I totally agree. I'll try to summarize a bit more synthetically a) Learn how to estimate correctly the value (selling price) of a domain Read, Read and read again will help, but read what ? Let's be honest: there is a lot of noise and non productive suggestions on NP and other forums. I have...

New guy here!

I am afraid the value of your two domains is not that great. There are 2 sites where you can find past transactions: namebio.com and shortnames.com (there may be others BTW, but I don't know them) Check for yourself here: shortnames.com/cccc/sales, Pure LLLL domains have a good demand, but not...

information Google says keywords in the TLD part of your URL are ignored for ranking purposes

Interesting information, but I have two reservations a) Google has a long history of not being totally trustful. May be they don't directly lie, but they trucate information or presnt it in a misleading way b) There might be 'side effects' For example, a recent study tends to show that there...

Hello Everybody - My first post...

Indeed, if you use the normal paypal payment, an indelicate buyer may fill a cash back request within 60 days, and you will loose your case ( if there is no shipping document, paypal absolutely does not care).

advice How do you market and sell your BB rejected domains?

A very interesting question that still puzzles me. Forgeting for a while exclusivity concerns, it would make sense to offer BB-type domains on multiple platforms. In other words, BB is a market place like many others. They certainly have some specific traffic of interest, but they list so many...

new gtlds New startup advertises their newgTLD .LIFE domain on TV commercial

Those new gtld extensions are a mystery for me too. Will they pick-up or not ? One big problem I see is that the registration price is not regulated and may change with no or minimal notice. An other problem is: will consumers use them when searching the web. Personally, I would visit such...

tips Five myths about domaining that prevent you from selling more names

I think it's true. If a domain has not been spotted by domainers in auctions/prerelease/dropcatch/expired or whatever, it is very likely it will be stay unregistered for a long period. It is specially true for brandable. I've also found it's not difficult to find an unregistered name for a new...

question Buying my first domain

I think it does matter because you are in an emotional situation. You should ask yourself this question: can I benefit more from a $2000 name to my business (that adds, credibility, memorability, branding or whatever) than invest in something else (new computer or whatever). Also, isn't...

question How much time do YOU spend on NamePros?

30 minutes which I feel is still too much. Most of the time is spent in going though post titles on one side, waiting for pages to load on the other side. I wish there were better pre-filters/search-system to be able to focus more on things that interest me. NP is globally extremely slow. Not...

discuss Pronounceability (Does it pass the radio test?)

Radiotest, pronounceability, memorability... are not a guarantee of sellability. For me, they are just indicators, among others, to detect if a domain is worth or not more investigation. For now, if I had to choose between Radiotest and pronounceable, I'd choose radiotest. But I am sure we...

discuss Pronounceability (Does it pass the radio test?)

@carob If I understand well, you suggest 2 criteria for passing 'easily' the radio test: - no alternative spellings for each syllabs/subsets of letters - memorable For now, I can't think of a way to measure memorability (afterall: ImproveYourCreditRatingNow.com is memorable) It also...

tips Five myths about domaining that prevent you from selling more names

It's true. Domain age does not really matter, but I found age is a very good indicator to pre-select a domain for further inspection.
