Popularity can be a good thing, but it also has its downside as well. Celebrities may have screaming fans and may get that special treatment here, there and everywhere, but it is no pleasure when their private lives are laid bare open for all to see in the press. Well the same thing happens with hav...

We had previously announced our intentions to start another domaining contest here at eBusinessDomains.com in early June. We decided to delay the launch, as we wanted to go live with eBD.me first. eBD.me is now live, but we are still working tirelessly on quite a few other projects. As matter of fac...

The landrush for the Facebook vanity URL has begun! Although I’m a domainer, this is the first ever landrush that had me waiting at my computer, counting down the time. Of all the social networks out there, I prefer Facebook, and that is the only platform that I use for personal purposes, while T...

The British recession was declared over by the Britain’s leading economics think-tank yesterday after it released upbeat estimates showing that growth in GDP resumed in April and May. This is the news reported by all major newspapers yesterday including The Times and The Independent. What does thi...

In every industry there are fanatics. There are people are you fanatical about aeroplanes (airplanes), some about cars, some about bikes, some about software development, some about travelling, and the list goes on. Domaining is no exception. The good thing about domaining is that people can make se...

Our domain auction platform is now all set to do business. We have been testing it for the past couple of weeks, and all the bugs that we encountered have now been fixed. In the very near future we will start sending premium domains to our auctions on a daily basis, right here at eBusinessDomains.co...

A few weeks ago a blogged about the birth eBD.me. We had only acquired the domain name then. It was only after acquiring the domain name EBD.me that I found out that “EBD” is widely used as an abbreviation for Emotional and Behavioural Disorder, sickness that is quite widespread in a few countri...

I personally think a lot of people use the term premium domain names a bit too. Some think a premium domain is any domain name that will sell on the domain aftermarket. Some think that a premium domain name is a premium domain name if it is registered, pre-owned and is being offered for sale [...]...

At the request of end-users we keep most sales data private. After all, buyers are entitled to conduct business with some sort of privacy and dignity. Some buyers just want a category-killer premium domain name for their business. They don’t want to be brandished shamelessly in forums and on blogs...

I will quickly raise my hand here. I use to have this mentality that domains should not be sold. A domain name is quite unique, and if you happen to own a particular domain name, as there is none like it the value can only increase. This is true, but only for some domain names. As [...]...

If you understand the term “there is no smoke without fire”, then you will understand this blog post. I believe more and more domainers are now realising that quality domain names are now the order of the new domain day. Domain parking is now showing some slight recovery, but still a very long w...

There are now almost 183 million domain names registered around the world across all Top Level Domains (TLDs) according to the latest 2009 Domain Name Industry Brief from VeriSign. This represents a 17 per cent increase year-on-year and a four per cent increase over the fourth quarter of 2008. Regis...

This is the question that would be best answered by Ashton Kutcher, the man that famously beat global media giant CNN (@cnnbrk) in a race to be the first Twitter user to hit one million followers. Well, Ashton has done it again by passing the significant milestone of 2 million Twitter followers. Kut...

I have quite a few great Brazilians friends here in London, and as such I want to just quickly and publicly offer my condolences to the families and friends of the victims of the recent crash of Air France Flight 447. What really happened over the Atlantic Ocean is really still a mystery. As with al...

I was doing some SEO work and analysis on Exdon.com, one of our brands, and came across a very interesting Namepros forum thread. Now I am not in any way annoyed or upset with the thread. The thread starter stated that he had listed his domains at Exdon.com and that he had received an offer of [...]...

Microsoft has unexpectedly launch their new search engine ahead of schedule. Bing.com is the new face of search and will replace Live.com. Searches from Live are already being redirected to Bing.com. Microsoft is quoted on saying: ”Bing is specifically designed to build on the benefits of today...

There are so many domainers that live for the domain drop. Some domainers spend hours daily sifting through countless expired domain lists. Who said that domainers were lazy? Some people use expired domain lists to search for domain names with traffic while some focus solely on quality domain names....

Everyday we have some sort of breaking news of some sort. Some are great while some are tragic and terrible. However, no matter what the news is, as long as it it is popular there will surely be a bunch of domain squatters and/or speculators hoping to cash in on the news of the day. Whether [...]...

You may remember my infamous “A New Domain King Is Born” blog post that made some people laughed so much, they nearly lost their rice crispies. Don’t hold your breath, there is nothing to laugh about this time . I have now registered eBD.me, my first .Me domain name. So what will I do wit...

Is your ebusiness build on a solid rock or is it build on sinking sand? Do you have a concrete plan or, are you just doing random things with the hope that one day you will strike it lucky? A lot of people say that they want to succeed, but deep down they are lying to themselves. [...]...

I will declare at the very outset of this post that I am not an expert on blogging or social media or whatever fancy terms that are flying about out there. When God created me, he gave me a big head and stuffed a brain in it. That is what I use. There is nothing like [...]...

A new day has truly begun in the domain industry. For years, domainers failed to see any potential for domain names beyond domain parking. With the current economic downturn inevitably came a reduction in domain parking revenues, to say the least. For most domainers, it was more like a monetization ...

Last night I watched the first live semi-final of this year’s Britain’s Got Talent. It was indeed a fantastic line up of acts, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the show; well almost every minute. But of course, without a shadow of a doubt, the real star of the show was Susan Boyle. She g...

A lot of people seem to think that older domains are more valuable. The notion is that if a domain name was created/registered a few years ago it would be more valuable than one that was created, let’s say last month. This quite frankly, in my opinion is blatant nonsense. Quality domain names are ...

This is a very interesting one indeed. One giant has openly conceded to another, but promises the game is not yet over. Yahoo’s CTO has told the Reuters Global Technology Summit “Search the way we know it, with 10 blue links, Google has clearly won that game. Saying anything other than that is j...
