Hello WHTers!

Time to get things done

Dennis Johnson (aka SoftWareRevue)

I'm in the iNET office this week. The 6 hour drive wears on me, but sometimes you just have to get things done. I've been so bad at getting things done lately, I couldn't pass up a chance to get in the office and work some kinks out.

Last week was rather stressful because I didn't get things done. On Friday I learned that one of my favorite domain names had expired and fell into Redemption. It's not a financially favorite domain. It's simply a domain that is important to me (and others) on one day a year. Since I only look at it one day a year and the holding registrar doesn't have an auto-renew option, it's pretty easy to see how this can get overlooked. No excuses though. It was my fault I lost the domain.

Perhaps I should have sold it years back when someone offered a good amount. When do you decide that an offer is worth more to you than the domain? Our first featured thread ponders such a dilemma.

We're still @WebHostingTalk. Come on over!

Thanks for listening. And I'll see you on the forums.

Web Hosting Wiki Spotlight

Blog marketing

Blog marketing is marketing your services or products online by contributing to blogs, either by writing articles for blogs (your blog or other blogs) or by commenting in blogs.

While blog spammers abound, blog marketing is more than posting in blogs to get your link out there. Successful blog marketing starts with content that's relevant and valuable enough to get readers interested in clicking on your link. If the content is relevant and valuable, it and your link will probably remain in the blog, while spammy contributions are typically removed or blocked from being published at all.
