“High Performance Web Sites” A Review

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

Title High Performance Web Sites
Author Steve Sounders
ISBN-10 0-596-52930-9 (ISBN-13 978-0-596-52930-7)
Pages 146 (including index)

High Performance Web Sites by Steve Saunders is an attempt at teaching people how to best go about optimizing their web sites. No I do not mean optimizing for search engines, I mean optimizing for the best user experience (and believe me it is a relief to have a book aimed at giving the user a better experience rather than the search engines).

Is Using $_POST And $_GET The End Of My Register Globals Woes?

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Is Domain Tasting Wrong

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

I have decided to cover domain tasting as my first post. It is a subject I feel very strongly about and would like to tell you why.

So what is domain tasting. Domain tasting is the practice of registering domain names and parking them, if they do not achieve $x amount of revenue within the first 5 days the domain is dropped and returned to the registry. For domain tasters to make a profit they have to make roughly $0.10 in the first five days on the domain name (going on a domain price of $6.95 per domain). If the domain does not make this money then the domain tasterswill drop the domain name and return it to the registry. The domain tasters either have an agreement with the registrar to ensure that they do not incur any fees or they use a registrar that will allow you to drop a domain without any questions (a registrar is not charged for a domain that has been dropped within the first 5 days).
