SEO consultant Joe Rinehart standing by config.com sign

In a nutshell, I have an extensive background with Internet e-commerce and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) consulting solutions which precede the commercialism of the Internet. I'm very proud of that fact and chances are, more than you wish to know about me is within or linked from this web site. I've included both my professional e-commerce SEO consulting and personal family information on this web site to make it easier for people to contact me.

There are several ways my last name can be misspelled include: Reinhart, Rhinehart, Rinehardt, Rineheart, Rhineheart, Reinhardt, however, the surname I was born with is Rinehart.

I encourage you to register for an account on my web site so that you might participate in contributing links and news items in addition to being the first to receive news about SEO, E-commerce, my family, friends, peers, clients, and I.

If you don't wish to have an account, then you may be interested in subscribing to my RSS news feeds for the periodic articles I've been known to write although you'd also be receiving information about my personal life.

If you'd like a web site like mine, please feel free to contact me. Frankly, I ain't the cheapest, but there are those of us that never associated quality with cheap! It's all about quality of service, isn't it? The entire network I designed was upgraded with new equipment in 2006 when most Internet Service Providers (ISPs) were losing revenue from the Urban dial-up Internet access migration to broadband cable and DSL Internet access. Also, when was the last time you found an ISP Network Administrator who published his personal contact information for the benefit of his commercial clients and frankly, to resolve any issues, before the masses would know it even existed?

The solution is to use an .htaccess file with this code:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}^yoursite\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

largely because so much of my personal stuff has become mixed in with my consulting ;) I'd really like to use my personal web site for personal information although I'm very proud of my career, I can always include a tidbit here and there.

My Nokia 5310 Cell

Please feel free to send me your comments  as  my template may need some tweaking. Of course, you can also always use your phone to telephone me at 330.389.1192 since some of us really don't like to use the small keypads on our phones to SMS You may also call toll-free in North America 1.888.config.com. This line revolves to the config.com reception desk first, five seconds later it'll ring my office, then five seconds later it'll ring my cell.

This new PDA designed web site service will also allow me to conduct additional research toward  the effectiveness of search engine optimization (SEO) for PDAs. 

First: RSS is an acronym depending on what version of RSS you are referring to:

• * Rich Site Summary (RSS 0.91)
• * RDF Site Summary (RSS 0.9 and 1.0)
• * Really Simple Syndication (RSS 2.0)

Second: a simple video explanation I found on YouTube explains the old way-new way value of RSS.

In relationship to SEO, the bottom line is you may disseminate your web sites articles, news, and web pages to other third party sites. When a reader finds a headline of interest it brings them to your site for the full article.

I have one of my favorite links directories SEO: RSS Feed Directories is currently available to non-registered users. Once I'm convinced I've submitted my own sites to all the directories I've researched with any page rank value or real tangible value to my mind, I'll close my favorite links category SEO: RSS Feed Directories to registered users only... Needless to say, there are several of my favorite links categories that are only available to registered users ;) ]]> joe@joerinehart.com (Joe Rinehart) frontpage Thu, 27 Nov 2008 00:32:54 +0000 http://www.joerinehart.com/faqs/1st-url-advertised-in-a-computer-magazine.html http://www.joerinehart.com/faqs/1st-url-advertised-in-a-computer-magazine.html I was digging around archive.org (now known as the way back machine) for a copy of one of the actual ads that I authored and ran in Computer Shopper between Oct '93 and Oct '94 a couple of years before the Internet was commercial for an interview today with The Daily Kent Stater at Kent State University and found one from Oct '94.

1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper

Historical 1993-94 Internet ad in Computer Shopper

At the time there were only two distributors in America selling CD-ROM discs and neither sold overseas. We saw that as an opportunity. Since the config.sys file was the first and most important file on a computer which told the system where the address for devices like CD-ROM drives were, we named the company config.sys (now known as config.com)

I've always joked that we didn't make our first gazillion dollars selling CD's because computers were not as popular as they have become today

The Commerce Exchange CD

The Internet became commerical in March of 1995 which was about two weeks after our Commerce Exchange was released. While sales initially went through the roof, then died just as quick since all of a sudden the merchants supporting our disc could get a web site. It was just another great idea, three months too late.This was when we evolved our company toward publishing and manipulating content on the Internet web and have been doing so ever since....
