 | Experiments In Domain Selling
I've been experimenting with a select few of my domain names that I consider non-core to my business this weekend. Though it's not the best time to sell domain names (when is?) at the moment, I felt compelled to do at least the bare minimum to get the domains noticed. What most domainers do, is go onto various domain boards and promo...

 | WordPress; A Domainers Miracle Wand
I have been aware of WordPress for a long time now but have never actually used it until May of this year. This post might come as common place to a lot of domainers but this is awesome discovery for me. In less than two hours I was able to redesign an old website desperately

 | 3 Letter Domains - What Are They Worth
What is a 3 letter domain worth? I have seen recent pricesstart at under 10k with a high of 195k for MCC.com at RickLatona's auction at Traffic. Of course there have been some unreported sales much higher. 3 letters .com's are interesting since the letters could stand for many different combinations. I'd like to get estimates from m...

 | LLL.com's: The Odd Price Curve
I like to think of the price for LLL.com’s as a very strange curve. Some sell for $100,000, while other’s sell for $5,000. They have very unsteady prices, which is why I compare it to a curve. While some sell at the $100,000 price, they are at the top of the curve, while others are

 | First things that came to my mind while starting my day
Here are some of my thoughts this morning while browsing around and starting off my new week domaining.
At Sedo.com

Fliq.com $10,000. "Fake Bid". Second thought. "Same as above if it’s real". Th...

 | Cybersquatting in the Past Hurts Today
Our industry still has a bad reputation from misdeeds that occurred years ago before trademark laws were actively enforced on domain owners. While there is still less obvious cybersquatting today than years ago, the industry continues to get a bad rap from people who aren’t familiar with it due to events that occurred years ago...

| Talking to a legend doesn't happen everyday
I had recently inquired about a domain name that I was interested in and I didn’t research the person’s name on the whois until "after" I sent out the email.
As with many email inquires you do not often get a reply. After I found out WHO I sent the email to, I really didn’t expect

 | The ChargerKits.com Auction - what Are Charger Kits?
Last week I posted an article regarding auction reserves, questioning if zero reserves are better than ROI reserves. I mentioned that I was currently testing the zero reserve idea with a premium domain name, ChargerKits.com.

Two days ago Sharon Churcher of The Daily Mail wrote about claims that attractive aide of Barack Obama was banned by his wife in 2004. The claims are apparently falsely being made in a bid to tarnish Obama’s clean reputation.
