I have to own up - I got the diet domains. I wasn't being greedy, I thought it unlikely I'd get any knowing how fast they go so I added as many as I could. I was sure most would be cancelled later but it seems I have got them.

The good news is that i've actually been in the diet products industry so it is a happy coincidence.

My view is that you were on the ball and you were lucky, I don't think you have anything to own up to. If Frank wants to share the love a bit more he could post them one at a time though. Any newbies feeling miffed should remember that there are probably thousands of similar domains still available, and Frank has talked about the techniques he used to identify them, so that's the lesson to learn and you'll find other crackers available.

Wow what a commotion

Don't worry fellas, I will post another load of domains shortly. I originally only posted one at a time for the exact reason of this happeneing. However the reason I done it this way, was because I was offline for the next 2-3 days sorting stuff out, so thought I would leave you all some toys to play with in my abscence

Don't worry there are plenty more to come and it would make more sense if they were taken by one person.

Starling, The point of this thread is not to buy domains to park them, they are to get developed sites out there and making money. I would advise building each site completely different to each other and getting them indexed. If you have experience of the dieting industry, you will know how lucrative it is ps don't forget my backlinks mate

Im out now so cya all mon / tue

Are there any opinions on what stats plugin to get for wordpress? Is google analytics the way to go or one on the os plugins?

Hi smingle, just thought I'd join in with the 'all praise' I think this has been the most enthusiastic thread since I joined..

I've been away for a while and seems like I've been reading this thread for hours and I'm only at page 28 lol only have 31 more to go

Anyway because of you I bought my first .org.uk I usually stick with .com and .co .uk and build the brand..

I'll see how it goes over the next while and take it from there...

CheapHotelRooms / org / uk

I've previously used WP-Slimstat on my wordpress blogs. But it ain't that slim!! Over time it takes up a lot of space on your database.

So on my new blogs I've been using the Statpress plugin. Seems great so far.

Check out the most popular plugins on the wordpress site which has reviews of the plugins.

I have been using StatPress as well - seems really good. Make sure you get the StatPress Reloaded (not just StatPress). According to StatPress Reloaded, StatPress isnt being developed any more whereas someone else has taken over the code and is still improving at StatPress Reloaded.

Talking of WordPress plugins, does anyone else find it hard to search for plugins in Wordpress? What is the 'term' search for? And even if I search for the exact author's name in author search, it brings a completely irrelevant list and not the one I want

Will take about a week on average from when google first crawls your site to it being indexed give or take.

How can you find out when a site has been crawled and then indexed?

How can you find out when a site has been crawled and then indexed?

Crawled - see your site Stats. Going back to StatPress Reloaded it separates 'real' visitors from search engine 'spiders'.

Then to see if your site is included in a search engine's index, in google do 'site:www.mysitehere.xx.xx' and it will show you what pages it has crawled and included in index. I think there are similar for yahoo etc but i dont know what they are.

Thanks Tom, very helpful.

no problem, it's nice to be able to answer questions rather than ask them for a change!!:tup

Live.com - you can also use site:www. example. com
Yahoo - Go to Site Explorer - Yahoo! Site Explorer

Think this thread is great btw. Nice one smingle

Curse thee Smingle you've got me buying org uk domains now and I used to avoid them ... although GolfClothes /org /uk seems viable

We need to be working on 28 hour days and find a way not to sleep...
