Intersting idea Ed. Or perhaps Patrick can think about which
words are so likely to attract attention and he mentions in a
subsequent post that his client or friend is famous. So may I
suggest that if it is the name that attracts and is something
likely to be searched, you use a different name for the draft
site:
Instead of
<h1 style="font-size: 1000%;">The Queen of England</h1>
why not:
<h1 style="font-size: 1000%;">Roger Rabbit's Wife</h1>
or... um (even less likely to attract attention):
<h1 style="font-size: 1000%;">The NeeuQ of Dnalgne"</h1>
