So I purchased this one about a year ago for $x,xxx and secured all the other gTLD and few ccTLD's to cover my ass because I thought I had a perfect project to launch on this one… Was really excited and all. Well, it's been a while now and as you can see… There is

When it comes to domain sales, it doesn't matter what the proper wording is… Just try to sell as many of your domains to the buyers that you do deal with one way or another… So, this weekend I had an "end-user" contact me out of the blue in regards to CalgaryTourism.org which was a

I've been meaning to write this kind of a post and address a topic that's been on my mind for like almost 2 years now… Not sure how to do it without hurting some people's feelings and ruffling a few feathers. Probably impossible. Anyways, I've written and re-written it maybe a half dozen times. Shit!

After thousands of affiliate powered sites being launched for hundreds of clients over the past 6 month's or so, we have decided on a price increase come new years. Why? Simple.. So we can focus more on the "serious" clients and provide a more advanced and a superb one-of-a-kind service. We'll be adding some new

Man, this is some pretty cool technology to be used on geo sites but at the same time very scary if it is to be mis-used. Freakin Google and Firefox can now pinpoint the location from wherever you are surfing the net literally by 10 – 15 feet. No GPS required anymore like with mobile

On any given month I get quite a bit of search engine traffic, but November saw a record number via Google and all these people apparently were looking for info about Epik.com and/or Rob Monster. About 80 different keywords brought in boatloads of people.. Here they are in alphabetical order. Some were searched by the

Domaining is very similar to playing the lottery but ultimately the end-result depends on your ability to shop around the domain during a set time frame and hopefully get it sold one way or another. How much? Whatever you can get… The market will set the price. You always hear all this talk about end-users

Here comes a new tax law for online sellers / merchants. Starting in January of 2011, all U.S. payment providers including PayPal will be required by the IRS to report sales information about certain merchants to the IRS.? This new law basically applies only to those receiving $20,000+ and at least 200 payments per year.

Exclusivity in your personal life and business too is a beautiful thing… It all starts with building win-win relationships and trying to shoot for the long-term. Thinking big. Helping and supporting each-other all along the way. None of this comes about overnight, but when it does happen, it is so awesome. One you are there,

Ever since I can remember I have always strongly been against this herding mentality and behavior… The want and need to be different runs in my blood. Sometime for a very good reason, sure, sometime just for the hell of it. I truly hate to be a follower, because I think of myself as a

All the non-sense Andrew at DomainNameWire.com has been posting about Epik as of late is really suspect… Now I've long enjoyed his blog's coverage of the industry and supported it by advertising on there a couple of times even but statements such as "Regardless of where Epik is one, two, and five years down the

It's really simple: Epik has no idea what they are doing when it comes to mass development. As for my own DMD service which was started and kicking ass way before Epik existed… This statement says it all: At DMD we provide "professional solutions at the most affordable prices… 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money

Not sure what more needs to be said anymore, we all know this already, but let me just highlight a quick comment by Scott from SERPs.com: As an SEO I was interested in what EPIK was selling?.so I went to their Epik Developer conference in Seattle. While the people were great, and I had

We are about to learn lots more about "toll free number squatting" so STAY TUNED! Recent FBI and IRS raids are more than just about escorts, porn and domains… "National A-1 owns six "responsible organizations," or "resporgs," which are allowed to purchase toll-free numbers. The six resporgs combined control 1.9 million of the 7.8...

I just learned that the domain Flowers.mobi was re-sold for $6,500 just the other day from it's original owner… OUCH! It was purchased by Rick Schwartz for $200,000 just a few years ago when the .mobi extension was being hyped up as the next big thing because a "mobile" boom was coming… Some said it

About a dozen names total I see being offered for sale such as netlog.co, fotolog.co, metacafe.co, ebaumsworld.co, collegehumor.co, etc. Obviously they are all mostly TM infringements on extremely popular and well established websites / brands…. But whatever, to each his own. So, these group of dozen domains below generated 71,000 type-ins (u...

Firstly, forget Epik.com because it sucks… Simply follow the three steps below and you can be on your way to get your very own Shopping.com/Shopzilla.com powered PPC mega store that is 100% on auto-pilot. 1) Decide whether you want to use Shopping.com (an eBay company) or Shopzilla.com (aka Bizrate) 2) Signup for a publisher account… Wa...

The fella who has owned this domain for the past 5 years is willing to part with it for only thirty grand looks like… It's currently receiving? close to 3,000 unique visitors daily. I kinda like the domain to tell you the truth! It is catchy and has a nice ring to it… Plus all

I received some very interesting comments from my previous post about Epik, which was the inspiration for this follow-up post… So yea, lets see… I could literally come up with like 100? or more reasons not to use the Epik powered PPC portals, but let me just point out some of the most important ones

I can't believe that the hype is still alive and going strong when it comes to Epik product portals which are powered by a 3rd tier PPC shopping feed. The results are less than impressive in the SEO and PPC department if you ask me… By now, I would have thought the whole thing would

If you visit any one of the 400,000 or so domains owned by Frank Schilling's NA Media Inc., you will see a widget box on the right side towards the top pop up from Note.com. The description reads "Note.com is an experiment in social networking. We're not entirely sure where it will go,

Bido couldn't breakthrough and then one day out of nowhere an announcement came that they were shutting down, no surprise here really as it was inevitable… So what is going on with Sahar as of late? The few videos below will give you a clue… Sunrises, shakuhachi, circular breathing, etc. Personally, I think he is

I was a "mass developer" way way back in the day even before I realized I was a domainer too. I was mass developing sites as far back as 2002. Whenever I had the time, I would focus on building out more sites and growing my portfolio… Taking over niches, one spot at a time. I

