There’s an article on SEJ about Adsense for domains, I haven’t had much luck myself, But was just wondering has anyone else?

For example I have 1 domain set up on this program underground-rap-music.com and in the month of February I generated 157 impressions and made $0.53. I think I would be better off building out some pages for this domain. So in my opinion I don’t think Adsense for domains is a go.

Hustle 2009 – Day 2, Aggressive Domains Seller

Jan 8, 2009 Domains, Marketing

Tasks accomplished Today.
Well no sales where made today via the Ebay Affiliate program. I really wasn’t expecting to but if it did, it would have made my day.

I decided to be more aggressive in the selling of my domain names. Selling one would put me days ahead of my goal. So I located the contact information of a dot net owner and emailed the owner letting them know that I was in possession of the dot com and was currently thinking about putting the dot com up for sale. And asked whether they would be interested in purchasing  it before  I did so? I placed a time frame of 3 days on it so hopefully I will receive a response back soon.

I also decided to place another one of my domain names up for sale on Sedo. RealRapTones.com, it’s going to be interesting to see how that goes.

Sedo has a service where for a $40.00 fee they will display your domain name(s) that you have for sale on their homepage. Or course this is rotated amongst a list of others but I still think this is a good service, I’ll give it another day before I pull the trigger on that.

Well that’s all for today, not a bad day but it could have been better. I was not so motivated today. I think tomorrow I will begin to hit the message boards to see if I can spark some kind of interest with the domain sales.

Until tomorrow

Hustle 2009 – Day 1, Domains for sale

Jan 7, 2009 Domains, Marketing

Tasks accomplished Today.
I listed only two of my domains for sale on Sedo. It’s hard parting with domains.

I joined Ebays affiliate program and created a script to display products on a couple of domains I own. In the past I have been sending traffic to Amazons Affiliate program, Amazon cookie duration expires after 24 hours which sucks, Ebays is much longer, this should be a successful move.

I found two items around the house that I’ll put up for sale on Ebay either Thursday or Friday. I figure things around the office would be more relaxed towards the weekend allowing me to get off from work at a reasonable time. I have never sold anything on Ebay before so I have no idea how much attention this will require.

These are the items I have chosen so far.

I think I mentioned in my previous post that I had a hard time parting with items.  I have no idea why, I just do. I have a portable DVD player that was given to me about a year ago that I have never opened but I keep it around because someday I will, that’s what I keep telling myself.

Not a bad day today,
Until Tomorrow

IPPages.com – One of the Best API’s Ever

Oct 9, 2008 Domains, SEO

Ok, I’m putting it all on the table now. I’m revealing one of my long time secrets in this post here so listen up. I wish I had a dime for the amount of times I have been asked about retrieving geo type information from a IP or domain. Of course I would always respond with some smart tail remark. Well the truth is I have been using the API provided by IPPages.com for some time now. Incredible service these guys offer. For unregistered users you can get several API requests for free but even after so their prices are totally affordable so don’t be a buster and try and dupe the system.
.
The kind of data you can lookup includes: CITY, STATE, LOGITUDE AND LATITUDE, TIMEZONES, COUNTRY, and etc. You can render this data in several different formats TXT, XML, or VXML. I usually push my data out into a XML format and parse out what I need but that’s because I’m a pimp like that.

But there you go, How’s that for showing some love, I expect you to do that same.
Try IPPages.com… all the cool kids are doing it.
I recommend ippages.com for your IP Address Lookup requirements.

Reverse IP – View domains on a single IP

Oct 8, 2008 Domains, SEO

Ok, So I have seen many tools on the web that will allow you to peep at the hosted domains on a single IP address. I have know idea on how some of these applications work. But I did find a very simple and easy way to extract this information.
Honestly I feel like I’m letting the cat out of the bag with this one, most of the applications I’ve seen on the web are paid for applications. But trust me there is nothing technical about getting this data, just techniques that most may not be aware of.

I’m appending this script to the bottom of this post but it will also be available in the tools section. And like the others it will take a LAMP environment to run. I’m sure if I set it up to run off my server then there would be some repercussions.

No databases needed, upload the file, add an IP address and BAM! You can increase the amount of pages you want to crawl, by increasing the number within the FOR LOOP.

Use your imagination; I’m sure you could really expand on the functionality of this script.
P.S. I wrote this script while the presidential debate was going on (10/07/2008) … I’m such a bad ass!
