What's the starting price and any reserve?

 

Thats a news to me. I might be wrong but are search engine's not smart enough to know that what are sites doing for ages and what they are doing now.

Your domain is PR0 had it had some PR some weightage might have been given to it.

 

Can you make 2 or 3 changes/additions there?

1 - Advanced search or at least the possibility of search inside specific cities and categories.
2 - Inside each category make the top city names browseable, this allows an easier way to get where you want easily.
3 - Change that cities list to <li> instead of a "running text"

Questions:

Do we get full rights for this script?
Where is the domain?
When will the auction end, reserve price, Bin, etc... the usual

Ah! $100 to start this fast!

 

how difficult would it be to modify the script for other states?

 

bogart: I could make this an auction, but I'm really looking for an offer that I feel is right. If you're looking for a starting place, I guess shenron kicked it off

suchiarya: educate yourself more about the subject please.

shenron: I'd consider these only at the right price

bonkerbids: It is tailored for alaska. Several databases sold here were filtered to extract the alaska entries. Then tables for each of the categories were made and a script to parse and display was done.

ok, and let's try to keep offers at least 50 usd away from each others. No one wants to turn this into a $1 increment bidding war

 

Right!

Can you answer these please?

BTW $150 to keep lazy bidders out.

 

Interesting site. BTW, I'm a longtime (and current) Alaska resident. You should probably remove the reference to Spanish language in your opening paragraph. It is spoken very little up here. Trust me on that.

 

Agree with above; if coded, I will take this to $250.

Thanks,
tasty

Your bid is getting close to my reserve. once hit i will announce a BIN

nspstudio:
1. I'm not selling a domain only
2. I do not trust automated evaluations


PS: just noticed site is on the first page at MSN for 'alaska search' http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=search+alaska&go=Search&form=QBRE after alaska.com and alaska.edu

 

Is this whole process automated?

 

this was done one time at first when the site was being coded a few weeks ago. Now the tables are there, the code to read the data from them is also there.

 

Yes Jim, but with global warming added-in you might find more taco stands
in Anchorage sooner than you think! lol! Sort Kyoto out and we might be able
to arrest the pace of migration a little. lol!

Best,
s ;-o

 

I too am from Alaska and this is nice, could do some local offline advertising. Let me think it over a bit

 

after looking over the site a bit, the database is very empty, even vague terms turn up little. Is there a way to scrape and add to it or must it be done manually?

 

wowhaxor, remember, it's Alaska.
There are categories with hundreds of entries and others with few. This is what was alaska-related in the dbs people sell here.

 

So where are we with offers on this?
