UT OH Beware Google < New Search >

TFF... results "powered by Google"

It is soooo.... funny. Uses Google on-site search and tries to claim he is better than Google. Life gets weirder and weirder... it must be the end times.

I did not claim to be better than anybody. What I said was The site could be bigger than Google. Then again I am directing my efforts to people who actually know something. This would not be you. I am looking for a business person not a rattletrap.

Alright, alright.... enough of that, time to move on. I just thought it was funny.

My extreme apologies... I better stick to teaching my MBA marketing classes and not attempt to comment on business issues.

I realize you are trying to make your mark. What you should try to remember is that there are many professionals on this board that are likely older than your father with decades of business experience. You came in screaming when what you have to offer is a whimper.

Think you'd better change the name to rattletrap.com since the average business person will end up at http://ontheinter.net or possibly http://ontheinter.com/ and not @ your domain.

for a start, how many catchy Search engines have hyphons in the URL. 0

Hyphons are a no-no ;)

1 more thing, if a SE is attempting to overthrow Google, the last resuilts they should use would be google, beacuse If by some stroke of miraculous genius on-the-Inter.net became larger than Google and forced them out of business (which doesnt even happen in my dreams), then they would close their on-site search systems, and inturn on-the-Inter.net. Not a wise business decision, even i can see that, and business isnt my middle name..

You may also want to consider the Welcome Paragraph too. I have highlighted in red what needs fixing:

Personally, I would revise the entire page, to look more like this:

I am sorry if I offended someone? I was assuming this site was about our websites. I will no longer post.
Best of luck to everyone. Please close thread.

In my experience this venue is to help each other... since you arrived your posting style suggests self promotion ONLY and that doesn't appear is going to change any time soon

So good luck with your plan to be the better Google.

I dont think you offended anyone don't take it to heart. Just sometimes the way you approach a subject will define how people respond. To be able to claim to better google is a big statement that needs to be backed up.

If you are as gone as you say you are from the forums, Good luck in your future endevours. If not, see you around in the forums.
