Harmonica Blog Second Auction Ends Today

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

With 30 watchers, my HarmonicaBlog.com auction ends in an hour. The domain expires in two weeks. If there are no bids I will renew the domain for another year. There seems to be enough interest in it that I should not let it go.

I will post the results of the auction in a few minutes.

At least some of the interest in the domain came from spammers or scammers who wanted me to list the domain for sale on their websites. I think that many of the watchers might be of this flavor.

I cannot put the domain up for sale on eBay again for a while because I can not transfer the domain for 90 days after renewing it. I ran into this problem before. Registry.com locks up the domain after you register it for several months.

I am not sure of my plans for the domain. I am going to switch it to WordPress and test a plugin I have that turns Google Alerts into blog posts.

I may install setup WordPress as an MU site and give away free domains to bloggers. I would have to have my own advertising on the pages. My experience with MU is that only spammers sign up, but my plugin to stop spammer registrations will help with this.
