Congrats on the acquisition and the sale. It would be nice to see this place pick up again in terms of quality.

Why 3 weeks? I thought they said weeks to months? How do you know it'll happen in 3 weeks? I'm very curious to see how this will affect some sites.

Lol privatejet.com for 30M. When I read about that, and the Russian guy who bought it, I thought it was a joke. Good deal for the seller.

I just saw you submitted your proxy list to ProxySites.net. This is not a good way to promote your list. I have banned you from posting any more sites in the future from the list...

I agree with TinaGolden.

It's really easy in curl to grab the website and check it for a string. I'm sure you could get some cheap coder to do it for $20 or something

Just add their google adsense publisher ID to the string blacklist to get rid of these. I find that method works best.

I added this a few weeks to a server of mine and the css quit being displayed on a few sites. I quickly turned it off and haven't looked back. Maybe in the future I'll look at it again.

I currently had the itch to launch a proxy, and did so with Vobas.

The proxy url is Unblock Websites with Vobas.com!, and it does have ssl which you can access at https://www.vobas.com

I don't see the value in that domain. Live the TV? Is that live as in live TV, or I live for TV? Grammatically it doesn't make much sense to me. It would be worth registration fee in my eyes.

Ah I was wondering why it wasn't working. And no, I'm not relying on that at all, just an extra benefit.

The site gets thousands of visitors a day as it is now.

I find for every 40,000 visitors Google sends, Yahoo sends about 2,000. While in the same time period Bing send 4,500. If you asked me, I definitely value the traffic from those two sites.

I looked at that but wasn't able to see how it could cause the issue I'm having. Can you go into that a bit more please?

Thanks

The awstats log shows hundreds of the errors. The errors happen from many different IPs. I am confident it's not hackers or whatever trying to exploit anything.

Very interesting. I wonder how this is going to affect CTR, and overall earnings.

I spose it's in Google's best interest to increase CTR. And they're some dudes I'd want working for me ;)

I would suggest simply renewing them in advance, and not waiting until the last couple days.

It's ridiculous that someone would blatantly steal someones design, and even copy writing, and use it as their own to directly compete.

I see you at #20 here.

There's no real way to be 100% sure of any search volume unless you force your way into the top results and track the views.

I think you should correct that "MILLER.COM" to be what it actually is "JMILLER.COM" which is quite a bit less valuable than the former.

Try this one out: phurl - Project Hosting on Google Code

Yea, I checked and no domains were available. To actually build a site from nothing and attempt to SEO for a misspelled copyrighted term is asking for trouble.

Good luck with the site. I was going to register that domain, as it was my first pick but it was taken. I settled with Bike Racing Games - Homepage

Maybe we can exchange some links or something

Do you have any experience with Drupal module development? I'd like to have a pretty simple Drupal module written.

Hah yea, as they say..the early bird gets the worm.

What do you think, Bike Racing Games - Homepage ?

10 minutes worth of work.

You what?


Also, if someone hasn't taken this available domain drop me a message. I'd be interested in seeing if it could be monetized.

No I didn't change anything permanently. I temporarily changed the border to white, but that brought out the border way too much. So I switched that back.
