    Selling a .co.uk and keeping the .UK

    So would this make people less likely to buy a .co.uk?

    Selling a .co.uk and keeping the .UK

    My question is a bit more specific - how to be sure of getting the rights to an unregistered .uk when buying a registered .co.uk. An earlier poster in this thread made the point that they could sell a .co.uk and legitimately then register the .uk and keep that, which is fair enough.

    Selling a .co.uk and keeping the .UK

    Hi this discussion has me wondering what happens if I buy a .co.uk on Sedo after .uk is launched. Presumably I am just buying that domain and not necessarily the rights to the .uk, whether or not it is registered at the time. So if I want the .uk that is unregistered, of a .co.uk that is...

    Sedo Domain Value Indicator Tool

    Seems weird to me too. It said the .net version of a .com had been registered in 2012 but it had not - it is free. You can give them feedback on that new valuation tool here http://sedo.polldaddy.com/s/domain-value-indicators-customer-feedback

    Hitler's Reaction to the recent Google Penguin update

    Well he doesn't seem to like Matt Cutts very much.

    great update on domain prices

    For a fee they will keep an escrow transaction private - they have said themselves that about 80% of their transactions remain private.

    Advise needed .com

    Don't bother with the Godaddy catching service unless you think nobody else wants the name. Godaddy are not as fast as Snap or Pool and with Godaddy you have to pay even if they do not get the name, though you can then re-assign the fee to catching another domain later. Godaddy is cheaper than...

    iPad apps and children

    Nice result. Just curious, do they now disable what had been downloaded?

    contactless/touchless payment. BAD IDEA

    This is true, there are a lot of schemes and in a busy place like a station a scammer or crooked employee could just put up what looks like a paypoint for tickets, a shop, a cafe or other service and grab £20 payments all day. This site has some interesting official industry info...

    contactless/touchless payment. BAD IDEA

    Are credit cards more or less secure than cash? More or less secure than cheques? When people in front of you in a queue pay fast by swiping this will start to seem like a nice idea, even if you don't risk using it yourself.

    Website text copied- correct procedure

    Also looking to the future as someone said you can use Copyscape to find other infringers, or set up Google alerts for key phrases from your content. Definitely get full copies of the infringing site, if it is not big just get the whole site - probably easiest way to do that is Scrapbook in...

    contactless/touchless payment. BAD IDEA

    I think they have a fallback security feature where if too many transactions come too fast the party receiving payment asks for a password. What I'm not clear about is if you have password protected access to your phone, do you have to log in to swipe it to pay? If so then you have...

    Sedo Now Applying Bank Charges to Wire Transfers

    For info, the exchange rate on a Sedo sale is set at the time the final bid is accepted - the TOS say so, so if you get your money weeks later the exchange rate should be unchanged.

    Top Link Building Tip

    I got the impression the Penguin was freezing out a lot of fishy blog commenting - is that true in your experience?
