| sorry dude, I didn't mean to come off harsh like that I just figured the whole point of the sticker was for people to check out this site right? so if they plug in sixthgencelica.net it won't take them anywhere. maybe we could register that domain and redirect it here, cuz I agree with you 6GC.NET in graff would look weak. |

| I agree with the fact that that sticker looks sweet, but registering another domain and pointing it here would actually hurt the site's traffic, because of the way that Google and many other search engines work. It would reduce this site's pagerank, pointing less people to 6G Celicas and hindering the amount of people finding this site and registering and helping out. That would be a sweet sticker though.

| might as well have a sticker that just says "Sixth Gen Celica" instead of using a non-existent domain. and maybe Coomer could put those keywords in the meta-tags incase someone actually goes through the trouble of searching for it. |

Actually, registering another domain will not reduce traffic. As a matter of fact, it might be even better having more options for people to hit this site instead of 6gc.net. If you're really serious about this site, then I would recommend registering more domains that point to this. Search engines don't care about the domain name. Search engines will *spider* a site looking for keywords to index. This is why it's important to have meta tags, meta descriptions, etc. Search engine indexes are primarily based off of META words. If you really want to increase traffic, I would also recommend registering 6gc.com. Most people will use "com" instead of "net". Other domains that you can register are 6thgencelica.com/net sixthgencelica.com/net sixgencelica.com/net (These are all unregistered by the way. I just did a *whois* on all 6 as well as 6gc.com) Don't spread yourself too thin. It really wouldn't hurt to register more domains and simply have them *redirect* or *point* to 6gc.net. This will give people more ways of finding the site. Since domains are cheap to register nowadays ($8 at godaddy.com), maybe you can start taking donations to help register the other domains. That's only $48 to register 6 domains. You web hosting company may also charge a small fee to alias the domains to 6gc.net, but if you don't want to pay for that, I'm sure the registrar will allow you to redirect the domains to 6gc.net (15 dollar domains allows this). One last thing, if you want to improve placement, the only real way of doing that, as opposed to waiting months to be reindexed to the top, is to pay. I know that most people don't want to pay $50+ just to be placed at the top, but it's the most reliable way of getting there. Hope this helps. -Ray |
