Aggregate blog and news pulling
June 24, 2008
If you own a blog or develop sites, you know what Aggregate is. The easiest way to look at it is, one site owner taps your feed to your blog and via settings decides what feed(s) or postings to pull from your site and post on theirs. (domaining.com is a well know site that use that.)
Then your hard work get’s zapped onto their site instantly with little to no work involved. Is that good or poor?
It depends on the orginal poster really. For me, I could care less that somebody is grabbing my material that I write, as towering as the site is "legal" and helps citizens and urls back to me. The reason I spend my instance writing on my blog is for folks to read and learn etc. I do not only want my postings on their site so they build money….
Google likes different substance and that’s what I do. 99.8% of things I write, I come up with. So is my substance different when it get’s to the other site? No.
The things that I do see crucial, is Getting Linked Back, so public can visit the original posting (your site) and give proper credit when credit is due. Not just a: posted by admin. I want to see, From DotWeekly.com or posted by Jamie Zoch of DotWeekly.com etc.
I contacted DotEasyDomains.com who aggregates from DotWeekly and nicely asked that he add: Source, DotWeekly.com and link back. When I contacted him, it was clear he was doing that with Many sites and asked "which site". So now I block or delete most pingbacks since it was never fixed and I have to manually edit each pingback and not another reply back from the owner!
Now the site owner can set the aggregater to grab your feed, but additionally not to pingback. That part ticks me off! Your not linked back and the parts of the story they post on their site can be taken out of context or what ever, plus as the original poster you can not track that back. I additionally use the cipher "<!–more–>" which puts a Read More and cuts the story off, which will normally screw up the aggregater grabber and only grab the posting To that cipher.
If you aggregate, be certain to ask the site owner FIRST before you do it. Secondly, link back to the original story and give proper credit.

Movies.com~ “purchase price was minimal” ???
June 23, 2008
As it was reported that AM, Movies.com was purchased from Disney by Fandango which is owned by Comcast. I was reading the story on Yahoo! and was pretty shocked to read Comcast say the "purchase price was minimal" for Movies.com . WHAT??? possibly their "minimal" is WAY different soon after my thinking…
The story plus stated "Fandango said it had 6.3 million monthly different visitors to its Web site in May compared with 1.9 million for Movies.com."
Any domain that is getting 1.9 MILLION UNIQUES per month is going to cost a pretty penny! I know Comcast has a boat load of money, but I’m certain that domain sale could very well rank near the top of all moment domain sales IMO.
Since the selling price was not disclosed, I can not say Disney got the poor end of the deal, but to take in Comcast say the purchase price was minimal, Disney (The Movie Maker) got the short end of the deal. Why list your "movies" under http://home.disney.go.com/movies/ ? Disney already uses Go.com for it’s main site and uses subdomains for all of it’s linking from what I can see, so possibly that’s why they sold?
Also to note: The Montley Fool reports that Fandango did not migrate Movies.com current members into Fandango’s interface, so all Movies.com users will need to sign up with Fandango.

Afternic/Tucows “relaunch” by tomorrow
June 23, 2008
I had noticed today that there was only 7,680 expiring domain names listed on Afternic.com . I thought that was a bit odd since in Tucows press release and on the AfternicDLSBlog.com stated nearly 100,000 Tucows expiring domains would be added to the expiring stock.
Over the weekend Afternic/Tucows had noticed the issue and remove nearly all of Tucows expired domains. I asked Bill Sweetman of Tucows and Adam Gross of Afternic and Adam confirmed that.
Adam "Currently only a couple thousand of Tucows expiring domains are listed on Afternic and within 48 hours the remaining 90,000 + domains will be listed on Afternic?"
Adam repied "You are exact. by the weekend, we needed to pull back names from the 100,000 with which we launched the prior week. We’re working with all customers who were affected, and preorder and bidding activity is saved. We anticipate these names returning to the site as normal tomorrow. (June 24, 2008) "
I and I’m certain many others removed "Watched" domains, so it will be wise to redo your work for the domains that you were watching before. whether you were bidding on a domain already or had a domain pre-ordered you should be ok whether you didn’t remove it. I just wanted to give the heads up on that.

My week in drop catching reviewed
June 23, 2008
Last week I had posted it was instance to have some more fun with drop catching! Well, I have been doing it again and here are some of the domain names that I have been able to grab. Again, these are all 2nd tier drops, which I have paid registration fees for and no software was used to grab them.
The most crucial thing with drop catching 2nd tier drops is to have a Great Source and your process. The source is the domain names that will become 2nd tier drops. The process is the registrar you use to grab them and knowing the times of the drops so you know when to start and stop catching the domains.
So here are some domains that I grabbed and why I went after them……
VCNinc(.)com & IGDinc(.)com Domains like these are good for companies that do not want to pay for their matching 3 letter acronym. They would rather pay less thereupon $3K next $30K for their LLL. I have sold one hand reg like that for $1,000 via afternic but that was additionally the only one that I had. Namebio.com reports 6 other sales of LLLinc domain names since 2007 with the average sale price of $1,333. My investment of $7.44 and a sale near that average sale price would explain my investment.
TimeToUnify(.)com, WhoDoesThis(.)com shout to action domain names are and will always be HOT! They assemble sense for companies to use for marketing considering of the already known terms! IMO, clear signal to action domains are good investements in the .com TLD.
BudgetWills(.)com It just clearly makes sense! Perfect for any lawyer world wide that offers wills. I seem to do well with the keyword Budget at the start! I sold Budgetimages(.)com recently for $1,880.
TotalSwitch(.)com, vDigger(.)com, TractorBlog(.)com, Sibz(.)net & ApparelPros(.)com . These domains were purchased for different reasons. Mainly considering I just liked them. Some just considering they produce sense and have a use like Tractor Blog. A good deal of different tractors on the market and blogging is hot. vDigger is good for just about any online tool or software progam. Apparel Pros is great for any apparel business.
So that was 10 domains, but I got a total of 18. The other 8 are niche markets which I wish not to reveal right now. So I think it’s very clear that there are some great domains to be purchased on the 2nd tier drop levels. I plus missed several domains that folks (manily companies) beat me out on, but I had about a 95% success rate for the domains that I went after. Again, I didn’t use Any Software to capture these, all hand registered the second they dropped.
Feel free to let me know what you think of the domains that I grabbed.
