[Image description: A three panel infographic made for InterACT titled, "What is Intersex?"

Panel One: What is Intersex?

Is it part of the LGBT acronym? Is it people with both male and female parts? It it when people have sex internationally?

Intersex people are born with any combination of sex characteristics that do not fit the "typical" idea of a male or female body. This could include variations in hormones, internal anatomy, genitals, and chromosomes.

0.05% to 1.70% of the population is born with an intersex trait. The upper number makes being born intersex as common as being born a redhead!¹ (Drawing of two people's head)

Intersex = hermaphrodite? The word hermaphrodite is outdated and is usually considered offensive. (Though some intersex groups have reclaimed it.)

Hermaphrodite usually means having complete reproductive organs of two sexes, and even if some intersex people are born with ambiguous genitalia, very few have both ovarian and testicular tissue.

(Drawing of a purple snail.) True hermaphrodism is only common in invertebrates. There are 65,000 species in the animal kingdom that function as true hermaphrodites!²

Inter...sex or gender? *

*Two very different things! (Drawing of two pages sew together. Page one reads, "Sex centers around a person's anatomy". Page two reads, "Gender is a social role and identity." Next to the sewing needle reads, "But society tends to tie the two together!")

(Drawing of a heart that reads, "Sexuality is who you are attracted to.)

The word sex and gender are often (incorrectly) used interchangeably. Being intersex affects the sex characteristics a person is born with. Intersex people can identify with any gender and sexual orientation.

Panel Two: What can intersex look like?

(Text next to a pink-themed person) My intersex variation is Gonadal Dysgenesis. I found out at the age of 15 when I still hadn't gotten a period. I have XY chromosomes and I have to take estrogen to help my bone health because I was born without ovaries.

(Text next to a red-themed person) My intersex variation is Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH). I found out at birth. CAH is one of a few intersex variations with additional medical considerations, because it affects the body's ability to produce stress hormones. I take testosterone and I identify as transgender.

(Text next to a blue-themed person) My intersex variation is Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS). That means my body developed in a way that "typically" female, but I was born with XY chromosomes and internal testes instead of ovaries. My body is insensitive to testosterone, so it converts it to estrogen instead.

(Text next to a purple-themed person) My intersex variation is Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS). That means I only partially responded to testosterone in the womb. (Because of this, people with PAIS may have ambiguous sex at birth.) My parents found out I had PAIS when I was born. I have XY chromosomes and I identify as transgender.

Doctors often encourage surgical removal for female-identified instersex people who have internal testes. However, this is NOT medically necessary and has more to do with society's view on sex and gender. Removing hormone producing organs make a person reliant on the medical industry for external hormones! Similar to other LGBT groups, intersex people struggle for bodily autonomy. We may have to fight against surgeries we don't want.

Panel Three: Why intersex awareness?

(Drawing of a calendar on page October 26) Intersex Awareness Day is October 26th! It honors the anniversary of the first public intersex outside of a Boston conference held by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1996³.

We celebrate this day so that every intersex child can be free to make their own choices."Intersex rights are human rights." Kimberly Zieselman, Executive Director, InterACT

Still today, in America and abroad, intersex children are subject to nonconsensual and medically unnecessary genital surgeries. The United Nations has condemned these harmful procedures, but we still have a long way to go⁴.We're fighting for bodily autonomy, recognition, and demedicalization. For many, intersex is an identity. We're the "I" in LGBTQIA" intersex, not invisible.

(Two flags, one has purple, white, blue, pink,  white, and purple stripes. The second flag is yellow with a purple circle.)

There are two intersex flag to choose from, (left) created in 2009 by Natalie Phox, and (right) created in 2013 by OII Australia⁵.

Local Business SEO Domination

Note: this is a lengthy article and assumes some knowledge of SEO concepts. If you need a primer on SEO, the post Search Engine Optimization Explained will be useful and should be read prior to diving into this post on local search engine optimization.

For small businesses to dominate the competition and win the search engine war, they must focus on optimizing key website ranking factors such as site structure, page content, links, keywords and meta tags. Ignore these things and you risk getting lost in cyberspace! For this reason, there is a big rush for many SMBs to acquire an expert SEO consultant.

