Please share your secrets with us:

1. You registered the domain name on December 28th, 2001
2. According to your hit counter you have had 16,152 hits.
3. 12,000 of those people apparently came on the same day.

All this for a site that is, of all things, a search engine that offers nothing unique over other search engines -- and you are trying to sell the domain??

My advice for you to conserver bandwidth:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop

For other people:

You may want to install mod_gzip, which will compress files before they are sent to site visitors.
