Well, here's our gas prices as of last night and this is already outdated.  Drove by this morning and it was $3.14 for regular. Can you imagine the man hours that are involved in changing the price on these signs?  I bet we could fix the national debt just by farming this out to India.  In the last couple of years you would think that the gas station owners would have invested in a better way to change the prices by now.  There some signs that have an LED look to them, with the savings from the man hours and the extra cost of the sign...they should be at a break even point if they purchased it last summer.Do you remember driving down the highway and seeing the old gas station signs up on billboards with the current price? Sure it was like .78 cents back then, but the price never changes... 05/23/2007

Here is a tool that is both interesting and helpful for your SEO and marketing. Google trends tracks the activity of internet search terms over a period of time. Although one downfall is if the term does not get enough activity and trends report can not be created.Let us take the terms Maryland Homes and Maryland Real Estate (my service area). Both terms have trends that are fairly comparable as should be given the similarity of the meanings of the phrases. The activity gives us clues about the real estate market. First, notice the peak in mid 2005. This peak corresponds to the hottest point in our Maryland marketplace in recent years as it did with many locations across the United States.  After that point into 2006 the terms overall were search for less often correlating to the real e... 04/10/2007

These aren't the typical tips, such as taking care of the dogs, cleaning the house, packing your undies and the like. Instead, these tips deal specifically with the physical move and ways to make it easier and less stressful for folks who are moving hundreds of miles. Tip #2 - Moving Tips Ease Your Pain First of All, Sell All that You Can. Don't hang onto all the stored clothes, books, old records, etc., just because you might need it someday. Have a humongous yard/garage sale and just get rid of it. Besides freeing you up from household items that your children or grandchildren will throw away anyway once you've made that "final move," eliminating extraneous items will put some road money in your pocket and save you money if you're hiring a moving company, which charges by weight.
