Dog Discussion Forum

You can find out alot about puggles and other dogs just by surfing the net and using your favorite search engine. After all, here you are.

That being said, there are a few extra-special dog resources that deserve additional attention. The Dog Forums are one of those resources.

Dog Forums is a discussion site where dog lovers and owners can get together and share information, opinion, stories and news with other canine fans. The discussion boards cover everything from common questions from new dog owners to detailed discussions about dog grooming strategies.

There's even a place to share pictures of your puggle!

If you love dogs--and you obviously do, because you are here right now--you simply must take a look at Dog Forums. It's a great example of the net at its best--people with a common interest sharing their joy and knowledge. Check it out!

Letting the net name your puggle...

Most of like to name our own dogs. One person, however, decided to let complete strangers help in coming up for a name for a new puggle puppy.

Yahoo's 7Answers site features a person asking for input on naming a new puggle. But there is a catch. As strange as it might sound, they want to name the cute pup after the popular country music act, The Dixie Chicks.

Ever wonder what a stranger from cyberspace would name your puppy if you put that guideline down and left the door open for suggestions? Probably not, but it makes good reading.

Excerpt:

"I'm getting a male puppy tomorrow and want to name him after the Dixie Chicks. Random, yes. However, I'm having trouble coming up with what to call him. So far, I've come up with: Banjo, Dixie, Maines, Earl, Martie, and Cowboy. What are your thoughts or ideas? I'm also considering Atticus, but that's kind of a hard name for a little guy. THANKS!"

NOTE: It looks like some of the responses have been removed due to some criticism of purchasing a puggle in the first place. Odd things happen during odd discussions, I suppose.

Nice puggle overview...

Animaroo has a nice overview of the puggle dog breed that's worth a read from anyone who wants to learn some of the basics about these amazing animals.

In addition to providing a solid encapsulation of the breed, its appearance and tendencies, the article also notes that puggles became the most popular "designer dog" breed after the 2005 media attention that was paid to them.

Excerpt:

"Puggle owners praise the personality of the breed as its most valuable pet trait. They are playful animals and clown-like in disposition. They tend to have short bursts of energy, then quickly tire, take a short nap, then want to play again. These playful tendencies can make them slow to train, and may also manifest in hyperactivity (a trait common to both Beagles and Pugs)."

Building Link Popularity

Search engines are the #1 way people find your website. If you rank high for keywords related to your products or services, you can get a ton of potential customers. The trick, obviously, is figuring out how to get to the top of the search results.

The search engines utilize algorithms that consider numerous factors when ranking sites. One of the most important factors is the number of inbound links. Inbound links are perceived as votes of confidence from others for your site and the search engines reward those with a great deal of apparent authority in a subject, as evidenced by links, with better placement.

Many experts maintain that the sheer quantity of inbound links to your site is incredibly important in getting toward the top. Link popularity is a key to better search engine result placement.

There are many ways to increase the number of inbound links to your site. You can try to organize trades, come up with some sort of great link bait to encourage organic linkings, or you can take an easier, more efficient route. Blogitive will take the information you supply about your site and hand it over to as many bloggers as you can imagine. Those bloggers, in turn, will write about you and will link back to your site. Tons of inbound links in a hurry. Sounds good, huh?
