| $25.5 Million – ReliableRemodeler.com

CardRatings.com, a site with just under 100,000 visitors a month (not an enormous amount of traffic by any measure) was sold for $10.2 million CASH (m...

| Michael Castello – Rock Star Domainer!
What I love about this business is most domain investors never grew up wanting to be in the domaining industry. Most of us fell in to domains by one way or another but never from a childhood dream of owning a domain name.
Fact is anyone around for 10 years + probably never had a computer

| 18k Visitors and 70k year – Why the Web Rocks
Every year people come up with great ideas to make money online which do not involve parking and these stories should inspire all.

| Best Sites Developed in 2009
If you’re like I am and just have way too much to do then its easy to never follow up on good domains which were recently purchased and developed. Of course, a lot of sales are parked, more will never be developed and some will just sit with empty DNS for years to come but

| Jets.com – a Very Bad (Brokered) Sale.
I have little desire to blog these days but every now and then a sale is published and I say to myself – seriously, who sold that name at such a crazy give-away price or (probably more times) who is the crazy person who just paid XXXXXX for that name. Not a day goes by
