I can see a number of these getting picked up - there a few others I'm surprised they accepted the high reserve and can't see selling because of it. What do you think?

I think I’ve only had 3 inquires since the beginning of June. I always find the summer months slower. Anyone else?

Other than a few jumps here and there, my .CAs have been extremely slow in 2019.

My thoughts are that a lot of businesses are tightening their belts (especially small business after Trudeau jacked them hard on taxes) so there's not a lot of time or money left to pursue domain upgrades.

And keep an eye on those tricky 3-character ones like:

sc1.ca
vm1.ca
yy1.ca

The CIRA site font makes the 1's look like l's - SC1.ca caught me for a second.

It wasn’t me on this occasion @MapleDots.

Just went back and it was @Violets where I had the issue and as well as with one other.

NamesPro was sooooooooooo slow on the transfer code.

Come to think of it I have not seen @Violets around lately, I hope he is doing all right.

It depends on when you notice the intrusion, as the hacker just needs access to the email used to create the account in order to disable 2-factor authentication entirely or recover the key - there are instructions online. It's not easy, but never say never, because it has been done.

They can also run all kinds of tricks to keep you out of the system while they run through their intrusion list - that's the worst part, you're trying to get back in, while they're actively trying to keep you out. Like on that link I posted, the guy finally got his new SIM activated, and a few minutes later the hacker has called back his cell provider and had stolen it again.

Hackers may not end up getting anything (as in my case, I caught them early) but due to moron CSRs who will robotically and repeatedly give away your accounts, they can make your life a living hell.

All these safeguards are like a top home alarm system, they're designed to keep away 99% of burglars, but even pro systems won't keep away the top 1% if they're properly motivated. Add in morons at the call desk giving away your accounts and SIM cards like candy and you've got a system ripe for 3rd-world abuse.

My phone is encrypted, I have a long access code, I use two factor, I use an authenticator program, that program is also protected by an access code. I monitor my domains daily in my control panel.

Nobody is getting my domains because even with all that security it is a matter of looking to see the domain count. If it varies by even one then I am on it and the best time to stop fraud is the moment it happens.

Additionally I get emailed with any account change.

Like you said, nothing is 100% but I'm confident I am at about 99.9%

Barely 8,000 .CA domains this week on the TBR, but there are a few interesting LLLs to keep things buzzing.

I like PHARAOH and not much else.

There are a few others that stood out, and some of the LLLs are nicely aged.

But definitely not a premium week by any stretch.

You were actually dead-on with this comment, as there is not another 1-word domain that I would remotely classify as premium.

This is a really sucky week.

DomainRecap · Jul 23, 2019

Damn, I had my fingers crossed that we'd get another .CA on the ccTLD list, but alas...

The ccTLD section begins a bit differently, and none of the top 4 entries use the .DE extension, as whatever.co.uk heads our list at an impressive 16,000 GBP.

The .CA To Be Released / TBR Weekly Picks for July 24 are online:

The .CA numbers were down again this week, and overall quality levels also took a beating, making it extremely difficult to find any premiums outside of a pair of 3-letter domains. For the third week in a row, our Top Picks list is mainly comprised of LLL domains, and this edition includes...

No Catchy Clickbait Title This Week

DomainRecap · Jul 24, 2019

Didn't get anything this week - went for TKA.ca, but MyID got it, went for Pharaoh.ca, but MyID got it. Had a couple that I was thinking of going cheap on but lost track of time - both taken late.

I was right, this was a sucky week.

That is the actual name of the dealership,

and it gets better yet, for email they use...

[email protected]

Now note...... it is not a .ca and it's a very sloppy shortening.

They are actually called

Mercedes-Benz Kitchener-Waterloo

I am just in the process of buying my new Mercedes there.

I know, but it looks like an old 2001 keyword-stuffed, hyphenated monstrosity deep from the bowels of the Internet.

The TBR Results & Steaming Leftovers for July 24 are now online:

This week’s .CA TBR list barely managed to hit 8K domains, and other than a bit of LLL cream at the very top, there was absolutely no depth to warrant a larger number of selections. Of our 4 Top Picks, we managed to place 3 in the Top 9, and all were gone by lucky pick number 13. Some of the notable Top 10 selections included...

Missed that - congrats.

I'm strictly an SUV guy and I don't really feel comfortable with that much money in the driveway, so I settled on a Audio Q7 6-cylinder (Black) and it's a nice concession.

Some interesting reading from strategyonline.ca

"Digital transformation hindered by short-term goals

A global Dentsu survey of CMOs reveals a gap between chief marketers' priorities and their ability to deliver on them.

A new Dentsu Aegis Network survey of global CMOs suggests a significant gap exists between the number of marketers who believe in the importance of digital transformation and the number who have the resources to implement change.

A total of 1,000 CMOs across ten different markets responded to Dentsu’s survey in May. The need to drive transformation through digital is recognized as imperative by 80% of the marketers surveyed, who also believe they should focus more heavily on product and service innovation over the next two or three years.

But the agency network’s survey reveals of number of challenges for chief marketers, namely gaps between what they view as important for the future and their ability to execute on those priorities.

For instance, 85% said they believe creativity is critical to future business success, while only 54% believe they are delivering well today. A similar discrepancy was found between the importance given to customer experience and commerce across channels, with 83% believing it’s important and only 60% believing they are on their way to delivering on that goal.

The largest gap, however, concerns data management and analytics, which 84% of CMOs view as important for future success, but only 49% feel confident in their current capabilities.

One of the obstacles for CMOs appears to be budgetary, as many of the ones surveyed report feeling pressured to deliver on short-term over more long-term results. An “inability to secure long-term investment” was ranked as a top-three concern among half of all CMOs surveyed, outranking both access to talent and “competing boardroom agendas.”

Globally, 41% of respondents predict their budgets will flatline or decline over the next year, even though 64% expect to see revenue growth over the same period. And 64% also said they anticipate coming under further pressure to demonstrate short-term results, with almost half of all CMOs revealing their marketing strategies already only extend to two years or less, “reflecting a business focus on near-term goals,” according to Dentsu."

My takeaway is that the CMO's need to show some kind of substantial return within 2 years of every campaign or dollar spent. Their CEO or Board is evaluating their performance quarter by quarter. That's a lot of pressure.
