Friday’s Daily Dropping Domains and Auctions
As I read the results of the DomainFest Moniker auction I was amazed at the number of sales. I felt I needed to eat my words with all those incredible sales. I didn’t think hardly anything would sell. I was also happy to see that many of the sellers had accepted lower bids than the [...]
Credit Card Processing Fees: Don’t Overlook This Cost: It Could Cost You Thousands
In the domaining world we get caught up in the strength of the domain, the look and feel of the website, and the number of visitors. In the business world we are concerned with only two things, revenue and costs. If you keep it simple there are only two things to worry about in your [...]
A Very Relaxing Week and a Few Thoughts
I didn’t write very much this week on purpose. My body and my mind needed a break. I did a little running, a lot of sleeping, and a lot of reading. I read more domaining articles than I usually do. I read some blogs I normally don’t read, only because I only have so much [...]
$200,000 On a National Billboard Campaign with Bad Domains
As I drive through LA and Southern California I am constantly reminded how many national companies spend hundreds of thousands on billboards and then fill them with terrible domains. I don’t see domains that are memorable. What I do see are domains with hypens, too many words, other tlds than dot com, and domains that [...]
Tuesday’s Daily Domain Drops and Auctions
Missed Monday’s posts because I was in travel and a bit tired. I’m now in Laguna it’s a heck of a lot cooler than Illinois. I already had the best night sleep I’ve had all year with the cool breeze and the sound of the ocean. Add that and my daily dose of Wahoo’s fish [...]

Tuesday’s Daily Dropping Domains and July Reaches New Traffic High
DomainShane just had it’s greatest month of traffic in it’s history. Of course, the history is only 9 months but I have received 26,000 uniques so far this month with a few days left to go. There were a couple of big days for a few articles but traffic certainly is picking up. And who [...]
Want to See My 5 Letter Dot Coms?
If you’re looking to make money in domaining then I would agree, 5 letter dot coms are not the way to go. That being said, the world is an ever growing place and there are plenty of companies and organizations looking for names. I’ve always felt that the shorter the domain, the easier it is [...]
Thanks Everyone For Helping with the Recent Malicious Javacript
I started getting emails today saying their virus protector was going off like a siren when they visited my site today. I searched the site for hours and finally found a piece of javascript hidden in an ad I was running. I’m sure it was there since the original hack and I so nicely reinstalled [...]
Thursday’s Daily Domains Dropping
Yesterday was one of my better domain days this year. I sold a domain that I recently purchased for my plant domain “empire” but the offer was too good to pass up. When it comes to plant names the offer had better be very good and this was. It was enough that I just had [...]
