At the Salt Lake Chamber's Business-to-Business Expo I met Mary Ann Harmon, who offers a dog obedience service — or as she prefers to call it, dog behavior modification, Bark Busters. Upon learning that I am a blogger, she engaged me in some B2B networking. Like any struggling entrepreneur, Mary Ann wants to increase traffic to her site.

I was able to pass on a tip that Trib techs had impressed upon me about selecting words wisely to attract search engines. Phrases hinting at eroticism apparently drive online commerce. I was advised that liberal use of even the word "buttocks" will bring a site increased hits.

I told Mary Ann she might try to work into Bark Busters' online presence phrases like, "Teach your bitch to sit up and beg." Or "We offer good ol' doggy style obedience."

I was just getting warmed up when I noticed Mary Ann had taken several steps back. She had remembered an urgent appointment, she said, but would let me know how it works out.

Good luck, Mary Ann.
