Not a paid post, no affiliate links, nothing. I just received an interesting e-mail from Afternic and figured someone might have the spare time to absorb some information and probably help them.

After the mess caused by AOL's claim to Ad.com a domain they do not own and the lawsuits that followed, I was surprised to see an article out today on MediaPost.com entitled:

Let me first say that I am a .com advocate, enthusiast, and supporter of .com domains. Dotcom is an awesome brand unto itself.
Since the first release of non-com alternative domain name extensions (around 2002),? a contingent of .commers began disseminating false information?regarding the newer, alternative domain extensions (.biz, .us, .info). I k...
Well, I have had the pleasure of spending the afternoon and evening with Morgan Linton, after some great sushi and drinks and figuring out how to solve the problems of the world we have settled back in his office/TV studio, kicked back listening to Radiohead and I thought I would let you know 5 crazy things you did not know about Morgan Linton:

Not a lot of time before the next session but thought I would throw out a few notes and thoughts after the first two sessions, Morgan Linton and I have had a great morning and some very interesting conversations with several companies but Clickbank.com and InsuranceLeads.com really stick out at this point.

Bruce Marler is sitting in my home office with me right now – and yes – all hell has broken loose! After dinner and drinks we've come-up with the idea of asking each other five ridiculous questions and sharing them with all of you. So if you ever wanted to know some fun facts about
Hello from a convention that is NOT in the Domaining industry but is so interlinked I'm still baffled Bruce Marler and I are the only Domainers here!!

Bruce and I had a blast at the Affiliate Convention today! Always great to be around other inspired and like-minded people. So much convergence between Domaining and Affiliate Marketing now that it feels like we're amongst friends!

I have a fairly basic thought process when it comes to domain names. It works like this: How many strikes does the name have against it? The guidelines below are what I use to determine the quality of a domain name.

I, like many other people, like to get second opinions on my possible domain purchases and use Valuate and Estibot?.

Ron Jackson does a tremendous job over at DNJournal of compilling all of the major (publicly known) domain sales each month.

Personal favourite was FridayNight.com for $4,000 sold...
