Hi,
Subject: [thelist] Site Review Please - www.photokyo.com

<tip>
We all know how helpfull an evolt.org site review can be, there is however
something to remember...

Google gives special weight to words found between the <title> tags of a
page.
If you request a site-check, and put your url in the subject, it appears in
the title tag of evolt's list archives.
As evolt is a popular site, it has a high pagerank with google, which means
it will show up among the first results of a google search for your URL, or
part of it.
This is especially an issue if the company name is part of the URL, as
people are liable to search for this.

Your customer might not be so happy to see Evolt's constructive critisism of
his site showing up before the site itself, and neither might you...

Using snurl.com, or your sites IP address might be better.

</tip>
