  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

ISBAB's - Tip of the day:

Google is constantly changing their Algorithms and making new updates. This causes much confusion and anxiety for many blog and website owners because they fear that their ranking will drop if they make a mistake. Here’s how to get around Google’s SEO. One of my secrets weapons is “To Use An Image Based website”. If you are marketing products or services, as I do, make your website an “IMAGE” based site or blog. Because when you market products on the big sites like Amazon, ebay or whoever, they automatically link to Google. And if you set up your Amazon business or any business correctly and market your product like the world is about to end, Amazon will reward you and place you on their best seller list.

Example: if you were selling hand wormers and use keywords that are high in traffic value and volume, you can use these keywords in the title of your product or website as well as in the description. You will get many hits and Google will place your site on it’s first page listings for those keywords. This way there is hardly a need to worry about SEO because Google will automatically pick you up, especially if you are using Adwords. This will be easy for you because Adwords will always give you the keywords which are high in traffic and  PPC cost, which is also an indicator that, that particular keyword is being used millions of times. Remember, if you are making a new website or blog the best would be to place your keywords in the TITLE and description of your blog, website, product or service.
