Google keywords ranking in terms of words

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 03:58:00 PST

Many has asked me does the order of your words in the domain affect your ranking on search engines?

Well I will use my DomainGeo.com for an example in rankings.

Using Google Search:

Geo Domain - ranked 33

Domain Geo - ranked 1

Using Yahoo Search:

Geo Domain - ranked 7

Domain Geo - ranked 1

Conclusion is it does, but maybe not by a high margin, on average on a low demand keyword it will be a page difference.

The difference will be bigger if there's a higher demand for the keywords, this is explained by more websites using it and they're higher ranking than you.

It's still better to get the domain that is in the right order, but if it's not possible it's a nice alternative, although most will have little resale value.

Way round Godaddy forcing privacy renewal

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 18:17:00 PDT

As it has been a year on now my domains that had privacy free by Godaddy is up for renewals.

I have got around a hundred domain to renew this month, so I did and to my surprise the price doubled! why? because the renewal is fixed on Godaddy's checkout and there's no way to take it off, getting a bit worried thinking maybe I will have to drop most of them.

Then I did some research and found nobody has the answer, so I did some experiment and worked it out. Here it is :

First you have to cancel your privacy registration with domainsbyproxy.com

they would have sent you an email when you reg the domain, giving you your id, but as most people like me would have deleted the email.

Don't worry if you did, because all you have to do is to click forgot id on the log in page on domainsbyproxy.com and you can retrieve your id by entering the domain name, and they will send an email to you again.

After you cancelled the privacy registration with them, on Godaddy's checkout privacy reg will not be forced on you.

Being unsatisfied with the ready made answer, which doesn't solve my problem, I replied with this:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am not from any of these countries listed and I always pay via Paypal.
if you check my account, I just done a order on 12th March without any problems at all, I had been ordering from you with the same information for the last two years. and now I have got "Unable to process purchase",
here's the url

Thank you for your help.

Without an answer for 12hrs, and as I am getting desperate to renew my domains, I had decided to call America, to my surprise they have got a helpline with a UK number.

So I called up, although the two customer service had no idea what's the problem, they forwarded the problem to the technical guys.

After an other 12 hours I got this e-mail :

Support Staff Response

Dear Takwa,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The issue has been addressed and should be resolved at this time. If you continue to experience problems please let us know and we would be happy to assist you further. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this matter.

Please let us know if we can help you in any other way.

Problem solved, don't know if it was because of my e-mails or phone calls, still don't know what was the problem.

I point I am trying to get at is not that they have problems, as I accept most companies would at some point.

I just doesn't like their email support, where the first person just answered my question, without even checking out my problem.

The phone call was very supportive, although I doubt they helped, as I noticed their knowledge of the Godaddy's system is generally very low, but I gave me a feeling that at least it is going somewhere.

I greatly support their phone in system, 100% positive psychological feedback, all big reputable companies should have both phone and email support, giving their customers assurance when needed.

Yahoo Mail Errors Running Slow Solution

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:42:00 PDT

In recent months, I haven't been able to use my Yahoo Mail, reasons being it's too slow to load up.

It usually takes 10 minutes to load up the mail or won't load up at all, so don't even think about sending mails or downloading attachments.

My Yahoo Mail is my main Email account, so I am not looking for an alternative provider.

There is a way round it to read mail, just go to Yahoo Mail

However you can't download attachments there.

Hope Yahoo will sort out this problem soon.

After receiving loads of scams like this in the post, this is an e-mail version at it's worst.

The domain in question does not even belong to me, it doesn't even expire on the 24th June.

Anyone with any domain experience will not fall for it.

Their 10 years deal is realy great, reduced from $75 to a mere $29.5 a year.

Sad reality is people do fall for this type of scam, if not they won't keep trying.

Funny thing is that after payment, the domain won't even renew.

ICANN should step up and take action against this type of con.

I checked the ICANN website and apparently they do not deal with spam mails, so I guess nobody is adressing this problem.

P.S. I blocked the domain name just in case it belongs to someone innocent.

Adsense for domain results

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:04:00 PDT

3 months ago I left 20 domains on to the Adsense for domain program.

And here 's the result, avg 10,000 views 1 click and 10 cent a month.

I think this was due to the low quality layout and page format Google is providing.

Conclusion is that I am out until there is better improvement.

Lost year on transfers of recently renewed domain names

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 07:36:00 PDT

Been buying, selling and transferring domains for years and this was new.

Did you know that if you renew a domain and transfer it to another registrar within 45days, even your new registrar said they give you a year renewal, there chance is chance that it won't happen, and you will only end up with one year renewed instead of two.

I remember transferring a renewed domain and it never happen before, until recently I bought a expiring domain and transferred it to Godaddy, I was charged by the seller for the renewal, and also by Godaddy for the transfer which promised a free year renewal.

