After the sham of Gordon Brown calling a woman (Gillian Duffy) a Bigot, when he thought he was off air – link here to Gordon Brown bigot video, I had to post this image that I find HIGHLY amusing.
What I find even funnier, is that gillianduffy.co.uk (the 65 year old pensionor who Gordon called a Bigot) has already been registered by someone to obviously take advantage of the potential traffic that this will cause.
So the day has finally come – mobilephones.co.uk is now in a live Sedo auction with a modest reserve price of only £25,000 ! Sedo auction link here
This has to be one of the most envied of domain names in the UK domain market place, and I know lots of different people who have tried to buy this name over recent months / years
It will be very interesting to see what the name actually sells for – it has to be well into £xxx,xxx imo and even more interesting to see what the current owners decide to do with mobilephones.com which they also own !
Wow it has been 33 days since my last blog post ! and the first one of 2010 ! Lots has happened since my last blog post too. I have stopped drinking coke for a full two weeks now, and an even bigger achievement – I haven’t eaten anything from McDonald’s for 9 weeks on Monday ! Anyone who knows me, will know what a feat that has been so I am really pleased tbh !
Lots of decisions have been made with my projects and goals and I have decided to change the way I do things with certain elements of my business as there simply are not enough hours in the day to do everything I want to do.
One good thing that has come from this change of thinking, is me being able to offer something else to those who need some help. After my mammoth thread on a4u (which I still get daily emails about, even one year onwards) I decided to add another dimension to this and offer something even better.
This is a unique offer for people who want to get hold of a valuable generic product domain name with lots of monthly searches, but cannot afford to buy one, due to the hefty price tag, and here is how it will work :
1. I will offer 5 premium .org.uk domain names (1 per person) to begin with, where you can use the name 100% free for 6 months – these are domains names that would sell for £x,xxx each on the open market.
2. During this 6 months you must build a website on the domain name and build on the site exactly like it is your own.
3. After 6 months, you feel for any reason you cannot continue with the website, then you give the domain back with no charge but in return, the website you have created becomes mine also – which should make no difference as you would obviously have no interest in the project anymore.
4. If after 6 months you want to continue using the domain name, then you pay a monthly fee of £150 to myself and you carry on as you were before with full control over the website, and you keep all the earnings yourself apart from the monthly fee no matter how high the earnings are.
5. This gives you 6 months free grace to build something up, with no expensive domain name purchase upfront and no outgoings at all, and then the option to continue using the domain name if you feel the project is working for you.
6. Even if you make money in the first 6 months and decide to give the domain name back after this period, the money you have made is yours to keep with no charge at all.
I am specifically interested in people who have some experience, as these are NOT niche domain names and are valuable domain names, which if used rightly they have the potential to earn £x,xxx – £xx,xxx a month for you.
If you are interested then please drop me an email me ******** OFFER NOW CLOSED DUE TO RECEIVING SO MANY REQUESTS ******** and put the subject as “blog domain name offer”
I look forward to hearing from you

Yes you did read that correct ! Rage Against the Machine have taken the Christmas number 1 2009 slot with their track “Killing in the name” and has beaten hot favourite X Facotr 2009 winner, Joe McElderry.
A facebook campaign was launched to stop Simon Cowell buying his way into yet another Christmas Number 1 with his X Factor winner (the last 4 Christmas number ones have been X Factor winners)
Killing in the name sold over 500,000 copies via download this week, and it was the first time in history a download single had reached christmas number 1.
The facebook campaign grew to over 950,00 members, just goes to show the importance and power of social media websites – think about it 
What do Thierry Henry, David Beckham and Tiger Woods all have in common ? 2 things to be exact
1. They are all sponsored by Gillette Razors
2. They have all been involved in worldwide scandals / news in the last 2 weeks
Thierry Henry was first on November 14th with his “hand of god” where he caused worldwide controversy after scoring a goal with an illegal handball and therefore ending Irelands worldcup hopes.
David Beckham was next on November 23rd with his admission that he has had asthma since being a child, but medical experts have played down rumours that he will not suffer during the 2010 wordcup in South Africa where the air is much thinner.
Tiger Woods was third on November 27th when he crashed his car at 2.25am (Florida time) outside his $2.6m Orlando mansion in an “unexplained accident”
Now call me cynical but could it be a marketing ploy by Gillette to promote their next predictable razor blade ? not 1 blade, not 3 blades and not even 5 blades – but 10 BLADES !
We have made an artists impression of how the new Gillette advert may look

A teenager from New York who was accused and arrested for armed robbery, has today been cleared of all the charges as his Facebook page had provided him with a concrete alibi.
