First off I called because I got an email saying reminder there is a .tv renewal promotion, running til Nov 30,2007 save up to 50 % off.
I think cool, go into my account it is the same $24.95 price I regged them for in the first place. So I call the number in the email Elida Flores, very nice and very helpful person.
She says that is half off, I said no I always pay $24.95. Apparently the price for renewals is going up Dec 1 to like $35. And the $24.95 price for new is only good til DEC 31 2007. Then it going up unless they negotiate pricing.
She said ENOM has sold more .tv in 6 months then Verisign has since they bought the .tv corp combined. (Non Premium)
That renewals for .com run at 58 to 66 % where for .tv they are running at 75 to 80 %.
We discussed revenue on Channel Me and it was along the lines of something we discussed way back about Britney having an extra $20 for the month. She said we are not a traffic company it was meant to be something extra in your stocking. She also said not PPC but CPM, I said that's what I thought but the one thing about staying on the site factors in and she said it is sort of like a hodge podge, she said Google had some involvement bringing the advertisers to the table.
She said they were clear with Verisign about Premium renewals never going up while registered by the registrant.

Interesting line she mentioned Godaddy and the sale was done to try to hurt ENOM as they saw ENOM gaining share with .tv. Another interesting line was that they focus on engineering not marketing. She said we are number 2 and do not spend money on marketing different from Godaddy who is a master marketer. She said they are about engineers giving resellers the tools to be successful.
