Monday, December 3rd, 2007 | Search Engine Optimization

This is one of my hot topics that I follow. I have been watching for well over a year, maybe two, and it is building momentum and getting more press on a regular basis.

Typosquating is simply profiting from deception and misdriection. Who profits? The likes of Google and Yahoo, the ad providers. This really is a wild west, translated lawlessness, environment. Ultimately I am afraid legislation may be needed that makes the ad providers liable for this fraudulent behavior in order to get this under control.

Never underestimate the power of the internet. An increasing number of people use the internet
to search for a business or service so having a web presence is an important media for promoting
your company. Web design is a real skill and if your website is to not only look good but work well,
it should be constructed by a professional web designer.

Carol,
We host with Rackspace and have not have any problems. They have “fanatical support” and it really is fanatical. We love them.
