Red Bull spends big bucks disputing domains, then let's them go.
Is it possible that Red Bull's lawyers are too caffeinated when they file domain name disputes through UDRP?
More than perhaps any other company, Red Bull finds itself winning domains at UDRP that are "canceled" instead of "transferred". This means that the current registration is...
Company settles trademark dispute.
Frank Schilling's company Name Administration has reached a settlement with the holder of a trademark for Cheat Code, according to documents at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Late last year CheatCodes.com LLC started going after people who had "cheat code" in their domain names, thanks to somehow slipping t...
There is a new phishing email doing the rounds, masquerading as a Godaddy email. I received it this morning and have since notified Godaddy. There are a few things that are interesting about this email: 1.It uses the actual Godaddy graphics on the Godaddy web server, so it looks real. 2. In the body of

Since several auction sites charge a WHOPPING 20% for sales commissions, a lot of domainers wonder what these sites do for them to "earn" that compensation. That's a big question ALL domainers should ask thems...

At ICANN today the hot discussion centered around registrars, and the roll law enforcement wants to place on them to curb illegal activity on the net. The bottom line is that if law enforcement gets their way, registrars are going to have a lot more obligations and therefore a lot more costs and guess whose
Big name celebrities rally around call-to-action domain to support gay rights.
Because it's easier to remember and type-in to the web after seeing the commercial on TV than Hydroxatone.com (not to be confused with Hydroxycut.com)
It seems there is an "Epik" battle brewing in the domain parking-alternative space. Mike Cohen, a man who is a total invisible mystery to most people, never appearing at or sponsoring a domain event, with no credible PR or case studies-- a man who has refused my own litmus test to do a proof of concept on one of my own domains and to appear on Doma...
Newsletters
Some people feel they have to keep up with a periodical newsletter in order
to collect emails and names from visitors. Not true but having access to a
database of users in case you ever do want to send out a newsletter is valuable.
Newsletters do not have to be monthly but can be quarterly or even at random.
There are ways to set up...
As Joel recently blogged, we've been hard at work updating our dashboard and revamping the back-end of our tools.

I've been using a few of my email accounts since the mid-nineties and am used to getting spam and phishing notices, but this one was good and almost fooled ?me. ? ?The notice looked real, but was for

Are you ready for Monday's Morning Read?? This morning's read isn't actually an article and wasn't an item that I read this morning.? Confused?? Don't be, just know that this book showed up randomly to my door step.? I have to commend Tony Hsieh, for knowing that I wanted a copy of his book.

So as not to mislead readers to our own successes and failures, 2010 has been a slow year for sales compared to 2009. Though it's been frustrating,it hasn't discouraged us at all.
In 2009, we grossed just over $13,000. To date in 2010, we've grossed $0 in domain sales.
Although we've received offers, we're focused on our first big domain sale in ...
