Check out their site directly. $3.95/mo per station ($6.95 network computer) PLUS $.50/gigabyte, etc. Still probably normal, but be advised. Pricing and other info is a little out of date now.

I was watch the auction close with several different devices incase I lost connection with one. Luckily I was able to get it, and I wrote up a blog article about my experience: http://www.scottphillips.com/2011/01/buying-an-expiring-domain-name/ Thanks.

I think in the future the public will start to understan that there are alternate brands out there. At cashloan.me we are working towards a personal lending company with a customer service image.

Personally I am looking at .me simply because the .com, .net and other popular suffix for the domain name I want to use have already been taken. I also not interested in any domain name speculation, I just want to use my preferred domain name. Thanks for this article.

First, I can't believe they still don't have a mobile app. I also have to contact them at least once a month because the software suddenly stopped updating. I can't wait to switch once my annual subscription runs out. Actually, the whole experience inspired me to put together a list of Mozy Alternatives at http://www.bestbackupservices.com.

You're comparing one product and trying to convey the message that it's a waste a time for all. Not sure how long you've been in the industry, but you seem to lack the understanding that all advertisers and their products are not created equal. Also, I personally use the Google Display Network and Facebook to extend a campaign reach, when my search campaigns are tapped out. For larger campaigns, this is a great way to capture more conversions and visits, with minimal investment. Markus,

Facebook is a direct competito of the Google Display Network, not the search network. Comparing Facebook advertising to the Google Search Network is like comparing apples and oranges. I'm kind of surprised that someone who claims to be a search marketer doesn't get the huge fundamental difference. @Darren