Flipping domains is a numbers game all the way. I've been doing this for a long long time and what I can tell you all is that the more you try, the more successful you will become at it and the more money you will make. It's all about consistency. Take for example DogCostumes.net which I

Yup, that is right… Network Solutions was sold for 21 billion dollars but not too many remember this fact… Not too many of today's domainers were around back when that happen, but it happened and it was at that time the largest internet purchase in history. Guess who the buyer was? I'll give you a

The ultimate super duper hot buzz word' of the year on the internet for the last 4 or 5 years in a row has been none other than "Social ___" and it's really everywhere you look nowadays. It all started with the popularity of social networking sites in early 2006… Then in 2008 social media

I've been using Amazon both as a consumer and affiliate marketer for the longest… Don't even remember when I started messing around with it first, but it seems like I always have and probably always will… And here is exactly why: As a consumer I love knowing that they have everything and I mean they got

Here comes just a random rant because, man, times have really changed. I remember not so long ago in our lovely space… Domains were mostly being pitched and sold on multiples of generated revenues by their organic traffic (type in's) and in some cases comparable reported sales numbers which meant there was a clear demand

Bringing you second edition featuring lots of rock-stars… Rick Schwartz, Howard Neu, Dan Warner, Ammar Kubba, Ron Jackson and a few more of the usual suspects and floaters Thanks Ron @ DNJournal.com for the great pics from over the years. You rock!

Mike Sullivan did a great interview with the Domain King — Mr. Schwartz! In that interview, it is revealed that Rick registered around 2,000 .CO domains. I was surprised to read this, but then again, not really that surprised once you think about it. Personally, I only bought into a few hundred .CO domains as I

There is going to be lots of talk and attention surrounding the porn industry thanks to the new Movie coming out this weekend called "Middle Men" starring Luke Wilson. I just got my tickets from Fandango and going to take out a bunch of my close friends from the good ol' porn profiteer days… LOL

Over the weekend auction notices came pouring in but after some 10 – 11 days to test out a few hundred hopeful high trafficked hand reg's I was able to get for $25 a pop on July the 20th… I am officially declaring that I am going to have to pass on all the landrush

But you know, it happens to everybody, sooner than later. Rarely anything good lasts too long. This is what has been happening the past few years in the domain industry… Big time. The bigger players, such as registrars and veteran domainers with money up the ass have been squeezing the little guys right out. Crying or

Just the other day a Q2 click fraud report was released by Click Forensics which to no surprise is up and at almost 20%… We're talking about maybe a billion or two billion dollars worth of fraudulent clicks…. Most of the blame lays with domain parking companies. "Now in its fourth year, the Click Forensics reporting

I think it was Frank Schilling who coined the term "pure play domainers" a few years back… Unfortunately there aren't that many pure play domainers AKA full time domain professionals around that are active in the domaining industry. Many have cashed out or gotten involved with various other stuff in the last few years as...

So .CO domain registrations are avail for $25 – $30 a pop as of yesterday… A lot less than what .CM went for when they first became avail. I didn't spend a single dime on .CM domains because they were just too damn expensive at a few hundreds bucks a pop and a very very risky

Yes, it happens sometimes… Google does indeed rank generic keyword .COM domains that are parked. Not all of the domains parked in the world are penalized / banned. Of course these domains only rank for the exact match root keyword. Nothing more, nothing less, since there isn't any content to draw in longtail traffic. But why

Most times people's actions are clear on here… Everybody and I mean everybody taking part of domaining, be it as a buyer, seller or service provider, has an agenda, and they stick with it. But in some cases, I am left scratching my head, thinking… WTF are you doing buddy? LOL. No seriously, it happens

I've observed over the past few month's some of Frank Schilling's domains being monetized via REVnetics which is a service similar to that of Sendori. REVnetics.com seems to be in beta / by invitation only. Maybe Scott Day or Franky can clue us in and have some good news for us all You know,

Some of you may or may not know of Richard Gabriel… He recently sold Call.com for $1.1m, DropShippers.com for $1.5m, Auction.com for $1.7m and two other mega-sales in recent years which have gone unreported: Hgh.com for close to $6m and PlasticSurgeons.com for a cool $18m. Who the hell would drop $18m on a domain that valuates

Holidays and extended weekends… Ahhh These times, my friends, is when you can make 10x and 100x of what you normally earn easily… All in a matter of days.. Yep! Even most people who make their living online take weekends and especially the big holidays off, which means… HUGE OPPORTUNITIES! I already know that

I've been getting a lot of inquiries from existing clients and potential clients as well asking me about the ContentMinisites.com offering… Why is it so cheap, is it any good, etc. Well, I'll just let the following screenshots / results do all of the talking and just summarize things real quick once and for all

Our customized affiliate e-commerce store development service (powered by AWS + AOM) is the best deal on the market today. Not only are the sites we develop extremely affordable at an unheard low

I know clearly who it is, because I have advertised directly on all of the top blogs / sites for many month's in late 2008 and 2009 so I've had direct access to lots of traffic and data which I've analyzed… But do you know who the real traffic king is? Wanna try and guess

Yup, that's right… But wait, he is not the only one. Kevin Ham does too! Between the two of them, they own well over 800,000 top keyword domains, modestly valued at a minimum $500 million today easily and maybe even as high as $1 billion… Depends who you ask So why are they selling

You know, there are literally dozens more of domain forums out there on the WWW aside from DnForum.com and NamePros.com which are dedicated to domaining, ccTLD's, IDN's and various other special interests within the diverse domain industry. We have covered in this list the following countries and over a dozen languages!! UK, India, France, Italy,...
