My previous site flip post generated a lot of interest and over 1500 views, so I decided to post about another one. While in the previous post I didn't post any details that can help identify the site in respect to the buyer and since the transaction was relatively recent - about a year ago,

"Premium" is the Most Misused and Abused Word by Domainers. Seriously, why would you call your domains premium if you're selling them for $20 each? How can you call JNVY.COM a premium LLLL.com and moreover a quad premium one? The truth is it's really one of those useless words to insert in sales threads. Calling a

Here is a story about one of my web adventures that might be? interesting to my readers. Along with domains I also buy/sell and maintain many websites, some of these are adsense sites with unique content, seo traffic and stable history. I purchased many of these over the years and almost all turned out to

Wishing an easy and efficient? fast and gemar chatimah tovah to all my fellow Jewish domainers (and yes there are quite a few ) on this Yom Kippur eve. For everyone else wondering what is this about feel free to read up here.

I was trying to register DomainMagnate ‘at' gmail.com today and found out it's already registered and belongs to someone else. No one else that I know of uses that username, so the only reason they might have to grab it is probably to try to sell it to me?! I'n just hoping they are not

Having to host dozens of different sites I have many shared hosting accounts, some VPS's and a dedicated server. One of these cheap shared accounts is with fatcow.com and recently I needed to add some redirects to "mask" the long and ugly affiliate urls. I usually do this with a 301 redirect through .htaccess. There are

Up until today I never heard of any .co.za domain sales. Dnjournal had 3 high value sales for the South African tld today: Property.co.za ??? $56,000 ??? Pvt Sale AutoInsurance.co.za ??? $36,500 ??? Pvt Sale Life.co.za ??? $14,536 ??? Pvt Sale These are private sales most likely to end users, so they (like most high value domain sales on

First it was NamePros down for 2 days, now it's DNForum that is down. Hopefully this won't last as long. I have a bunch of pms to reply to and several transactions to complete. What's up with that?

Some domainers seem to think that a logo can make or break a good site. I have news for you - it can not, unless this is a site selling logos, and even then it's not that important. Recently I was building some new sites and needed to get about 20 different logos done. I checked

NamePros.com has been down for the Whole Day today! Anyone has a scoop on what's going on? Is it a DOS attack, a server move, or did they forget to pay the hosting bill?

I started two $60 no reserve auctions today on sedo for these two great 4 letter domains: FOLE.com AKEB.com It's been a while since I auctioned anything on Sedo, especially without a reserve, so it's a bit of a gamble and I'm curious to see how they do. Also I'm running? a Large top 4 letter domains sale going

There seems to be an elevated interest in CCC.com domains? lately from domain resellers and investors, especially the LLN.com and LNN.com types.? However most people still take the 3character.com price guide into account, not realizing how far those values are from the market reality, so I've compiled a list of ALL reported CCC.com domain sales...

.co domains are the undoubtedly biggest story of 2010, while many people are skeptical about them, the auctions are already fetching prices high enough to shame any cctld. Ironically NameCheap.com appears to have the lowest prices for .co domains. The (double) irony is in the fact that despite having the word "cheap" in its name NameCheap...

With all the respect to Zesty for keeping and maintaining the 3 char domains price guide, which has been a valuable resource for domainers for many years, lately it has become quite outdated and some of the price figures in it have little to do with the reality on the market. Here are some examples: LLL.com

This happened with me yesterday. One of the not so nice sides of domaining. In short: a member blue777 was asking for cvcv.com domains to buy and I pmed him a list of my names, including hace.com which is a great cvcv.com domain with many meanings and over 100 million results in google, asking him

If you take a look at sedo auctions at any given time most of the auction listings only have one bid and the vast majority of them also end up with one single bid - the end user who made a bid and the seller decided to push it to auction. When you push a

I started a thread yesterday on the DigitalPoint forums asking for 3 character domains to buy and 2 members already tried to scam me. Surprisingly the way they try to do it is extremely simple - they try to sell you a domain they don't really own and accept payment through Western Union, Bank Wire,

I'm currently subscribed to 5 or 6 domaining newsletters and 4 of them send the emails [almost] periodically. They all go automatically to a special folder in my mailbox, called "newsletters". Currently it has over 400 emails, accumulated in over a year. While there is usually nothing interesting to buy for resellers, or domain flippers...

About a year ago things were quite different and domainers were encouraged to invest by ever rising prices on both short domains and generics and recent buyouts (such as LLLL.com and premium letter LLLL.net's) which proven to be quite worthwhile. Minimum prices for LLLL.com's reached $65 during peak times and there was a healthy supply...

Answers.travel Sold for $3.3 million - it was first reported 2 months ago, but recently sprung a more heated discussion in sight of the depressing economy and the ridiculous amount for an unpopular extension. Naturally this is the biggest (and possibly the only) .travel sale to date. Despite the shocker it appears to be true as

I was just renewing some domains at godaddy and as usually had to do a little research to find the best coupon codes. People like to post large lists of codes, where most are expired, or simply don't work and you have to check each of them to see which saves you the most money.
