Long winded replies – I could probably also say don’t be a comment whore but that would apply to many more of us lol

You are right – I was referring to those who just comment more and recycle news day after day … and again, not specific to anyone and certainly not unique just to domain blogs …

Elliot’s blog to me is a combination of news but also a learning blog for many newbies since he is one of the few who posts about his progress, techniques and more – one of the better blogs around for young and old.

Andrew Allemann – since we had a little back and forth on the minsites issue – must give the guy credit. His domainnamewire is not a blog IMO – its a news source, much like DNJournal – and he does a great job. In fact, he is one of the handful of worthy news publishers versus bloggers in the industry.

So, Andrew if you’re listening – we may disagree on a few things but you have a lot of credit in my book

Again, the post was food for thought for those who spend more time commenting and recycling news than actually creating it.

Thanks for the post.

Elliot writes posts at Elliotsblog.com because his knowledge helps his readers and brings him consulting clients. I do the same, but Elliot is much cuter than I am so he has more readers. I have very few ads on my blog, most are CPA links and they are products I’ve reviewed and tested myself. I would post more often, but I am too busy, and sometimes too vitriolic about my subject matter so I have to take down my “pugna pro justicia” banner and pass up the article just so I don’t step on toes at inopportune times. ahem.

Andrew Allemann (Dub-A) at domainnamewire.com is probably the most prolific blogger of us all, and I would hardly say he’s “doing nothing” in this industry. To the contrary, his posts are maybe the most read by domainers from noobies to pros, and provide incredible information for the domain industry.

You mentioned Berkens “TheDomains.com”, and he writes great timely articles when it’s right to do… he’s got his game down.

I think what really is a test of who has too much time on their hands could be the domainers spending all their time “commenting” on many many blogs, attacking people right and left, along with their ideas, and being a negative flit that really have no clients, and nothing else to do, but hoping for some attention.

I could be accused of this, except I write fairly long responses to my posts because I’m longwinded, but type over 100 wpm and have a pretty good stream of thought spewing out. Rarely does it take me more than 10 minutes to write a boring response like this one. I’m the same way in my emails. I like people to be clear in what I’m saying, so I detail it out pretty intensely. Ask Eric Rice how he deals with my emails to him that have more than two paragraphs… it’s not pretty. LOL

Nice article, by the way…

Isn’t everyone on the net an attention whore?

Instead I coded it from scratch and it takes me A WHILE to actually write and then publish something. This is a hardcored way to keep myself in check and to think twice before posting anything

Weird huh? LOL.

“my close friends don’t really want to hear me talking about my business”

I think every domainer can say that is true LOL

You are right though. Even though my banner ads are much more than $20/month, I would still probably make more at McD or something like that if my blog was my main revenue stream. Fortunately, the domain investing and domain development stuff make up for the blogging shortfall, so blogging is more of a hobby.

Good post
