   I just set up and configured W3TC and now when I type in my website's url, there is about an 8 second pause, and then when it finally shows up, I see ?doing_wp_cron after the main url.

   Anyone know what that is? Thanks

   My website is http://www.marketstreetinsuranceservices.com

   W3 Total Cache doesn't matter.
   Probably that string there was also before you activated the plugin...
   The cause of that string is surely the boolean constant you edited in the WP-Config.php file. You added this:
   define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true);

   It is the alternative wp cron (http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Alternative_Cron) you probably activated for some reasons. For example I activated it because I'm on Windows and the normal "cron" doesn't work.
   The cron is simply the process that wordpress does to publish scheduled posts.

   Okay, is that a problem then? Or should I just keep everything as is? I think I actually threw that code into my wp-config because of my backup plugin.

   Yes.
