    Wanted: Domain Appraisal small question wmw.me

    Well it would depend where the traffic was coming from, it could easy have been produced by the seller of the domain, or it could be coming from a high value link (e.g. bbc link) in which case buy it.

    spam comments

    It is a numbers game. Even though 95% of blogs will block the comments, 5% won't. It does not help that there are fairly cheap tools out there to automate the process.

    Wanted: Domain Appraisal work from home

    Work from home is pretty much always a scam.

    Stock photos

    wikicommons It is decent but does have varying licence agreements, and once I used a picture I thought was fine and ended up getting an email from someone who had found it somehow and wanted me to put a link up, so I just took down the photo.

    Wanted: Domain Appraisal cheapdvds // co // uk

    I don't think so either, what I do think though is that digital download will replace it, I think DVD will still dominate in the next 5 years, though people are less willing to pay so much for them so I would expect revenue to go down.

    Another big hyphenated sale reported on dnjournal.com

    I think part of the reason is that it may be using the Google keyword external tool which tends to mix up the order of words.

    Company's main site ranking for a phrase when they also own the keyword rich domain

    You may have a penalty applied, but again I doubt it, otherwise it would be trivial for someone to knock someone else's site off the serps, at worst it would have no effect. It is perfectly legitimate for this to work. Company A buys Company B, company A shuts down company B website and...

    Company's main site ranking for a phrase when they also own the keyword rich domain

    A 301 redirect means that the site has moved so the original site would no longer appear in the serps. Google is fine with it. The main benefit to doing a 301 from another domain is that the backlinks should then count for your new site. So if you are thinking of buying a domain for this purpose...

    Feckin lying ebay sellers

    I must have either been lucky or do not buy enough things from ebay, all the things I have bought came fairly quickly. That being said was there no warning in the feedback?

    Wanted: Website Review Just started a free classified site

    Took a loooong time to come up, browsed to a page and it loaded very slowly you need to look at that. The look of it is ok. Why would I use this over gumtree?

    A good number of exact searches per month?

    Well for starters that seems a very low cpc for anything which is product related. I suspect that either its tire kickers or that the advertisers have not realised people are searching for this term, if it is the latter then you might be better off finding an affiliate for the product. On a...

    low 0.04 exacts but with 40,000 global hits are they worth anything ?

    I would say you would have to have a very high volume term for this to make sense, also generally 0.04 is the lowest that I have seen for a value from the Google keyword tool which suggests that there could be no advertisers for this term. In your example I am not sure it is worth the hassle...

    Company's main site ranking for a phrase when they also own the keyword rich domain

    Either they own the domain for the type in traffic. Alternatively it could be that the site was previously developed by someone else and has backlinks and they did a 301 to redirect on the keyword domain to their new domain.
