so which comes first? the chicken or the egg? the aim of a search engine is to rank the sites according to some criteria - I assume usefulness and popularity would be the main criteria. So if your site is useful and popular, it will rank high - and you will get more business (but only if you remain useful and popular). -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ Foss conference for the common man: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/ -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
