Welcome to round #3 of GoMarch where I dig the GoDaddy acquired Marchex domain name portfolio and display 5 domains worthy of consideration.
GoDaddy is very slowly pricing it's $28 Million dollar recent purchase so I am picking from a small portion of the 204K domains, but I have to do it manually because they are pricing in no pattern.
Here we go ...
Welcome to the second round of "GoMarch" in which I highlight 5 domain names a day that were Marchex owned domain names that GoDaddy acquired for $28 Million Dollars and are now selling with Buy Now prices!
The following are some great domain names that have been hard to nearly imposable to acquire in the past but are now being offered for sale in ...

Yes, the all important ...
GoDaddy.com has slowly started Buy Now Pricing some of the domain names they have recently acquired from Marchex in the $28 Million dollar domain portfolio buy.
I am going to post 5 a day in a series I am going to name GoMarch… well, because I want to name the portfolio something instead of referencing to it as the GoDaddy / Marchex portfolio...
eNom has long been suspected of warehousing domain names dating all the way back to 2008 and using AcquireThisName.com to sell them. Several have pointed out (pdf) plenty of things that point to eNom but never really solid proof directly TO eNom, until now.
This morning I ran into the domain name EXX.com which started all my digging. That domain is...
When you have a super cool, new product, it sells itself IMO and this is a product that is going to sell itself! Lily camera is basically a "GoPro" meets drone or as they explain it, the first throw and shoot camera! This camera tracks you!
The company launched the new product on a new gTLD .camera domain @ Lily.camera
It is a perfect fit in this ...

Back on January 7, 2015 I had detected that the generic domain name Gesture.com had sold and some five months later after keeping an eye on the domain to figure out who the buyers were, they have revealed! AuctionsByCellular rebrands to Gesture.com!
AuctionsByCellular works with charities, non-profit organizations, schools, churches, and political...
Today I had noticed that the H.J. Heinz Company is offering the two number premium domain name 57.com for sale.
Digging into whois history records, this isn't "new" because sometime between April 29, 2014 and May 24, 2014 in whois records the terms "This Domain Is For Sale" were added for the Admin Name. But it was new to me now, so I wanted to sha...
NameJet.com has always displayed the amount of pre-order bids "Bidders" on PendingDelete domain names, which has been used by domain name investors as an easy tool to find domains they may have missed otherwise, so they can place a backorder on the domain.
Well, the easy part just got a bit harder. NameJet is no longer showing "bidders" below 4. So...
So lets say your company / website has some wishful thinking..? use the acronym of your company name but as a domain name you do not own as the page title. Case in point, Quality Dairy, owners of the domain name QualityDairy.com not QD.com!
Ever do a search on Google for "QD.com"? I did for you:
Out of nearly 500K results, Quality Dairy ranks #1 f...
TechCrunch just published a story that Microsoft will name its new browser to replace Internet Explorer, currently code named Project Spartan… "Edge" well, really, Microsoft Edge or Edge Browser as many will call it.
Most will simply call it "Edge"
I really thought Microsoft would secure the matching domain name to its new browser but they di...
A little intro: The Coca-Cola Company is in the process of launching an ad campaign that parents are doing good! Since Minute Maid's tag line is: Put good in. Get good out. they are doing an ad push with the hashtag #doingood to let parents know that they are doing good.
So, just being me.. what am I suppose to do when I see the hashtag (I'm good s...
I was looking into a new startup named Headout and noticed they had acquired the domain Headout.com fairly recently and noticed something in whois I haven't seen:?DBS Holding Buyer Unreachable with the email address [email protected] as the registrant.
This told me the startup used GoDaddy.com's Domain Buy Service aka DBS. The domain buy service ...
With the big new of the day that GoDaddy.com has acquired Marchex's domain name portfolio, I wanted to do some digging into what GoDaddy is "likely" getting for the $34.8 Million dollars.
None of this is "official" because I work for neither company and this is fresh news. The details released are generic, and stated "200,000" domain names. Conside...
Brown Shoe Co. who had owned the ultra premium domain name Shoes.com and sold it and its online division in December 2014 for an undisclosed amount to Shoeme is going to rebrand the main company name to Caleres.

