    Bounce Rates

    AWStats will show all visitors to the site - Google Analytics will only show those with javascript enabled, so all search engine spiders, email scraper bots and other bots won't show on the GA numbers. GA is a fairly good indicator of actual real people looking at the site, server side stats...

    Bounce Rates

    Bounce rate should be measuring visitors that come into the site and immediately go back to whence they came, rather than those that find what they want and leave via an alternate route. I'd be concerned if the bounce rate was in the 70%+ range, but I see many good sites that are consistently...

    DRS 07607 rottentomatoes.co.uk

    Very much with you on that legal asset ruling DoubleTap. Back to rottentomatoes.co.uk - Personally I had never heard of rottentomatoes.com before this thread and my immediate thought was of throwing them at somebody in the stocks.

    How Do We Make Domain Trading Better?

    That seems fairly sensible to me - it is difficult setting prices for domains as the buyer who wants your particular domain and is willing to pay a reasonable price comes along rarely. You have to be able to get this kind of buyer into a dialogue in some way or other, as often once that...

    Student Monetisation

    100 - 150 visitors per day generating £2-3 per day is a pretty good return per visitor. What you need to do is add more content and improve the number of visitors, if you can keep the rpv at the same level it won't take long to make a fairly significant income.

    Can Alexa be fiddled?

    There are numerous ways of fiddling Alexa. Sites with almost no traffic can be made to look okay by about half a dozen people fitting an Alexa toolbar. If you want commercial grade spamming there are services available that can do that.

    Mini Sites review / advice

    Google is using some user data in the algo these days - if the sites are getting bad bounce ratios they are likely to drop until they pick up more good quality links.

    Park or Mini Site?

    Park until you can develop - develop were PPC bids are highest first - no one with any decent size portfolio is going to be able to develop all of their domains.

    4 of my newest mini-sites

    Experience, I've seen networks of sites build and look to be doing well in search engines only for the whole lot to pretty much disappear overnight.

    dot tel anyone got any idea of value yet?

    I bought a few .tel domains in the landrush and wondered whether there have been any sales or whether anyone has any idea as to values in this tld.

    4 of my newest mini-sites

    I like them - my advice would be to avoid putting too many domains into a network/ring try and keep it down to a maximum of a dozen. They also look like feeders for you main forum site and in this regard they can work very well. If you can make a little money from them and they increase the...

    bing raped google

    Yahoo Publisher Network is a decent competitor for Adsense in the US, still waiting for it to come to Europe :( Also some people seem to make some money from Chitika, which seems to have a better rep than most of the second tier stuff.
