By Michael Dorausch, D.C. While I was preparing to leave for the office this afternoon I received a phone call from a chiropractor that is new to practicing in California. Dr. Glenn Larsen of Lifetime Health Chiropractic Center in Santa Barbara, California called me thanks to a referral from Dr. Anita Morgenstern in New York.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I received news today that the 2010 Dead Chiropractic Society California Jam in Orange County is a go-ahead. All I’ve received so far is a PDF flyer, but it looks like the best rock ‘n roll cover design for a chiropractic event I’ve ever seen. Great list of speakers too. This
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Taking a walk down history lane on what parts of the planetchiropractic.com website looked like 10 years ago. Amazing to think that we’ve been at it for more than a decade now, and today even our news archives feature a full 10 years of solid content that has been posted near

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Change is good. Were facing another summer here at the headquarters for Planet Chiropractic and Chiropractic Blogs, and while there is plenty of activities scheduled, there’s going to be some summertime fun taking place as well. I like taking time off to rest, relax and recharge like anybody, and living at
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The third leg of the 2009 Triple Crown is upon us, with the Belmont Stakes taking place on Saturday, in Elmont New York. When reporting on the May 16 Preakness Stakes I mentioned how growing up as a kid, my parents used to take us to Belmont Park, for weekend horse
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Many thank you’s to the folks at the official Los Angeles Marathon website for having Planet Chiropractic at the 2009 LA Marathon as part of event media coverage. Our coverage of the LA Marathon began last week, with news on preparations for the event, and concerns about potential heat in Los
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. If you have been reading Planet Chiropractic news the past few months you may be wondering what’s been going on with all the marathon related content. Actually, we’ve had marathon related content for about four years now, but there’s really been plenty of marathons taking place in the past few months.
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Planet Chiropractic added two chiropractic related domains yesterday, to a list of acquisitions made over the course of the past few months. The first was a chiropractic website for chiropractor Brandon Takahashi of Takahashi Chiropractic in West Los Angeles. I had built a chiropractic website for him back in 2001, which
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’ve been playing around with a Canon digital SLR camera I purchased last month for taking photographs around chiropractic offices. The plan is to begin using in-house photographs for article posts (like this spinal column seen in a recent classified ad news post) that are of better quality than we’ve shown
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. In last week’s chiropractic traffic report I mentioned that we’d be addressing a series of ways chiropractors can do a little bit more research on the chiropractic websites they are doing business with. When a chiropractic directory company calls your office or you get pitched at a chiropractic seminar, you should
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I receive e-mails several times a week from businesses and individuals seeking to post press releases and media releases to Planet Chiropractic news. In the more than 10 years that people have been e-mailing stuff our way, I’m surprised how few have discovered the difference between the right way and the
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. As annoying as it may seem (I’m sure it’s no fun for you guys to see these posts over and over again) when scammers try to take advantage of chiropractic classifieds users, actually enjoy the satisfaction I get when we trace them down. Were not even done with the investigation on
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Here’s the latest scammer sending e-mails to chiropractors that have chiropractic classified ads posted. The same e-mail was sent to about a dozen individuals that have products or equipment for sale. I’ve already been contacted by at least half a dozen different chiropractors that received the below e-mail at different times
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Just as I completed the Chiropractor 15683 post I had a request from someone seeking a chiropractor in the Henderson Nevada area. I conducted some online searches and laughed when I noticed the Chiropractors Nevada page appearing in the top results. Only two chiropractors were listed on the page but that
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Tips on finding local chiropractors that meet the qualities being sought by prospective patients. There were two notes on my desk with zip codes for chiropractors being sought in different parts the United States. One note read: Doris 92078 San Marcus and the other simply said Chiropractor 15683. It’s easy to

The 2009 Boston Marathon runs on Monday (420), April 20th, with some 25,000 plus people be taking to the streets, testing their will against Heartbreak Hill (mile 20ish), and racing to the finish line in historic Boston. It’s one of the few US marathons taking place on a Monday, instead of
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Now that Oprah and Ashton Kutcher are talking about Twitter, I guess more people are going to be increasingly getting in on the conversation. I wasn’t sure when I first started mentioning the microblogging service on Chiropractic Blogs so I did some searching through the archives. Looks like I first made
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’m at the Las Vegas Airport and while doing some searches related to chiropractic I noticed a few chiropractor offices in the San Francisco area advertising fees for service in ads campaigns. I found it interesting that not just one, but all three top ads were advertising rates. The offices are
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Here’s a great example of how miscommuinication involving the chiropractic classified ads system keeps ads from getting posted. More than a dozen advertisements per day are posted on Planet Chiropractic classifieds. That’s 12+ ads per day, 7 days a week, for the past 3,285+ days. Due to spam, 419 scams, fraud,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. The weekend of April 17 (through the 19th) is hot times for chiropractic events taking place nationwide. There’s 3 seminars I see taking place in Las Vegas and Atlanta that weekend, and they all look like great events to attend. First up is the 2009 Upper Cervical Evolution taking place at
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I came across a great advertisement listing of a Practice For Sale in Asheville NC yesterday. As I read through the ad (I’ll show it here) I was reminded about good use of granular terms but I caught a few addition things that could have been done. We’ll go over some
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I’m in Florida attending a continuing education conference. I don’t know much about the South Florida area and I’ve found myself doing quite a bit of searching while sitting inside the conference center. I published a post showing localized ppc chiropractic advertising for Florida and I’ve continued to check local content
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Last week when I posted Definitely Not the Yellow Pages I thought for sure I’d find dozens of previous articles I’d written regarding Yellow Pages and Advertising that I’d written over the past ten years. Much to my surprise, I didn’t locate many, but I did grab a screenshot of recent
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. I was looking at some xray photos today and I came across this AP Pelvic Lumbar Spine X-Ray. It was taken with an analog xray system and I took a photo of the film while it was up on a viewbox. Unlike the LMFAO Cervical Spine Xray post I don’t have
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. “Dr. Mike – there’s a sales rep on the phone, says they’re with the Yellow Pages.” is what I used to hear from my front desk manager frequently. The calls have decreased ( I no longer accept any calls from anyone claiming to work with any Yellow Pages company) but I
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Checking website stats is a funny thing. On a chiropractic blog you’d expect to see results for terms like chiropractic, chiropractor, and other things directly related to the field, but there’s so many seemingly unrelated words that bring visitors… to all websites. I like the process of discovering what those words
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. What’s a geek chiropractor to do on Friday night? Well, I came home from the office (a rocking week serving Los Angeles) and cleared an 8′ whiteboard in my home office, so I could set week ahead goals on it. I showered, weighed in (195), posted next 7 days of workouts,
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. It’s an odd thing, most of the chiropractors I know love what they do. They may not be crazy about every little detail but in general they are pretty darned happy with the choices they’ve made and the service they provide. I like that. Something to be said about individuals that
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. One of the things I like most about attending conferences is the opportunity to catch up with friends. Ppl can often find me in the lobbies chatting it up and snapping photos of chiropractors, CAs, chiropractic students, and whatever else catches my eye. While at DCS earlier this month I took

Unlike many other towns and city locations I’ve addressed in the past, this Colorado city isn’t being confused with cities in other states. Oddly though, I had an e-mail from a chiropractor doing a practice
By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Why would 3 chiropractors travel from places like Seattle, Illinois, and Ontario Canada to Orange County California? Because SoCal Rocks! Seriously, it’s impressive to see chiropractors travelling such long distances to attend events like the 2009 DCS Orange County event that took place last week at the Performing Arts Center. Big
