That information is probably already part of the whois record for that domain. Most people who are knowledgeable about domains would use that anyway.

But if you want it on the webpage then just go ahead and create a webpage for it. You probably got a space for that when you registered the domain. There might be a temporary parking page there now but you can change it if you want.

Question by bobby m: my domain name and hosting is with yahoo. Why can’t their own search engine find it. This just is not right.
I believe Yahoo search should find a site that they have hosted without having to wait for weeks to have it crawled.

Question by TheCuriousOne: Could you put just Google Adsense ads on a website?
I have a few parked domains that I own through GoDaddy, and I noticed that GoDaddy automatically puts their own ads on there if its parked. If I pay for hosting, could I put just Google Adsense ads on there to make some money?

yea you can put google ad’s on your websites…people make over 00 a month from google adsense alone – probably less than 5% of people that use it though. but if you have a lot of daily traffic to your site, you should definitely be able to pay for your web hosting and yearly domain payments. if you have a pretty good site you can accumulate a lot of money. it’s all about traffic of course.

go ahead and head to the google adsense website and apply for it. it will take about a week for them to accept you. once accepted, you can create customized colored ad’s to place on your sites…they will give you a special HTML code for each ad you create.

what are your websites? how much traffic do you have each day to them? i made my website at the end of july and i have atleast 100+ visits a day. from that i usually get 1 click a day…sometimes 0. it’s all about content, traffic, and what niche you are in.

Question by Asian G: I just bought a domain name that was already owned?
ok, weird story here, I wanted a domain for a couple months now, I only now got around to getting it….but when I went to the domain it was taken (ads were on the page) I did a whois search and it said (through network solutions) it was taken, and was only taken last week…. sooooo I call up godddy.com and in my conversation with the phone agent he tells me the domain I wanted is STILL AVAILABLE! So….I tell him about the ads on the domain and the whois data I found and he says all his computers says its still available….so I buy it..

I get the domain and forward it to another site of mine…. after a while the domain now goes to my site….

What am I missing here????? How did I buy a domain that network slutions says is owned by someone else??? Should I worry?

What are my legal rights to this domain?
Please note: the whois data said the domain was taken by someone other than me a little over a week ago…and on the page was one of those parked pages with ads…the guy who had the domain wanted $$ for it….

I did not pay him, this domain DI NOT expire as the domain wasnt set to expire until nov. 2007. Godaddy gave me a domain someone else had as an active domain???

Question by ame: No matter what hosting company, (not just Yahoo!), how long after the domain expires can I buy the domain?
Reguardless of the hosting company, how long after the domain expires from a previous owner, asuming that there are no backorders or otherwise ownership of the domain after expiration, can the domain be purchased.
I have been trying to buy a domain that expired on the 27th of april, but I still can’t buy the domain. The WHOIS database, on multiple company websites, says that domain

After the domain expires, there is a grace period during which the original registrant can recover the domain for a hefty fee. In the past, grace periods used to vary a lot, but now it’s become standard at 35 days.

True domain dropping from the registry can take up to 5 days, so expired domains become available in 35-40 days after expiration.

The best way to know exactly when expired domains are released is by checking definitive domain dropping lists.

These lists are available 3-4 days before the expected dropping date, and are FREE and publicly available in sites such as http://www.vztools.com.

If the domain is very desirable, chances are that it is backordered already, so you must backorder it too (and likely get into an auction with other bidders), rather than just waiting it to drop.

If you can afford losing it, just wait for the next day after the expected drop date, rather than the same day, because you don’t really know what time it is going to be dropped, and many failed trials to register it might tip other people about the domains’ desirability.
