You know what works when googling? Providing context. "mac mail", "mac preview", "mac letters" Regardlessly, we can optimize for Google in the html title, etc. No need to scream .app. Lastly, what you mention is a bit of chicken and egg problem. If we start calling it Letters.app, we'll never rank well for just letters. But if incoming links start saying just Letters, we will get a better rank for just Letters, with time. This is all just information. I honestly don't care what gets written on the website, as long as I don't see Letters.app when I hover it on the dock. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list List help: http://lists.ranchero.com/listinfo.cgi/email-init-ranchero.com
