After sitting down, I thought about everything that was distracting me and/or was taking my...

Well, MOST domain name buyers are Cry Babies anyway! Many of these are very Uneducated about domain names. Since using Twitter.com, it has really helped me see how "end users" think about domain names, how they go about "buying" a domain name and lastly…. if they can't get what they want, they CRY about it
I noticed a couple times today a "Live Chat" button appear on Afternic.com after doing a search using specific keywords. I went back later today and now the button is gone.

I've been reading an awful lot about Google penalties and why exactly they occur. The obvious reason is to get rid of spam sites from the Google index, but what about the "innocent"?

Morning Folks!!Let's start from scratch. The fastest way to get the word out of something you have is word of mouth.
