WhyPark Sites Get Page Ranked

Seems Google has recently been updating page ranks in their datacenters. My WhyPark sites not only got indexed, are now showing increased page ranks. Considering these sites started at zero and involved minimal effort, it is impressive the page ranks they are now receiving after a short time period.

Here's a few examples that I verified on page rank checker :

www.petshealthtips.com from PR0 to PR3
www.affiliatestipster.com from PR0 to PR2
www.singlemates.net from PR0 to PR1

Even this blog which I started 3 months ago is receiving a PR2. That also is an achievement since I don't post regularly. Imagine what would happen if I really made an effort.

If you have a bunch of domain names, WhyPark is an easy solution to quickly set up content-rich websites to customize as you choose. I found it to be a better alternative to parking domains and much easier than building a site from scratch. And now one of the added benefits the sites are reaping is page rank.

High Value Domain Name Auctions on Ebay

Just came across these domain name auctions on ebay. All 3 haven't met their reserve prices and with a day to go, will be interesting to see how high they go.

Rambo.com

Twisters.com

USSenate.com


The seller also has Womb.com and MailList.com for sale with no bids at present which end in 7 days.

So if you've been waiting to own these names, here's your opportunity.

Ebay vs Amazon Experiment

Both Ebay and Amazon have affiliate programs that are free to join and offer commissions. I use both of them on my sites and now I am doing an experiment to see which one really performs and pays better. For Ebay, I think the best tool they have is the Editor's Kit since it shows running auctions and can be specifically categorized to whichever product(s) you want to promote. And Amazon's best tool I would say is their aStore, which is a storefront that you can customize and choose the products you want to sell. Here is an example of the Ebay Editor's Kit: Pet Echo and an example of the Amazon aStore: Pet Echo Store. Now for the month of April I am using same advertising techniques (Adwords, USFreeads, etc.) to promote both on one of my sites.

I will update at the end of the month as to which one overall did the best.
