Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

Posted by Stevio in Business on October 28th, 2006

It just shows how easy it is to lose your Adsense account. For example, someone on a forum revealed to losing their account due to his ex-wife!

He said: “I lost my Google Adsense account last month, due to my X-wife clicking on my ads in another site and resulting in my account becoming closed. Good lesson here guys.

“The SOB’s kept my $6,700+ when they closed my account. And after I filed two appeals in this case. If I was making this much with Adsense why the hell would I be clicking on my own ads for a few pennies? (but they didn’t care). Oh well…”

It makes you wonder if Adsense are more interested in closing accounts regardless of whether the account owner is innocent or not. If the latter is true, it is very very sad.

Recommendation: Don’t use Registerfly!

Posted by Stevio in Domain Names on October 27th, 2006

If you’ve been on Namepros you’ll know full well how bad a reputation Registerfly has. I’ve used them for a couple of years and for the most part had no problems. Today though I’m stuck trying to transfer a domain out to Godaddy, but can’t, simply because the authorisation code is ‘not valid’. Why that is I don’t know! Godaddy tell me to ask Registerfly for a new one, which I have, thing is Registerfly’s support is nowhere to be seen. So now I have a domain expiring and have no choice but to renew at Registerfly.

I’m really not happy with Registerfly - a company with no support is of no use to me nor of use to anyone, therefore I recommend anyone considering using them to think twice, as you’re best off saving yourself from the irritation than saving a mere few dollars.

footy-live.com sold for $64,000?

Posted by Stevio in Business on October 21st, 2006

I’m amazed to see footy-live.com sell for $64,000 on SitePoint. Even though it supposedly makes $16,000 a month, the long term future of these types of sites are certainly questionable due to the legality of providing such services. The fact they charge people to access feeds which are already free, I find very strange. The ironic thing is they even sport Adsense ads on the site, surely this is against their terms and conditions?

.ASIA is on its way

Posted by Stevio in Domain Names on October 20th, 2006

ICANN have approved the .ASIA extension and domains will apparently be available to register in six to nine months time.

I know for one I won’t be interested in the extension, although I’m sure there’s plenty who will. Like the .EU extension (or .EW as I prefer!), I’m cautious over new extensions. I’m sure whatever happens .COM will continue to dominate the domains market.
