The Power of Search and Breastfeeding

What does search  marketing have to do with breastfeeding?

I’m glad you asked! A popular search marketing blogger, Jennifer Laycock, is the editor of Search Engine Guide, but also maintains a breastfeeding blog called The Lactivitist. Apparently she’s been selling t-shirts featuring a slightly revised version of the slogan, “The Other White Meat” which has gotten the pork folks all upset. They sent this work-from-home mom who is promoting the value of breastfeeding a threatening, lawyerly letter. This is riduculous, and you can read the sordid details on The Lactivist right….here.

Why am I even mentioning this? Well, because I want to lend my support as a fellow female search marketer and former breastfeeding mom (with child #1, anyway). I also love, love LOVe how great this entire situation exemplifies the power of search marketing and the blogging community online - and i’m not even an active member of this particular blogging community. I’m just someone with a Web site who can contribute a measly little link, that when combined with lots of other links from blogs - large and small - will most certainly have the National Pork Board deeply regretting its decision to pick on someone who knows a thing or two about search marketing.

By the way, Back off National Pork Board.
