My biggest problem is there are so many good guitarists that scare me, but there's not a lot to be done about that.

Right now, I have three questions (NO, SPAW, THIS IS NOT A FAIRY STORY)

Question one is how to attract traffic to a website - which hasn't got two million pages, pics of barenaked wimmin, MP3s, or jokes - without paying money to have it listed?

Question two is how to find those oh-so-useful sites I used to visit, full of useful FAQs and data, with all-text message boards fitted with propellorheads who could tell you how to grow gardenias, repair a microwave oven, and fix your operating system in a four-line message? Google doesn't turn them up very often, and when it does the first one you find is on page four of the query. I'm sure they still exist ... don't they?

Question three - There are some things that are very difficult to search for. A friend of mine, a personnel manager, was out of a job a couple of years ago, and it was very tricky to find suitable posts because every advertisement said "contact personnel... " . I recently bought an old Dallas electric guitar, and trying to find info was close to impossible because of the Dallas ELectric Company and similar. Any neat dodges around this sort of problem?
