IRM and Search Engines

[LeeH]

Greetings FQ Gurus!

I have a questions pertaining search engines and IRMs.

Will the search engines pick up the site that is an IRM?

Does anyone have any tips on ranking with an IRM?

Thanks

Hi Lee,

There has been much discussion on this subject in the past, here in the Forums.

Basically, the bottom line is that a Search Engine searches for URLs, http://www.yourdomain.com[nbsp][nbsp]and not IP addresses, so a search engine wouldn't know that a domain is an IRM anymore than a web surfer would.

Here are a couple of relevant threads from past Forums:

There are many more if you would wish to search for them.

I hope this helps :)

Have a Good One
Bob
