The FUTURE of Domain Name Brokers and The Long Tail

that sounds good as long as it's being done with the domain owners permission, and as long as the domains are being promoted to end users properly (to avoid mass emails and spamming). Perhaps you need to have a training course for those who want to become brokers. IMO

discuss Are newbies increasing the competition?

In my opinion Newbies are helping to make the domain Industry bigger and can give more credibility to domaining if they act responsibly both when it comes to handling their finance and domaining strategies so that they don't come across as people who are addicted to this hobby and can't control...

tips Tips on How to Hand Register Good Domains

About a year ago I heard about the new Roll Up TV made by LG , although Roll Up TV .com was already taken, but I thought with myself that if there was a Roll Up TV that there would also going to be a Roll Down TV soon and so I registered the domain RollDownTV.com (using a $1.00 Network solution...

My question to Godaddy's CEO at NamesCon: Domain Liquidity for the industry

@Ategy , you bring up many good points, but we should not forget that the whole idea of this loan program is to empower domainers who might be struggling with their renewals or who might be missing out on some acquisition opportunities and it's not meant to empower some rich domainers to be...

My question to Godaddy's CEO at NamesCon: Domain Liquidity for the industry

So this might work for a domainer who is well disciplined that might happen to be low on cash at renewal time, but it most likely will get everyone else who might use the loan unwisely into more trouble and debt. So one way to make this work (in the case of renewals) is to not to directly give...

My question to Godaddy's CEO at NamesCon: Domain Liquidity for the industry

How can domain loans be off topic when we are talking about empowerment here, and why should you allow yourself to be the judge and jury here by asking for a conversation that many people are participating in and are finding useful to be closed. And even if you are right about the thread being...

question Would you register an available dictionary dot com? Even if a little obscure?

Keep in mind that not all obscure dictionary words are at the same level, some might have been overlooked by others or perhaps just came up to be available on the drops, but some might be so obscure and awkward that no one wanted to register them in the past 30 years (of course if it's a new...

I appreciate all the hard work that you all do to keep the forum going, and in a way I understand why you might need to use anonymous usernames, as long as we all know that it's you guys behind the anonymous usernames I guess we'll be happy. ;) IMO

Discuss your Epik Experience!

Just a suggestion: It would be nice to have an option for 'Date Added' in addition to the 'Created' , 'Renew By' , and 'Expires'. That way we can sort the domains by the date that they were imported to Epik so that we can work on the most recent domains that need to be organized or optimized. IMO

advice Crossroad

If the company you work for has a geo specific domain then perhaps that's what they prefer to have in the first place. Does your boss know that you are a domainer if so maybe you can just offer the domain to him for free just to get on his good side, if your boss knows that you care so much...

question Why are hundreds of thousands of Quality Domain's not sold?

I believe that there has to be an effort on both sides that is both by domainers and the end users to behave more professionally and become more informed so that the end results can benefit everyone. It doesn't help that some end users think that just because the domain name that they are...

poll Do you become more cynical the longer you are involved with domaining?

Bob you are too nice to be cynical, but then there might be some situations that we have to be a little cynical like the example of .org that I had rightfully used here earlier. The important thing is not to be cynical all the times. IMO
