As you may know, I run the website MTW:ED, a subscription web-service which scans expiring domains with Google PageRank and other popularity values. When it first launched (as a subscription site), it was getting around 4-5 subscriptions per month: enough to pay for hosting, and to make a little profit. When sales declined, I took some actions in attempt to regain them. It worked for a little while, but sales have continued to decline. The site seems to have a lessening presence in the search engines, and relies on mostly direct traffic: not good for getting new customers. READ MORE
Many people have the idea that phishing scams are complex, and are operated by organised criminals. In fact, they are not that hard to create at all.

Thank Me Later is a plug-in which will automatically send a thank you email to readers after they post a comment. It can be set to send the message a time after the comment was posted (an hour, day, week, month, etc). It is effective as it will remind readers of their comments and gets them engaged with future discussion and your blog. It is useful to attract “one-time” readers who will post one comment, and then forget about your blog.
Thank You messages are fully customizable and provide use of “tags” which represent variables. So, for example, you can refer to readers by their names, and reference other variables including comment page, the comment ID, etc. Support for PHP is also included to make the system even more extensible to those with experience.

Google is known for its simple homepage. Currently, it only shows a few elements — a text box, a few buttons, and then some links. But, it seems that Google is running another one of their experiments — one which I have been unwittingly involved in — to make the search engine even more ‘user friendly’. They have taken away all the links (and even the copyright notice), and only show the logo, search box and buttons. READ MORE
