Very Few Bids So Far In the Moniker Ext. Auction
Thankfully my domain SSSA .com is one of them. It is unbelievable that only 10 domains have a bid in the Moniker Extended Auction. One one hand its disappointing to see such lack of interest. On the other hand, my domain is getting a lot of extra attention because it is one of only two [...]
Ben Huh and the ICanHazCheezburger Approach
Everyone knows of Icanhazcheezeburger.com and failblog.org. What many people don’t know is that Ben Huh the face of these sites and the Pet Holdings Inc, is not the founder . He bought them. He loved the sites and got funding to buy them. After the purchase, he has since used the traffic to build 20+ [...]
Reflections on My First Rick Latona/Traffic Auction
I no longer a Rick Latona/Traffic auction virgin anymore. No, I wasn’t able to go to the auction in person (I am going next year) but I sat through the entire thing and here is my look at it from the viewpoint of a medium sized domainer (portfolio 50-100K)
1. There were some really good flips [...]
Defendants Were Engaged in a Willful and Elaborate Cybersquatting and PPC Advertising Scheme
This was a quote that irked me from the AAA.net lawsuit press release put out by the American Automobile Association I just ran across. It’s an all too familiar story lately in the domain world. Three letter domain is parked and a company sharing the acronym tries to take the name. The American Automobile Association [...]
A Little Fun and Games With a Slight Change of a Domain

For example
The Bad Habits We Have While Sitting In Front of the Computer For Hours
We all do it. Sit in front of the computer for hours on end. Staring, typing, reading. To be a good domainer, it takes a lot of screen time to do research or communicate. To offset the lack of physical movement I run 7-10 miles a day and swim 3-5 times a week so I [...]
Watching My Domain Stats Reminds Me of Lemonade Stand
My daughter asked why I don’t play video games much any more and I thought to myself, “Have I just gotten old?”. ”Am I tired of getting beat by a 5 year old?”. ”Am I just too busy?”. I realized the answer is none of the above. Yes, I do think I can find better [...]
An Interesting Look Into What Was Registered Yesterday
I get a kick out of of looking at domains that are registered each day. I use domain-daily.com (not my site) to peruse domains that are registered each day (may be a few days off) to see if there may be a new product, movie, or something unusual that was recently registered. Of course there [...]
There’s Been a Noticeable Lack of CVCV.com Changing Hands
Comments OffOne of my favorite type of domain names are CVCV.coms and CVCCV.coms. The last three years I was acquiring as many of these as I could afford but then the rest of the world fell in love with LLLL.coms and prices skyrocketed. I didn’t sell any of my acquisitions thinking that these were the gems [...]
Want to Monetize? Don’t create a Minisite, Create a Network
Minisite this, minisite that. It doesn’t take a seasoned veteran to realize that content is king and always has been. Put a little content, make a little money. That’s the hopes and the dreams of everyone who own thousands of domain, hoping to make a little on each one by parking or creating a glorified [...]
