WebProWorld Members,
I was looking through WebProWorld Forum and found an interesting post in the Breakroom. They were discussing who really invented the Internet? Was it Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn or was it Tim Berners-Lee. But that depends on who invented or created it. Most believe that actually the creator of the Internet was none other than Mr. Vice President Al Gore. I had no idea; they say "Al Gore helped get the funding business interests to convert the project from an educational one to something that would be open and accessible to everyone."
Our featured post today comes from sparky. It asks the question what is better for SEO, the domain name or the actual site content. If you notice the tags 'title, description, Keywords' on a site and it has nothing to do with your search words. If you have to ask your self, what makes my site rank top of the list?
The remaining posts talk about, subdomain leaked linking causing duplicate content filter on SERP. The next post deals with customer relationship management and recruitment process outsourcing trends. Our final post today asks for help reporting spam to Google.

 Domain Name vs Content
I asked in a different thread if a domain name that started with the word 'The' could ever be ranked number one if someone searched that particular domain name. I asked this due to the word 'the' is a stop word and is dropped from the Google search. I also asked to bring up another point. If you have a domain name that is also a competitive keyword, you will be ranked number one no matter what content you have on your page. True?
Well for everyone that is saying false I ask you please to do this.
1. Please do a Google search for " sexy shoes "
2. Now click on the number one ranked site for that search. 'sexyshoes.com'
3. View the page source.
Please notice the tags 'title, description, Keywords'. Also please notice the content that is on the page or the lack there of. And I ask why is this site pulled number one? It is only due to their domain name?
With that thought one could suggest that content is not king in this case. But having the right domain name is.
Now yes everyone knows content is king. I wanted to point this out as this is a keyword we have been trying to rank for and it a little upsetting when you see things like this.

It's an online user-driven sketching community. By registering you can sketch, vote, create groups and more.
I've recently added the features of a RSS for new sketches, Sitemap XML and RSS for each user.
My thoughts for developing it probably include:
- Search Box
- Custom Page for each user, showing their sketches when logged in.

Subdomain Leaked Linking Causing Duplicate Content Filter On SERP?
Just realized that due to a sealing mistake when we were creating few of our subdomains, we were in fact creating duplicate content. See examples here:
site:faq.testcountry.com - Google Search
The results that has the ?cat=, ? products.html?, products.html? details.html are all there because there was a linking problem in the menu structure of subdomains that send the java script links to go to database driven pages in fact creating duplicate content like:
Home Drug Test Kits, Urine, Hair, Saliva, HIV, Ovulation, Diabetes - TestCountry.
The sole reason we wanted to do a sitemap based mode/rewrite was the assumption that robots can not read javascript and our dynamic database driven product and category pages. Now we see that we were not correct.
This duplicate content issue is causing declines in SERPs, that is pretty obvious since the site receives almost the same organic traffic from MSN or ASK as Google.

RPO - Recruitment Process Outsourcing Trends
CRM is driving talent acquisition. With CRM (customer relationship management) systems allowing one-to-one customer interactions, expect these innovations to translate to "talent" or "candidate" relationship management.
Candidates will not "come running to you" anymore; their resumes will no longer remain static in your database. You will have to go to them. RPO's that are "eBusiness" experts will master the most sophisticated "B to C" technology to win the war for talent. These RPO's will have significant competency in branding and consumer marketing and provide effective results that will help their clients win in the marketplace for talent.

Help Available Reporting Spam to Google?
I've been proactive in reporting spam to Google at Report a Spam Result.
However, I'm just one that takes the time to do this. Probably one in thousands or millions.
Can I ask the users in this forum for help in reporting spam?
There is one particular company that has several domains with the same products, same description, same pricing, same everything!
And, when I do a search, some of these duplicate websites are on the first page. There is even a link on the first SERP to another page that lists this company's websites.
Can you guys help me report this to Google if I post the information so that you can double-check it and help report.
