Boulder SEO and Marketing in 2016

Boulder Bridges will serve as space for funneling Marketing and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) efforts directly related to Boulder County. This might encompass Longmont and Nederland, though I am not familiar if they are in or part of Boulder County. Longmont and Arvada phone numbers share the 720 prefix with Denver, so this will require a little research for organizing phone numbers and zip codes. The 720 phone number prefix in Colorado started being used after the 303 phone numbers ran out. So, the 720 might not be an indicator of a phone number being from any particular region of Colorado.

Boulder Bridge House What the Bridge House data shows in 2015 and rolling over through 2016 is a much lower percentage of military veterans as residents than I expected. Colorado Springs is home to the AirForce Academy and Fort Carson is not too far away. To be honest, I think the national averages are much higher. The demographics for Boulder, Colorado might not reflect how diverse the United States is. According to this Rich + Caucasians live in Boulder. Demographics for Boulder 2016 PDF

Veterans: Over 13% of residents are veterans who have served our country, but who are struggling to stay on their feet. Many are not getting the benefits they are entitled to under the law. We help veterans process the paperwork so that they can receive the medical and financial assistance they deserve.

Women: Approximately 30% of the people that walk through our doors are women. The issues homeless women face around safety and security are different from those facing men. Have mental health problems There are estimates that nearly 40% of the homeless population suffers from some kind of mental illness. The Ready to Work program leaders sees this statistic reflected in our clients, most of whom either don’t know they are ill or are unaware of services that can help them. The program has a mental health outreach worker who meets with people one­on­one. They also have group counseling through their weekly HOPE Group. We provide funds for psychiatric prescriptions and work with their partners at Clinica and Mental Health Partners to get people the services they need.

In the past, I never thought too much about inconsistencies with an organization’s NAP, the Name, Address, and Phone number. It’s not that I didn’t understand, it’s that I didn’t think it was given such high status for regional & local SEO, because anyone could fall prey to sabotage, with little or no consequence. It would be easy to go through a proxy and set up “identities” that looked like they were affiliated, and wreck shop on your competition. Maybe yes, maybe no..dunno, don’t wanna find out.

Negative SEO This joins my list of “Why Google, just why?” changes that baffle me. This first that comes to mind, is that these days you must disavow incoming links that cause you “Negative SEO” with search engines. There was a time when every webmaster, or most, understood that you would not be penalized for “Negative SEO.” This was to encourage doing things that gained you trust, authority, readers, relevance, position and make the argument, that there is no reason to be vindictive, trusted SEO that follows the webmaster guidelines outlasts “Negative SEO” and to be honest, that made a whole lot of sense back then and it still makes sense today.

When it comes to policing inbound backlinks by disavowing links, my last large website that I set up had about 25,000 inbound links. There weren’t too many options for people in the region who spoke only English, so I was fortunate enough to be linked to from hight quality blogs and news organizations in the region that simply started running out of things to talk about in English, that’s what I think anyway. The task or policing of that many inbound links seems a bit, daunting.

Working with Bridge URLS That last large website I set up was a photography website & blog that I worked drop-shippable print sales into, it took me a few carts, but I went with MPIX for the print ordering and left no part of the indexing to something like ZenCart, or any of the other direct order carts that looked like they were being sold at the dollar store. Every layer, beginning with the product and ending with the payment had a separate URL. I do this now, but not detailed like I used to do.

X2 the strength of links by doing this one thing

Anytime you duplicate your pageBoth of these links go to the same content. But, the URLs are slightly different, just enough that the search engines will index both pages. The CMS uses the URL to write the title tag, they both have the exact same content, the difference is that and the top URL arranges the content into a list and the second URL into a slideshow. It’s not something I would always do because you do run into some risk if they get seen as duplicate content, and you also divide the page strength in half, so your link with 100-page strength is now 50 per page.

http://bridgeurl.com/4747-table-mesa-dr-boulder-colorado-80305/all/ http://bridgeurl.com/4747-table-mesa-dr-boulder-colorado-80305/ How it can be used effectively and take a very broad set of search terms and divide them between every step.

