So a couple days ago I wrote a post about Covid names and how people feel about those who register them. The conversation got a tad nasty on both sides. So now DAN.com (an advertiser here) tweeted today they are removing Coronavirus/Covid-19 from their platform. Starting from today, we will be removing all Corona Virus […]

Will people selling covid/coronavirus names affect your opinion of them?
So with everything going on in the world with the Covid-19 pandemic, it seems some want to dabble in pandemic related names. I woke up this morning to an email asking me if I had a list of namepros members selling covid names? When I replied I don’t, why? The person said they were looking […]
Continue ReadingFlipping websites using aged domain names
NichePursuits.com and Spencer Haws hosted Richard Patey on their latest podcast. Patey discussed buying and selling websites and using aged domains.

Continue ReadingWhich is worse the name or the shame?
So I have not been reading much within the industry over the last couple weeks. I see headlines on Domaining.com and use that as a point of reference.

Continue ReadingWill Booking.com case potentially change the web as we know it?
I wrote a couple weeks back about the ICA and Booking.com.

From the […]

Another wild week in the online drama that is Namepros. The constant pro Epik members battling anti Epik members continues to drag on.

Continue ReadingDomainer or Domain Investor or Basement Dweller?
There is a thread on Namepros where a member wanted opinions on Domainer vs Domain Investor. Was their a difference? Should there be a difference. Brad Mugford gave a good answer in my opinion. I think most people tend to use the terms interchangeably, but I would consider a “domain investor” to be a slightly […]

Elliot Silver mentioned yesterday that Future Media Architects will now have it’s domain names brokered by Saw.com. One of the domain names FMA owns is Cool.com. 20 years ago Cool.com had a lot going on and a potential $38 million deal that was never accepted. ZDNet covered the story. Tim Lee hand registered the name […]
Continue ReadingDomainer Trap – when bad domain names sell
Bad Names Do bad names selling for good money trap a lot of domain investors? I think it does, that along with not everyone having the proper perspective on a sale. Domain investors that don’t know the whole story on a name like Gambling-law-us.com selling for $57,000, see it as a joke. Domainers who don’t […]