A well-trained SEO expert will be able to identify the keywords that best describe the company and its products, then get them listed and ranked on the major search engines. When searching, people usually use keywords or phrases to find what they want. These keywords are important, especially for small businesses, to stay competitive.

In the coming years, small businesses will need to be even more aggressive to compete in their market as the consumer turns to the Internet for shopping and small business sourcing. Thus, setting aside budget for SEO should be a high priority. Small businesses do not have the same capitalization as their larger competitors, but if the techniques for implementing a well-planned local SEO campaign are adopted, success will be easier to achieve. Since the Internet presents a level playing field for both large and small companies the best solution for a local business to compete and win against their larger rival is to be visible on Google. Forbes wrote a great article on 7 reasons that small businesses should care about local SEO.

 SEO success starts with a focus on the major ranking factors

Statistical analysis of the top ranking factors used by search engines gives us a reasonable view into the top factors for ranking, and their weighting has remained relatively constant for years. Focus on these points, and spend your efforts building a better, attractive, more easily navigated, and more informative website. Remember, we are building websites for real people, not the Google bot.

Let’s start with the all important 40/40/20 ratio. Through statistical analysis of thousands of sites, search engine analysts have discovered that 40% of rankings are a result of on-page factors. Another 40% are a result of off-page factors including backlinks and intra-site links, and 20% are a result of the URL naming convention. Note that the exact percentages vary slightly between engines, but the general balance of factors remains consistent.

Following are three key factors for ranking. With discipline, focus, and patience if you work on these critical elements you will be nearly guaranteed to see your search engine results improve.

 The first ranking factor is called ‘on-page,’ where you must identify the optimum keywords to use and place them in the right location, with the proper density.

If you don’t know where to start with your keyword development, there is no better resource than Google and the Keyword Planner is an excellent tool to discover what people are searching for. You can access the Keyword Planner at https://adwords.google.com/KeywordPlanner

For example, a site owner that sells home decoration products might type in ‘home decor’, ‘wall decor’ or ‘interior design decorations’ and the tool will return all the permutations of those phrases that your customers may use to find your site.

Develop pages following the 40/40/20 formula for each of the terms you identify in the keyword planner, focusing on a few keywords or phrases per page. What are the right places and density to add keywords on a page? The best is in the title tag, the description tag, and the keywords tag. But, DO NOT STUFF them, be elegant and think about your reader.

Remember that we are building pages for humans, not computers (search engines). Which even if your page is not penalized by Google for keywords that appear too frequently, keyword stuffed content will not be as readable, or the message may be jumbled, which will not help with conversion. You may be tempted to think, “I’ll add my keyword in just one more place,” but using the keyword LESS may improve your rankings just the same. Put simply, don’t overuse keywords, and stick to regular sentence structures.

Read a blog post on the topic here http://seorankeragency.com/stop-spamming-add-value-engage-readers/

Let’s look at some of the latest data for the sweet spot for on-page ranking factors. It turns out that 10 to 20% keyword density for the tile and 10% density for the meta description is optimal. As for placement, adding the keyword at or toward the beginning of each field is preferred. As an example, if we want to use our keyword ‘home decor’, an optimal title tag could be ‘vintage home decor accessories’.

For the keyword list on each page, you can enter up to twenty words or phrases placing the highest value words at the beginning. Note that all words should appear in the body text of the page. Also, make sure the description field is well written and attention grabbing as it will be shown in some organic search result records. You want it to be customer friendly as well as easy for Google to understand.

The requirement for the quantity of body text needed to rank is contested among SEOs. Some feel the number of words on a page does not contribute significantly to ranking, while others declare any fewer than two or three thousand words is needed. But in general, everyone agrees that 1000 words should be a minimum target. Keep the keyword density around 2%, and if possible make sure keywords are spaced out in the article at the beginning, middle and end.

There are dozens, if not more, keyword density analyzers that you can use to measure this metric. My suggestion is to find one you like and ignore the rest. You’ll get conflicting reports from various sites which can be misleading and confusing, causing you to think that you must re-tweak other factors. But don’t fall into the trap. You’ll only spend hours optimizing for that tool, just to discover the next tool provides a different answer.

