Decent Results at Today’s TRAFFIC Auction

Posted on 21 October 2013 by Andrei

I followed the auction through Vin’s twitter feed and DNN (here and here).

In my opinion, the results were decent and the most important thing is that we had a wide variety of domains, many of which were priced to sell.

Murphy’s Laws and Domaining

Posted on 20 October 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, it makes sense to be prepared liquidity-wise. In other words, to always have at least a little bit of capital ready in case unexpected opportunities arise.

4 $1.99 GoDaddy Coupons

Posted on 19 October 2013 by Andrei

The great news for a lot of readers is that all 4 *should* work internationally, so not just in the US and Canada. I used the word *should* because I didn’t use any of them myself, so I can’t make any promises/guarantees.

Posted on 18 October 2013 by Andrei

As a domainer, I honestly doubt everything will always happen the way you want it to.

Sedo GreatDomains October Starting Tomorrow

Posted on 16 October 2013 by Andrei

I’d say this month’s inventory is average, nothing special.

Someone who works in the construction industry should always pay attention to hazards which are specific to that line of work.

Why Do Some Domainers Use Private Whois?

Posted on 14 October 2013 by Andrei

Never quite understood this.

Their domain is listed as for sale at one venue at the very least, so it’s clear they want to sell and not develop, yet they use private whois.

What If Everyone’s Right?

Posted on 13 October 2013 by Andrei

Most people seem to think we have two fundamentally different positions when it comes to new gTLDs: on the one hand, those who are optimistic and on the other hand, those who are pessimistic.

Divergent, irreconcilable positions, right?
