This has really gotten out of hand and something should be done.

What I’m not sure. A scapegoat might do the trick for the next time they try and do something like this, but what about the 4.6 million?

Also did a rework of the Pure Liquor Site: A Bartenders Guide
I bought the script, but it was pretty messy and had to rework it more than I would have liked.
It came out good and now the list of drinks is over 9,000!

Ok, now  back to work, um after I check the forums and twitter.

What is a Widget on the site

A widget is an interactive application that can be installed on web pages, desktop platforms, and mobile devices that accept this type of content. Technically speaking, a web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any HTML-based web page by an end user. Most widgets have a media-rich graphical interface that becomes visible once the code is successfully installed on a web page.

Companies and advertisers create widgets as a marketing vehicle in order to distribute their content to the places that users spend a majority of their time online. Because widgets can be easily grabbed and shared, they have the potential to go viral. People recognize the utility and fun of widgets, and actively endorse them by installing them on profile pages as a way to express themselves to the world. Users install widgets on their pages because they find the content useful, entertaining or cool.

Widgets typically fall into two categories: Social or Utility. Social widgets, typically placed on social networks, blogs and personal pages possess a “one-to-many” opportunity for exposure while Utility widgets are typically utilitarian in function and provide users with features like news, weather, calendars, and notepads.

I admit I have followed the whole life of this prime quality name, but it looks like Venture partnership.

From debating on using sub-domains, naming directories and even the very url of your website all will play a role in how the spiders rank, index and file your site.

Paul Twomey is president and CEO of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers.

At a meeting in Paris Thursday, the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers — also known by its acronym ICANN — unanimously approved key proposals to allow domain names using any combination of letters and numbers, including non-Latin characters.

Here

A complete overhaul of the way in which people navigate the internet has been given the go-ahead in Paris.

The net’s regulator, Icann, voted unanimously to relax the strict rules on so-called “top-level” domain names, such as .com or .uk.

The decision means that companies could turn brands into web addresses, while individuals could use their names.

Rest Here 

Good old fashion who-is look-up is the standard way to find who owns that name you want, that is if they haven’t added a privacy service to the name. Then I would say that name is off the sellers’ block. They are hiding their name for any number of reasons.

Where do you perform the WhoIS look-up. One of the most popular look-ups is whois.sc they change their name to DomainTools.com a few years back. They offer more than just WhoIS look-ups making the name far more informative to what they do.

But that takes going to their site doing the search from their site: either typing in the domain name or pasting the name into their search box.

I find that is two to many clicks. I like the one click and the info is there, enter UltimateDomains.com I have been using the tool “link” for over a year now, but they offer a service so simple I felt inspired to write about it (finally). You can click & drag their WhoIS link-tool to your tool bar and when your on a site you want to know more about just click the link. Wham-O and you have a basic look-up right there in front of you. Very cool indeed.

There is a little more to it than just that. I am planning on getting down and dirty with my robots.txt file to block the spiders from getting to the duplicate content. Not sure exactly how to do it just yet, but hope to have it figured out soon.
