keywords in the domain do help - I'm pretty sure spam is filtered by  
other means too - like hiding text, too much repetition, 'spam-like'  
terms. As well as inbound links (which I reckon won't be a problem),  
in my experience the best plan is to have well-constructed and  
machine-readable semantic markup with genuine  and regularly-updated  
content.

Since we now have a domain, maybe the topic's over?

Webmastering & hosting, anyone? I'm willing to pitch in.
