The site also contains millions of eBay member names that can be searched but I’m not sure if that come under copyright law or not as it is possible to search member for member names from Google that gives you links directly into eBay accounts.

I think my best bet is to take a leaf out of eBays book which is to side step many laws here in the UK including the FSA by having eBays registered office in Luxemburg so maybe I need to look offshore myself for my service provider.

Maybe it’s becoming against the law to expose fraud on eBay as the only way I can see anyone making a case is by linking to eBay pages themselves or by taking static copied of pages but it seems both are prohibited under DMCA rules and eBay certainly seems to have their way with the law here in the UK when it comes to the Birmingham police and trading standards who point blank refuse to except concrete evidence linking a fraudster to no less than eight eBay accounts being used to sell death traps as cars.

What seems to have really have upset eBay was a fake login page hosted by about.ebay.com that I exposed on my site by taking a copy of the page and adding in big red text that not to used the page as it was a fake.

Any advise would be appreciated before I decide how I should go about hosting the site that is dedicated to exposing multiple frauds on eBay that eBay is turning a blind eye towards.

Don't start over and archive the previous writing every single time but try to delve into all the topics as deeply as possible, and whether they've been dissected to the point of exhaustion or not, always put the newfound or -disseminated knowledge together in a summary. Some people do this in the form of a book; others find other ways to do it.

A little late, but the the term was important to clarify my remarks.

Thank you very much for your help and suggestions. They are very much appreciated!

You seem to be keeping yourself well-covered with all the bookmarking links, along with a presence on Disqus, Twitter, and, to some extent, Tumblr. The use of the two latter might be extended by creating yet another set of profiles to use for new article headline notification by means of RSS. The tool HootSuite supports it for Twitter, I believe, while Tumblr has a native RSS syndication feature, though I am not aware of
whether it merely posts the article titles or the articles themselves verbatim.

Social Web aggregation sites BackType and FriendFeed (check out the beta) could also be some pastures you would want to look into. BackType aggregates your presence in commenting across various systems, while FriendFeed aggregates the bulk of whatever online presences you have across the whole web. Additionally, Disqus allows you to
mergewhat people on FriendFeed say about your blog with your homepage's Disqus comments, though it may imply ruining any structured, linear on-going debate. Alternatively, the two can be separated by means of the feature called http://blog.disqus.net/2009/04/02/social-media-reactions/>Social Media Reactions, which also shows comments from such sites as Twitter.

If I were to have one main gripe about the vast majority of websites, it's that they lend you the impression that if you didn't follow the blog from the start, you have no way of acquiring the knowledge shared up until know, unless you use the archive button and keep going back, back, back … and back. To some extent, it creates an image of the blog posts not mattering
particularly, merely serving as SEO- and money-driven content, which is clearly not the case for you and such a site as Daily Blog Tips. Some site owners, however, see this problem and publish books based on what they've written, making it available, i.e. accessible, in an organized fashion.This is both a boon to the selected few who've been with the blog from the start, as they no longer have to go through a mess of disorganized bookmarks, whenever the author struck a chord with them; and as for the, newcomers, they save time by having the author trim all the information, eschewing out redundancies and earlier versions, leaving only what is best and what (still) matters. Not to mention the general advantages of print versus digital.

In your case, newcomers would get to see your recommendation for the best watermarking or plagiarism detection tool, rather than seeing you go through the lot of them without getting a tangible idea about which you prefer, and, conclusively, recommend. As I take a second glance at your articles, a great lot of them concerns discussions of services and tools; even so after reading them, I don't get the impression that I've learned whether the products discussed are among the best or worst of the bunch. It reads like a news blog “X new product is out; let's take a look at it”; rather, I'd like a review or sorts and a summary at the end telling me if it's one of the best, and, bad or not, what the best products in the business is according
to you. Compare it to a mobile phone review, which, ideally, would state something along the lines of “Is the new BlackBerry an iPhone killer? (…) A great product, which might rival the iPhone, which we believe to be the best in the market; these and these aspect set them apart. Take your pick according to which characteristics you find to your liking”. And, possible,
separating the legalese articles from the product reviews might be a feasible suggestion. I have only just discovered your blog, so I'm not entirely sure how much they make up of your articles, but just an observation on my part.

