Here is an interesting What If that I thought up the other day and the more I think about it, it likely happens a fair amount of the time. What if a Sedo.com domain buyer purchases a domain, but it never reaches "their" registrar account? It may seem odd, but I know it happens because

3 more five figure domain name sales to report coming out of Sedo.com domain name aftermarket service. Leading the way is: SoccerStar.com with a $20,000 sale. SoccerStar.com was first registered in September 2000. The seller was Telepathy, Inc. (Owner of Minisites.com) and the new buyer is not yet known due to the domain still being

I never really understood Reddit as the site just looks odd, but I always see articles from the site on Alexa.com/whatshot and surely one with the title of: I admire a man who holds on to a domain just for a one liner (link) Is going to grab my attention! So out of boredom waiting

ccTLD's (country code, top-level domains) are becoming more popular by the day and many "tech" people are well aware of them, but are the average folk on the street? When the average person "see's" a word, acronym, phrase, number set etc and it's ending in ".com" that translates for the majority, "website". I can go...

Hillshire Farm® is another new company (first time I wrote about them) jumping into the creative uses of domain names in marketing! Hillshire is using the domain name MostWantedSandwich.com and is offering a $2 off coupon by asking visitors of the site to vote for a winner. "Hillshire Farm asked your favorite bloggers from across

It hasn't been overly active on Sedo's side of publicly reporting domain name sales the past couple of days, so I haven't been publishing that many but I felt today had some to report. MovingQuotes.net sold for $11,000 USD. Interesting .net domain to grab 5 figures IMO but it did. The buyer was GDG International

I love call to action domain names and mainly because of there sheer power for make sense marketing! You do not have to be some huge company in order to use one either! The call to action part of it comes in the message the domain name has. Let's take the domain name ViewMyHome.com for

Homeland Security has taken down another popular website and this time it's Dattebayo.com. The site has been active since about 2004 and presented Anime series. According to a couple articles that I read, the site would convert Japanese Animes to English. The ICE seizure notice on Dattebayo.com is a copyright seizure. The seizure of Dattebayo.com...

I use to try and grab PendingDelete domain names on the drop as they happen (.com) all the time. It really use to be how I got all my domain names but overtime the field got busy and it got harder and harder to grab anything decent. Even though a lot of domain names drop

Here is a slap you in the face, make sense domain name for a carpet company! CarpetCompany.com, which just sold at the domain name aftermarket service Sedo.com for $16,500 USD! CarpetCompany.com was first registered in October 2003. According to whois, the buyer is ITD Vertriebs GmbH and the domain name was purchased from none other

I had questioned how many domain names were really available over at Sedo.com but that are listed for sale in this article that got A LOT of attention. These kinds of list can be much more valuable than your everyday "available" domain name lists and DomainWhiz.net has put together a special location for you to

Why I never found this free tool before, I don't know but the good news is I did today and I'm going to share it with you! Every domain name investor needs a domain name sorting tool, because there are times we all run into a huge list of domain names but only wish to

I haven't been buying that many domain names lately and it's simply due to low funds, but I have been active in at least "trying" to buy. You have to get a lot more creative when your funds are low but my mind still sees potential in the domain names that I buy. The first

Back in December I contacted Sedo.com personally and advised them that some current seized domain names were being offer for sale on Sedo and I thought I would be sure they were aware of it. I got a reply back to my message and the person I contacted said they would pass along the message

I had seen a longer version of an infomercial for the P90X® workout system and during the TV ad they used the domain name DoTheX.com . This was the first time that I have seen the commercial and the domain name used. I must admit, DoTheX.com is pretty unique and it does grab your attention.

The other day I had reported the domain name BacklinkCheck.com sold for $7,000 USD over at Sedo. I made a quick comment next to the domain name when I did the article that stated "without looking, I would bet the same domain but with ER on the end gets more search traffic and is worth

I have dabbled with just about every affiliate program in the domain name industry, and I can say that all the ones I have tried are mainly "crappy". GoDaddy gets a lot of traffic from me, but sends me peanut shells back in revenue. The majority of time, I am sending them about 800 to

The domain name GamesForGirls.com has been sold at Sedo.com for $500,000 USD. So why did this domain sell for so much? Games are HOT and the search term has HUGE results according to the Google keyword tool. 9,140,000 global and 2,240,000 local NetIncome Ventures Inc was the seller and the domain name is still in

Here is my final auction update on the premium .co domain name auction at Sedo. Two domains meet reserve at $20,000 USD! The auction ends in just a couple hours today (2/17/2011) at about 11 AM CST. I have been tracking the auction from the start and wanted to keep a historical track record of

So you have a huge online company VS one guy with a computer! One pays $350,000 on a "Shortcut" domain name and millions promoting it in print and TV ads! The other one drives a 1993 Toyota Corolla with an O-val logo! OK get to the point… Jerky! Overstock.com® has been spending some big bucks

The super premium and rare two character domain name TZ.com has been sold at Sedo.com for $80,000 USD. Several 2 character .com domain names have been selling as of late (considering the low amount of them) and most have been selling around the same price $xxx,xxx in 2011. TS.com $186,000 KF.com $123,504 JF.com $100,000 Two

What if…. well, that is one thing that is hard to write about (what if situations) because most of the time it doesn't come true. Well, let's hope this is the case behind this "What If" story that my brain decided to come up with today. Since domain name registrars and domain name auction services

As many of you know, I have been tracking the seized domain names by U.S. homeland security and the ICE division. Today I decided to take a peek at the SeizedServers.com DNS and sure enough! I checked not that long ago and the number on the server was around 82 but today that number spiked

I have been following the Sedo.com premium .co domain name auction since it started yesterday and here is an update with what domain names have bids, what has met reserve and by mistake… I was able to find traffic stats provided by Sedo for each domain name. I copied the list from Sedo and in

Here is an eye catching domain name that shows the power of domain names: BeyondTheRack.com Catchy, because guys seem to drool at the thought of seeing a boob(s)! Women drool at the thought of designer clothes and accessories up to 70% off! So the real question here is… Fashion or Boobs? Still not sure by

Sedo has been just spanking the other domain name aftermarket services. I remember back when SnapNames held a lot of the top spots on DnJournal.com and now it has been pretty rare to even see SnapNames on the big board. NameJet hasn't been all that active on the big board either, but Sedo continues week

Groupon started running commercials during the 2010/2011 Super Bowl and has continued to do so after the big game as well. One ad that grabbed my attention is the one with model Elizabeth Hurley which talks about the brazilian rain forest and it wasn't because of the ads message or the pretty lady. It was

Wikileaks.biz domain name has been auctioned off at domain name registrar Godaddy.com in an expired domain name auction that ended on 2/7/2011. A total of 26 bids were placed between 6 bidders and the auction ended for $604 USD. The domain names surrounding Wikileaks have been a story in itself for at least a little
