Here are my domains of note for Godaddy expired auctions ending January 26th. In my opinion, there isn't a clear winner in today's list. Some nice names but nothing that combines high search volume with strong advertising interests. Nonetheless, there are some nice brandables and most of these .com's are registered in other extensions which
My deleted domain watchlist had about 180 domains on it going into today's drop. Only 47 made it through and are now available below. There is so much more back order activity nowadays compared to a few short years ago. I seem to remember about 70% of the domains I found becoming available in 2007

Sedo publishes fact sheet about its promotion and pricing levels. I have to admit I've been a bit confused by the various listing levels now offered at Sedo, especially when it comes to the SedoMLS system.

Twitter gets typo of its Twitter.com domain name.

I also like to check fo...

With DOMAINfest coming-up next week I thought it was about time for me to share some advice on making the most out of Domain Conferences.

Sedo has a pretty good auction closing today. Going after a few names myself. Of course you won't see those names on my list. That would be silly. While I have you. Anyone interested in me doing a daily newsletter of names with no bids? Let me know, in the meantime here are today's names.

Ay yie yie. Here we go again. I've well documentated the fact that I'm not on social media. I joined Facebook once and found myself avoiding people I didn't want to talk to more than I was "networking socially". I don't have a Twitter account because I honestly don't think that anyone wants to know
