I have made by first domain name CheapCars.info sale at Bido pending payment. Overall i am impressed with Bido. Few of the unique interesting features that stood out were
1. Auto Domain Name Owner Verification
Bido asks you to add a randomly generated tag in the whois details of the flag. Once you do this, bido automatically checks for this tag in the whois details of the domain name thereby confirming you have the control over the domain name when you click on “verify”.
2. Bido’s social voting system
I have already written about this in my earlier post.
One important link missing was that, once the domain name is sold, Bido didn’t give a follow up mail after the domain name sale. I was a bit surprised as Bido mailed even when the domain name which i voted for came to auction. Honestly i was expecting a mail saying the domain name has been sold and pending payment. I only got a mail after the buyer made the payment, asking me to push the domain name.
Overall i love Bido as it gives me an easy alternative option to sell my domain names.
MAJ.com has been recovered. The owner Mazen Ghani has updated the info on Namepros.
Since the domain was still with Moniker, there was hope for the owner to recover the name. Moniker does rock for sure.
Looks like the hacker got hold of the name and sold it right away. The Buyer has bought the domain for $14,000 through wire transfer.
Not sure about the exact way the deal was reached, but high priced domain deal by wire transfer is a big red flag especially when the Seller has no big reputation imho.

MAJ.com has been stolen. The owner Mazen Ghani has reported on Namepros just few minutes back.
Hacker has hacked the hotmail email id of the owner thereby getting into the Moniker account and pushed the name. The name MAJ.com is still with Moniker and hence i hope there is reasonable chances of the owner getting back the name.
First of all i feel sorry for the owner. High priced domains changing hands just because one can hack an email id is a bit ridiculous. Its time we have some option where by a written authorization is required for internal transfers and external transfers.

Changing Google Adsense Publisher Id alone won’t work anymore. This used to be the way till sometime back. But now Google has changed the way it works and lets see why changing the publisher id alone won’t display the Google Adsense ads.
You have bought a website or a template which is monetized using Google Adsense Ads. The first step for you is to change the Google Adsense Publisher Id and upload the site making sure the earnings go to your Google Adsense Account. But changing adsense publisher id alone won’t work and your ads won’t get displayed. This is because in addition to the Google Adsense Publisher Id, Google also requires something called google_ad_slot.
Before going further lets take a look at the Google’s new adsense code.
You will notice Google has introduced the google_ad_slot which says what colors, fonts, ads type will be chosen while displaying the Google Adsense Ads. In the Google’s old adsense code these attributes will be there in the code itself as shown below.
So now you can see the way Google Adsense Ads are working. In addition to changing the Google Adsense Publisher Id you will also need to know the google_ad_slot which is a unique number which will be generated by Google when you create the ads inside your Google Adsense account.
The advantage of google_ad_slot is that you don’t have to go and change the adsense codes in each of your website pages for chaning the color, type etc of the ads. You can simply change these things in your Adsense account and the changes will be reflected in all the website pages which are using these adsense codes.
