which is the real tracy tools website I'm not sure since the one I
thought was the real one has enough errors to make me wonder.

I've dealt with the first website

www.tracytools.com

before without problems, the 2nd one looks dodgy.

Second one seems to have gone away....

According to the Netcraft Toolbar, www.tracytools.com has been
registered since Mar, 2002 and is hosted by General Pacific, Inc, in the
US. The site shows actual content, contact information, and a tool
catalog.

Traceytools.com, on the other hand, is almost 5 years newer, and has no
actual content - the entire page is referral-based advertizing links.
Pretty clear to me that this is classic "domain squatter registering an
easily misspelled name" tactic. If they get hits, they get paid. I
wouldn't trust any site that does that, and would be extremely cautious
with anyone they affiliate with. Every one of those links goes to
"searchportal.information.com". Not a tool in sight.

Stealth Pilot quickly quoth:

www.tracytools.com

This is the UK tap and die maker.


www.traceytools.com

This is the paid-advertising site put up by the PTBs to make money.
The gods of the Internet allow it while there is no real site owner of
that name and in between owners. I abhor this practice, don't you?
Tell the registrar you dislike it. Better yet, have Tracy buy it so
it also mirrors their site. They'll get the misspellers who would want
to do business with them anyway.

I doubt it, but anything is possible.

See:

Then see: www.traceytools.com

I thought the style was familiar, I'll bet it's a site-in-a-box.
