    Thanks, although weblord is not the domain Im referring to in this thread. I was looking at another domain, in order to host personal pages but open to everyone. I understand the general thoughts are .com all the way on something like this, but at the same time, .me I think can maybe bring...

    I have a site Im looking to launch that offers personal pages to people. The domain I wanted to use is a .com but as usual is a holding page with an over the top price tag.. I bought the .me version but am still in 2 minds over using it. On the one hand, it gives me the domain I wanted...

    Just wandering what the general thoughts were on domain extensions... I know its site content, SEO, promotion etc etc etc that make the site work or not, but there's also some measure of people remembering the name extension! .com still is the big one, then there's regional, .co has been...

    Thompson Directory!

    Just got off the phone with a sales rep from Thompson Directory and thought it worth posting here as it left me laughing at the front of their sales team! I found a local print directory the other day for my area and thought I would look into the 'free listing' they offer, just in case...

    Is paid for backlinks worth it?

    I never said they were not at all relevant, I said not 'very' or not 'as' relevant as people still think they are. Google have said this themselves! whats the site you say is ranked number one and under what search terms? These are also very key to getting high rankings. Something else...

    Is paid for backlinks worth it?

    I think for this thread though, the short answer to the original post would be to focus on quality interactive content over paying for back links. Real quality links that are real active adverts are different, but bulk back-link buying is dead in the water...

    Is paid for backlinks worth it?

    No, Im saying that they are not anywhere near as important to the latest adjustments on googles algorithms for site indexing as they used to be. This along with keywords also. backlinks and keywords have become the 2 main ways that people have been 'cheating' the crawlers and so have been...

    Is paid for backlinks worth it?

    Back links are no longer very relevant to Google when crawling your website. Paying for a site to give you loads of backlinks just for SEO is a waste of money. However, if those backlinks show as real advert-links to your site and people are actually clicking through them then they are...

    video on a website and SEO

    No difference really for SEO. Although if you have lots of videos uploaded to your site instead of embedded from an external provider, and your sites video coding is slow, it will add to the 'weight' of your site which could see google penalise your page ranking as they like fast loading sites...

    Web Creation UK - anyone use them?

    Their prices are not as dirt cheap as some are saying. 395 for example only buys you a single page website!!! 545 for up to 4 pages... all their sites Ive just looked at are Wordpress driven. They dont custom build any of them, just plug in a template and put the posts in the right...
