Why are people so god damn secretive?
It always annoys me when you contact a domain name owner to purchase a domain they have owned for some time and not developed AND are not earning any revenue from only to have them ask you what you would be prepared to offer and when you do put a reasonable offer in they say its too low. So I’m going to have a rant! › Continue reading
Geo domains for development
Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa

Once this is happening I can then start to play around more with the products in terms of placement, affiliate programs etc to increase conversion rates. › Continue reading

sometimes you simply have to put it out there! Of course I don’t want people taking the piss… › Continue reading
