One of our Latona's listings, ReviewCar.com just lowered their reserve from from $129,000 to $88,000 even after redesigning their site and increasing their revenue from $2 200 per month to more than $2600. The asking price is now less than three times earnings. I like that about the deal but what I really like to [...]
When we first listed car insurance quote site CarInQuotes.com on Latona's, the lead generation site had a running revenue average of about $170,000. Today it's doing more than $2000 per day or more than $700,000 per year. It's a good case study of the pros and cons of buying search engine sites. The seller originally [...]

I don't normally blog about names for sale on an individual basis but let's see what happens with this one. I'm partners on this name with a friend of mine in the financial services business. We don't have it priced but we are both reasonable. We are willing to entertain cash offers, financing offers as [...]
I remember the Singapore ICANN conference like it was yesterday. I remember the sign in the airport saying drug traffickers will be executed and the intense heat that hit me when I walked outside. Mostly, I remember the atmosphere at the ICANN convention itself. Everyone was excited about the big change about to happen in [...]
Dear Domainers, Domains are not worthless. That wasn't at all what I meant. There's been a lot of drama surrounding last Tuesday's announcement so I felt compelled to spend a beautiful Saturday afternoon elaborating on some of my comments that sparked so much outrage. I've made a personal decision to focus on cash generating websites for sale. [...]
For months now I've been divesting from the pure generic domain business and defining in my organization the class of assets known as web properties. I believe that what matters in today's day and age is cash flow. That is the simplest way to explain the new business model behind Latona's. To fully understand where [...]
Every time I find myself at Atlanta’s airport I pass a vending machine that sells the Atlanta Business Chronicle. Without fail, I tell myself, “You knew it was going to be there, you should have brought two dollars in change”. Seriously though, why should I have to do that? If these newspapers are going to [...]
I’m continuing my divestment of domain related assets by placing both DigiPawn and DigiLoan on the market. Most of you know that DigiPawn was the first company to use domains as collateral. It has a stellar reputation and a loyal client base. This is a real asset and I’m only interested in talking to real buyers. Please [...]
I was going to wait to announce this until Toby was ready to launch his own site at tobyclements.com but thought it prudent to go ahead and get it out there so he can start cutting some deals. A couple of weeks ago, Toby Clements and I cut a deal to divide up part of [...]