SEO dominance is not about getting one single ranking factor perfect, but rather balancing all the key factors so that Google sees your site as being of higher quality or informational value than your competitor. Remember, ranking is a competition, but where the competitors are not every website on the Internet, only those who also are competing for the same keywords. One tool to help with keyword analysis on your site is the Google Search Console.

Other notable on-page factors include image alt tags, H1-H6 tags, bold and italic text, and the number of outgoing (inter and intrasite) links.

Image alt tags matter as a condition for ranking which is why you want to get your keywords placed in these fields. But do not stuff them. Also, H1-H6 tags are excellent ways to call attention to what your page or article is about, make sure to utilize these valuable heading tags. Bold and italicized text though not as strong as ‘H tags’ may contribute to ranking. But again, use them naturally. You want your page to read normally and not be one sea of bolded black text.

On-page links are an important contributor to ranking, and some go so far as to say they are one of the single most important objectives. The idea for valuing external links as of critical importance is because they are a metric that is difficult to manipulate and therefore is the central method for a search engine to determine the popularity of a website.

Off page factors for ranking include links from within your site as well as ‘backlinks’ from external websites. Backlinks are required to rank well, and this is probably the most challenging aspect of search engine optimization.

PageRank, the algorithm developed at Stanford University by Larry Page (Google co-founder) counts hyperlinks as votes to determine the popularity (or ranking) of a site. Twenty years later, this algorithm is much more sophisticated, yet it still includes the notion of external links as being votes for ranking a websites popularity. For this reason, SEOs often talk about their “linking strategies” and some consider this to be their protected intellectual property not to be divulged except under threat of death. 

Search engines don’t know what your page looks like but your visitors do care, and the major search engines are now tracking how long a user stays on the page. The search engine is also recording whether the visitor return to the search results to find another page, which would suggest that your site did not provide the value they were seeking. For this reason, you should strive to make your site clean, useful and engaging, as this will benefit your rankings. To help analyze how your site compares, Google Analytics can be a useful tool to gather information on session time and dozens of other relevant data points. 

To win at SEO, you must be continuously acquiring backlinks, or your rankings will stagnate, or drop. But again, remember, we want everything we do to appear as natural as possible. Optimally, you’ll place a few links a day, with a steady increase in the total number.

Options for obtaining links:

1- Link exchange is where you request links from other sites that are topically relevant where you swap links to pass power between both websites.

2- Blog commenting is a good way to place links on high authority websites. The key is to keep your comment relevant to the blog post and don’t be too promotional. Make a value added statement with a link to a reinforcing blog post on your site. You’ll be surprised at the power that is passed from the referring site to yours with a simple blog post comment.

3- Directory placements are another way to get backlinks. Every area will have a local business directory, and every industry has websites dedicated to promoting members of the industry or ecosystem. In many cases, these sites are free to register with, and they can represent a powerful “push” to your site.

4- Press releases. The value of a press release has been diminished by the Internet, since PR is no longer an “event” but rather with every blog post, directory comment, social share, etc. PR is occurring. However, when you issue a press release via PRWeb or PR News Wire, it can get picked up by dozens or hundreds of websites who re-post your release, whereby giving you an instant boost.

5- Guest blogging can be an excellent way to improve your credibility as not only will the authority of your author name be improved, but the website will benefit too. High profile blogs are hungry for content and many welcome outside contributors. Business Insider is an excellent place to start, as is Inc. or Huffington Post.

6- Third party article distribution services such as quuu.co can be an excellent way to promote your blog posts and get links on hundreds of other websites.

7- Paid placement on high authority sites is another option that should not be overlooked. Konker.io is an excellent avenue for finding link hosting sellers.

Tips regarding article distribution. Articles should be of high quality, readable, and provide helpful information to prospective customers. Don’t start a link scheme that will give you 500 in a single day, then zero for the next month as this will do more harm than good.

