    As owner of the thread, if you edit the title, it will change the google results. Be creative with your title to let curious buyers know. ;)

    Another experiment to try, put your term in google, then put it in DuckDuckGo. The result may surprise you.

    I'm completely open to suggestions. Personally when I managed a couple company webpages, I couldn't figure out how to promote a site. Could barely get it to come up with a direct domain name search.

    I'm confused. It looks nearly identical?

    My suggestion was a general one. I didn't do the search, just wanted to point out that "Google" searches are often manipulated for whatever reason. Yours is likely an exception, not the general rule.

    Not really a business. No business listing on Gmaps either, whether searching on the name or at the address listed.

    Pretty much thee best example of what the TW vendor requirements are there for.

    I just did what you said. Haha!


    Search is an algorithm. All are manipulated to some extent. I generally stick with Google, but I have been displeased with some stuff in the past. Still overall, they have treated me better than MS and Apple with the full understanding that everyone is mining the data no matter what.

    :cheers:

    Oregon’s SOS site is different than what I’m used to. Doesn’t state if LLC or something else. She has filed an assumed business name but that’s all I found with a quick search.

    Interesting. So, this might all be biz tax free to boot?

    Better title?

    Good thing they didn't name it the Toyota Puyallup (city next to Tacoma). People struggle even trying to say that one.

    Weren't the pre-Tacomas called "P'ups"... or am I confusing them with some Mitsubishi creation? Or just old and forgetful?

    I think Isuzu had that also.

    Were the old Toyota t100's? I can't remember either

    Pre-Tacomas were always just "pickups" where I live - no silly contractions or anything.

    The T100 was Toyota's "full size" (but marketed as a small-fullsize) back when Tacomas were still compact. My neighbor has a '98 and it's pretty much the same size as my Tacoma.

    I think both are true. I've had a T100, a first gen Tundra and now a 3rd gen Tacoma (among others)...they all seem to be roughly the same size.
    The first gen Tundra was about as perfect as a truck can get (imo).
