Whether it’s the Search Marketing Expos, the Affiliate Summit or something else most domainers still only attend domaining conferences which barely breathe any life into domain name development.

Let’s do another article while I am stuck waiting to speak with a client overseas. I have always insisted that any domainer serious about development quit reading domaining blogs and spend more time reading SEO blogs so why not give you some homework.
