I've been doing some thinking.... Hide the sharp utensils! Seriously folks, a man has the right to change his mind and the responsibility to admit he's wrong and explain his decision. Rather than throw a hastily put together no reserve auction with lousy names that would put up mediocre numbers, we've decided to pull it [...]

Today's interview is with Sabine Dolderer, the CEO of DENIC which runs Germany's .de ccTLD. Most of my readers are well aware that Germany's extension crushes other ccTLDs in aftermarket sales. .de names are also the most widely registered ccTLD. .cn names have had a nice run in the last year and might even have [...]

Summer slow down got you down? It's hot out there if you are in the northern hemisphere. That's why we are throwing our domain stimulous package in the form of a no reserve auction. We are running the best 100 names that get submitted. There won't be 101 names or more in the auction. We [...]

I'm proud to have completed an interview with Loic Damilaville of AFNIC the organization behind .fr, France's ccTLD.

I'd like to think my reasons are more shrewd than that. The country has over 110 million people in it, predominately under the age of 35. As we all know, [...]

Greetings from Sydney Australia. What's amazed me about this current ICANN meeting is the sheer number of companies and individuals lobbying for their own extensions with ICANN. Last night we went to a party, hosted by Wolfgang Puck and the good people over at Mind and Machines. Chef Puck is going after .food. Are the [...]

Rick, Howard and I want to grow TRAFFIC into something very special for the industry. Just today we've cut a deal for a major CPA companyto give a really educational lecture/lesson in New York on buying traffic and monitizing outside the PPC industry. More on that later... The reason I am bringing it up now [...]
