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...

First let me say this is not a post about either Rick personally but it’s about the way of thought many domainers exercise in the current industry. The economic variables of today we are forced to work in will certainly bring opportunity to many domainers but this opportunity must be considered mo...

After speaking with a few people today it was clear that many people might have no idea Rick Latona has an extended auction going on SEPERATE of Moniker’s extended auction outside of clicking on the banner of domaining.com I spoke with a half a dozen good buyers today and 3 of them (50%) assum...

Shoemoney had a good article about a new service which matches advertisers with popular tweeters. For those of you don’t know Ad.Ly – is the new service matching advertisers (including many A+ clients like NBC, Universal and Microsoft with tweeters. According to Ad.Ly’s website the...

For newbies and math geeks alike here is an oldie but goodie link to some very interesting stats about the number of domains registered years after year. Quite amazing to see where we are today, what opportunities were missed just a few years ago and more. Enjoy… http://zooknic.com/Domains/cou...

I have little desire to blog these days but every now and then a sale is published and I say to myself – seriously, who  sold that name at such a crazy give-away price or (probably more times) who is the crazy person who just paid XXXXXX for that name. Not a day goes by when one of these 2 questi...

A .info sells for 1 million dollars. Amazing story where the buyer wanted the name for 3 years from the seller and only now both finally agreed on a price. With a seller having the cohonas to hold out and the buyer having persistence to get what he wanted. Is this a true story? No.  but it’s a le...

Below are our top picks for Moniker’s second showcase auction. The last auction was a great success imo and hopefully we will see another good round of sales from the Snap and Moniker teams. Good luck to all buyers and sellers! Enjoy… AdjustableRateLoan.net BalanceTransfers.net BusinessPromotion...

At first read you may think this is a joke of a question but its actually quite serious since from what I can see we have such an incredible amount of dumb people in this industry. With that statement made, its worthy to note there are (without question) some incredibly smart, talented and professio...

For some time now I thought it was just me and since we are not a big fan of GoDaddy with all the ads and upsells everywhere you look I’ve been ok with letting it ride. However yesterday during the course of conversation with a few investors it came to my attention it’s not just our problem. Fir...

$3 million later and Candy.com is live. The site is practically perfect and has incorporated everything from bulk candy to retro candy (you know, the sweet candy we all can not believe we are actually old enough to consider retro) Its not very often domains sell and re-appear with sites which look a...

In a follow up to yesterday’s article about learning how to search better and not follow the herd when it comes to domain auctions the SnapNames summers auction is providing a great example of how people simply do not look for names that are available as “Buy it Now” and care more ...

Few can argue that auction mentality for buying domains is far different than purchasing names listed on venues with buy it now prices however deals exist – sometimes far better deals than anything you can find in auction. Fact is SOOO many domains sell between $1000-$5000 in drop auctions eve...

Every domainer has visited this page – if you haven’t then you really don’t care about trademarks and .com is not fully ingrained in your brain. I visit this page probably a dozen times a month purely by accident however instead of clicking I chuckle with joy for the owner of the domain who ha...

A few months back I gave mini-site providers a hard time since they were all doing the same thing .. or at least showcasing the same thing. Of course they all argued that behind the scenes they were fundamentally different and gave an incredible value to the price points they charged. Yada, Yada, Ya...

Yes – we are selling a few domains. Do we need the money for other projects or did we wake up saying that we feel its time to offer the best deal in the world … yada yada yada. No – everybody has a name or two to sell. No excuses. No car salesman pitch. No need for the cash. No stupid “50 mi...

A long weekend, some fireworks in the USA, some good domain catches by Europeans while Americans were adding on more pounds … today is Monday so lets insert some good old humor to get the day started. Anyone know of any good links to Canadian humor please post. Thanks to Michael at DNHeadlines.c...

If you are serious about building a geo site then it’s critical to take notes from successful geo sites which have been developed by industry and not domainers. Fact is most every domainer has a limited budget, limited resources and most importantly – limited knowledge of what makes a good geo s...

Whats a holiday weekend without sex? Well, sadly many people prefer tweeting to sex (or any physical contact with the real world) but those guys never really could get laid anyway. So today we bring both groups a little fun – from the wild and crazy hedonism.com to tweeters.com for the geeks. ...
