If you're like me you probably want to work how many visitors your competitors are getting. Of course they're not going to tell you so you need to find it elsewhere.
The trouble is that this info isn't available although Hitwise comes close, but considering the price it ought to.
So what...
I'm afraid you're wrong George. The vast majority of domain registrars are dealing with so many expiring domains that they could not possibly pick and choose the good ones. It's possible that the smaller companies are doing this but I doubt it as it can be quite tricky to monetarise an expired...
After many years using the phpDesigner package (which used to be free but which I think now is paid) I've just bought the NuSphere phpIDE.
Having played with the 30 day free trial I was absolutely blown away but one really important but often overlooked feature. There's a built-in debugger...
Do a Google search for Comment Kahuna - I haven't used it - but I know it allows you to find and post (responsibly) on dofollow blogs.
It's free but you'll need to sign up to a Internet marketers list to get it but you can unsubscribe straight after.
Always, always, always register the .co.uk version of your .com domain name because if you don't someone else will.
I know from personally experience that someone will sneak and grab the domain and will either park it with ads on it, use it to attack you or will use it to trade on your name...
I don't want to be accused of spamming the forum so I'll only post the other 2/3s of the list if people ask for it. I couldn't post it all as there's a restriction on the size of the posts that you can make.

Did you know that it's possible to find domain names that have been registered by someone else which have been allowed to lapse. Often these domain names have inbound links pointing to them which means if you put a site up you'll get instant traffic !
I've been using this technique to build...
I've got the domain name CleverPresents.co.uk which would, in my opinion, provide a good home for an affiliate site selling tech related gadgets.
I've not the time to do anything with it so if anyone would like to use, make me an offer via PM. It's registered for just under 2 years with 1&1...
Just got my entry up and running ! I've never entered an SEO contest before so this is going to be really interesting - I'm hoping to learn a great deal from this.
Iv'e had similar experiences and have used a similar tool (Offline Explorer, I think).
Only problem was that the absolute paths in the files were re-written so I had to do a search and replace across all of the files. It'll take a while to do.
However, it might be worth simply ditching the...
Interesting site that although I had a good laugh at the Alexa data that it quoted for one of my sites:
"rank 2.3 million - this site has little or no traffic"
Really ? It did 32,000 pages yesterday equivalent to just under one million per month. Just shows how skewed the data is that Alexa...
Another way to do it (that would require some coding) would be log the time and IP address of each submission of the contact us form into a database.
Before actually sending the email check to see if the same IP has used the form before. If they have, and it's above a threshold (say 5)...
AdWords is well worth using for two reasons.
Firstly, if you're selling a product or a service (or someone elses via an affiliate scheme) it can be an excellent source of traffic so long as the numbers stack up (cost per click and average conversion).
Secondly, if you're researching...
Where it will make a difference is if the users selects to search just within their own country.
For example, I run a couple of successful .com's that are hosted in the US but which target the UK. I recently moved the .co.uk versions of these off of the US server and put them on a UK-based...
To Google, the domain age is important as has been said above. However the most important factor is how long content has been on the site.
To find this out go to Archive.org and search for the domain name. If it has been hosted then you should be able to see what it looked like over the...
Not too sunny OldWelshGuy at the moment and neither is Abercynon !
Long time since we met. Did anything ever happen with that project of Terry's that we met about two years ago ?
Hello everyone, new member from Wales here.
I've been using the web since 1994 and making money using it since around 2000 using a range of sites: a community site (16,000+ members), an Ebay affiliate site that earns enough to cover the mortgage each month and my latest site which allows you...
