If you are serious about building a geo site then it’s critical to take notes from successful geo sites which have been developed by industry and not domainers.

Whats a holiday weekend without sex?
Well, sadly many people prefer tweeting to sex (or any physical contact with the real world) but those guys never really could get laid anyway. So today we bring both groups a little fun - from the wild and crazy hedonism.com to tweeters.com for the geeks.
Snapnames has quite a few [...]

I’ve been avoiding posting anything lately for many reasons (mostly since its unproductive to blog) but even with my absence I have still found great amusement in reading many stupid posts day after day about domain names.

Today we will see the biggest upgrade to date for the SnapNames platform and believe me when I say this is exactly what the domain doctors ordered.

This single addition will improve prices for domains, heat up competition and provide [...]

All eyes may be on Moniker and SnapNames but what about those NameJet auctions you joined?
Trumpet.com is at $29,458 with still over 24 hours left to go.
HomeLoans.net is worth only 18k - amazing. Sure, trumpet.com is a great name but its a brandable name, and in the less favorable singular version plus how many trumpets [...]

If any other finance domain with keywords like this sells for 18k in this economy or not you should all pack your freaking bags and go back to school!!

I have blogged more in the last week than in the last month and this will stop shortly because it is entirely unproductive except to rant and rave about a few things and sell a few names. Funny enough we rarely sell domains through auction platforms – sure, a few like anybody else every month [...]

When you list 3,000 names for sale many gems get passed for multiple reasons. From those buyers who believe only a name that is expired can be worth anything to those who simply view the first 20 and fail to go through the rest of the list.
Tomorrow is the first day of our GEO domain [...]
