I am sort of taking the day off today to get a few things done, but here are a number of names that I am selling at very good prices to clear them out of my inventory. I don’t think I will get to develop them, so I might as well sell them. SchoolVacations.com - [...] Related posts:Domain Cl...

There are two new features I really like about Domaining.com. The first is that I can now filter the blogs and domain news sources I want to read from those that I don’t. There seems to be data overload in the domain space, and it’s annoying when I miss a good article from [...] Rela...

One thing I think about when evaluating domain names to purchase is the possibility that there are alternative spellings to the domain names - both accepted spellings and common typos. If the alternate spellings are common, I typically won’t buy these types of names, because there will often b...

I am not a native New Yorker.  I have only lived on the Upper West Side of Manhattan for six and a half years, but I feel like a New Yorker.  I hate crowds of tourists, I try my hardest not to pass through Times Square, I love running/rollerblading/playing tennis/walking in Central Park, I know [....

With the economic crisis causing a major impact to New York City’s revenue, the city is hoping to cash in on the .nyc extension, which they hope will be approved quickly and available to sell by next summer. According to an article appearing today in Crain’s, “City Council Speaker ...

It’s only February 12, but I am already thinking about tax time in just a couple of months.  I am not a finance or numbers guy, so I use an accountant to file my taxes, although I keep very good records of sales, expenses and other transactions. One thing that made my life easier a couple [.....

WhyPark announced some changes to their monetization model today, and these changes should lead to higher payouts for domain owners who have sites with WhyPark. It’s also a good way to test your ad system vs. their feed in a vacuum environment (testing is the best way to see what works and wha...

Buying domain names that are confusingly similar to your brand or product is a smart move that many companies don’t consider. However, owning domain names that are confusingly similar to your brands, but not forwarding that traffic to your main website is just plain stupid! Extra TV, an NBC t...

I just did some searching on Snapnames, and I updated my Top Snapnames Drops page. I don’t usually buy .org domain names, but there are a couple of nice ones that will be dropping. Related posts:DomainInvesting.com a “Top Drop” I just updated my picks for “Top Drops”...

I have too much work on my plate already to develop the domain names I am selling below.  Two of these names are greatly reduced in price, and the third is being offered for sale on my blog for the first time.  First to post “sold” will get the names.  I will also buy you [...] Rela...

According to an 8-K Form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission late yesterday, Tucows entered into an agreement to sell a small portfolio of 2,553 domain names for an aggregate price of $1,000,000.  Payment will be made in all cash, with $900,000 being paid at the close of the sale, $50...

I believe that most people who are involved in the domain industry don’t do it full time.  Many are involved with the Internet in one way or another, but their domain investments are made passively, and they spend time on them when they can. That being said, I am wondering what my readers do ...

I never thought I would say (write) that, but it’s true. I LOVE Canada. Well, maybe not Canada or Canadians per se. I don’t have anything against Canadians of course, but that’s not really the point. Ok, so what IS the point? Well, after some diligent analytics and analysis, I ...

With domain tasting nearly dead, there seems to be a lot of opportunities today to register some decent new domain names as the tasters aren’t keeping everything. In the past several months, this hasn’t really been the case. I’d find decent names, but not really at the volume as ...

I read a thread on a domain forum this evening that really pissed me off. Two people were highly critical of my friend Ron Jackson, and they were downright rude in their criticism. I think that people have the right to be critical of others (and I encourage it sometimes), but the rudeness that was [...

Apparently there’s a new stimulus bill that might be passed in the amount of $780 BILLION.  Well, I decided to spend $30.00 and lock up these 4 domain names just in case this becomes a landmark stimulus: 780Billion.com 780BillionDollars.com 780BillionDollarStimulus.com 780BillionStimulus.com ...

I just spent some time searching through SnapNames to find some good drops and good auctions now that the DomainFest auctions have all closed. Some of these are private BIN auctions, while most are dropping names captured by Snap. AgingWorkshop.com AlisoViejoJobs.com BabySitterStore.com BookcasesWo...

It’s only a matter of time before our computers and televisions are completely integrated into a single unit, allowing us to surf online, watch television shows, and do work all from the same unit.  The lead story on CNN at the moment is about Web Television and how the Internet is slowly bec...

Having the category defining domain name for your field or industry can put you many steps ahead of your competitors, but in order to have a successful business, you need more than just the domain name. A solid business plan is important for any company who wishes to do business on their category d...

In the past couple of months, I’ve registered a few “new” domains. Some were expirations and a few were fresh registrations.  CigarEnthusiasts.com HeatingOilDelivery.com Frengles.com (French Bulldog & Beagle Hybrid - I have a Puggle) DrinkKoozie.com DrinkKoozies.com ThreeIn...

When you attempt to sell a domain name, you are generally in a weaker position than when someone sends you an unsolicited email to buy a domain name. In the first situation, you are trying sell a domain name on your terms, and you need to find a buyer who can meet them. In [...] Related posts:Art...

A few weeks ago, Rob Sequin suggested that I install a widget on my blog allowing visitors to subscribe to the comments, allowing them to know when others posted.  This a good way for visitors to track any follow-up comments that they left, since there are so many things going on in the life of [.....

With America’s work situation getting worse, now is a good opportunity to buy a job-related domain name.  I am selling WorkOpportunities.com for $7,800. Of course the name JobOpportunities.com is a better domain name, but I also think that is easily a low to mid 6 figure domain name. People a...

Have you ever received more than one email offer or inquiry on a domain name in a short period of time and not know why?  I am sure most people search for the domain’s key term(s) in Google to see what people might be looking to find, but that might not get you the most [...] Related posts:...
