In other news, Google has updated PageRank and Nomzo.com has jumped to PR3. Seeing that PageRank is largely irrelevant these days it’s probably not worth reporting, but hey ho, we like to celebrate!

If you have any news you’d like to share, get in touch.

Overview

The site itself is http://www.webdesignerhelp.co.uk. It has strong foundations with a great generic domain name.

Other plus points:

• Existing revenue through multiple channels (advertising and link sales)
• Comes with a Twitter account with 1000+ followers.
• PR5

Bad points:

• Owner has pimped it out before the sale by selling links to unrelated sites. This could drop the PageRank in future updates.
• No proof of traffic or revenue.
• It’s on Digital Point, which has more scammers than most forums.
• Traffic quality is not great, stumble upon, facebook, twitter et al does not convert as well as search engine traffic.

Good Investment?

This is a safe investment. The buyer can improve the design, increase content creation, increase traffic and then flip the domain in a short period for a nice profit. Or sit the site for a while and recoup the initial outlay over a longer period. The one determining factor which stops us from buying the site is the extra workload.

The auction is underway with a high bid of $800, BIN Price is $2,500.

You can visit the auction here on Digital Point.

The code is BOWL2010

As with most of these $0.99 GoDaddy promos, payment options are restricted, leaving domainers with a choice between paying by check or credit card. No PayPal option, unfortunately.

Thanks to ProductDomains.com for sharing.

The domain HaitiEarthquake.com now redirects to http://www.google.com/relief/haitiearthquake/, where Google is asking visitors to support to the disaster relief effort in Haiti. With the news that Google is donating $1 million are two prominent links to UNICEF and CARE, two well known charities, and several links to other charities.

For those wanting to donate, here’s a great option that you can do in seconds:

* SMS text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to Red Cross relief efforts
* SMS text “YELE” to 501501 to Donate $5 to Yele Haiti’s Earthquake Relief efforts

Donating to a charity is definitely one way to help the people of Port au Prince. There’s a fantastic post on DNForum about what domainers can do to help in another way. Member ‘companyone’ suggested the idea of registering domain names related to the disaster in order to forward visitors to charity websites, such as the Red Cross. This is an excellent idea as not only will increase the amount of donations for Haiti, it will stop domainers getting brandished as cyber-squatters or scammers. Saying that, the idea only exists because there are scammers and fraudsters in the World. If you find somebody with a fake charity website, please report it to authorities straight away.

There’s a great portfolio of domains up for sale on DNForum. Check out the sales thread if interested. Some of the domains include Zaze.com, WDS.com and dozens of other top class, short domains.

The old design was… well, old. It was dominated by white and was slow-loading. The new Sedo design is much fresher with a cool Scandinavian blue colour theme. Beautiful smiling faces are always a winner, and Sedo doesn’t hold back, there’s numerous stunning women flashing their pearly white teeth. Other new improvements are an Ajax coded Featured domains section.

The backend has a much better overview showing financials for the month and year, which is great motivation to increase domain sales pitches, just to see the numbers increase!

Look out for a lengthier review when the domain management panel has been explored further.
