RE: Is .co worth the time?
Let's say you work really hard to make nasehi.co a very interesting and valuable site but I own nasehi.com. You know that lots of your hard work is going to enrich me because lots of your visitors will type nasehi.com instead of nasehi.co. Maybe I will get 10% of your type in traffic. Also, some people building links to nasehi.co will by error make them to nasehi.com.
Thank you!

RE: What is the best way to go about building backlinks?
In my opinion, the author of this type of content should know enough about the industry that he/she can easily identify (or immediately knows)
-- the public misconceptions (these often will be very interesting to people)
-- what people need to know that they usually don't know (this surprises them and is very sharable)
-- the "hot button" issues (plenty of these about waste and they can go viral)
If the author does not know these types of things about the industry then he/she is the wrong author or he/she needs to do a lot of learning. There are a lot of topics in this industry that can get venomous. Lots more that are very touchy. All of them must be 100% technically correct when there is a lot of misinformation about this topic out there.
I'd talk with the client about this and be prepared to say that I am not the right person for this content job.

"Howdy Doody"
Ha ha... I thought that Robert Fisher and I would be the only people posting here who know about "Howdy Doody".
Thanks for the laugh.

RE: Ranking issues for UK vs US spelling - advice please
Am I right or wrong here?
I agree. I think that Google has lots of problems here.
sulfur and sulphur have lots of problems
gray and grey have enormous problems
From what I see proper nouns for names of people, places and things cause a lot of the problems - but there are lots of webpages that seem to be overlooked or unreasonably ranked.
Any help.....
I don't have any help. I can only say that I am gunning for American English usage as that is where I think I will get the most traffic - and that is where my website is hosted.
