Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 20/10/2025Pretty cool to see Audits.com referenced on the Wikipedia Search Engine Optimization page. 020
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 14/10/2025It’s okay because it’s only the volume of searches that impact the share price, not quality. 110
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025I see the Penguin UK website has already redirected the Spy Dog collection to their homepage. 010
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025It does, however, highlight the need for better safeguarding and longer-term contingency planning for domain names within your brand’s portfolio. Hopefully, the lawyers at Puffin / Penguin Random House UK can reacquire the domain name or have the current registrant take action. 120
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025Anywhere from 50,000 to 100,000+ domain names are deleted or dropped each day, and around 10% are re-registered by “drop-catchers”; essentially bots that target valuable domains based on a range of metrics. I suspect there was no direct malicious attempt here. 110
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025🔞 In September 2025, it was re-registered under a new registrar (Spaceship, Inc. / Namecheap, Inc) and pointed to new name servers linked to known adult content networks. 110
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025🅿️ Throughout 2023 and 2024, it was parked, meaning it didn’t host a real site, just placeholder or ad pages (as confirmed by Wayback Machine snapshots). 💤 By early 2025, the domain showed “renewal required,” suggesting the holder didn’t renew it. 110
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025🕵♂️ The original Spy Dogs website was active until late 2022. 🫴 After expiring, it was picked up in January 2023 by a drop-catcher (a service that automatically registers expired domains). 121
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 09/10/2025There’s been a lot of false claims about the Spy Dogs website and schools emailing parents. The site wasn’t hacked, and neither was Penguin - the domain simply expired and was re-registered. Here’s what actually happened: 140
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 24/09/2025Vibe coding was super quick for me especially now I have a better understating of the dots join together. This was more about having fun and doing it myself. 010
Carl Hendy @carlhendy.com · 24/09/2025My first public “vibe-coded” idea-to-product: storeratings.co Building this was fun but definitely tested my patience. A combination of Vercel, GitHub, and Cursor, I got there in the end. I am not a developer or designer, go easy. 183
