    Is Extreme Tracker Illegal?

    This is one of the most ridiculous things I've heard online this year. The company in question here seem to be implying that Extreme Tracker is illegal because it uses cookies. The resources it links to struggle to imply that use of cookies is tantamount to hacking and invasion of privacy...

    Seeking Graphic Designer/Fantasy Artist

    Yeah, I received your private message, and replied to it that same day. See the grey box in the top right corner of this window, where it says "Welcome, skorpioz"? There's a link below that where you read your received private messages - that's where you'll find my reply with my email address...

    What's your eccentricity?

    Ah, I actually do that one too... but then I tell talk myself into how great and valuable they are, and waste even more money on keeping them because I can't bring myself to let them expire. I still have the same ten domains for sale that brought me to this very forum in the first place...

    What looks worse?

    Thanks Ian, anybody else? So far it seems to be a resounding vote for the straight system generated 404 error page being the worst you can see in place of a website, but I wouldn't mind a few more votes if anybody else has an opinion on the matter? Thanks!

    Selling on Amazon, eBay and Froogle

    Ahh, my bad... I misinterpreted your answer to mean that the secret to your success were the forums, and that Eric should use them to achieve that same success. {shrugs} My brain bluescreens sometimes, don't mind me. =P

    What's your eccentricity?

    Hey guys, tell me, when it comes to your online business, what are some of your little eccentricities or strange routines/habits/methods/perspectives you have? One of my unexplainable little quirks is that I can't stand buying from companies with ridiculous names. Of course, what's ridiculous...

    crikey.com.au sale for one million dollars

    Man, you're all either very committed and dedicated to your long-term plans, or clinically insane. I'd sell everything I have - every website I run, every piece of computer hardware I own, every piece of furniture, my clothes, my pets, and my grandmother for $50,000USD!! And I tell you what...

    Selling on Amazon, eBay and Froogle

    Ian, apologies if this is a pseudo-thread hijack, but I was just wondering if you could elaborate on this a little? The secret of your success on eBay is the community forums - how so, in what way? How do the forums help you with your eBay sales? I only recently found out that eBay even HAD...

    What looks worse?

    Could I get some feedback here on what people think looks the worst?

    Low Restricition Affiliate/Advertising Programs?

    I have a dilemma. One of my sites is a very laid back, no holds barred, rather personal "blog" website. It contains a lot of cursing, the occasional low-grade pornographic image, and general discussion topics not suitable for minors or the sensitive/easily offended. Essentially, it's where I...

    A beware thread

    Oh, you were actually one of the companies they did this to? Man, no wonder you're not happy about it! What steps have you taken to remedy the situation? I can't think what one could do in a situation like this, if they're refusing to fix it. Obviously it's just a deliberate broken link, but...

    A beware thread

    On the contrary Ian, as I was saying above, I registered my business, Fifth Dimension Computing, in 1998, but I didn't register my primary domain name, www.fifthdimensioncomputing.com, until 2000. I was, however, still in business prior to that date. It's possibly that they were trading under...

    Google Adsense

    Personally, for PPC traffic, I've always predominantly used GoClick, although I also have accounts with Kanoodle, and Enhance Interactive (formerly Ah-Ha.com), but I haven't used those two extensively enough to give any kind of opinion on their quality. And hence, having only really used GoClick...

    A beware thread

    An offline web hosting business? {chuckles} Now I've heard everything... =D Although, in all fairness, I've been in business since 1998, but you won't find any records of my company online prior to 2000 - because when I first started running my own business, I was doing hardware tech support...

    Logo Design Competition

    Aww, boo! That logo creams over all of the others, Ian! =) Kere, how would it look if you laid the text over the design? Would it be unreadable? If not, that'd be a good way to shrink it down without just squishing it... Me, I'd take it as is, but unfortunately I don't have "Administrator"...

    SysAdmin Position Available

    Heh yeah, I know how that can be! =) But nah, I'm not interested in ready made work, my jobs are usually fairly specific and I always prefer to have things coded from the ground up to avoid mess and hassle, even if it does take a little longer/cost a little more... And as for specifying...
