Greetings! It is Saturday again!! A cold and wet day here in London, but the parties must go on . Earlier in the week we heard the news of a minisite service provider closing shop. Well I’m not in any celebratory mood, though many of you may think that I would have reasons to be, neither [...] ...

Over the past few weeks I have been analysing the domain parking model in these domainer musings posts, in a bid to illustrate why so many domainers are hooked in domain parking land. This series was inspired by a seemingly unwillingness of the masses to accept that domain parking and web developmen...

At the time of reading this it should be Saturday again!! At the time of writing, it’s Tuesday night. I am quickly writing a post to be auto-published for this week’s domain musings as I have an all-week conference to attend that will also last all weekend. So these are not necessarily musings, ...

There seem to be two sets of minds operating in the domain industry: those who get the concept of branding, and those who flatly refused to be weaned from domain parking. Those who get branding are normally the ones who understand the importance of quality domain names, and possess the wisdom of cho...

It’s Saturday, again!! A Jet Is A Jet Well the big saga this week was the sale of Jets.com. Last week we had Mint.com, but that wasn’t a domain sale. This Jets.com sale however is indeed a domain sale. The domain Jets.com was sold for ONLY $375,000. ONLY. We often rate domains by how much they s...

In my last musings, I stated that we would be making some exciting announcements this week. Our email subscribers should have already received the news. Now it’s time to announce to our blog subscribers. We will be doing a press release in the near future. Submitting Domains To The eBusinessDomain...

Greetings! It’s Saturday again!!! Mint.com sold for $170 Million The big news this week is the sale of Mint.com for $170 million. No, it was NOT the sale of a domain name. Neither was it the sale of a website. It was the sale of a business. Well, in this case, an ebusiness, as it operated solely o...

Recently there have been numerous reports about all sorts of domain scams and high profile domain thefts by fraudsters and scammers. Hackers and other criminal minds manage to steal domains and then barefacedly try to sell them in the domain aftermarket. This sort of thing can be very horrendous to ...

It’s Saturday, again!!! Where is the time going? I have been saying that web development is hard work. But the truth is, web development is damn easy. There is an orgy of tools (even free ones) that you could use to build web pages and even multi-page websites without even writing the opening html...

It’s Saturday again!! Why I am Blogging Less These Days I took the right decision when I suspended advertisement on eBusinessDomains.com earlier this year. Advertisement revenue is good as at the very minimum, it could help to maintain the website. However, personally speaking, when I used to acce...

It is Saturday, again!! Happy birthday Michael Jackson! Yes, Michael Jackson was born 51 years ago, today. Last night I went to watch the premiere of The Final Destination in 3D at the London O2, the venue where Michael Jackson should have been having his This Is It shows. As we were walking pass t...

I have blogged numerous times in the past about us European domainers raising the bar even higher in the domain industry. We are involved in just about every aspect of this great industry, and when we do something, we do it well. Domain conferences are no exception. We have already seen some great d...

It is Saturday, again!! You must have noticed that I am not blogging much these days. I have a really hectic schedule to contend with, and quite a few web development projects consuming most of my time. We are moving some heavy duty machinery behind the scenes here at eBusinessDomains.com. Lots of g...

It is Saturday, again!!! This is a quick post as I got to join some peeps for a trip to the British seaside. It’s one of those days when you visit the stony, not-so-white sandy beaches and pretend that you are in Jamaica. Good thing is that I was in the Caribbean only a few weeks ago, [...] ...

Firstly, I believe the term “brandable domain name” confuses a lot of people. In my mind any domain name that makes sense can be a brandable domain name, including the best of one-word generic domain names. When I use the term brandable domain name, I refer to a premium domain name that meets th...

The domain space is getting very competitive! Competition is great for business and will perhaps help to build the domain industry. I am genuinely amazed however, as to how some big players can seemingly get nervous by the moves that the “little guy” is making. I am not a troublemaker, I just te...

Time is surely waiting for no one. I really can’t believe it is Saturday again. Normally I would take 5 minutes to write these Saturday posts and then go and have fun somewhere in the city. Well today, it has happen the other way around. Anyway, better late, than never. I just love technology and ...

I am not sure if there are any Twitter rules that were created to specifically eliminate the use of usernames that may infringe on registered trademarks. With the growing popularity of Twitter, and the widespread knowledge and existence of domain squatting, it was only a matter of time before squatt...

The entries are getting better and better, and we now feel confident to guarantee the prize. There are some concepts that we are really excited about, and it is getting extremely hard to ...

Greetings from a very wet London! Why do I live in a place with such miserable weather? But then, I think I know why. I love travelling, and when you live in a wet and miserable place like London, you really want to just hop on an aeroplane and fly somewhere exotic! If I lived in [...] ...

I have heard someone said before that people who commit crimes do so because they thought they could get away with it. Then there is the classic, “Innocent, until proven guilty”. I have seen a few blogs highlighting the “error” over at Wikipedia, where it is redirecting searches for the term...

I have done the extensive research, and it is now time to start putting things into action. As per my blog post on Sunday, I will be seeking to get at least 2 brands off the ground by year-end. After browsing through our extensive domain portfolio, and conducting extensive research, I have decided t...

I have worked with loads of designers and web developers over the years. Some were good, some were bad, while some had the skills but didn’t take pride in their work. We are well underway in our switch from domain parking to launching minisites for the majority of our domains. While my very compet...

Why do I blog? God only knows. Anyway, as I have stated before, I blog to draw attention to my domain marketplace and to help build my brand. I believe this blog has earned this website enormous exposure, and even a few domain sales. We are not currently accepting advertising requests, but it also b...
