Stumble it!

I would like to apologize about not posting anymore, but we are making behind the scene projects that I will be announced at the right time. I have been receiving and chatting with many of you guys, and I was thinking the following.

I would like to open a small membership site (per month) that I will provide some keyword research list on a certain niche every month twice. What do you think about it? Do you think it will be usefull for you? Some basic keyword research with more than 800 to 1500 keywords on each niche. Will need some opinions and suggestions.

A hint to Buying Established Sites

Date December 4, 2009

Stumble it!

A month ago, we have sold a site for $27,000. It is a well established website and well ranked on Google, Bing and Yahoo! But here is a funny note, the site owner still have the same banners (from our aff. links) and the same posts including affiliate links. With the site, I personally added a readme text file that say to remove the banners and the affiliate links from the post or replace it with the new site owner. Believe me or not they still did not changed. We are still having the same commissions from our ex-site. So here is a good hint:

When you buy a established site change banners & affiliate links! I was searching around to see if other sellers have the same “problem” or is just my buyer that is too lazy or busy to change it, here are some funny notes:

Company Admits That Employee Bid at SnapNames Domain Auctions for Years

Date November 11, 2009

Stumble it!

Few days ago received an email from Snapnames confirming that an employee has been bidding “secretly”, i.e, without corporate knowledge/approval, for years, apparently from 2005 onwards. The employee has been fired. According to Snapnames the employee participated in 5% of auctions since 2005/6.

The email’s content hasn’t been posted at the Snapnames “news” page, however SnapNames has posted a related FAQ here: http://www.snapnames.com/faq.html

Snapnames proposes to make payments, plus interest, in auctions in which the “secret employee bidder” participated. It will be interesting to see exactly how this is worked out as the participation of any one person, at auction, can have a variety of effects. Outcomes are not always a matter of “the last 2 people bidding”. For example, some folks may withdraw from an auction simply based upon the number of people bidding at the outset, i.e., thinking there’s just too much interest. Others may have withdraw based upon seeing a certain nickname in the auction, under the “Oh no! Not him again! He always bids things up!”
