I gotta say though - and not that I encourage this behavior, but still - posting your site links up here for "appraisal/feedback" is actually an excellent way to get web traffic. For some reason, Ian's forums always index fast and rank high on the search engines - I know often a search for my...

Personally, I think one of the big web design no-no's is making your links the exact same font, size, color, and lack of underline as your regular site text. How are people to even know it's a link without mouseovering everything to see if their icon changes? =) I think you should make your...

I was just about to post a rant here about supposed domain "buyers" wasting our time, but then decided it would be more suited as a new thread in the Domains forum, so I posted there instead. Man, this industry really get on my nerves some days...

I just need to vent a little about domain name "buyers" for a moment... You know what really gets my back up? When somebody sees that you've got domains for sale, and on the site it very clearly says "Interested in purchasing this great domain? Click here to make an offer. All reasonable...

Heh, no problem. As I said, personally, I quite like the font size. =) One other little thing I didn't notice before but just caught my eye - the little curvy arrows on your four links at the top - you should valign your text with the images so they're vertically centered with eachother - at...

The software will still be there - I've never heard of software that has an auto-deleting "self destruct" mechanism after the trial runs out. Depending on what the software is and what method it uses, the most likely situations would be that it will remain active, but you won't be able to make...

Yeah, like I said - the ramblings of a crazed conspiracy theorist. As for doing nothing though, I'm not so sure... depending on your connection to the company and how much the listing bothers you, I believe it's possible you may be able to threaten legal action for libel to force them to take...

I used to play with Johnny back in the days, when he was coaching the Cougars. Ol' man Walker taught me and my other good buddy, a dark-skinned fellow we just called Black Douglas, everything we know about the game. Ahh, those were the days! =) Well, live and learn, but for the record...

Ouch, yikes. I looked through your dropdown list of backgrounds, and the only ones that I think are workable at all are the dark rock ones... the rest are insta-headaches. Also, any time you're going to use a solid color box (in your case, the black ones) on an image background, you really have...

Heheh yeah... personally, the site hurt my eyes so much (no offense to the designer, if it's not a scam!) that I didn't even stay long enough to read the marketing copy... so if any of us have learned something about web marketing from this, scam or no, then it has its merit. =)

(Damn it, I just wrote a huge long reply to this thread, and then accidentally closed off the window halfway! Dontcha just hate that?! Anyways, take two then...) Kiko, Pay rates for internet services, whatever area you're looking into, vary drastically depending on countless factors, from the...

Personally, I think it's very effective - I find the teal a great color against a black background and it works well with the graphic logo you've used. Also, the text size is perfect to my eyes. That said, I have immaculate vision that astounds most people, I'm running a 1280x1024 res. on a 15"...

Is your team coach's name Johnny Walker? =P Yeah, "scripts" is blocked by most spam filters, being that "scripts", besides referring to web programs, is also usually synonymous with "prescriptions", ie. the context of "Get your Viagra/Xanax/Ambien/Valium with no scripts required from our online...

Okay, I'm having a lot of trouble understanding what you're trying to say here, I think much of the linguistic subtleties are being lost in translation, so it's possible that some of the logic is also. Either way, I'm glad you're having success in the domain trading name, you obviously have a...

Ouch. Yeah, I very vehemently concur with the above. The color scheme began to literally give me a headache after just a few moments. The site layout is cluttered and difficult on the eye, and the four identical ad banners are pointless and not a good idea.

In my experience, trying to foil spam harvester bots is about as effective as trying to repel mosquitos with deoderant. The fact is, if you have an active internet presence, you're going to get spam. Every time you build a bigger mousetrap, somebody builds a bigger mouse. I've seen people out...

Actually, yeah, you do have a good point there. Mind you, I wasn't try to imply that any one of those negative points makes a domain utterly worthless in and of itself, and in kind, no single one of the positive factors alone makes a domain a goldmine. I shouldn't have used the wording...

Speaking as somebody who is always dabbling a little in the domain game myself (you may remember one of my very first posts here, I was trying to find buyers for a handful of my domains!), I can honestly say that in my experience over the last seven years, it is a very hard game to play and any...

Are you referring to running the file on your server, or opening the file to edit it? Maybe I'm the one who misunderstood, but it sounds like Kiwiberry read you wrong. .pl files, as Kiwi said, are PERL scripts, and require PERL installed on your server to open and function currently. If you've...

silky, you're asking the impossible - a full featured, complex, reliable, user friendly web host, that's not expensive? And you want to design a highly complex, interactive, multi-technology website, without the skills to do it yourself or the money to outsource it? Well sure, I'd like to fly...
