Yes, I think it would have. This particular person was a 12 step domain name buyer and owns just about every name on the subject, you can think of. However, as an aside, he had this site established when he hired me, so we just went ahead with this one. Anyway, I think you all have the idea regarding naming conventions. I'm sure you all know the cautions regarding too much of a good thing, etc.
Web directory helps.
Yes, and I'll tell you what helps more than anything, but it took a while to build up. In this field we have to change all the time. You are right, the links are all within worldwebads to the respective site and NOT reciprocal. The links on this are reciprocal as they try to get a link to oldcity from all of their clients and they maintain a directory of all their clients. So, back to the naming convention theme.