Caveats about links. Links from within your site should be text links, with the keyword in the link. For example, a body lotions site could use the term ‘body lotions’ in all the links to their essential lotions page. Off-site links should use keywords in text links, but not always the same words. Mix it up, about 30% of your links should just include the web page address which will help your backlinks appear naturally created.

A final note on backlinks, all pages are not weighted equally. The older and more relevant the page or website, the more weight that link will garner. If your site is selling home decor products, links from an interior design website will be more beneficial than those from a health and wellness site. Make sure all referring domains that connect to your site are topically relevant.

Let’s discuss the other 20% of factors for ranking and that is URL naming convention. Web pages with the keywords in the domain or URL, be it the homepage or any other page on the site, will rank better. If you’re just starting a site, getting your primary keywords in the URL is useful. Though not a requirement for ranking, if possible, obtaining an exact match domain (EMD) can give you a quick start to a higher ranking for your biggest keyword. Here is where working with an expert internet optimization search marketing company can save you much time, energy and wasted resources.

Unfortunately, however, there are few niches left where the major keyword is not already registered. Getting a major keyword in the domain is nice, but you should know that it can cause issues with your on-page SEO since it will be easy to get overoptimized by using the keyword too frequently.

For this reason, some SEO experts suggest NOT using an EMD. The key to remember is that it appears more “natural” to Google if the file does not have only keywords in it, such as the title and meta tags. If you already have pages without keywords, you could create new ones and use a 301 redirect from the old pages to maintain any ranking status that the original pages had. Do a little research to get this right. Search engine ranking criteria change regularly, and some engines are quicker to appreciate your optimization efforts than others.

SEO Rule #1 – be patient. It can take months to see results of search engine optimization. Don’t think you made a mistake just because nothing happened the first time a spider visited your new page. Keep working on your accumulation of backlinks, and resist the temptation for a “quick fix” and you will be ranking in no time.

Website visitors are only one part of the equation.

A well-designed site, product mix, and pricing, with a clear call to action and value proposition, are all essential for business success. SEO and Internet marketing are critically important activities for all businesses, especially local, but SEO alone will not determine your success. The construction of your website is the skeletal structure that SEO must reside on, but without a strong skeleton, the lead engine of a website plus SEO will not be as powerful as we wish it to be.

Some local business owners of service companies don’t know how many leads their website is generating. Tragically, many business owners look at their website as an expense instead of a revenue source. A small business website is an asset, and a good website works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. But one of the most challenging questions is where to start if your website isn’t working for you. Consider the following elements as important pieces of your Google domination strategy.

1. Traffic. How many ways are you driving traffic to your website? Are you relying on a single “killer” method? Traffic to a website is about balance and tracking. When you have a balance of sources, like PPC, SEO, and even print media you won’t get stuck relying on a single source. Track each source to minimize your costs and maximize your profits.

2. Conversion. What methods are you using to convert traffic to leads? Do you offer people an easy way to start a relationship with you? Do you offer multiple ways for people to contact you? In less than 10 seconds ask yourself is it easy for people to decide what action to take? To improve may mean a new landing page, or it may be that your messages are confusing and need to be simplified. Often, less is more. You don’t need to tell me everything about your company or product, just give me the one thing that will cause me to “want more.” Then make it easy to take action on wanting more. SEO will increase your traffic, but only you can convert it.

3. Follow-up. Not everyone will be ready to buy when they visit your website. For this reason, you should have a newsletter form where those who may not be willing to buy, but would appreciate receiving updates or relevant information, can do so. A converting small business website should include a mechanism for tracking who came to your site so you can stay in touch. Just be sure you aren’t spamming your visitors, add value, and they will respond, perhaps by calling you first before making a buying decision.

Improving your website is a process. There isn’t a silver bullet, but with proper planning and the help of a trained search engine optimization specialist and web developer, your website can become a powerful profit booster.

4 Must-Have Traits in Every Person You Hire

Most leaders I’ve met want to build a high-performance organization. Instinctively, they know that this requires great people. But few of them have ever taken the time to define exactly what they are looking for when it comes to the ideal candidate.

