    Hi from Vivi! New to domaining

    Hi, I'm Vivi, new to domaining but with a background in blogging and site management. What brought me here to NamePros is that I seem to wind up with extra domain names, from blogs that I registered the domain name for but got too busy to pursue. I used to just let these domains lapse. However...

    question Hand-reg vs name drop - Is name drop necessarily better?

    I've read some threads here mentioning hand-regs vs name drop, and many of these suggest that expiring names are more valuable than hand reg. But on the other hand, wouldn't it be fair to say that all a name drop means is that at least one person liked the name? Which is not necessarily a big...

    status-resolved What Forum Software Does namePros Use?

    Thanks @accelerator for asking the question, and to @Paul Buonopane for the full answer. I was wondering the same question myself, so I searched for this in the search box and arrived here. My top favorite features of the NamePros site are (in no particular order) shown below. I wasn't sure...

    If you could create your own nGTLD...

    Whoops, and thanks @AMRO1001 for this info. I only checked existing TLD's, I didn't think to check the icann wiki that you mentioned. Thank you for the info! Plus, that's a useful link for me to have about other registries out there that are not live yet.

    domains Here’s the ultra-clever way that Chinese are circumventing capital controls with domain names

    This is a very interesting topic you've brought up, @Avtar629 . I liked the points brought up by @stub . I recently read an article on this topic from the Domain Animal website where he gives a balanced look and careful commentary on the original article you mentioned from Sovereignman. One of...

    End Users Not Buying Domains Even When It's Obvious They Should

    I'm fairly new to domaining but I've had many years of experience in developing domains for different reasons, including for business purposes. I just wanted to throw in another angle to this. Let's pose the question: If the end user's competitor (or another third party) were to buy your...

    question Hand-reg vs name drop - Is name drop necessarily better?

    A huge thank you to @serryjw @Kate @eckhardt @cmdomains @frank-germany @1NiteStand for your input. I found the range of points brought up to be very thought-provoking and intriguing. I especially liked what @Kate pointed out about quality of portfolio being of more relevance than quantity, and...

    question Hand-reg vs name drop - Is name drop necessarily better?

    Thanks to @1NiteStand for the pointer on new TLD's vs .com's in regards to hand-reg vs namedrops. Thanks also for the point on taking into consideration the level inbound traffic on a namedrop - the traffic is something I hadn't previously considered and it's a valuable point. @eckhardt -...

    question How do I know if my domain name is brandable?

    I know this seems like a really basic question, but I still don't have a good feel for what constitutes a brandable domain name. I'm getting ready to sell one of my domain names, but I don't want to call it brandable if it's not, or vice versa. What are some ways that I can figure out if my...

    question When a domain has a $0 Estibot value...

    Thanks, Nerevar. Concise, helpful, answered the question to the point. I really appreciate this... I'm definitely a beginner. I will probably then work on developing it more before auctioning it off. I realize I may never get my time back in terms of $ at sale, but maybe I can make a little...

    An intro to domain name investing

    A HUGE thank-you Reece! Your intro to domaining has helped me immensely. I used Estibot to check 2 of my domains - one that I was wanting to sell, and my serious blog one for comparison even though I'm not planning on selling it. I didn't get hung up on the actual amounts, like you mentioned...

    Reliable stats?

    Wow, I see from what @Omar Negron and @Kate wrote that defining a unique visitor is not necessarily as straightforward as it first seems! I can see the issues here. To answer this, as far as I understand, Google Analytics counts unique IP's over whatever selected time period you ask it to look...

    Reliable stats?

    Hi there, I use Google Analytics and I 100% agree with you that there is an issue with bot visits being counted and giving you a larger number than what is really happening. This is how I manage to count 'real' visitors using Google Analytics. It's a little clunky but it works: 1. When you're...

    question Question about responding to a Domain Request thread in NamePros MarketPlace

    Oh, right, thanks @Nerevar . I listed it on GoDaddy for what I thought was cheap bargain-type pricing (yes I know that's a whole other question in itself). So I guess I thought it was priced toward resellers, but you've brought up a great point, which is that the requester might PERCEIVE my...

    question Question about responding to a Domain Request thread in NamePros MarketPlace

    Thanks, @ulterios . I hope there is some interest from the requester but there might not be. :| I guess I'll just have to wait and see (I sent the PM after seeing what you and @SpareDomains had to say).

    question In the case of a gTLD where the gTLD is a keyword...

    Thanks @Willox Perez for adding to this thread. I had originally leaned toward the gTLD version being more valuable, but from what you and @salm81 are saying, the .com has maybe more power right now since like you said Willox, people might be confused and go to the .com In between starting this...
