Why Distribute Articles?
One of the first things I did when I started this site was to write articles that I thought would be of interest to other site owners in hopes that they would post them on their site with a link back to me. Here are some of them. I began to notice that they helped […]
Interesting News
Here’s a report that is a bit off topic, but very interesting. It seems that Florida is the sixth state to partner with Google to let them index their databases to make searching for information easier and more readily available.

Good Search For Your Site Is Essential
One of the best things that you can do for your site is to have a good site search that can be accessed from every page. According to the results of a November survey by Zoomerang that I found on the DMNews site, 73% of respondents said they would leave an e-commerce site within one […]
How Long To Register Your Domain Name
