Modifying search pages for Santa Clarita chiropractic

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Here’s a step-by-step summary of what to do when changing an active page from one directory to another when on the same chiropractic website.

Here is the page we started with…

Santa Clarita Chiropractor
http://www.planetc1.com/chiropractor_directory/santa_clarita_chiropractor.html
Page has a PR five

Ranked number five on Google for search term. That’s not anywhere near good enough.

Goal is to reposition page in a new directory without losing traffic or page rank.

Actual HTML page is moving from the directory… /chiropractor_directory/ to /NearMe/

We will be setting up a 301 permanent redirect

Step one: login to domain via FTP, locate page in directory and transfer to local machine for editing.
Step two: After page is edited and saved upload via FTP into proper directory then check page using HTML browser.
Step three: Setup page redirect on the server (using 301 redirect rules)

New page location…
http://www.planetc1.com/NearMe/santa-clarita-chiropractor.html

After that is done check to see the page loads properly when redirected. Check in Google or other major search engine. Make any changes you can on internal links to the new page. For example, this page had a link from the home page. We want to update that page as well.

Page rank will disappear on new page since it is brand new. If all goes well page rank should be applied to new page and appear within the next 30 days.

I’ll post here when page rank appears that we will have a general timeline for how long it took. Page appears on Planet Chiropractic.

Chiropractic Website Urges Support For Organizations

Sunday, April 29th, 2007

Los Angeles: Keeping any organization going requires support and input from members. After all, it's not one individual player that makes an organization successful, it's the combination of working together as a team in pursuit of the organization's mission that makes it so great.

The two chiropractic associations in California (and other chiropractic organizations across the globe) would benefit greatly by garnering increased support and participation from doctors in the field, vendors, educators, students, chiropractic family members, and even the people we serve.

Individuals working for chiropractic associations throughout the world put in lots of hours, often times voluntarily, and they don't ask for anything in return. In my experience these individuals want to see the profession of chiropractic continue to grow and flourish so that more people will be able to receive chiropractic care than do today. I know of many chiropractors who have traveled all over the United States lecturing on the benefits of chiropractic care as well as lecturing about the great opportunities presented by becoming a chiropractor. Their main mission was to spread the message of chiropractic, without expectation of receiving something in return.

I published an article to the planet chiropractic blog pages last week urging greater financial support of California's chiropractic associations. In the post, titled: Support California Chiropractic Organizations, I offered an incentive to those deciding to make a financial contribution to either of the two chiropractic associations during the month of May.

let's talk about chiropracticYou can visit the post or get some of the information here which was modified from the blog page...

How about this for some incentive? Support your chiropractic organizations in the State of California and get something additional in return! For the month of May Planet Chiropractic will send 10 copies of individually wrapped audio CDs featuring Dr. James Sigafoose giving a live lecture on the benefits of chiropractic care for checks you write made out either to the CCA or ICAC.

Thanks to the generosity of legendary chiropractor Dr. James Sigafoose, Planet Chiropractic was able to record a very special patient appreciation talk that he gave for his daughters chiropractic practice back in December of 2000. The event was attended by more than 400 people and we captured the audio digitally. It was edited to create a 30 minute CD audio presentation titled "Let's Talk about Chiropractic."

Here are the detailsÂ…

1. Write a valid check of $50 (US funds) or more made out to either chiropractic organization (California Chiropractic Association - International Chiropractors Association of California).
2. Mail your check to Planet Chiropractic before the end of May, 2007 (address is listed below)
3. We will mail you 10 chiropractic audio CDs (each individually shrink-wrapped and listed at $21.95)
4. We will deliver all checks to the organizations at months-end and weÂ’ll cover the cost of shipping CDs to you!

You do not have to be a chiropractor in the state of California to be able to participate and benefit from this offer. This offer is limited to the continental United States (mainly so we can keep shipping costs under control). You can visit the links below if you want more information about the products weÂ’ll be sending you. DonÂ’t forget to include your shipping address along with payment so we can get your items to the proper location.