Otherwise, your older articles seem to get left behind, even though full use could be taken of them; some of them needs to build upon each other like the aforementioned review articles in order for them to keep their legitimacy. Not that you need to organize it in a book in order for it to work (even though lulu.com makes such a prospect surmountable), but allow your readers
to study various topics that fit their own agenda, and see the conclusion of various articles on the same topic as aforementioned. You've already anticipated this to a joyous extent in relation to DMCA-filing guidelines as seen in the top menu bar. More of that philosophy applied to the entirety of your articles. Not doing so tends to put articles of a certain age into retirement, lest someone stumbles upon them, or if you link back to them in a newer article. Doing so ensures that people bookmark your site and stick to visiting it regularly, rather than meandering towards it, whenever it's dugg or slashdotted, likening it to a site like Cracked.com, which uses a model of word of mouth and striking a chord with particular articles rather than keeping the same userbase who RSS it. Database and knowledge repository versus article dispenser, one might put it crudely. Compare Wikipedia to New
York Times if you will.

As for to reeling in more visitors, I would expect some targeted zeitgeist articles to get some attention, at least if you could arrange for some lobbying users to spread the word. One thing that I believe would garner attention is the overlooked, but very important, topic of copyright for
forum posts – and, less interestingly, blog comments. The details on this matter to an outsider are somewhat murky, and not knowing your rights on the matter might be a disincentive to partake in larger discussion. Of course, the role of the victim is as interesting as the one of the perpetrator, who may in fact not know about his or her own transgressions. And what's the
responsibility and role role of the forum owner in all this – to both parties in the dispute, notwithstanding? Another topic is the tendency for to copy-paste news articles on a forum verbatim, even though this clearly infringes copyright. On videogames forum – which frankly make up the entirety of the biggest forums – magazine scans can often be seen embedded.
(The biggest two forums within this sphere of discussion being NeoGAF and Something Awful, the former being the most tangible
in terms of overview, which also means that it would be more likely to get slashdotted, if they posted some of your writing – hopefully not verbatim!). As an extra spice, you could make your “internet forum legal guidelines” available by means of Creative Commons, perhaps allowing for verbatim copy-pasting, assuming proper attribution. That way, you'd get some exposure
while ensuring a cleaner legal environment in an otherwise grey area of internet jurisprudence.

Don't read this as some scorching criticism; just as remarks regarding untapped potential of an already great site.

The biggest factor in my decision to move back to one server (before moving my static files to Amazon S3) was that I purchased a VPS. My server can handle many, many times the load it carries now. If I were sloppier with caching and didn't move my static files to S3, that wouldn't likely be the case, but right now my load is a very small fraction of the max it can handle.

The VPS has weathered several traffic spikes already without a problem so I am not too worried.

As far as the site not getting as much of a following that it deserves, I'm not 100% sure why either. Some of it is my doing, the name is terrible, I admit that. Some of it is that a measured, effective approach at licensing and protecting content strategically just isn't cool, read the articles on Digg and Techmeme and you'll see what I mean, and some of it is just that the keywords this topic creates are snoozers.

However, we have been a period of pretty rapid growth the past month or so, I guess we'll see…

Thanks for the interest and if you have any ideas on how to get this site more “out there”, I am definitely open.

What changed your opinion, initially arguing that keeping all your eggs in one basket would have your site go down, if your traffic spiked – not to mention the dynamic bandwidth cost increase if you are using a dynamically priced scalable bandwidth?

Newcomer to your blog, by the way. Love it, and I'm confounded that it hasn't received a bigger following as of yet.
