Seattle Traffic Lawyer | Marketing
Posted by GuestPoster in Business & Marketing on February 23rd, 2010
Attorneys are a funny breed. We all want to be first. We all want to be the best. We all think we’re the best. And we’re not afraid to go after someone a little bit when we think it will give us the upper hand. And, though it may not seem like it, the same rules apply whether you are a Seattle traffic lawyer or a corporate big wig.
Let me give you an example of what I mean in the marketing context of things. When I was first starting out, I dabbled a little bit in internet marketing. This means I understood the difference between a good backlink and a nofollow backlink, I understood the uselessness of comments, and I knew how to get a page ranked in Google quickly. So I used this knowledge to my advantage. I started a couple of Seattle traffic law blogs, started creating some links, and the phone started ringing.
And one day the phone rang and it was a fellow Seattle speeding ticket attorney. He wanted to know if I was the one writing the blog posts. I told him I was, rather pleased with myself, and he started berating me for having them up there. He wanted to know what gave me the authority to tell all of our traffic ticket secrets (of which there are none).
I wish I acted like I was big time, but I didn’t. I just told him I didn’t realize people were out there getting mad and I’d back off it a little bit. That lasted for about five seconds, until I’d had time to think about it and realized the guy was angry not because I was giving away secrets but because I was taking his business.
The lesson of the day folks is that if you’re marketing and no one is just a little bit mad at you, you aren’t doing it right. You have to find a way to get your name out there, and as long as you aren’t breaking any laws or ethical rules, it’s fair game.

Why Cycling Shirts Can Be Great For Comfort And Safety
Posted by GuestPoster in Men's and Women's Fashion on February 19th, 2010
Wearing high performance cycling shirts and jerseys has some distinct advantages over using normal everday clothes such as t-shirts or other general clothing. One of the main reasons for taking to the road with a cycling shirt is that very often they are brightly colored. This is not a matter of vanity; it is a matter of guaranteeing that other road users can actually see you. It is normal, especially after long journeys, for vehicle drivers to “focus out” small things on the road, such as cyclists, if they can see a larger vehicle further on. This is very bad news for you as a cyclist, and exactly the same type of “cycle-blindness” occurs at junctions. Normally the first conscious sight of the cyclist is when he is hurled over the handlebars.
So when it comes to your safety on the road, do not be shy; buy a top that is highly visible, even if it does not live up to your normal sense of style.
The second main reason that cycling shirts are preferable to normal cotton tops is that they are made from high performance moisture wicking materials, that actively remove sweat from the surface of your body. It’s a one way system; moisture permeates away from your skin as vapor, then condenses once it is outside the first micro-layer. Once the moisture has condensed, it cannot travel back to your skin. So there is a huge comfort reward to wearing these specialist jerseys. Of course, you do not necessarily need to get the cycling-specific gear; there are many other types of sportswear that feature this moisture wicking ability, such as some of the higher end jogging shirts. It is best to try a few out over time, and see which type you are happiest with. The other bonus with professional cycling shirts is that they are designed to be tighter, and therefore more aerodynamic, so if you are into cycle racing, you would be better off with the ones made for cycling.
The main points to look for when shopping for a cycling shirt will be its color – sometimes they also have light reflective strips as part of the design – and moisture wicking ability, so you get to your destination safely and without being soggy or sticky.
