I'm not sure why I keep making so many mistakes in my daily newsletters. Just yesterday I made two. I told my audience that on jp.net I can no confirm that this name does 5 dollars a day on Sedo. What does that mean? It looks like I'm saying I can't confirm when in fact [...]

Hopefully in a few days I'll be launching SouthLakeTahoe.com. There is a temporary site up there now but it's not good enough. I'm a little more excited about this one than most GEO names. It is an actually city for one thing but what really gets me thinking good thoughts are the numerous hotels, cabins [...]

I get asked a lot what names I've sold recently. Very often people ask me not to announce it so a huge chunk of the real list below is missing from this post. Looking at them now, combined they would make a nice portfolio. So here's about half the names I've sold in the first [...]

While I made a promise to myself to never regurgitate press releases and only blog when I had something I wanted to talk about, I must chime in on the GEO domain conversation which my peers are having. I suppose I'm more bullish than Sahar and more bearish than SimplyGEO and Elliot Silver. Many domainers, [...]

When I was younger, GTE used to have a commercial for their Yellow Pages that featured a fictional character named Bob. Bob owned a store called Bob’s Rug. In the story he’s asked why he doesn’t advertise in the GTE Yellow Pages and his answer was, “I can’t advertise in the Yellow Pages. If I [...]

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 [...]
