Scratch your chin all you want, Mirjam.

When I was starting this blog, all I had was the domain and the wordpress I installed on HostMonster. No sitemap, no Google webmaster tools, nothing.

Next thing I knew, I found the crappy default “Hello World” post on Google for net-entrepreneur… And it was on the same or the next day!

google indexing an unused domain, within hours, without having been pinged nor notified nor followed links nor nothing…. wow… did that happen to you?

Mirjam,

The problem I encountered using your method is that my “sandbox” got indexed by Google before I even had the chance to clean-up, withing hours…

I wouldn’t want my test ideas to be out there, you know?

always having some unused domain name lying around, I just take advantage of it by installing wordpress and use it as my personal sandbox

Great guide! I do all this, but I use another free webserver: Appserv. You can install it very easy, and it contains Apache, MySql and PHPMyAdmin. Diana13's last blog post..Easy Money On Net?
