Will you stop watching sportscenter, going to NFL games and taking Viagra ?
The tech world and the domain industry were all going crazy and staging a boycott of GoDaddy because of their support of SOPA. Go Daddy changed its position and no longer supports SOPA with an estimated 74,000 domains transferring out. GoDaddy is not the only company supporting SOPA. Espn the worldwide leader in sports, supports […]
Continue ReadingGo Daddy needs to better explain their valuations
Written by RH I am a big fan of Go Daddy auctions so this is not a smear piece. When you go to Go Daddy auctions certain auctions have a valuation number. Seasoned domain investors know not to trust this number completely. New domain investors may not and that is where I think Go Daddy […]
Continue ReadingSo what do the other 99,500 do ?
The story that got the most attention this week in domaining was the guest blog by Flippa rep Andrew Knibbe on JohnChow.com. In the comment section Rick Schwartz left an excellent comment that follows: "btw, you should just fix the title and then it would be accurate. Let me help you. "Pigeon Shit Domains are […]
Continue ReadingStick to what you know
Too many times in the domain world people start regging domains that had no interest to them when they started out. They fall into what I call "domainers trap," meaning they start reading blogs,sales reports and forum posts and start regging domains where they have no interest or expertise. Now it is not bad to […]

Written by: RH The search of Twitter handles becomes almost as crazy as the search for domains. Twitter names you would think are available to get are taken as frequently as domains you would think are free to register. I am not talking about top keywords or geo names. There are so many people that […]
Continue ReadingThere is just something about an expired domain
It certainly seems that many average domains sell for bigger amounts when they are an expired domain. You can look at Go Daddy and see expired domains sell for prices that you would never see if being shopped by the owner. Even with quality names things are funny. EAM.com is currently on auction at Go […]
Continue ReadingIt all comes down to new versus old
Written by: RH It all comes down to new and old. I had a woman I have known for years tell me that her boyfriend of three years cheated on her. She told me that the woman was nowhere near as pretty as she was, and that she was not being arrogant. She was getting […]
Continue ReadingYou never know what’s going to sell and for what price
When I read that Republic.com sells for $200,000 or SilverCoins.com for $100,000, I understand. I get it. But you never know what is going to sell and some will boggle the mind and make every domainer with better names sit and wonder. Recent sales that fall into that category for me include: CheapFlightToSydney.com $2500 Sedo […]
Continue ReadingShould domain blogs publish full Whois info for a story
There seems to be a bit of a debate about a post that took place on DomainShane.com. In the post Chris Woodward spoke a little about Facebook and tm squatting. I agreed with the post and think its foolish for anyone blatantly regging tm names. The second point being, you need to know who you […]
