US Returns Jotform.com Domain; Still Refuses To Say What Happened | Techdirt – StumbleUpon. This is a worrying trend isn’t it? I can’t imagine that this won’t be explained eventually.
I was a customer of GoDaddy for two years. They were my first DNS registrar and host provider. I was sucked in by my ignorance with the name registration low-cost, but came to my senses after discovering they are a terrible WordPress host.
However today I’d like to talk to you about letting go, and when business should let customers go. My web hosting was done August 25, but I canceled my account the first week of August. Since then, every week, GoDaddy has sent me emails offering me renewal at a discounted rate. To make matters even better (for them), they don’t offer a unsubscribe when you are not their customer, and continue to spam you.
GoDaddy should be an example of the things that you can do that anger your customers. What do you think the chances are that I will suggest someone use a GoDaddy or any other service from their corporate management? It is surprising isn’t it? That people forget the Internet has a memory and eventually bad companies go out of business.
I installed a new plugin today called Broken Link Checker. It is going through all my past posts and pointing out any that have broken links. Then I will update a few a day until I get them all fixed.
However the downside is that this has slowed down the site to a crawl. If you have Godaddy and want to use this plugin run it during your least traffic period. Today isn’t so bad that this is occurring.
Appeals judges berate spammer for \. Pretty amazing isn’t it? They are the ones who are lying, misrepresenting, and they sue. People really have some gall in their court system don’t they?
Removing the www. in your domain | Locomotion. I removed the www in my domain as well. It confuses people who aren’t familiar with technology. So far I haven’t noticed any traffic difference (better or worse) for doing so. The link above explains the reasons and how to accomplish this.
Today I got an email from someone I had never heard of offering to write a guest article for my blog. I had never been approached for this before, and she included her URL so I took a look. It was a pretty spammy website. It had a huge number of outbound links. Clearly it was a link farm. In addition it had stock photos and looked like that old domain parking look. It had some articles that had a large number of links as well. Probably an SEO did that blog and is selling links.
It always surprises me that emails that I have received. Most of them I ignore, like the attempts to get me to write about their product or service that has no relevance to my audience. I wonder if they even look at the website they are trying to spam? What I don’t understand is that they expect to get people to link to them. They don’t offer anything unique so why should I?
Join the club. Fortunately KJK555 has a solution or you can do it manually yourself by clicking this post. Turns out to be a problem with the mDNSResponder.
