The Forgotten Contributions of Central Illinois to the Bicycle Boom of the 18...Chris Sweet
Presentation for the 2015 International Cycling History Confrence, Entraigues, France.
By the end of the 19th century, the state of Illinois was home to more than 60 bicycle manufacturers whose output accounted for an impressive 28% of the national total. Naturally, much of the bicycle industry was located in and around Chicago. Long forgotten, is the fact that Central Illinois also had a vibrant and productive bicycle industry. At the time, Peoria, Illinois (which is located in the central part of the state) was the second largest city in Illinois and home to a number of bicycle manufacturers including: Ide, Rouse and Hazard, Patee, Luthy, and Peoria Rubber and Manufacturing. Peoria-made “high art” bicycles were even exported to France and other European markets to meet overseas demand. Charles Duryea, who would go on to invent one of the first automobiles, began his career manufacturing bicycles in Peoria. Even Central Illinois-based agricultural manufacturing giant, John Deere, tried its' hand at manufacturing bicycles during the height of the boom.
In addition to manufacturing, Peoria was also an important stop on the national bicycle racing circuit. During the 1890's, races on Peoria’s Lakeview track attracted international competition. Many world records -on both ordinaries and safeties- were set in Peoria. During the 1890 Peoria tournament, the “unbeatable” Willie Windle lost twice to newcomer August Zimmerman. Major Taylor, who grew up in neighboring Indiana, began his early racing career in Peoria. In his autobiography, Taylor would later recall, “Peoria was the Mecca of bicycle racing in those days. On its historical track all the fastest riders in the World struggled for fame and glory.”
This presentation will discuss the historical significance of Central Illinois bicycle manufacturing and bicycle racing during the 1890's. This analysis will include social, cultural, and economic impacts of the bicycle both within the state and across the nation.

Skateboarding involves riding and performing tricks on a skateboard. It originated in the 1940s-50s as surfers looked for something to do when waves were flat. Early skateboards were wooden boxes or boards with roller skate wheels. In the 1970s, new polyurethane wheels improved traction and performance, fueling skateboarding's popularity rise. By the 1990s, street skateboarding dominated as tricks focused on rails, stairs, and other urban terrain. Skateboarding continues to evolve and remains a popular recreational activity and sport for both youth and adults.

Skateboarding involves riding and performing tricks on a skateboard. It originated in southern California in the late 1940s as surfers looked for something to do when waves were flat. Early skateboards were made from wooden boxes and roller skate wheels. In the 1970s, urethane wheels were developed, improving traction and performance and leading to a rise in skateboarding's popularity. New tricks were invented, including the ollie, and vert (vertical) skating grew in popularity. Through the 1980s, street skating became more popular as most people could not access vert ramps. Street skating led to the evolution of smaller, harder-wheeled boards designed for street use.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.
