Northside Casino, With or Without Traffic Problems
In Pittsburgh’s weekly City Paper there was an article about the Casino and Traffic problems. It seems that a lot of the local companies on the North Side, including the Steelers and the Pirates are not happy with the added traffic the Casino will bring. Here is a snippet from the article.
“Most of those who testified were lawyers for the various parties involved and traffic planners hired by the sports teams. But the Steelers and Pirates have already voiced disappointment with the process so far. Hired lawyers and traffic planners argued that the casino had yet to submit a full traffic-impact plan, which they contended was essential. And they groused that speakers were given only three minutes to speak — not enough time, they complained, to express the full scope of their concerns.” –PCP
I do not support the Casino coming to Pittsburgh. I think it’s a bad move and will just make things worse. But this argument about traffic pattern is a little off base. If you get to the end of the article, there is a comment by a reader that makes a pretty good point. Here is a portion of the comment.
ALL Steeler games and ALL Pirate games create huge problems, not only on the North Side but also in Downtown Pittsburgh. Bridges are closed, traffic is re-routed and delays are constant. Where are the sports teams’ concern for traffic congestion here? – poropatichb
That’s a good question. To my fellow haters of the Casino, you’re going to have to find a better argument then traffic to stop this thing, but thanks for trying.

Good ideas, thanks. That was one thing I worried about doing wrong. Being too aggressive or passive. I’ll use the advice and gain more experience under my belt.

Well I observe that your statement is rather incisive as it comes with an assorted range of accurate information. In Any Event, was overcurious whether you would love to interchange links with my web portal, as I am searching to generate more web links to further broaden and make headway for my web portal. I do not mind you pointing my web links at the home page, just getting this web links on this particular web page is more than enough. Moreover, please reach me at my site if you are interested in exchanging links with me, I would really like that. Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you as soon as possible!

There is a daunting task ahead of search engine professionals. They should not only divert the traffic towards the web portal but also convert mere visitors in to serious customers. How do you convert visitors into your true customers? Besides having quality content in your portal to attract visitors you should also offer them some thing unique so that they stay back and not bounce back from there. Post something unique in your portal so that the visitor finds you a credible source and get converted into a customer.
