i am new home inspector , i need helping

[Dick Cheney]

Geeeeeeez I didn't know that mentioning other associations by name was an infringement of the forum rules. I looked up the rules and there is nothing about mentioning other associations as being an infringement. So much for the guaranteed rights of Freedom of Speech as oft touted by the guru. Freedom of Speech is only guaranteed if its flattery, or to the liking of the guru. Sad, sad, sad. Dickey aka Raymond Wand and not Jian!

But there are rules against registering under a false name...

[Dick Cheney]

Oh is that right? Strange you would say there is a rule against registering under a false name. Where can that rule be found? Also there are many others who are not using their actual names, so your rule is moot. Thanks I appreciate factual info.

It won't matter by Thur of next week. Next week InterNACHI launches the world's hottest message board. Bells and whistles like never before, all designed to give member users insane SEO advantages.

[Dick Cheney]

Nick Will that include the ability to control an inspection remote control helicopter directly from the new improved Nachi site? And will I be able to control my helicopter from all the other 250 million Nachi websites?

[Nick Gromicko]

Where did you get that 250 million websites thing? Are you making things up again?

[Dick Cheney]

Okay I hate it when I under exaggerate a number quoted by you Nick. Its not 250 Million websites its 260 Million Websites. Post 21 Censorship

I won't sell them any advertising space. I won't let them even have banner ads on our 260 million page website. I won't take money for ads in www.nachi.org/iqfall2008.htm I won't let them buy prominence over their competitors in www.InspectorMALL.com I beat the hell out of them and make them give our members exclusive discounts that non-members can't get anywhere else. If I catch them, even once, offering the same deal to a non-member (and yes we anonymously audit them), I ban them from all InterNACHI sites forever (they have to explain to ASHI members why they can't give as good a deal as they give to InterNACHI members). I won't let them run ads on www.nachi.org/chaptersites.htm or www.InspectorLocator.com or www.InspectorNOW.com or www.CorrectInspect.com or www.FindanInspector.us or www.InspectorSEEK.com or www.OverSeeIt.com or any of the other 4,500 sites we control. I won't let buy ads on this message board either.

That's pages, ***** for brains.

[Nick Gromicko]

Dick you are correct. I misspoke. Let me give you the correct stats:

NACHI.org is 230,000 pages long.
NACHI.org gets close to 300 million hits/year.
All websites under our control total 4,500 +.
All webpages under our control total 430,000,000 to 610,000,000 (about 500 million). Too many to actually count by any method I have available.

The last stat is the most impressive considering that there are only 50,000,000,000 (50 billion) pages on the internet.

[Dick Cheney]

Can you validate those numbers? Even 230k is high.

This from Selfseo.com http://www.selfseo.com/search_engines_index_report.php :

Below is the search engine index report for www.nachi.org

Obviously they index fewer pages than exist.

Yahoo indexed 200,824.
Alta Vista indexed 217,000.

You can check your own site and other association sites if you like by going to http://www.selfseo.com/search_engines_index_report.php

You will find that www.nachi.org is the largest inspection related website in the world, by far.

[Dick Cheney]

But those thousands of webpages are a far cry from the 260 million. My website indicates that I have 560 webpages indexed. Obviously I don't have 560 pages on my website but rather something around less than 20 pages. So to suggest that indexed webpages are actual pages is misleading in my opinion.

[Nick Gromicko]

Uh, no. I'm not adding up all the search engines like selfseo does. If I did that it be even more (531,824 pages). I'm only looking at individual engines indexed pages. Basically one can assume that a site has at least as many pages as any one search engine has indexed.

Again from selfseo.com:

Yahoo indexed 200,824.
Alta Vista indexed 217,000.

My site has 12 pages, but selfseo.com has me with over 3,100 "indexed" pages.

I think your interpretation of this data may not be correct.

[Nick Gromicko]

I'll find out if there is another way to list all the page URL's at www.nachi.org. We are moving servers and so I know we have about 230,000. I'll try to figure out a way to prove it. You are correct in that these page counting sites inflate the #'s.
