Day 44 - Bum Marketing Adventure

1 sale, not much work done. Lazy day. Tomorrow will be equally lazy.

I did sit around and do some interesting research. Apparently I was a bit too late on the gold rush though, lol. What you could do was search for old blogs that had been deleted but still had links pointing to them. You could then sign up for a blog and use their domain name. The number of page rank 3,4 and even some 5 blogs that were available was scary. I could have easily claimed 50 of them. Imagine the power of 50 page rank 4 backlinks? The problem? Blogger and wordpress addressed this issue awhile ago. I'm not sure exactly how they did it, but the domain will always come up as in use, even though it's not. The strange thing is, I have a blog that's indexed that I deleted awhile back and I could claim that address, but I can't claim any of the ones I found. Strange. But it isn't just me, I guess it really doesn't work anymore from what I've read. Myspace also has a ton of sites to find. But again, problems. These ones you can get, but myspace is now doing the "msplinks.com" crap for any links on your page. So that's completely useless for backlinks. So apparently I missed this goodness by about 6 months, lol. I'm sure there's still somewhere you can do this, but I couldn't find anything.
