&#039;t there for me at your age! I&#039;ll stop now because I&#039;m sounding like an old man!
Plenty more here about starting a design business and plenty more to come on this subject!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Musa, great to hear your story and thanks for sharing it with us.</p><p>It&#8217;s really interesting to see how other people find their calling.

isPermaLink="false">http://robcubbon.com/?p=3157#comment-273021</guid> <description>Its a real inspiration to hear other people&#039;s stories!
As a child I had always been creative and had two loves; drawing and sport. I just wanted a career that would allow me to draw, and if that failed; play football! My parents, being academically minded, discouraged this and always forced me excel at school. It didn&#039;t help that my dad taught at my school, so he always kept an extra eye on how I was doing. A kind of &quot;Do well, or I going to know about it...&quot; approach.
I did extremely well in high school, but in order to please my parents, I ended up studying Sports Science at university. I loved the course I was on, but to be fair, I was more interested drawing the anatomy of the human body and diagrams of organs for revision purposes than measuring the strenght of o muscle. Eventually, I summed up the courage to change course and study for a foundation degree in Illustration; much to the horror of my parents :)
In my final year, we have a Business Practice module where we learnt about running a creative business; planning, self promotion, finances and all. I was so inspired by it that all I wanted to do was ditch school and start working. I&#039;m only a few months from finishing my degree and to be honest I cant wait to start my own design practice! Its not going to be easy, but being a pennyless student has taught me a great deal. Since doing this module, I can&#039;t imagine that I could work for someone else knowing that I could be my own boss.
Don&#039;t pay any notice to all those who say YOU CANT. At the end of your day, its your hapiness and state of well being that you have to live with !</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its a real inspiration to hear other people&#8217;s stories!</p><p>As a child I had always been creative and had two loves; drawing and sport.

It was line four ... /** MySQL hostname */ define(&#039;DB_HOST&#039;, &#039;localhost&#039;);  I had to replace the localhost with the hostname that was in the sql admin area of the 1and1 control panel.

It was line four &#8230; /** MySQL hostname */ define(&#8216;DB_HOST&#8217;, &#8216;localhost&#8217;);  I had to replace the localhost with the hostname that was in the sql admin area of the 1and1 control panel.  Just thought I&#8217;d add this in case it save someone from pulling out their hair.  Can&#8217;t wait to get stuck in now.</p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item><title>Comment on How Your Business Can Compete Against Asia Outsourcing by Rob Cubbon</title><link>http://robcubbon.com/how-your-business-can-compete-against-asia-outsourcing/#comment-270092</link> <dc:creator>Rob Cubbon</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:48:44 +0000</pubDate> <guid

Anyway, yes, it&#039;s always the front end that is the hardest to outsource which is good news for people like me, I guess. But I wonder if even the front end is totally out of reach of Asian outsourcing as they are fast learners!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow!

I&#039;ve  swapped London  for Goa so to have some time away ( a year from the 9-5) and think about doing some more web design.  It&#039;s one way around the situation and it helps having an Indian born wife.
I think ultimately  most front-end webdesign is about communicating with a (cynical internet)  audience  and requires a subtle understanding of localised culture to be successful.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interesting Rob.
