The Couple Next Door was a similar Peg Lynch radio series which aired on CBS Radio during the waning days of network radio, (December 30, 1957 – November 25, 1960) with Peg Lynch and Alan Bunce as the married couple.

Production and Sound Design by Kevin Seaman The Auroras of Autumn Canto 5-10VThe mother invites humanity to her houseAnd table. The father fetches tellers of talesAnd musicians who mute much, muse much, on the tales.The father fetches negresses to dance,Among the children, like curious ripenessesOf pattern in the dance's ripening.For these the musicians make insidious tones,Clawing the sing-song of their instruments.The children laugh and jangle a tinny time.The father fetches pageants out of air,Scenes of the theatre, vistas and blocks of woodsAnd curtains like a naive pretence of sleep.Among these the musicians strike the instinctive poem.The father fetches his unherded herds,Of barbarous tongue, slavered and panting halvesOf breath, obedient to his trumpet's touch.This then is Chatillon or as you please.We stand in the tumult of a festival.What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.Or, the persons act one merely by being here.VIIt is a theatre floating through the clouds,Itself a cloud, although of misted rockAnd mountains running like water, wave on wave,Through waves of light. It is of cloud transformedTo cloud transformed again, idly, the wayA season changes color to no end,Except the lavishing of itself in change,As light changes yellow into gold and goldTo its opal elements and fire's delight,Splashed wide-wise because it likes magnificenceAnd the solemn pleasures of magnificent spaceThe cloud drifts idly through half-thought-of forms.The theatre is filled with flying birds,Wild wedges, as of a volcano's smoke, palm-eyedAnd vanishing, a web in a corridorOr massive portico. A capitol,It may be, is emerging or has justCollapsed. The denouement has to be postponed . . .This is nothing until in a single man contained,Nothing until this named thing nameless isAnd is destroyed. He opens the door of his houseOn flames. The scholar of one candle seesAn Arctic effulgence flaring on the frameOf everything he is. And he feels afraid.VIIIs there an imagination that sits enthronedAs grim as it is benevolent, the justAnd the unjust, which in the midst of summer stopsTo imagine winter? When the leaves are dead,Does it take its place in the north and enfold itself,Goat-leaper, crystalled and luminous, sittingIn highest night? And do these heavens adornAnd proclaim it, the white creator of black, jettedBy extinguishings, even of planets as may be,Even of earth, even of sight, in snow,Except as needed by way of majesty,In the sky, as crown and diamond cabala?It leaps through us, through all our heavens leaps,Extinguishing our planets, one by one,Leaving, of where we were and looked, of whereWe knew each other and of each other thought,A shivering residue, chilled and foregone,Except for that crown and mystical cabala.But it dare not leap by chance in its own dark.It must change from destiny to slight caprice.And thus its jetted tragedy, its steleAnd shape and mournful making move to findWhat must unmake it and, at last, what can,Say, a flippant communication under the moon.VIIIThere may be always a time of innocence.There is never a place. Or if there is no time,If it is not a thing of time, nor of place,Existing in the idea of it, alone,In the sense against calamity, it is notLess real. For the oldest and coldest philosopher,There is or may be a time of innocenceAs pure principle. Its nature is its end,That it should be, and yet not be, a thingThat pinches the pity of the pitiful man,Like a book at evening beautiful but untrue,Like a book on rising beautiful and true.It is like a thing of ether that existsAlmost as predicate. But it exists,It exists, it is visible, it is, it is.So, then, these lights are not a spell of light,A saying out of a cloud, but innocence.An innocence of the earth and no false signOr symbol of malice. That we partake thereof,Lie down like children in this holiness,As if, awake, we lay in the quiet of sleep,As if the innocent mother sang in the darkOf the room and on an accordion, half-heard,Created the time and place in which we breathed . . .IXAnd of each other thought—in the idiomOf the work, in the idiom of an innocent earth,Not of the enigma of the guilty dream.We were as Danes in Denmark all day longAnd knew each other well, hale-hearted landsmen,For whom the outlandish was another dayOf the week, queerer than Sunday. We thought alikeAnd that made brothers of us in a homeIn which we fed on being brothers, fedAnd fattened as on a decorous honeycomb.This drama that we live—We lay sticky with sleep.This sense of the activity of fate—The rendezvous, when she came alone,By her coming became a freedom of the two,An isolation which only the two could share.Shall we be found hanging in the trees next s pring?Of what disaster in this the imminence:Bare limbs, bare trees and a wind as sharp as salt?The stars are putting on their glittering belts.They throw around their shoulders cloaks that