This weekend I’ve been doing some research trying to find avaiable .SE (Sweden) ccTLD domains having decent search volumes and CPC. This is a process I have semi-automated by writing a PHP script that takes the .CSV data generated by Google Adwords Keyword Tool (GAKT) as input and then checks if the keywords are available [...]

If you wish to accomplish this today, you normally install Wordpress MU and some plugin which makes it possible to host [...]

This item was filled under [ General ]

I just realized that I have a couple of GEO domains on the .NU TLD, which I probably never will develop. Since these domains will expire shortly I really need to find a way to sell them for a decent price quickly. So, I going to make a post here to both promote my sales [...]

Work, work and then some more work

This item was filled under [ domaining ]
