Hi Chris. I have a website that I have been submiting to a bunch of free directories. However, lately I have been hearing about directories not being as valuable as they once where. What are your thoughts on this and would posting links in forums be a good alternative?
- Paul

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the great question! I’m not a huge fan of directories myself. While I still continue to use them, I’m becoming more and more picky about the ones I waste my time submitting my websites to.

GoDaddy.com handles URL Redirection differently then you might think.

I have to give thanks to my co-worker, Joanne, for bringing this issue to my attention. Joanne noticed that one of her clients was forwarding her secondary domain name through GoDaddy.com to her website’s homepage. She already knew that GoDaddy.com doesn’t handle domain redirection as one would expect, but she wanted to know why and what exactly goes on.

I want to step away from talking about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for a moment and write about a great historical place near my home in Rialto, California.
