have you ever tried Web Ferret?

I've used it for years and it has served quite well

Cool. I just googled on my book title, and it came up first!

Citizen Clinton

It came up ninth when I entered my (fairly common) real name.

I only know of one company, one technology that can truly help with search rankings (although not their real focus; but they're damned good at it) using technology, not spamming, packing metadata, etc., etc.......all the garbage used by these other scamsters (and if you use them, you run the chance of being de-listed anyway by various search engines), and that is SearchEdge (www.searchedge.com).

Your sites look very nice. What I was getting at though was that when you are running a web site that has a lot of competition in the same category, be prepared to pay for your advertising if you want it to be effective. Free advertising via a top listing in a popular search engine isn't going to be available unless the product or service that you are offering is fairly unique.

I actually got a site to show up as the first link in yahoo and google doing nothing more than a few simple meta tags and maintaining the site. Granted the searches that it comes up for are pretty obscure...

Please explain this phrase.

Right-o, although what is dictionary.com for, I ask?

Skank ho: "One who is digustingly foul or filthy and sexually promiscuous for money"

For a woman who abandons all standards of decency to cheat her way into money by unsavory and forbidden "tricks" while selling provocative leather clothing. Astoundingly appropriate, I would say :)

Sorry -- if I had known they were words that would appear in a dictionary, I would have looked them up.
