I've finished setting up http://www.JoeRinehart.com to allow registration and logging into it using a Facebook account, but failed to announce it. Please feel free to visit anytime to learn more about me or to read the periodic articles I've been known to write. Integration with social networks is a good thing and makes it easier for people to stay up to date with your website or company.

Yahoo never ceases to amaze me! They have a programming bug that when people hit their back button to go into their email, after they have logged out, it sends them to my company config.com website.

Today's jump in visitors so far at this writing represents a rise of 17,566.67% and still rising fast according to our Piwik stats and I sure wish they'd spend some money - LOL

This has been going on periodically for about a decade. Of course, we have to deal with the incoming telephone calls and email from people that don't understand why and how they end up on our site. All we can do it tell everyone that we are not in control of the Yahoo search engine site to fix the programming error causing this problem!

While I like to think I'm great at Search Engine Optimization (SEO), this is really pushing the envelope, well beyond my desire! It artificially inflates my visitors numbers and bounce rate goes through the roof!

Humm, maybe I should add some yahoo ads on my site or call an attorney to see what I can do about the harm this is causing. Yea, I know I should be happy... but frankly it is costing more server resources, telephone and email response time, and the dang bounce rate is killing us SEO wise!

If you are visiting from Yahoo as a result of THEIR ERROR, please DONT CONTACT CONFIG.COM, but rather try YAHOO!

Thank you for your consideration and understanding!

Best 'net regards,

Joe Rinehart, Founder and President

We have just upgraded our config.com Domain Name Service (DNS) Authoritative servers to include:

174.122.244.27 a.ns.config.com

174.122.244.32 b.ns.config.com

174.122.244.4 d.ns.config.com

66.219.144.144 c.ns.config.com

We have already made the prerequisite changes for all the domain that we manage as a registrar, however if config.com is NOT your registrar you need to update your records!

AGAIN, IF YOU ARE A CONFIG.COM DOMAIN REGISTRAR MANAGEMENT CLIENT YOU NEED NOT DO ANYTHING!

IF YOU HAVE GoDaddy, Network Solutions, or any other third party DOMAIN Registrar, then please edit your DNS to reflect the above ASAP!

The new servers are Quad Xeon with Quad core processors which were upgraded to address the speed issues we've had in recent months!

FYI, I've decided to send this announcement from my personal JoeRinehart.com blog which is integrated with all the social networks I belong. The last important announcement I made from the config.com site I was told more a few times no one read until after the fact when they experienced an issue. I trust, this automation from my personal blog will be seen by those clients that subscribe to my social network status messages ;)

Best 'net regards,

Joe Rinehart

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.

SEO expert Joe Rinehart at Canton, Ohio computer club in 1993

It's been a long time since this picture of me was taken while discussing information technology at a Canton, Ohio computer club in 1993!

It seems that everyone is an expert at something when the investment is knowledge based.... I have studied and labored toward the goal of ranking web sites highly in the search engine optimization which has earned a proven track record. I'm currently soliciting Ohio based businesses that I might further help make a difference with web site traffic.

I encourage you to surf my personal web site, read my resume, study my credentials, join my professional linkedin.com network, or twitter account... You may also wish to check out my company web site at http://www.config.com , do a few Google searches, call a few clients, ... then give me a call to discuss your Search Engine Optimization needs!

Be warned though, I love my job, life, and family, and if I should start talking too much off topic just say so... In any regard, I know that you'll enjoy an informative conversation about Internet e-commerce and l'll leave you wondering what else does this guy know about the 'net!
