Sunday, January 28th, 2007This week and I had some time to rearrange the multiple computer configuration I have set up at my planetc1 office, which was getting less than comfortable due to the current setup.
When organizing computer setups my chiropractic brain says use good posture and proper ergonomics. Don’t sit too long, take plenty of breaks, support the [...]
What does RSS stand for?
Friday, January 26th, 2007Some people have been e-mailing me asking what RSS stands for, since they’ve been seeing buttons that say on planetc1.com news pages.
In chiropractic, RSS stands for Really Subluxated Spine, but that’s probably not the definition you are seeking. If you do have a really subluxated spine leave your computer now and call your local [...]
Super Bowl XLI Has Chiropractors Super Busy
Friday, January 26th, 2007This year’s Super Bowl (XLI) at Dolphin Stadium in Miami will mark the 40th anniversary of the first AFL-NFL championship game, in which the Green Bay Packers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Los Angeles, California. I was just reading earlier today (in the New Yorker) about Tiki Barber, running back for the New York Giants, and how he receives chiropractic care two times per week. (Tiki, and others, we appreciate when you speak publicly about the benefits of chiropractic care) Chiropractors have been providing care for NFL players long before the 1960s, and the first Super Bowl. One of the most famous displays of chiropractic in the Super Bowl was the adjusting of Super Bowl XXIV MVP Joe Montana, of the San Francisco 49ers, on national television, in the 1990s.
Chiropractic and Chocolate for a Healthy Heart
Thursday, January 25th, 2007The month of January is coming to a close and February is just around the corner. People will soon stop greeting each other by saying “happy new year.” It won’t be long before we move on to our next holiday greeting, hearing people say… “happy Valentine’s Day.” Valentine’s Day, the day of the heart, is about romance and flowers and chocolate. Yum yum yum, gotta love that chocolate. We’ll probably be reminded numerous times of recent studies claiming that consuming dark chocolate may cut heart disease. You may notice that studies such as these tend to appear in the news right about the time chocolate sales are picking up. That’s fine, pick up some chocolate for your chiropractor and remind them that studies show its good for the heart.
Outbound Links Sucking PR From Your Chiropractic Website
Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007Do you have a chiropractic website?
Is there a link on your homepage (or your entire site) linking back to the designer, publisher, or template creator of your website?
Companies and designers that create, publish, and host websites will be the first to argue this, but LINKING BACK TO THE COMPANY THAT CREATED YOUR WEBSITE MAY BE [...]
The germ theory of life
Monday, January 22nd, 2007Louis Pasteur himself found it necessary to falsify his records and fudge the results of certain experiments to make the Germ Theory work, according to historian Gerald Geison in a New York Times article in 1995. Geison was one of the first scholars to study Pasteur’s personal notes following the family’s long awaited release of the research. I imagine this new story describing Pasteur’s fraud and deception did not go over too well with many French people, who have erected beautiful statues in his image and named venerable public institutions after him.
Duplicate Content Penalties - Search Engine Hell
Friday, January 19th, 2007One of the things that bugs me most about those template driven chiropractic megasites are their excitement about offering hundreds of pages of content. For example, one chiropractic website provider claims to offer over 400 pages of content on your chiropractic website.
What they don’t tell you is the same 400 plus pages of content are [...]
Top 10 chiropractic states according to site search
Tuesday, January 16th, 2007Wondering how well these sites would perform in different states, I decided to review the search logs for planet chiropractic during the months of August through December 2006 to discover which states in the nation would be most likely to get consumer traffic for chiropractic related search terms. I took the top 10 states and put them in order of number one for most popular (which was California) to number 10 for least popular (which was Ohio) and included some thoughts on why I believe they ranked this way. My discussion goes a bit off topic, but either way, here is the list in the order I found it.
This is NOT a Chiropractic Website
Saturday, January 13th, 2007Just in case you stumbled across this web site looking for a chiropractor in your area, or searching for a chiropractic web site, this web site is neither.
You can get a listing of local chiropractors throughout the United States on the planet chiropractic directory pages.
This web site is more about design then it is about [...]
Pharmaceutical giant takes losses drug Torcetrapib
Saturday, January 13th, 2007With at least 12 million Americans taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, mostly statins, and experts’ recommendations that another 23 million should be taking them, it’s important to remain educated on this issue, the primary one being that they’re linked to many, many dangerous side effects.
