    sales Ten of the Best Domain Hacks in Active Use

    question Google now lets sites opt out of AI Search. Would you use it on a developed domain?

    I noticed over the past few weeks that the default output on most (>90%) searches in Chrome is being pushed through AI Overviews, even when I didn't opt in the AI Mode. It hogs the entire prime digital estate above the fold, completely burying traditional organic results. But here is the...

    advice Why you should use an A record instead of a NS for Dan landing page, and why you should NOT!

    The moment one sees consolidation of competitors under one umbrella is the time to get out of all of them, as very soon they will increase the cut they want out of a txn. No surprise when commission update emails from Afternic, GoDaddy and DAN landed in our inboxes within days of each other in...

    Do you read ccTLD rules before buying?

    I live in India and I have a few .in domains. I register or buy domain names when I see a persistent vision for business applications. I always have a development vision for them. If I don't have the time or resources, I would certainly like to let other's with more resources, to "acquire" the...

    information Taking A Close Look At Domain Name Appraisals

    Nice analysis for a quick read. Bob, please add a poll on the 7 reasons to seek an appraisal. Maybe add an 8th "other" too for any unforeseen reasons. My why is the 7th point - "I want to know appraisal data that may be in the hands of potential buyers."

    The post seems so real until we reach some typical end users. I am presently developing a regional community website. The client wanted a short name preferably up to 4 letters. Dot-com for the criteria they wanted was parked and for sale at mid $$$$, but 4-letter (VVCC) dot-net and dot-in were...

    Namesilo.com not opening?

    Namesilo still doesn't open in India on any ISP. They seem to be up against some very powerful entity, while holding out for some important entity at their end. The legal issue doesn't look like ending soon. The only option presently is to use a VPN.

    tips My Own Landing Page Makes Me PROUD!

    I would say it's a matter of trust - on both sides. A marketplace is desired (am not saying needed or required) to ensure (again not guarantee) the transaction. Even using Escrow dot com might require quite a bit of educating, unless the buyer was highly motivated. So, if Escrow fee is 5%, a...

    news PayPal is shutting down domestic payments business in India

    Just received an official email from PayPal about the policy update vis-a-vis domestic payments in India. W.e.f. April 1, 2021, INR to INR payments will not be available. Apparently, it was neither competitive nor remunerative for PayPal. Not many people were using it anyway. IMO, some...

    sales Ten of the Best Domain Hacks in Active Use

    The ccTLDs for India ".IN" and ".CO.IN" also have good domain hack possibilities. E.g., bullet.in, bitco.in, bit.co.in, jo.in, tw.in, cab.in, doma.in, barga.in, capta.in, vitam.in etc.

    The page had a security warning, which I bypassed but still the page didn't load for me. However, going by your description it seems like an interstitial page that will not render properly. Most visitors would back off at the security warning though. I use custom landing page generated using...

    strategy Automated Appraisal Tools: Look Beyond The Number

    Thank you Bob for the very insightful article. Automated online domain appraisals are useful to know the probable use cases and metrics. IMHO the value really comes down to how motivated a buyer is and how deep their pockets are.

    BrandPa.com Experience (Brandable Domain Marketplace)

    I discovered Brandpa recently (mid 2023) and listed one name. Then there was an AI makeover I believe, and I rediscovered them in January 2024. The AI generated top three use cases and the summary pitch are really good, especially for generic/keyword names. Most of my CS emails were answered...

    advice How do I stop someone trying to list my domain?

    Sometime back I listed about 10 domains at afternic. Two of them, a 6L com and an 8L com, were declined with reason being already listed in other accounts. Tried resolving the issue through their support but no use. In the meantime they consolidated and increased fees, whereby I simply removed...

    Namesilo.com not opening?

    Namesilo still doesn't resolve in India. This is not related to the .in registry issue as confirmed by Namesilo support. I believe it's a legal issue related to complaints by some petitioners in courts in India about inaction to their C&D requests for domain names they contend are infringing...

    showcase THAT’S ONE “HACK” OF A DOMAIN!

    Not hacks per se but talking of IDNs, I have two very "wealthy" 1L IDN names, if and when, the relevant Indian language keyboards or Google input tools are used popularly. My short name "Sri" means wealth in Indian languages as well as in other cultures in South & Southeast Asia...

    question I bought a one word domain that seems too good to be true.

    You paid $5k on 4/24 and got it refunded on 4/29. So, your $5K was held for five days without any cost to the holder. Cost of funds varies with the transacting parties: Intra-bank (at Federal rates) is about 5%, while B2C (like credit cards) is 30% or more. Not a big deal for you individually...
