| TESTING A NEW TECHNOLOGY DOMAIN WITH A DOMAINER’S BRAIN
Thanks for checking out the site — it should be an interesting sales pitch.
A lot of you know that I have been buying future trend domain names for six years. An associate of mine brought up a question last night that I thought was interesting. “Do other domainers know the value of future trend domains

| WHICH IS BETTER? 300 NEW REGS OR A $2500 AFTERMARKET DOMAIN?
(This blog article is entirely inspired by my friend Elliot Silver’s blog article)
Elliot Silver, who I respect in the highest regard, stated on one of his recent blog articles:
“I would much rather own one good name that I bought for $2,500 than 300 newly registered names. If you don’t end up selling them, you’re

| WHYPARK AGAIN, YES AGAIN, PUSHES MY DOMAIN TO THE FRONT!
Okay, I’ve seen the lying, manipulative comments by the hundreds on the various blogs, from webmasters to a few domainers. I continually ignored most of them… but no more.
I’m sick of reading “new” comments and blog articles based on those old posts about WhyPark users (from 2007) claiming to be using W...

| MY DOMAINS ARE PREMIUMS, SO WHY DO I SELL THEM CHEAP?
I own a lot of great domains. I bought portfolios over the years because they were sold cheap, and I resold pieces of these portfolios for as much as I paid for the whole portfolios. Every domainer should be so lucky! I usually sell these quickly through Snapnames, Sedo, and Afternic. However, I’m no longer

| WHYPARK HITS ME A HOME RUN IN THE FIRST INNING
It’s no secret that I’m a big WhyPark.com fan. From having the best head honcho (of any domain industry company) in Craig Rowe, to their CS wizard, Kelly Urqhart, and their PPC pals at Parked.com (I think I’ve heard of names there like “donny, “monte”, “sigmund” and others, ) the fact...

| WHAT DOMAINERS WANT – ADD YOURS
I thought this would be a nice little “summary” of what I hear from my domainer friends, clients and associates on what they would like to see in the year 2010:
1) No runaway prices on domain registrations. Currently, it seems ICANN is going against the current recession, allowing Verisign to raise prices on .com extensio...

| IS IT TIME FOR AUCTION SITES TO MARKET TO END USERS?
As a domain appraiser for almost a decade, I started out confused after reading the domains that sold at “no reserve” at DFG yesterday. I had 13 “zero reserve” domains accepted by Moniker Auctions for the DFG 2010. I expected some bidding on several of these domains, because most of them get enough traffic to

I really enjoy reading and perusing my associates’ blogs and domain industry service/products websites. I wonder in amazement at the speed in which my domain industry friends are able to produce their ideas into working sites and make them grow so quickly. It’s truly impressive.

| AMAZING DOMAIN TRICK – GOOGLE FEATURE UNVEILED
Hi Gang,
I’m going to give a way a secret I’ve been using for several years. This feature involves a process of “gauging” the popularity of your generic descriptive domain of prodservs. (This may be the biggest DOMAINING TIP you received all year.)

Here’s some news I found while researching the ridiculous ruling in California awarding Chris Bosh 800 domains from an alleged “cybersquatter”, Luis Zavalda, thereby making Chris Bosh the NEW cybersquatter… if that makes sense to you, you’re a Glenn Beck fan.

Hi Gang,
I was getting ready to submit over 500 of my premium domains (not in my future trend list) to Sedo, and I received quite a few requests from some pro domainers to see the list first. I thought, “what the heck.” So I’m dangling them out to the domain crowd before they have to
