I've a bone to pick and it tastes like Toblerone. The sticky Swiss chocolate is among my favorite brands but it's definitely not the easiest to chew. Back to domains. I just completed a nice mid $x,xxx sale with a Swiss buyer. He put faith back in me with regards to Swiss domainers or investors.
I think today's hand picked list of Godaddy expired domain auctions is better than yesterday's. Much stronger in terms of brandable domains but perhaps a little weaker when it comes to search volume. I've always been a proponent of search volume but I have to admit that high numbers in that regard don't always translate
Today in the Lowdown at DNJournal.com: Inside Braden Pollock and Patrick Ruddell's new partnership in ScienceFiction.com.

That's the only plausible explanation for seven recent domain name registrations by the company. (OK, so they were actually defensive domain registrations.) blackstonesucks.com blackstonegroupsucks.com theblackstonegroups...
Easy "proof" of using a .tld for domain registration services. A lot of companies have tried to "frontrun" the new top level domain name process by filing trademark applications for .whatever. Many of these applications start out as "intent to use", but ultimately the applicant comes back saying it's using the term in commerce. Their...
Receiver wants ICANN to reverse domain transfers. Remember that court case where the receiver, in charge of a number of domain names, said ICANN had the power to stay a UDRP decision? It's getting a little wonkier. Now the receiver is asking ICANN to "undo" a handful of transfers that were completed under UDRP. Those
eNom founder's company will apply for ten top level domains. eNom founder Paul Stahura plans to apply for ten new top level domain names through his new company Donuts Inc., Bloomberg reports.

Had Rod Beckstrom been involved with the new TLD program earlier… This afternoon Rod Beckstrom held a briefing call with bloggers about the new top level domain name program. He's been on a world tour explaining the program for months, answering a number of repeated questions. Rather than beat a dead horse, I asked him

Now that the holiday cheer has worn off, it's time to get back to the real world. I want to remind you that US federal estimated taxes for the fourth quarter of 2011 are due on January 17, 2012, which is next Monday. Generally, this tax payment is due on January 15, but that date falls

About a year ago, I was fortunate enough to acquire a few high quality local GEO domains for the Jewish market—CrownHeights.com, Monsey.com and BoroPark.com. I had no original business plan for the names, but I was always impressed with the e-directory software and the benefits it can provide for your SEO efforts. I decided

To put it simply Yes and No. Most people know that I have developed out many of my domain names into small and medium sized websites. But like almost all developers I have more names that I have time to develop so I keep a number of them parked. On my parked names I have a

Anyone notice that Tebow threw for 316 and averaged 31.6 yards on Sunday? And…..The final 15 minutes of the Broncos-Steelers game had a tv rating of 31.6 (reported by the Sports Business Journal's John Ourand) John 3:16? Weird huh? Now onto the names.

Recently a buddy of mine tried to sell me a TV wall-mount he didn't need anymore. He was asking $100. I told him I can buy a brand new one for half that price. He got offended. He explained to me what a high quality mount this was, pointing out all of the features, told me

Here are the Sedo weekly numbers a little late. The first thing that grabs your attention is dudu.com. That million dollar dream sale that we all wish we had. I laugh every time I think of the company's original name godudu.com. After dudu the sales were a little weaker than normal. Some decent sales but
