Great question, but Ryan and de4e pretty much covered it.

Also keep in mind that the ampersand symbol can also be interpreted as & and that may hurt you. It may be that focusing JUST on Holiday Inn versus the others will no doubt provide the best return.

Always remember that you are writing to the general public and most of them or us tend to use short layman terms so that renders the "and Suites" somewhat obsolete.

I'd have to say that when we went through our domain change, we forgot to initialize the 301 redirect so we got penalized for 6 weeks until we caught it; however, it's not like we had some big stuff between newglobalventures.com and www.newglobalventures.com.

Just out of curiousity which is the site that you're experiencing loss on?
