Yup, that was the same reaction I had. Anyway, as a slight departure from my usual Net marketing guru insights, I choose now to do an entry on this guy's feat worthy of a daredevil. Jaric, who plays guard for the Memphis Grizzlies, had an appropriate "secret wedding" with the Victoria's Secret hottie and former most-desirable-woman-ever Adrianna Lima last Valentine's Day. And between now and then, Ms. Lima would've had given up her title of the world's Sexiest Virgin. You're, indeed, a mean one Mr. Jaric.
What do we make of this unspeakable tragedy? Nothing much, although searches for "Marko Jaric", "Adrianna Lima", "Adrianna Lima married" and, um, "Markodriana" have gone up. Okay, well, the last keyword I'm not sure, but you get the idea.
Sigh. Well, I just hope they have a happy life together. Adrianna, I still love you with all my heart, especially in your last GQ incarnation. And Marko, buddy, you are our hero, as you have proven to us that anything, is indeed, possible. Nuff said.
The Tonight show has had a history of making duos work. First, it was Carson and McMahon. Then, Leno and Eubanks. And now, Conan and Andy.
Yes, you heard that right. Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter will be reprising their hilarious tandem for the late night set. AP reports that Richter will be back at Conan's side, albeit as the redheaded funny man's announcer, in the vein of Ed McMahon. Conan also called called Richter a friend and one of the funniest people he knows, but couldn't resist a joke" and that, " he's looking forward to their reunion because Richter owes him $300."
You gotta love Conan and Andy for bringing frat-style, but never low brow humor to Late Night. Remember that it was the "In The Year 2000" sketch which brought the duo prominence--with each taking turns to deliver a spiel about what they see in the future, while in-between, trumpeter La Bamba sings "In the Year Two-Thousand!" in his Close Encounters-like voice while trying to feign laughing at Conan and Andy's brilliant delivery of their comical predictions.
But one sketch that sticks in my mind is when a then-unknown Amy complete with braces, prepubescent clothing and all. She tries to flatter Conan by giving , but Conan just gives a lukewarm reaction. After which Poehler launches into a fit, threatening Conan while a helpless Andy tries to restrain her from his sidekick couch. And seeing how far Amy Poehler has come since then, you'd appreciate those moments more. (It's a shame though that hardly any of these clips are resurfacing on the Net. Please NBC, bring them back!)
Now if you couldn't get enough Andy, just check out his other works via the Web. You'll stumble upon underappreciated turns of this guy in his cancelled TV shows and movies; and you'll just be hopeful that him being back in Conan's fold may give him a second chance at a massive breakthrough. Keywords that might help in your search would be "andy richter controls the universe", "andy barker m.d." and "talladega nights andy richter." (Yes that's right. A personal favorite is when he played a believably gay to Sacha Baron Cohen's French F1 villain character in "Talladega Nights". And on that note, I mean, check that performance out NOW.)
That being said, we're all glad to have the duo back. Now just bring back the Walker Texas Ranger button as well, and we'll all be thankful.
As an added bonus, here's the clip of Late Night's "In The Year 2000" sketch, to keep you fellow Conan and Andy fans on what to expect in the new Tonight Show:
The chase for suitable keywords is on. The race for supremacy in the Internet market is fierce, and the thrill never ends.
Sounds like a stunt. Hell, I've been through many stunts like that. And it's not even as treacherous as crossing the Grand Canyon.
One thing to consider while sprucing up your web content is Knowing whether your words will be in vogue. Just like my stunt suits. I remember I had to go to England one time and there i was, draped in the Union Jack. There's no way they'll be hollering for you if still wear the Stars and Stripes. Just as much as blogs about your undying admiration for Sarah Palin are so pre-November '08. Dude, even Michelle Obama gets more online hits now... and there's no stopping that.
That's why you gotta keep up with the times. Know which keywords are fit for the season, the month, etc. Keep that leg up over the rest with keywords that say "superiority" above anything else. Don't know where to start? No worries, there's a grand plethora of sites to choose from. One highly recommended site is KeywordSpy.com, with its Time Machine feature. You can actually track the actual time when a certain keyword will be doing well or not.
So if fierceness is your thing, go and gear up for the keyword challenge. Because that guy landing that motorcycle at the other end of that ten-mile gorge? It may be you.
A fan who would give out major admiration of things. A fan who would go to great lengths just to show how their admired thing, person, or primate is the center of the universe.
The concept of blogging was definitely created for fans. And the major aim of every fan is to make sure that everybody, and I mean everybody, sees it.
So here ya go with the tagging of the available words of the website.
But wait. Isn't another fan also using that tag already? Ok, well...everybody else has it already. which simply just: the number one fan, you are not.
It all has to do with your keywords. A great blog will just go to waste if you just pepper it with all words.
Don't forget that you need a comprehensive need to use meta tags. Learn quite a few HTML, it will help you greatly with this endeavor.
And don't forget, the Net is at your disposal when it comes to this. Know what other info other fans are trying to put in their web sites. Sometimes, it's all in the keywords and the meta tags. Using websites such as KeywordSpy.com will help you find keywords to incorporate in your Web temple.
So daredevils, take my advice. This is in all hopes that he or she: that object you lust after at night, the one you would spin undusted vinyls at near midnight--would lay an eye on your fansite, and pay attention to you once and for all.
There used to be a time when words were less speaking than actions. Try asking my exes that, they'd attest. But in the 21st century, things have shaken up a bit. Words will now make you money. Words will spell your fortune or your doom, your triumph or your demise, your great destiny or your ill fate.
The dot com business is a harbinger of a good many in the business today. Everyone would go to TMZ to get their fill of showbiz. Teen dramas like gossip girl wouldn't be because of the net. And those youtube videos on Attack of the Show? That's the web talking right there.
And in this ever growing world of the World Wide Web, he who controls that world also has control of the words to be used. Such is the driving force of the SEO phenomenon. And there are lots of ways with which you can harness this. You can just put in as many words as you want (Hell, everybody seems to be doing that nowadays).
I am Hivel McNivel, and I am the blogger with the daredevil side. Watch me as i traverse long piles of cars that dare to block one's understanding of the industry as we know it.
There are plenty of ways one can succeed. But you can not succeed if you do not dare. The same holds true in the business. A little could go a long way and you never know what you can achieve.
In this humble space on the web, allow me to show you the tricks of the trade. The hoopla on the caboozla. The way to make your presence of the Web known, and outlast the proverbial 15 minutes of fame.
Proving, once and for all, that Andy Warhol is not a creation of the IT age.
