    Buying a Domain name

    Not really. 123-reg are the most popular, but they're all similar. Just make sure you choose one with a good reputation. Stay away from free domain offers with hosting etc. Just buy it yourself and look after it.

    One site, several domains and SEO

    All I'm pointing out is page rank for sub domains are separate from the root domain. When it comes to SEO, Google treats them as "different websites". The poster has mentioned splitting the domains and asking if it will effect his SEO. The answer is yes, as he'll have triple the marketing to...

    One site, several domains and SEO

    No need for the rant. It's an SEO thread - my answer is based on seo and marketing. Let's just leave it at that!

    One site, several domains and SEO

    If that was the case, then marketing and link building to domain.com would automatically flow all pr to sub.domain.com - which it doesn't. Hence Google treats sub domains on their own terms. I think you're getting confused with Google "knowing" that it's the same site/domain, and Google domain...

    One site, several domains and SEO

    It's still ranking them as seperate sites. About.com is extremely popular with good age and pr, so if you're starting off, subdomains is going to make your job a lot harder.

    2 second google search http://www.out-law.com/page-5537 It does talk about the reliability, but as mentioned you can tell a spoof.

    I have an uncle who's an I.T layer, he deals with this all the time and e-mails ARE legally binding. Without a doubt. Spoofing is easy to spot.

    Networking in Scotland

    I used to do a lot of Networking when I lived in Wales. Things like BNI and some local events. It was great for getting to know people. Will have to get more involved around the Glasgow area.

    We'll find out. If there's no contract and she has exchanged money for the web design services then she'll have the upper hand legally. If she also has backups of e-mail conversations, this will help too. E-mails are legally binding.

    Anyone here from Aberdeenshire, Moray or Highlands?

    I lived in Elgin for about 7 years, but now down Glasgow way. My family still live in Elgin and I still do lots of work for companies up there (I'm up visiting all the time anyway).

    I've used cheap, fair and expensive copywriters. Right now I use a fair prices one as the quality is decent without breaking the bank. I've tried a cheap Indian copywriter, but this was terrible broken english. I also used a couple of expensive ones. One ended up being the same quality as what...

    How to get firstpage in google?

    It depends on the keyword. Longtails are usually easier, but a good competitive keyword can take years or thousands of pounds. If you've got a brand new domain with 0 age and PR, then you'd be looking at around 3-6 months for some long tails and a "long time" for high competitive.

    SEO for Newbies

    The thing with SEO is there's so many different levels and costs. For a garage in Warrington you'd want to concentrate on the site itself making sure you have good content/keywords and some offsite social and link building (from good sources). I know there's people around selling SEO dirt...
