Spaceship Spaceship
In this week’s Top Topics, two notable members of the domain community take part in Ask Me Anything features, a domainer wonders why high traffic hasn’t resulted in a domain sale, and Rick Schwartz says the last four weeks have been the slowest ever in the domain industry.


I’m Brad Mugford, Ask Me Anything

Notable domain name investor Brad Mugford has been an active domain investor for more than fifteen years, and during that time, he has sold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of domains.

Here, Brad has taken the time to answer a wide variety of domain investor questions and dispense some wisdom.

I’m Bill Hartzer, Ask Me Anything

A second notable domain industry participant launched an Ask Me Anything discussion. Hartzer, the director of domain name protection brand DNProtect, has invited questions from domain investors on his specialist subject area.

So far, questions are based on Hartzer’s research, algorithm development, and his company’s domain risk scoring system.

Elon Musk Hints at X.com After Twitter Agreement Re-established

Centibillionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has made international headlines over his off-again, on-again agreement to acquire social network Twitter. With the deal seemingly on again, Musk took to Twitter to share some details about his ambitions for the social network.

According to Musk, “buying Twitter is an accelerant to creating X, the everything app.” Musk’s idea for X, the everything app, could be housed at X.com, a domain re-acquired by the Tesla CEO in 2017.

My Domains Have Lots of Traffic, But They Never Sell

A domain investor has noticed that some domains in their portfolio receive consistently high traffic, even when tested across different marketplaces and platforms. However, this traffic hasn’t led to a domain sale.

Is the amount of traffic a good indicator of a domain’s popularity, and if so, can this traffic suggest that a domain is more likely to sell?

Rick Schwartz Says Last 4 Weeks Were Slowest Ever

Legendary domain name investor Rick Schwartz took to Twitter this week to comment on the state of the domain name market. With major economic pressures seemingly affecting everything right now, there are signs that the domain industry has felt the squeeze.

Schwartz, famous for selling domain names such as Porno.com for close to $9 million, commented this week that, based on DNJournal’s charts, he thinks that the past four weeks have been the slowest ever in the domain industry. Do you agree?

My feeling is that domains with lots of backlinks are potentially going to get a lot of bots crawling those backlinks, such that having a lot of backlinks does not necessarily mean anyone is actually visiting the site.

Superb rundown of interesting and important topics. Every one is worth a read. Thank you James.

Really appreciate @bmugford and @bhartzer doing the AMA sessions.

Definitely the top of the market seems on pause from reported sales, and probably the market overall. I think once some promising signs on the war/political front and/or the economic front things will bounce back, but no one really knows when that will be.

Thanks again,

Bob

My personal experience:

Most of the domains I sell receive little, or even very little traffic.

Obviously, a lot of traffic might be a plus when selling a domain, but it's not a crucial.
