Last month we told you about a major domain hijacking incident in which more than a dozen names were stolen from industry pioneer Warren Weitzman's account at eNom. The stolen domains are back where they belong now and both Weitzman and eNom tell us how the thief (at least temporarily) made off with the names.
I have teamed up with WhyPark.com to give away either an Amazon Kindle or Acer Aspire Netbook, winner's choice. This contest is open to both new and existing WhyPark customers.

One more example of the .com truism.
From Florida this weekend comes another example of why you should never, ever, ever* use anything but .com for an important web site, such as your main business web site.
A Florida High School, Pace High School, operates the web site PaceHighSchool.net. But someone else owns PaceHighSchool.com, and it
Company's portfolio still profitable, but challenges abound.
Dark Blue Sea has reported its annual results for the period ending June, and it isn't pretty.
The company reported profits plunged 74.38% to only $695,955 AUD for the year. This is well below the company's guidance just a couple months ago. In the prior year the company...
ICANN posts job listing for VP of Government Affairs.
When then-ICANN CEO Paul Twomey got grilled by Congress in June, I wondered how ICANN didn't think to do a bit of lobbying before the hearing. ICANN spends a little money on lobbying, but not much. Now that it's clear the organization can't just run
A busy month for domain news.
August is usually a slow news month. But not this year, at least in the domain business. Domain Name Wire once again topped 100k page views on site (and at least as much through RSS). Here are the top five stories according to page views, as well
Live Current sells Call.com domain name for seven figures.
Live Current Media has sold the domain name Call.com for $1.1 million through domain brokerage Sedo.

It can be considered something so simple, but what it really is, effective marketing. One of the simple but extremely POWERFUL uses of a make sense domain name. Simply using a "make sense" domain name and forwarding it (301 redirection) to a more confusing domain for your site.
Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is a
I wanted to do a little something different and dissect a post that I did this weekend. As I write this, I have no clear reason to writing it other then discovery, but I have seen several things that interest me. With writing, sometimes it answers my question, sometimes I get the help of my
Crestor®, the makers of a cholesterol lowering medication has rolled out a new ad on TV using the domain name ArteryTour.com to help explain the benefits of it's cholesterol meds while using a make sense domain to match it's main message in the ad.
When visiting ArteryTour.com, it may seem like a simple forward (301 redirection)...
Although I believe a great domain name can help catapult a company's website over others in search engine rankings, I believe the content on the site is as important when a person develops it. Owning Lowell.com and having the Lowell Spinners section at Lowell.com/lowell-spinners.php probably helps my website's rankings (although the second "lowell"...
I personally don't own many domain names that end in Blog.com or News.com, but I think they have considerable value. Just about every industry, hobby, sport, country, city….etc has a blogger or news source that covers the segment. Many people perform searches for "topic blog," as well as "topic news" to get great information.

I've seen similar names selling for four figures recently, so I thought I would list two similar geographic insurance domain names for sale. The asking price is $625/each, but I will sell the pair for $925. The two domain names I am selling are:

WestPalmBeachHealthInsurance.com
Both domain names are at Moniker, and this sale...

The pain for t...

The second live domain auctioneers auction took place last night with no reserves, and all online live bidding. The auctions are conducted by a live auctioneer over an audio feed on ProxyBid.com.

As a Domain Broker I spend a lot of my time contacting end-users about domain names. Since our industry is relatively unknown I also spend a great deal of time explaining to people what Domaining is, and where they can reference domain prices. At the end of the day, end-users are essential to the success
