Good day people. Have you received your Indeed.com check for the qauter yet? When I got home yesterday, waiting for me was an envelope from Indeed.com. Yes it is finally here, my very first check from Indeed. I thought it will never come, for most of the time until recently I had ignored the reven...

How far would you go to sell a domain? How far have you ever gone to sell one? How much would you spend to sell a domain? These are all the questions that came to mind as I opened my mail box yesterday and saw these two postcards amongst other mail from Google and Yahoo telling [...]...

Good day people. It is probably months now since my last post. Initially it was due to school but recently it has also been due to a medical condition. I am alright . Approximately one month ago I had a hip resurfacing surgery. Over 4 years ago, I sustained what at the time seamed like [...]...

Jessica Dicker of CNN Money wrote today that Gourmet Magazine after 70 years of publication will be shut down despite over 1 million subscribers. In addition to Gourmet, parenting magazine Cookie and two wedding magazines, Elegant Bride and Modern Bride will also  be getting  the axe.  “Th...

The Friday edition of  The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Bob Parson, the founder and CEO of GoDaddy.com has just paid a whooping $8.72 million for a Balinese -style house on Hawaii’s Big Island that was built by Singer-actress, Cher. The property went to auction last month. “Loc...

Happy new year everyone.  Over the last few days of last year, I worked tirelessly trying to bring a deal to a close. It was not easy having to balance between work, school and a rather demanding customer. Over a period of two weeks we went from a decent offer (I have refused better for the [...]...

Have you ever wondered how long it will take you to make it to the number one spot for your most coveted search term in Google? More importantly when you get there, have you ever wondered how long it will take you to climb back to the first page of search for your desired keyword much less your [...

Hello people. I am proud to be a domainer and my guess is that you are too, however the present and persistent happenings in the industry has given me cause to sit back and ponder. Every week great sales are announced. We all enjoy reading about those, don’t we? While theyare great news of hop...

Hello people. My disdain for 1&1 domain registrar is not new. I have often tagged them as the worst registrar in the world and rightly so.  They have one of the worst interface in my own opinion. They are also second only to GoDaddy in “bait and switch”. This is where a registrar  ...

Hello people. Some of you might have been wondering what’s up with me. Some pals even sent me emails and direct messages from twitter to make sure that all is well with me. Well I will update you on what has been happening since my sabbatical. First and foremost, I went back to school. I am [...

As some of you know, I am a big  fan of OLED which stands for An organic light emitting diode. I also own a good number of  OLED related names. I thought I should share this youtube video I ran across while checking up on OLED news and update. What is  your best OLED domain? I own P-OLED.com...

Today is Friday and I usually like to end the week on a lighter note. Nothing serious so if you do not have 3 minutes right away to read this post, you can always come back to it.  I won’t be mad. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. That is the [...]...

This is a special post not only because I ordinarily do not blog on Sundays but also because today is Father’s Day. This post also has some pictures which is an anomaly in my blog. I urge you domainers especially those of us that are very active in domaining and at work to take the [...]...

Ever wonder how a great one worder ends up on the delete list and finally in auction? Sometimes the owners are not stupid or too broke to renew it, they probably just can’t. They are probably dead and no one even knows that they owned such a domain or that they even owned domains at [...]...

Now here is a pace setter. I totally dig this news. It is not often that a registrar gets it but it seams fab does. When last did someone especially a registrar go out of there way to give you something for free? When all this go into place, Fab accounts will probably be one of [...]...

This is the guy who took classified ads to a whole new level with .us domains. In most cases he ranked  number one for his search term in Google or at least top 5.  I discovered this guy when I toyed with the idea of developing petclassifieds.org. He owns petclassifieds.us and was number one then ...

This is a quick update from yesterdays post, “When someone develops a site on a typo of your domain”. I am going to follow the advice of some of my readers and even my friends offline. Ironically the guy upped his offer by 700% to a wooping $40.  What I have come to realize is that [.....

It is happening to me. I used to think stuff like this was unthinkable. I have a domain name which has to do with Classified service in a particular country. Recently I started getting some unusual traffic from this domain. Nothing spectacular but more than usual. At this same time I received a $5 o...

This is by no means a review of Bing.com. Far from that. However this is a mini post about how I currently feel about Bing.com. This morning I decided to briefly test drive the Microsoft search platform called Bing.com. At first I was kinda pleasantly surprised about the layout which to me was somew...

Last week, I left a comment on Elliots Blog. He was talking about his domain goals and what he has achieved so far. Well a couple of readers where suprised  that  he did not mention Tropical Birds.  I went on to post a comment on how he could start from known to unknown, maybe start from the [....

I have not been posting frequently due to a couple of reasons. However this post is not about why I have not been posting but about something I came across in the media that I think is worth passing along. I ask you to indulge me for the next 6 minutes of your life and [...]...

This post might come as a surprise to some of  you who actually ready my blog. I know I have once proclaimed eNom as one of the best registrars in the world. Well I am going to rescind that honor in this post and I will tell  you why in very few words. Enom is great, [...]...

One of my pastimes is perusing the local flea market. I have also convinced my wife that it is a fun thing to do. Due to a sports injury, I often simply ride around the flea market in my truck instead of walking. This last weekend as I was making my rounds as I call [...]...

Effective today, I have decided to remove the NoFollow attribute from all comment posted here at SkyDomains. By default, anyone who includes their URL in the URL/Webpage  field when submitting a comment has the NoFollow attribute automatically attached   to that link. This “theoreticallyâ€...
