With the new GDPR now in full force, WHOIS is now difficult to monitor. Thanks to DomainIQ, we are still able to view historical information, but discovering new data is a little more difficult. Unfortunately, this lack of information may affect our popular Detected Domains series in which we monitor the sales and acquisitions of successful investors.
Here are this week's Top Topics.
My New gTLD Advice
Many domainers opt to invest in new domain extensions (new gTLD's) and some do well with them, producing enough sales to call it a successful venture. For some, new extensions can be more problematic.

After getting into domaining just eleven months ago, this investor has started to make regular sales and now averages one sale per week.

For some investors, outbound sales are vital to produce constant cash flow. Sometimes, outbound sales can be less than fruitful. This can be down to the quality of the name or the lack of interest from your targeted potential buyers.

How Were Your First Six Months?
We have just entered June, which means we are halfway through the year. At this juncture, it's an excellent opportunity to evaluate your first six months of the year to see how you can possibly improve from now until December.
Responses so far are mixed with some having their most profitable period ever whilst others have experienced very few sales. How were your first six months of 2018?

How Do You Justify the Price of Premium Domains?
Premium domain names routinely sell for five, six or seven-figure fees, it can be difficult to figure out why someone would pay such a fee for a domain.
This new investor has asked why premium domains sell for such fees when these domains don't necessarily rank highly in search engines. How would you respond to this?
