By Michael Dorausch, DC I like getting these postcard and mailing related posts added to the site. It is actually helping people to find resources they may be interested in, and it gives me a chance to vent. My last mailbox post was on October 27, inbox recycling. I’ve got a pretty hefty stack to go through today. (photo: I took a picture of these bananas when at a chiropractor’s office in Lancaster, California. What happens when you straighten a banana?) okay, stuff received in the mail. No one has sent me a digital x-ray unit get, just lots of

By Michael Dorausch, DC More than 39,000 people participated in the 2008 New York City Marathon this past Sunday. A chiropractor practicing in Clifton New Jersey not only ran the 26.2 mile NYC marathon, he promoted chiropractic along the way. In fact, Dr. Vincent Malba, wore a shirt with his name on the front, and the words “Oaklahaven Children’s Chiropractic Center” on the back. The timing by Dr. Vin is perfect, as it’s time now to gear up for supporting the 2009 Oklahaven Have-A-Heart Fundraiser. One chiropractor will run through five city boroughs of New York promoting chiropractic for kids,
By Michael Dorausch, DC I believe the last time I covered postcards and the other mail coming to my California chiropractic office was earlier this month. There’s another stack on the desk and I’m posting information here before sending everything to the recycle bin. (photo: iPhone loving chiropractor Russell Kun and Butler Pennsylvania Chiropractor Ram Parikh. Picture was taken during attendance at a educational conference) Stuff in the mail: I received a postcard from the International Chiropractors Association of California (notice that’s chiropractors and not chiropractic) in regards to a seminar taking place in Los Angeles on November 15. Hotel
By Michael Dorausch, DC Taking a look at 14,653 different key phrases that accumulated since the beginning of this month, it’s interesting to see how many of the top 10 are related to chiropractors making money, employment in the chiropractic industry, buying or selling chiropractic items, and getting some chiropractic education. There is also 2 related to the upcoming presidential election, in one search for a sexy girl that seems to appear month after month. So in checking key phrases for the month of October, it’s clear that chiropractic is at the top of the list. To the best of

By Michael Dorausch, DC Sometimes the most seemingly obvious stuff gets missed by those with the best of intentions. Like millions of other blog owners, I delete comments and mark comments as spam, nearly every day. There’s the obvious stuff like posts for online poker, male enhancement pills, a wide array of pharmaceuticals, and all sorts of stuff in the adult category. In my case (and many others) the majority of that type of comment spam gets caught by Akismet, a WordPress spam detecting plug-in. I don’t know about others but I don’t even check my spam folders, everything gets

By Michael Dorausch, DC Bare with me while I take you through another post related to top 10 key phrases appearing in planetchiropractic.com log files. Trust me, while this stuff may appear boring, studying keywords and key phrases related to your web site’s traffic, can open up your eyes to entirely new opportunities. Saturday morning I took a screen shot of search results for the previous day, which happened to be the day after the vice presidential debate. Take a look and you’ll notice that five out of the 10 most popular key phrases driving traffic to the website on
By Michael Dorausch, DC Last night Dr. Fred Schofield spoke at DCS in Orange County California. His presentation was marvelous, wish I would have recorded it. Towards the end of the night he had a hand out flier titled The Dynamics of Energy of which I grabbed a copy. The flyers from the book Power of Full Engagement by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz. The flyer shows high versus low energy. Broken into four categories, there is high negative, high positive, low negative, and low positive. Low positive includes characteristics like relaxed, mellow, peaceful, tranquil, and serene. Low negative include
By Michael Dorausch, DC Returned home today from the 2008 San Francisco WordCamp which took place at the Mission Bay Conference Center. This was my third WordCamp event and for me it was the best of them all. The facility was fantastic, the speakers were awesome (more detailed post coming on that later this week), bagels and coffee were great, there was an abundance of stickers and buttons, T-shirts galore, geniuses to hang out with, and I was surrounded by an incredibly open hearted community of individuals. I came home so charged up and I wasn’t expecting that. This was
By Michael Dorausch, DC We can’t all be Strip Mall Chiropractors. My office is located amongst about six other businesses in what we call a “strip mall” or mini shopping center. This past weekend I visited with chiropractors from North Hollywood, Burbank, Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Palmdale, and Bakersfield. I took photos at Frye Chiropractic (which is on 10th Street in Lancaster, California) and at Ryan Chiropractic in Bakersfield. Dr. Ryan’s office was the one that scored local NBC news coverage with the kid video. The above is a photo taken outside of Dr. Jim Ryan’s chiropractic practice in Bakersfield. I
By Michael Dorausch, DC It’s almost the Fourth of July weekend and we likely won’t be posting much content to Planet Chiropractic until Monday. I’ve been a webmaster for more than a decade now and I’m probably not alone in being one of those that does server reboots, site maintenance, and other related web site stuff during holiday weekends. A 4th of July Friday night past midnight is a great time to be working on your server. Traffic is usually really sparse. I’m posting a few geek pics (and some links) from local activities I do when not in my
