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.

A considerable portion of my consulting time has recently revolved around the optmization of corporate blogs (or the addition of blogs to revamped sites). As usual, I find a pattern emerging in the strategies that need attention and the pitfalls that must be avoided. So, rather than charging $400 an hour to give advice on the subject, I thought it would be valuable to share many of the most common pieces of advice here on the blog (business part of Rand fights with open source Rand, but loses, as usual).

With the growing interest in blogging as a means of online promotion and branding, a lot of marketers are starting blogs to promote their opinions, products, books and services.

But a blog is like a website. “Write and they will come” isn’t exactly a magic formula to bring in traffic by the boatload.

If you need to promote your website in order to build traffic to it, you need to promote your blog as well.

Here are some ways you can become a well-read and influential blogger.

1. Write Posts That People Will Want To Read

This should be common sense, but many marketers tend to forget that their readers are real people and

that you need to use the principles of online copywriting to make your headlines and copy interesting to your readers.

If you write posts that people enjoy reading, they will reward you by returning to your blog regularly.

Make your posts conversational, pithy and topical. Keep them short and stick to one topic per post.

Write often and regularly so that both readers and search engines visit your blog more often.

Search Engine Friendly

When I sit down with new clients and discuss the status of their new or existing site they are often shocked when I am forced to inform them that their site is not search engine friendly. Encountered with a blank but slightly shaken look I then explain that this means their site has a particular problem that is hindering search engine rankings. Often this is represented by an inflexible design, overuse of advanced web technologies, or simply a weak navigation scheme. As a result, if they were to continue with the site as it stands they are unlikely to attain competitive search engine rankings.
The following is checklist designed to help you gauge the search engine friendliness of your website and, if you are in the midst of planning a website this checklist will help you avoid the common pitfalls of unfriendly designs.
