You've offered me some great advice and an offer I just cannot refuse...so yes, please count me in.

With regards to the domain name, I've done a lot of reading specifically about how Google search algorithm operates and what I have learned is that Google no longer looks at keywords in the domain name because of the numerous abuses. Instead, the search engine looks for keywords in the title and content of the page. Even metadata is no longer looked at because that too can be easily abused.

Thanks

My, my, my....you can either swim with the current and get where you want to go or fight the current and pretty much get tired going nowhere.

Yes Google has changed algorythms but trust me they still put weight on keyword domains, meta tags, and content keywords....when everything matches up magic happens.

We launched a site 3 weeks ago with the above matching up...we invited Google to index it...3 days later we were 1, 5, 6 for our 3 main keywords and as of today we have had 2,341 visitors with no further promotion.

Please pay attention to what Skip is telling you in his post.

Your thinking about the generic name is plausible but that really only works if you brand the name and that can take months if not years.

With hosting and domains as cheap as they are these days it is feasible to do the minisite. $4.95 a month at Hostgator and a cheap domain name and away you go. The hard part is finding the domain name...I was contemplating one last week and didn't act but went to register it this week and someone else had snagged it.

Okay enough about that.

Will add your web page to the queque....looks like Thursday next week right now unless we run into an overrun on projects already slated....also we are into a 4 day holiday weekend here.

Please send me an email as there may be questions regarding the design and we don't and shouldn't use the forum for that purpose. My email is cfordenXmnsi.net (replace the X with the @ sign)
