Ha ha ha. I don’t think the NACHI staff would be up for that. Plus, how would you possibly be able to pay attention to all the important things I was saying?

For those looking to get their first website, or, to expand their web presence, how about some info on the facts and myths of domain names? I.e… I am looking at purchasing a couple additional domain names. Now, this may seem like a very basic question, but I can’t find a straight answer to it. Is it necessary to acquire the plural of a domain name? Example… www.xxxinspection.com and www.xxxinspections.com ???
As always, I appreciate all of your help with my computer and SEO needs !!!

Yeah I figured I’d go over naming your domain. Getting both sites will only help you if you have 2 different sites on each or you want to keep competition from getting the other one. It has no SEO value if you only have one site. Search engines also ignore plural vs singular.

Hi Dom, looking forward to seeing/hearing you.
Can you address “what strategies to take” if there are “many errors”Websitegrader.com http://www.websitegrader.com/ ),Iwebtools.com http://iwebtools.com/ ), andvalidator.w3.org http://validator.w3.org/ ) ?

Ya Fix them! That’s probably a little broad of a question to address. But pointing out to make sure that the sites pass validation is a good issue. Validation is someone you really just have to sit down with and slowly work through the error you receive.

It’s called Link Farming and actually hurts your ranking more than helps it.
Even asking would probably ensure that I get hit in the head with a coconut rather than catching it this time.
