There seems to be a good deal of confusion among those who own and operate websites about URL canonicalization for SEO.

Essentially, the idea is that my Tiny Career website resides at www.tinycareer.com, but you can also type in the shorter, more-efficient-for-marketing-purposes version, tinycareer.com and get to the same online destination.

However, if you type in tinycareer.com and then look at the URL string once you arrive on that page you’ll notice that you’re actually on www.tinycareer.com not tinycareer.com.

This happens because, behind the scenes, you’ve been redirected from tinycareer.com to www.tinycareer.com. The “www” folder on the internet server houses my Tiny Career website content.

​For all intents and purposes the shorter tinycareer.com address is easier to use for marketing reasons, but if they were two different sites as a result of dropping the “www,” that would create duplicate content on the internet and cause my site to lose SEO authority, thus not appearing in search results for those trying to find a site that has content like that of www.tinycareer.com.

Are you a home owner in Plymouth, Michigan?

Do you struggle with how to approach choosing a home repair contractor when your home needs work done?

Shopping around for any type of home repair can be a daunting task, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the type of work that may need to be done once you finally spot some damage.

When it comes to a home’s roof, often, the average home owner is unaware of what signs to look for to determine if the roof needs repair or replacing. This is due in part to the fact that most home owners don’t regularly venture up on their roof to examine it.

Unfortunately, that means, by the time there is an obvious need for roof repair the damage is extensive.

Luckily the Michigan Just Best Roofing website posts blogs on a variety of topics related to finding a reputable Plymouth, Michigan roofing contractor. It’s one stop to learn how to identify if your roof needs help, different roofing options and what to look for when hiring a roofing contractor.

If you are buying a home, one of the major areas of the house that the home inspector will tell you about is the roof. A good home inspector will be blunt about concerns he or she has about the house including the roof’s remaining life-span.

Home inspectors are often good at helping identify when it might be time to consider re-roofing a house, especially in Ypsilanti, Michigan where all seasons of hot, wet, and cold weather beats up the roofs of homes.

Certainly, if you’re buying a home that is the right location and layout and you discover that the roof needs repair or replacing altogether, you may be able to get the seller to come down on the asking price. 

That may be good news in the short-term to get the house at a price you want, but you’ll have to fix that roof, which can potentially cost more than you bargained for if you’re not careful.

That’s where the Rapid Roofing website can help you find roofing contractors in Ysplanti, Michigan.

When you're repairing or replacing your home's roof in Downriver, Michigan there are many factors to consider, and each of those factors likely has a cost/benefit associate with it.

However, unless you truly know what you're doing when it comes to roof repairs, replacement or even roof cost in Downriver Michigan then you may want to check out an educational website on the subject like, MichiganRoofPros.com.

Electric skateboards have become rather popular in the last year.

Their increase in popularity has made understanding the differences between brands, their unique features and price more relevant for consumers of motorized skateboards.

You want an easy way to find out what are the best electric skateboards you can buy in 2017.

​On the Motosk8 website the research is done for you and housed in one place online so you can educate yourself about which electric skateboard will be the best buy for you.

When you're adopted at 10 months old by an Italian family and by 19 your adopted parents pass away there is no doubt you may find yourself with a lonely soul.

That's the shortened story of musical artist, Ser Franklin. Lucky for us, Ser Franklin is still writing his story...or should I say, history?

Ser Franklin's debut album, Lonely Soul, was recently released and made available across all digital platforms.

The song, Ain’t No Other Way, shown in the video above, underscores Ser Franklin's feeling of loneliness as it depicts a break-up, or perhaps a love that never got started, but would never be able to exist if it did.

However, the song has a self-empowering appeal that identifies inner strength when Ser Franklin sings, "Not every story is gonna last forever / can't trust in you so i need to trust in me / and we must know by now."

Being originally from Brazil, but growing up with his adopted family in Italy, Ser Franklin's musical style is eclectic.

As a young adult he studied abroad in Denver, CO in the United States and there fell in love with the sounds of jazz. He mixed that jazz inspiration with soulful influences of artists like, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Donny Hathaway and others to reach the Ser Franklin sound.

Ser Franklin may be feeling less lonely these days as Lonely Soul gains more popularity continuing to grow his fan-base.  Be sure to check out the album.

It's that time of year...

Spring cleaning time!

Spring cleaning is not just limited to clearing out the attic and basement to have a garage sale and get rid of stuff (though that's a good idea).

Spring cleaning is not just about dusting and vacuuming those hard to reach spaces of your home that you don't normally touch (though, that too is a good idea).

However, spring cleaning should also be a time to inspect your home inside and out, especially your home's roof.

The roof of your house takes the most beating from the outdoor elements each year, and when you're living in Michigan it's important to understand how your roof is holding up against the heat and cold of the changing seasons.

When spring is here it's a good time to get a roof inspection on your home in Taylor, Michigan. Spring weather (if not raining) is a time when the winter snow and ice is gone and any roof damage may be easier to spot.

Click the link above and be sure to check out the post from Detroit Remodeling Contractor about spring-time roof inspections.

Your home is a large investment for you and your family. As is expected, you want to protect that investment for the longevity of yours and your family's time spent living in the house.

As with any home, the roof is one of the most basic protections you and your family have from the elements of the weather, and when you live in Southgate, Michigan you have all sorts of different weather that your home's roof has to contend with.

Over time, and with constant exposure to the heat of the summer sun, cold winter ice, snow, sleet, and high winds and rain in spring and fall your roof takes a beating.

That's why when it's time to hire the best roofing contractor in Southgate, Michigan you'll want to check out Allpoint Construction on DownriverRoofers.com.

The link above will point you to a useful post with 5 key tips to keep in mind as you hire a roofing contractor to improve, repair or replace your home's current roof.

I encourage you to read it and learn what to look for so you not only have the opportunity to work with a great roofing contractor, but also understand what questions to ask so you don't get taken advantage of.
