Three other minisites have been set up on PortableDehumidifier.co.uk, CancellationHolidays.net and OilFilledHeater.co.uk.

http://www.chefpatrick.com/developing-a-geo-domain-part-1/

This means that I have started 12 geo sites, with lots, lots more to develop over the coming weeks and months.

AllInOnePCs.co.uk is a site about All In One PCs, obviously. Its a basic minisite template site with privacy policy. If it shows any strength I will develop in out, so we will see what happens.

I’d hoped to get more done over the holiday period, but this is the first since the holiday began.

Eventually there will be an up to date list of my minisites in the links section.

More in due course……………….

Cookies and Web Beacons

We do use cookies to store information, such as your personal preferences when you visit our site. This could include only showing you a popup once in your visit, or the ability to login to some of our features, such as forums.

We also use third party advertisements on Domaining.org.uk to support our site. Some of these advertisers may use technology such as cookies and web beacons when they advertise on our site, which will also send these advertisers (such as Google through the Google AdSense program) information including your IP address, your ISP , the browser you used to visit our site, and in some cases, whether you have Flash installed. This is generally used for geotargeting purposes (showing Scunthorpe kebabs to someone in Sunthorpe, for example) or showing certain ads based on specific sites visited (such as showing cooking ads to someone who frequents cooking sites).

DoubleClick DART cookies

We also may use DART cookies for ad serving through Google’s DoubleClick, which places a cookie on your computer when you are browsing the web and visit a site using DoubleClick advertising (including some Google AdSense advertisements). This cookie is used to serve ads specific to you and your interests (”interest based targeting”). The ads served will be targeted based on your previous browsing history (For example, if you have been viewing sites about visiting Las Vegas, you may see Las Vegas hotel advertisements when viewing a non-related site, such as on a site about hockey). DART uses “non personally identifiable information”. It does NOT track personal information about you, such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, social security numbers, bank account numbers or credit card numbers.

However, this can affect how you are able to interact with our site as well as other websites. This could include the inability to login to services or programs, such as logging into forums or accounts.

Deleting cookies does not mean you are permanently opted out of any advertising program. Unless you have settings that disallow cookies, the next time you visit a site running the advertisements, a new cookie will be added.

Not particlulary new – still thinking though
Not sure how to progress and I will write up what I have decided shortly, hopefully.

Hoping to develop about half of my portfolio over the next 18 months. Probably want to concentrate on a small number of geos and then work out from there.

So that means no domaining – for the moment. But I don’t think my domaining days are over, but a transition from domainer to domainer developer.

I’m slowly forming a geo network of sites targetting major English cities. ManchesterWide.com was the first. Over the last few months sites for Birmingham and Leeds have been added to the network. Bristol, Newcastle, Liverpool and Nottingham will follow in due course.

In addition, I added Manchester Breaks to the network some time ago.

Except for my Manchester site, they are all basically pages that need to be made into robust sites.

I think a mistake that many geonetwork developers make is to fail fully build out their network before moving on to the next site. There are lots of reasons why this is a good strategy. However, I believe the money is in development, so I want to build out the existing nine sites before moving on to the next ones.

The revenue goal I have set for myself is $1 per day, per site. Is this achievable? The way I look at it, if a $1 a day is achievable, so is $5 and $10. How easy that is, and whether I think its worth the effort, is something I will discuss in future posts.
