My Dot US idol is re-branding to Dot Com! 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

Update: When someone develops a typo of your domain 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

What do you do when someone develops a typo of your domain? 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 offer

Why I am currently pissed at Bing.com 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 somewhat unusual.

It is much easier to be critical than to be correct 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

Domaining tips that will help you in any economy 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.

Somebody Pinch me!: What am I still doing with eNom? 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.

Nature Calling: A case of bad branding? 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

Removing NoFollow from Blog 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 “theoretically” tells Google and other search engines not to ...

A Little HTML Trick I Use Some weeks ago, I read a post on ElliotsBlog about HTML. (Hyper Transfer Markup Language) I was not able to comment at the time because I was on a mobile network and pressing those little phone buttons are not that much fun for my big fingers. Well I tried to find the post now so that

Where There is No Vision, Domainers Perish Lets go back to why you started domaining. Was it to make the registrars richer? Was it to spend countless hours looking over endless list of domains you own? What was your original vision? What did you hope to accomplish by now? If you are not there yet, are you on the right path? MY IMAGINATION

A Domain Poem by a Non Poet: Oh Domainers The Economy tumbles
Like a Frisbee against the Summer wind
The Domain King strikes again
Candy sells for millions
Not a million candy
Just one Candy
The only Candy in the world.
Call it Voodoo if you like
That too is gone
Parking revenue goes south
Domainers monetize adsense in force
Domaining.com goes Twitter
Domainers discover T...

So you wanna be a domainer with $100? I have always imagined what I would tell someone who is just starting out in the domain business, in this time in our hemisphere. My advice is so simple that its simplicity might put some people off. I remember when I was a personal trainer, everyone wanted the quick fix. It has not changed even

How do you decide what domain name to renew and what name to let expire? While chatting with a pal the other day over at Twitter. He asked me a rather interesting question “How do you decide what domain to re-register and which one to drop?’ You see over at twitter I give away free domains once in while if I do not want to renew them so this I

How to Buy…. Anything
While I cannot claim credit for the heading of this post. It always amazes me when mainstream media makes any sort of reference to the domain industry. If you haven’t read this story yet then it is new to you. I subscribe to BestLife, a mainstream magazine I consider somewhat acceptable to my taste. Anyway in the current issue...

What will your Twitter account be worth in 5 years or more? Peace people. I have not posted for a while for a couple of reasons. However this post is not about why I have not posted in the past week and half. This post is about the growing trend and popularity of Twitter and how it could rock your domain empire in a couple of years.
