Can I tap into everyone's creativity for a meme?
-
About a week ago there was an awesome YouMoz post entitled How To Use Memes to Build EASY Backlinks & Traffic. I was so inspired by this post to come up with something awesome. I have been thinking long and hard about it ever since then, even browsing meme sites, and I'm coming up with NOTHING. Our company, stadriemblems.com designs and supplies custom embroidered patches for uniforms, events, and things of that nature.
I know that I know the niche the best, but I'm not good at funny. So maybe someone who's good at funny can come up with something without having to know all the ins and outs of the niche.
I'd so greatly appreciate some suggestions. I'll give everyone who tries a thumps-up, even if it's not good!

I know this isn't exactly what you're saying, but you indirectly gave me a good idea. I could find a good image and hold a contest to have our customers come up with a caption.

When you say "meme" I think of something organic such as a funny or slightly odd photo or image, which serves as a canvas upon which others paint their creativity. There's no telling how one bad cartoon became "Pin ALL the Things!" or pic of a guy with his hat turned to the side became "Scumbag Steve" or an insane wolf became this wild and crazy reused advice image, or socially awkward penguin.
Reading what you're describing, it looks more like you're interested in a tag line, or a campaign concept, or am I misreading?
If you want a funny organic image, I'd try and get rights to an image of a girl scout or boy scout with a hundred badges, or some nerdy fellow in a weird location with a hundred unrelated patches on his jacket, maybe foursquare badges. Then let the crowd come up with why it's funny.

It's much better than anything I came up with! I could actually use both on them, since one is from the standpoint of someone who needs them and one is from the opposite stand-point.That helps. Thanks!
It's something that will work great our our site. I'm looking for something for that and then something to spread all over the Internet, so I'm half way there!

Can a rel author tag point to a Google+ business page
I’m trying to get my blog posts to show with rich snippets but they are a collaborative effort from our staff and as such are posted under our business name. We do have some guest bloggers who write under their own name and we use the author tags to show this. Is there a similar way to do this with a business?

2,500 Word blog post? What's your advice?
Most of my blog posts end up being 400-600 words, sometimes more, sometimes less. I have written one that is 2,500 words this time. If it were you, would you make one huge post, or split it into two or three? Or would you say it wholly depends on my site and the type of content? As far as link bait goes, one page is better . . . I guess. But would anyone ever read a 2,500 word blog post, even it it's about a subject he/she is interested in? Additionally, what's better for SEO? Just wants some second opinions. Thanks!
