One of my single word dot .com domains received an offer a few days ago. The person contacted me via the WHOIS info and asked me what is my asking price for this "unused domain", which he said he'd use for a business he's launching. The domain is not only a short generic and 18
I love my iPhone as much as anyone but I never envisioned the do everything device might become a key piece of news gathering equipment for professional journalists.Gannett, the media giant that publishes USA Today, is buying 1000s of iPhones & iPads to help its reporters record video & retool for the web.
Goldberger featured in TV news story about MiamiPolice.com. Domain name attorney Ari Goldberger of ESQwire.com was featured in an NBC Miami story last week about MiamiPolice.com. The Miami Policy let the domain name expire a couple years ago and it was picked up by someone who now parks the domain with DomainSponsor. While I'm not
From .xxx to Google to expired domains. Last week I did my obligatory "top stories of 2011" post. But let's not forget that there was a month of December, too. Here are the top stories on Domain Name Wire last month, ranked by page views. 1. It’s go-time for .xxx as www.Buy.xxx commercials make a
Local hotel can keep its domain name — which may seem trivial given the day-to-day challenges of operating a business in Kabul. Looking for a weekend getaway to Kabul, Afghanistan? Perhaps you'd like to stay at the Intercontinental Kabul, given Intercontinental's international reputation. But the hotel in Kabul hasn't been licensed by Interco...

We all know domainers are always looking for new and different ways to monetize their domains. In 2011, lead generation was a fairly hot topic as many started looking at it's potential. I've had some success with loan and real estate leads, and also own some general, insurance and business leads domains.
Today I received an em...

I've never put an 'advertise here' link on DomainReport.ca, mainly because I've just written this blog for my own enjoyment and passion for the domain industry. Since it's a New Year, I'm going to try something new and offer some space on the blog for advertisers.
Three positions will be made available, one at the top of each pag...
Congratulations to Trafficz on the company's ten year anniversary. Here's a video created by Thought Convergence and Trafficz discussing how the company was founded and grew into one of the leading PPC service providers.
I am not someone that likes to gloat or brag, and that's is the primary reason I don't publish my sales in DNJournal nor do I choose to write about anything related to how much money I earn. However, someone linked to my blog's Compete chart in a comment on Berkens' blog, and that troll
I read Sedari's press release (posted on TheDomains.com) announcing a game for people to guess how many applications will be received in the upcoming gTLD program. The winner of this game will receive "publicity and the admiration of the entire ICANN and domain name world for getting it right courtesy of Sedari." When I read
Sedo ended 2011 on a strong note, recording just over $930,000 in domain sales during the final week of the year. There were 498 total sales completed at Sedo. The highest publicly recorded sale was VitaminCenter.com, a domain name previously owned by Marchex, which closed at $35,000. One of the most interesting numbers Sedo now
I just received Afternic's sales report from the final week in 2011, and the numbers were strong. The company closed $1,276,373 in domain sales, and that includes both private and public sales. Leading the way last week was Bizable.com, which appears to have been sold through the Godaddy channel, at least according to Whois data.
The Coalition Against Domain Name Abuse (CADNA), issued a press release today of its "recommendations" for ICANN, the US Congress and the NTIA for the new gTLD program, and its a pretty long wish list. Here it is in full: """"For ICANN: The ICANN Board should determine and announce when the next round of new
The auctions for Sunrise/Land Rush .XXX domain names started today. An auction was scheduled if more than 1 application was submitted either during the Sunrise or Land Rush period for the same .XXX domain. I do not believe ICM, the company that runs the .XXX Registry, has ever released a statement as to how many
It didn't take long into the new year for a strange UDRP decision to be published and this time its the Trademark Holder that can complain. Inter-Continental Hotels lost a UDRP on the domain name intercontinentalkabul.com. Even more interesting is the domain name holder didn't even respond to the UDRP The decision doesn't make much...
PCWorld.com just published an article entitled the "Top 5 Major Changes Facing The Internet" in 2012. The article starts off saying: "2012 is poised to go down in Internet history as one of the most significant 12-month periods from both a technical and policy perspective since the late 1990′s" Number 3 on the list is...
Sedo Just reported its sales for the week after Christmas that included the New Years Holiday, traditionally a VERY slow week for business In all Sedo reports selling 498 sales totaling over $930,000. Not bad. 33% of total sales were the result of Buy Now listings. Here is the list of all reportable sales

In a letter tonight sent by Larry Strickling of the US Department of Commerce to the ICANN chairman Steve Crocker, the Commerce Department says its going to examine the program after the application period for the new gTLD period closes and ICANN discloses the list of applicants on May 1st. Speaking about the new gTLD
The time has come to draw a name out of our Reverse Whois contest entries. And the winner is…Paul Goldstone! His entry read, "Dear Santa, please send me a free reverse lookup report. There's a cookie in it for you!" Congratulations, Paul! Honorable mentions go to the following contestants who submitted some great entries: ****#1...
For product domain owners like myself the holiday season is always a little extra special. With millions of people online searching for gifts I always see traffic and advertising revenue increase. With many of my outdoor's related domain this is always a nice boost in revenue during the winter months which are normally slower for

Welcome to the first of a three-part series I'll be doing this week reflecting on what worked and what didn't work last year.

In 2011 a new focus on two and three-word .COMs made one heck of a difference and in 2012 I'm expanding my reach to now include numeric domain names.

We all played monopoly as a kid. For most of us, it was the first time we got a taste of investing, buying and selling, and being broke. As a father of a 12 year old, I've come full circle and now it's time to teach my daughter a little about my favorite game. The
It was a holiday week around the world but Sedo still managed to sell close to a million dollars worth of domains. Not too shabby. Again, the Buy It Now numbers are strong with 33% off all sales being finalized using this method. The surprise sale for me was the domain hack whi.ch going for
