I’ve posted before about how I spend a lot of money on a Adwords campaign on irrelevant keywords.

Because: 1) He was tired 2) He was tired 3) He was [...]
I have been registering and developing websites for a while now. I started my first site in 2000. At the time I was a flight instructor and had asked one of my flight students where he registered his domain. He told me, “Discount Domain Registry.com.” I really didn’t look around, get reviews or ask any [...]

If you said “New York” great! “MO” [...]
