Comparatively speaking, today is a light day for expired domain auctions over at Godaddy.com. There are some nice domains in the mix, just not as many as I'm accustomed to seeing lately. These auctions begin to end around 11am EST and continue through the afternoon. Last minute bids are always your best bet, especially if

Aftermarket.com published a video today promoting their domain name aftermarket services. What do you think?

I need your help. I have a problem and want your opinion. I've been running the Domain Name Wire Survey for seven years. It asks people for their opinions on the state of the domain industry and which service providers are best. The survey was never scientific, but the results seemed to jive with reality.

Before you think this is a story of a stolen domain name, it's not. This post is about what recently happened to me when I mistakenly dropped a domain name.

When people talk about buying domain names for development the focus is often metrics like search volume and CPC. Don't get me wrong, these metrics are definitely important and I don't buy a domain name unless it meets a certain threshold. The problem is that people buy based on these metrics only thinking that they

Good morning. I'm happy to announce a new section has been added to the "Big List" each day. Andrew Rosener of Media Options has been nice enough to give me three names each day that he has for sale.

I'm not shilling for Godaddy here but there is a $2.95 deal going on at Godaddy right now that is almost too good to pass up.

You may remember that nearly a year ago, on April 15th 2011, the FBI seized the domain names of the three largest online poker sites catering to U.S. players.
