GoDaddy Closeouts? What is it?!
Names that are registered with Godaddy and left to expire are summarily taken over by Godaddy and sold via an aftermarket process, with the presumption that the registrant 'doesn't want it anymore'. First, an auction process starting with a minimum bid of $10. If the name receives no bids, then...- Points: 5

.org The .ORG Thread
I don't own any .orgs that I intend to sell. I am a .org buyer and a .org developer. My best .orgs are some pure geos of cities. I've shared my opinion on .org many times. .com is virtually always the best decision, however, .org is a TLD that 'makes sense' and occupies a permanent space in...- Points: 5

.info .ORG or .INFO ?
I have an opinion on that. Your statement is so far away from being 'correct' that the light from 'correct' would take a billion years just to reach wherever the hell that statement is.- Points: 2

The "i" Domains Thread
Develop or die. 99% of them have little to no resale value (at this time) and they don't earn parked. I will say that of all the 'different types' of names out there, I've never encountered a wider disparity between asking prices and reality than I have with iGeos. "Domainers" seem to think...- Points: 2

Selling Ferarris in the Ghetto
This isn't entirely accurate. Domainers (the ones who actively buy with the express intent to resell) are arbitraging against a perfectly reasonable and understandable knowledge gap that exists between people who do this all day, every day and people who are more concerned with minding the...- Points: 2

Selling Ferarris in the Ghetto
This is kind of a rant, because someone got needlessly hosed for five figures...Classic example of how much impact targeted exposure makes when selling *anything* very rare/unique and extremely desirable (a domain name, art, a $100,000 bottle of wine, whatever) Back in May, someone stumbled...- Points: 2

Domainaholic problem: I want more and then more, I want it all
Basic precepts of capital efficiency pretty much dictate that pointless, irrelevant LLL.com's are almost never the correct decision from an investment standpoint (save for a real freak-of-nature scenario, like encountering one that's so drastically under priced, profiting from it isn't much more...- Points: 2

Enduser email
Absolutely. I was addressing pro-active contacting of end-users, piquing their interest then saying "make an offer" when it comes down to crunch time. That is a terrible, terrible strategy, rooted in the sort of "hope for a sucker" greed that is unprofitable. If someone contacts me, they name...- Points: 2

Web could run out of addresses next year, warn web experts
Story behind the screen name.... Some time ago, a friend of mine bought a website, recognizing the potential it had. The developer/owner was a dumb kid who had accidentally stumbled into something great, but didn't have any clue how to mange it, so he listed it for sale and my friend bought it...- Points: 2

domain What is better - Whiskey or Best Whiskey? :)
Domains are like diamonds... One microscopic 'flaw' can change the value dramatically. I do think "bestwhiskey.com" has some value, but I wouldn't begin to think it's anywhere contingent on or connected to what Whiskey.com sold for. Pure, one-word category killers like that bring those...- Points: 2

domain ValveCoverGasket (com)
This an instance where it being a "three worder" is totally irrelevant, since the most succinct, clear term for the topic in question is.... drumroll.... three words. It can't be 'shortened' any further and still have the same meaning, thus, it's length isn't an issue.- Points: 2

Online shop requests to remove negative feedback
Google information on "Ripoff Report", which is pretty much the nuclear option of getting ripped off online, since a ROR ranks almost immediate and usually, freakishly high. Needless to say, they've pissed off A LOT of people- some with money to burn. It's all test case territory. The short of...- Points: 1

.tv Has the .tv market peaked?
I think it's pretty damn hard to tell.
