Data, data everywhere! I cant believe that the year is nearly over and yet there are still incredible gems revealing themselves in the data.

 Mark As Read    

There was a great discussion in one of the threads on NamePros that I felt almost compelled to join in. It was whether domain monetization is dead or not. My reply was essentially, no its not; its just changed. What I find surprising is the number of domain investors that expect a different outcome by doing exactly the same thing. I hate to rain o...

This past week we have seen a benchmark change in the domaining monetization landscape.
