No More Late “OutBid!” Emails If You Use Godaddy’s SMS Feature

By - March 19, 2012 - 4 Comments
Paul Nicks was nice enough to chime in the other day and point out that Godaddy DOES offer SMS notifications for several different things including Outbid notices.  These will be received considerably faster than their emails and allow you to actually get back in the bidding.  The emails usually arrive AFTER the auction ended. I tested the SMS and it arrived 20 seconds after. Big difference It's a very simple process.  Simply log in to your Godaddy account and enter the "Auctions" section.  From there you enter the settings section as pointed out below   From there you will be take...

Sedo Gives You The Referrers and Keywords That Brought You Traffic: Are You Using It?

By - January 4, 2012 - 2 Comments
Other than the declining return in parking revenue, one of the major issues with parking domains has always been lack of traffic data.  While you get to see how many uniques, clicks, and origin of the traffic, you couldn't see what links and keywords brought visitors to those names.  But you can at Sedo.   Not many people realize that if you go to the individual information page of your domain the most popular referring links and the top keywords that brought people are listed. This information is huge if you are trying to optimize your parking or just figure out the value of your domain.  I've b... Read More »

A Couple of Tools I Like: ViewDNS.info, BustAName and ReverseInternet

By - December 27, 2011 - 1 Comment
There are a ton of tools and websites I use every day and today I wanted to discuss a few I use daily.  I could talk about the number one tool, DomainTools all day,  but there are others that are useful as well. I'll start out by saying they are not paid endorsements but merely things I think are worth sharing because I like the sites.  I am always thankful when people point out tools so I thought I would pass it on. ViewDNS.info Like most of these sites, this site was created by a numbers guy.  Michael Huges is sharp and has created a one stop shop for all kinds of data retrieval.  Much of the ... Read More »

Ever Wanted to See Easily See Google Results With Your Personalized Results Removed? You Can With This Plugin

By - December 8, 2011 - 6 Comments
If you're like me, you're always using Google to look up items but half the results are biased based on Google's personalization. Most of the time I don't want that. I want to see what others see.  How my sites look to the non biased eye.   I could go in an turn off and erase my personalization each time, but I've found something that makes it much easier.  The Google Global Firefox add-on. Before you chime in, yes I know it's been around a while but it's new to me and I'm sure there are others that use Firefox that would benefit from it's use.  It's pretty simple to use. Install. Do a Google sea... Read More »

DomainTools Giving Wayback Machine (Archive.org) a Competitor with Screenshots.com

By - December 6, 2011 - 0 Comments
If you want information about a domain, anyone who's been in this business for any amount of time knows that your homework is done through DomainTools.  Now DomainTools has introduced another stand alone tool, ScreenShots.  It's essentially the same system as the WayBack Machine where you can see how a site looked in it's past history. Although they have always been taking thumbnails and recording them, this is a far easier way to visually see the history of a domain or site.  Because of their late jump it is going to be impossible to go back as far as Archive.org but you have to start somewhere.  I...
