Do you use the slideshow script on the other sites that load faster? That's the first thing I'd check out Shags. It probably doesn't get cached properly because the script 'hard-pre-loads' all the images in the slides. I'd try to see IF it works in the footer - if so, the rest of the page may...

I think a Dutch auction would be a good thing.

I'm now interested to find out if there's a font that's considered the best at distinguishing characters. The issue Ned raises would probably also apply to overlooking the numeral 1 for the lower case 'l' or upper case 'I' - it's really a problem of language itself and the character encoding...

Excellent Ned - thank you! Sincere thanks also to Drop and Ventra particularly for helping evolve the COR process - it is that kind of excellence which deservedly make them leaders in this space. Main points all accounted for. Hopefully it's more clear to anyone thinking of participating in...

I'm still gathering the info needed to make good decisions regarding options re COR and transfers, timing in the expiry process etc. and want to possibly standardise on one particular process if poss. Thought this info may be of interest for everyone here too - from the beginning.. To Andrew...

Well done and congratulations logicstorm! PM on the way.

Ah! :) Congratulations to segator!

$20

Last couple of hours of the auction ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for your bid logicstorm! Bidding currently stands at $10. Anyone with a higher bid? Win this pre-drop auction before the dropping domain auctions happen later today :) Cheers!

Domain: QD.net.au Auction expires: Wed 16th May 2012, 48hrs after the post's date. Registrar: Intaserve Comments: 2 character acronym net au domain. $10 start, min $2 bid increments. PayPal is fine.

Excellent - thanks Ned. Tweeted.

Gladly done. Very pro sound too.

Also I'd recommend taking it mobile as a priority - people in transit will connect mostly by a device. Web on the desktop isn't dead - but this domain calls for a fully mobile app experience IMO.

I like the potential Jono. You're obviously looking at all the options. I'd like to suggest a social component. Perhaps not a forum but a sign in with FaceBook or a Ning or Diaspora type social thing. I think backpack travel would work with that - esp. on the cat.killer domain. Backpackers...

Just saw health.com.au is running large graphic banners (saw whilst on sitepronews.com)

Thanks Shane - that certainly is interesting. I think it's only natural that more of these fully fledged companies should be at the end of those good addresses. They have a way to go getting to the top of organic search (from my QD experiment). Ideally - they should want to be at the top of...

Tim, sorry to be unclear - hastily worded. Here's a decent article explaining where I was at when I posted: http://searchengineland.com/google-launches-update-targeting-webspam-in-search-results-119295 You are probably right Tim, about sunset re the old sites not getting crawled. It's good to...

Thanks for that Tim, well said. Early days indeed. If not for the GFC and the resistance to the web as a business model (old media distribution, print, publishing etc) we might have been well past this stage by now. Having said that, I have no illusions about this affecting me, or most domain...

Too much SEO is what this update is supposedly about. Confirming, there has definitely been a huge surge in negative SEO. Probably disgruntled people going out of business because they didn't pony up for a real domain portfolio. I have had some sites get way more searches than usual. They have...

Ah - did a quick look for idnx (must have munged my search). Cheers Ned. BTW - anyone else having trouble finding it in Bloomberg and Reuters? What on earth am I doing wrong? Not may day for finding things (in a timely fashion! :) I am glad it's getting to this point though. The wider...
