It's All About Circulation and the Trash Can Morning folks!!When I was a kid like many other kids, I collected coins. In coin collecting "Circulation" is the keyword.

Time to let the Domains that aren't paying their way drop! Every name in our portfolios has been registered because we think we can make money off it. The sad thing is not all of them will sell.

Three ways to get free content New content can be the life blood of a website but obtaining new text and photos can be very time consuming. Too few people actually think to simply ask for new content. Everyone has a digital camera and photo web sites abound. The number of new authors has grown and many are clamoring for attention

Forward A Domain/URL Using Redirect Last week I posted how to forward and mask a domain/url. In the comments of that post it was brought to my attention that the masking route is a somewhat questionable technique. Personally I do not see anything wrong with the method, at least my use of it is not intended in a negative way.
