How to apply for a rifle and shotgun permit from the New York Police Department (NYPD)

Insights from this analysis:

  • There are definitely things I can do to optimize SEO keywords on this site to bring visitors in from Google.
  • Forgive the use of big fonts, redundant text, and unnecessary links – I’m optimizing my keywords in this post.  In case you didn’t know, that is why most websites are so irritating, poorly designed, and badly written – they want more visitors.
  • It seems like searches for my full name are leading some people to this site.  I don’t mention my name anywhere, and this site doesn’t show up in my own Google searches for my name…. what’s going on here?
  • Thank you Handy for all the traffic – you’re a popular guy.
  • Clearly there is a dearth of information online about how to apply for a rifle and shotgun permit from the NYPD.  I’m going to see how much of that traffic I can grab by optimising further for those keywords, so forgive me for redundant content.
  • But don’t forget to check out my post: Acquiring a Gun, Part I (How to Apply for a New York City Rifle & Shotgun Permit from the NYPD), which goes into great detail on how to call the NYPD to get information on how to call the NYPD.  Part II is coming.

Ramen Noodles:  Rai Rai Ken, Setagaya, Menkui Tei, Bibim Bar

  • There is a significant number of people looking for a good ramen.
  • Rai Rai Ken is really not very good ramen.
  • Bibim Bar is ok for a quiet Korean meal.

Russian Baths – Banya – Sauna

  • There is room for a competitive site with information about banya (Russian baths) locations and reviews.
  • BRC Sauna amd Spa (the New Jersey Banya), Mermaid Spa, and the Wall Street Banya (i.e. Spa 88) all feature strongly in the search terms that have led people here.
  • However, the search terms used to find Russian baths are not standard, probably because the word banya is not familiar to many people, and there is no good translation, although sauna is the closest.
  • Have 42 people really searched for “Paul Glimcher what kind of person is he”?
