As far as I experienced before, MSN was the fastest search engine in term of index update when it comes to new sites but I was surprised when I saw OnlineAds.ws indexed in both Google and Yahoo but not at MSN !

Yahoo was fast enough but I couldn’t expect such a fast update from Google specially for a domain that is 15 days old !

Anyway I know that I can’t expect any stable good result from Google at least for 6-9 months but I will try my best to take advantage of the other two in this time.

This is another mini-project of mine which I started as a SEO practice and the goal is to gain good ranking for the term “Online Ads” which is searched 1202 times a month on yahoo according to Overture.

Hi there,

After passing toughest stages of life -losing my brother - I’m trying to push myself back to life and as Pink Floyd’s great song “Coming back to life”.

After around 2 months since my last post I finally decided to come back and make myself busier with my sites, little by little and not as crazy as I used to be but seeing my sites doing much better than before gave me an extra will to work.

If you leave any business unattended, it falls and fails but my sites lived by their own and it’s exactly what I love about online business.

Besides earnings I had from Adsense, previous ad subscriptions and affiliate links, I received a lot of interest for advertisement on my different sites.

Checking Google Analytics showed me the reason! Traffic for most of my sites became double as they got unbelievable ranks in major search terms beside some links from high traffic forums.

I learned my lesson, PATIENCE is the key to success.

Now I really feel so confident about my SEO techniques so I adopted two new babies OnlineAds.ws & PokerLingo.info and soon I will begin to use this SEO techniques for a whole new kind of project in Real Estate Industry!

I know I’m going crazy again but this time I’ll try to work more organized, step by step with less pressure.

Lets ROCK

cheers,

Yes, you hear me right.

I really have to give up trying to hit my target, at least temporarily !

I’ve got a lot of side development freelance projects that need to be done, the revenue is great and around 20 times higher than what I wanted to reach but it really doesn’t make me satisfied.

My attempts to establish an automated business online, were not for money since I’ve never had financial problem due to kind of high salary full-time job I have and I always knew I can accept freelance projects but I don’t want to work forever and I don’t want to be limited physically that’s the fact I want to established an automated online business.

Anyways these days I am surrounded by deadlines and I barely have extra time to put my thoughts together and work on projects of mine so I have to give myself a break but don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t have anything to do with Scriptbloggers ’cause this is my BLOG not BUSINESS.

Blogging has never been a business for me,… well can be but not for me. There are a lot of bloggers out there, started a blog, put a lot of time and effort gathering info, updating their blogs and promoting it to gain readers but simply after 4-5 months, they feel lost and disappointed then they break whatever they’ve created so far.

If there has been only one thing I’ve learnt while trying to establish my online living, that is “Patience“.  That’s the key most of the times.

Just as an example, CasinoNewbies could be considered as a complete failure but it’s hard to believe how many advertisement offers I received within last 7 days. Same about LiveProxies and even my young project “Allied Network Inc.” with its happy returning customers.

Ok so I will continue my slow but contiguous work on projects without setting any deadline till I found my situation good enough to meet a planned timeline.

Finally I have decided to put some time and effort to try eBay affiliation program but in a kind of unique way.

The basics will be to implement it on my domains with highly searched keywords and trying to optimize and rank them well specially on MSN search results.

Why MSN ?

Not because of number of searches, of course it is not comparable to Google but it is because there is no such stupid thing like Google’s sandbox preventing new sites to rank well and succeed because of age factor.

MSN gives the new domains and old ones, equal chance to succeed and the good news for me is that MSN ranking is highly based on keywords used in url, specially when used in domain name.

As I had good experiences with my previous attempts on optimization for MSN I don’t have much to lose, even if it doesn’t work, it is going to be a good SEO practice again LOL.

Currently I am thinking of two sites to start:

CheapiPod.org ~13k searches a month based on OVT

NokiaMobile.org ~33k searches a month based on OVT

Let’s see how it goes.

Hi there,

I really need help and suggestions on one of my brilliant domains getting around 120 visitors a month and even earning couple of bucks a month from clicks it gets on sedo parking page. The reason I parked it at sedo wasn’t the rev, it was just because it’s the easiest way to have an idea of the number of visitors.

The domain name is BuildFree(.)com and I know if used properly it can be converted to a self-successful project but for some reason it has been months that I couldn’t think of a unique and good idea to implement on it since I really don’t want to spoil it.

Both .net and .org ones are active and have daily traffic (they are not mine) and since I own .com, I am mostly getting their typo traffic since there are a lot of people like myself trying (.com) by default when they hear of a domain name.

Suggestions are highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Soroush

Today there were some weird Pagerank stumble signs for some domains specially on the following Google datacenters:

72.14.205.*
72.14.207.*

The reported Pagerank change didn’t last long for me and they returned to the same previous number as they were within hours but still there are people experiencing same situation for some websites.

While still there is no confirmed news of toolbar pagerank update, chances are pretty high that toolbar Pagerank update occurs these days based on the timings taken from previous occurrences.