19 Year old Rodney Bradford spent a whole 12 days in prison after being arrested on the suspicion of armed robbery.
But Rodney was released after a status update on his Facebook profile placed him acorss the other side of town in his fathers flat at the time of the alleged robbery.
The status update was posted exactly 1 minute before the robbery took place, which made it impossible for Rodney to be at the place at the time of the robbery.
The message posted was intended for his girlfriend, who he hoped would cook him some breakfast. Instead, it proved that Mr Rodney wasn’t near the robbery when it took place.
The charges were dropped after IT experts confirmed the status update was posted from his fathers IP address.
Not to be controversial, but surely it could have just been someone else posting that status update to “provide” an alibli ?
I think I might start updating my Facebook profile and Twitter accounts every few minutes, just incase I get wrongly accused of something I didn’t do and get banged up for almost 2 weeks.
The answer is probably yes. I know our 3 kids have WAY too much for christmas and they are all very fortunate to receive everything they ask for and lots more.
For the last few years, my wife and I have been helping Operation Christmas Child through our kids local school, and we wrap up and pack 3 shoeboxes to send to this wonderful organisation, which helps bring happiness to the lives of children who are less fortunate than our own children, and to give them a glimpse of happiness at christmas.
I encourage you to watch this short 30 second clip of a child who has received one of these shoes boxes and the reaction he has to receiving it – Click here for the clip
If that doesnt bring a lump to your throat or a tear to your eye, then I don’t know what will. To see the joy on that kids face, from just receiving a shoebox full of “christmas presents” which are items which we take for granted on a daily basis is very humbling.
But what was in this child box to make him so happy ?
Basically you get a standard size shoe box and wrap it in christmas paper, and then you fill it with items from the list below :
Toys: Bear, soft toy, tennis ball, finger puppet, jigsaw, yo-yo, building blocks, small musical instrument. For boys trucks and cars, for girls dolls, clip on earrings etc.
Educational supplies: Felt pens, pens, pencils, pencil sharpener, eraser, colouring book, notepad, picture or puzzle book, chalk, pencil case, stickers etc.
Hygiene items: Toothbrush, toothpaste, hairbrush, comb, hair clips, bar of soap, flannel etc.
Other items: Sweets (sell by date to be at least March of the following year), gloves, scarf, sunglasses, cap, hat, bangles, necklaces etc.
It doesn’t cost much and the feeling it gives you to know you have helped out people who are much less fortunate than yourselves is truly worth it, let alone the joy it brings to the child who has received it.
I am not a preacher by any means, but the point of this blog post is to show others that a small act of kindness can make so much difference to someones life for a long time.
Yes you read that right !
The Sun reported that Wayne and Coleen Rooney had their newborn baby today and it was a baby boy which they named Kai Wayne Rooney – click to read the story here
He was born at 2.20pm according to the The Sun news story, and no sooner had the news been broken, people were registering his domain names, with kaiwaynerooney.co.uk and kaiwaynerooney.com being snapped up almost instantly.
Something even more shocking is the fact that kaiwaynerooney.co.uk is already up for sale AND in a public auction as someone has already bid on it – click here to see for yourself ! Now you can own kaiwaynerooney.co.uk for the magnificent price of just £45 !
I run and optimise some official websites for a few popular UK and worldwide celebrities with their endorsment as I have the skills to promote the websites on the celebrities behalf, and thus getting them more attention and awareness from the general public.
Some may say this is domain squatting, others will say it is a shrewd businessman taking advantage of a situation to make a quick buck for himself – what do you think ?
Yep thats right. The almight G has spoken once again, and cast down it’s magic green bar on all your websites.
But what does the pagerank mean for your website ? in all honesty – it means nothing !
I have websites which have increased from a PR2 to a PR6 and I have also had websites decrease from a PR6 to a PR3 during this update, yet they are both still making the same amount of money and getting the same amount of traffic that they were before the update.
The only thing that pagerank is important for, is for those webmasters who are selling backlinks. Some will say that the higher the PR of a website, the more authoritive the website is, but this isn’t strictly true in the majority of cases. I have seen PR7 websites drop to PR N/A overnight more than once.
I have websites which have PR0 and are ranked number 1 for their main chosen keyword, and I have websites that are PR6 and not ranked in the top 5 for it’s main keyword,
What do you care more about ? the little green bar growing in size OR your actual positions in the search engines ? I rest my case.
How was the pagerank update for you anyway ? and what are your own personal views of the actual pagerank toolbar etc ??
