The Unfortunate Reverse Domain Name Hijacking (RDNH) of RonPaul.org Morning Folks!! You can tell by the comments that there is a lot of mixed emotion on this one. I have yet to sort it out myself because of the "Unique facts". But my job here is to simply publish the results and sometimes some commentary. This one I need to think about. I need to examine the facts closely but this is a decision by a ...

The Charitable Domainer and a FREE Suite Upgrade at Bellagio Evening Folks!! Ever since AirKatrina.com in 2005, 3.5 hours at the FBI headquarters in Miami, unable to even call my wife, a $2500 legal bill, the Attorney General on TV about this case and one of Ricks Board members actually going to jail for 2 years, plus some personal fallout and more stress than anyone needed, I have shyed away ...

If you want to be a Successful INVESTOR, Stop Being a WHORE! Morning Folks!! If you can't handle the truth then stop reading and go buy a comic book. I have stated for years that the bar to entering domaining is very low and when you look at how some look at their business it becomes obvious. Even domain flippers are selling collectible and unique assets with an income producing potential with...

The Domain Industry. The Industry that Doubts Itself. Morning Folks!! How can it be?? How does it happen? An industry of such strong willed folks that are also strong doubters in what they themselves do. It is so sad to see folks reacting in a short term manner in what is a life long marathon.

NO WAY Jose!! ZERO TOLERANCE at T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Almost 10 years ago, before the first ever T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Conference, there was no Domain Industry - just a bunch of guys, and a few gals, hunched over their computers, trying to make some money buying, selling and monetizing domain names. But the first T.R.A.F.F.I.C. and all that came after created and sustained an industry that has...

Why do you Put Bread in the Oven for 20 Minutes? Morning Folks!! I thought of something the other day and how many folks may mistake things. For example I don't think people know the difference between STUPID and SIMPLE when it comes to people. Many label simple people for being stupid. The funny thing is many have it backwards. Their life is so complex that simple makes no sense t...

Avaya Inc. Found GUILTY of Reverse Domain Name Hijacking!! ROAST!!! Morning Folks!! And we can ask this. If Donald Trump and this pigeon shit company Avaya Inc with 17,500 employees tried to HIJACK one of his properties, what do you think the response would be?? I think I am FAR from being harsh. I think he would take this company to task publicly and shame them and each of those 17,500 people that a...

The Man that Traveled a MILLION Miles to Attend T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Morning Folks!! What if I told you that one of our attendees that most of you know has traveled a MILLION miles to come to TRAFFIC shows over the years. You would probably think I was exaggerating. So let's count. Each trip I count as 12,000 miles. 24,000 miles round trip. So if he went to 10 TRAFFIC shows that would be 240,000 miles...

"This Domain is For Sale" vs. The Ground Breaking JointVentures.com "Pitch Page" Morning Folks!! Progress does not happen overnight. Except last night. That's when we threw the switch and opened the FIRST PHASE of the JointVentures.com Pitch Page. What's a "Pitch Page"? It's more than just putting a sentence and letting them know it is for lease or sale or joint venture. May I introduce you to the first one. We n...

From Her Death Bed in 2010.......Mom Turns 90 Now Morning Folks!! A little over 3 years ago my mother was on her death bed. I had sent her and her friend on a cruise which was something I did for her 1x or 2x a year since my dad died about 15 years ago. She took very ill on the cruise in 2010 and she had to be flown home by a medical ambulance. If you go on a cruise, always get the ...

The Invisible Man in Domains. Time to PISS OFF the End User! And Others!! Morning Folks!! So we are talking with a lease candidate. We know they are having folks whisper SHIT in their ears. Each deal will come down to MONEY! Every one. We have lots of room to find the right mixture like gas and a carburetor in a car. This could be a closing pitch perhaps. Look, how do you see this dovetailing with your cur...

The 2009 Post that Started JointVentures.com. You Can't Make it Up! Morning Folks!! It was September 22, 2009 that I made my first post about JointVentures.com that I can find online and date stamped.
