Google Ain't Got Nothing on Michael Bay

Look, I understand that there is some concern that if you have a website as a small business (or any for that matter) you ought to make sure that you have a "mobile-friendly" version of the site.

In case you haven't heard, Mobilegeddon is Coming!

Google is changing their search algorithm today to prefer mobile-ready sites.

This makes sense considering the crazy amount of traffic that virtually any website is going to get from a phone, tablet etc versus the traditional desktop or laptop.

However, before you imagine asteroid explosions on your SERP that would make Michael Bay jealous. Calm down and realize...

YOU PROBABLY DON'T HAVE A WEBSITE. (At least according to most website builders.)

I suggest it is true based on empirical observation... most just don't have a website.

50% 60% 70%... it varies, but I'd guess it is always been high. There are a metric ton of small businesses that have ZERO website. Sure, they might be on Facebook, etc- but absolutely bupkis in terms of a website.

So, sit back and relax. The explosion is probably not here for you, yet.

Not a lot of people looked or cared about #365DaysofHappyforTodd That's okay. I was doing it for me. I would like your best "getting through" song though- that would be cool! Just like this #NewTodd sounds lame right?

New Life

It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening. Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring. I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now. Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat. I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you n...
