New site bought – SEOPlanet.net

Yesterday I purchased SEOPlanet.net on an auction. It is a very nice site with RSS news, SEO tools, a directory, articles and more with a nice design as well. Also PR 4.

It is the final element I needed and will work as a center for my SEO sites, services and resources.

As soon I finish the projects I do for clients I will get onto this one.

Some plans:

- Add more RSS feeds on the home page such as SEO Scoop, Matt Cutts blog etc.
- Add a resource page with links to recommended places.
- Add a SEO services page where I present my own services.
- Add a page on getting backlinks. Will be information on link buying, directory submission services, reciprocal links and more.
- Either insert the 5,5 K listings from addurl-free.com into the dir or create a new dir for it by modifying the current directory script – I will see about that.

This site actually fits me perfect, I cannot wait to jump on it :)

    Thanks :)

    However there seem to be a “minor” issue.

    Check this thread:

    So I am not sure if it will be handled or I will give back the site. Also not sure if the seller was a scammer. We will soon see.

    man, that sucks big time.

    minor issue : u def got a good sense of humour ;)

    why on earth someone charges $800 for a domain registrations is a big question to ponder and points the direction towards a possible scammer.

    the names a premium but still a big money for it..

    i hope you get this sorted out or you get your money back.

    Good luck :)

    Hehe.

    It is now sorted out, positively.

    The $800 was found to be a typo and is supposed to be in the philipinne currency which is $17.

    The seller was innocent.

    I think some security thing got triggered when I logged in to the domain registrar and changed the password – what happened was that my IP was blocked. And not only this site but also on domainphil.com – when I saw that I realized that it was not the seller but the domain registrar. Now I am moving to Godaddy, I trust them “a bit” more. :)

    I am happy it was solved, and that no real fight started between me and the seller.

    good luck.
