Looking through my recruitment and employment domains again this evening, I stumbled upon a pair of names I bought in the after market a few years back - www.personalbodyguard.com and www.personalbodyguards.com.It was two years ago since I last looked at development, my thoughts at the time beiong to let my son develop them into a temporary recruit...

In a fashion reminiscent of investment pump and dump scams, domain sellers list domain names for sale and pump cheap traffic to the names to make them look appealing and then dump the names on unsuspecting buyers.? These scammers list domains for sale on domain aftermarkets that advertise the inflated traffic information and dump the
Happy new year and may this year bring you continued health, increased wealth and blessings in all areas of your lives.
I read recently on TheConceptualist.com that Bido.com domain name auctions will be returning soon. I will definitely have to submit some of my better domain names for inclusion.
The auction of PuntaPacifica.com went reasonably wel...

Looks like we're 3 for 3 today with good URLs. Behold the elusive good movie URL -- few and far between, indeed. You may now kiss this URL.
Unlike that URL from my last batch, this is a good use of the PA abbreviation... no-one will confuse what it stands for on a Pennsylvania license plate. Ain't that right, Pa?

If you paid a visit to Barack Obama's Twitter page—you would see a moment frozen in time. The last message sent out was on November 5th, which on Twitter is a life time. It reads
