    When I signed up for Coop-Ad Net. This is what I got.

    "Domain is already in use by another account."

    Thats odd as I've owned the domain for several years and I haven't signed up for this program.

    What do I need to do to resolve this issue?

    Thanks!

    This is a popular problem as a domain becomes locked once an account is created around it. I was lucky enough to know the person who had the site before me and he deleted the account he had used in the past which made the domain available again.

    There really is no solution other than contacting the DP admins if you don't know the owner of the account it is attached to. They should have an email on record from when the account was created and should also have the power to free the domain.

    Perhaps a potential solution for consideration should there be any further development on the DP network would be to implement a simple verification system similar to Google Webmaster Tools which involves uploading a blank file named as requested. Only the verified account get the weight etc. This would allow multiple accounts to have the same domain attached but only the real one to have the weight. If you own the domain you can remove the old verification file which then allows you to verify yours.

    Anyhow, got work to do. Good luck.
