Year to date Sales
As a domain trader who knows full well from experience that flipping domains cheaply is a double sided coin - good for short term cashflow but it’s amazing how some domains once flipped go on to achieve really good aftermarket sales. Flip by all means but keep abreast of current market sales for good domains.

RBC.mobi in my bank statement A short break from .ca today... I've followed the .mobi extension since the landrush in the fall of 2006, and while I didn't break the bank on them, I own some good generics.

Drumming in the benefits of a good generic domain name My friend and fellow Targeted Traffic Forum board member, Edwin Hayward, got it right with domains and got it early.

.Net Names are Hot… But Why? Although .net names seem to be selling well these days, I don’t particularly like the .net extension. There are a few reasons for this, but what it boils down to is that I would never develop a .net domain name, and I don’t know why someone else would - unless there are extenuating circumstances (like
