Occasionally it gets absurd

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Every now and again someone contacts us with a single online page that they want some number one listings for. If we can’t do it we’ll say so, and in a case like this one on Jim Boykin’s blog I’d struggle not to snigger if I was replying to that request.

Should I start submitting before my website is live?

Monday, September 12th, 2005

At Netpromote we were asked this question a few weeks back, and not for the first time either. Should I start submitting my URL even though I don’t have a website on it?
