Squidoo | Online Casinos

I think I may have mentioned before that I was trialling Squidoo.com where you can build your own pages about any topic you like.

I've built about 20 pages so far and this one, Online Casinos, is a great way of sharing my new RSS feed that contains online casinos, poker and general gambling news with a wider audience.

The new feed is part of my Doolallys.com site and is updated whenever I add a new piece of news. Squidoo, once a day, goes and checks for new info in the feed and displays it as part of my Online Casinos lens.

Anyone that has an RSS newsfeed would well be advised that this is a great way to increase exposure and also keep your lens updated with fresh content.

I'll be listing some other Squidoo lenses I've made soon so you can see what I've been playing around with.

.eu Domain - Gambled.eu

I've never really played around with Sedo.com much but since the new .eu domain where I tried to purchase about 12 names for developing, and didn't get them, unfortunately, I've decided to try and sell a domain that I was going to develop and now probably won't due to picking up another good name that fits the bill perfectly.

The name I'm going to sell is Gambled.eu and the name I'm using instead, in case your interested is 247 Gambling.

We'll see how it goes but I'm not too optimistic due to the vast number of .eu domains that have been registered purely for people to run PPC ads on.

I think that it'll crush the useability of the .eu domain with so many sites going undeveloped and that if the registrars had any sense, the number of .eu names registered by anyone or any company should have been limited to trademarks and maybe 3 or 4 other names.

This would have made it a lot easier for people to pick up good names that represented what they do and that they could have turned into worthwhile sites. In addition this would have bolstered the presence of the .eu names for the future.

Anyway, I'll post on here how things turn out with my auction. (If I see any action!)
