About Jeremy Likness
People often ask, "What do you do?" I do a lot of things. I'm an entrepreneur, a mentor, a health coach, a software developer, a director, and a manager. These are the things I do ... but who I am is a father, a husband, and someone who enjoys life and all of the blessings it brings. (For what I'm doing right now, read my blog).» Read more
Organic Searches: Content, Content, Content
The most common question I receive is, "How do I make my site appear in organic searches?" Of course that is a popular question for online marketers because no one wants to have to (gasp) pay for search engine traffic. I was able to position my former website, NaturalPhysiques.com, as one of the top 40,000 sites in the entire Internet as ranked by Alexa.com through almost 100% organic search engine positioning. One of the key reasons was due to content.» Read more
Hierarchal Queries in SQL 2005: Traversing the Tree
Many business situations require a hierarchy of information, something that technologies like XML handle quite well, but traditional relational databases do not. SQL 2005 provides some powerful tools to help developers both "unroll" and traverse hierarchies. Take the example of a corporation. There is a CEO, followed by various presidents and vice presidents, who then have directors, managers, and on down to the field technicians, developers, and operators. How would we represent this structure in a database and traverse the tree?» Read more
Are Meta Tags Really Dead?
Meta tags. They're not required. Some sites claim that you will never, ever make it into a search engine without one. Other sites state that meta tags are dead, worthless, and a waste of time. Who's right and where do they tie into online marketing?» Read more

I started my first health and wellness business in 2000. It was called "Peak Physiques." My second venture, "Natural Physiques" lasted several years under the corporate identity of Golden Summit, Inc. When I joined Wandering WiFi, I knew that building a multi-million dollar software company would require dedication, so I sold most of my business to focus on the new project. I did keep the rights to my articles as well as my book, and continue to share this information through Lose Fat, Not Faith.» Read more
Wandering WiFi, LLC
I joined the Wandering WiFi team in 2006. My family was living in St. Pete Beach, Florida at the time. I was running our health and wellness business as well as consulting for PricewaterhouseCoopers. This was an opportunity I could not turn down ... I knew the company had a solid management team and it would tap into many of my skills both in technology and as an entrepreneur. I approached the position with an "owner attitude" rather than simply as an employee.» Read more

Instead, she sat my wife and I down and asked what she could do in order to earn enough money to pay for the lessons herself. She loves cooking and quickly determined she would bake organic, healthy foods and sell them at local markets. Lizzie Marie Cuisine was born.» Read more
