			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a style="text-decoration: line-through;" title="Email Marketing" rel="nofollow" href="http://aweber.com/?216085" target="_blank"> <img style="border: 2px solid; width: 180px; height: 150px; float: right;" src="http://www.aweber.com/banners/email_marketing/180x150_an.gif" alt="Email Marketing $19/Month!" hspace="5" /></a><img style="width: 147px; height: 117px; float: left;" src="../images/posts/2009/09/cheapazz.jpg" alt="CheapAzz.net logo" hspace="5" />Today I just received official notice that my very first domain, CheapAzz.net is scheduled for deactivation in two days. I registered the domain on August 23rd, 2004 after two years on a GeoCities website. Remember them? Yahoo announced that it will close GeoCities on October 26, 2009 &#8211; just a coincidences I think. It probably has nothing to do with the gloomy doom of CheapAzz.net. Anyway, I digress&#8230;</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>CheapAzz.net was my first domain hosted on a shared server (nine of them in five years according to the Whois record). It was the second phase of the Extreme Ezine and it&#8217;s where I began branding myself as &#8216;<span style="font-style: italic;">CheapAzz</span>&#8216;. Not my proudest moment but no regrets either. It was a learning experience. It&#8217;s also where I built my first forum and where I started several safelists. More importantly it&#8217;s where I began an online relationship with many friends that I still know today.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>CheapAzz.net was never a huge success but it did make it to a PageRank 05/10 on Google and was responsible for proving to me what I desperately wanted to believe &#8211; you could make money online. From there I branched off into so many directions I&#8217;m not sure where I&#8217;ve been or where I&#8217;m at. I&#8217;m not even sure I&#8217;m writing this post. I wonder if I sourced this post out?</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Any way, it&#8217;s been a blast CheapAzz.net and I bid you a fond farewell. I hope you find success on a dedicated server sitting in front of powerful fan cooling your hot azz off someday.</p>

<p>I haven&#8217;t gotten rich from the internet yet but it&#8217;s been a lot of fun. And how many can make this statement? &#8220;<span style="font-style: italic;">I haven&#8217;t had to add a cent to my PayPal account in over three years and it easily pays all of my bills</span>&#8220;! Thank you for getting me started CheapAzz.net</p>
