Don't let anyone tells you differently, times are challenging, the strong will survive, and many shall perish. To give you an idea what one to do these days to create a better future, the scope of urgency, action, here are few things I'm working on these days:
1. New bido release, multiple auctions & more
First and formost on my list, we've be...
Country code fans have three more reasons to party down this week. ccTLDs, including the biggest country code sale of the year at $266,000, swept the first three positions on DN Journal's new all-extension Top 20 sales chart. All three ccTLDs smashed the six-figure barrier as did the 4th ranked .com domain.
No video this week, sorry guys. Instead I'm giving you the news via podcast.

Although the main focus was directly on Yahoo! and the sale of their domain Contests.com which they submitted and sold this week for $380,000 in the DRT2009 live domain name auction, I think Aftermarket.com and the business partnership with DomainConsultant.com need a big pat on the back as well!
The news broke After the live auction
I wanted to provide a little review of Bido.com as I had just used them selling 9U.net recently. I will take you from start to finish and I think you will be impressed!
Bido.com is a 1 a day, domain name auction service that offers a couple different "pricing" options for selling. It is free to
How much priority do you give domain names when writing your business plan?
You have brainstormed the niches, short listed your findings, and now have selected what kind of ebusiness you want to invest in.
You have given careful though about the look and feel of the website, have some ideas for your branding approach and have
On occasion, I will get a phone call from someone who wants to buy a domain name I own. While I do think making a phone call is far better for domain buyers to get in touch with a domain owner, I would recommend that domain owners work out their deals online in emails rather

Hello everyone,

We are also delighted to announce our partnership with BuyDomains and Dotcom Agency, two of the industry's
Sometimes you don't really get to know someone until you've done battle with them. In the case of Rick and Howard, my perception of them has changed forever.
For instance, Rick Schwartz talks often on his blog and on message boards about how he doesn't want to work. He goes on and on about it so
Morning Folks!! We are getting to the “Fun part??? of the recession. The fun part is when folks just finally give up. They capitulate. It’s a given. Human nature wires folks to give up. Few persevere and see things through. I learned early on in life that looking back I would give up just before success was at hand. That’s what most people do. It’s...

What is an asset worth if no-one wants to buy? That's the title of a post I read on Reuter's DealZone blog today. I don't want to comment on that specific article here, but the title triggered an interesting question about a phenomenon one can observe in the domain industry every day:

The more web development I do, the more I'm grateful for the plethora of amazing Javascript libraries out there. It's never been simpler to add advanced front-end functionality like drag-and-drop, animations, or sortable, paginated, searchable tables (like those used in our Type-In Traffic Finder, for instance). Here's a few of my favorite javascr...
I've always used Escrow.com for domain transactions involving escrow service and they always do a good job for me, so I never had much of a reason to try anyone else. One thing that's always bothered me about Escrow.com is that they don't accept Paypal for domain escrow transactions unless both the buyer and seller are in the USA. Why? I don't know...
With the introduction of Facebook user names last week it seems that more and more Domainers are embracing the Facebook community.
