Me: "Bloody Hell, have you seen who this enquiry is from Bob?"
Bob: "No, who is it"?
Me: "Only one of the largest utility companies in the country, asking if we can help them with roof surveys for their new green energy installations".
Bob: "Tell ‘em bollocks. Actually, let's have a look… F**k me, where did that come...
Do you have a great generic domain name that would be ideal for an end-user company?
If the answer is "yes", but to date, despite your belief in that name, you haven't had a flood of offers coming your way, then you have three choices:
Contact a broker
Get real
Start selling
A broker, if a real domain brokerage actually
A second Keynote Speaker has been added for next week's DOMAINfest New York Power Networking Day...DNWStats.com adds Parked.com as a partner for their new traffic and revenue verification service...and a large group of 3-Letter ccTLDs have gone on the auction block at NameDrive's NDX Market.
A new opportunity for domain investors is on the horizon. Domain investing is about to enter whole new era with the launch of new top level domain names. Regardless of if they like the idea of new TLDs or not, a number of domainers are evaluating starting their own top level domain names. Consider it
HostExploit report generates more questions than answers. I just finished reading HostExploit's report about Demand Media and its domain name registration business (eNom). Whenever I read a report like this, I try to think about the motives of the report's authors. In this case, it's clear that HostExploit wanted to rush something out to piggyback...
Parked now works with DNW Certified Stats. Today I launched Parked.com on DNW Certified Stats, which means you now have an easy way to share your Parked domain name parking stats. (If you don't have a domain parking account with Parked.com, click here to sign up.) Here's how it works. Say you're buying or selling
Domain registrar's business generating cash, but currency changes skew results. At first glance Tucow's second quarter earnings announcement today looked bad. The company lost a penny a share for the quarter, compared to earnings of 6 cents a share in the same quarter of 2009. But then you dig into the details: the company realized...
Look for shorter .tel domain names soon. .Tel registry Telnic has formally asked ICANN to allow it to offer one and two character .tel domain names. The company would not offer two letter domains that correspond to an existing country code, nor would it release one and two digit domain names. Telnic wants to initially
The big news is that next week we will be launching our new show on domain name investment – Domainer Income TV. We have had some very talented people working on this project for months. One thing I can promise you is that its going to be VERY different from anything you have seen before.
I am a big fan of the TV show American Choppers® and have followed Paul Teutul Jr since the break up with his dad's company and the launching of his new company Paul Jr. Designs. I covered his new company / website launch back in October 2009.
AT that time, the site focused on selling Hats
Lately, domain sellers always seem to be asking each other if others are experiencing a slow down. I haven't had a bad year, especially considering last year was my worst year by far, but this summer has been pretty slow in terms of domain sale.
From my perspective, it seems that many domain investors aren't investing

The domain investment industry can be isolating, and although there are domain forums to discuss business, there isn't always the same level of camaraderie found in a traditional workplace. Attending a domain conference is a very good way to meet other domain investors, but for some people, the travel and/or expense isn't feasible.
I recommend reac...
I've decided to put NassauHotels.com on the market with a price of $25,000. When people plan a vacation in the Bahamas, most of them specifically plan to visit Nassau. The international airport in Nassau services large jets from many of the leading airlines, include JetBlue, Continental, American, and US Airways.
There are many hotels and resorts

On the 25th of August in Dublin at our T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Domain Conference and Expo we'll be auctioning off BankAuctions.com to the highest bidder. This is a timely domain as many of us feel that the "recession" will last another five years or so. Regardless of signs of economic recovery, the age of excessiveness is over
Normally I'm not too crazy about movie related names as there are many established players in online video. ShortFilms.com is set apart, in my opinion. Sometimes it's better to have a domain that is more targeted to a specific niche and not TOO generic. When I think of short films I think of mostly low
Tucows.com reported earnings after the market closed today Net revenue for the second quarter of 2010 increased 4.1% to $20.8 million from $20.0 million for the second quarter of 2009. However Tucows swung to a loss for the Quarter compared to a year ago: Net loss for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.8 million,

For those who think domain opportunities came with timing and luck... read what Jeff has to say:On the secondary market, the last domain I bought, which is still in escrow, is TopAffiliatePrograms.com. I wanted to move this in somewhere along the line. One of the things that I've tried to do is to look at where things are going. The economic downtu...
"The future wealth potential of the Internet is only going to get bigger and bigger each year. So my bet is on the Net!" ~~Kevin Leto (love the song on your HP)Over 15 months ago while the world was focused on Anna Nicole, this little report got buried in the back pages:http://www.daszkalbolton.com/index.php?src=news&submenu=news&ref no=239It's a si...

On various forums and blogs I often read that "Parking is Dead" and that people are only earning a few pennies. While revenue might be down, parking for me is not only about the money it has more important uses. The domain parking service I use most is Parked.com its simple, and the service is

Did I get your attention? I thought so. When you saw this headline you probably thought, "What, who cares about Bing? It's a Google world!" and you would be right…however Bing gives Domainers some free search love that you just can't ignore. So what's the big deal about Bing? The first thing you should know
Last week I was in Toronto and unfortunately couldn't broadcast MorganLinton.tv. So this week I'm making it up to all of you with an extra-special episode of MorganLinton.tv with a completely brand-new segment that will hopefully blow you away! I would tell you more about what to expect…but that would take all the fun out
As I've discussed several times over the last week, I'm in Laguna Beach on vacation and I want to thank everyone for all the great tips on where to go and what to see. From readers to domain friends, even Michael Castello chimed in and suggested a ride for Disney (turned out to me one
