[Cyber]

i have 6 extra domains i dont know what to use them for. anyone have any ideas?

domains:
boo.bz
cra.bz
d.bz
glo.bz
kno.bz
ri.bz

[Mandrake]

Tired of your redirection service already?

:confused:

[Cyber]

i had nothing to do with 'em. besides, no1 signs up.

[keith]

never really created a site and drove traffic to it, that may have something to do with it.

and didn't you say they were never paid for? i'd just let them stagnate, they'll be gone soon enough anyhow.

[Cyber]

no they wont, cuz the belizenic.bz was taken over by aonther company. if you look in their domain directory, it doesnt show my domains.

[mugma]

LOL. I registered dave.bz a few months ago and it's still there :) Maybe I'll use it :) Kind of like a .biz... but not quite...

[keith]

hmmm... interesting...

[mugma]

... indeed ...

[Cyber]

see??! so what sould i do with em?

[Albert]

Are *.bz free?

[Cyber]

no

[mugma]

You could get them free before because they didn't bother billing. But now they've gone all corporate or something and you actually have to pay :(

[Cyber]

oh well...atleast i got 6 domains :D

[LeX]

You can auction d.bz and see if any dbz fanatic would want to pay thousands for it. There's a possibility, cause this is even better than a regular 3 letter domain (which is actually 6 letters), it's easy to remember, and it's dbz! :D

[Cyber]

really?

[Chicken]

Justin sold j.cx not sure for how much, but it might give you a good idea of what to expect.

[Cyber]

how much?

[Cyber]

i went to afternic.com, it was sold for $1,040!! Darn!! i could get around 2k!

Well if you got them free, you could give them to poor high school students like me that can't afford a domain. <G>

or you could just leave your redirection service up (for glo.bz anyways)...:-)

[ozefrog]

i reckon you should keep up the redirection service for at least 3 of the domains (the shortest) especially as -------- started putting popups on peoples accounts.

if i saw this post earlier i would of signed up but i have found a perfect alternative to --------

another idea would be giving some1 else a go at running a redirection service with you or advertising your services further.

I thought they only place popups if you enabled some optional feature.

[ozefrog]

yeah, when you use url cloaking, and i did so bye bye to them

This is news to me, because the last time I checked with them (a long time ago actually) they only placed ads when you enabled MX records or something like that, URL cloak was still ad free.

That sucks.

[keith]

i still haven't seen any -------- accounts with any type of extraneous advertising.

[Bruce]

I haven't yet either, but they said they were going to be.

[lotsofissues]

Im confused now. How did this .biz thing work? They didn't charge u to register it!? I thought it was like 50 bucks or soemthing. Can someone explain how it worked?

[keith]

.bz

[Cyber]

they didnt bother to bill me, then they got taken over.

well i went to my site when i used the -------- redirect and i got 2 popups, one is bad enough but 2!?

[lotsofissues]

I just got one... they said they would send the billing by email...i didn't get it and now hours later it says the domaiin is taken. Is it still free?

Try going to my site: http://dto----------

You'll notice that I have enable the URL cloaking, yet there are no popups. And I didn't use the MX records thing.

[ozefrog]

nonono!!!! you all dont understand, i didnt at 1st till i read my HTML code of the redirect, have a look


<frameset border="0" rows="100%,*">
<frame name="frame" src="http://ozefrog.badpenguin.net/">
<frame src="http://ads----------/redirect.html?99889097353406">
</frameset>

notice the ad page is in a new frame (invisible) every so often it refreshes and opens a new browser window, thats why sometimes you see them. and that explains how they would use it under url cloaking.

so LEX try again but leave your site open for a while

[LeX]

Okay, I finally saw it after waiting for about a minute. Just like what they said when you modify your account next to the URL cloaking option.

Switch to wzr.net then.

[ozefrog]

jwdx.com = better! :classic2:

[Cyber]

i've changed http://www.d.bz

now you can get email OR a redirect.

very simple index page.
