Leverage, Good or Bad we use the Word
Leverage = http://www.mysharedpage.com/leverage
I have a roadblock in my mind for the word Leverage!
I see it in the title of an article, as a verb used to "leverage something" and my thoughts become diverted.
I can no longer focus on what is being "leveraged" but on what are they attempting to do and how are they going to do it?
For example, I was happily reading
along, immerced in an article about different sources of website traffic
including using a Social Site... eg> a Facebook Fan page to extend
the reach of and create some traffic for your blog.
Instead of even giving as much
information as I did in the above sentence, the author just stated
leverage your blog with Facebook. What?????
So what am I supposed to do? Well,
if I grab a great big stick, prop it on a big rock and insert the other
end under my blog...can I use this lever to move my site up in Search
Engine Results? Put it high enough on the hill to be seen?
Leverage got listed in 1957 but the first known use of the word was in 1830 and it still retains two major meanings.
On the one hand, since I grew upon a
rural farm I am very familiar with the mechanical lever, from which I'm
sure that today's modern leverage was born.
One major use of it is as a noun meaning:
What is Leverage
Leverage: Influence or Power to Achieve a Desired Result.
