As if people don't have enough to do these days with near zero income, they now have seek out and take down affiliate content within six weeks or face a DMCA from the aptly named FUCKoffGUYS.com LOL

I made a bunch of movies in September 2009 in Denver. With a couple of the same models.

I too got tired of adding/deleting programs from my sites, so now I use a XLS Spreadsheet to read from. Deleting a line from an XLS Spreadsheet makes that chore faster.

At least this program said they were going off.

I understand the value of a domain with traffic but why would I buy the domain and no content?

I know... that seemed rather strange to me as well. I am also not happy with this DMCA threat if affiliates don't remove their content. I certainly don't have the time to go through 5 years of posts on 20 some blogs to comply. I've never had, or heard of, a company that closed it doors make such a demand.

Just seems to me if I bought the domain the customers would expect the same content that had been on that site to continue, not disappear or be replaced with different content. One way to reduce your traffic quickly!

Hmm ... you're right of course. I once managed a restaurant that suddenly sold several of its locations, including the one I worked at. Now I had a very booming breakfast crowd and most nights had a very steady dinner service, and my unit was making a profit. Once it sold, the new company only put out completely different menus, with different meals that had a much higher price point. My waitresses had to wear their old uniforms (that still had the old restaurant name), the sign outside wasn't changed for nearly two months and as a result the restaurant was dead just inside of two weeks.

Different situation, but I think your results would be the same.

We have a TV show called The Great British Bake Off. The BBC has just lost it to a commercial station which paid £75m, but without talking with the presenters, two of whom have now said they won't move with the show. So what with that, ad breaks and a shorter show, people are wondering whether it will be an expensive flop on Channel 4.

It has greed and failure written all over it!

Now might be a good time for me to remind everyone that across all of my websites, a good 35% of the traffic is one Bot or another! From Google, to Yahoo, to Bing and down the ladder to cons in RU.

Not sure if buying a Domain, like Bec's restaurant example, and putting up new content, would hold regulars (if there's such a thing as "regulars" these days), or if that would be apocalypse?

Thanks, Geoff, for the e-mails late last week, but with the awful storms you had, you might have missed the last reply I sent!
