I’m on this run posting about development purely because it really kicks me when I see so many wasted domains with parking pages and the general lack of any real SEO / Monetization presence at industry conferences. My personal opinion is DomainSponsor, NameDrive, SmartName and all these companies ...

Bankrate, Inc. announced on June 24 they will acquire CreditCards.com and NetQuote for a combined $350 million. This is a monster deal (and not a domain sale for you blokes who think every company sold with a .com is a domain sale). According to compete these 2 sites have over 2,000,000 unique visit...

This could be the post one day…. Are you prepared? I am not someone who lives under the illusion that my blog is popular or anyone actually wants to read what I have to say. However I am fully aware of the power that domaining.com has to provide traffic to people. In fact, I would say out of all ...

Let’s do another article while I am stuck waiting to speak with a client overseas. I have always insisted that any domainer serious about development quit reading domaining blogs and spend more time reading SEO blogs so why not give you some homework. My SEO knowledge is derived from 10 years of e...

Since my last post was popular and seemed to open up the eyes of many domain owners on how to monetize websites outside of Adsense or parking a page lets get down to backlinks. The number of backlinks to a site from trusted and relevant sites gives great weight to a websites organic search ranking. ...

Are you an SEO firm who provides backlink building to clients as part of your SEO service or maybe you are in the “debated” business of selling backlinks – whichever service you provide how many domains actually exist with any kind of decent exact search and potential for this huge, growing an...

This article is mostly for domainers who are still learning to develop outside of Adsense. A week or so ago I posted about the basic elements required to have a $2 million property online broken down in number of leads / income generated per day. As we all know Adsense and other forms of PPC have de...

In only a few short years a $2 million dollar sale happens and changes you overnight. All the work put in was against your parents dreams to attain a higher education from some over rated and expensive school just to get a degree (in some entirely useless subject such as foreign art or gymnasium tec...

Moniker and SnapNames are certainly everywhere these days and in one of thier first appearances at iGaming that I can remember they seem to have put together some good names in the auction currently live on the SnapNames platform as part of the iGaming Supershow for the gaming industry. Some of the ...

Andrew from DomainNameWire.com has an auction going on at snapnames Ending Tomorrow so we are in the final hours and I must say its a nice well rounded inventory. With over 24 hours left to bid there are already 33 bids and over $16,000 in sales. We all know most bids happen in the last couple hour...

Ask anyone using the Google Adwords program and you will quickly find many people building businesses around the success of their PPC campaigns however unlike how Rome wasn’t built in a day Google can crush you overnight. The latest change to the Google search results for mortgage related terms su...

Forget about sex.com – some of the most valuable domains in this world surround lead generation. Ask any developer and you will get the most common 5-10 categories as the most valuable. Insurance, Mortgage, Weight Loss, Finance, Debt and others. One of the biggest domains sought after by hordes of...

Another domain which was developed but would probably see no more than a couple hundred in auction is ReliableRemodeler.com According to Quinstreet’s SEC filing “In February 2008, we acquired ReliableRemodeler.com, Inc., or ReliableRemodeler, an Oregon-based company specializing in onli...

I love hearding stories about development especially with domains most domainers would never bid on. As the mammoth Quinstreet filed to go public more of thier purchases are now public. CardRatings.com – a site with just under 100,000 visitors a month (not an enormous amount of traffic by any ...

Lots of good names priced from $60. Call it housecleaning, a sale or whatever you want. Simply in the mood to move a few more names this weekend before I disappear to conferences. Download the list here Samples include chemodoctors.com houseinsurancerates.net invitrogrants.com heightcharts.org corpo...

What I love about this business is most domain investors never grew up wanting to be in the domaining industry. Most of us fell in to domains by one way or another but never from a childhood dream of owning a domain name. Fact is anyone around for 10 years + probably never had a computer growing up ...

This should be nothing new to many of the professionals in this industry but for a few years now the domain industry has had many reasons to attract Wall Street’s attention and gain street credit but failed many times over – sure, they have been some great stories however the underlying battle o...

Every year people come up with great ideas to make money online which do not involve parking and these stories should inspire all. The million dollar home page was the original money maker and one that has tried to be repeated many times over (with no such luck) however with the advances in social m...

With online courses, full day seminars and formal certification to show potential employers these SEO guys certainly seem to know their stuff. Most of us would love to have a domain like seotraining.com as it is just a great name to show the world your seo expertise and build a platform for tens of ...

I have way too many bookmarks so my way to find the Google Adwords tool is archaic (type it in the tool bar over and over every day) but today was worth the humor. # 2 sponsored link was … I will not even link to this site since it does not deserve a link and will never understand how anyone ...

If you’re like I am and just have way too much to do then its easy to never follow up on good domains which were recently purchased and developed. Of course, a lot of sales are parked, more will never be developed and some will just sit with empty DNS for years to come but there has to be quit...

Halverez has finally been outed – Oversee has stepped up to the plate and not only publicly acknowledged the fraud but taken steps to compensate auction participants and implement policies to prevent this in the future. First, let me say this breach was a breach at the highest level – both p...