You will notice I do this with almost everything. This helps me isolate variations of a page element, see which works with the search engines, which work with guests, and if it matters. The same way you can stair-step your header tags: (H1, H2, H3, H4)

4747 Table Mesa Drive Boulder Colorado 4747 Table Mesa Drive Boulder 4747 Table Mesa Drive 4747 Table Mesa For example, I would use this to see if the shorter address should be utilized, and not the full address because it seems more likely to be what someone with a mobile phone would type as they are walking around looking for an address. If there wasn’t an H1 tag in use on the page I could assign it to the short address variation and put it far above the fold.

Boulder SEO Boulder Bridges SEO and Marketing + RebelMouse = CMS stresses will lower I hope. My plans are to put these remaining domains up with RebelMouse under the hood.

john.college step13denver.com stepdenver.com For those that are not familiar with their name, think of it like this, Mighty Mouse had a cape and spandex, RebelMouse has a bandana. I don’t know which one I would trust, that is a hard choice. In the past, I used my RebelMouse account just to organize similar social media content. Over the years, we actually lost many players in the early-to-mid 2000′s. Sites that I never thought would ever go away. Reddit today, is not what Reddit was at that time. Digg was really great, I miss Digg. Why do people keep changing things? Be honest, raise your hand if you miss Geocities.

I didn’t visit very often and it seemed a little dead. And to be honest, I wasn't so sure if the idea of making the pages look like we were staring at Notepad would go over so well. It had the simplicity thing, but Digg so exciting. I still have my Reddit account that I registered in 2005.

What Reddit is now, in their words, is the front page of the Internet. The interesting part about Reddit is, if you complain about Reddit, you are reaching for straws of hate because Reddit content is user generated. If you don’t like a topic, then remove the subreddit. Or, if you really have a burning desire, make your own subreddit. You organize the content for your desired experience.

I don’t visit mainstream news organization websites anymore. The days of me looking at headlines that read like they were written the day before the apocalypse was about to kill us all, followed by other headlines about a reality TV star that I don’t know the name of, or why them sitting in a hot tub with someone else that was voted out the week prior, in a show I don’t care about, matters. Gone. Over.

What I see RebelMouse doing is a little like what Reddit did in making organizing content as important as the content itself. Because, Social Media is great and all, but it is an endless feed of content. After awhile the human brain goes into NASCAR mode. If you take the time to observe people who have gone into NASCAR mode, they can sit for hours watching cars that are all the same shape go in one very large circle, and that brings them happiness. It's amazing to witness really.

Very soon I believe Google, Bing, Apple, Facebook might forgo the glasses and watches and instead create some sort of helmet or hat that has RSS capabilities built in. We won’t have to install popup blockers and it would stimulate the economy, think of all the new hats and helmets people would be making.

RebelMouse is a homepage for your social media. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr and Instagram—create one beautiful page of your entire online presence. So, I will be testing it, the only snag I have hit is in setting up email accounts for a domain that points to the RebelMouse servers.

My plea to them was: I am wondering how to set up the email accounts once the domain is pointed to RebelMouse from the registrar. This is the URL connected to RebelMouse, and shortly I will start going through your documentation, but first I want to get the domain email addresses set up.

Any other tips that shouldn't be overlooked in the beginning during setup are appreciated. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnBurgreen/posts/jQWzoNdiSKZ

Boulder Bridges @ Ready to work Boulder 4747 Table Mesa Drive Boulder, Colorado 80305

You can skip past what I have written to the very last paragraph for the summary of my answer to your question. I think it is somewhat known that the community in Boulder is very respectful, heck, they actually stop at the crosswalks for pedestrians. If you have a phone with a camera, you may want to travel to Boulder to capture this common anomaly that is at risk of becoming extinct elsewhere. Don’t believe it when people use excuses claiming that if they grow up with a hard life that they are somehow being made harder and stronger. Those are people who have never lived a life of fear and uncertainty, sacrificing more than words, because laying outside in dark corners filled with human feces, actually happens, and there is no glory or gain from it. I can’t begin to count the number of questions on Quora related to homelessness, and the responses that sound like poetry rather than being in Denver somewhere on Colfax unable to get into a shelter, and knowing that if the police find you and are having a bad day they can arrest you under the “no camping” laws, simply for laying in your head down anywhere.

