It's late May in the year 2008. Where the hell are we? Well, let's break down a recent conversation I had with Ron Jackson, the esteemed editor of dnjournal.com which is the only must-read domain news website out there, in my opinion. While emails that I send normally read from bottom to top, I've reversed [...]

Revenue, makes a domain sellable but tread carefully or you can get burned. For the buyers I have this one strong piece of advice. Unless the name has other intrinsic qualities i.e., has legs or is some obvious category killer, you can lose your ass. Today I'll look at ways it helps and focus on [...]

Yes, I haven't sent out a daily email or updated this blog in about a week. Guilty as charged. There was, after all, a convention about domains down in Orlando. Not that I was there, mind you. I took the opportunity to do absolutely nothing. Here in the States we've also had Memorial Day weekend [...]

For part three of this installment let's use a phrase that I hear so often in business circles. Does it have legs? For those of you that have English as your second language, you probably haven't heard this phrase very often. It means that when your site is up and running, it'll keep on running [...]

It isn't easy to appraise a domain. When someone asks me if I want to buy a name, I often reply simply with "I'll pass". Inevitably, they'll send me back an email asking my why I'm passing. Well, that's an impossible question to answer. Perhaps, in the future, I can point them to this series I'm [...]

This is just a quick post to help out my friend Sahar. He's giving away a free entry to the TRAFFIC convention in Orlando. http://www.dnzoom.com/blog/events/traffic-orlando-domain-conference-free-ticket-drawing/

I need about a dozen  Spanish writers for building out 1000 mini-sites on these .com.mx domains. Hit me up if you qualify and are looking for work.

I've done some bone-headed things in my time but this one might have taken the cake. Only time will tell. Here's the skinny. .Com.mx domains have never been popular, In fact, you could, even today, hand-register almost any name you wanted. Besides the fact that they are just cctld domains there is a risk that [...]

I'm a bad golfer. Ok, I'm a terrible golfer. What sucks is that I have tried so hard. I take the lessons, I get out and play, but I still suck. So what's a guy to do? Well, I suppose I'm the kind of guy that takes things to the extreme. This past weekend I [...]
