As I continue reading the domaining news each day, I keep on seeing celebrities getting all of this publicity when they're fighting for their domain name. The most recent story I heard was Kate Hudson fighting for her name, reported here on Domain Name Wire.

Another round of emails are going out to domain name owners that appear to hold interest in buying your domain name but want you to order a domain appraisal. This is a scam.

This morning, I wrote a post about the launch of Valuate.com, an automated domain valuation website. Over the years, people have discussed the process of placing a value on domain names, and I tend to say (as well as others), "a domain name is worth what someone will pay for it."
