Occasionally I peruse the referring URLs to see what people are searching for to find Myopic Zeal. Often I am surprised.

I noticed several recently from a Yahoo search for Diversity on Campus that pointed to this post. Turns out we’re the second Yahoo search result for that phrase, outflanked by only UMass Amherst.

Fun.

And in a strong testimonial to the power of advertising on Myopic Zeal, we also have several listings in the first page of Google results for the term Marbleworks (currently 8th and 9th), Super Marbleworks (coming in 2nd and 3rd!)

How, you might wonder, is this possible? Well, the Discovery Toys Super Marbleworks is one of our favorite toys, and we have mentioned this several times in the past. One of our favorite sponsors is a Discovery Toys senior educational consultant, and we have linked to her website as a service to both her and our readers. If you’re interested in purchasing some of these great products (guaranteed for life!), click through to her site. If you’re a business owner interested in advertising here, consider what a spot on Myopic Zeal, and the occasional associated commentary, could do for your search engine rankings! Email us if you would like more info on this “amazing opportunity!” :-)

So far, we have only advertised for products which we have personally tested and approved. In that vein, we also highly recommend that you take some time out of your busy life for a relaxing week or maybe just a long weekend in beautiful Brown County, Indiana. Woods’ Edge is a uniquely decorated condominium sitting on Salt Creek Golf Course just outside of the quaint artisan village of Nashville, IN. It’s worth the trip.

Here’s a category by category recommendation (kind of a broadened line by line analysis) on turning the budget deficit into a large budget surplus.

As one who thinks that taxes are plenty high enough, on the rich as well as on everyone else, and that budgetary problems should be solved by budget cutting, it’s time to go to work.

Here’s Ken’s work. See what you think.
