These are the kinds of domain name sales that make domain name investing interesting. I have said many times that any domain name can really sell for any price. You may have heard the term, "A domain name is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it." I think this is one of

One of the domain names that current has bids in the extended Domainfest domain name auction currently running on SnapNames.com is CJ.org with a current bid of $29,420 USD. Considering the popularity of Commission Junction and the fact that they own and use the domain name CJ.com, they would be a likely buyer of the

Here is the latest GoDaddy.com home page redesign which includes an "Activate" button that made me wonder what the heck is that all about! You will also find below a video from Domainfest 2010 by CNN that covered the domain name auction. I saw the video yesterday on ChefPatrick.com but one thing that interested me

The August 2010 SnapNames.com Showcase auction results are in. Here is the list of domain names that sold at auction and for what prices. Over 200 domain names were listed in the monthly auction and with the Domainfest auction in the same month, it may have stolen some of the Showcase auctions thunder. TennisCamp.com lead

The August GreatDomains auction being held at Sedo.com is currently underway and I wanted to let you know what is happening.  The domain name auction ends August 26, 2010 at about 12:00 PM EST. This auction holds a total of 118 domain names and everyone of them is either .com or .net . 20 of the

Hex Light was featured on the popular Pitchmen show airing on the second season of the show. Inventor Eric Prater was serving his country as a Marine and had a hard time digging trenches during training holding the government issued flashlight. It was heavy, took a valuable hand to hold or simply didn't stay in

I dabble around in affiliate marketing and am no expert by any means but the difference between EPC and Affiliate sales (CPA) is pretty crazy if you think about it. For an example, I wrote about a product the other day but at the time the affiliate program that I signed up for didn't get

The second season of Pitchmen aired last night on the Discovery Channel® and the two main products that got the spotlight were Cold Fire® and Hex Light®. Cold Fire is a fire suppression product in an aerosol can. Since aerosol cans are used almost on a daily basis by many people and are super easy to

While covering the launch of the Candy.com website after the purchase of the domain name, I wrote about things that I felt needed improvements and one of those was the all important blog area of the site. I talked about it several times but I will quote myself from the June 7, 2009 posting that

I was over at GoDaddy.com and looking at some auctions and noticed IMBD.co that is currently on auction and the bid price was already at $5,505 on 17 bids for the no reserve auction. The bid price is interesting to me and so is the brief statement by the owner of the domain for an auction

Pool.com sent out an email with the intent to hype up (in my words) an up coming auction for 2 character .biz domain names that did not meet previous reserves or were defaulted on by past bidders… the problem is, the hype failed IMO! The email for those who didn't see it: 2-character .biz domains are back

Things have been a little slow for me between developing on a couple of my new domain purchases so this has taken some time away from my normal "digging" to come up with stories to write but here are some things that grabbed my eye and thought you may find interesting. MSN.com called Zappos Tony Hsieh

Doing some research today, I ran into two websites with SSL certificate errors and both were because of two different reasons. Since I ran into two of them, I thought it may be a good idea to write it about it because the errors often are similar to what happens with domain names. SSL Certificates are

Back in June 2010 I covered some of the highest reported .tel domain name sales that took place in the domain name aftermarket and at that time Storage.tel lead the way with a $3,950 selling price at Sedo. That is likely to change as Pay.tel has a $5,000 USD bid placed on the domain name in

Here is a current list of expired .me domain names that are currently on auction at GoDaddy.com . All of these .me domain names are expired domain name auctions that were landrush domains from 2008. Some pretty decent domain names in the list from personal names like Rick.me and Cathy.me to Geo domains like Fresno.me

I have been keeping an eye on the domain name Poker.org since it was purchased for the record breaking $1,000,000 sale for .org domain names. The domain name was purchased by PokerCompany.com from National A-1. The sale was reported on February 17, 2010. So about 6 months has passed since the million bucks were spent on

I am a big fan of the TV show American Choppers® and have followed Paul Teutul Jr since the break up with his dad's company and the launching of his new company Paul Jr. Designs. I covered his new company / website launch back in October 2009. AT that time, the site focused on selling Hats

Sedo.com has just brokered the domain name sale of Car-Insurance.co for $1,200 USD. Was this the first reported hyphen .co domain name? (I typed .com twice already instead of .co)  It appears that this is the first reported hyphenated .co (third time) domain name that I have seen sell since the public launch of the .co

If you were to visit LiveDomainAuction.net at 9:30 AM this morning, it would have been just another quick click out of a domain name sitting parked. Well, since I said I was going to slowly start developing my domain names that are sitting parked, this is one that I worked on this morning. I didn't just

TurnkeyWebsite.com has been purchased by Turnkey Internet Inc. for $4,000 USD. Now this isn't the biggest domain name sale that you will see but it is a little interesting when you look into it a bit. Many of us know that BuyDomains.com owns a lot of domain names (900,000+) and the vast majority of them are

The generic domain name Processing.com has been sold by domain brokerage service Sedo.com for $33,400 USD. The domain name was registered Christmas Eve in 1995 and has been since. The domain appears to even been registered before 1995, as whois records show 2 Drops. Since when a domain name drops from the registry, it also

When you make a domain name sale, there is one thing that is pretty obvious.. they are a domain buyer! They may be an "end user", they may be a developer, marketing company or they simply may be a domain investor but they are a domain buyer. You may not realize it at the time

You may have noticed a new advertiser on DotWeekly.com in the form of DIS Inc. (Domain Investment Services) that offers a private domain name newsletter but I wanted to tell you a little bit more about them than a banner ad and what they other. Justin Godfrey is the owner of DifferentInvestments.com and many of you

Ford® has teamed up with Rally Car driver Ken Block (owner of DC shoes) and the driver of the # 43 Ford Fiesta Rally Car to help promote the new 2011 Ford Fiesta. The promotion is run on the domain name RockItLikeBlock.com but the domain does a simple 301 redirect (forward) to promo.espn.go.com. The ad

I always like to dig into things a little deeper than most because it often brings to light some things we may not notice just by looking at something. So, today I wanted to do a little bit of digging and get some stats on domain names that are currently in the Pre-Release section on

I had always still used Whois.sc to get to whois.domaintools.com. The domain name simply did a forward in the past but that is no longer the case! Pretty wise by DomainTools.com to do this, because Whois.sc will start ranking better in search engines IMO. So what does the New Whois.sc look like and what is new? Doing

It appears that Google.com is offering a new layout for some adwords advertising spots on it's search engine. I just noticed this today and below is the screen shot with several new things that I noticed. One, is the "pink" colored background. Not a big change but it is a change from a yellowish color before. The

Sorry for being light on posts yesterday and today but my mother had some complications during a knee surgery yesterday, so it has been a pretty crazy past 24 hrs for me. (Aspiration Pheumonia) is what happened when she was under for the surgery. So anyway, I was browsing domains that are currently on auction at
