Biar gimana pun, ngga rela aja kalau bayar perpanjangan domain semahal $34, apalagi ditambah domain tidak belum menghasilkan itu sudah aku transfer duluan ke GoDaddy dengan harga $7-an

Ceritanya karena aku ngga meng-cancel account Smallbusiness di Yahoo! .. lupa ding, kelewatan karena proses transfer di GoDaddy cukup lama … jadi Yahoo! dengan sukaria men-charge $34 untuk tahun kedua ini .. wondering, apa mereka ngga punya data bahwa domain yang di renew itu sudah pindah registrant ? atau ini buat mereka balik modal karena domain di tahun pertama harganya cuma $1.99 )

this is what they saying :

Maya, in order to address your concern, I have checked our records and
verified that you have transferred your domain name to GoDaddy
successfully. However, the subscription of Yahoo! Domains is still
active at Yahoo! end for the domain.

I would like to inform you that transferring your domain to another
registrar does not cancel your domain from your old company
automatically. Because of this, your account was charged. I recommend
you to cancel your account manually to avoid future auto-billing.

Jadi, ngga seperti tempat-tempat lain, begitu di transfer berarti di registrant lama udah ke hapus, di Yahoo! mah engga, kita harus cancel manual juga sehabis proses transfer selesai, berharap orang lupa kali yaa

Terus tentang permintaan refund itu :

Regarding the refund of your Credit Card, I request you to contact our
Billing Support Center exclusively over phone. Please call us at:

800-318-0870,

Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. PST, and a Yahoo! Customer
Care representative will be happy to assist you.

hmm, harus nelpon ke sana ya .. kira-kira pulsanya lebih dari $34 ga yah hehee ..

Bagi yang suka beli domain di Yahoo! domain, apalagi yang program domain murah dulu (eh sekarang masih ding..) .. apalagi yang belinya banyak (aku engga loh ..  :-$  ) jangan lupa lihat tanggal expire-nya di who.is, jangan terlalu mepet karena Yahoo! men-charge kartu kredit kira-kira 3 minggu sebelum tanggal pembelian dulu atau sebelum expire tercantum.

Login ke Smallbusiness dan masukkan data email pas beli domain, kemudian temukan link Cancel Plan seperti ini.

Ikuti proses Cancelation sampe ada button “Finish” untuk di klik. Jika mau di transfer sebaiknya jangan dulu lakukan Cancelation, kalau ada apa-apa, gagal transfer etc. bisa ambil Authorized Code lagi di dalam domain managernya dan retry proses transfer.

Untuk pembelian domain baru baru ini di Yahoo! sudah lebih enak karena pakai Paypal, kayaknya kalau ada kasus seperti daku ini bisa cepat proses refundnya ya tinggal ke Resolution Center dan ngga lama ketauannya karena Paypal bakal langsung kasih alert ada tarikan biaya.

Authority Site

As Web 2.0 becomes less of a buzz word and more of a reality, the types of sites webmasters need to publish will increasingly become more important. In other words, mini-sites are slowly dying and cookie-cutter article sites are on the way out as well. Web surfers will become more value-focused and web companies will become largër.

Over the next few years expect largër conglomerates to be buying up profitable websites in their chosen markets. Expect smaller sites to either be bought or driven out of business. My intention is not to scare you, but this outcome is inevitable.
Large businesses have always taken two approaches to their desired markets. They either buy their competition or they push them out of business. You want to be prepared when this trend begins on the internet.

SEO

In fact, the Sitemaps program provides a little peek inside Google’s mind – and it can tell you a lot about what Google thinks of your website!