Ready to work Boulder (Bridge House) docs held hostage, by ransomware knoc-off

To be honest, I had never had any issues with ransomware prior to this. Malware, Trojans, Viruses -- yes, but not ransomware. Last week I was putting together "Bridge URL" multiple URL combiners. Then suddenly neither my ZIP backups

nor my RAR archives would extract. I ran showed this: " C:\Users\admin\Desktop\Content\1901377.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

I have had archives in the past that were partially broken or missing pieces, but there was no recovering these files. Here are what the Boulder Bridge House, Ready working files looked like:

Most of the data that is on my computers tend to be working files, with very important files on Google Drive. It is interesting to note, that only one set of media files were not touched, my itunes program needed to be reinstalled, but none of the actual content had any problems.

Homelessness and joblessness for veterans

Before 2013, I probably would have said “love” or “friends” or “dignity” but upon being destitute and homeless in Boulder and Denver, Colorado...my opinion changed. There was no time to be poetic or dream about how I might be stronger after this all ended. If you had a fake positive and blissful look on life, it was gone. Things are very real. Try having a "look at the bright side" attitude when there is nowhere to go to the bathroom, and if you do go to the bathroom you could be arrested for indecent exposure.

Places in Colorado have anti-camping laws that are broadly written. If you go lay outside of a personal residence, you can be issued a citation or arrested on the spot. It doesn't matter that you were a taxpayer all of your life, you aren't now, so don't go thinking you can be in public places.

Colorado hates homeless people. Don't let anyone tell you any different. Outside of a few select places on the 16th street mall, there are ZERO facilities where you can go to the bathroom without an access code. You get the access codes by being a customer or begging a customer to give it to you. The only other place I have lived which was as nasty was in communist China. That's right, by looking at commercials advertising Denver, it looks like the land of weed smoking ant John Elway parades. No, not even close. In fact, when Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders come to town, they round up the homeless people to hide the reality. On March 8, 2016, they sent a police army to the Denver 5-points. In the 5-points there is the Denver Rescue Mission, Samaritan House, Salvation Army, Step 13. The police army was sent to "evict the homeless" from the sidewalks. That's right, you read that correctly. The confiscated the belongings and made them stand up. We are not talking about 1 or 2 people, we are talking about the entire blocks around Denver Rescue Mission and Samaritan House. People had no place to go, the winter was so cold, these people played out all over in the cold, with no place to go to try not to get frostbite and lose a toe or die. And then, the next day the city announced that they were giving millions of dollars out to THE EXACT SAME INCOMPETENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT COULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE PRIOR DECADE.

You can see the trend, Colorado hates the homeless. With their nose point directly up in the sky. Most of the issues with homelessness can be narrowed down to a few categories, two primaries actually. Mental Illness and Substance abuse. These people have not hardened crims, these are people with diseases and disabilities. Alcoholism fits into the disease model, so if anyone thinks just walking around saying "Just quit, it was your choice to start." just showed absolute ignorance of the dangers and realities. Alcohol, even with binge drinking, is one of the only things that can instantly kill you if you stop suddenly. These are people who need medical attention and long-term help being reintegrated into society, which I will address after this, the hospitals in Colorado are terrible.

Since much of my experience is dealing with homelessness in Denver and Boulder, I will address it from that perspective.

VA Eastern Colorado Health Care System 1055 Clermont St

Here is a good place to get an idea of the homelessness issues in Colorado in greater detail.