flashLike a great shadow's last embellishment.It may come tomorrow in the simplest word,Almost as part of innocence, almost,Almost as the tenderest and the truest part.XAn unhappy people in a happy world—Read, rabbi, the phases of this difference.An unhappy people in an unhappy world—Here are too many mirrors for misery.A happy people in an unhappy world—It cannot be. There's nothing there to rollOn the expressive tongue, the finding fang.A happy people in a happy world—Buffo! A ball, an opera, a bar.Turn back to where we were when we began:An unhappy people in a happy world.Now, solemnize the secretive syllables.Read to the congregation, for todayAnd for tomorrow, this extremity,This contrivance of the spectre of the spheres,Contriving balance to contrive a whole,The vital, the never-failing genius,Fulfilling his meditations, great and small.In these unhappy he meditates a whole,The full of fortune and the full of fate,As if he lived all lives, that he might know,In hall harridan, not hushful paradise,To a haggling of wind and weather, by these lightsLike a blaze of summer straw, in winter's nick.
Arguably the most famous mafioso ever, John Gotti captured the American public’s imagination in the ’80s and '90s. While previous mob bosses had shunned the spotlight-- or at least attempted to-- Gotti seemed to revel in it. Splashed across the covers of national magazines and newspapers, Gotti gave the average American the closest glimpse into mob life that they’d ever had and arguably touched off the mafia obsession in popular entertainment over the next two decades. On this episode, we delve into the life of John Gotti to rate just how much of an asshole the Dapper Don was. Higgins, D. R. (2018, June 7). Why Did the Working Class Love John Gotti So Much?

In a candid conversation, Libier Reynolds, one of the most fun, positive, and outgoing personalities, sits down and shares her story. It hasn't always been sunshine and rainbows though. Libier was born in Mexico (1:00), and always had a passion for performing (5:00), but her journey to acting took many dark turns, which almost made her quit for good (9:00). After moving back to Sacramento, Libier felt a void from not acting or performing. She spent many days praying to God asking why the urge hadn't gone away to act. Out of nowhere a friend asked if she wanted to star in the movie Splashed (20:00). That experience alone unleashed a creative wave that has resulted in her self named blog Libier.com and a book called 'Through the Wilderness' (41:00).

This is the World Organic News for the week ending the 19th of March 2018. Jon Moore reporting! As I discussed last month with the new vision statement for the podcast and blog, “Decarbonise the air, recarbonise the soil.”, in mind I’m calling on my listeners to put forward ideas for an interview episode once a month. If you know anyone who is doing either part of the vision, I’d love to hear from them or, indeed, from you if you are on the front line doing the work. This week I’m going back to first principles. What are these first principles? I’m glad you asked. There are, to my mind three basic truths to earth friendly gardening/farming. No digging/ploughing. No Bare Soil. No chemicals. I am aware these appear to fly in the face of 10,000 years of agricultural/horticultural practice. So let’s look at what those 10,000 years have created, shall we? From Iowa State University Extension and outreach Quote: tillage has all along been contributing negatively to soil quality. Since tillage fractures the soil, it disrupts soil structure, accelerating surface runoff and soil erosion. Tillage also reduces crop residue, which help cushion the force of pounding raindrops. Without crop residue, soil particles become more easily dislodged, being moved or 'splashed' away. This process is only the beginning of the problem. Splashed particles clog soil pores, effectively sealing off the soil's surface, resulting in poor water infiltration. The amount of soil lost from Iowa farmland each year is directly related to soil structure, levels of crop residue remaining on the soil's surface, and the intensity of tillage practices. End Quote Basically, ploughing to turn under crop residue, a practice designed to increase soil organic matter destroys soil structure, seals the soil from the atmosphere and leads to soil erosion. Remember: no soil, no food. While soil erosion is a cumulative effect, eventually only subsoil or bedrock is left, if the system continues to its logical conclusion. Over the past 10,000 years, from the beginning, new land was available for cultivation or top soils were so deep the losses were not catastrophic. We have reached a point where urban populations are now covering those deeper soils or they have gone. Land better suited to grazing is being put to the plough as animals are confined as factory widgets in feedlots rather than as ecosystem components where their grazing improves the grass cover, the soil health and the soil carbon. Think about the removal of the bison from the North American plains and the eventual dustbowl of