Be careful when converting your company name / brand name into an (available) domain name; it can have embarrassing repercussions. Imagine seeing a web address like, arsecommerce.com. This domain name may appear rather ordinary to us Americans.

If cash flow is going to be a problem, consider offering the team a four-day week, flex-time, or the option to work from home for a cut in pay.

Content and inbound links are most important for SEO, according to experts, and in that order. Even though this is old news for experienced SEO experts, it is still good news for new ones joining the online community.
Experts were often left to theorize and test—and worse, try to game, in response to Google’s silence on the subject. However, when Google started hitting the PageRanks of paid directories, they seemed to confirm basic SEO tactics.
