The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com and after 7 years of tracking the domain aftermarket we saw something we've never seen before - non .com domains took more places on our weekly all extension Top 20 Chart than .coms for the 2nd week in a row. 2 ccTLD sales totaling $750,000 led the non .com charge.
Some of you may have already heard this, but Victor Pitts is no longer the host of Domain Masters Radio. Victor Pitts has done a phenomenal job the last few years hosting over 100 episodes. More on this tonight.

The Globe and Mail now reports that the site was actually taken down because of a breach privacy that allowed players to see other player's financial information and even use their
Trademark fight over new TLDs continues to brew. I've written numerous times about new TLD applicants filing trademark applications for TLDs in an attempt to get a leg up on getting approval for their TLD application and fighting off competitors. In general, you can't trademark a top level domain in the U.S. But other countries
Group says new TLDs aren't meant for single brands that don't offer second level domains to the public. One of the understood use cases for new top level domain names is a company creating .brand. Canon has already expressed its intentions to apply for .canon. But in comments by Japan Network Information Center, which provides

Conference makes its return in a very nice location. After taking a year off, Thought Convergence's Domain Roundtable is making a return in 2011 in a big way: a trip to the Bahamas.

Over the past 24 hours I've personally received emails and private messages from people asking about .co. It seems everyone is asking one of two questions: Question 1 – Am I buying .co ? Question 2 – Should they buy .co ? Instead of replying to everyone individually, I thought I'd post this. Answer 1

The opening up of the .co domain extension yesterday has prompted many blog postings and comments, and posts in domain forums. From what I've seen, quite a few people have regged one or a handful of .co's that are good quality keywords to them, or words that have special meanings to them (first name, existing business, familiar lo...
SnapNames.com held another Showcase domain name auction which ended yesterday (7/20/2010) and the theme this time around was "Shopping and eCommerce". These type of domain names are normally some properties!

I was just alerted about another "appraisal" type domain name scam going around and this time the domain name being used is TheNamePros.com .

I've covered the .CO launch pretty extensively, but I continue to field emails and some phone calls asking for advice, so I want to share a little bit of additional insight from a personal standpoint to answer any lingering questions.
As you're aware, I was awarded a .CO domain name, which I hope to reveal this

One of the neat things about owning domain names with websites that get a good amount of traffic is the ability to analyze traffic data, especially the traffic that comes from search engines.

This blog has been on hiatus for awhile as I have had to come to grips with the fact that I simply cannot accomplish everything I'd like to do all by myself.

I asked three smart domainers how would you all answer this comment I get all the time from newbie's that think you guys were in the right place at the right time and got lucky. They claim that if you had 5k to spend today you'd be just another average domainer. Mike Berkens responds:These guys are operating under a faulty assumption that we all go...

As a web developer, I come across many domainers who have the same basic
misinformed view of what web development can actually do:
"I have hundreds of domains which receive $50 a day total with PPC. If I can
develop these names to be spiderable by search engines, therefore increasing my
unique visitors, I can greatly increase my revenue!&qu...
Well I thought today would be an appropriate day for this post – why people love to hate .CO. While I'm a fan of .CO myself, I'm looking at it from the eyes of a domain developer – someone who buys domains to develop and monetize. With the .CO launch yesterday the blog and Twitter

.CO TLD Domain DevelopmentThe .CO sunrise and landrush has generated a tremendous amount of interest.??

Did I catch your attention with this strange way of writing Rick Latona's name? I should have, because although "Ryck Latowna" sounds a lot like "Rick Latona", it surely looks way out of place. Rick would never write his name as "Ryck Latowna". In the same sense, you'd never confuse Richard Svartz – a graphic...
