One tip I'd add is to do all name searches on InterNIC (http://www.internic.net/whois.html) itself. I've lost several good names by searching the big, commercial resellers like GoDaddy. Several times after brainstorming and searching GoDaddy to find an open name, I returned a few days later to buy it only to discover a poacher has already taken it. This is called "front running" and has become common practice. Great article, totally agree on the tips.

I am doing some testing on the product name being part of the URL or not. Seems like if it is there it will rank faster but there are sites without that are ranked 1, 2 and 3. I am finding that .info and the others are ranking high probably because of backlinking. It is a puzzle and no one piece can be ignored. Bill It all depends on the kind of traffic you want.

There are a lot of good bloggers out there and I guess each person has their own criteria for what makes a good blogger. Bill Appreciate the comment.

The best browser to use if you are an SEO person is FireFox. Bill Not familiar with that browser and can’t take time to worry about it, sorry.
