Direct Navigation Returns! Do You Want Your Address Bar Back?

June 24, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 1 Comment

Many of you recall those heady days when Mozilla entered our lives and empowered us with the freedom to directly navigate the Internet.  Prior to Mozilla, we were confined within the walled gardens of AOL, Prodigy and CompuServe.

June 21, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 16 Comments

So I had a reader ask me my opinion on a recent back and forth they had with a potential buyer. I was not really sure where my opinion would factor in as this was about his deeply rooted political feelings. I did ask if I could share the back and forth here on the […]

A Hand Reg Home Run and Why You Need Patience

May 29, 2016 by Raymond Hackney 12 Comments

This week on Sedo the domain name InformationOfThings.com sold for $4,500. This domain was hand registered in October of 2015 and sold on May 18, 2016. Pretty crazy ROI on that one. This was a smart hand registration IMO, a cheap speculative play with the potential for a big payout. Playing off the hoopla around […]

Who Says You Have To Pay A Fortune For A Great Brand?

May 20, 2016 by Raymond Hackney Leave a Comment

There are a great many people who believe that all of the great domain names are taken and that their owners won’t part with them for less than a small fortune. They are correct, but not entirely so. Category defining, one word dot-coms do have great intrinsic value…. as do two and three-letter acronym dot-coms. There […]

May 5, 2016 by Alvin Brown Leave a Comment

Last year China introduced the world to bulk trading of domain names. The traditional approach is for investors to buy one or two good quality domain names at a time, and then wait for end user companies to buy the domain names in order to develop websites.
