Stretch of I-70 is a big promo for .biz domain name. This past weekend I took my daughter to St. Louis to visit her great-grandfather. We flew into St. Louis, and then drove 75 minutes along I-70 to his house. You may be surprised by the domain name I saw most often on billboards on
Fairwinds updates faulty report, but it's still laughable. Last month FairWinds Partners, the group behind CADNA, released a report suggesting that typosquatting costs the 250 most visited web sites $327 million a year. I immediately smelled something fishy about the biggest underlying assumption in the report: the average cost-per-click on ads on ...
Still no general consensus on registry-registrar separation for new TLDs. With names such as RACK+, "Free Trade", and CAM3, you can be excused for confusing proposals for registry-registrar separation on new TLDs with exotic subprime mortgage bonds or off-balance sheet Enron subsidiaries. But these are names of three of the six proposals for integr...
Company will help me protect my trademark by listing it on its low traffic web site for $1,117.00. One of the more frustrating and misleading domain name shenanigans is the fake renewal notice. This notice, often sent via postal mail and disguised as an invoice, gets unsuspecting businesses to pay to renew their domain name.
What makes this interesting is that its not just some dodgy cybersquatter who is registering domains, its a car servicing company! They decided to register holdenplatinumservice.com.au, holdenservice.net.au and servicingholden.com.au.

The Trade Practices Act "prohibits conduct by a corporation that is misleading or deceptive, or would be likely to mislead or deceive you. It makes no difference whether the business intended to mislead or deceive you?it is how the conduct of...
DomainReport.ca
I thought I'd do a Monday morning post on some of the recent activity in the .ca market.
DNJournal posted their weekly sales report last week, and .ca domains filled two of the top four spots on overall sales (for all extensions).
Those sales were:
Poker.ca - $400,000 US
PW.ca - $60,000 US
Also listed in the sales report were ...
GoDaddy.com runs its very own expired domain name auctions "in-house" and sells the expired domain names of its customers. (A to Z info about expired domain process at GoDaddy.com) The vast majority of domain name registrars sell the expired domain names of its customers, so this is not something new.
What are the chances of selling
I normally cover "TV Ads" and the domain names used, good or bad and generally my thoughts on them. Well, today is a little different as the ad comes in the form of a radio ad spot from Citgo® using the term FuelingGood.com for the domain name.
I always express the importance of your domain name
The domain name RandomActsOfKindness.org has been sold at Sedo.com for $25,000 USD. Foundation For Better Life was the buyer according to whois records. The domain name was first registered in August of 2002.

As I've done in the past, I want to share several of my recent domain purchases. The intent isn't to show-off or sell these domain names, but rather to give you an idea of what types of names I have been buying. As you can see, I am still buying city/town .com domain names and

Saw a spot last night in NY market (haven't seen it in Florida market) which got my attention because it uses the same puppets as Barry Diller's Hotels.com commercial.)

One of the core skill sets for any Internet marketer who call themselves an "SEO" is of course link building. Domain names can play an important part in any link building campaign. There are lots of different ways to build links to a newly developed website but one truth that I have long suspected and
The Domaining world is .COM-centric – and with good reason, .COM is the undisputed king. However sometimes I think some great ccTLD sales can get overshadowed hiding the opportunity that could exist in some already proven ccTLD markets. While I buy most of my domains specifically for development it's nice to see some of my
Hope everyone had a nice weekend, I finally did.? Didn't have to work on Sunday for the first time in a month.? Took the family to the County Fair and had a few lemon shakeups, deep fried stuff, and some funnel cakes.?? Good thing I had a nice 25 mile bike beforehand.? I saved a
If you're looking to make money in domaining then I would agree, 5 letter dot coms are not the way to go.? That being said, the world is an ever growing place and there are plenty of companies and organizations looking for names.? I've always felt that the shorter the domain, the easier it is

Case Study –
When the .TEL TLD came out of the ICANN stables it was supposed to be a revolutionary new method of establishing a new identity online. Adding to the launch hoopla was the infamous Ben.tel video depicting two hormone-laden Brits fighting for the attention of an uptown blonde – all while riding an intercity train. The
