How to Make Money from Expired Domain?

When I started to sell expired domain with Pagerank, I feel that I’m going to make few bucks. But when I tried to promote it to Digitalpoint Forum, some people asked me about the purpose of those expired domain with Pagerank. And I think I’ll try to answer that question here.

Expired domain with Pagerank is domains that will expired in some fashioned time and you are lucky if those domain having a Pagerank on it. I’m sure that you already know about Pagerank (PR). According to Wikipedia, Pagerank is a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set, Sounds complicated, huh? I won’t discuss it here either, lol!

Back to the advantage of expired domain with Pagerank, some people tried to have it because lately it’s getting harder to achieve a good PR. Therefore, I tried to compile list of expired domain with Pagerank on it and sell it to you.

Expired domain with PR also can be used for Paid to Review (PTR) program. In one of my favourite PTR program, website with PR 2 was valued $5 per post review. And for website with PR 3, you can get $10 per post review. It was the minimum price actually, and it’s different for every PTR third party.
Even I could get $40 per review for PR 4 website, read here for my experience.
I’ll post some PTR list here later.

Also, with Pageranked domain, you can sell links to other website. There are many third party that you can join for this purpose, such Backlinks, TLA, etc. Monthly my income from selling links (not on this domain) is around $70-$100 per domain website.
Another advantage of expired domain with pagerank is that you can use it for parking domain business, but you must check it’s alexa rank before you decide to buy the domain.

Maybe some visitor here could add their own experience on using the pageranked domain for your website monetizing program. Feel free to share it here!
It’s better to develop an expired domain than a new one, yes, you know why! And don’t forget to buy expired domain with pagerank and make more money from internet. Good luck!

NASA Gets Ready for Phoenix to Touchdown on Mars

After nearly 10 months speeding across 422 million miles (679 million km), the Phoenix spacecraft is just days away from plunging into the Martian atmosphere on Sunday to land near the north pole of Mars. Before the spacecraft, named Phoenix, can dig up ice samples to analyze, it must touch down safely, a prospect that is giving flight control teams and scientists a bad case of nerves. Landing is expected at 4:53 p.m. PDT (11:53 p.m. GMT) on Sunday.
US space scientists were to attempt Sunday to land a 420-million-dollar spacecraft near Mars’s frigid north pole, but were concerned that the odds for success were less than 50 percent.

“This is not a trip to Grandma’s house. Putting a spacecraft safely on Mars is hard and risky,” said Ed Weiler, associate administrator for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, D.C.
Because of the 171 million miles (275 million km) between Mars and Earth during Phoenix’s red planet arrival, it will take signals about 15 to 20 minutes to reach NASA’s control center at JPL once they’re sent.
The probe will work under harsh conditions with temperatures ranging between minus 73 degrees and minus 33 degrees Celsius (minus 99 to minus 27 degrees Fahrenheit).
“We’re working at night, because that’s when the spacecraft is going to land,” Bass told SPACE.com, adding that the entire Phoenix team should now be in place at JPL and at a primary mission control center at the University of Arizona, Tucson. “This will be just an absolutely thrilling experience.”

Should the landing go as planned, ground controllers expect to hear the first signal on Sunday evening local time. But despite biting their nails to the quick, mission controllers are confident the probe can pull off its perilous descent and embark on ground-breaking research in the planet’s northern plains. The weather forecast is good and the spacecraft on target to hit its target landing site.
Phoenix is equipped with a camera and a 2.35-meter (7.7-foot) robotic arm that can dig as deep as one meter to find ice and heat up samples to detect carbon and hydrogen molecules, essential elements of life.
With its two solar panels unfurled, Phoenix is five meters wide and 1.52 meters long (16 feet wide and five feet long). It weighs 350 kilograms (772 pounds), including 25 kilograms (55 pounds) of scientific instruments.

Solar Power Bra, Eco-Friendly Charge

Clearly we’re huge fans of environmentally-friendly innovation, but this has got to be one of the most ridiculous ideas ever to hit the green market. Japanese lingerie maker Triumph International have invented the perfect eco-friendly girl gadget: the solar-powered bra.
The bra comes with a detachable solar panel, worn around the stomach, which can generate enough electricity to power an iPod or mobile, the makers claim. “It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well,” model Yuko Ishida said.

The environmentally friendly, green-colored brassiere includes a solar belt that goes around the stomach, but its creator admits that “people usually cannot got outside without wearing clothes over it” and says it should not be washed or worn in the rain to avoid damage. The green bra boasts a solar panel around the midriff that can generate enough energy to power an Ipod or its small monitor, which can display messages, such as “save the planet.” It also features liquid-holding baggies with detachable straws in an effort to discourage use of cans and bottles.

“It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well,” model Yuko Ishida said. Of course it raises some interesting issues, given that most folks would wear clothing over them. And then there is this bit from the company: you can’t wash the garment.
The message is very clear. To save our Earth is really crucial - so crucial even women underwear can take a part. The bra was revealed prior to the 2008 G8 Hokkaido Toyoko Summit that will address environmental issues.

Apparently this company keeps looking for innovative ways to use ladies lingerie as they have previously created a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag. Other “green” concept bras include one with a reusable shopping bag folded conveniently inside, and a “my chopsticks” bra that holds a handy set of reusable, collapsible chopsticks that can be tucked in either side.

Install Windows Media Player WMP 11 and Bypass Windows Genuine Advantage WGA Validation

Windows Media Player (WMP) 11 for XP has been released which is available for direct full download from Windows Media Player Download page (no validation required), or Microsoft Download Center (WGA validation required), and Microsoft decided to add a WGA check to the installation routine.
If you managed to download Windows Media Player 11 and double-click the executable, there is a built-in WGA that check whether your Windows is genuine or not when trying to install as WMP 11 is designated by Microsoft for users running genuine Microsoft products or genuine Windows. If you failed to pass the WGA, you will get this message:
============================================================
Setup cannot continue
One or more of the following problem has occurred during Setup.

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation

Setup was unable to validate that your copy of Windows is genuine. Click Finish to close setup and navigate your web browser to the Windows Genuine Advantage Website for additional information.
============================================================

I found a trick to working for both the Media Player 11 installation and the Internet Explorer 7 installation.
After you download that Windows Media Player 11 from Microsoft website, use any compression utility, such as Winrar, to extract the WMP11 installer to a temporary directory. You can right click on the setup file and choose any Extract option or launch the extraction utility and choose the WMP11 setup file to extract it.
Then download legitlib.rar and extract it. Copy that extracted legitlib.dll and paste legitlib.dll into the extracted directory of WMP11 installer. Overwrite any existing file.
Run setup_wm.exe. and done. You can install Windows Media Player wmp 11 Beta accordingly.

Alternatively, you can download this registry file, executed it and start the windows media player 11 for xp installation and it should go through passing the WGA check without problems. Suspicious users should check the registry file before they double-click it and make a backup of their registry.
