- EasyToWatch (2007)
EasyToWatch is a website devoted to online video streams in high demand. You will find a wide variety of online streaming videos being served on YouTube, DailyMotion, Google, MySpace and other content hosting providers. The niche for this service is that finding full-length episodes of online television and full-length streaming feature movies is very difficult for a reason. Content hosting companies like YouTube inhibit their own search mechanisms on their sites from displaying results for the content just mentioned for various reasons. One reason is copywright violation is a problem on all these sites and the less exposure to illegally posted media means less chance of legal action. Another reason is simply the resources needed to host full-length media is great. Short clips and smaller videos means better performance for these hosting facilities. This is why they "hide" their high-demand content from the public. EasyToWatch was built with a system of spiders, robots, and parsers that scour the Internet for this hard to find content. Good scripting and complex parsing methods is the name of the game with this project.

DomainHoster is the ultimate solution to managing large numbers of domain names and generating revenue while parking unused domain names. Unlike other domain parking services, DomainHoster allows the user to manage and customize the content for every domain name he/she has thus allowing search engine optimization superior to that of other domain parking services. Domain names can be grouped together with automatic linking generated between them (very important for search engine spidering). Users can choose themes for each domain and customize metatag data. Advertising programs like Google AdSense can be added and modified for all domains in the user's account to maximize revenue from their parked domains.
