Posted on 17 October 2010 by Andrei
Lots of people are rambling (especially on domaining forums) about how in order to survive, domainers need to become developers. In other words, learn how to build sites, how to generate traffic and how to monetize that traffic. Oh really? Well, I strongly disagree and here’s why:

I’ve received quite a few requests to offer “white hat SEO” advice and before publishing a series of “SEO Tips for Domainers” posts on DomainingTips.com, I thought I’d make one thing perfectly clear: there’s no such thing as “white hat SEO”, it’s an oxymoron.

Since I write a lot of posts about things that suck, I thought I’d make an exception today and write about something which doesn’t haha.

Posted on 06 October 2010 by Andrei
Mike from DomainConsultant.com has launched a new domain auction website, BoxCar.com.
