A few days ago I explained why I don't consider myself a domainer, a title and word that has yet to make any dictionary. Simply put, the activity surrounding ‘domaining' is not only misunderstood to those outside of the industry, it's also distorted and abused by those in it. Allow me to explain, once again,
With almost 400,000 registered domains since the official launch, the .CO is rolling forward as a ccTLD on steroids. Although I do not recommend that anyone should heavily invest in any new TLD – unless you have money to burn – the .CO introduced a registration frenzy unlike any other in recent memory. The interest
The new weekly domain sales report is out at DNJournal.com. The week started with several reports of sales increases for 2Q-2010 vs. the previous quarter and the same quarter a year ago (our own data showed a 38% jump in dollar volume over 2Q-2009). So how did buyers respond to the good news? By taking a bit of a break!
No six figure sales, but two letter domain comes close. Domain brokerage Sedo sold oy.com for $90,000 this past week, which was the company's top completed sale. The company also had a big cloud computing domain sale, moving cloud-computing.de for 29,000 EUR, or about $38,000 USD. It's not Cloud.com, but it's still a good domain...
Mortgage backer launches web site at $50k domain name. Fannie Mae has launched a new web site at KnowYourOptions.com, a domain name the company purchased for $50,000 in June. The company, which was bailed out by U.S. taxpayers, bought the domain name through domain broker Sedo. Hopefully a U.S. citizen sold the domain name to
Rates are low, but domain prices are high. If you've shopped for a certificate of deposit rate recently, you were probably disappointed by the results. Bankrate reports the typical 6-month CD is returning just 0.85%. Perhaps you should invest in domain names instead? One of NameMedia's (runs Afternic and BuyDomains) top reported sales this week...
Building a brand around a generic domain name may create trademark headaches. You usually find the real juicy stuff in a company's annual report in the footnotes. That's why I like to read every part of court cases, too. In the recent U.S. Court of Appeals case of Advertise.com vs. AOL Advertising (Advertising.com), the court
Goodbye Google Wave. I hardly understood you. So Google Wave is getting the ax (sort of). This may have been the most hyped Google release in ages, even though so few people knew what the heck it was they were clamoring for a coveted invite for. Why did it fail? It was confusing. People didn't
Owners of .co domains can now tell Google for what location their content is targeted. Today Google finally enabled targeting the .co domain name to locations other than Colombia. .Co is the country code domain name for Colombia, so Google generally considered web sites on .co as targeted only to Columbia. I confirmed with Google
Early this morning, Google enabled geographical targeting on the .co domain name extension. This means that you can tell Google that your website is targeting people in other countries (other than Colombia) – which is what .co was originally for. I've created a step-by-step video showing you exactly how to turn on geo targeting for...
This isn't the first time we have seen this battle brought into the public eye! Time Warner Cable seems to have been in contract negotiations with several broadcasting companies lately which included FOX on a local level for me. FOX was pulled off air from TWC for a little while in 2008 and at that
The generic domain name Processing.com has been sold by domain brokerage service Sedo.com for $33,400 USD. The domain name was registered Christmas Eve in 1995 and has been since. The domain appears to even been registered before 1995, as whois records show 2 Drops. Since when a domain name drops from the registry, it also
For some reason I really like "aged" domain names and I started looking back to the history of prices back in the day and thought I would share with you. Most of the time I liked aged domain name is because all the good domain names were registered way back in the late 80's to
In a continued partnership with DotWeekly.com Sameh of Generic Domain Market is providing a full list of the GreatDomains.com auction results for the July 2010 domain auction held on Sedo.com . Here are the full auction results of domains that met reserve prices, those that did not meet the reserve price and the bid
Many people in the domain investment community have come to know Juan Calle primarily as the CEO of the .CO Registry. He regularly attends various domain conferences and events, and he is the ambassador for the new .CO domain extension, which as already seen over 380,000 registrations in under 2 weeks of being live.

Some names just look like they are going to make you money. BreastEnhancement.com is one of them. It's a great affiliate marketing term. Our seller has a site on their about plastic surgeons but honestly, if it was mine, I'd have a lead gen site for pills which would be much easier to sell over
The reserve on hear.com just got reduced significantly. While I can't say what it is here, I can say it's far less than it had been priced at before. We are looking for a quick deal on the name so if you have an interest, please submit an offer by contacting us. It's an excellent
If you like the idea of owning a Rolex but are looking for more of a dress watch, look at the Rolex Cellini line. Or perhaps you just don't want the standard round look that Rolex is so famous for. Rolex Cellini watches come in all shapes and sizes. Cellini is a brand within the
Morning Folks!! I just wanted to repost this interview I did with Sully’s Blog. It touches on some interesting items and I give my usual frank and in your face answers to the questions posed. I hope there is something of value. Mike: You recently posted about “the domain industry expanding, but domainers are shrinking??? as related to possibly keep...
"""Advertise.com, appealled the district court's entry of a preliminary injunction barring it from using a designation or trade name that is confusingly similar to Appellees' ("AOL") ADVERTISING.COM mark. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. ? 1292(a)(1). The district court enjoined Advertise.com from using "any design mark or logo that is confusin...
According to TechCrunch.com, Google will announce on Friday that it has bought the social gaming company Slide.com For $182 Million Dollars. A Businessweek article from 2007 quoted Slide investor David Weiden of Khosla Ventures as saying: "If Slide cashes out for $1.5 billion, Levchin "would regard it as abject failure." Slide describes itself as: ...

Five years ago, I was a single mother living in a hotel room with my daughter
and I had to break her piggy bank to buy groceries. Ten years ago, I was a
stay-at-home mother who needed something to do and explored with great
curiosity on what became my foundations of what I do today. Three years ago, I
finally succeeded enough to be able to quit...
So I've hit the point this year where I am completely and totally overloaded. Many of you are in the same situation so we have a bit of a shared pain here. Although it's not really pain, more like unbridled inspiration…right? Domaining is one of the most addicting things out there. Come on, admit it,
I received a few offers on Sedo the other day and decided to let one go to auction.? The offer was below what I paid but I think it's the kind of name that will do well on sedo.? Sometimes you have to just have to roll the dice and let the auction system do
