  The joy of end users
Posted by: zach - 07-26-2006, 07:35 PM - Forum: Domain Discussion - Replies (7)

End user sales are really the heaven of domainers. If you sell to resellers, you sell below potential profit (unless the reseller badly judged the true value).

Check this out, AARS.org offer history: http://www.afternic.com/bidhist.php?id=1085721



[SIZE=2]I think that you will all agree that that is well overpriced for a reseller market. A 3 character .org (and this is a 4 character) goes for only $190 (reference: http://www.3character.com/priceguide.html).

The only gamble is whether an end user will ever come. In any case, there have been countless instances of a domain being bought right after a reseller aquired it!

  Unlimited Bandwidth??
Posted by: llegent - 07-26-2006, 11:21 AM - Forum: Web Hosting - Replies (17)

I often bump into host that offer "Unlimited" bandwidth! Is there really such a thing as unlimited?? Or it should be "Unmetered"?Rolleyes I understand that the philosophy behind the ideas of these 2 options are about the same, but there is always a possibility of user getting high sky bandwidth isn't it??:eek:

What do you think? Would there be some "catches" behind such "Unlimited" bandwidth plackage?Rolleyes

  Dotster $1 domain??!!
Posted by: llegent - 07-26-2006, 08:46 AM - Forum: Domain Companies - Replies (6)

GUYS!! Have you got the news :-

Quote: Dotster to Offer Domain at $1

[SIZE=2]Through its event 'Happy Hour' on 26 July 2006, the registrar will allow customers to purchase a .com, .net, or .org domain for $1 between July 27, 2006 and July 31, 2006.

[/SIZE]The coupon system limits customers to one domain at the discounted rate. A total of 1,000 coupons will be available during the hour.

I wonder what's the catch behind this??Rolleyes Is it that the renewal fees will be reverted to "high sky" price after 1year?

Anyone had actually go for this tremendous offer previously?? I heard the Dotster have such event regularly??:eek:

Hi

Our servers will be undergoing Kernel upgrades this week, starting tonight from 10pm. There might be slight downtime (a few minutes) as the server reboots and any problems are resolved.

Best

  Porn site dots
Posted by: vicki2 - 07-25-2006, 08:56 AM - Forum: Domain Discussion - Replies (14)

I read that there's a bill in the Senate which would require any site containing porn to change it's .com to a specific . which would denote it as containing unsuitable material for children. One, do you think it would work? Two, don't you suspect there would be umpteen ways of getting around the law?

  Wait lists?

Have you paid a fee to sign up for a wait list on domain names ...if they become available? I just wonder about whether a fee is worth it?

  Adsense.com history??
Posted by: llegent - 07-24-2006, 08:19 PM - Forum: Domain Discussion - Replies (8)

Ok guys, out of fun I typed in Adsense.com and was expecting to see it re-directed to google site or at least be within google's network. To my surprise, I reached at this :- Adsense Consulting! It stated that they have been online "Since 1995"

I browsed thru the site, and yet found another site of theirs :- Adsense2.com ! But...to my surprise again, it has nothing in relationship with google.com !! I don't even see Adsense on these 2 sites!!:eek:

I wonder if the owner had "gained" big bucks owning these 2 domains??:p

  Mass article submission to get backlinks?
Posted by: llegent - 07-24-2006, 07:53 PM - Forum: Search Engines and Marketing - Replies (39)

Hello there, I have re-visited those article and ezine directories sites that I had submitted all my articles into them about few months back. Yet, most webmasters would say that submitting articles to these sites will help to develop some nice one-way backlinks, and possibly gain some google PR.

Now, with few months pass, most of my articles are being "moved" into archived section in those directories. I understand that it is a common practise as these directories are having tones of new articles being submitted everyday, and they'll need to "clean" up some old data.

So now, with older articles being "pushed" into archived, I wonder if the "effect" of possible google PR gain still exist? or it would be better?:eek:
