From Will Oremus - Slate: We’re not just talking about four-letter names that spell actual words, like cars.com or pets.com (R.I.P). We’re not even just talking about pronounceable four-letter combinations, like eBay, Yelp, Etsy, and Hulu. We’re talking every...
You probably noticed that GoDaddy is promoting new gTLDs pretty aggressively and you probably also noticed that in the past, they've shown somewhat of an affinity towards alternative TLDs.
A good example would be the two superbowl ads everyone saw not so long after dot co went live: one was the GoDaddy ad we were all

I signed up for the Protrada newsletter a while back, and I received the first email newsletter this evening inviting me to a "Domain Investor Workshop with Adam Dicker."

In March, 2011, I received an email from Amazon telling me that I could no longer participate in their affiliate program. While I'm not a hot shot affiliate marketer by any means, it was disappointing to see that state lawmakers were negatively impacting online commerce in the state of Illinois. I have since sold the […]
I've seen it happen over and over and over again. Ten people bid on an expired domain and then two people battle it out bringing the price over-and-above what any end-user would realistically pay for the name. It's a weird phenomenon but it happens outside of the domain world as well, it's an auction mentality […]

When it comes down to domain name investing and the upcoming expansion of the Internet name space, the so-called Main Street behaves like a carriage horse. It passively likes to be led, commanded, directed. It takes no initiative, thanks to the decision blinders that have been kept on it for years. Whose fault is it […]

I don't list many domain names for sale on domain forums, but I think they can be good venues to sell domain names that are priced well. I've bought and sold on DNForum, NamePros, and Domain Boardroom, so I know first hand that all of the forums have active buyers and sellers. Sellers may outnumber buyers, but there are many buyers looking for deal...
A great new creative ad about NamesCon, promoting the premier Internet names conference. If you've been hiding under the proverbial rock, NamesCon takes place in Las Vegas, between January 13-15, 2014. Bigger. Better. Cooler.
Here's why I'm going to NamesCon next month. The first ever NamesCon domain name conference takes place January 13-15 in Las Vegas. Here's why I'm going to the conference: 1. I was already planning on going to a conference in January. DomainSponsor usually holds its Webfest conference at the end of January or early February. […]...

It seems like it's been an age since we last heard the intellectual property lobby pushing for stronger rights protection mechanisms in new gTLDs, but they're back just in time for the first launches. The Intellectual Property Owners Association has written to ICANN this week to warn about loopholes in the standard new gTLD Registry […]

The list is a little late today, but I have a good excuse. I requested to have Christmas Day here off at work. As much as I like the holiday
Up until yesterday afternoon, I did not realize that Igloo.com developed domain name assets on behalf of its clients. I was under the assumption that the company solely acted in a domain brokerage and consulting capacity. I just learned that Igloo.com launched a travel website on Turkey.com, on behalf of a client whose identity is private. Visitors...

Dun & Bradstreet among end user buyers last week at Sedo/Afternic. I'm posting a lot of end user sales reports this week thanks to the Thanksgiving holiday last week.

Many of the new gTLD registries are planning on the old .TV pricing model to sell their premium domain names.
Two large applicants Donuts and Minds +Machines who between the two applied for 400 new gTLD strings, have both stated they indent to use the .TV pricing model which sells premium domains instead one for a one time payment in the four, fiv...
So far, most new TLD registries are pricing their domains at a big premium to .com. Will that limit registration numbers? We're starting to get a better idea of how new top level domain name registries are going to price domain names. It appears many are taking the .TV approach, essentially pricing out any value […]

Found a lot of names I like at Godaddy today. A change from the last few weeks. I also have added 50 or so names to my portfolio this past two months. I've been reinvesting my profits back into what I think are value names. Names under $500 each in which I think I can get 10 times my money. We'll find out if it was a good move down the road. ...

One of the biggest differences between domainers (or I'd say investors in general) who do well and domainers who don't is the fact that those who do well are willing to change their opinion when they come across facts which prove that they were wrong.