I was admitted to this hospital into the 3rd-floor inpatient mental health section, where people are safely detoxed so they don't die while being detoxed. After a few days there, they had me fill out paperwork to go to another facility in Wyoming, except, they liked about what that place does. The VA said it was a sort of work and rehab program. Except, it wasn't. They take all of your things and put you on lockdown for a year. There is no work program at all there. So, because the staff at the VA hospital are not really accountable to anything except their paperwork, they refused to help me. It was in the negative degree range this past winter in Denver. Being a homeless veteran, I went to the VA for help, hey said sorry we don't have anything open. If you ever wondered why the VA has a bad reputation, is because the veterans weren't allowed to say "Sorry sergeant, all out of bullets, you are going to need to ask someone else to take the hill".

At "Denver Cares" on 16th and Cherokee I have seen people fall into a seizure and the staff has a look on their face that says it all, that if you are going to die, please wait until their shift is over. Not to mention, that not once has my items been returned to me unbroken or missing. This facility also had a split VA and civilian program for substance abusers who were homeless. Those who oversee that program canceled it. Denver Cares was banking the veterans GPD program money and nobody got help. 14 out of 14 back out on the streets homeless. Zero.

And one more thing on that note. Saint Joseph Hospital is a hospital in the City Park West neighborhood of Denver at 1375 E 19th Ave, Denver.2014-2015, I was sent to the emergency rooms at this hospital, still homeless, nothing changed. They have some sort of case worker or social worker that comes and speaks to the people admitted there who are there for specific issues I am guessing, drug, alcohol, homelessness. This woman came in on maybe hour 3 of the IV detox. In this situation, they are supposed to offer you referrals on where to go to get help. There is generally a process or protocol for things, immediate treatment to stabilize, then show you where to go for follow-up help. Especially not being from there, it would have been very helpful. This woman talked to me like my presence was ruining her night playing BINGO or something. She had one or two old fliers in her hand, she left them on the chair and left the room. I went out into the cold, they give you one bus ticket and say go find Denver. They released someone prior to me, I walked over to the bus stop, it was freezing. When I got closer to him, his skin was all yellow and his eyes were yellow. He asked if I was taking the bus and if I wanted a drink. Apparently, they kicked him into the cold like they did me. And, they gave him his extra large sized Listerine bottle back.

The one thing about homelessness that I hate is that your recourse for actions is almost zero. There are little to no ways to do anything about anything, and people know that when they interact with you. And, that sucks as bad as freezing to death.

As poetic and beautiful as it sounds to say other things like dignity, research has proven that the amount of good that comes from the housing is exponential. In Denver the “Housing First” model is proven, New Genesis also uses housing as their foundation for helping homeless individuals and the Boulder Ready to Work homeless program model guarantees up to 2 years of your housing completely covered, and these aren’t grants, these are from community donors and the average cost of savings on the taxpayer is cut by $20,000 - 30,000. The Bridge House has already had tremendous amounts of success. Right now I believe there are only 4 or so places in the U.S. that have that have the Ready to Work model running. Keep in mind, that model is directly targeted towards that exact thing “homeless or working poor” — so their focus can directly impact and assist. You will see other various “charity” organizations that are so broad and watered down, you wonder what their intent was, to help people in need or help themselves get grant money. It is a sad reality, but Denver is full of opportunist organizations. Don’t believe me? This year Denver “evicted” the homeless on March 8. The very next day released information showing an amazing amount of money, I believe in the 20+ million range toward solving this homeless situation. So, if you follow me here on the logic train, they evicted people with nowhere to go — nowhere. They stood up and walked a street or two down. Then they told they were giving millions to the organizations who have proven that they are not capable of managing solutions, and yet you are giving them money w no oversight. Way to go people of Denver. The current Bridge House implementation of Ready to Work for the homeless in Colorado is fairly new with the location they are at in Boulder having only been open for a year or so, though the Bridge House itself has been around longer.
