Sneaky trick MessageOne great way to use a stable of domain names you aren't using is to build traffic to diverse keywords associated with them and put the links everywhere, then point all the domains to one focus site as a subdomain or pointer.It's interesting to study... - Sat Nov 4 07:07:01 2006:

Cashing_in_on_a_name CommentThings in the domain world are going to get more competitive.

Auction sites MessageWhat auction sites do you use? I used namewinner until it turned into Snapnames. And I like Pool but it could get unsteady. Also it does not remit a sustainable keyword search record over time just the latest searches.... - Fri Nov 3 22:03:39 2006:

Why_so_few_blogs CommentBlogs are good for statements and commentary when you want a select group to join the debate. It's good when you want a narrow topic but not the work of an entire forum. One problem I hate about blogs is that when you find a new one they demand you... - Fri Nov 3 21:51:40 2006:
Proof_Reading CommentI wish more people would. What makes it worse is when people use really old formats and really old styles and then try to jazz up the site with language.
