We bought some more domains – I am bored:)

Not big ones but some interesting ones to allow me to play, whilst the boys go and build the car hire and discount voucher codes business’s. Looking at the growth of both of them they don’t need me to help them any more:)

So here we go, interesting mixed bunch, but not as expensive as others I have bought.

These could all be official sites:

www.financialadvisors.org.uk I am a sucker for domains that mean something:)

www.gas.org.uk – not a clue what to do with this

www.government.org.uk an interesting domains

www.lotteries.org.uk maybe the government one matches with this one

www.publictransport.co.uk no traffic but everyone knows what it means:)

www.publicliability.org.uk as the UK becomes a more stupid legal world then sure these search terms will increase

www.sharedealing.org.uk one for the stock exchange

These ones are obviously much more commercial, but I may need some staff to help me and turn them into real sites as alas I still can’t write any code

www.meals.co.uk just a nice name

www.package-holidays.com I do like this one a lot

www.payday-loans.co.uk we have never done any finance stuff but I thought this has to be interesting

Some that fit being commercial even though they are .org.uk’s

www.fishing-rods.org.uk I hate fishing as I was born in a fishing port and hated the smell

www.fly.org.uk a nice one to match www.fly.co.uk

www.handles.org.uk and www.doors.org.uk – a strange pair

And 3 others that I have no idea what to do with:

www.pedicurist.co.uk if you have dodgy feet:)

www.silly.co.uk got to laugh at that one:):):) ha ha ha

www.slogan.co.uk

Obviously if anyone wants to buy these then feel free to ping me

MyVoucherCodes is loosing its top spot??

Is this the last year for Mark Pearosn to have his own way?

Seems some people proper companies are rapidly catching him:

  • www.vouchercodes.co.uk
  • www.discountvouchers.co.uk
  • www.savoo.co.uk
  • www.moneysupermarket.com – ok a white label of MVC but he ain’t keeping much of that money and will be on penalties and sla’s to keep this site live.

Checkout the growth of all these in hitwise.

Time to clean up the act Mark or start being nice to people because simply you aren’t going to have all that traffic to yourself any more:) So being a bully boy to merchants may become not as easy as you loose some visitors.

Sri – whats he upto??

Hey thats not Sri……

Not meaning to pick on you Sri…but you were in the paper with your company accounts and a pretty picture, so I think your PR company are trying build your profile. Hence I feel ok publishing my thoughts, obviosly if there is any misssing Sri then feel free to email me.

Quick stab:

Net Media Planet…..stated turnover about £5.5 million. Most this is probably from PPC, so with gross profit of say 25%.

Gross profit £1 million??????????

How many staff??

Whats your slogan?

Looking to sell sir or just get some nicer clients??

Silly Jokes

Celebrating 40 years of marriage, the guest at the anniversary party asked the husband, “So what’s her favourite flower?”
Without missing a beat, the husband replied “Self-raising, I think”.

Why do you never see Melons in Gretna Green? Because they cantalope.

The government today outlawed (Or should that be out-lawned?) grass in public places followig reports of all the blades in it!

They are from Diane the flower girl

This one is from Craig the
A couple were having a discussion about the family finances and the poor returns they were getting from their savings accounts. Finally the husband screamed, “if it weren’t for my money, the house wouldn’t be here!” The wife replied ” My dear, if it weren’t for your money i wouldn’t be here.”

Inspirational Stuff

I am always a great beliver in that work and effort does more than any talent or skill…..and when I came across the story of how Billy Bragg got him break in music I thought wow.

Here we go how simple things work:

Bragg decided to act the part of a TV repair man so as to get in front of Peter Jenner a well known person in the record industry.

Bragg whilst listening to the radio heard John Peel say he was starving whilst live on air, so Bragg took a mushroon biryani to the BBC studio and Peel in return played a song from Lifes A Riot.

Anyway jibberish over
