As I am primarily in the business of creating information products it seems .info domains would be an ideal way to publish them. Are .info domains effective as far as 'keywords' ?

Well if you call one in 3 people on the planet, or 2.1 billion people limiting.

That comment made absolutely no sence at all ...

I finally decided to do something with a domain I have had for a while but wasnt sure what to do with. www.accesschristianity.com I have set it up as a 'Christian Business networking site' with a business directory, forum and community style messaging/profiling addon. I also intend to post up...

eg. any recommendations on add size/layouts that seem to work better than others. Text only, text and images, images only ?

Ive just started 'add sense' advertising on a number of my sites, any tips/advice appreciated.

The template Ive used for www.ezyebusiness.com is one I use for basic sites. Its one I modified and was origonally a Rocket Theme called Solarsentinel.

Today I registered iracingaustralia.com Does iracing.com have any legal right to this ? There is no Australian Trademark on ATMOSS, but perhaps there is an international one ?

Ah, ok. Ive also heard of people sabotaging sites by sending heaps of dodgy links and then Google bans them.

Clicking you competitors paying links to hurt them ? How does making them money hurt them ? :confused: This site seems to be a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Black Hat. http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/

Ive heard of it done before. A few years back a school kid was telling me how he had set up a program to hit these add links. He used a list of freely available IP's to ping from. Ive also heard how easy it it to ping websites to make it look like there is lots of traffic.

I guess Ive got a couple of runs on the board aswell + 11 years in the industry including 7 as a teacher on the subject. A designer who focuses on the bottom line ain't a true designer ... were just not wired that way :p I guess thats why designers aren't among the rich and famous. But...

lol at FirstPageResults ... Based on your summation of 'being successful' in web design, I would say you are a more management fucussed individual. Its all that left brained right brained stuff ... designers, who are right brained, think very differently to 'managers' who are generally left...

As a general rule of thumb, for a freelancer with low overheads, $50 an hour is reasonable for mainstream web design/development. And generally I add a 30% contingency allowance. Clients who rely heavily on price point are generally a pain in the ass. The most important thing to clients who...

Effective user centered design often takes quite a bit planning and research that is generally not feisable for your average small business website. There are a number of pedagogical factors to consider when undertaking such work. Main stream 'commercial web design' generally isnt that...

Yes, the sites in my sig probably are not the best examples of a effective user experience. Although not the worst either. Where do you see a problem ? Aptitudemedia.com is my business site, but not really a site, more of a place holder. I don't need to advertise my services as all my work...

To be honest, neither am I. Thats pretty much why im not a main stream web developer. I do the odd business website, usually on a budget, so they are not always my best examples. Web developers that think they can do it all are kidding themselves. As you said SEO is often a secondary...

im not real sure on the history of 'craigslist' but I suspect it has been around for quite some time. And its design comes from a time when there were restrictions on bandwidth, and keeping it plain and simple was the norm. If someone were to try and start 'craigslist' today with that...

yes, your dead right there, it is a very delicate balancing act ... You need quality design and great content, but not too much. And it needs to be written in such a way that interest is grabbed quickly, eg Front loading content ... Content that is well written for SEO isnt necessarily well...
