Ford Sakes or Ford Saeks?

Ford Sakes, Internet Marketing Speaker…

Everything you ever wanted to know about Ford Sakes.

Really though, my name is Saeks… not SAKES, but Google, Bing and Yahoo aren’t  smart enough to figure that out yet.

Ford Sakes spells his name Saeks

Ford Sakes spells his name Saeks

I’m writing this blog post to help the search engines and new prospects find me, Ford Sakes on the Internet. You see, since I preach that “keywords drive traffic” then unless I create a blog posting with the proper keyword density for “Ford Sakes” then I won’t be found in the rankings.

My name, while spelled F O R D   S A E K S, is commonly search for as FORD SAKES.

Other common mistakes in my name are:

  • Fred Sakes — Common… is having a name like Ford that odd?
  • Ford Sacks — glad I didn’t have grow up with that name
  • Fred Sacks — doesn’t sound that good to me.
  • Ford Saekes — perfect for those that are dyslexic and paid by the letter.
  • Ford Steaks — Right, like that will work.
  • and my favorite… Fred Sucks.  Really?  Who typed that into a database and thought that was correct?  At least Ford Sakes makes more sense since that’s how my hame is pronounced… Sakes… as in “For Heaven’s Sakes”

This is really just about my last name… because people search for it as Sakes.  I’ve heard all of the funny acronyms for my first name. Imagine what it was like growing up with a first name like Ford.  Sakes is the easy part.

And I even have my name “Ford Saeks” trademarked to prevent other people from stuffing their keyword descriptions with my name to generate traffic.  Seriously, I did. Hey, I’m a great Internet Marketer, but hardly a celebrity.

Who is Ford Sakes?

I’m a business growth expert, Internet Marketer and CEO of Prime Concepts Group.
