        <Name>Updated SEO Results for ReSource &amp; Rick Thomas</Name>
        <Summary>Google phrases like       Rick Thomas, ReSource       and       Rick Thomas wireless       and you'll find that our Rick Thomas dominates the top ten.</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;by John Gaudio,&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Google Rick and his company,&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rick Thomas, ReSource&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; and&amp;nbsp;our Rick Thomas shows up at positions 2, 3, &amp;nbsp;4, 9, and 10 out of 4,280,000.&amp;nbsp; Half the top ten.&amp;nbsp; Not bad.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Let's get a tad more generic.&amp;nbsp; Rick's well known in the wireless community, so what happens if we Google&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rick Thomas wireless&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; ?&amp;nbsp; Would you believe our Rick Thomas shows up in spots 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 of 1,210,000 pages?&amp;nbsp; It's true.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Some references are to &lt;a&gt;http://ABetterBlogsite.com&lt;/a&gt;, others to Rick's Website, &lt;a href="http://yourresource.com/"&gt;http://YourResource.com&lt;/a&gt;, and still others to Rick's Blogsite.&amp;nbsp; It seems that some of my posts here have moved some of Rick's posts&amp;nbsp;down a tad, but that's not always a bad thing.&amp;nbsp; It helps build up&amp;nbsp;Rick's rich&amp;nbsp;data cloud and improves his overall findability, which is exactly what we want.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Thirty days ago Googling&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Rick Thomas&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; yielded a great deal about the famous Las Vegas magician of the same name, but not a single thing&amp;nbsp;on our Rick Thomas, at least in the first 300 spots.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Google the search phrase &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Rick Thomas&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;right now, and our Rick Thomas comes up&amp;nbsp;in &lt;a&gt;http://ABetterBlogsite.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at spots 33 and 34, in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://yourresource.com/"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;http://YourResource.com&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;at spot 49,&amp;nbsp; and in RIck's&amp;nbsp;Blogsite&amp;nbsp;at spots 71 &amp;amp; 72.&amp;nbsp; That's five references in the top 100, out of 4,330,00 pages that Google considered significant for Rick Thomas.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So what's the &amp;quot;secret sauce&amp;quot;?&amp;nbsp; Simple, the MyST Technology Platform on which every MyST Blogsite&lt;sup&gt;TM&lt;/sup&gt; is built.&amp;nbsp; MyST was built from the ground up to make it easy for both people and machines to find information, and Blogsites powered by MyST are optimized for high &amp;quot;findability.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It's almost like magic.&amp;nbsp; Right Rick?&amp;nbsp; ;-)&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