the 1930s. This appears to have been a common line of cause and effect across human history. So to first principle number 1. No digging. This is most easily understood in a gardening context. The best way to do this, I’ve found, is in raised beds. Raised beds are created by piling organic matter, compost, animal bedding, decomposed leaf mould, that sort of thing onto an organic mat of some sort. I find cardboard is ideal, newspapers work well too. Podcast footnote: For our younger listeners, just google “Newspapers” to discover how we used to consume news in the olden days. End Podcast footnote. To plant into this material simple use you fingers to push larger seeds into the organic material. To plant seedlings a cut is made with a knife and the now topsoil is opened, the seedling inserted and the cut closed by pressure. It is actually much is to do than to describe. Larger implements have been developed for doing this on an agricultural scale. The basically consist of a knife blade, followed by a seeder followed by wheels reclosing the cut. The timing in agricultural settings is important. If planting into pasture, this needs to be timed to coincide with the dieback of summer or winter growing species. So Autumn and Spring. If part of a cereal rotation, then into the stubble from the previous harvest. If you’re following the Fukuoka method, then seed is simply broadcast over the growing cereal crop a couple of weeks before it’s harvested. The new crop is growing when the old is harvested and, as a general rule, survives the harvest without any dramas. The straw from the harvest is spread over the new crop and it pushes through that. The systems to avoid digging have been developed. They are in growing use and the world’s sols are the better for it. No digging goes hand in glove with principle number two: No bare soil. In a garden context, this means “overplanting” when observed from a conventional standpoint. The effect of this is to protect the organic material growing medium and provide extra harvests of other organic material. Let me explain. As the plants grow, some stems are edible, more food, those that are not are thinned as the leaves grow to cover the soil. The thinned plants are dropped onto the soil surface, protecting the soil, decomposing into it and giving space for the growing plants to expand. In an agricultural setting, it means leaving stubble, and shredded storks covering the soil. These then become food for the soil biota as they protect the soil from wind and water erosion. As the soil biota pull this material in the soil structure, they are actually adding carbon to the soil. When soils are left bare they leak carbon, in the form of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. So covered soils have the double effect of reducing CO2 emissions and drawing carbon out of the atmosphere to create more complex, more richly alive soils which grow stronger plants. Win, win, win! Principle number 3: No chemicals. This includes fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. Why? They destroy soil structure, soil biota and plant coverage. Thereby violating both of the other principles. They may not turn the soil but by killing off the soil biota they achieve the same effect. Now it is possible to grow things by ploughing, having bare soil and spraying chemicals but, and this is a big but, this is a Faustian bargain. The cost of this system is first and foremost, topsoil. Not much but enough to have an effect over time. Say 1% of topsoil per year of industrial farming. This is the obvious effect. We now know there are other, less visible effects. These relate to both soil and atmospheric carbon as well as nitrous oxide from nitrogen based fertilisers. The longer the soil is bare the more CO2 it dissipates. The long term effect of this, in human terms, is ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere above 400 ppm. This has the effect of rendering many areas of agricultural practice unsuitable for purpose. The grape growers from episode 107 are an example. Excessive use of monetarily cheap nitrogen fertilisers leads to nitrous oxide leaking into the atmosphere and it too is a greenhouse gas. If we avoid or better yet, decline to use synthetic additives we gain better soils, a more benign climate with the twin benefits of CO2 not leaking into the atmosphere and soil carbon percentages improving, we lower input costs and break the farmer/chemical company dependence cycle. This takes courage but it can be done. So, in summary there are three principles for good organic growing No digging/tilling; No bare soil; and No chemical inputs. By following these three principles, a farmer can free themselves of debt, grow healthier soil and thereby healthier plants and animals and they lower the demand for chemicals and the profit incentive for chemical companies to produce these soil destroying substances. All of the above effects also leads to healthier environments, waterways and, yes, people. And with that I’ll draw this episode to a conclusion. Remember: Decarbonise the air, recarbonise the soil!

