    What not to do with URL HIDDEN listings

    Over the last few weeks I've played around with some of Flippa's URL HIDDEN listings.

    When creating such a listing where you don't want to disclose the URL - and are paying through the nose to keep the URL hidden - it would make sense to
    1. Not copy and paste text from your site into the listing
    2. Not have a username that when Googled leads straight to your site, your profiles elsewhere, your Twitter feed, your Facebook page
    3. Not have a real name that is so distinctive it'll come up even in a search through Google cache of domaintools WHOIS pages
    4. Not have images, stats etc., which giveaway the domain name
    5.
    6.
    7.
    etc.

    Just saying

    Put domain in listing.
    Try to resell on private listing when first try was not private.

    Don't put the URL's in the listing like this person

    Don't put the url in your username profile.

    Don't use the name of the website in the sales pitch like this person

    Then there came a time, of Kings, Empires and Revolutions, blood just looks the same when you open the vein.

    Don't buy the "screenshot on listing row" upgrade. (If you don't want competitors that know what your site looks like to find out that it's for sale)
