I Have a New Respect for Those That Put Together Sales Lists and Auctions
You’ve probably read that I had the pleasure of working with Francois trying to put together a list of domains to sell that we released today. After putting together my first list, I now realize that it’s a tough deal. And I was the one that was stupid enough to ask if I could help. [...]
Advertisers Track Your Stats So the Traffic Numbers You Tell Them Better Be Real
I’ve been reading the fantastic stories about the growth of ScienceFiction.com and have received a few emails asking me if I think the growth numbers are real. My answer is simple. Patrick has done a great job building his brand and his site. His past actions and over the top branding were all learning curves [...]
A Day In The Life Of A Die-Hard SOPA Protestor
by Chris Woodward As we all know by now, people don’t like SOPA. It was big news recently when domain registrar giant GoDaddy.com voiced their support of the legislative bill, only to flip-flop days later. For some it was too little too late and many vowed to boycott GoDaddy and transfer their domains elsewhere. This [...]
Well We Did It: We Made It Through Another Year And December Traffic Up 400%
If you know me, you know I prefer to skip the big celebrations (I’ll be playing monopoly and drinking Corona with my family tonight) and enjoy each and every day. The advertisers (please click them after you get through reading this) and readers are certainly appreciated but they know I appreciate them through my daily [...]
This Weight Machine Represents That Domain You Were Going To Develop
See this weight machine? It looks like a regular old weight machine but it’s also an analogy for that domain you bought because you are going to develop it out. Both of them never got touched and just sat there wasting money waiting for something to happen that never did. That weight machine is my [...]
Plane Tickets to DomainFest Are Cheap Right Now
Since I no longer have my private jet due to the economy, I am now forced to ride with the common folk on a regular old airline. To make it even worse, I have to price shop to try and save a little money. Now that I think of it, I may not have ever [...]
Merry Christmas to All My Christmas Celebrating Friends
On behalf of Chris (and Christ as well) and I, we would like to wish all of a Merry Christmas. A holiday you get to spend with people you wish you’d see more often and those that you are glad you don’t have to. A day where people have trouble buying things for us because [...]
An Open Letter To Businesses : Don’t Bother With the Digital Christmas/Holiday Cards
It’s my pet peeve. Even before the days of digital cards, I always dismissed (ie tossed) every Christmas card I got from companies I buy from that didn’t spend the time to personalize. Christmas cards are personal. They are what you give to people you care about. Today its become something they throw at you [...]
Today We May Have Gotten a First Glipse of the DomainShane Effect
I say it in jest but I really do think today proved what a little domain blog publicity can do for an auction or company. This morning, as I do every day, posted some names at auction ending today from around the net that I liked. While I don’t claim to be a major player [...]
As a Business Owner It’s Tough To Take Criticism of Your Business, Your Baby
I know it first hand. Even though I know it’s best for my business to have surveys and ask customers what they think, I have to admit a cringe a little when I start reading them. In a business that we work 60-80 hours a week, put our heart and soul into, and take away [...]
