I also am curious as to whether others are still finding this service effective.

I absolutely agree and can report similar results. I had a site that was hosted in Canada and was on page 1 for major search terms for google.ca and on page 2 for google.com. Switched to US based hosting, and the situation reversed - in fact, the site lost some major rankings for the .ca...

Not necessarily true. If Toronto means downtown Toronto, I've got a client ranking #3, ahead of quite a few others who are right in the downtown, but they are several miles away, on the outskirts. I have read and heard this before, but it is not true.

When I visit family in Northern Ireland (ah, can't wait to get back there again), it is normal to wear shoes inside. It's odd to remember that as when you visit people here in Canada, normally you are expected to take your shoes off at the door. When my family members come visit here, they...

Living in Canada myself, I agree with Sniper, above. In the winter, carpet adds an insulating quality which is nice. I have carpet in my house upstairs (except for the bathroom... can't understand people who do that), but hardwood floor downstairs. In the winter though, having an "area rug" on...

Absolutely not. I've had clients forget to renew a domain for several days, or their email address changed and they didn't get the domain renewal notice. Nothing was lost after the domain was renewed. It is my belief that domains carry all the good and bad with them, no matter what. I could be...

I love fishing - but the majority of what I do is fly fishing. You can fly fish for pike, but you are likely thinking about using spoons and heavier lures in the lochs. Do you have a tackle dealer near you? If you go in and tell them what you want to do, they should be able to easily advise...

I do have to say, I wonder how many Americans here have any thought or give any thought to Enniskillen Masacre that happened in 1987... idiotic political and religious beliefs, garnered with money and funds from people in Canada and North America (and elsewhere).. sure.. it was not thousands...

You know, I find these sorts of discussions very difficult. Very very difficult. I have nothing but a great deal of empathy for the victims of 9-11, and a tremendous amount of sadness. Please don't get me wrong. Indeed, although I presently live in Canada, on the morning of 9-11, when I woke...

I do not know if Angela type links are now harmful. Indeed, I am sure in some cases they are not harmful at all, and still have value. I pointed out in another thread which seems to have been deleted, that I ranked a site that has no content whatsoever other than a title and description tag, for...

For those that have experienced issues with PayPal holding their money or from some stories I've heard, just outright closing accounts and keeping your money, it looks like a class action law suit is being filed against the company, in the United States. There is more information here - this...

TT4 - I think it has something to do with Traffic Travis - but I could be incorrect. I've never used TT before.

Yes, I am. Probably can't help you with much though...

All of mine are showing September 3 as the last date for reporting information on queries and clicks, as of today.

I used to work on a farm. You'd be amazed at how many grasshoppers and other small creatures end up in the grain bins... if the grain went through a grain dryer, they are crispy. But whatever, they all end up mixed together with the grain and trucked out to the mills.

ROTFL! I had a girlfriend like that, once. They don't teach "projection" in school, but they should. I once posted a song by The Proclaimers, "Irish Girls Are Pretty"... and holy smokes, you woulda thought I was out to do every one of my female friends that were Irish, as well as go back to my...

Good one for all the WSO buyers on the WF forum out there!! ;)

An interesting discussion. I was recently looking at Vitamin A, and from what I understand, there are two forms - retinols and carotenes. Retinols come from the fats of animals while carotenes come from non animal foods. Problem is, it's the retinol form of Vitamin A that is directly linked to...

It is a Jackass Matrix, agreed - but it's not so simple as what he says. If there are many links on that PR7 page, the link juice is split between them. But you are correct in that chasing PR is not the greatest thing to be chasing. Your SERP's for various keywords won't give you an advantage...

With this caveat: "It's important to remember that obtaining links from high PR sites is not the only criteria - The amount of "PageRank value" (also called link juice) that this link will pass depends on the PageRank of page divided by the number of outgoing links on Page."
