Thanks Bill and Roy,
Right now, my blog which is part of the main site is about 60 in google for
"usability." But I don't have a separate page for usability. I think I can
prepare a page with lots of usability links (similar to my "user interface
design" page) that will attract some attention. And, I can get a lot of good
internal links from my PR6 pages. Plus I can publicize the new page in the
blog and probably get some relevant outside links.
I think it is worth a try. I don't see that it would hurt anything and over
time I could get in the top 10. Right now I know everyone that is there. A
few I will never beat like professional organizations but I think I have a
chance to get within the top 10 in about six months to a year.
I think I will give it a shot.
Thanks Again,
Bob