Good leaders begin the recruiting process with a written job description. This generally includes the required educational experience and technical skills. But great leaders do more than this. They take a step back and look at the baseline qualities of the candidate.

They ask questions like—

What kind of employees are we trying to attract?

What kind of people will get the results we want and others expect?

What kind of people do we want to surround ourselves with?

What kind of people will contribute to the culture we are trying to build?

Warm bodies are obviously not enough. Better-than-average won’t get you there either. Even “really good people” are insufficient. You need higher standards if you are going to achieve your mission.

As I have thought about this, I have reduced these high standards to a sort of formula: H3S.

I want to fill my company with people who are humble, honest, hungry, and smart. The “h” in the word “high” represents the first three attributes. The “s” in the word “standards” represents the last attribute. All are equally important, but let me expound on each of them separately.

For simplicity sake, I’m going to use the masculine pronoun below, but it should be understood that the ideal candidate may, of course, be either a man or a woman. Gender is irrelevant.

Humble

Humble people have a good sense of himself. They don’t think more highly of themselves than they should (pride), nor lower than they ought (poor self-esteem). They are sober-minded, having a realistic grip on their strengths and weaknesses.

They do not exhibit self-ambition. They might be ambitious for the cause, company, or team, but they’re not ambitious for themselves. They aren’t overly concerned about their title, status, or position relative to others.

Humble people assume the posture of a learner and don’t pretend to know more than they do. It never crosses their mind that they may be the smartest person in the room.

They respect other points of view and asks questions to make sure that they understand an idea before criticizing it. They make other people feel smart and competent.

They are others-centered, no matter who the other person is. They acknowledge “the little people,” those that are easily overlooked by everyone else. They are valued and treated as peers.

Whenever I hire an executive, I always like to take him or her to dinner. I am always interested to see how they treat the host, the waiters, and even the busboys. Will they be curt? Demanding or brusque? Does they treat the people who serve them with dignity? Do they even notice them? Are they appreciative?

I am always leery of people who suck-up to those they want something from and disrespect everyone else. There’s no explaining it away. This is a character flaw. I have no patience for it, and I don’t want someone like that working in my organization.

Humble people are open to correction and not defensive. They are quick to admit mistakes and apologize. They know how to say, “I am sorry. What I did was wrong. Will you please forgive me?” Everyone makes mistakes. The truly humble try to make it right. Usually, they have had plenty of practice.

They are conscious of the contributions others have made to their life, career, and achievement. They are quick to give credit and express sincere gratitude. Conversely, when others compliment them, they offer a simple thank-you, without making a big fuss about it.

Finally, they do not consider certain jobs to be beneath them. They see what needs to be done, pitch in, and are just happy to be part of the team.

Honest

As Dr. Stephen R. Covey points out in The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People:

Honesty is telling the truth—in other words, conforming our words to reality. Integrity is conforming reality to our words—in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations. This requires an integrated character, a oneness, primarily with self but also with life. (195–196)

When I use the term honesty, I am referring to both honesty and integrity.

At the most basic level, honest people not lie, exaggerate, or misrepresent the facts. Spin control is a foreign concept. So is bragging. If anything, they are given to understatement, especially about their own accomplishments.

They do not withhold negative information but give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. They have the courage to face reality head on and make their words conform to it. They would never ask someone else to lie on their behalf or cover for them.

They are also honest in giving others feedback. They are able to be direct without being hurtful. They don’t say anything about those who are absent that they wouldn’t say if they were present. They avoid drama.

Finally, honest people keep their commitments, even when it is difficult, expensive, or inconvenient. If they said they’d do it, they do. You can take it to the bank.

Early in my career, I was able to land the job as a marketing director at one of the larger publishing houses. The only problem was that I didn’t have any experience. None!

So my new boss put me on an informal 90-day probationary period. He said, “Look, I think you will do fine, but let’s agree to a 90-day trial run. If everything goes as planned, I will give you a raise equal to 10 percent of your annual salary. If not, we’ll shake hands and part company as friends.” I enthusiastically agreed, rolled up my sleeves, and got to work.

