Bidding on your own names at NameJet...?

If Namejet actually enforces their own rules and ends this bullshit then names are going to get real cheap, real fast. :) I would love to know how many auctions I got fucked on!

Frank Schilling's brother-in-law makes $35 grand his first year domaining!

So I was reading a post from Morgan Linton today and it got me wondering. If Frank Schilling was my brother in law and I had access to his domainer brain 24 hours a day how much money would I make my first year domaining? How much do you think...

question Is my asking price reasonable?

$4,500 is a hard hit for any small company. Remember this isn't someone seeking out a domain for their business. They are trying to get back a name they lost, and would still have, for only 10 bucks a year. You may lose an easy sale by asking to much for it.

The algorithm is pretty simple to figure out. When searching using "Travel" if the keyword "Travel" is listed in all four spots under the Description, Possible uses, Categories and Keywords then those names get highest priority. The fifth factor is if the actual name has that keyword in it...

sales Brandable Daily Sales Analysis

Any good keyword with any popular animal is worth having. The better the keyword the least popular the animal can be. The least popular the keyword the better the animal has to be. Alliterations like ProfitPanda are gold. Personally I'm in the process of building another portfolio based...

GoDaddy monthly payment plan for aftermarket domains

If Godaddy were to implement a payment plan on domains I believe our sales would go through the roof. Not everyone has a few thousand dollars to spend on a good domain name but they do have a couple hundred bucks to spend monthly. What holds back most domain buyers is upfront cost. They may...

new gtlds New gTLDs are DEAD!! Frank Schilling drops 230,000 new gTLD domains

Anyone with half a thought can go through the new gTLD list and pick out the losers easily. Who would want a .adult when you can have a .xxx? How many companies are there that would use a .auction? How many audio companies are there to warrant a .audio? How many companies can use a .bet...

new gtlds New gTLDs are DEAD!! Frank Schilling drops 230,000 new gTLD domains

The outrageous registration fees of the premium names is what is killing the adoption of these new extensions. Once these fools figure that out then they will prosper and legacy extensions better watch out.

Is that keyword popular or not?

HugeDomains is basically your average domainer on steroids. They have average names like most domainers here on Namepros. Not saying that Namepros members don't have premium names also but you get what I mean. Sometimes to get a good idea if a keyword is popular or not I go to HugeDomains and...

How do you pronounce that brandable?

Many of us here deal with brandables but sometimes we don't always pronounce them the correct way. It would be nice to know what is the correct pronunciation of a name before you register it. Here is a tool that can help with just that. Type in the name and hit pronounce. Great tool for...

discuss Are ALL pronounceable 5 letter domain names worth more than reg fee?

Absolutely not and don't go by what is on BrandBucket lately. They have recently listed some of the worst 5 letter domains I have seen there but they thank you for your 10 bucks. Actually they don't even say thank you. :)

BrandBucket Experience

I spent about an hour going through each and every domain listed as sold in May from DNbolt's website. This is real data from 82 real sales from BrandBucket. They are either a live website, a brand bucket page with no buy it now button, forwarded to another website or a dead page. Normally...

BrandBucket Experience

Most of your two word domains have 10-15 keywords. I didn't see any that had 41. Your portfolio isn't that large so it was easy to go through. Having two words in the domain then your keywords should definitely go up but it's not always the case. The keywords aren't even the same when one...

discuss What does a 1% portfolio turn mean?

Way to many variables to pin down for certain what the exact number is. Take a guy that has 1,000 decent domains and does no marketing, doesn't list them anywhere and has no web presence and waits for someone to email him. Compare that guy to someone who has 1,000 domains of the same quality...
