An Image of Ross Joyner
Yes that’s really me. My name is Ross Joyner and I am a retired Piano Tuner of about 40 years. A few years back I decided to follow my dream and start doing something I really enjoyed. That something was blogging. I have spent hours every day learning the ins and outs of blogging, Video, Photography, copyrighting and everything else that goes in the social media basket. I really enjoy helping people put there blogs together and enjoy seeing them rise up in the google ranks without all of this Black Hat stuff. Do it right and you will get there. The first site I built was http://www.pianodoctor.net It was a website back then but I can now boast Number 1 Local rankings . It also ranks for my keyword on the first page across the country. Now I tell you this so you will understand this is not a very pretty site but it ranks very well and has a page rank of in between 3.6 and 4. I love this business and I am currently learning Thesis which is a bit challenging but over all has a great SEO layer and with a pretty neat graphics layer that you can change without hurting your SEO efforts. If I can help any of you in any way Please let me know and I love reading your comments.
