Over at DomainNameWire, Andrew is optimistic about the state of domain economics. While I agree overall, I think that a fuller picture is needed in order to accurately define the state of the domain economy. As I mentioned, commenting at his post:
For those of us that are now in the business for several years, the
New research shows there is a great opportunity for domain owners to profit from a huge untapped pool of small business end users. Only 44% of the small businesses surveyed have websites. The rest are completely missing the 63% of consumers who check the web first when looking for local products & services.
ccTLD, for those do not know, most commonly stands for Country Code Top Level Domains. These domains are used to specify the region in which the domain is hosted or the region the site is about. Like a .in domain, in which ?.in? stands for India, should be a website about India, or hosted in
As my blog has continued to grow and progress over time I decided it was time to take the leap. By the leap I mean migrating my blog over to Wordpress - a long-time goal of mine that didn't quite make it into 2008. While Typepad has been great over the past year my blog
With 2009 in full swing and our goals set we are moving quickly to start on the multitude of projects for the year. This week with Obama entering office there have been a number of trends that have been getting hotter. One trend we have actively followed is Stimulus Checks and Economic Stimulus Checks. The

Not getting anywhere with domain name support ?? Why not enlist the help of your friends and associates on a social media platform and go after the company directly ?
Christian Van Der Herst recently had his email address at Gmail.com compromised by a hacker. Having access to the email address that also controlled his domain
Sprite.me and Firefox.me go back to their rightful owners.
When .me launched to the general public last year, it was clear that a lot of people hadn't heard of cybersquatting. Domain names like Porsche.me, Toyota.me, and Firefox.me were snapped up (and not my their familiar namesakes). Many of these domains were picked up at
When you put the current situation in perspective, the domain name industry is buzzing along nicely.
Let's face it, 2008 wasn't the best year in the domain industry. It certainly wasn't as good as 2007 on a whole. Nor 2006.
But what about compared to 2004?
The reason we're down in the dumps about domaining is
I am fully convinced that the majority of people will start their domain name purchase looking to see if the domain name they are interested in is "Available" in the TLD they are looking for, which is normally .com . I explain the term Available as going to a domain name registrar and doing a
I am sorry to those who tried to visit DotWeekly.com this morning. We had a small server issue which made the site load really slow, if at all.
I welcome the new readers from the recent DomainInformer.com "What can I do with a domain name" posting this morning. Domain Informer asked to republish it and I
I am sort of taking the day off today to get a few things done, but here are a number of names that I am selling at very good prices to clear them out of my inventory. I don't think I will get to develop them, so I might as well sell them.

My friend Richard Douglas posted part one of his geo domain development series today. Although Richard is being a bit secretive about the domain/website at the outset of the series, he will be revealing it later on down the road. I've been chatting with Richard about this project for the last several months, and

Fly.com made it to the list of most expensive domains ever sold years ago, but the price was recently updated due to a recent re-selling of the domain name. It was sold for about $1.8 million in January 2009… only $300,000 more than the previous owner paid for it (Fly.com Appreciates 20% in 10 Years).

Many people have asked me for a zone file for Indian domains - a list of all .in, .co.in, .net.in, etc. domains that are registered.
Now, INForum is proud to offer a zone file.? It is absolutely FREE to all members and provides a strong competitive advantage in doing research about Indian domains.? If you are
There was an interesting thread at DNforum some time back where people listed their favourite domain related quotes and I took a note of my favourites. I?ve done this for years and have thousands of quotes collected on a variety of topics, anyway you?ll be pleased to hear I?m not going to witter on in this post but leave it to others to do the tal...
Troy recently commented on one of my posts: "Great post. Mini sites sure are hot right now. I wonder how they will adapt with future changes in search engines though? It seems to me that the search engines are not going to want these little 5-10 pages sites, built solely for AdSense, to be a
Is a crappy .com or a great ccTLD better? Could a ccTLD be better than an equivelent .com? These are the questions you need to be able to answer before investing in ccTLDs.
The first thing I look for is relevancy towards the market. As discussed before, UsedBoats.co.uk is relevent to the UK market because British
Morning Folks!!All you can do as a writer or a blogger is to share your story. Share your view. Share the way you did it. Share the way you see it. There are so many ways to climb this mountain. There are many right ways. There are many wrong ways. Many profitable ways. Many unprofitable ways. Probably the best way has yet to be discovered. Sometim...

I warned last year that state governments desperately looking for new sources of revenue would look to place taxes on downloads including songs and videos from itunes.
Today the Governor of New York David Patterson, announced he is proposing a tax on all on Internet downloads.

Everyone has read the headlines of domain names selling for millions of dollars, and of course every domainer dreams of doing the same someday. Some already have become millionaires through selling names, parking names and developing names. The rest of us dream of having the freedom we desire to be independent. There are alot of things you have to ...
In the summer of 2008, we got our hands on a city.com domain with great potential.
The city is waterfront, has a high median income, high real estate values, six figure population (aka visitors) and about 10,000 businesses (aka advertisers).
The previous owner of the domain had problems with building sticky content for visitors, making money from...
Moving forward in time, an investor forms his decisions within the context of history while also speculating on potential future developments. Domainers are pretty eclectic in their tastes & strategies. Same is true for investors in other markets too. Opportunities always vary. And there are many paths to the journey's end.

Maybe you prefer the term Maverick, or perhaps entrepreneur. Domainers seem to be the new global internet entrepreneurs.
I think about the many domainer profiles written over the years by Ron Jackson of DN Journal. People from all walks of life, and from all over the globe, who shared a similar dream.
