and

forum.recordingreview.com/ both appeared.

This is bad news for duplicated content! So, I immediately hopped on a few forums but none of them seamed to know the answer. I was also concerned that I would mess something up in vBSEO.

So here is the solution to force a subdomain to ONLY go to the subdomain.

Note:

• This htaccess MUST be in the folder you want to redirect from.
• This will only be necessary on servers that allow you to access the subdomain by typing in domain.com/subdomain/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^forum\.recordingreview\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://forum.recordingreview.com/$1 [L,R=301]

After a while, I gave up. Nothing was working. It turns out that the Earthlink hosting disables mod_rewrite. That’s right, in 2007 Earthlink has decided to disable the option of search engine friendly URLs.

I was able to get a “next best” solution. I added “index.php” in front of the custom URL / permalink setup in Wordpress.

In this particular case, I just wanted to domain.com/category/blog-title/

For the “Custom Structure”, I used: /index.php/%category%/%postname%/

Now everything is working fine, The URL isn’t perfect as every URL now has index.php/category/blog-title/ but I think it’s much better than using index.php?q=5 or whatever.

So if you charge $50 per month for a text link, they are getting $25 each and every month. We’d like to see this change so a person could cut their price by 40% and make even more money.

I’m not exactly an php / mysql badass, so development of textlinkcenter.com has taken longer than it should. Oh well, I guess that’s how you learn.

When I attended the Michael Wagener Recording Workshop, in January 2006 I met Mark Warren. In 2006, Mark started 5am Studios. An Austin, Texas recording studio outfitted with Pro Tools HD3, killer rooms, etc. Basically, a high end facility.

Anyway, Mark wanted some help to get the top of the search engines. So for the past few months, we’ve been watching 5am Studio’s Rankings increasingly climb to the top of the search engines.

Chase’s old man has got some land somewhere here in Southeast Missouri that he offers to people around the universe to go hunting. Chase’s dad (who may not even exist) has remained anonymous so far during the web development process as all my dealings have been with Chase.

From the way that Chase talks, his dad had never even used the internet until a week ago. However, this doesn’t mean that he can’t have a great website to further promote his business endeavors.

So Chase, who is a little more up on this whole internet thing, came over and we worked out a site for them in just a couple of hours.

Chase’s dad didn’t want to spend a fortune on web design, so I used a freely available script (called Wordpress…which is the same thing this site uses) to manage the Missouri Deer Hunting Land site.

Just like with HomesByDHS.com, this is a site that the user can manager entirely themselves. Just log in to the admin panel and change what you want to change. It’s very simple and takes me, the web designer guy, out of the picture. Of course, I’m always here if they need me, but it’s nice for both parties when they can do pretty much everything themselves.

Soon, I will begin the process of ranking in the search engines for Missouri Deer Hunting.

It was a big deal to me to build a site that Rick could work himself. Rick may have a mega understanding of studs and insulation, but he’s ALMOST useless on a computer. So, I used a little programming (okay, a lot of programming0 to create a site that he could update 99.9% of the time himself.

I’m a very busy guy and sometimes it’s hard for me to make time to change a mundane detail on a site for a client who may not know how. Well, that has all changed. My programming and site design makes changing, editing, or updating a website about as simple as checking your email at Yahoo or Hotmail.

So what does HomesbyDHS do that a normal site doesn’t do?

• When Rick wants to add a house, he logs into his admin section and clicks “Add A Home”. He’ll be asked the price, square footage, bedrooms, bathroom, etc. He’ll then be asked to specify pictures from the house, which will be uploaded, automatically resized, and stored for web use. If he sells a home, he simply edits the home and changes it’s status to “sold”. The home no longer shows up on the “for sale” section.
• If Rick wants to announce to the world that he has a new home for sale, he clicks on “Newsletter” and types a message (and even includes images). When he hits send, his entire mailing list (anyone who has ever contacted him via the Homesbydhs.com website) will receive the update of his latest home for sale. Not everyone will want to receive this updates, so a link is provided in the email to remove a person from the mailing list.
• If Rick gets busy and forgets to send a newsletter, I’ve written a script that will automatically email him if he has not sent an email in 30 days. Sometimes we all need a reminder for various tasks. Using programming keeps out site active, alive, and keeps traffic and awareness up without having to waste brain power remembering. Let my programming take care of that.
  Rick can also post updates in the news section of the site.
• If Rick wants to add a new page or section to the site, he simply clicks on “create new page” and then writes what he wants to say, adds pictures where he wants to add pictures in a format that feels a lot more like word that some crazy web page programming junk.
  If Rick decides that one page doesn’t fit what he wants to tell the world, he uses the admin tool to remove it.
• Rick always wants to put his best foot forward, so the website is setup to always show his most expensive home at the top of the homepage.

When work completes on the scripting and graphic design of Homesbydhs.com, we will begin the search engine optimization process to get Rick’s Cape Girardeau Real Estate site to the top of Google and the other search engines.
