New Godaddy coupon

Posted by Stevio in Coupons, Domain Names on May 29th, 2009

There’s a pretty good Godaddy coupon where you can not only renew a .info domain for $7.19, but you can also register a new .info for ‘free’. Well I say free, but there’s still the 20c ICANN charge to pay.

It’s still a pretty good deal, especially if like me you have loads of .info domains and still register lots of new ones.

I’ve already renewed one and registered one, and set to do more later today.

The coupon code is gdr0517c and it expires June 4th.

Directory frustrations

Posted by Stevio in My Network on May 22nd, 2009

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I recently bought some directories. In addition to those, I registered some domains and set up a couple more.

So far the two I bought are getting quite a few submissions a day, however, rather frustratingly, the submissions don’t adhere to the rules.

Why is it people don’t read rules before submitting? I find it crazy. I know I always do prior to submitting, as otherwise it’s a waste of time.

In addition to that irritation, I’ve noticed a couple of times people submitting the same site but on different domains. Do people think that directory owners have such bad memories they won’t notice? Again, crazy.

So, so far running these directories isn’t too much fun. If people can follow the rules, I’m sure things will be fine, otherwise, I guess I’ll just have to sell them.

Stop Spam!

Posted by Stevio in My Network on May 20th, 2009

As well as developing domains, I’ve also been redeveloping some of my neglected sites. Unfortunately, some are in quite a state due to the amount of spam they’ve received. Why did this happen? Simple, there was no protection to prevent these morons’ scripts from submitting their pornography, diet, and pharmacy drivel.

One site’s database is something like 95% full of spam, which is making it horrendous to pluck out the actual real content.

I know there’s no excuse, even if these sites are small and receive little traffic. I should have sorted better protection out, like now I know that just adding a bit of code to ask a question on submission does the trick.

So if you have a site that has unprotected submission forms, best get them protected straight away!

Making Progress

Posted by Stevio in My Network on May 19th, 2009

Well it has been two months since my last post, and there’s been lots of ups and downs, but I’m making progress.

Despite yet another health problem, I managed to work through it and develop a few domains.

I’ve even managed to buy a few websites too. Admittedly, nothing major, just a few cheap small content sites and directories.

I got accepted into Adsense in April, and so far I have to admit, I’m disappointed with the earnings made. I don’t expect much, especially as the few sites I have online have little traffic, but when you see clicks at 1c, well, it’s disheartening.

I’m going to look for alternative revenue sources, I’m not sure what yet, but I’ll more than likely test run a few networks.

So, so far so good.
