The "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" works well when the characters are straightforward letters or numbers that must be entered inside an input
Today's list of expired domain auctions and closeouts has a lot to offer. BlueEnglishBulldogs.com would be a valuable asset in the hands of a breeder.

I've written an article about how I used LeadRefs.com and a second article about another way to use LeadRefs.com, but today I want to discuss when NOT to use LeadRefs.com to sell a domain name. The tool provides the email addresses of people and/or companies that might be interested in buying your domain name based on a

Yesterday I did a post about my new favorite tool for keeping track of end-user leads, so today I thought I'd go a bit deeper and talk about negotiating with end-users. Before I do this though I will say for the zillionth time, I am by no means a domain sales expert. People like Michael
I received an interesting email from a reader who made a point that I honestly haven't thought much of until now. The reader had visited one of my websites and said that he felt it didn't look as professional because it didn't have a favicon. Just to make sure we're all on the same page,
I had a ton of interest on the Blogger post from yesterday. I had kids events all night last night so if I didn't get back to your emails don't worry I'll get to them today.

Yesterday domain broker Toby Clements revealed a new section to his popular daily domain newsletter, highlighting what he calls Value Oriented Domains.

A quick correction to yesterday's post on LincolnPark.com. Regarding the inbound link data from OpenSiteExplorer.org – I was wrong. There are actually 13 inbound links, not one. There is a single link only to the http:// (which I referred to yesterday), and 12 links from 9 domains to the www. From a look at the
The Australian Football League has just added its name to the short but growing list of companies announcing plans to apply to ICANN for a new "dot-brand" top-level domain.
