Brainerd Guide Service has NO association with Walleye Dan's guide service "My Experience with Redirects" Oh what a little "s" can do.. The purpose of this page is not to attract business, or create confusion, but rather to educate others so, hopefully, they won’t experience the same situation. When I first purchased the URL, www.brainerdguide.com, I should have purchased www.brainerdguides.com too. They were both available at the time. Several years later, someone bought www.brainerdguides.com. They used it for several years, but eventually dropped it when they sold their Brainerd business. I had the chance to buy the URL once again last spring, but It was at the start of the guiding season, I was busy, and I just simply forgot. I was totally unaware the new owner of www.brainerdguides.com, would turn the URL into an automatic redirect. So I've written this webpage to inform my customers. I've opted not to put anyone's business logos, or telephone numbers, on the page. That includes mine. This is not about gaining new business, or trying to confuse others, I just hope that website owners to realize; when you buy a website URL for your business, try to buying all the obvious extensions. Otherwise you'll run the risk of waking up one morning and finding your competition sitting on a webpage that uses a URL, similar to yours, as a redirect.   John Blong Brainerd Guide Service WWW.BRAINERDGUIDE.COM (Without the extra S)    Not Walleye* - Dan's Guide Service - Copyright © 2006 by Brainerd Guide Service - Not Walleye* - Dan's Guide Service.
