DomainFlipBlog.com is now Domainvestors.tv! ...

I wrote a short article this weekend about .tel and the repsonse has been amazing. This is definitely a topic people are interested in and also a TLD that many are yet to fully understand. The first thing you have to do is stop thinking of .tel as a TLD - think of it as a new concept. .tel is not li...

I’ll begin this post by saying that I’m not yet convinced that .tel is the wave of the future. That being said, I have bought *some* .tel domains but these still represent less than 1% of my portfolio. There has been a lot of buzz about .tel and plenty of articles written both in the Dom...

In lesson #5 of my Domaining Video Power Course I discuss keyword research. This is a very important topic for new domainers to understand. By identifying popular keywords you can write targeted content that will reach a larger audience and help your domain rank better in search engines. I have als...

Today JuryLaw(.)com generated $3 from a single click - which is not surprising given that the eCPM was $1,026.90! The  domain is not getting very much traffic - currently getting only a few hits a day. It will likely take a few months for the SEO-optimized site I designed to start improving search ...

Today, Gary Taylor - a Domainer in the UK had a very interesting post on his blog about video and SEO. In his post he says: “If you want to get great exposure for your domains then get out the camcorder and start creating videos, almost 30 million Brits are watching!” For those who haven...

UPDATE: Site seems to be running fine now. Outage seems lasted from 1AM-1:11AM PST. Can anyone confirm?  It looks like NamePros.com is down right now as of around 1AM PST.  I have posted a screenshot of the error below. No reports yet from NamePros. Hopefully NamePros.com will be back up and runni...

JuryLaw.com - a domain I purchased from Bido eleven days ago is now live! This domain has now been transformed into a web destination for people searching for information about jury duty and the jury trial process. There is a lot of information on this site and it is specifically targeted for what p...

Rick Schwartz wrote an incredible post this morning titled - Why I came up with a 20 Year plan……Progress Report. In his post Rick says: “See I believe and have always believed that domains would be an overnight sensation that would be 20 years in the making. The next 20 years I ...

After finishing my Friday night blog-reading ritual (yes - I am a huge dork) I had some reflections on the week and more ideas for the weekend. First, one thing became clear this week - the Domaining world is changing. For the first time there is a change in focus from .com to the entire world of cc...

In my second video blog entry I discuss ccTLD’s and the launch of Rick Latona’s new forum, ccTLDs.com. The goal of this video is to give domain investors some important fundamentals about ccTLDs and important things to consider when thinking of investing in a ccTLD. I also discuss some...

I am planning to finish JuryLaw(dot)com this weekend and release it on Sunday. I thought this would be a good time to explain some of the things I have done to optimize this domain for SEO - including new optimizations for Google’s new Universal Search. As always, the first part of my developm...

I began development on JuryLaw(dot)com this weekend. All of my development takes place on Saturday and Sunday. I usually spend about half of each weekend day working on new projects. The first step with any project is research. I started doing keyword research and looking at the most popular jury-r...

Welcome to my new Sunday tradition - a VLog or video blog entry about what I think is a hot issue right now in the Domaining community. It is very important for Domainers to understand how their search engine rankings will change with Google’s new search algorithm so I made this the topic of ...

So we’ve all heard the idea of Intent-based search and changes to Google’s search algorithm in 2009. Now,  WebProNews is reporting that FAQ pages could be used to boost your Google ranking in this new world of Intent-based search. The article has a great quote from Keith Hogan, the VP o...

I have had a number of questions about this after my recent article - Domain Investing Article #2: Wordpress and Domaining. It can be a bit confusing setting-up Wordpress on GoDaddy for the first time. Many tutorials on this topic seem to leave-out a key step - finding the information you need to e...

Today I won my first auction at Bido. So I’ll start this post with a big “Thank You” to the whole Bido team. Bido is a revolutionary auction service that is absolutely changing the domaining world. It does feel nice buying a domain and knowing without a shadow of a doubt that you w...

Linton Investments has unveiled its latest creation - DNVideos.net, a website dedicated to premium Domaining videos. This site was inspired by blog readers who have told me over and over again how hard it is to find high-quality, reliable videos about Domaining online. With so many marketing videos ...

Wordpress is oftentimes thought of as a blogging platform, dig a little deeper and you’ll find that Wordpress is used for countless other applications online. As a highly customizable blogging option Wordpress attracts the technically-inclined looking to get under the hood of their blog. With ...

Since I started this blog back in October of 2007 I have always found a lot of confusion around the term “domain flipping”. I think at least once a year I will re-visit this topic and give people a detailed look at what the Domain Flipping process involves. I have written several posts a...

If you haven’t caught-onto the Twitter craze yet then it’s time to leave the cave and come play with the rest of the world. All joking aside, Twitter is making headlines everywhere. I was watching the news this morning and the reporter spent an entire five-minute segment just dedicated t...

I just watched a very inspirational video by Gary Vaynerchuk. If you don’t know who this guy is - don’t feel bad - he isn’t a player in the Domaining community - or is he? Gary is a player in the Web 2.0 community and this is a world where every Domainer should be living. Gary has ...

This year I have decided to start an article-series on my blog. Each month I will write a new article focused on a different aspect of Domaining. I invite anyone to re-print or re-use this article or any part of it as long as proper credit is given along with a link back to my blog. This first artic...

I finally had some time this weekend to sit down and record the fourth lesson in my Domaining Video Power Course.
