Daily Decisions, SMBI, auDA actions
Firstly an apology to my regular readers for the lack of recent postings. I have been busy wth my minisite empire and a shift to a new location in the country.
The fields of Sunflowers at my new location are a change from the bugs of moreton bay. We picked the wettest period in a hundred years to move and had to do it in stages between downpours. On the last day, I fell over the lawn mower and severely injured myself. Bruising thankfully was all I sustained narrowly missing breaking my clavicle and sternum.
The Southern Moreton Bay Islands or SMBI is now behind us, Hurray. We don’t know what we were thinking when we moved there last year. Populated with Several Million Biting Insects and Small Minded Bloody Idiots. SMBI is a much used acronym on the islands, now I will be using a few of my own.
As a auDA reseller and also an auDA Supply class member, I often find the attitudes towards auDA and their rules on Australian domain names by Australian Domainers strange. auDA makes the rules, auDA enforces the rules. Often the domainers choose to ignore the rules and then complain bitterly. Don’t like the rules guys, well join auDA and help to change them. Stop whinging! Related to this DOMAINER.net.au will be mutated into a news and information site about domaining with special focus on auDA . General domaining will also be featured, including monetisation and utilisation of names.
Traffic is what domaining is all about. The more traffic the better. recently a couple minisites were done that was a “proof of concept” for a client. He seems to have missed the point about minisites and traffic as he expected instant millions of visitors. He is getting minimal traffic to his sites but expected the minute I finished his sites that $100s of income would come his way. Sorry, you know who you are, it does not work that way. The MAIN real reason people should place a minisite on their Aussie names is to protect them against auDA invoking their rules against non-usage.
