use their likeness!!

Search Engines and SEO
• Using the right keywords
• Using the right words and phrases for your
blog pages, blog post titles, subtitles , links
and anchor links
• Using tool tips / “alt” text to make images
findable by search engines
• Don’t OVERUSE a keyword; you want it to
take people to the right page, not
necessarily to ALL your pages equally.

Notas do Editor
http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/tribu/sc-fam-0424-online-photo-rules-20120424,0,2427140.storyBefore posting a photo, ask yourself if you would be comfortable with your boss or your mom, or a future employer seeing the photo you are planning to post. If it's an unflattering photo of someone else , ask yourself how you would feel if a friend posted a similar photo of you. Remember that prospective employers routinely search applicants on Facebook and other social media, looking for anything that might suggest the job applicant should not be hired.
