Hi Elliot, here’s the answer to your question about bar.com — one thing that happened during that “toggling” period is that bar.com got itself banned by Google. I’m not really sure what caused that, but I decided to remove a variable so I went to a traditional “forward the domain to DotZup” approach rather than gucking it up with my little PHP script. Since the drinking-bar stuff is what’s behind the domain by default at DotZup, that’s what there.
If anybody knows a good approach to putting a domain back into Google’s good graces, let me know! 🙂
