I just put up the new and improved Perfect Shine Every Time Bay Area window cleaning for a friend in San Francisco with a number of tweaks since the last version. This is one of my rock-climbing friends and this is genuine window cleaning (those things you look out of), not a pro-Linux site or something ;-). The photos are actually pretty cool of all the equipment they have for hanging off high rises and a 135' boom lift and things like that. When he told me he had gotten into the window cleaning business I had no idea just how extensively.
If you're in the SF Bay Area and need windows cleaned (residential or commercial, low-rise or high-rise) check them out. If you are a rock climber who doesn't like his job, check it out too - it looks like pretty fun work, at least in the pictures. But don't go into business against them if you're in San Francisco - I don't want to be giving any idea.
If you really pay attention here, you'll know that this is the second announcement for this site. Partly because it's been somewhat reworked and partly because that last post was about php.ini issues oriented more for techies than to actually say what the site was about. So this announcement is meant to be a little more "sales pitch" and a little less "techno-geek" stuff.
Having said that, one little techy detail I mentioned previously. Their host can't get php.ini or .htaccess php settings running and the site was appending session IDs to the URLs, an obvious kiss of death for getting listed in search engines. I used the
ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '');
to get the session ids out with great results. They get a result in the top 3 for most of the search terms they would want, which I suppose is excellent. People are always throwing out theories like G doesn't like PHP, G doesn't like drupal or mambo or tables or tabless or whatever. Here's yet another case that should lay that to rest with respect to Drupal. If you write searchable copy that actually pertains to what the user is searching for and you get rid of your session IDs, drupal/php will not get in your way in terms of getting listed.
In fact, part of the reason that I started a new thread instead of adding to the old one is that the old announcement was ranking so high that it was showing on the first page of results sometimes and yet said nothing about the business itself. Hoping to bump that original to page two with this one.