Since the actual Pagerank updates regularly and kind of on daily basis, this toolbar pagerank update will not affect the actual search engine ranking and it is just the time people can actually see the Pagerank Google assigned to their pages through the toolbar.

For people who care about PR, it is a really important time because it actually shows if the efforts they made were successful or not.

I’m also interested to see what will happen to my sites specially some of my site’s inner pages.

I will update the blog once I get a confirmed news.

Cheers,

If you are new to my whole issue with Sedo please read 1)Here & 2)Here then it will be more interesting to continue reading how Sedo treats the domain sellers.

And here is the rest of story…

After passing 4 days of my last email mentioned in the two posts before, and getting no reply I decided to write again asking the status of my email and why they just avoid replying my specific question and a day after I got an email stating “Cancellation of transfer of my domain” !!!

And in that email they simply said the buyer didn’t cooperate and this cancellation is necessary.

That was easy, wasn’t it?

You may not believe how terrible they are when it comes to customer support ! I just don’t get the meaning of GUARANTEED SALE they mentioned in their Faq and I don’t know who is responsible for the 45 days they just wasted my time ?

People may think this was not their fault but I believe it is theirs as they don’t allow direct contact of parties that’s why they have that ridiculous commission on sale. Besides, I don’t care if my domain is not sold, I care about the time they killed by putting me into a kind of “contract and obligation”.

So I want to know what would happen if I (as the seller) sell the domain to someone else while this transfer was in progress ?

If you have ever tried to offer on a domain on Sedo you definitely have noticed that they won’t allow you, till you have a valid credit card on the file so what happened this time ?

It’s funny that one time I received an email they wanted to send to buyer by mistake and here was all they asked:

“…..the transfer will be cancelled and your Sedo account will be put under review.”

WOW that was scary LOL.

Anyway I’m still fighting to get at least a reasonable reply but the overal experience is:

Sedo works only for smooth and easy transactions and all they do is to wait till buyer pays, take their ridiculous commission and pass the rest to seller.

Following up is not even listed in their “to do list” and they just seek for easy money if failed they don’t care how long they have wasted your time, they simply cancel the deal !

Nice headacheless way of making money, isn’t it?

With no hope I will keep here updated.

Cheers,

It has always been a pain for me to find a reliable protection for my machine that updates regularly to protect against new malwares without effecting my system performance and I guess there may be some of you there with same problem as mine.

Protection is absolutely necessary specially for people with more sensitive data and people who use credit cards online but not the way taking most of the system resources, effecting all other programs and making you to shut it down before being able to actually work with your machine.

In these years some of them really drove me crazy with annoying questions I had to answer each time I open a program, even if that was a well known trusted software.

I almost tried all the antiviruses that I could hear about;

Symantec Norton antivirus, McAfee, Trend Micro, Kaspersky, Panda, Avg, Avast, etc. but none of them actually did what I expected to get.

So even for a long time my machine was without any external protection just using the windows defender and by being extremely careful about my activities on the net till I found PrevX that was free in that time and I was one of their 10,000 beta testers.

The result was unbelievable, it was updated more than twice a day sometimes no performance reduction and I didn’t have even single sign of any kind of malware within more than a year that I used it. I’ve suggested it to all my friends and they are really pleased with the result they got.

Now they don’t need beta testers anymore since it’s pretty stable but they have a really cool trial free offer. You can download and install it for free and it will work forever if your system remains clean but the first time it detects and defends against an infection it will start to count down and you have 30 days to decide whether to buy it or not.

I was more than happy when I found their new version working with Windows Vista and I bought one for my new laptop.

The price is extremely low comparing to most of others and on their site it is around $25 for a year BUT I suggest you to visit their site and try it, if you liked leave me a comment and I can get one for you with a good discounted bulk price since I bought some licenses for myself, my family and friends.

Visit Prevx website.

I’ve contacted Sedo again, reminding them of the situation explained here and asked some questions like until when I should wait and blah blah blah.

Guess what ?

I got EXACTLY the same reply that I got a month ago, word by word a template email as a reply that had nothing to do with my questions and in the end something like ‘for further information don’t hesitate to contact us’ !

What is the point of contact when there seems to be an automated reply that I already got it twice !

I don’t know with such a high commission they get, what special do they do ?

Now the question is should I really remain obligated to this sale ?

Google Analytics is an essential part of my internet life, their service is amazing and really helpful. I install the code on most of my projects even before the content because sometimes it warns me the potentials I am missing by showing me activities, referrers and potential keywords to consider in SEO.

But it’s 3-4 days I see a big drop in traffic Analytics reports on almost all my sites! Even it shows zero visits on some of my “under development” projects, while they have always had some hits everyday.

At first I thought it maybe true and I’m losing visitors but when I checked server logs, found activities that were not tracked by Analytics and even report taken from Adsense proved the error in Analytics report.

Now I’m hoping their service back up to the accuracy it had before otherwise I have to find alternative solutions.

If you have been noticed the same situation, or have a better solution please let me know.

Cheers,

Soroush
