.us reg day and development continues for VGN

   Well I had a arcade script from arcadescript.info and I just loaded it to gamingfan.com. I also had a template that I purchased quite a long time ago and loaded it to Games Report.

   Development of VGN is going pretty well. I made some changes to Nintendog.com which is doing great btw as it got like 1100 uniques yesterday and it's been rocking with adsense. I am working on some more site development too with NintendoDSForums.com. I updated the forums to match 360f and pspf. Oh, I almost forgot some interesting news for the VGN. I acquired ps3talk.com this week. It's in Escrow but it's pretty much mine. I may have overpaid a bit ($775).

   I have way too many domains but today I saw a list of unregistered .us names and went for 44 of them.

My Day With Videogamenews.org

After owning this domain for many many months and only recently getting the template made I finally spent a day on it. I made the site yesterday with cutenews which is pretty good software and I added RSS, mod_rewrite, and some other essentials to the site.
I hope to make VGNewsORG a hub for all my game news and to use the rss feeds to fill the news sections on the other sites in my network. It's slow progress but it's because I am just one guy.
On a side note I found a nice writer names Laura to do cheap yet solid original articles for me. She does things on a wide array of topics and I have her working on some odds and ends like gambling, webmaster, and yeah..gaming too articles. She is fast too. I gave her fourteen assingments and she said she will be completed by Saturday. She already gave me one last night about colleges for my site locatecolleges.info which I just registered.

It's my Anniversary today, I have been married nine years. Tomorrow is by birthday. Hopefully the wife and I can spend a good day together but I know we have things to do as well.

.info day

Well today has been a .info day. I have bought a few and registered a few as well. I ended up scoring these names for about $20 each.

CARDGAMBLING.INFO ovt 33396 for "card gambling"
ONLINEWAGER.INFO ovt 21285 for "online wager"
BLACKJACKGAME.INFO ovt 38437 for "black jack game"
WAGERINGONLINE.INFO ovt 28171 for "wagering online"
FORCLOSUREHOME.INFO ovt 78070 for "foreclosure home"

Dumplings.info
RiceCooker.info

I also registered at registerfly for $1.99 a year each (2 year reg's).
popcornpoppers.info and black-widow.info

I been hoping to build up some fast names here. The black-widow.info name is cool because last night I found a female black widow web outside my front door. I got some excellent up close photos I plan to publish there along with a couple articles.

The reason I want these .info's is because I see them as cheap and easy to setup a simple site. An example of the sites I might setup are like the http://www.foremangrills.com site where I can do some quick info and some AWS from my very own custom script.

Check out these:

Antelopes.info
Wasps.info
GiantSquid.info

I just built them all and currently as of this date they are not even in Google. Let's see how long it takes to get them out of the sandbox.

Thanks for reading.

An email about VGN.

So I finally got around to emailing this person about writing for VGN. I have designer, coder, programmer but not a solid writer. So I need to find at least 2. So when I got this message from Nick S. I replied with this (note: this is the closest I have come so far with a laid out plan for VGN, it's all in my head though)

Well this is good timing. I finally got my stuff together and you can actually be quite helpful now.
I am launching some thin sites. Meaning they are just a few pages each and basically are just filler for my videogamenetwork. I will be needing original content for them and I do believe I will have to pay someone to write me specific articles relating to video games. Also Gametour.com is still doing really well and I would like a senior editor there who can do daily updates on the site.

Here are my major sites I need updated at least weekly if not daily.
======================================================
GameTour.com
PSPForums.com
360Forum.com
NintendoDSForums.com
Foulmag.com
PS3vs360.com (site not launched yet)
VideoGameNews.org (this must be updates daily)
PS3-News.com (not launched yet but has a template, I am unsure on how to proceed with name.
PS3F.com (going to be the forums site for PS3 if I can't get a better name)


Here are other sites I have which will require content asap.
====================================================
AnimalCrossing2.com (may require updates every now and then)
Nintendog.com (doing very well just launched this week, may become a popular site)
SegaDreamcast.info (will be launched within a week, requires a few pages and lite updating)
Cubivore.net (requires a few pages and no update)
360Freak.com (general 360 site requiring occasional updates)
360Mod.com (will need updates weekly when the 360 is launched will focus on hacks and mods)
NintendoFamicom.com (requires a few pages and no update)
Culdcept.info (requires a few pages and no updates)
GBPocket.com (requires a few pages and no update)
NintendoSNES.com (requires a few pages and no update)
SegaInformation.com (requires a few pages and no update)
SegaGenesis.net (requires a few pages and no update)
Microsoft-Xbox-360.com (requires a few pages and no update)
CounterStrikeSpray.com (requires immediate tutorial)


As you can see there is a lot of work to do. Each of the thin sites is pretty much started. With all these sites pointing to each other and also drawing in links the network as a whole can become very strong. I have a lot more sites than this too. Let me list a few for you.
============================================
Atari.net
AtariLynx.com
AtariCentral.com
VideoGamesDeals.com
GamerStop.com
GameCubeMod.com
GameCubeStore.com
PlayVideoGames.com
Lo3.com (counter strike site)
PuNxclan.com (my personal clan site but it does very well)
RateTheGamer.com
PuzzlePlayer.com
TheGetaway2.com
VideoGameNetwork.com (this is my hub site actually for when VGN does launch...I would need another email to explain everything I want at VGN)
Cheatdata.com
VideoGamingCheats.net
Cigmas.com (growing video game CMS that is highly advanced)
GameFonts.com (will be done within 2-3 weeks)

These are names I have but there is not site launched yet.
==========================================================
GamesReport.com (not launched yet but great name)
ClanFind.com
NoobAlert.com
PSPPro.com (has a template at the site but no real content)
XBox-Forums.com (currently just forwards to 360forum.com)
PS2-Forums.com
PSXForum.com
80svideogame.com
CartRepair.info
ClassicSega.com (going to built this week)
Cheat360.com
ConsoleRepair.info
GamingFan.com (GREAT name)
NeoGeoRoms.info
VideoGamesTalk.com
TalkVideoGames.com (great name)
XBox-360-forum.com
Xbox-360-forum.com
VideoGameTemplates.com (I have singular too)
VideoGameStories.com
VideoGameAvenue.com
VideoGameTown.com
VideoGameUK.com
VideoGameBargains.com


Well I think that's all my good video game properties. I also have a couple hundred other names and sites but those are not game related so I won't get into that now. I am sure at this moment you are thinking HOLY CRAP! Well I been building this up for a while and much of this I been rocking since this year. I am still many months away from even being close to launching VGN. However things are moving fast and I am pretty happy so far with what I have done.

Please let me know what you think.
