When selling a domain asset for thousands of dollars, a lot are at stake: time is of the essence, and the overall impression you make as a seller, can be very important to the buyer. As […]
Several domain owners got very nice early Christmas presents this past week when they sold names that soared into the six-figure stratosphere. The largest of those was a blockbuster that ranks among the year's 5 biggest sales. We also saw one of 2013's 10 biggest ccTLD sales.
Techcrunch.com just covered Raise.com, a domain name that I sold at a live Moniker.com/TRAFFIC auction many years ago for $25,000.
The company has gone from the $25K purchase to raising over $18 Million in VC money.
""Raise.com is one of the fastest-growing startups in the Chicago region. While we were able to reach founder George Bousis today to c...

When Gmail introduced the availability of tabbed categories for incoming email, the action was meant to be practical: notifications from social media would end up in the "Social" tab. Other types of promotional material would end up in the "Promotions" tab, keeping your Inbox clean and tidy. It seems that many Gmail users fail to […]...

This goes for domainers as well as pretty much all investors.
I noticed something interesting and would like to invite all of you to try it as opposed to simply taking my word for it: find a random stock trading forum, a forum about precious metals or about pretty much anything you can invest in.
You'll notice
Domainber continues! It's like we're unwrapping a new set of presents each week, because more and more New TLDs are hitting the streets. None of the New TLDs that have launched have reached General Availability yet, but you can place … Continue reading →

Despite no response from domain name owner, panelist considers all of the facts. I often call out UDRP panelists who "phone in" their decisions without considering the other site of the story. So today I'm happy to write about a case brought by pharmaceutical company Sanofi against the owner of Sinofn.com. Panelist Susanna H.S. Leong […]...
A large meteorite, weighing 800lbs or more, exploded on the ground in Scottsdale, Arizona, yesterday – very close to the GoDaddy headquarters. Dozens of GoDaddy employees left their cubicles, in an apparent attempt to capture photos of the incident, or as an excuse to have a smoke break. Chaos ensued. "We were never in danger, […]
I want to pass along some NamesCon news to you this morning. Braden Pollock will be the moderator for several NamesCon panels next month in Las Vegas.

I feel like I've been having this conversation just about every week now so I thought it would be a good time to share my thoughts. Go back in time five years and I'd tell you that having a Twitter and Facebook handle that exactly matches your brand name didn't matter. Now I'm seeing a […]
Today is my Friday and I am looking forward to enjoying the weekend. It's been an interesting week here at work, one which really has me thinking about the start-up
The Trademark Clearinghouse is to give the intellectual property lobby something that it's been crying out for for years — an indefinite extension of parts of the Trademark Claims service. And it's going to be free. Trademark Claims is a mandatory service for all new gTLD operators, sending pre-registration warnings to registrants and post-re...
This year I've spent some of my spare time developing two new sites and relaunching another. Each one has been a labour of love but at the same time they're beginning to payoff already.

pokercompany.co.uk - Poker website.
Each of the sites has:...
Donuts' pricey Early Access Program for its new gTLDs could prove quite lucrative for registrars. Go Daddy today revealed that it's charging $12,500 and up for first-day "priority" registrations in 14 Donuts gTLDs, a $2,500 profit on Donuts' EAP registry fee, which I believe is $10,000. The EAP is Donuts alternative to a traditional landrush [̷...

Regiodot is already taking pre-registrations via approximately 10 signed-up registrars, which all appear...
If you found anything decent at Godaddy today, you're a better man than me. The last few days have been abysmal over at GD auctions. Looks like nobody lets their domain expire during the holiday. Namejet on the other hand has been loaded. I imagine there are few portfolios coming through from the looks of all the decent domains. Here are today's ...
SUY.net – Nice pronounceable with no horrible letters. This one is a public auction and the reserve isn't met yet, but it is still cheap.

It's no secret that there is a lot of money in the insurance world. Insurance has long been one of the hottest markets online and one that certainly has been ripe for disruption. I'm pretty sure most people would agree that if they see another annoying Progressive commercial they'll go insane. Now Austin-based TheZebra.com is […]...
GoDaddy issues its pricing for jumping the line for Donuts' domain names. Last month I wrote about how Donuts was eschewing a traditional "landrush" period for its domain names in favor of a so-called "Early Access Program".

Christmas came early for us today when we learned that Domain Hall of Famer David Castello will be bringing bree (the rapidly rising Nashville-based rock trio he manages and plays drums for) to our town (Tampa, Florida) for the first time when the band starts a USA tour next spring.

Mind and Machines duped you all. They got exactly what they wanted with every blogger calling them out. I wouldn't really even know who Mind and Machines is if it wasn't for all these "they are wrong" posts. Sometimes we bloggers are like putty in the hands of people that want attention. I was always told that if your kid eats squirrel poop to ...
As a domainer or let's say as an investor in general, if negative opinions make you feel angry… you're doing it wrong.
Through this post, I'll try to explain why.
I decided to write it because I've noticed that new gTLDs are starting to generate strong emotions on both sides of the fence.
On the one hand, lots
Last month panelist Eduardo Machado ordered the transfer of Ovation.com in one of the most poorly reasoned UDRP decisions ever issued.

Sensationalism in the media isn't something new; it has existed since the time someone printed a newspaper and sent out hordes of barefoot, underpaid kids to distribute copies of it. Headlines that are controversial catch our attention – that's the nature of the human brain; we are attracted to things that are different, that stand […]...

Minds+Machines, one of the biggest investors in the gTLD namespace, is upping its ante with an aggressive marketing promotion geared towards domain investors, and indecisive end-user buyers alike.
