Bill:
I like the whistling.

As a reseller, should I still link to my host?
I understand the contradiction but, if you love your host (insert heart icon here), there is a 'stealth' way to do this (and it would greatly be appreciated).
Create a small gif, say a line at the bottom of your page separating the very bottom links from the rest of your page. Then, create a hyperlink from that gif.
Only the shadow... oh sorry, only the spider would know!

Bill:
I do not see a problem with your structure (assuming I understand it).
You have www.yoursite.com/folder/modelA
There is an internal link to the above page (using the above path).
You can reach that same page by modelA/yoursite.com
There are no internal links to the above page using the subdomin name as a link.
P.S. Where is your TCH link on your page?
(Link to TCH here) -
TCH (Bill Kish et. al.), you are simply good people. Thank you, seriously... THANK YOU.
Regarding the charity of choice, before my wife and I ever give to any charity, we always check them out first. This all started many years ago when our daughter began selling Girl Scout Cookies and I found that the actual dollar amount that went to the Girl Scouts was minimal.
There are several sources on-line for such evaluation. Here is one .
I list the percent of its total budget a charity spends on the programs and services it exists to deliver for the ones mentioned thus far (there are other criteria used in evaluation, but this is the one I consider most important).
76.7% Make A Wish Foundation
91.4% Ronald McDonald House Charities
72.5% American Heart Association
75.8% Habitat for Humanity
90.4% The American Red Cross
75.8% Habitat for Humanity
93.1% Food for the Poor
67.7% Covenant House
87.1% Feed The Children

By most accounts (see word of caution below), subdomains are considered separate from main domains and are thus indexed separately. This particular situation can be good and it can be bad (relative to search engine strategy). It really depends on your particular situation.
If you would like, give us more information regarding your situation and I would be happy to comment.
Example: TCH had the forum and help sites as separate domains. In a very established site (established with regard to the search engines) that would be fine, actually potentially beneficial in that they would each have established rank within the search indices. The three domains would 'feed' each other from their individual page rank via external linkage.
However, in a site that is not well established (among the search engines) and contains limited content (literally number of pages and quantity of body text), subdomains would not be in the best interest. In the case of TCH, all three are now part of one greater site which now has deeper content, more content and more internal links. This will aid in higher search engine rankings.
Word of caution: there is a potential for penalty (spamming) if one were to set-up subdomains with redundant content. In other words, if you are going to set-up subdomains make sure that the content of each is indeed different.

Special question for Beth...
small enough?

Sorry, the Links Page was up... but never linked too.
To all: if we need to add/alter banners,designs, etc. please send them my way.
Also, comments on this page would be helpful.
Thanks for any help and special thanks to those who link to us.

Nice link Mr. Guru ... added to my favorites

I was going to say something with regard to this post ... but I was very disciplined.
I will just say… be careful.
-
Fixed. Thanks twowheels.

I like it a lot! I could go on and on, but....

OK Joneses
I'm going monitor shopping!

I strongly recommend you read through the posts in this forum. Several address setting up a forum and others will give you a 'feel' for TotalChoice.
After that, your decision will be easy.

So far.. I'm very impressed!
Get used to it ... more to come!
To you and your brother ... welcome.

You're room will be up the stairs and to the right. Please go to sleeep now.

Good post KW.

How about PDF?
HTML would work too (and an easy conversion), but pdf would be easier for the user.
-
but I do know that they could use a better looking docs, though...
I agree!
-
Thanks shammer.
How come the documentation is only for 4?

Still off topic but,
Obviously, I was of a different breed:
1966 Ford Mustang ... she was so sweet, candy-apple red with black interior.
My first ... well besides big blue that read cards (oh remember keeping those blasted cards in order!), a good ole Kaypro (darn near put Osborne out of business). I could not afford Radio Shake's expensive TRS-80! Remember Kaypro, the 45lb portable, oversized 9" screen and two; yes two floppy drives ... I was in high cotton in those days!

The right mix of colors, images, layout, size of fonts, etc. all deal with presentation - a far cry from my COBOL and FORTRAN programming days during the 1970's!
Boy KW you just struck an aging cord with me. I still miss the goto's don't you?
Now does that blue look best with that blue or should I add a yellow?
Would it look better if I just moved that graphic up one pixel? No it looks better maybe if I move it down three.
Just not the same!
-
Very .... very good! I have not reviewed it all but what I have seen so far is excellent ... seriously (and I am one picky son-of-a-gun)!
When we see typo's, grammatical problems, etc., where would you like those posted? On this thread?

Got it ... Thank you.
Subdomains And Promotion
in Web Site Promotion

Actually, this is not a bad strategy from strictly a selfish point of few. I am using the term 'selfish' not as judgmental but truly with your own interests in mind. A subdomain, or from the search engines point of view; really a single site, that only contains one or a few pages containing links will not be considered a site to index. Thus, none of the reciprocal links will benefit from your site pointing to them (again I am only speaking relative to the search engine, they will obviously benefit from visitors who uses them as direct links).
The other advantage is that the only external link from your site will be the one pointing to the subdomain. As opposed to all the reciprocal links being external links from your site. As I have stated in other threads, external links actually bleed page rank from the page they link from. Therefore, in this scenario, you have less bleeding. It is actually a clever idea. On this same level, some web masters/optimizers disguise external links by using JavaScript (which are not 'considered' by the search engine spiders). However, there is present discussion that this might change, JavaScript links would be considered.
Having said all of this, I personally do not due or recommend any of the above. Too deceitful in my opinion (now see, I am being judgmental). If you are willing to add a link to someone's site, add a 'real' link. Discriminate the links you add so they will be both useful from a search engine optimization point of view, but more importantly from the point of view of your visitor.
