Question by haadyagob: My domain name has expired but my details are still on Whois?
I paid my subscription 2 weeks after it expired and now some anonymous person is using it. My domain provider won’t answer my letters or emails. Should I just give up on this and just register a new domain name and cut my losses?

Answer by Jane
You can contact the registry directly.
Eg for US domains contact ICANN
For UK domain names contact Nominet
They should be able to help you out.

Question by ozbe: Is it still possible to make money using google adsense?
I’ve played with google adsense a bit in the past, but I’ve read a few things that seem to indicate that it’s not as lucrative as it used to be.

Adsense used to be amazing, but that was before competitors came in and offered more money per impression or per click. Right now, I use Linkbucks, for intermission ads, you get for every 2000 clicks, popups are for every 2500 clicks. While these numbers may seem like crap, they’re actually quite high relative to other popular advertising sites like Adsense.

Yes, it’s my referral link, you aren’t going to lose anything from clicking it.
or, if you dont want to help me

Question by skitzil: Is a listing in the Yahoo! Directory still valuable in terms of Search Engine Optimization?
I’m considering the option of listing my website in the Yahoo! Directory. Before handing over 9, I’d like to know if it still has high value to search engine algorithms. I have heard that DMOZ.org has lost a bit of value recently, with the advent of social bookmark sites. If that is true, has anyone heard the same regarding the Yahoo! Directory?

Thanks!

well the yahoo directory doesnt give you a direct link to your site, so you dont get the seo benefit of that link.

It doesnt hurt, but is it worth it……. I honestly didnt see any changes to my traffic after trying it, and I still have less pages in yahoo than any other search engine.
