Nobody wants to be a sucker. With auctions, the results of accurate pricing is a bidding war. Bidding war allows spectators to get in the game, assuring them that value exists in the marketplace, not just with one party, but with many. Marketing to spectators is different than marke...
The transfer of Toys.com to Toys R Us looks to have been completed over the weekend. That $5.1 million sale is the biggest of 2009 to date. Sedo will also add a blockbuster to our next Top 20 chart after completing the sale of Top.com for more than $450,000.
Dot Eco LLC has proposed a new TLD, the extension .eco. They say that they are planning on applying for approval from ICANN later this year. In 2006, the movie, ?An Inconvenient Truth,? was made and released by our former United States Vice President, Al Gore. The movie spread a worldwide awareness of the effects
Welcome to my new Sunday tradition - a VLog or video blog entry about what I think is a hot issue right now in the Domaining community. It is very important for Domainers to understand how their search engine rankings will change with Google's new search algorithm so I made this the topic of my
Rick Latona is launching a new domain forum focussed on ccTLDs today, further solidifying his commitment to the ccTLD space. As whois history reveals, the domain name used for the forum was previously owned by Frank Schilling's NAMedia, a company known to barely ever sell domain names. The forum is sorted by ccTLDs so everybody

Happy birthday, Domain Name Wire
Domain Name Wire launched four years ago today. Looking back, it's certainly a time capsule of the domain name industry. Articles in that first month included:
"Moniker Unveils Paid Parking Program" - Moniker's now closed TrafficClub program got its start
"Yahoo to challenge Google Adsense" - we all know how that...
California would extend sales tax collection to many online merchants.
As state governments get strapped for cash, expect them to extend the reach of existing taxes.
NYAffiliateVoice reports about a new proposed law in California that is similar to a New York tax law. New York's law requires online merchants such as Amazon.com to collect New...
If you've tried three or more domain parking services, enter the Parking Judge contest.
It's been over a month since I launched Parking Judge, a web site that lets you review domain name parking services. I'm a bit surprised that fewer people have submitted reviews on the site than Registrar Judge had a at the
I predict three major changes at domain auction house Bido.
A week ago I wrote about the lack of high quality domain names for sale at Bido. Others agreed, and Bido co-founder Sahar Sarid chimed in. While Sarid was somewhat coy about planned changes at Bido, he dropped several hints. After reading his
Rick Latona launches ccTLD forum.
Domain name investor Rick Latona has launched a forum dedicated solely to the discussion of country code top level domain names. Fittingly, he bought a premier domain name for the forum: ccTLDs.com.
The forum includes separate sections for each of the major, non-commercialized top level domains (no .tv or .me here...
Austin offers low taxes and a great technology workforce.
Times are tough. It amazes me that so many companies make it harder on themselves by operating in oppressive business climates.
Don't get me wrong. I fully understand the value of running a business in California. There's no comparison to the energy and talent in
DomainReport.ca - This story broke over the weekend and is making the rounds in domaining circles. It's a good example of the type of registration that can bring more trouble than it's worth. The person who bought this name was probably thinking that the domain gets visitors, and has now put up a page to make income off these visitors. But the v...
I have just launched a new public domain marketplace on Twitter.? Since many of us in the domain industry have taken a liking to Twitter and are spending a good amount of time there, what better place to advertise your domain names for sale?
@DNMarket will soon feature daily domain sales listings, or classifieds if you
The creators of the Snuggie ™ and the Snugglette ™ (snuggie for kids) have now launched Designer Snuggie ™! The original Snuggie has been a huge hit! Snugglette, Snuggie for kids was the second product offered and is growing in demand.
Now the creators of the Snuggie are offering, Designer Snuggie ™ which comes i...
Any offer/counter offer on a domain name or really anything that does not have a "set" value is tricky. It can also get harder using a 3rd party service like Sedo.com or Afternic.com, as communication can be a bit harder.
You really have 4 options to consider when you get an offer on a domain name.
Advertising industry publication Advertising Age weighed in on the impact of the proposed gTLDs today. Although I would have thought an article about the creative possibilities of new gTLDs would have been more appropriate for Ad Age to cover, they focused on the costs associated with gTLDs - both in terms of applying for a

Let's face it.? As domain investors, we are a part of a small community, where nearly all of us are connected in some way. Some companies have partnerships, many people are close friends with others, and some people have known others via forums, chat board and industry functions for years.
No matter what someone writes nor

I was watching the World Baseball Classic yesterday and saw the Dominican Republic vs. Panama game in Puerto Rico.? Behind home plate, there was a url being advertised: GoPuertoRico.com.? Personally, I am not a huge fan of most call to action domain names, but I really don't like this one, because the keyword phrase "Go

WARNING: CHECK YOUR E-MAILS TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY. Apparently this is a "limited" promotion. Maybe the link will still work, but it says it's account linked. I was about to delete this e-mail, but I can sell domains I plan on letting expire!
Lately there has been a lot of outside information that I just
Someone sure screwed up this URL display. Of course, the correct URL is StBaldricks.org. Now, we've seen erroneous apostrophe's in URLs before never a false subdomain. Looks like someone snapped up Baldricks.org to capitalize here. That was quite the bald, er... bold move.
Here's another maddening Bad URL display from NBC5 Chicago. This one replaces the @ sign with the peacock. Yes, that's the same peacock that's also stands for NBC on house ads for NBC.com. I really prefer when they go with more obvious symbols like the human dot. I mean, what's next... will the peacock be the com? Will we start seeing URLs with onl...
This Bad URL was sent in by Jeff Campbell proving once again that it takes one to know one. Truth is they didn't have much to work with here in terms of URL display after picking this domain name. Can't say PentyOfFish.com looks any better. That double-F is just funky. Perhaps using alternating fonts or colors might have done the trick. As is, thou...
Joel Ohman contacted me regarding his new domaining tools website, Domain Superstar and I thought it might be worth checking out the tools he is providing to domainers. I should say up front that I am not getting paid to make this post nor did I sign up for the affiliate program. Domain Superstar is
Morning Folks!!If you repeat something that is non factual long enough does it become Fact? I have read in countless places something that just is not accurate and I hope you will indulge me while I tell you the story as it has been repeated for many years and it is time to share the story. Over the years there has been much discussion about a quot...
Today Warren Buffett came out with his take on the economy:
""The U.S. economy had fallen off a cliff",? but he went on to say it will "eventually recover, although a rebound could kindle inflation worse than that experienced in the late 1970s.""
""The economy was mere hours away from collapse last September when credit markets seized...
Two actions taken last week, in two separate jurisdictions, show that governments around the US are still intent on individually regulating the Internet.
According to Media Post, on Friday, the Utah House of Representatives, narrowly passed H.B. 450, which would bar companies from using rivals' trademarks to trigger ads on search engines, directori...
"We have created a system for growth that depended on our building more and more stores to sell more and more stuff made in more and more factories in China, powered by more and more coal that would cause more and more climate change but earn China more and more dollars to buy more and more U.S. T-bills so America would have more and more money to ...
