advice The truth hurts. Let it. Learn from it. Grow.

Keep in mind that the internet is always changing. What worked yesterday may not work tomorrow. The domain world is huge. No one really knows how many "boxes" there are or what the rules are inside each one. So while "old timers" have learned a lot, that doesn't mean a newcomer can't find their...

Wondering how many of the Domainers here have kids?

Three kids, but then they went out and had nine of their own. So I find my introverted self hiding out from the chaos at family gatherings :)

What domains are your currently investing in?

I really like building informational sites so I am a sucker for dot info. With so many spending all their time and money on Chips, nnn........ etc, which I don't understand or find interesting, I have been finding a lot that look attractive to me.

discuss You thought 2015 was crazy? ...Get ready for 2016

There is an old stock market saying which I think applies to the domain market right now. "The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent." Interesting times for sure.

International law firm claiming my domain name, but they are wrong

My understanding is that based on "Anything you say can and will be used against you." it would be better not to reply until you actually receive some kind of document from an authority with jurisdiction. It seems like you just gave them a lot of information such as email address verification...

Once I could see there weren't any names I absolutely had to have, I decided to make game of picking domains I thought would go first. From what I see taken so far, my ideas are as unpopular as usual :) Its a fun game and maybe I will eventually get a feel for what makes a domain popular.

My lottery pick of the day was Econographs.com. There is a wealth of important economic data available these days but the charts & graphs tend to be really hard to understand and appreciate. I think this could be a service business for someone who understands the economics and has the ability to...

It's so easy to see potential and so hard to actually do the work :( Fortunately, I am not trying to pay the rent with domain sales. I have hopes that with some of the drag & drop editors that have become available I will be able to build more sites in spite of my weak coding skills. I'm...

Question about trademarks for people with experience with these issues

The biggest problem I see has nothing to do with legal issues. The plan you propose will keep you focused on this negative experience for years. It will soak up tons of time and energy better spent on work that creates joy and enthusiasm.

debate When are domainers/businesses going to recognise the value of these keyword perfect domains?

I think general awareness changes will come much more slowly than you believe. How many people know that domain names are not case sensitive and capitalization could be used for improved readability? I suspect there is also some trademark/wordmark liability exposure for many of them. When...

Since I didn't see any I couldn't live without I decided to see if my value detection skills have improved. I found these six domains that I thought should be snapped up quickly. Note that my time is two hours behind Bill and the values shown reflect that. BacklinkCreator Avail 4:45 Taken 5:45...

I considered Author Magic. It would work for a service that helps writers build their author platform. These days writers are told they need to already have a following to get a book deal with a major publisher.

Wondering how many of the Domainers here have kids?

Actually, I don't think anyone can. Its a good thing the haze and mental fog of sleep deprivation mean parents can't really remember it either or there would be lots more only one child families. :)

domains Who bought tens of thousands of 4l CHIPS in .club? See who!

I have the feeling many of the new people playing the domain game, even those spending 100K or more, are really just fooling around with pocket change. If you crashed your Ferarri and daddy won't let you buy a new one, what are you going to do for entertainment. Compared to high stakes gambling...

new gtlds Day 1 of the implosion N.gTLDs. Stop renewing

When you live and breath domains it is easy to think regular people actually notice or care about them. Some do, of course, but I doubt most people running searches, for example, ever notice the extension(s) they visit. A couple examples to illustrate my point. I do some work for a guy who...

tips Tips and tricks for Auctions on NamePros?

As a frequent buyer in these auctions here are a few things I have noticed. 1. NP has the most global readership of any forum I visit. An listing time you select will be optimal for some and not for others. 2. I always check to see how long the seller has been a NP member. I will risk $10-15...

.info .Info is degrading in value

Dot info was great back in the days when mini sites with AdSense were a great way to profit. Those days are over and the excitement from the new extensions has investors making other choices. I think informational sites still have potential as lead generators. So I have been able to pick up a...

Hi again, You always have excellent taste in domain names :) I took Buildsville. It will go nicely with some of my plans to write about the new breed of page building software which I think is shaking up the web development industry. It seems to me the page builders let you make really complex...

Took Stuffed Sausages. Articles about healthy eating dominate the news so it was a shock to do a search and see what people wrap in and around a sausage that is already loaded with calories. Fun Reading Games. One more, probably doomed attempt, to nudge an insecure librarian friend into...