If youÂ’d like to be thanked publicly on the Planet Chiropractic web site, please provide pertinent office information. This offer is subject to change and if any changes are made we will post that information here.

Please make your checks out to the chiropractic organizations listed above (not to Planet Chiropractic), you can mail them to this addressÂ… (itÂ’s okay if you want to make a check out to each organization)

Planet Chiropractic
2509 Ocean Ave.
Venice, CA 90291

I'd really like to see people offer greater support to their state chiropractic organizations and I know that Dr. James Sigafoose feels the same way. If you'd like your state chiropractic association to benefit from a similar offer, forward them this information and have them contact us for more details at the address listed above.

California Vaccine News AB16

Thursday, April 26th, 2007
provided by NVIC

This may come too late as voting on this bill was yesterday, April 25, 2007. Information is being included on planet chiropractic for educational purposes only. A copy of the bill (AB 16) is available below PDF format. It is recommended that you visit the link for more information.

A bill being considered by the California legislature would strip parents of the right to exempt their child from vaccination. California residents who wish to express their views on this should contact legislators immediately.

CALIFORNIA ACTION ALERT (Forwarded from National Vaccine Information Center)

Tomorrow, Wednesday, April 25, 2007, at 1:30 p.m. there will be a hearing in the California State Assembly Committee on Education to vote on Assembly Bill 16 (AB 16). This bill was originally an HPV mandate but was unable to advance and has now been gutted and amended to remove HPV language and replace it with much more dangerous language. With only two days public notice, this bill was rammed through the Assembly Health Committee last week on a vote of 10 - 4.

AB 16 WOULD REMOVE THE POWER FROM THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO APPROVE NEW VACCINE MANDATES AND HAND IT OVER TO STATE PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS. ALL NEW VACCINES RECOMMENDED BY THE CDC FOR CHILDREN WOULD BE AUTOMATICALLY MANDATED FIVE YEARS LATER. Citizens would not be able to speak through their elected representatives and stop a new vaccine mandate, such as HPV vaccine, or stop any other new vaccine recommended by the CDC from being mandated.

AB 16 REMOVES THE MEDICAL EXEMPTION, RELIGIOUS EXEMPTION AND PHILOSOPHICAL EXEMPTION TO VACCINATION AND REPLACES IT WITH A PARENTAL "BELIEF" EXEMPTION WHICH HAS NO CONSTITUTIONAL OR LEGAL DEFENSE IF IT IS ELIMINATED IN THE FUTURE. Removal of medical exemption implies there are no medical reasons to exempt and leaves doctors as enforcers of government policy without any moral or legal responsibility for preventing vaccine injuries and deaths. Removal of religious exemption ignores the validity of deeply held religious beliefs opposing vaccination and the right to religious freedom, which is protected under the First Amendment. Exemption for philosophical or conscientiously held beliefs also has more legal standing than undefined parental "beliefs."

IF PASSED, THIS KIND OF LEGISLATION COULD SET PRECEDENT FOR OTHER STATES TO FOLLOW.

In a democracy, we elect men and women who will listen to our concerns and vote for laws which reflect the will of the majority of citizens. When our elected officials hand over power to unelected government officials, they usually do it so they can ignore the voice of the people and impose laws on citizens against their will.

Rick Rollens, co-founder of the MIND Institute at UC- Davis and father of a vaccine injured autistic son, will be testifying against AB 16 tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. in Room 4202 of the State Capitol in Sacramento, CA.

California State Assembly Committee On Education Members Committee Jurisdiction: Primary jurisdictions are education generally, certificated employees of schools, school finance, and school facilities.

Excerpts from AB 16 Bill...
This bill would, in addition, on and after July 1, 2008 2009, prohibit the governing authority from unconditionally admitting or advancing any female pupil to the 7th grade level of any of those institutions unless the pupil has received the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.

Immunization of a person shall not be required for admission to a school or other institution listed in Section 120335 if the parent or guardian or adult who has assumed responsibility for his or her care and custody in the case of a minor, or the person seeking admission if an emancipated minor, files with the governing authority a letter or affidavit stating that any or all of the immunizations are contrary to his or her beliefs.