From a domain name aspect, the Brown Shoe Company ...
Did you know that DotWeekly offers a domain buy service?
Maybe you did, maybe you didn't and if you didn't, this is why I'm writing about it!
I have been involved in the domain name industry since 2006 and began helping people related to domain names since 2008 when I started DotWeekly. I have learned A LOT in the years since I started and simply h...
GoDaddy.com by far has the largest inventory of domain names of any domain registrar. Some of these domains expire and go to "expired auction" but for some reason, the inventory of expired auctions sucks at GoDaddy compared to other services, like NameJet.
GoDaddy Auctions lacks expired inventory for generic one word domains that are valuable! VCVC...
Startup companies are a very interesting sector to watch and I wish I would write about more of them. I have been watching them more lately than I have in the past so maybe I will write about them more. The startup domain market is pretty odd really!
One thing I have noticed while scouring CrunchBase.com is that A LOT of startups are simply naming ...
Learning by doing is something I love to do. The other day I did a list of nice .us domain names that were freshly listed on Sedo with Buy It Now prices. The article was enjoyed by many and several people purchased domain names directly from my list using the affiliate links provided by me.
Here are some things I learned.
284 outbound clicks were d...

A lot of people have come to love the series as it provides a lot of unique content relating to domain names and what corporations...
Yesterdays big news was that Kraft & Heinz were merging! I had mentioned the new domain registrations for the new company and there is some mystery as to how an individual was able to register KraftHeinz.com and HeinzKraft.com prior to the company registering them! That just likely created a bit of a headache for the new company.. but they will...
I like to post information that is different! Well, here is another unique format that contains a list of expired auctions domain names currently taking place at GoDaddy Auctions, that sold before for at places like Sedo, Afternic, GoDaddy etc. but are now expired! Included is a direct link to the auction and what the domain name sold for before! (...
Here is the last Domain Movers I will be doing on DotWeekly! It's simply an amazing series (I think) but reality is heavily setting in for me! I have been making $1 per hour for my work. It often takes me about 3-6 hours to dig information for these articles every day! It simply takes a lot of time and resources to get the data, provide it etc and ...
This morning I had noticed that CSC Corporate Domains has listed 51, 1 word English dictionary .us domain names for sale, all on Sedo.com. The domains that I checked, all have a buy it now price! Domains like Bold.us has a $500 BIN price tag for an example. Sound.us has a $1,000 BIN. Reward.us (which is a Great hack IMO) $500 BIN.
If you buy any, p...
Assuming something sometimes makes you an ass! Well, that happens to me almost everyday and there is something that I constantly do when looking at a DomainTools.com whois searches. That little "screenshot" of what a website looks like on the right side of the screen, it is deceiving based on the "Last Checked" date.
Every time I see that, I assume...

Brand.com sold in 2013 for a reported $500,000 to brand reputation company ReputationChanger.com but by early March 2015 the website went down and the offices for the company became empty.

Apple Inc. isn't a huge domain name buyer for the size of company they are. They rarely register domains matching products and services announced in the fashion that companies like Amazon does. They do register some and also acquired already owned domains like iPhone.com and iCloud.com for an example and most of the time when they do acquire domain...
It isn't often you run across 2 letter .com domain names for sale, mainly because there is only 676 of them, but especially when they are owned by large corporations like Chrysler Group LLC.
Chrysler has used the domain name CF.com for Chrysler Financial in the past and appear to have acquired the domain when it was listed for sale in 2006 by Conso...

Hard work is something that I feel I do a lot. This means doing more than what most others do! Putting in countless hours of digging domain names and going the extra mile.
Well, Gary Shane Warne is another hard worker. A domain name investor from the early days, starting in 1991, Shane as he goes by has had his share of domain names he has owned bu...
I'd like to start writing some stuff than my domain movers series but that series takes up the vast majority of my time, so I fail to have the energy to write other stuff… and I would love to write all day really but it is what it is. So anyway, here are some random things that I'm thinking and I hope some of my thoughts will help you in some...

A little bit of a special addition of domain movers on this Sunday evening. Weekends are a bit slower for domain movers by large companies. All my data is obtained "the day after" it actually happens due to the vast amount of data that needs to be obtained, so I am seeing "Saturday" movements today for an example. Monday's are really slow, as not m...

In 2013 when the domain was owned by Mike yet,...
