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.

    Canadian Sex Acts

    I was watching the show How I Met Your Mother on CBS last night, and the characters discussed a website that they visit, which is all abo0ot (pun intended) Canadian Sex Acts – CanadianSexActs.org.   The site lists the made-up names of a whole bunch of comedic “Canadian Sex Acts,” and clicking on each link opens a pop-up page with a photo of Canadian actor Alan Thicke and an error message.

    Oftentimes production companies mention domain names/websites in television shows and movies, but they fail to register them (or they’re already owned by someone else), and the result is interested traffic to someone else’s website.

    In the case of CBS’ How I Met Your Mother, the characters mentioned the website, CanadianSexActs.org, and the domain name had been purchased a couple of weeks ago – although it has a private registration so I can’t confirm that CBS does own it. The site doesn’t mention the show, nor does it mention the production company or network. In any case, it’s a fun parody website, and it was smart to register it beforehand.

    Geodomain Acquisition

    From the New York Times this past July:

    Newburyport and Plum Island, at the mouth of the Merrimack River, combine shops, boutiques and maritime heritage with breathtaking views and beaches. The sea captains of 200 years ago are gone, but in town, the charm of their stately homes and commercial buildings remains.

    Newburyport is a great tourist town in Massachusetts that is filled every spring and summer with vacationers. People come to walk along the water, enjoy boating activities, visit the art galleries and antique shops, and eat in the cute cafes and restaurants. There are beautiful homes and the town has a quaint New England feel feel.

    My company just acquired Newburyport.com and plan to develop it in the coming weeks.

    Incidentally, #3 on the NYT list of Northeast getaways is Lowell, Massachusetts.
