After leaving the Sahara, probaby the dirtiest hotel I had to stay in and having a REALLY worse experience with the management of Sahara I’m back to Vienna – spend 16 hours in 3 airplanes and about 8 hours waiting for those damn plans ON the airports…

it it were’n so much fun I would travel that far :-)

And meeting with so many cool people really rocked … I’ll follow up with a name list as I post the pics with them a bit later today (hope I’ll make it to the deadline of the Pubcon drinking game

Meanwhile a couple of nice and interesting things happened that really deserve a quick link dump – (in an unordered quick link dump fashion)

Jim Boykin’s son was born – welcome to the Sandbox Nate Boykin :-)

Greg Boser became 40 and I had the honor to hist pretty cool party in the G-Lounge of the Palms casino… as you will see later I got some nice shots from there

Todd Malicoat/Stunddubl relaunched his site’s design and finally takes commments again

Tony Spencer confirms cross-linink still burns ... well – good thing I got so many (don’t ask me about a number :) different IPs and IP-Class networks for all my projects

I got approved to the Multivariate Testing Tool of Google called “Website Optimizer” and will play with that soon… too bad I just recently launched *my onw A/B split testing infrastructure… oh well – it could have been worse to implement an own multivar-tester :-)

Best of the Web got yet another promo running – you can SAVE 25% using the promo code SAVE25 (that’s an easy one to remember fortunately as I read in some mag during my flight)

And I got WAY too many emails still unanswered, from clients, friends and partners… and I haven’t even done these, not to mention follow ups with new contacts from Las Vegas …

So I’m ending here now – get ready to see more soon.

Some of that will be

A FULL AND HONEST review of Snapnames my experience from buying a total of over 50 expired / preferred list domains at snapnames after finding the with the DRT and I got a lot to tell about them… some old and crusty domains were cheap to get but the overall impression and workflow with snapnames wasn’t as nice… and then there is domain kiting …

A FULL AND HONEST review of sticking with Brad Callen’s “NICHE REVOLUTION” club, a somewhat closed membership program that gives out two “info products” (AKA ebooks and audio books) to market yourself -including some creatives… presuming you know a lot about keyword research, PPC, link building, SEO etc that’s a nice thing to play with… obviously people start dropping out as they lowered the price from $97 to $47 already – a sell out?

So I’ve been playing with the Domain Research Tool the last week to check out it’s new features like those

“prefered partner lists” from Snapnames…

I must admit that the whole Snapnames buying process is crap… some of the domains I paid a week ago are still not accessible …

but then, I also got that domain reg’ed in 2002 with 2 .gov and 14 .edu backlinks – and it has a PR4

And I paid a stupid $9 for it…

Not sure why other people didn’t jump in on that… frankly I purchased a lot of domains – 64 to be precise – and ALL of them are years old, got PR, and many got .edu backlinks

Is this a hidden treasure?

What I still don’t get is that SOME domains get a new registraton date – which basically sucks

and others keep their cool 1996 reg-date…

I wonder why that happens… anyway… now I need to find good ways to develop, redirect those domains to make use of their linkpopularity while it’s fresh :-)