Once everything was transferred, I noticed I got a year missing, done some research and guess what I found on Godaddy's transfer agreement, 4th paragraph

"4. TRANSFERS OF RECENTLY RENEWED DOMAIN NAMES
You understand that if You are transferring a domain name that has been recently renewed, there is the potential the renewal year will be lost. The renewal year will be lost if: (i) the domain name was renewed during the forty-five (45) day grace period after the expiration date had passed; and (ii) forty-five (45) days have not yet passed since that expiration date. You understand and agree that Go Daddy is not responsible for this lost year and that Go Daddy will not credit that year to Your domain. You will need to review the registration agreement You have with Your previous registrar to determine if You are due a refund or credit for the lost year. Please contact Your previous registrar if You have any questions about the lost year. You understand and agree that Go Daddy will not intervene in the recovery of any such lost registration years that occur during the transfer of Your domain name."

Well I can't take it up with the previous registrar since I wan't the owner then, and also the amount was too little to chase, well just a note for the future

Changing Blogspot sidebar from left to right

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:24:00 PDT

As many of you might have found that the standard templates given by Blogger are either left sidebar or right.

What if you love this template, but want the sidebar on the other side, well here's a very simple solution, which just takes a minute of your time.

Here's how.

1) select "Layout" and "Edit html"

2) search for "main-wrapper" in the coding

3) next to where it said "float: "$endSide;" change it to "float: $startSide;"

4) search for "sidebar-wrapper" in the coding

5) next to where it said "float: "$startSide;" change it to "float: $endSide;"

Some templates might have "left" instead of "$startSide;", so all you do is change the "left" into right.

So if you want to change from right sidebar to left just do the steps in reverse.

ebay Partner Network Quality Click Pricing

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 04:45:00 PDT

Ebay had changed their sale commission based payment to a quality click system on 1st October 2009.

What does this mean and how is it affecting your revenue?

Well, it just means affiliates will not be paid per sale, instead per click based on traffic quality.

Quality based on their “third party’s” program, and the clicks leading to a sale.

So are you going to get paid less? According to ebay’s FAQ the average Joe should be earning his average revenue, or maybe even more!

It has been a week since they moved me to the new system, as I am not one of the big players that get to keep using the commission system.

And have I got my average dollar per week? No I got zero from only 1 click? Where previously I get an average of 10 clicks per day?

Something must be going really wrong here.

Domain Accounting Treating Domain Purchase in Account

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 02:48:00 PDT

Most domain traders confuse on the classification of their domains, should domain purchase be on the balance sheet or in as expense?

Well this is a grey area, and no separate tax rule made for it, so you can treat it like a car dealer.

Here's how it can be done, I am not saying it’s 100% correct, be it’s generally accepted for UK, I am sure it’s very similar in other countries, but you should check the tax rules there first.

Method 1 (complicated method)

Balance Sheet:

Investment Asset: domains that I had done a site for and giving me ad revenue.

Stock: a stocktake/valuation of my domains at year end date (note does not include the ones already accounted for in investment asset)

Profit and Lost:

Sales: proceeds from sale of websites and domains

Cost of sales: Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock

Gross profit: Net proceeds from sales

Then other income: revenue from parking and advertising and other income (i.e. web design)

Expenses: hosting, transfer fees, commissions, renewal fees for fix asset, etc

Method 2 (simple method)

Same as method one, but without the stock, so all purchases will go in as a cost of sale.

The simple method is more suited to a small domain trader, as their stock held is not significant.

Which earn more? Left side or right side ads?

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:56:00 PDT

With the ongiong debate about which side to put your ads left or right.

I had a little experiment myself, and here is the result

Views Clicks CTR CPM Earnings
August stats (left side ads)
Blog 1 25,301 315 1.25% £0.64 £16.15
Blog 2 481 11 2.29% £9.45 £4.55
Blog 3 6,323 485 7.67% £2.28 £14.39
Blog 4 902 17 1.88% £3.22 £2.91

September stats (right side ads)
Blog 1 28,765 410 1.43% £0.63 £18.18
Blog 2 533 5 0.94% £0.46 £0.25
Blog 3 7,941 278 3.50% £1.40 £11.08
Blog 4 988 20 2.02% £3.77 £3.73

As you can see the results varies between different, but it does look in a bit favour to the left in revenue wise.

In conclusion, the left hand side ads does get more notice, but the right had side ads is where most users kept their mouse point, so I guess they cancel each other out.

I feel that different placement of ads suits different sites, I would be happy getting a 3% click through rate, so if your site do an average of 3 to 5 %, I won;t try and change anything.

Beware DHL-USA delivery email virus

noreply@blogger.com (Dream) — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:48:00 PST

Recently received an e-mail from delivery@dhl-usa.com asking for me to pick up a parcel, they included a file with the wrong postal address.

I didn't open it as it's a zip file, further reasearch showed that it's a fraudulent email, with the virus Infostealer.Banker.C virus attached.

DHL had already published a post warning users of this, here is a link:

http://www.dhl-usa.com/custserv/servicealert.asp?id=1

And here's the email they sent me:
