Life in hi-definition

 Mark As Read    

I feel secure enough to publicly share that I was a terrible baseball player as a child. I never hit the ball. In fact, I played from little league up through high-school as a starting bench warmer. I had a decade of miserable experiences on the ball field. I don't know if that's an example

Own sopa.com today

 Mark As Read    

Latona's has secured the listing for sopa.com. There's something about this name that I like and thought was blog worthy. Let's see, what is it? Oh, it means "sweep" in Swedish. Wait, that's not it. In domainer terms it's a cvcv or consannant-vowel-consannant-vowel. Hey I speak Spanish. Of course. It means "soup". "Sopa de tomate

Why I'm raising my prices on all my domains

 Mark As Read    

I was having a Skype conversation with a couple of domainers that have huge portfolios and put up big sales numbers each year. We started talking about how to price your domains and by the end of the conversation I realized why I have been selling mine too cheap for too long. When comparing numbers,

The Great Bridge by David McCullough

 Mark As Read    

I like to walk. My friends, family and other travel companions know they need to bring comfortable shoes when they go on trips with me. On visits to New York City I've gone on some epic journeys, some lasting more than 8 hours. I had a friend that lived in Dumbo (Down under the?Manhattan?Bridge Overpass)

Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Civilization by Richard Miles - A book review Carthage was where modern day Tunisia is now. The story of Carthage spans 800 years from around 950 B.C. to 146 B.C. when during the Third Punic War and the?Battle of Carthage, the city was destroyed

The War of 1812 The Navy's War by George C Daughan

 Mark As Read    

I've been behind on book reviews so excuse the numerous blog posts, Facebook and Twitter updates coming this weekend. I've actually been consuming books at a near record pace recently as I've fallen back in love with listening to audio books. With so little time to sit and read holding a book, audio books allow

New Product Announcement - ResearchLabs.com

 Mark As Read    

Here's an opportunity for designers and webmasters to make some money developing premium domain names. This is a soft and very humble launch. We are trying to get this out the door on a shoestring budget. Over the years I've lost a small fortune trying to mass develop domains as mini-sites and then lost another

Are singular or plural domains better?

 Mark As Read    

This is a subject that has been on my mind a lot lately. The domainer in me would naturally gravitate to the plural of a domain in most cases. After all, a store called?refrigerator.com doesn't make as much sense as refrigerators.com. Just how big is their inventory? Since relaunching Latona's and refocusing my brokerage company

A particularly good deal on Latona's - easytoinsureme.com

 Mark As Read    

Let's break down a deal that is particularly great due to a recently lowered reserve. The site is easytoinsureme.com which has just been reduced to $50,000. Here's a link to the listing. I think it's prudent to get right to the biggest thing everyone is going to want to talk about, the revenue reported on

Who should make the first offer, the buyer or the seller?

 Mark As Read    

I once heard that 86% of statistics are made up on the fly. In that vein, here's my article. Most of my life I've felt what I think nearly everyone else feels that you are better off getting the other party to make the first offer. ?It's the standard in business at large, not just

2012 Will be the year of 3 and 4 word domains

 Mark As Read    

I don't normally make predictions, publicly. Ok, maybe I have a couple of times. This one is a bit more bold, though. Perhaps it's because I work with so many search engine guys at our website broker service that's helping me form this opinion. Or maybe it's the press releases from companies like Bankrate where

In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson Book Review

 Mark As Read    

I hated In the Garden of Beasts when I first started reading it. Mainly, I felt deceived. What I knew about the book was that it was the early days of Hitler's regime and life in Berlin was described through the eyes of an American family that was living there at the time. You expect

ReviewCar.com Reserve Lowered Revenue Higher

 Mark As Read    

One of our Latona's listings, ReviewCar.com just lowered their reserve from from $129,000 to $88,000 even after redesigning their site and increasing their revenue from $2 200 per month to more than $2600. The asking price is now less than three times earnings. I like that about the deal but what I really like to

Unbroken by Lauren Hillenbrand Book Review

 Mark As Read    

Unbroken follows the life of American hero Louis Zamperini. I had been looking forward to this book coming. The book's?author, Laura Hillenbrand is both a good writer as well as an inspirational story herself. She suffers from chronic fatigue and rarely leaves her own house. Yet, she writes inspirational books like Sea Biscuit and now

One Latona's property is making $2000 per day

 Mark As Read    

When we first listed car insurance quote site CarInQuotes.com on Latona's, the lead generation site had a running revenue average of about $170,000. Today it's doing more than $2000 per day or more than $700,000 per year. It's a good case study of the pros and cons of buying search engine sites. The seller originally

My thoughts on the coming gTLD BATNA

 Mark As Read    

I remember the Singapore ICANN conference like it was yesterday. I remember the sign in the airport saying drug traffickers will be executed and the intense heat that hit me when I walked outside. Mostly, I remember the atmosphere at the ICANN convention itself. Everyone was excited about the big change about to happen in

Are domains worthless?

Dear Domainers, Domains are not worthless. That wasn't at all what I meant. There's been a lot of drama surrounding last Tuesday's announcement so I felt compelled to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon?elaborating?on some of my comments that sparked so much outrage.

The new Latona's is live. What it is and why we are doing it

 Mark As Read    

For months now I've been divesting from the pure generic domain business and defining in my organization the class of assets known as web properties. I believe that what matters in today's day and age is cash flow. That is the simplest way to explain the new business model behind Latona's. To fully understand where

Another reason print is a dying medium. Who carries 8 quarters?

Every time I find myself at Atlanta's airport I pass a vending machine that sells the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Without fail, I tell myself, "You knew it was going to be there, you should have brought two dollars in change". Seriously though, why should I have to do that? If these newspapers are going to
