 | Content > Domains… Part 1
Since I am primarily a developer rather than a “pure” domainer, I will be posting and reviewing examples of creative, interesting, and inspirational websites that “anyone” could potentially set up and develop. Beware: creativity required.

 | Help, I'm Desperate!
I've been visiting a few forums that I wouldn't normally visit lately. They are the ones where people are looking for online riches. It started when somebody asked me what I thought of the Rich Jerk. To be honest, I've seen the ads, but have always disregarded it. The style of the ads just isn't me. So I decided to take a look and gi...

Specifically let’s talk about the adult auction to be held tomorrow in Florida.

 | Pizza.com follow up. What has the new owner done with it?
After spending several million dollars on the domain name, I figured there would be a new sleek design with several great partnerships with some of the leading chains in the pizza biz….

| But what should I develop my sites about??? Funny you should ask!
The following screenshot may be insightful (taken today, courtesy of Google Trends). I hope it needs no explanation. I advocate what could be called “trend surfing” or keeping track of currently popular fads and social trends to keep my content fresh, topical, and of interest.

| Have some Adult domains to sell?
Adult domains can be hard to sell on domain name forums, as well as ebay. Afternic doesn’t accept them either. Sedo stopped at one point, but I think are accepting them again. So this leaves only one option within the domain industry, so why not try Outside the domain industry!

 | Bido.Com: No More Weekend Auctions (After this week)
We decided it’s time to eliminate “weekend auctions” on Bido. While it works fine, most of us, like the rest of the world, deserve a couple of days off a week. It is hard for us to keep the team coming 7 days a week to monitor auctions, especially when weekend activity is extremely light to begin with.
So, this week...

 | Possible First Reported $xxx,xxx idn Sale
According to this thread on dnf and this one in idnforums there might have been a $xxx,xxx sale for an idn domain.
The domain was not publicly disclosed, however it is a Russian term. Alexa is 0, so there is probably not much traffic.
