Yeah my site's full of shill bidders. He doesn't mention that my software and auction are cheaper to use than his software and auction. Not exactly a 'new' business model when he has been doing it for years. I guess the fact that I am even mentioned now means it must be having an impact on his bottom line. That's all I'm going to say on the matter. Basically use my site if you want or don't use it.
Of course. But they pay. And so far, when that has been rarely used, they have *always* won the auction.
What if they do not win? Plus they are getting the domain at a reduced rate.
Shill bidding aside, the total number of catches far outweighs what should be statistically possible, with Melitaweb getting most of the premium ones. This is very similar to what CatchTiger did a while ago and got busted for it.
I don't like Nominet allowing people to use hosted systems at all. It enables people with no knowledge or hard work make money with a tiny financial outlay.. I for one would be delighted if Nominet changed their terms and let the people with the best ability catch the best domains.
Having hosted platforms opens up all kinds of potential abuse..
I'll briefly stick my head above the parapet to say this and only this. I use Rob's hosted chasing and there is in no way at all any "catch this in this order" going on if thats the accusation. I wish someone would tell me which to catch in which order as i currently have about 500 gathering dust that I thought were a good idea to go for / buy. If anyone would like a list to make offers...please just ask I decide what to go for on what day. No one else.
Lets face it.... everyone goes for the same stuff anyway. High DA/PA for passing links etc and good generic combos. Not rocket science really.
That's all..... thank you.
It looks like there's a fortunate few using his system that seem to do soooo much better than many other people also using it...
It's not about you - the point I'm making is that whilst 5 or so tags using his system appear to be catching 80% of the premium drops, others get nothing...
It defies logic...
