Who is Buying .Asia Domains?

1

I know of someone with a large portfolio of premium English keyword .asia domain names who is looking to sell.   Send me a note or comment and I will put you in touch.   I’m not a domain broker, but happy to connect interest parties.

Newburyport.com Logo

Just got the logo back for Newburyport.com from Mike and I dig it.   I should have a new site launched by the end of next week, as the articles are being written right now. I wanted to share the new design with you guys.   It maintains the look and feel of my other city .com domain names.

BTW… speaking of geodomains, check out Lahaina.com when you get a chance.   That’s a great looking site!

Discounted .IN Registrations

I get a load of emails advertising cheap registrations, but this seems like a very good deal on .IN domain names from Answerable.com (although I haven’t used them before). Jeff from Inforum.in discussed .in domains a couple of months ago, and TRAFFIC Amsterdam will be covering ccTLDs.

Discounted .IN and Third level .IN Domains
Make the most of our latest Answerable.com Promo that has just gone Live! We’re giving away both .IN and Third Level .IN Domains for just $5.99!
.IN is a great vanity TLD which is representative of the Internet as a whole. It is also mighty helpful in targeting the vast Indian geography. So what are you waiting for, cash in on this offer before it ends.

Note:

The promo is applicable for the first year of registration only. Thus, a two year .IN Domain registration will be billed as Promo Pricing + Regular Price for 1 year.
Renewals and Transfer-Ins will not attract promo pricing.
There are no restrictions on the number of domains that you can register during this period.

    Spam Tactic Bloggers Should Know About

    For those of you who run a blog, this might be of interest.   Someone posted a comment on my blog with a fairly unique nickname, which he uses in domain forums and other places. Having seen his “handle” before, I approved the comment after briefly reviewing it.

    Shortly after posting the comment, virtually the same comment came in with the same handle, but it had an extra sentence at the bottom of it. Since I just woke up, I immediately approved the comment without much review, as I do for most people I know and trust. I received an email follow-up from the initial commenter who mentioned that he didn’t add the erronious sentence at the end.

    I looked into it in my referrers/IP log, and sure enough, it wasn’t from the same IP. In fact, the second comment contained a back-link to a porn site – clearly unrelatated to the original commenter. Essentially, the spammer assumed (correctly in this case) that I would simply approve his comment.

    Usually I check the back link (even though all back links are “no follow”) just to make sure I am not approving spam. You can tell what’s generally spammy when there are hyphens and other interesting URLs. Needless to say, I will now be more cautious when approving comments to make sure someone isn’t trying to get me to post their spam link.
