Then I realized that the foreign domain needed to take more than 38 hrs to go live. -- Usually it takes about 24-48 hrs in the States if you register here.

I know it has helped some of my clients brush up on their basics of computing. Which helps make it easier to communicate with them. I like the concept of dummies books.

Though, I agree that in general, Dummies books are aimed for beginners, a few of them are quite good even for experienced persons. And it goes with the author. Happy to see that there are others (experienced, but not necessarily beginners) who value content and buy a book irrespective of what the title (Dummies) says. Hello Andrew,

Though I am eager to see what you guys are talking about in there I refuse to pay money to chat, besides it is very time consuming and removes me from my Zen place. ;) I have been blah blah blah'ing like a lost sheep in the WebProWorld forum for a few days now, (shows how insane this garbage is making me). Will try to save up some adsense $ to pay to get in, I should have enough by Xmas, in my case pages got the dreaded PR disease that you all seem so fond of, if PR is going to hose my sh*t I want nothing to do with it. I am going to do a site with a stupid name for comic relief and call it blue-widgets.com or somethin', from there I can send people into sandbox hell with bad advice, the forums do not seem to help anyone out really, maybe WMW is different, but I doubt it. I Don’t Know Mojo,

You get what you pay for and Google knows this. GoDaddy has a strong name so you might be on a good foot. Check their T&C (or wherever your NS server is) to see if they allow spammers to roam freely on their servers, and if they do, you will need to rethink your strategy otherwise. I am on WMW under Yippee, feel free to sticky mail me there and I will try to help where I can. Again, read Google's 3/31/2005 patent... It's painful but lots of info in there. Mojo Aaron,

It is that entity that has to be trusted by Google, not the fact you have a separate IP from the rest. Another words, if you have your Domain Name/IP on a Name Server that is marked by Google as a Spammy server, you will suffer the fate as the rest on the box itself along with the smammers. Second, once you are sure you are on a trusted Name Server, then it's configuration from there. That's when the CNAME stuff comes in. Get to know the DNS standards, translation, Int' laws, etc. Any respectable company will protect it's DNS record under lock and key. I always recommend using Network Solutions for Domain Name registration and DNS management. They probably have 1 of the top 5 trusted Name Servers on the market. Whatever you do, don't rush through your DNS configuration, and take baby steps. It can become virtual hell if you are not careful. Just ask Brett from WMW ;) No need to try to catch it in time for the Jagger update cuz it can always fix itself on future PR ranking. All the Jagger update is doing is uploading the mechanism to score the DNS stuff accordingly. Mojo (aka Yippee - WMW) Aaron,

Can someone educate me about this please?

Harith seems to be the closest. I'm gonna first suggest to the webmaster community to become acqauinted with Google's 3/31/2005 patent. Then understand what it means to manage and protect your DNS record. AND then understand how CNAME comes in play. For everyone else, why would good ole Matt buy the book DNS for Dummies when the patent had been written all around DNS, TrustRank, and ownership responsibility, AND Matt's name is directly on it. Mike's comment is 100%, he's got Google right there! Matt knows what time it is. Folks, the stealth verbal assualt is Matt telling us it's the DNS stupid, and more importantly the CNAME records and how you setup your aliases. Lastly, I question why WMW and TW went down last week. Could be cuz they flirted with their DNS settings? Or simply moving it to another host G considers reputable, therefore, increasing their TrustRank. What about Matt, why did he move his site, especially to a reputable host? DNS people, start protecting it with you life. It's how you will increase your TrustRank. Mojo (aka Yippee - WMW) Matt,