Knowing that this was an enormous opportunity, I read everything I could on marketing. I worked hard. I got to the office early and left late. I was determined to prove to my boss that he had made the right decision.

At the end of the 90-day period, I was actually looking forward to my review. I knew I had exceeded his expectations. I was confident I would get the raise.

My boss called me into his office. After the usual pleasantries, he said, “Mike, you have done an outstanding job. You have exceeded my expectations in every way. I am very proud of you.”

“But I have one problem,” he continued. “Last week, our parent company instituted a salary and wage freeze. They have refused to consider any exceptions.”

My heart sank. Though I tried to appear professional, I’m sure that my disappointment was written all over my face.

Then he handed me an envelope and said the most amazing thing. “In that envelope is a check for the amount I promised you. It’s not from the company, but from me personally. I have discussed this with my wife, and we are both in agreement. You don’t have a choice about whether or not to accept it. So don’t even think about refusing. I made a commitment to you. You lived up to your end of the bargain—and then some—and I want to live up to mine.”

As a young businessman, that act made an enormous impression on me. Not only did it bond me to my boss—still one of my best friends—for life, it has provided concrete guidance in every tough decision I have ever made.

Hungry

A hungry person is someone with an appetite. Metaphorically speaking, their last meal is already a fading memory. They want to eat, and they want to eat now. All they can think about is food!

In other words, hungry people don’t dwell on past accomplishments. They are never satisfied. They’re always reaching for more—setting higher goals. They are driven to exceed whatever expectations have been imposed upon them. This is just a part of their make-up.

They are intellectually curious. They read constantly—news sources, magazines, and books. Lots of books. They love learning new things and sharing that learning with others.

Hungry people don’t get stuck in a rut. They’re open to new ideas and new ways of solving old problems. That means they’re always looking for the best solution and embrace change if it will take them—or the company—to a new level.

They come to meetings prepared, having completed their homework. In the meeting, they listen actively, asking lots of questions and taking notes. Afterward, they follow up. They complete assignments on time without someone having to prod them. They are relentless when it comes to execution.

In short, hungry people full out, holding nothing back. More than anything, they want to win and are willing to pay the price to do so.

Smart

Smart people usually score high on traditional IQ tests. But not always. You have to be careful. Some people are book-smart but street-stupid. I’d like to have both. But if forced to choose, I’ll take the street-smart candidate.

Smart people are a quick study. They can connect the dots without a lot of help. They have a natural ability to think laterally, that is, across disciplines. They can apply learning from one field or category to another.

They’re comfortable using metaphors and analogies. They know how to make complex subjects simple without confusing themselves and everyone else in the process.

I was a philosophy major. Some of the books I had to read were really difficult. I remember reading, re-reading, and then re-re-reading some particularly tough passages. Then it dawned on me. If this guy is so smart, why can’t he explain this in a way that is easy to follow? I concluded it was a case of  “the emperor having no clothes.”

In my experience, confusion often masquerades as complexity. Listening to an explanation, you might be tempted to think that you’re just not smart enough to understand the issue. In reality, the presenter may not understand it well enough to make it simple. I want people working for me who are smart enough to work through the complexity in order to arrive at a simple explanation.

Smart people also ask thoughtful questions. They see connections between topics that others miss. They are aware of nuances. And they have diverse interests, which come in handy when trying to understand new information.

They are also able to focus mentally, for long periods of time if necessary. They don’t give up quickly. They keep pressing until they gain clarity or insight. They are a creative problem solvers.

Finally, smart people have cognitive intelligence. That’s mostly what I have covered here. But that alone is not sufficient. In my opinion, a successful candidate also needs emotional, relational, and even spiritual intelligence to succeed.

Summary

It’s hard to find the buried treasure unless you have a map. It’s difficult to win a scavenger hunt unless you have a list. And it’s impossible to hire the right people unless you know exactly what you are looking for.

In my company, I want to hire people who are H3S: humble, honest, hungry, and smart. If I can do that consistently, I will build a great and enduring organization.

By the way, I have also developed a list of 25 questions to ask candidates. These questions help you discern whether or not he or she is the ideal candidate. You will find them, if you know what to look for.
