Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I'm very much interested in this question as well. Someone told me that small words such as 'in' are stop words and as such ignored by Google and that [painters texas] would be the same as [painters in texas]. But in that case, why does Google's keyword tool give such different exact results for these 2 phrases? Anyone else got any input on this? Thanks

Thanks Christopher. Sorry I'm not quite sure what the code you have supplied is for? My site currently works fine with or without the 'www' - but does the code you have supplied acheive something else? thanks d

Thanks all very much for your help - great advice. D
