		<description>Jordan - Definitely. I didn&#039;t have any kind of web presence before we started ScorchedSheets. My first title wasn&#039;t published until the middle of this year, and though I had bought the domain, I hadn&#039;t done anything with it. When Em and I decided to do the shared site, it made sense to keep the domain and redirect it to SS, but there isn&#039;t any history to the eliselogan.com domain. Also, Em&#039;s been doing this a lot longer than I have, so she&#039;s definitely got the edge on me. lol. 

Truthfully, I haven&#039;t been promoting my domain specifically, I&#039;ve been doing more with SS as a whole site. We are getting decent traffic and I&#039;m hoping that people are enjoying the serials. When we put it up, it seemed like an unusual idea, particularly for romance authors.</description>

		<description>Elise&#8212;that&#039;s a great point! If you do go that route, or if anyone ever needs to redirect a domain like that, be sure to use the 301 - redirect permanently option (which should be pretty easily available in domain control if you&#039;re just redirecting the whole domain). This transfers link equity in search engines&#039; eyes.

But for some reason, your domain didn&#039;t show up in search engines when I typed in your name. (Emily&#039;s did.) Are you two doing anything differently with promoting those domains?</description>

		<description>Jordan and Kathleen,

Thank you so much for taking the time to review our site and make such thoughtful suggestions. We appreciate what you&#039;re doing. 

As far as sharing sites, I don&#039;t know if you mentioned, but both Emily and I have our own domains (eliselogan.com for me) which redirect to the main page of scorchedsheets. I would say if you are going to have a shared site and not maintain a sep. site, it is really helpful to have these directed individual domains. That way, as you mentioned, if someone types in eliselogan.com they get where I want them to go. 

Again, thank you for the suggestions!</description>
