No Follow or Do Follow?

No follow or Do follow? it’s not a 50/50 toss of a coin guess.  I came accross these webmaster specific “follow” terms, not so long ago. I have since then read, researched and tested enough advice, to know the baseless crap in most. So I took a different approach and stopped seeking advice from others and went onto use my own thinking.

Here’s my thought process….

One Character .BIZ Domain Names

One character .BIZ domain names are scheduled to be auctioned at Sedo later this month. There has been some discussion over this and the majority of the domain community seem to think that the auction will flop. Nevertheless, there are only 36 of them. So the extreme rarity of these names could be a real tempter.

Overstock.com has already won the O.biz through the RFP process and intends to launch a B2B site at this domain name. Rest of the names which are not claimed through RFP process will go on auction at Sedo on 23rd September 2009.

Sell Domains – A New Stratergy To Explore Selling Domains

So you wanna explore new methods to sell domains. Before you jump into conclusions, this is a totally experimental method that I’m currently “trying” to adopt. So if you’re looking for proven tactics for selling domains or developped websites, this may not be for you. On the other hand if you feel adventurous and want to try new ideas you might want to hang in for a few more minutes. Either way, let me thank you first for popping by.

Expired Domain Hunting

What Should Change In Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka the pearl of the Indian ocean, once self sufficient with produce within the country, now in debt to the most part of the world. What exactly should change in Sri Lanka? Well, this is my humble attempt to answer the very same question. It is utterly depressing to see a nation with higher standards of education and cultural values, struggle to reform and develop the country. It is also very sad to see the short sighted opportunists thrive in all areas of Sri Lanka’s economy, where they blindfoldedly deny the future of their own children.

The current situation in North/East provinces is fragile and blurd. With the focus of the world being elsewhere, the progress of the North after war is minute and minimum. Have we forgotten the values of life? Some reports suggest there are 1400 deaths each week in internment camps. Only a fraction of 300,000 misplaced prople have been settled so far. Surely the attitude towards refugees in the camps has to change, so does the pace of settling people back in their homes. By no means can we forget the root causes of the long lasted friction between different ethnicities. Love and respect for each other have been overwhelmed with hatred and mistrust. Is it not time we trusted each other and develop some respect for others? Younger generations have to be taught the importance of coexisting rather than differences within us. Sri Lankans as a nation must learn to tag ourselves only as Sri Lankans rather than the language spoken or religion observed.

My Online Social Networking

How about automating the whole bunch of it? But what’s the point if I’m just gonna pose like a robot to my friends and colleagues. Then again how on earth am I going to find time for all 64 of them (ok, I admit. 64 is bit exaggerated).

Looking back at my approach to social networking for marketing a blog, I found out that being a human on social networking sites has helped me gain some exposure. What I had done wrong was to become impatient with the ‘time consuming stratergy’. Now here’s the dilemma, I really want to build a quality network around me at the same time I don’t want to spend hours and hours on social sites. There is no way out… is there?

My Route To Success From Failure

Good job I had this domain lying around. A tough ride, has it been my journey online so far. But wait, I haven’t given up yet. Not just yet.

It has only been just over a year since I first started registering domain names. I’ve always had this dream, that someday I could make big money online working from home. It still is a dream, unfortunately. Let alone big money, I have so far managed only a mere $10 from adsense. So recently I set myself the duty to look back few months and learn from the mistakes I’ve been making, at the same time to keep a weblog of my system debugging.

My uncle always used to say “Failures are the pillars of success” a famous saying I guess. A friend of mine recently reminded this with a more humorous substitute “Failures are the pillars of utter failures”.  Although I laughed at the time it manged to stick to my mind and taunt me at times.
