Many think all good names are gone and sometimes it sure seems hard to find a decent available name - especially in.com but … every now and then…
We just registered EcoFriendlyLogos.com
Since one of our projects in the very near future list includes matter directly related to this I must say it was a welcome surpise to […]

Yesterday I wrote about how so many domains with ZERO keyword value have tons of bidders at NameJet when domains with LOTS of keyword value still remain on SnapNames with minimal or no bidders.
One comment was “You can be honest and tell people you are promoting your own domains or just keep doing what you […]

Quite a few people have emailed and said thanks for publicly stating my opinion on the quality of the FixedLoans.com domain so for domainers of all experience I urge you to compare this list of names in auction at SnapNames compared to the silly ones that have 60 bidders at NameJet. Granted, every auction house has […]

Although many of us here are taking a hiatus for the month of August and enjoying life the way its supposed to be (or how Europeans do it) today I feel like sharing some information as the values of some NameJet sales continually surprise me.
The fact is most people buying on NameJet are domainers and […]

Like most domainers, I get a rush when bidding at auctions however are drops always worth more?
I tend to think many great deals get scooped up by the few smart domainers who understand what a good domain is and how to look beyond simply what is hot for today. Whether or not a domain has […]

A great website was just launched by Randy Charach - visit synergydomainclub.com.
Great place to see faces, interact, blog and more. Well done.

About a year ago I looked up the first domain we ever sold. Strangely enough there were ads on the site … who would have thunk ….
What I found interesting was this name (which was hand registered by me in 1998 and sold in 2000) had a WHOIS record showing the domain was created in 2002.
Funny, I sold […]

At some point every business owner (not just domainers) look to sell or “exit” the business. In this industry it seems many people are building and building portfolios so someday they will “exit” by selling the entire portfolio to a buyer.
Is this really a valid exit strategy?
It certainly sounds great but it’s also the elusive dream […]

Acronyms. I love them and hate them but when it comes to finding a website it sure would be nice for owners to spend the extra 6 bucks and register the domain in its full format.
Go ahead and brand the funky little acronym, spend thousands on television ads, cute letterhead and glossy business cards but […]
