February 24, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

One thing I get all the time in emails and sometimes in phone calls, is outrage that a domain name sale was announced and that domain name is not developed. This is kind of what brought about the Offthehandle/Kate Buckley debacle. (Offthehandle has not been heard from since he was doxxed on Twitter). Over the […]

“Congratulations you were alive in the 90’s how much brain power did it take to reg sex.com or porn.com?”

February 7, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 18 Comments

Domain investing is a wacky world I had a funny email come in from someone who I take it was not born in the 90’s and is disgruntled. It falls in line with some other reader emails over the past few months. “Congratulations you were alive in the 90’s how much brain power did it […]

January 23, 2021 by Raymond Hackney 5 Comments

Squadhelp published an interesting little article about ten days ago. The article centered around one simple question, What’s one insight that has led you to become a better domainer? It was asked on Twitter and they published several of the responses. I especially like the reply from @TonyNames. It’s something I have echoed for many […]

That old domain with all the backlinks might have a legacy domain penalty

December 29, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 2 Comments

Over the past couple years we have seen a greater interest in buying old domain names for their SEO/Authority value. I had a friend mention to me over the weekend that he bought a name for that very reason, that just can’t seem to rank. I mentioned to him an article I read a few […]

December 24, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 10 Comments

Anyone who uses Twitter in 2020 has noticed an uptick in warnings added to tweets. Especially if you are involved in the political arena. These flags or warnings added to tweets have even turned into a meme, with many brands poking fun at themselves or the competition. Well it’s not just limited to politicians and […]

$90,000 and five years later and not even a nameserver update

December 11, 2020 by Raymond Hackney Leave a Comment

Five years ago Elliot Silver broke news on a .money domain name that sold for $90,000. The seller once walked away from The Apprentice UK TV Show 5 years later and the domain name has not even updated the nameservers. Transfer.money is the name and it’s a perfect keyword combination in my opinion. The seller […]

$10,000 domain name sale for a handreg with no favorable metrics

November 27, 2020 by Raymond Hackney 3 Comments

A long time member of Namepros and someone who I interacted with frequently in the .tv sub forum, Fleaking, announced a $10,000 sale. For $10,000 USD via Sedo, so happy with it because it is the longest domain(18 characters) and also a highest hand-regged name that I’ve ever sold, most importantly… it has 0 other […]
