I almost back ordered that whaleback domain for the mere fact it was a website. I wouldn’t have put porn on it though…

When a domain has a sorted past, how do you get Google to remove the links from there history or is there any hope for the domain in the future? This was a GeoState.com that a porn site used to attract traffic.

@domain report: For that reason I always transfer any domain acquired through Godaddy auctions to Moniker, then set autorenew on when it gets there. That way the cost is always $8 and there’s no messing around with Godaddy’s coupon codes or their ridiculous checkout gauntlet and 60-day lock-in policy.

When a .ca domain expires, you still have thirty days to renew before it’s deleted and goes to drop. During that 30 days the domain doesn’t resolve, so it’s amazing people miss the fact that their website isn’t working, but it happens. As for autorenew, at Godaddy I just had three names autorenew at the regular price of close to $11 each, instead I would normally have a coupon and get them for under $8 each. It would be nice if they could autorenew for you with the best coupon code available, but since they don’t I’ve taken my names off cause I watch them close anyway. This happened over a weekend when other things were going on, I’d have been able to renew them anyway cause they stay in your account for a while after expiration.
