Welcome to 3ac.co.uk
This is my blog about domains and domain name registration. From hand-registration, investing in the domain names aftermarket to using domains for online marketing purposes, these are my thoughts and opinions spanning 10 years of experience in the industry.
I am pretty active in the UK domain name community and you can usually find me stirring up public opinion about things I like or dislike, I pull no punches and am always open to discussion. So if you have anything you'd like to say, feel free to get in touch!

Domain names, SEO and SAScon

I have been doing a lot of SEO over the last 8 – 10 weeks with some great new clients coming on board through One Result and what I have enjoyed doing is buying up cheap domains to help with various SEO and PPC strategies.
