Tiki God
What is sn Asherah pole?
This may sound silly, but what is this pole that is mentioned in the OT quite a bit? I think it is dedicated to the god of sex, Asherah, so would it have been like a dancer pole?? Or would it have been like a tiki god-like statue?
Any help is appreciated- thanks!!!

"Asheroth" redirects here. Not to be confused with Ashteroth.
An Asherah pole is a sacred tree or pole that stood near Canaanite religious locations to honor the Ugaritic mother-goddess Asherah.[1] The relation of the literary references to an asherah and archaeological finds of Judaean pillar-figurines has engendered a literature of debate.[2]
The asherim were also cult objects related to the worship of the Hebrew Goddess Asherah, the consort of Yahweh. The insertion of "pole" begs the question by setting up unwarranted expectations for such a wooden object: "we are never told exactly what it was", observes John Day.[3] The role of the Asherah reflected in the texts was likely rewritten and reinterpreted by the followers of Ezra, upon the return of the Jews from captivity and the writing of the Priestly text.[4] Though there was certainly a movement against goddess-worship at the Jerusalem Temple in the time of king Josiah, it did not long survive his reign, as the following four kings "did what was evil in the eyes of the Lord" (2 Kings 23:32, 37; 24:9, 19). Further exhortations came from Jeremiah.

Wisconsin Search engine marketing Explained – Part 1
With over 50 Billion searches each year in the U.S. alone, Search engine marketing is easily the 1,000 lb Gorilla online, far out-pacing any other form of Internet Marketing.
Now that over 80% of Americans have Internet access both at home and at work, recent research clearly shows that the Internet has changed into a primary source of information for those seeking to purchase products or services. With so much to gain (or lose), it’s wise to fully understand how search engines function with a view toward tapping into this phenomenal form of marketing to drive brand awareness, customers and of course, revenue.
With regards to this discussion, we will focus on “Natural” or free listings; we”ll be discussing Ppc marketing in another article.
Unlike Pay-per-click listings where advertisers pay for placement, “Natural” or “Organic” listings are based entirely upon relevancy. The websites shown on page one of a SERP are considered by Google to be the most relevant sites for the keyword or keyphrase typed in by the user. To take full advantage of Seo we must understand how Google (and other search engines) determine relevance.
Search engine marketing…It’s All About Relevance
There are literally dozens of criteria search engines use to determine relevance. Key indicators are page titles, domain names, keyword density and the number of links pointing to a website just for starters.
With millions of websites and billions of webpages on the web today it’s simply not possible for search engine companies to use people-power to review pages and determine their relevancy. Therefore, they automate the process by using intelligence software to “crawl” your website and collect information which is then used by a ranking algorithm to deteremine relevance.
Search engine optimization is about insuring your website is highly relevant for your targeted terms. This is a vital distinction to make. Since the entire process is driven by software, you won’t get points for having a “pretty” website. Search engines don’t have a preference for attractive websites, they don’t really care that you have great navigation and superb animation. They care only about gathering cold, hard data to determine what your website is about and how it stacks up against other sites of the same topic.
If you think about it, it seems sensible. The aim of search engines is to return the perfect results based on the search term the user types in. This is why Google dominates online.. They do it better than everyone else.
