Dear ,

Invaluable Early Survey Data 

You may have been one of many who took a few minutes to complete the artificial intelligence survey I sent out yesterday. I thank you for that investment of time.

If you've not yet taken it, CLICK HERE.

I'll share lots of the data in two weeks, but here are some key early takeaways:

KEY POINT #1: There are many who are confusing this newsletter with my "columns" and archived content on my website.

My columns are the syndicated newspaper column I still author each week. There are about 60 newspapers that still publish my column.

In addition, there are THOUSANDS of other pages, or columns, on my website that are extra content about a given topic. 

The columns are hard-core home improvement information. They do not stray from home improvement topics. Period.

Here are TWO examples of the THOUSANDS of pages or COLUMNS on my website.

Heating and Cooling Old Houses

Painting Vinyl Siding - BEST PAINT RESIN

This weekly NEWSLETTER you're reading now is not a column.

My weekly newsletter is less formal and it allows me to share more personal information and my opinions about all sorts of things - including things that have nothing to do with home improvement.

This less formal writing style allows me to ENJOY creating the newsletter. It's FUN, not work. 

Writing a COLUMN is WORK.

KEY POINT #2: The TOP ORGANIC search results you see on Google favor large companies like Home Depot, newspaper allies that align with Google's ideology, and other outlets that SPEND MONEY with Google buying ads on Google.

Google REWARDS those who millions of dollars buying Googel ads with FREE ORGANIC SEARCH TRAFFIC.

A vast majority of people who use Google DO NOT LOOK PAST THE TOP THREE ORGANIC search results for the information they need. Google KNOWS THIS AS THEY TRACK EACH MOVEMENT YOU MAKE ONCE YOU LAND ON THEIR WEBSITE.

Google has abandoned it's original mission of providing YOU with the best information at the top of its search pages. 

Google provides you with censored search results that help THEM make more money and reinforce thier ideology. This is a known fact.

Google is rapidly injecting content created using artificial intelligence in their top search results.

KEY POINT #3: The search engine on MOST PAGES of my website HAS BEEN REPAIRED and it provides you with ALL OF THE COLUMNS I've written about a given topic. 

Try it out NOW.  You should readily see a SEARCH BOX at the top of this page.

I GUARANTEE you'll be blown away by the depth of the column content.

KEY POINT #3: To obtain sponsorship money from any source, the sponsor demands a return on investment. They want a boost in sales or a visible brand-enhancement metric they can measure.

To produce those results, you need LOTS of traffic from Google. Please re-read Key Point #2.

I'll have much of the raw data from the survey for you in two weeks.

"Yeah, right. That's the way it is. It's down there and I'm in here. I guess it comes down to a simple choice, really. Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.

The BEST Love Story of all time - well, maybe a close second.

That's enough for a Monday morning.

Peace out.
