On Friday, Rick Schwartz announced a deal that myself and 34 others could not refuse; a $995 ticket for TRAFFIC 2012 in Ft. Lauderdale. Having attended TRAFFIC 2008 in Orlando and TRAFFIC 2010 in Las Vegas, I can only say that I'm very excited to have booked my attendance for this year, a full nine
Here are my Godaddy expired domain auction picks for January 16th. Overall this list is thin for product domains but JeanLeggings.com is in there and it's a good one. Plenty of search volume and I've seen plenty of people wearing them. I believe they're also referred to as "pajama jeans." The Boston neighborhood domains also
The deadline to apply for DOMAINfest Global's popular PITCHfest Contest for online entrepreneurs (coming up Feb. 1) was set for today, but conference organizers decided to leave the window open a little longer. Elsewhere, time is running out to bid in a 1,2 & 3 Letter .PRO domain auction that ends Tuesday night.
Brand owners may need to rethink why and when to defensively register domain names. Last week I wrote an article suggesting that trademark holders many need to change the way they defensively register domains for their brands in light of the new top level domain launch. One of the issues I discussed was third level
MyVault.com owner fights back against UDRP complainant. Over the holidays I noticed a UDRP was filed against MyVault.com at National Arbitration Forum. I was immediately curious as to the back story on this given how this domain seems generic (and a good domain at that). Since National Arbitration Forum doesn't publish the name of the
VeriSign transferred domain last week as result of court order. In June 2010 a UDRP panel found in favor of the respondent for the domain name FirstQuote.com. The owner, who lives in China, paid thousands of dollars for the domain and thousands to defend it in the UDRP. But then in December 2010, the complainant
Nat Cohen's Telepathy can keep Libertad.com domain name. Ari Goldberger's ESQwire.com law firm has successfully defended Nat Cohen's libertad.com domain name in a UDRP case. "Libertad" means freedom or liberty in Spanish. The case was brought by Libertad Servicios Financieros, S.A., a Mexican financial services company. Playing in Cohen's favor was...
A good way to waste a lot of money and get sued. eBay seller priccut88 wants to help you land in legal hot water — all for a one time payment of just $2,000. The user is selling a list that apparently has 25 million companies that haven't yet registered their domain in .xxx. Here's

Novartis has announced a voluntary recall of several of its popular brands like Excedren®, Gas-X®, NoDoz® and Bufferen®.

I see a lot of newly registered domain names by big and small companies and one thing I have been noticing over the past week or so are domain names ending in HD! At first this threw me off a little bit, because HD TV's have been around for awhile… then I got reading a
One of my biggest pet peeves is being nickeled and dimed. It's usually not that I can't afford to pay a tiny bit more for something, but it's annoying to pay more than I should be paying. Yesterday at midnight, Verisign increased .com and .net domain prices by 7%. The wholesale cost for .com domain
I've read about how some of the wisest domain investors negotiate huge domain sales, and this is not one of those stories. This is a lesson to domain investors who think a higher offer will always materialize after an opening offer, and hopefully it will make you to think twice when you receive an offer.
I noticed a Twitter update by GoDaddy CEO Warren Adelman, and I wanted to share it with you. Go Daddy has several very large billboards in Times Square, which were erected last week (click image to see full size). By the looks of it, the billboards are on 42nd Street near the intersection of 7th
Because Tim Tebow couldn't hit the broadside of the sun during a supernova, and the Denver Bronco defense gave Tom Brady enough time to make footballs out of a live pig, I am wearing this jersey. Long, painful story short, I lost a bet with Name.com customer Mike Maddaloni, the owner of pro-Patroits website, GoPats.com.
Morning Folks!! I never did this before. But it has been several years since someone new in the domain industry has burst on the scene and made such an impact. I appreciate folks that try and further the domain business and understanding of domain names. Who reach out to new audiences to expand the pie. 2011-2012 will be remembered as the years in ...

Along with all the normal things that High School students did, I was also escaping to San Francisco three times a week working for an innovative software company called Xaos Tools.

One of the most common questions I get from blog readers is, "What registrar should I use for my domains?" I personally keep most of my domains between Go Daddy and Moniker, and a handful of other registrars. I've always had a great experience with both of these registrars but with so many other registrars
Good morning. Hope everyone had a great weekend. Only two more weeks until DomainFest. Have you picked out what you're going to wear? I can't wait to see what scarf Merlin Kaufman is going to wear. The anticipation is killing me. Now on to the names. Ezby.com I'd pay $69 for this one, except
One of the reasons I would never leave DomainShane.com to write for another blog that perhaps may be offering more money is because on most any other blog I wouldn't be able to do a post like this. Sure this is a domaining blog, but domaining is a business, and inspiration or business can come
"Dot com Killer" "Completely Change The Internet" "Cyber Criminal's Dream" . Words all spoken about the new tlds. My feeling is that most will may no impact to the daily lives of anyone on the internet. Many will be merely collectibles that were purchased because it gives the owner a personalized brand. Others purchased with...

I now have to ask my father to...
