Many domain names and websites are being sold and auctioned off throughout the web on various platforms. I have seen stats at different times for which venue is performing the best and it is constantly changing. My question is primarily about domains. I would probably say that most of the domain name transactions I see are being conducted at Sedo and I am very curious as to what makes for a successful sale. There are several options available when listing a domain name for sale at Sedo. First would be to list the domain for FREE. Second would be to list the domain on the front page of a particular category for the small fee of $9.00 USD. Third option available is to list the domain name on their homepage for a fee of $39.00 USD. I would like to know which option is the best and which optional listing method has proven to sale the most domain names. With the stats coming out so frequently related to the sales taking place at Sedo, which method do you think most domain sellers are using?

Java will not install
I tried several things to eliminate the Java errors or failures so to speak, with no success. I went into the Add/Remove programs in my Control Panel and deleted every previous Java installation I could find, but when I got to the last one on the Add/Remove list, I would get an error message while trying to delete it. I went into my Programs and Windows folders and deleted any trace of Java I could find. I tried several different Program Uninstallers that I tinker with on my PC and still could not get the old versions of Java off of my computer or the new version to install.
Finally I tried one more thing to get my Java update working before throwing my PC out the front door. I went to the Microsoft Support page and came across the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility a very useful tool I must say. This was the beginning of a successful update. I used that tool to remove all instances of Java, at this point there was only one left. Make sure you follow the instructions precisely as this is a powerful tool and it can destroy important system files if used incorrectly. Read the instructions. I than went to Java Downloads and downloaded the “Offline version” for my platform, which is Windows by the way since I have already tried the Online version.
I simply downloaded the Java update to Desktop and ran the Installer with all of my other windows closed and voila! Perfect install and my Java is now up yo date. Why I had to go through these measures is uncertain to me. I can only think that maybe my previous Java versions had some how became corrupt, I’m not sure?
Just follow the instructions I have listed above if you are having problems updating your Java and everything should work fine. It worked for me.

September 17th, 2009 DNLingo As we all know, a ton of effort, funds and precious time is spent with website design and development. And many people undervalue the importance of using a quality domain name in this process. The domain name is just as important for online success as is your professional web design. It is very crucial to dedicate time and effort when you register a domain name because it is that name which is going to be memorable to the users. A quality domain name is an important step in launching your new website and it is the vital start in securing a strong web presence.
People will type in your URL address or domain name in their browser to get to your website. At that point you will start the process of brand recognition. So you shouldn’t misunderstand the importance of a domain name and you should obtain an effective name for your website, i.e. one that contributes towards building your online reputation and pertains to your niche.
