I`ve been listening to Jeff and Rich`s audio StartupNation for a while now,
and decided to become a member last week. This looks like a vibrant
community packed with practical wisdom!
Very much looking forward to engaging in the community.
Anybody involved in any area of businesses dealing with documentation,
public relations, translation, copywriting...we`ll have a natural base for
interaction. But we all know that entrepreneurial creativity,
problem-solving, ups, downs, all transcend any industry.
Meaning, I`m open to sharing ideas with anybody!
Question: We need to get more web traffic from well targeted searches.
Are there any particular threads here on SEO that have rocked your world?

I have a very nice neighbor lady who
lives downstairs, and she speaks only Korean.
She gave me some bok goli (sp?) and it was great. I wanted to simply
say, "Thank you" to her, and went all over the Web looking for these
two things. I couldn`t read the Korean characters, so that didn`t help.
What I wanted was to type in "thank you," then get a phonetic
approximation.Just so you know, the transliteration of "Thank you" in Korean is "Kamsahamnida." Just in case your neighbor cooks something for you again. I get your greater point, Craig. If we offer something immediately useful, for free, such as transliterations of common Japanese greetings or some kind of widget, then users would bookmark us, etc. Hmmm... Yeah, we would be wise to keep this idea in mind. Thanks!
I`ve been in Korea for business only twice and know only a handful of
phrases, but I believe you can teach yourself to pronounce kamsahamnida
by first breaking it up in the following way.
Kamsa hamnida
The "a" sounds are like in the the word "pasta."
The "i" is, as you guessed, like the "ee" in "need" (but shorter).
The "h" is softened as it is in French, so the second half sounds more like
`amnida.
Then you can elide the last "a" sound in kamsa with the first "a" sound in
`amnida, but the stress is on the first sound in `amnida:
kamsa`Amnida
Let me know if you successfully impress your neighbor!
