Another site online

Ok so it's a bit of a cheat this one as it just links instantly to another site, but it might just work/ Have a look at this place here and see what you think.

It's a little trick I've picked up. If you want adomain name close to someone else's then go for www-domainname. Notice the hyphen between www and domain name. Chances are no one will notice it and the joy is, unless you specify otherwise, www.www-domainname and www-domainname will go to the same place. So leave off the www. at the beginning and you have a lookalike domain name. Don't try this for fraudulent reasons, but it does come in handy for affiliate links and the such like. I use the link to go straight to my affiliate page for the same site. In case you didn't know, that's one aspect of link cloaking. Another way of doing it is to go to tinyurl.com, put in your long affiliate link and get a shorter one back. They do look a bit untidy though as you end up with something like http://tinyurl.com/3co52a instead of http://steven938.secretaff.hop.clickbank.net which go to the same place. Depends on your taste and whether you already have a web site to put up redivert pages (which search engines do not like apparently).

I've spent the day tidying up My medical advice articles site which I suddenly noticed had a ton of errors and the sitemap only listed 5 of the 15 subsites. So much for testing after uploading. Will I ever learn how to do this properly and save myself effort later. As an afterthought I went over to dmoz.org and checked all my subdomains were registered under the appropriate headings. For those who don't know, dmoz.org is the source of many search engine's listings, including Google's so it's a good place to be on. Takes months to get listed though.

That should do for now. Back on shift tomorrow so it's back with my nose to the grindstone, shoulder to the wheel and back to the wall.... Try working in that position!
