Doom and gloom

Stevio — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:52:08 +0000

Sadly things over the last month haven’t improved too much, as things are still not going too well. My attempts to sell a directory haven’t been successful. There was some interest and some offers, but unfortunately nothing acceptable. Adsense revenue continues to fluctuate. On some days it’s so small you wonder whether putting Adsense on your websites [...]

Should we trust online reviews?

Stevio — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:27:20 +0000

Last week I decided to get a new television after hearing about one being on sale at Argos. Like most buyers, I read the reviews written by customers on Argos’ website. There were hardly any negativity over the item, only some complaints over the sound being tinny. So I went ahead and purchased the 22″ [...]

Three directories sold

Stevio — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 23:20:44 +0000

It has been a while since my last post, again. Not good. Since the end of May things have been up and down. I did after all offload a few of the directories I had. Managed to make a little profit on them, but not much. I still have two left, one of which is now [...]

New Godaddy coupon

Stevio — Fri, 29 May 2009 10:26:51 +0000

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 [...]

Directory frustrations

Stevio — Fri, 22 May 2009 23:22:59 +0000

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 [...]

Stop Spam!

Stevio — Wed, 20 May 2009 12:46:14 +0000

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 [...]

Making Progress

Stevio — Tue, 19 May 2009 11:51:55 +0000

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 [...]

Web development frustrations

Stevio — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:40:32 +0000

One of the frustrating parts of web development is knowing which way to create a website. For example, I have a pretty good domain and the content, I’m just not sure on exactly how to continue. Should I use a script or should I create a static site? Decisions, decisions. Of course, it’s a pretty good [...]

Twitter

Stevio — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 01:37:54 +0000

I’ve been using Twitter since September and so far I’m still a little baffled by it. My account is mainly regarding the latest goings on at Tottenham Hotspur, which hasn’t been good this season. I mainly post bits of Spurs news or opinions, or even sometimes something in general, that part of Twitter is good, but I’ve [...]

A bit of love from Godaddy

Stevio — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 09:08:20 +0000

In these times of having to watch those pennies, Godaddy have brought a little joy to the domaining world by creating the code ‘LOVE99′. What does it do? Well I guess it’s Godaddy’s equivalent of giving you a hug, or something like that. You can register a domain for just $1.19c. I’ve already snapped up [...]