Television reporter and writer Tom Mangold; death row survivor Nick Yarris; rally car driver Catie Munnings and Professor Vanessa Toulmin of the National Fairground Archive join Libby Purves. Catie Munnings is an 18-year-old rally car driver. She won the FIA European Rally Championships Ladies' trophy 2016 after only her first season in the sport. At 13 she could execute a perfect handbrake turn and then followed her father Chris, a former rally driver who ran the London Rally School at Brands Hatch, into the sport. When she isn't training in the gym or on the track, Catie has been campaigning to encourage more girls to get into motorsport. Tom Mangold is a television reporter and author who worked as an investigative journalist on the BBC's current affairs series Panorama for 26 years - its longest serving reporter. In his memoir, Splashed!, he recounts his years in the 1950s and 60s on some of Fleet Street's most ruthless newspapers - a time when chequebook journalism ruled. During his career he covered stories from the Profumo Affair to conflicts around the world including Vietnam and Northern Ireland. Splashed! - A Life from Print to Panorama is published by Biteback. Nick Yarris spent 23 years in prison, 22 of them on death row, before DNA evidence finally cleared him in 2003. In 1982 Yarris, a 21-year-old car thief and drug addict from Philadelphia, was sentenced to death for the abduction, rape and murder of a young woman. He spent the next 22 years - much of it in solitary confinement - enduring the casual brutality routinely dished out by guards and inmates. During his time in prison he read up to three books a day and studied the details of his own legal case. Later, as the technology developed, he pressed for post-conviction DNA testing which eventually led to his acquittal. The Fear of 13 Countdown to Execution: My Fight for Survival on Death Row by Nick Yarris is published by Cornerstone. Professor Vanessa Toulmin is director of City and Cultural Engagement at the University of Sheffield. She is also research director of the National Fairground Archive and her collection of circus and fairground material features in a new exhibition at the university. Born into a fairground family herself, her archive also includes material relating to early cinema, world's fairs, magic, wild west shows, menageries, variety, seaside entertainment, and amusement parks. The Spectacle and Wonder exhibition is at the University of Sheffield Library. Producer: Paula McGinley.

When it comes to online marketing, most people are overlooking their number-one biggest asset. Social media activity, off-site ads, and all other tricks are a drop in the bucket compared to the power of the email list. You may have heard me say it a million times on this site, but I’ll say it again here: the energy of your business is directly tied to the strength of your email list. But don’t just take my word for it. “I have literally built a million dollar business on the strength of my email list. Ninety percent of my income comes from it. Even today, my email list is still my #1 business priority and asset.” (Michael Hyatt) “Without a doubt, our email list is the best investment we’ve ever made.” (Douglas Karr) “Email is the most important channel for you to cultivate in your online business.” (Mike Stelzner) These guys are heavyweights in the online marketing world; each of them has a subscriber list numbering well over 100,000. But don’t make the mistake of thinking that a list in the hundreds, or even thousands, makes your email marketing strategy less important. No matter what your subscriber numbers are, your email list is one of the most valuable assets you have in the quest to help your business thrive. When you really understand the value of that list, you’ll be more than happy to invest your time, energy and budget to help that list thrive. In this blog post, I’m going to highlight three foundational strategies for growing your email list. Once you implement these strategies, you’re well on your way to creating smart marketing funnels that will put your list-building efforts on warp speed, as well as lead to increased revenue from each email you send out. The Main Thing: Quality over Quantity When my good friend David Siteman Garland (of The Rise to the Top) started out, he had an email subscriber list of just 500 people. In those early days, he did a small product launch and generated $19,800 on the strength of that list. These days, David’s email list is much larger. What hasn’t changed is the incredible loyalty of those subscribers. Whenever I do any kind of affiliation with David, I’m astonished at the way his list gravitates immediately toward any email he puts out. It’s all because he started with a focus on list quality. David never fails to infuse his emails with his authentic personality. He is genuine, super funny, and a little bit quirky…all reasons why his subscribers love him and keep coming back for more. David is a prime example of my first strategy for growing your email list. Strategy #1: Build Remarkable Content This means more than simply content that people want to share. Remarkable means truly leaving your mark by ensuring that you’ve niched your business well. When you direct your communication in general terms toward anyone who might be listening, no one feels like you are talking to them. The key is talking to a very specific audience about a very specific message. When it comes to content, niching yourself can make all the difference between great and remarkable. The difference starts with how it affects you, the content creator. The people that get very specific with their message tend to get much more excited about their business, because they know exactly what they’re doing and who they’re trying to reach. Creating the content stops being a chore, and starts to simply flow out of them. A message that tries too hard to fit too many different types of people is not only less rich, it’s just not as exciting to create. In contrast, niching your business empowers you to send an extremely powerful message. This is what attracts the people who are going to stay with you. Those are the subscribers who constitute a quality list. Let Your Personality Shine To build a loyal following that eats up everything you putting out there, make sure that you bring your personality to every email. If you are silly, bring that to your emails. If you’re really witty, make sure that shines through. All of those little quirks that make you unique should shine through in your email content. Use stories—especially your own—as much as you can. And when you’ve done a good job of niching yourself, your target audience will instantly see themselves in your stories. This is what remarkable content is made of. It’s what speaks to your audience in a genuine, heartfelt way. It’s what makes them excited to open your emails. Strategy #2: Understand the Opportunities and Limitations of Your Email Service Provider Your “email service provider” is the company you use to send out your bulk emails, as well as manage all of your new opt-ins and leads. Some of the most popular options are AWeber, MailChimp, and Infusionsoft…but there many, many others out there. Before getting into the specifics of this strategy, here’s a little pop quiz to see how well you know your own email service provider. (Don’t worry—if you fail, no one’s even going to know.) Pop Quiz: How Well Do You Know Your Email Service Provider? Does you email service provider require a double opt in from your new leads or do you have the choice for single opt in? Are you able to easily do A-B split testing with your emails? Can you manually import a customer list and mail to that list instantly? Are you able to send out time-based email autoresponders? Are you able to send out a new autoresponder based on a specific action somebody took in an email that you sent? If you just aced that test, bravo. But if you didn’t, don’t worry—you’re not alone. A lot of people sign up for mass email services but never take the time to learn how they work. Invariably, these people get held up in the process every time they try to email their list. It becomes such a negative experience that, over time, they start finding reasons not to email their list. Or they simply rely on sending out the same newsletter template over and over. Being limited in your understanding of how your provider works means stifling not just your creativity, but also your ability to make money. If you're happy with your email service provider, but you don’t know the ins and outs, it's time to make some time for it. If you’ve been thinking you needed to upgrade your provider, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that you can do a whole lot more than you realized. Many providers have great tutorial videos. A lot of them also have Facebook groups where you can ask questions and learn from other users. And if you have an idea in mind that you want to try, but can’t figure it out on your own, take advantage of the provider support desk. Get on the phone with them and tell them exactly what you’re trying to do. Bottom line: the more educated you are about how your email service provider works, the more innovative and strategic ways you’ll come up with to market your business. To help you with this, I’m offering a special free download—a cheat sheet that shows the opportunities and limitations of some of the most popular email service providers. You can download it for free by clicking here. Or simply text 42download to 38470 and I’ll send you that cheat sheet right away. Get the Top Email Service Providers: Pros and Cons FREE DOWNLOAD Strategy #3: Create Multiple Lead Opportunities This third strategy has two parts to consider: 1) Creating Multiple Lead Magnets In my opinion, everybody with an online business should have at least three lead magnets running at any given time. No matter how niched your audience is, you’re going to appeal to more people within that niche if you offer a diverse array of valuables. Some people prefer a webinar. Others just want a cheat sheet PDF. Still others want a full-on report that walks them step-by-step through an important process. We all respond to different modalities. That’s why it’s important that you provide multiple opportunities for your target audience. You can even create multiple lead magnets out of the same content—make a webinar, a PDF and a video out of the same material. Or you can create unique lead magnets for each topic. Experiment with different approaches to find what works best for your business. The results will tell you a lot about your audience. In addition, once you start to use your email service provider to its full potential, you can track and tag your various leads to see where they’ve come from. This is really valuable because it lets you see which platform (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, or others) is converting the most leads for you, as well as which individual lead is converting the best. Never forget that the point of having a lead magnet is to lead your new prospect into becoming a paying customer. Therefore, you must create lead magnets with your profit path in mind. It’s okay if you’re not ready to launch a program or product just yet. Even if you’re in a place in your business where you’re just building up your online presence, it’s still extremely important that you create your lead magnet to start building your list. If you are ready to sell, think about your end game. Is your lead magnet aligned with what you plan to sell? What does you idea audience need to understand, be aware of, or believe in order to want or need your product, program, or service? Design your lead magnet content to ensure that your audience truly understands the value of your offer. Where most people fail with a lead magnet is creating it with the idea of only offering immense value. That’s important, but it’s not the only thing to focus on. A well-designed lead magnet not only offers value, but also leads your prospect to a buying decision. Let’s say you are a health and fitness coach, and your business is all about helping people lose weight. If your paid program is a ten-day meal plan to detox from sugar, a great lead magnet might be “Ten tips to beat sugar cravings.” The two are aligned with each other; with a lead magnet like that, you’re going to attract the perfect audience that would be genuinely interested in what you have to sell. 2) Placement of Your Opt-In Form There are six places where you must create opt-in opportunities for your audience: #1: A Feature Box Feature boxes work like gangbusters. Splashed right across the header of your website, they are a great representation of your brand from the moment someone lands on your home page. (You can see mine at amyporterfield.com.) #2: The Sidebar Everyone is familiar with this one—the right column of a website is where people expect to find the links they need to navigate your website. You definitely want an opt-in opportunity here. #3: Inside Your Blog Content It just makes sense to have a link to your free valuable content in the midst of your primary content. By hyperlinking a word or phrase, readers can click to make a box appear that allows them to receive your free giveaway by entering their name and email. This is where I use Lead Pages—it has a feature called Lead Boxes that allows you to do exactly that. #4: The End of a Blog Post A reader who has followed your blog post to the very end is a hot lead for you. So create an opportunity with an opt-in box at the end of a post where they can sign up to receive even more value. #5: The Pop-Up Box If you just cringed when I said that, stay with me. Pop-up boxes definitely get a lot of bad press. But the fact remains that they are extremely effective. Between January 2011 and January 2013, Social Media Examiner grew their email list by 375% to over 190,000 readers. Founder Mike Stelzner attributes nearly 70% of that growth to the site’s pop-up box. Here’s a contrasting example from renowned blogger and author Chris Penn. After he took his pop-up box down from his website, he said his subscriptions “fell off a cliff.” Within weeks, he started running a new series of pop-up boxes and saw an increase in his opt-ins. Pop-up boxes definitely work, especially if you are cultivating a quality audience. I promise, if your audience really feels loyal to you, they are not going to be annoyed by it. Pop-ups are infinitely customizable these days. You can design them to look the way you want and appear only when you want them to. (One of my favorite tools to customize pop-up boxes is optinmonster.com.) I like to have them appear within minutes of someone being on the site, but not appear again until 15 or 30 views later. You can also make sure they are mobile friendly—in other words, that people viewing your site on their smartphones can make the pop-up box go away, if they want to. #6: Your “About” Page You might be surprised to hear that your About page is one of the most popular pages on your site. So if you’re not including a few email sign-up opportunities on your About page, you are likely losing some great traffic. Again, Lead Boxes is a great option for embedding an opt-in opportunity inside your About page text. You might be thinking that’s a lot of places to incorporate an opt-in box on your website. But it all comes back to being appropriately aggressive in building your list. Don’t think you’re bothering somebody with an opt-in box. If your content is remarkable, and you’ve built a quality audience that is eager to hear from you, then they will be eager to sign up as well. If they’ve already signed up, they will just ignore the opt-in opportunities. It’s a good idea to mix up your lead magnets and opt-ins throughout those different placements. For example, on my feature box across the top of my website, I have a free mini series about social media and list building. But inside my About page, I will have a PDF of all of the tools I use online. Then in the right sidebar I have an opportunity to sign up for a webinar. This is not something you can do overnight. It takes a little bit of time to build up your lead magnet opportunities. But it’s definitely worth the effort. Key takeaways Three online marketing strategies to help build your email list: Build remarkable, personalized content Learn to really use your email service provider Create multiple lead opportunities and embed them throughout your site And always focus on quality, and the quantity will follow.
