Found a company doing a novel new trick, well new to me anyway. They scanned my authority website for dead links Then put up some content relative to my dead outbound links on their own site Then email and ask if they can quote my site with link back to me (naturally I agree) When I confirm […]

An acquisition or two
I have been busy looking at existing sites & traffic so taken a break from domain research. Life Insurance Quotes continues to age and is now taking leads, this site is moving forward to the point it’s probably earning just into 4 figures a month, also picked up a couple of other insurance quotes names like travelinsurancequotes.co.uk […]

Fancy Joining Us in San Diego? - Think Tank 2010
Last year I travelled loads and did more conferences than I care to remember (I was out of the country for over 3 months in total). This year, I’ve been a lot more choosy about which which events I’ve attended based on the benefit (and enjoyment) I’d get from them. So far I’ve done both […]

Starting to really have fun this year
Starting to really have fun this year, doing tests, trials and punts and really enjoying dabbling in all sorts. Pretty much all the proceeds from the sale of tvs.co.uk have been re-invested in my businesses. Looking up travel names using the Google keyword tool for inspiration ‘turkey holidays’ stood out as a good name, this seems to […]

Bye bye TVs
It’s been an interesting year so far for me, not overly eventful before last week, but nice growth income wise and some new sites and names purchased along the way. A geography site for $10k is another seasonal site that does poorly during the summer hols but good addition overall with healthy stats. My strategy […]

Trialling A New Automated Revenue Stream - Skimlinks
I’ve written before about using a custom plugin to automatically convert links to affiliate links when an appropriate scheme is available and it has certainly boosted my revenue over the years. So I was very interested to hear from Skimlinks who offer a product that does the job for you. Skimlinks uses Javascript to automatically […]

Creating and Promoting a Facebook Page
There are currently over 400 million active users on Facebook, which is somewhat insane. Last month Facebook became my 4th largest traffic source (admittedly it is ‘currently’ quite away behind the top 3). Before reading on I suggest becoming a fan here so you can see what I’m writing about. I’ve always been a huge […]

Outsourcing and Automation Presentation
Hi all, it’s been a while since I posted, basically been crazily busy with both business and life in general. I enjoyed and spoke at another Think Visibility conference at the weekend, awesome group of people with some great speakers. I spoke on outsourcing and automation, a subject I’m pretty passionate about and I think […]

Ownership of an LL.co.uk
Comedy timing it seems, after chasing a domain for 3 years I finally managed to secure and purchase SJ.co.uk They don’t get any shorter or rarer than that in the UK domain space (at present) only 25 LL.co.uk domains (letter letter) are in existence as they were registered before Nominet started operation, one’s like BT.co.uk […]
