I haven't heard back from them -- I try to communicate with everyone when they are mentioned in this blog.<BR/>Generally, I am respectful of competitive dynamics; when blogging is used primarily as a Search Engine Optimization resource, it loses the value that occurs when the blog is written from a sincere and useful perspective (and the higher search engine rankings are a welcome bonus.) Of course, the readership of this blog is national (or international, for that matter) so I handle local competitive issues within this framework. Regardless, I enjoy your blog and have granted it a permalink.Construction Marketing Ideashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16968597544299489425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35324813.post-64376999348781648682008-08-21T12:02:00.000-07:002008-08-21T12:02:00.000-07:00Mark,I find the credibility of the "other" blog yo...Mark,<BR/><BR/>I find the credibility of the "other" blog you mentioned to be nonexistent. I checked to see what Ken had written, and it appeared he is very upset with a certain company using his name. I don't feel that using the words Raleigh and fence in my company infringes on Mr. Plain's trademark, and furthermore, if wants to be sure no one can purchase anymore domains with the words Raleigh and fence in them, he is more than welcome to purchase all of them. <BR/><BR/>I went back to reread his post dated August 11 and it has been removed, along with the comment he made in response. His last actual posting dated November of 2007, he explains the difference between paid ads, and search results. I don't count the post in April of 2008, as it was written by someone else, and copied and pasted to his site. <BR/><BR/>In conclusion, if you were to compare our sites, you would not be comparing apples to apples.<BR/><BR/>Keith Bloemendaal<BR/>Raleigh Fence Contractors, LLCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
