Thanks for stopping by Corrine. Good question. Me … here’s a few things I do to protect myself:
- I pay with a debit card or cash as often as I can.
- No revolving credit purchases. Having minimal credit history will cause your credit score to take a hit, but fuck ‘em.
- If I plan to buff my credit score, I’ll take out two 2-year personal loans, keep ‘em stashed in a savings account & pay them off in 3 months.
- Stay away from PayPal.
- I subscribe online using alias emails.
- I do not allow online retailers to retain my billing information after a purchase.

In essence, I take the same approach with my digital footprint that I take with my carbon footprint … MINIMIZE IT.

We know this problem exists with big banks and bankers, now what are we going to do about it? Other than protest on Wall Street and Main Street what’s our next step? We can’t recall Obama’s financial team — what do we do?

In the last election I did not vote for a single Democrat or Republican. I refuse to validate either of these corrupt organizations… and I will not participate in electing their corrupt scoundrels.

Interesting question. I agree this post is a bit dark compared to the rest, but it was a genuine eye opener I had to share. I try to be a storyteller first and foremost, so my focus is squarely on content. Variety is merely a byproduct. As for the post titles – they typically create themselves either while I’m writing or soon after I’m done.

For SEO purposes I suppose I could include linked keywords in my articles (like a press release) to improve website positioning. But any links I have within a post only reference a point that I feel needs to be referenced at the moment readers encounter it. Strategic positioning isn’t even a consideration when I write to be honest.

It all comes down to what you feel works really. If your topics allow you to add keywords in the title or body that can be searched on… great! If not, then don’t force it or the read will come off as an advertisement. Achieving the balance you’re looking for will pose the greatest challenge I think.

Hi. I noticed your blog title, “Voter Privacy: An Urban Legend” does not really reflect the overall content of your website. Do you think it’s better to write for Website positioning or for your visitors? This is one thing I’ve been battling with mainly because I want great rankings but at the same time I want the best quality for my site visitors.

You make good points. I did some research myself and found a number of people either consent with your blog or have “no comment” lol.
