Google has recently filed for a patent for their site rank system. This patent filing gives some insight on how the page rank system works. Here is a great article explaining some of the details http://www.buzzle.com/edito... One thing I noticed is the lenght a domain is registered for. I typically register domains for only a year at a time. Due to cost, but I will now re-evaluate that. ......

I have been so busy here in Orlando, I have not been able to post any more info. I have attended so many sessions and Cabana's that I am overwhelmed. First things first, IIS 7.0 will rock.

They have done a ton of work with the admin ......
