		<description>With the recent shakeup in the niche store sector it's clear what it comes down to is you must build full fledged niche blogs (I prefer wordpress...) and then ADD niche stores to the blog.</description>

		<description>For website offering commercial products and services, it is always better to register under .com

.info domains aren't popular with Google, try not to use it if you can.</description>

		<description>I've just put it through validator.w3.org and this was the outcome

Failed validation, 1707 Errors 

Oops.  I can understand that penalizing me but not removing me.  That'll keep me busy fixing that.</description>

		<description>No, no dodgy activity. Looking at my logs, hardly anybody clicked on more than 1 page. I gather that google knows this (I can think of several ways they can find out - google toolbar, maybe the pagerank tool) and discarded me. I am surprised I am removed completely from google. I would have thought they would just lower me very low.  

An example of one of my sites is http://www.babysized.com (not particularly great)

I put some pictures in the middle for entertainment and to encourage some uses to at least click on more pages.

I would be interest if anybody has any sites with a reasonable adsense revenue.</description>

		<description>"Available Domain Names", What it means and how you are slapped by Google after a few days? Did you do some illegal activity like clicking on ads yourself? I have been using Adsense since one year on all my blogs and still have no problems.</description>

		<description>I registered lots of sites with adsense on. Got a decent number of hits from google, almost got my money back for registering (all within about 6 days) and then I would get removed by google. To test it again, I tried a few more domains and the same happened again</description>

		<description>Do Matt have bad reviews about affiliate sites and .info domains? Just on another blog I was reading about "Advanced SEO Techniques". Those are considered more Black or Gray hat. I was wondering to read that he advised many of them but with a thin red line.</description>

		<description>Hi Qaswer
It isn't the sandbox effect for the .info sites. These sites are not way down in SERPS they are completely de-indexed. Not even showing up for the domain name. I believe Google is dropping thin affiliate sites with .info domain names and also targeting BANS sites. Even ones with loads of content and backlinks have been dropped from the index. It also seems that Google is now sandboxing affiliate sites with other domain extensions, again having content as well as affiliate links doesn't seem to be helping much.</description>
