Will Domainers Change Their Opinions After Reading New gTLD Debates/Articles?

Posted on 11 March 2014 by Andrei

As an investor, being open minded enough to change your opinion whenever the arguments overwhelmingly point in that direction is a huge advantage. Most people don’t do this, primarily for ego-related reasons.

Since I own DomainingTips, I’ve obviously asked myself this question quite often, especially over the past couple of months: will domainers change their opinions after reading some of the articles I’ve written or after reading the debates in the comments section?

As of Today, Comments Are No Longer Moderated

Posted on 10 March 2014 by Andrei

Up until this point, all comments had to be approved manually before appearing on DomainingTips but as of today, I’m going to try an experiment and disable comment moderation altogether. That way, your comment *should* appear instantly, assuming of course that it isn’t caught by a filter (for example, if your comment contains a bunch of links, the filter will catch it and the comment in question will not appear until I approve it).

Would You Pay 100 Bucks for Dating.info?

Posted on 09 March 2014 by Andrei

On Tuesday, I exchanged thoughts with some readers and tried to explain that despite the fact that let’s say .info is considered a failure by most domainers, certain domains definitely have reseller market value.

5 GoDaddy Discount Codes

Posted on 08 March 2014 by Andrei

I’ll be sharing 5 GoDaddy coupons with you guys this week. One of them is a United Kingdom discount code but it might work for other countries as well and as far as the remaining 4 are concerned, I’m not sure if they work worldwide or only for customers from the US/Canada.

Didn’t use any myself, so I can’t guarantee they will work.

Domaining Industry Fallacies – False Dilemma

Posted on 07 March 2014 by Andrei

Today, I’ll be analyzing the “false dilemma” fallacy (logical error) from the perspective of a domainer. As the name suggests, we’re dealing with such a fallacy whenever someone tries to make it seem that the two options which are being presented are the only possible situations despite the fact that there are actually more.

High Returns vs. High Inventory Turnover

Posted on 06 March 2014 by Andrei

A lot of people are excited about the fact that when selling to end users, the returns are often *very* high. A lot of people frequently turn registration fee purchases into let’s say 4 figure sales, so again, the returns can be impressive.

For Which New gTLDs Will There Be Reseller Market Demand?

Posted on 04 March 2014 by Andrei

Realistically speaking, it’s highly unlikely that *all* new gTLDs will end up being liquid on the reseller market. Therefore, the following question arises: for which new gTLDs will there be reseller market demand?

Will “Dot Com End User Pricing” Strategies Work for New gTLDs?

Posted on 03 March 2014 by Andrei

In my opinion, the answer is no.

As far as great investment grade dot coms are concerned at the moment of writing, the strategy is simple: good dot coms are expensive, so your strategy is basically something along the lines of “buy high, sell higher” and it can actually work rather well.

Domaining Industry Fallacies – Straw Man

Posted on 02 March 2014 by Andrei

The principle behind the straw man fallacy (a logical error) is simple: instead of attacking someone’s position, you present a distorted version of that position (one that is easier to attack) and start attacking that one instead of referring to that person’s actual position.
