What's the oldest active domain on the Internet?
What was the first registered domain?
What's the oldest active link?

And this is what I see on the oldest domain in the world: http://symbolics.com/ ???
I hate what internet has become.

Here's a back story on the oldest Networked email: http://openmap.bbn.com/~tomlinso/ray/firstemailframe.html
According to Wikipedia and itself, http://symbolics.com/ was the first registered .com domain name and is still active.
Someone could argue that the oldest active link is a telegraph line that's still hung and running somewhere, but DNS in general would be a better, and more precise still the invention of HTML during 1990-93 with anchors.

Indexing "Without WWW" while it is already redirected to the "WWW" version
Hi Guys My websites are being indexed without "WWW" while the 'http://abc.com' is redirected to 'http://www.abc.com'. Now what I believe is that the URL encoded in my website files are written as 'http://abc.com' rather than 'http://www.abc.com' And since now Google has removed the "Set Preferred Domain" option from the Webmaster Tools, I can't set the preferred version of the URL. Oh & Some pages are indexed with "WWW" & Some are indexed "without WWW" Now I think that it's not an issue, but a lot of people have been saying that this may hurt the rankings.. Some comments/tips would be really appreciated

What's an example of an SEO firm's site that lists their SEO packages excellently
Hello, I'd like to make a packages page on the site I'm still building bobweikelseo.com What's an example of a firm or SEO that lists their packages in a way that is appealing, useful, and all around excellent? I'm thinking of having a first package for analysis at $440, a second package for analysis and on-site SEO for $880, and a third package for analysis, on-site SEO, and link building for $2000-$4000/month depending on how fast they want the link building to go. Looking for some input on how to create a packages page, if my prices are appropriate (I want to be affordable), and an example of a website that does an excellent job at presenting their packages.

Is there a way to get a list (backlink profile) of all tiny url's that point to my site or a competitors site?
I have noticed that most all links you find in all the major back link profile tools such as OSE or GWM, etc... do not show tiny url's. If there is a service that shows all the tiny urls pointing to your site, can someone please share. It has already been proven that tiny url's do pass link juice, so with that being said... if there is no way to find all the tiny urls that point to a site, wouldn't it be a great strategy to create all my back links with tiny url's to mask my profile from competitors? Thanks!

Internet Marketing Ninjas
I'm interested in working with this company. I found out about them through the recommended companies here at SEOmoz but would like to know if anyone here has any experience working with them. They seem knowledgeable but I would love to hear any feed back (good or bad) before I commit. Thanks in advance.

What's a good host for wordpress?
I've been using A2Hosting.com for a few years and am looking for something more reliable and better tech support. I've looked at WP Engine, but would like something less expensive or someone to convince me that it's worth the cost I have 10 domains using Wordpress (clients sites) that need hosting. What are your recommendations, and what would be the ideal set up?

What is the Best Way To Structure A Growing Internet Marketing Firm?
I have been asking a lot of personal friends (who own SEO companies) this question and have found that it seems to be on all of their minds. From BlueGlass to a small start up consulting firm, it seems that everyone is doing things different and constantly shaking it up. I am wondering what SEOMozers are doing/have done for their company structure?
