While doing my homework during a recent blog post about Conway’s rising crime I was finding links for the contenders in the race for district 4′s seat on the county commission. 2 of the candidates had their campaign sites up as expected, but one guy, who should either hire a campaign manager, or fire his existing one, didn’t even so much as have his profile completed on the Orlando Sentinel’s Voter Guide.
But you know, some people just aren’t convinced of the effectiveness of the internet, who are these mysterious bloggers anyway, if that is their real names. Quite frankly it sounds made up to me. But what did really shock me was this website for Linda Stewart, the incumbent. Coming Soon? When? After the elections? It’s September already in another day!
The little link at the bottom says “Site Designed and maintained by SAMandNATE.com“, which I’m not sure if it’s legit to claim this since the site has neither been designed nor is being maintained in any form. This design house has a flash site that uses the same inane triple-colon-before-&-after-the-title-tag as Linda’s site. Here’s a free tip, guys, from an SEO professional: Putting “three colons” as the first thing in your title tag is like optimizing to rank for “three assholes”. When looking at Stewart’s profile she has a son named Sam, I wonder if he is the Sam in Sam and Nate. If that’s the case, then man, go get your mom’s campaign site up, she is going to need it if she keeps ignoring Conway’s crime and I have to keep railing her about it between now and election time.
I’m only partially joking, I make part of my living from critiquing sites and campaigns, so it’s a hard habit to break. But seriously Sam, get your mom’s site up!
