.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

Replying to “Low-Ball” offers on domain names This is another user submitted question that I would like to explain what I do.
How do you reply to a "low-ball offer"?
I am always nice about it and never act like I am upset over the amount offered. A good example is a reply that I got the other day. "I’ve never bought a domain

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. Like me, he's one of the few domainers who truly understand the call to action potential of domains. The kind of results I blogged about in the post below this. Edwin's site advocates:

I've always thought .mobi had a chance of making it, not because it's NEEDED, but because of marketing and the 'cool' factor (plus it's easier to get a good .mo...
